Jack's Room, 33 Apocalypse Ave., Sunday Morning

[bitten_notshy]

After he got back to the island, Jack spent most of the day Saturday parked in front of intentionally bad TV. It was easier not to think about what had happened in Beacon Hills if he was staring at Kardashian Kleavage. He went to bed early, fell into a dreamless sleep.

Sunday had promised more of the same until he checked his school email and realized his midterms were during the coming week. He groaned and turned on his laptop. Werewolf angst could wait: Right now, he had to pull a half-decent paper on the Bayeaux tapestry together if he had any hope of passing the last class for his major.

Jack shrugged lightly. "If that was the standard, no one would ever have sex again."

"I'm not bringing you coffee again," Derek muttered.

"But you saved me from writing a midterm without it," Jack mock-complained. "You can't take that away."

He rubbed under his eyes. "All right. I don't think you'd hurt him. Or no worse than whoever he happened to date would, anyhow."

[justlurkinghere]

"I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm a little messed up," Derek said, accomplishing the perfect deadpan for it.

[bitten_notshy]

"But you hide it so well," Jack deadpanned right back -- though his wasn't quite as perfect as Derek's. "There are lots of messed up people in the world who have love. Why shouldn't you be one of them?"

[justlurkinghere]

Well, for one, he didn't think he deserved it. But that went without saying.

"Remind me of that when graduation happens," Derek said, moving to put a hand on Jack's shoulder in manly solidarity.

[bitten_notshy]

"Of course," Jack nodded seriously, before flashing a quick grin. "Should I remind you to buy lube, too?"

[justlurkinghere]

Derek flushed red at that. "I have--" NOPENOPENOPE. "--I hate you."

[bitten_notshy]

And probably he would hate Jack even more when he finished laughing.

"No, no, I'm glad to know that you're prepared," he said.

Derek rolled his eyes, hating his life so much. And not at all happy to have sibling teasings from Jack what.

"Have you met Stiles? He'll have plans and research."

[bitten_notshy]

"Anatomical diagrams and whatnot," Jack said, agreeing with the point. "...And now I feel like I should stop in and make sure he knows not everything on the internet is good advice."

[justlurkinghere]

"...I hope he does." Oh god, he really hoped Stiles knew better.

[bitten_notshy]

"Probably he does." Jack cleared his throat. "Please don't make me actually offer him sex advice."

[justlurkinghere]

And Derek flushed even worse at that. "Because this hasn't been awkward enough with his dad pointing out our feelings."

[bitten_notshy]

"It could be worse," Jack said, reaching for his coffee again. "His dad could be offering sex advice."
