Today& #39;s prompt: going back to the time when Teen Wolf was cool because a very dear friend of mine asked me for Sterek adopting a pet https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ„°" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❀" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">
Stiles knew, perhaps better than anyone, that when Derek said no, he meant a big fat no, no. Kinda like a very authoritarian bouncer at a club who could deny your entrance with a mortifying look alone, or a parent who wouldn’t let you have any more cookies before bed.
So when Derek said “fuck no” that morning, Stiles should have left it at that. Taken the dog to the vet to check for any wounds or a chip and let the pros handle the rest since he wouldn’t be able to keep her.
But to be fair, that morning, Stiles wasn’t as attached to the pup.

“Alright, sweetie,” Stiles tugged on his jeans to crouch down over the puppy as if she would understand the words coming out of his mouth. “You’re gonna have to work with me here. I’m going to the store (...)
(...) real quick, and you’re gonna have to be quiet the whole time. I won’t be long! Just getting you some food!”

The stray dog rolled on her back, tongue sticking out. Of course, she just wanted pets, not to hear the masterplan.
“Oh, you
” Stiles cooed with all his heart, scratching her belly contentedly. How he had fallen in love so fast, was beyond him. He thought he’d only have room for one dog in his life, but alas, there he was, stroking another dog’s fur.
Maybe that was Derek’s problem; some territory thing, or whatever. Maybe having another canine around would threaten his stature as the big bad Alpha. As if this beautiful little girl could ever stand a chance against a werewolf. “Derek’s a big dum-dum, isn’t he? Yes, he is!”
It pained Stiles immensely to leave the newfound pup alone at their place. His face felt sticky from all the licks and kisses he had received, and he couldn’t wait to return for more. Derek shouldn’t be back until late at night —he always did that every now and then, the idiot
and forgot to warn Stiles as if he were just part of the furniture of their home— and until then, he would have to find a way to convince him that the best thing they could possibly do at the peak their relationship had reached was having a baby.
Since that wasn’t doable, thank the Lord, it was time to have a pup!

He was hoping the trip to the pet shop would help him come up with some ideas on how to tell that to his boyfriend, but he had instead spent most of the time trying to decide if the dog
would like the pink collar or the blue one. Gender roles didn’t apply to cute ass pups, so he decided to buy the yellow one with paw prints. Also the food, a nice dual bowl and a squeaky toy!

The rest of the way home was to come up with the most brilliant name for the girl.
When he opened the front door of his house, he was saluted with the brick wall that was the body of his boyfriend, Derek’s head slowly turning to look at him.

Ah, fuck.

The living room pillows had been completely ravished by the small teeth of the puppy, puffs of cotton (...)
spread all across the carpet, puddles of what could possibly be piss, but he didn’t want to think about that yet.

“Ah. Honey. You’re home.” Stiles leaned on the doorframe, stretching one of his widest smiles. Something in Derek’s eyes told him that the “smiling his way out
of an argument” technique wouldn’t work this time around.

“Why is the dog still here?” He simply asked, footsteps heavy as he paced across the room to reach behind the couch, pulling up the pup by the stretchy skin of the back of her neck. Stiles bit his lip, trying to (...)
figure out how to go about explaining that he had directly gone against something his boyfriend had told him to do.

Well, it wasn’t like he was going to be bossed around by a werewolf, anyway, that was part of their agreement coming into a relationship, but one of the
points that Stiles himself had included in that invisible, impalpable contract, was that big decisions were supposed to be made together. Having a pet was one of those big decisions.

The power of Derek’s green eyes gleamed over Stiles, eyebrow tilting,
urging him to start explaining and fast. “I uh
 I went to get some stuff for Fetch—”

“... You named her ‘Fetch’?”

“Pretty genius, right? So when we throw a stick or a toy, we get to say—” Derek’s eyes bore holes into Stiles’ very soul and he might have trembled at that, (...)
“Right. Right. Sorry. Uh. I just
 It’s like
 she came to me, you know? Out of every stray dog out there, out of everyone she could’ve peed on in that park, it was me! It’s like... she was meant to stay with us.”

“Stiles, I told you I didn’t want any pets.”
“Right.” Shit. “You did. But
 I thought
 we could talk about it.”

Fetch wiggled against Derek’s hold with a soft yelp that was barely a bark, and he was forced to change the hold on her, laying her on his forearm. It was an endearing sight, her tiny pink tongue leaving a (...)
trail of kisses over Derek’s hairy arm.

“Aw, see? She likes you already!” Stiles chuckled, flying across the room to grab the little animal by the ears, caressing her with gentle scratches behind her ears. “That’s how she likes it too, you know! Right behind her cute (...)
little floppy ears!”

The silence reigned heavy between long pets and playful nibbles, the dog’s sharp tiny fangs barely scraping Stiles’ skin. Derek watched them attentively, gaze alternating between his arms and Stiles.
“She does not sleep with us,” after what could’ve been a little portion of forever, Derek stated, firm as a rock. “And she has to learn to pee outside.”

“What? Really? Oh, fuck, really?” Stiles’ arms curled around his lover’s shoulders to smash as many kisses as he
possibly could against that bearded jawline and cheekbone, mindful of the little creature between them, “You’re the best! I knew you’d like her, she’s a total sweetheart! I already have like, one hundred pictures on my camera roll—”
That& #39;s it, that& #39;s the thread!
