Au where Stiles goes to college in New
York. It’s 8AM and it’s now officially been more than 37 hours since he last slept.
Finals are kicking his ass, hard.
So when Stiles exits the coffee ship he’s like
23% human, his brain is stuck on survival mode, and he’s clutching the biggest
coffee cup ever against his heart (the barista sent him worried look while adding all
the expresso shots).
Since his other hand is busy holding his
phone—Scott is having a new “love at first sight” crisis—Stiles has to open the
door of the cruiser with his hip. He sinks in the seat with a sigh, puts his
cup between his thighs, rubs his eyes, and explains once again to Scott the
concept of personal space and the thin line separating adorable and stalkerish.
When Scott only answer is a wailing, third description
of the girl’s hair, Stiles decides that the subject is doomed and hangs up. He drinks
some coffee again, humming in delight, and suddenly realizes how loud the
silence in the car is.
In the millisecond it takes him to turn his
head toward the driver, he realizes that, one, he doesn’t havea car in New York nor do any of his
friends and two, his dad will never let him forget it if he gets arrested for
trespassing on police property.
The third realization comes on the heels of
the first two, in the form of the hottest
man to ever wear a uniform. And Stiles has some references on the subject:
he has seen Parrish in a rain soaked uniform AND been invited to Lydia’s
bachelorette party.
The man has arms, shoulders and eyes that
Stiles is in no way alive enough to handle. Stiles won’t even think about the
fingers wrapped around the wheel or the frowning eyebrows. Or the fact that the
man politely waited for Stiles to finish his phone call.
“My dad is the sheriff,” blurts Stiles in
the silence. The man’s eyebrows get frownier. “…in Beacon Hills?”
The criminal in the back of the cruiser snorts
at Stiles. The man is in handcuff on the backseat and half-naked, with white
powder all over his face and an eye swollen shut, but he’s still clearly
judging Stiles’ entire life.
“Okay…” Answers should-be-a-stripper cop,
with a slow, calm voice that Stiles knows is the “keep the manic suspect from
going for a weapon” tone of voice.
“I am very tired,” finally adds Stiles when
the silence reaches critical awkwardness. The cop nods immediately, like it’s obvious, but his lips
are curling up a little. He’s absurdly beautiful.
There is a knock on Stiles’ window and they
all turn toward the policewoman staring at them from the sidewalk, two cups of
coffee in her hands. She’s smirking like a shark, heavy blond curls falling
over an “officer Reyes” badge.
“Derek?” She asks, a laugh in her
voice.
“He’s very tired,” explains simply
too-beautiful-not-to-be-a-caffeine-hallucination (Derek). When Stiles
turns toward him, the man is smiling, small but honest. Stiles may have to call
back Scott and apologize for scoffing at the “whole love at first sight” idea.
(Erica finally takes the cruiser back to the precinct, and leaves Derek to walk Stiles back to his
flat, for the good of the community. Just to be sure that Stiles doesn’t climb
in another stranger’s car or ends up falling in front of the subway. They drink
their coffees on the way, and talk about Stiles’ dad, and Stiles’ major, and Laura and Derek’s cat.
Derek calls the precinct to take a sick day five minutes
before reaching Stiles’ flat.
