[ Talking Stiles into doing this had, actually, been surprisingly easy compared to the stink he was expecting. Derek was pretty sure that Stiles would flatout refuse to do it, but with enough asking and prodding and charming (not very fair of him but still) he'd managed to get him on the other side of the camera. He's been behind it a few times himself since he got the damn thing and its assorted upgrades and replacements, but this is the first time that he's given up his position as host for his vlogs.
He's more than willing to let it happen, though, considering how good Stiles looks in his kitchen. He'd kind of like it to happen more often, but he's going to keep that to himself for now. After six months of growing friendship, and multiple dates that haven't really been dates because Derek won't actually refer to them as dates to Stiles, he's... actually pretty happy, even if it's just platonic. Part of him is terrified of that fact, but a bigger part is even more wary of tipping over that line. Bickering like a married couple is one thing. Being an actual couple is another.
He has to bring a hand up to cover his mouth and hide his smile-- though the way his eyes crinkle at the corners give him away-- when Stiles smacks himself in the nose, but he shakes his head when he tries to request it being cut. People see him screw up all the time, he's not going to edit or let him start over again. ] Just go, you're doing fine.
[ Rather than keep the camera on a tripod like he normally does, Derek actually holds it and follows Stiles' movements. If he zooms in on his hands at any point, he will just say it's so they can get a better sense of what he's talking about as he works on cutting up his ingredients. It isn't because he has a small crush on just Stiles' stupid hands or anything.
But there's a difference, in his episodes and Stiles', and it almost necessitates Derek manning the camera: Stiles talks with his entire body. It's an enormous contrast to the more muted movements he makes usually, absent hand gestures and shifts in his body. Stiles moves his hands, his arms, shifts his weight, rolls his head. The motions almost seem to slow down a bit when he's focused, but not enough to be completely dampened.
And he likes it.
Just as much as he likes the little look he gets towards the end, and he actually looks down at the camera's flip screen to try and hide his own expression, corners of his mouth downturned as he feels a flush of warmth in his chest. But he doesn't really help himself when he looks up from under his brow at him. ] I think I could get used to this role reversal, so I hope you're all ready for more of Stiles Stilinski's popular recipes as actually brought to you by him.
