The next morning Derek woke up with his head resting awkwardly against the wall. He blinked at the sun that had just started to come up. He looked at the bed where Stiles and Theo were still sleeping. It was silent downstairs which meant no one else was awake. Derek decided to take this time to grab a quick shower.

Stiles rolled over too see Derek grabbing a pair of jeans from his dresser.

"What are you doing?" Stiles asked his voice groggy from sleep.

"Gonna take a shower." Derek answered quietly.

"Can I pee real fast?" Stiles asked sitting up and attempting to rub the sleep from his eyes.

"Yeah." Derek nodded.

Stiles had gone downstairs to make some breakfast and wake everyone else up but with everyone sleeping so peacefully he decided to wait. He grabbed a granola bar and a glass of water before looking over the books Derek had laid on his table. He knew Derek had been up reading for a while. He wondered if he found anything.

Derek stepped into his room in nothing but a pair of jeans. He stopped when he saw Theo sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Stiles is downstairs." Theo said when Derek scanned the room.

"Then why aren't you?" Derek asked pulling a shirt from his drawer.

"I wanted to talk to you about last night." Theo shifted nervously.

Derek frowned. He could smell the nervousness. It was strong.

"Okay." Derek assumed Theo was going to ask about making a move on Stiles.

Theo stood up and walked towards Derek.

"You say there's nothing going on between you and Stiles." Theo shifted.
"But you love him right?" Theo asked.

Derek raised a brow at Theo. "No."

"I don't believe you." Theo smiled a bit.

"You don't have to." Derek shrugged. He was about to step back when Theo stopped Derek by pulling him into a kiss.

Derek was stunned at first. He grabbed Theo's waist to push him away. He opened his mouth to object but Theo slipped a tongue in tangling it with his. Derek was again stunned for a moment before he finally pulled away from the younger guy.

"What the hell?" Derek snapped.

"You were right about me being suggestive with Stiles. Since you knew I figured you wouldn't read anything into it." Theo shrugged.

"Who said I was gay?" Derek snapped.

"You don't have to." Theo chuckled.

"For the record, that cleared it up for me. I'm definitely not gay." Theo chuckled.

"Great, now you can stop taunting Stiles." Derek growled.

Derek's ears perked up at the sound of his front door opening and closing again.
