When Derek met Stiles he knew right away that he would be a nuisance to his life, with big limbs and lots of moles all over his body.
He tried to avoid falling for those amber eyes and sarcastic smile at any cost, his whole family really knows that he tried.
Things went wrong, because that teenager swept into his life like a cold draft on a quiet morning.
He ended up completely in love, but there were still things that bothered him about Stiles, even after asking him for a formal relationship, even after moving in together and even after asking him to marry him.
So he decided to make a list.
• I hate it when you tell me it's not your fault, but it still is.
• I hate it when you wake up in the middle of the night and decide you want breakfast.
• I hate that you're always right.
• I hate that I don't know how to understand you.
• I hate that you take every part of me, just to make me a jelly mass between your hands.
• I hate that you never think before you act.
• I hate how you always put yourself in danger.
• I hate knowing there is nothing I can do to bring you back.
How would I get phosphors on my key? Have you been handling chemicals? No, I don't think I... I'm sorry. I'm really, totally sorry. I just thought of something and I have to go. Really, I want it. I want to stay. I would just stay all night... I swear... But I really have to go and I don't want to offend you. Okay. Sorry. I just... Okay? Okay. Here. You could drink that. Drink that whole thing. Whole thing, okay? Excuse me. Bye!
