[ Rather than be disgruntled by Stiles elbowing at him, Derek just smiles charmingly at him in a completely different way than he does the older woman. She takes their cookies and the casserole and ushers them into the house, and he simply sets his hand in the small of Stiles' back as they go. It's for just a moment, like he's bracing himself for the inevitable avalanche of excited middle-aged women that have adopted him into their strange family, but then he's swept away like he predicted.

They keep commenting on the fact that he looks happier than usual, and think that they're so sly when they do, like he doesn't know exactly what they're implying every time they titter at him and look off to wherever the kindergarten teacher has been taken off to.

But he can't help but gravitate towards Stiles every time he's given the chance, when he's not sneaking off to the kitchen to escape from them for a couple minutes at a time before someone is sent to retrieve him.

He's so doomed. He really is.
