Imagine all the Hale kids plus their cousins all at the park and kid stiles is there playing with kid Cora and her cousins then they make Derek play with them. Derek is classic middle child. He’s older than the little kids but younger than Laura and the other cousins. Stiles absolutely loves playing with Derek. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the werewolf kids and even the human ones too but Derek stays behind with stiles until he catches up. Then when it’s time to leave Talia calls over the kids with a loud whistle (lol my mom actually does this) and all the kids all start herding back to the car, including stiles who is just following along. It takes Talia when they’re half way home to realize that she took an extra kid with her, she didn’t even smell him cause they’ve all been rolling around him all day. Good thing she knows Claudia so she won’t be too freaked out.
She gets half way home and realises there’s 11 heartbeats in the back seat when there should only be 10 (I know, what car fits 11 kids, we’ll, they’re small and children - especially werewolf pups - have no regards for safety). She pulls over and turns around to see stiles sitting between Cora and Derek with a big smile on his face.
I like to think that Talia, Noah and Claudia grew up around the same time and know each other well, or maybe Peter caused a lot of trouble growing up and Noah was a new deputy that often had to deal with him (like Parrish with Stiles), so she knows Stiles and just drives him home. Chances are, Stiles snuck out of the house to go play at the park in the first place.
Noah Stilinski looks at his sons. He wishes he didn't have to address this topic, but as a father and as a sheriff, it was his duty. "Boys? I think it's time we talk about your... questionable taste in older men, who just happen to be werewolves and related."
Y/N looks at his father. "Technically, this is all Stiles's fault. He's the older brother. I'm just following my big brother's example."
"Oh, that is such bullshit! You're the one who started this by sucking Peter Hale's dick." Stiles said.
"Yeah, but you're the one who was getting fucked by–"
"Okay, enough! You're both guilty." Noah Stilinski said.
"Would it help things if we said Kate Argent turned Peter and Derek to teenagers?"
Alright but I just need fics where Stiles tells Derek that he loves him and Derek rejects him bc he doesn’t want to be Kate but it’s kinda too mean to Stiles and they stop talking.
Shit comes to BC as always and young Derek appears again but this time old Derek is still on the picture so we have a love triangle that Scott will laughs about for a century:
Young Derek likes Stiles - Stiles likes Older Derek - Older Derek also likes Stiles but he’s not going to do anything abou- IS THAT YOUNG HIMSELF DOING A MAGIC MIKE NUMBER ON STILES?!
I was 22 when I watched Teen Wolf the first time, and I thought "I'm an adult, Derek needs to get it together!!"
Watching it 10 years later, at 32?? I was like "there is a baby in charge of other babies, where are the adults????"
Like, Derek cannot even rent a car in season 1, he's that young.
no because this is SO TRUE!! my gut reaction first watching it when I was 19 and I was just like man, I could totally do better, there’s no way I’d be this much of a mess!!
now??? two short years later and not quite 22?? man I let myself run out of groceries to the extent that I couldn’t eat without going to Kroger, I can barely get myself to bed at a reasonable hour, I could NOT take care of other children especially while being hunted for sport!!!
he can’t rent a car!!! he’d have a hard time renting a hotel room!!! and he doesn’t have anybody to call when he puts the wrong colored laundry together or spills something on the carpet like - god I’m drinking my cut Derek Hale some slack today juice
Imagine kid Derek running around with his werewolf teeth cause he can control his shift and he has a lisp and his canine teeth are sharp. But his teeth are still small cause he’s still a child so no one really questions it cause it still looks sort of normal.
117 is the best teen wolf episode because you can see younger Derek realizing that Stiles is spouting absolute NONSENSE and goes "alright now how to make him double down" AND STILES DOES EVERY TIME ITS BRILLIANT NO NOTES
the fact that we never see younger, never-broken-a-law-ever Derek Hale reacting to Stiles speedrunning every crime ever is a travesty
Proof that Derek is, like, all of 21 in season 1: his tight ass jeans. He is running around like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, looking good while kicking ass, and doing a bunch of backflips for no reason.
Peter, while wearing his slutty v-necks, wears sensible pants and shoes. Derek?? Tight jeans, the skankiest tank top I've ever seen in my entire life, a leather jacket, and motorcycle boots. Way too much hair gel, artfully groomed stubble.
He's 21.
styled hair, leather jacket, the tightest jeans known to man and converse. this is not sensible adult behavior. laura died and took the brain cell with her.
