puppy love } { of date nights and moving in

[arbalete]

Derek: [which he appreciates, especially when he does things that he used to enjoy doing with his sister]

Allison: [she knows it's hard on him and she doesn't want to make it any harder. even if she thinks Cora is being ridiculous]

Derek: [and since Baal is off with his grandmother and alpha for the weekend, he will be working on cooking them dinner, a bottle of wine already open for them as he cooked] So how was your week?

Allison: I got to watch Matt and Stiles break each other's noses.

Derek: ... Do i want to know what caused that?

Allison: Can't really tell you a lot of it, but let's just say it was consensual. Sort of.

Derek: [sighs] Alright. I'll just go with that.

Allison: Sorry. You know how my job is.

Derek: Yup, all secrets and me imagining you looking sexy with a gun.

Allison: [she laughs] Well, that I could show you if you want.

Derek: Maybe later. [grins, going to pour some of the wine over the meat]

Allison: Just let me know. [she moves closer and slides her arms around his waist from behind] Anything I can do to help?

Derek: Removing the ideas that could risk you getting splashed with grease, if you want to set the table I won't complain.

Allison: [smirks and presses a kiss to his cheek] Setting the table. Got it.

Derek: Oh, so my mentor accepted my thesis today. I get to enter the edit stage now.

Allison: That's great!

Derek: Yeah, it means I'm almost at the end of this crazy journey.

Allison: That must be a little scary.

Derek: Yeah, it is. I mean, I'm not worried about the data. Being overseas helped a lot in focusing my perspective. But I don't know what I'm going to do after I graduate.

Allison: I'm sure you'll find something.

Derek: Hopefully. I mean, yeah I technically don't need to have a job. Ever. But I would go stir crazy.

Allison: You mean if we wanted to, you would have to be the stay at home parent and I would be the breadwinner?

Derek: We could do that. But are you the breadwinner when the stay at home parent is independently wealthy?

Allison: For the purposes of this analogy yes.

Derek: Then yes, you would be the breadwinner.

Allison: I like it.

Derek: You could come home, I'd have dinner ready and afterward massage your feet while you catch up on the DVR and Baal does his homework.

Allison: That sounds like a pretty nice life.

Derek: I do find it appealing.

Allison: Yeah?

Derek: Yeah. I can even start a book club.

Allison: I'm sure yours would be the favorite of every local suburban mom.

Derek: Well, it won't be about Fifty Shades.

Allison: It wouldn't have to be.

Derek: Do you think they would like a book club about stories dealing with human slave trades?

Allison: Only if you give them lots and lots of wine.

Derek: [chuckles] The wine I can do. But then they may try to crawl in my lap and that comes back to you and your gun

Allison: Well, I trust you, even if they don't keep their hands to themselves.

Derek: [grins] Maybe I should do a Mr. Mom book club instead.

Allison: You mean all the stay at home dads?

Derek: Yeah.

Allison: I think you might still run into the same problem.

Derek: But less with the grabby hands.

Allison: Are you sure about that?

Derek: ..... I can be hopeful, okay? [laughs]

Allison: [she laughs, moving closer and wrapping her arms around his neck] Sorry. I don't mean to dash your dreams.

Derek: And now I have images of men rubbing my thighs while holding a wine glass and telling me that my ideals are adorable.

Allison: Your ideals are adorable.

Derek: You can say that, and you can especially rub my thigh while saying that.

Allison: Well, you're standing, so rubbing your thigh right now would get a little awkward.

Derek: And leading back to things that would get you splattered with grease.

Allison: So maybe we'll save that for later.

Derek: I'll make a note of it. But right now, dinner is ready.

Allison: Good. I'm starving.

Derek: [and he will bring the meat to the table, sliding it onto the carving board. In bowls around it are the roasted potatoes and the sautéed veggies he had finished before starting the meat. The bread basket and salad is also there] So, we can start our salads while the meat sets.

Allison: Perfect. [and she will get to work doing that]

Derek: [and then he will go and carve the meat after his salad and they will have dinner and more wine and then they can retire to the living room with the remainder of the bottle]

Allison: [and she'll stretch out on the couch and rest against his chest, already lazy and tipsy with the wine] You're comfy.

Derek: Yeah, I’ve been getting a bit of a stomach from being back in the states and eating fatty foods. Makes a nice little pillow for you.

Allison: [she laughs as she curls up closer] I wouldn't call this a stomach. You've still got a werewolf metabolism.

Derek: Okay, well the six pack definitely has a bit of padding.

Allison: Maybe a little.

Derek: Better than being boney.

Allison: You were never that either.

Derek: I got close while in Turkey. But I was giving most of my meals to the refugees.

Allison: [makes a face at that] Derek.

Derek: What?

Allison: You needed to eat just as much as they did.

Derek: I know, but I can live on a lot less.

Allison: And you can't help them if you make yourself sick.

Derek: Healing factor.

Allison: Hunger is not an illness that you can just heal from. Eventually your body runs out of fuel.

Derek: I know. I wasn't giving them everything. I ate enough to be okay, and gave them the rest.

Allison: [she still makes a face at him, but lets it go and settles her head against his shoulder]

Derek: I'm a bleeding heart liberal, Allison. Get used to it.

Allison: I'm a liberal too. But I didn't think that phrase indicated a literal bleeding heart.

Derek: Well, I won't give them my literal bleeding heart. I do need that.

Allison: Good.

Derek: So, if you're going to be the breadwinner, does that mean when I graduate Baal and I will come move in with you?

Allison: Sure if you want to live with Scott and Lydia and Stiles.

Derek: [nose wrinkles] How about you move in with us then?

Allison: You really want me to?

Derek: [thinks, and then nods] Yeah, I would actually. I really do like waking up to your face in the morning.

Allison: And you think Baal would be okay with it?

Derek: I do. The kid loves you.

Allison: Let me see when my lease is up. I should at least give them time to figure out if they're going to stay there or find another roommate.

Derek: Sounds like a plan. I probably have at least until the rest of the end of the semester before I'd present.

Allison: [she nods] I think I have another year on the lease.

Derek: I think I can afford to buy your part of the lease out if you want to.

Allison: We'll see. I'll talk to them the next time we get everyone home.

Derek: Sounds good. [and he will reach over to rub her thigh] It'll give me enough time to really work on soundproofing the bedrooms too.

Allison: Oh really?

Derek: Yup. Make sure what happens in my room doesn't float out into the rest of the apartment, and will also make sure Baal, when he's in his room with the door closed, can't hear what may be happening in the kitchen or living room. Which would also be good if you need to go somewhere for a work call neither of us should be hearing.

Allison: I think that's a great idea.

Derek: Baal is getting better about sleeping with the door closed too.

Allison: That's good. I know how he feels about being closed in.

Derek: I'm thinking of getting him a new window that I can make it into a window ledge so he can sit in it and look out and up as well.

Allison: I think he'd love that.

Derek: That side of the building is calm so it shouldn't cause too many problems.

Allison: Good.

Derek: So what kind of remodeling would you need to this place for when you move in?

Allison: [she considers for a moment as she looks around] Weapon storage.

Derek: [his eyebrow goes up but he slowly nods because yeah, FBI woman. Even if she's living with two werewolves, she'll want her weapons] Well, we can add a gun locker to a closet.

Allison: And my bows.

Derek: ... We may need a bigger place.

Allison: I have them in a storage locker currently. So it's not a pressing need.

Derek: Well, if I'm going to do work on the place, if this is going to be too small, I'd rather look for a bigger place then. Not like we have to do it today, just take our time, find one that works for all three of us. See how that works with the lease you have?

Allison: We can do that. Do you think Baal would be okay with that?

Derek: I'll have to see. Approach the idea to him slowly, make sure he's a part of the process.

Allison: [she nods] That makes sense. Maybe we could go through the listings with him.

Derek: Tell us what he wants in a bedroom and if he wants a separate play room.

Allison: [she nods] I think it'll be good for him. It'll feel more like his.

Derek: Me too. [runs a hand along her cheek] For all of us.

Allison: [smiles softly as she leans in to kiss him]

Derek: [and he will kiss her back, his hands gently cupping her face to hold her close]

Allison: [and she will hums softly as she leans into the kiss pulling him closer]

Derek: [and he will eventually shift them so that he's stretched out on top of her, and his hand will go to slide down along her sides]

Allison: [and she will settle under him comfortably, her hands tangling in his shirt as she pulls him closer]

Derek: [and it won't be long before he's pushing her shirt up so that he could feel his hands against her skin while they kiss]

Allison: [and she moans softly at that into the kiss, before pulling back and looking at him] We should probably head to the bedroom.

Derek: He's not here to worry about.

Allison: That doesn't mean he won't smell it later.

Derek: I will clean up in the morning, but if you're that concerned [he kissed along her neck] We can stop and move.

Allison: [her eyes close as her head tips back] I'm just trying not to create questions you don't want to answer.

Derek: [she kissed along her throat] I appreciate that. We can go to the bedroom.

Allison: Okay. [but he has to move first so she just waits]

Derek: [and he will push up and bring her with him, keeping her close against him]

Allison: [And she will go with him, leaning in to kiss him as they go]

Derek: [and when they get to the bedroom, he will guide her back to the bed]

Allison: [which she will fall into with him, pulling off clothes as they go]

Derek: [yup, and he is going to kiss and tease her all over with his mouth before getting a condom on and making love to her]

Allison: [which she will enjoy every minute of, until she drops down against the bed with a happy, tipsy laugh]

Derek: [and he will be holding himself above her, smirking] Good?

Allison: [she nods with a smile] Good.

Derek: [and he will push off to the side to snuggle with her] I love you.

Allison: [curls into him gently] I love you too.

Derek: I so glad we found each other again.

Allison: Me too.

Derek: Do you think, if things hadn't gone down back then... that we would have been like this?

Allison: [she gives a small shrug] I don't know.

Derek: I'd hope so.

Allison: I prefer not to think about the what ifs. It can keep you from moving forward.

Derek: Yeah, trust me, I know.

Allison: I love what we have now. What we have now is good.

Derek: I wouldn't trade it for the world. [his mom would want him to be happy.]

Allison: Good. Me either.

Derek: [and he will kiss along her neck]

Allison: [and she closes her eyes as she leans into his touch]

Derek: [and he will nibble on her ear, because he's totally up for another round]

Allison: [which she will not say no to, since he is very persuasive]

Derek: [which she will then get, with a lot more foreplay and teasing and playful nipping]

Allison: [which she will do her best to return in kind]

Derek: [she is good at that, he's not going to lie]

Allison: [she's glad he thinks so]

Derek: [and then they can snuggle and eventually fall asleep]

Allison: [yep, a good end to a good night]
