I'll hold you to that, Stiles.

But. With that said, and with your assurance that this will not happen again without a good reason . . . what are you doing for this birthday date?

[overshirts]

I don't actually know.

[give her strength]

[originallutece]

[--although actually--]

This person must mean a great deal to you, then, if you're that eager to go out with them.

[overshirts]

[ stiles types and deletes and types and delete and types and deletes over the coarse of five minutes - either he's writing a novel, or he's indecisive, but that little dancing ellipsis makes a number of appearances before stiles finally settles on a response. ]

Well, he's kind of my boyfriend, so.
Yes?
Well not kind of.
I don't know why I said kind of.
He is definitely not kind of my boyfriend.

[originallutece]

Is that a "he is definitely my boyfriend", then, or a "definitely not"?

[overshirts]

The first one.

[originallutece]

Congratulations, then. I'm glad for you both.

Who is it?

[overshirts]

Thanks?
I've never been congratulated for dating someone.
Is that
Do people normally congratulate other people for that?

[ because he never has, but what does he know when it comes to relationships and customary whatevers? his experience is admittedly kind of... narrow. ]

That's not really important, is it?

[originallutece]

It is to me, yes.

And it's not unheard of. You're in a new relationship, which is a positive thing, and an occasion for minor celebration. So: congratulations, I'm happy for you, so on and so forth.

[overshirts]

Wow, if that wasn't the most "I'm obligated to say something positive in response to the change in your relationship status because society says so" thing I've ever heard.

[ he laughed though, so it's fine. also just going to casually not answer that other question, thank you. ]

[originallutece]

Oh, hush. You asked, I explained. I don't feel obligated, I'm trying to tell you that I'm pleased for you.

And I noticed you didn't answer me. Are you so shy?

[overshirts]

No.

[ well? WELL? ]

[originallutece]

Well?

Derek.

1/?

[originallutece]

[No, truthfully, she hadn't seen that coming-- but now that she knows, she's not entirely shocked. Stiles had spoken of Derek with fierce fondness, a quiet defensiveness that had struck her. It was fitting for a friend, but it's also fitting for a person you've learned to--

--well. Maybe not love, not yet. But at least grow terribly fond of.]

done

[originallutece]

[But regardless: she wonders that he didn't want to say.]

He's a good choice.

Why were you reluctant to say?

[overshirts]

[ it takes stiles a while to figure out how to properly explain. ]

I don't know.
I guess I just want to protect it.

[ their relationship. keep it secret, keep it safe. not that he feels threatened or ashamed. it's just... nice, to finally have something he's wanted for a long, long time. ]

[originallutece]

I can understand that.

Robert and I couldn't tell anyone of our relationship. But I was glad for that at the beginning. I didn't want to share him, or what we had together. Some people enjoy bragging; I wanted nothing more than to hide ourselves away.

1/2

[overshirts]

Don't get me wrong
I will brag about Derek to anyone who already knows
Which actually turns out to be just you
I mean I don't know if Derek has told anyone but
Anyway.
Have you seen him?
Have you seen me?
What kind of freaking miracle?

[overshirts]

But uh.
Yeah. I kind of like this little
Bubble thing we've got going on.
