Derek gives him a look at the question, because, really, the answer should be obvious. "You define trouble magnet," he elaborates, voice dry, just in case it isn't, though.
There's no missing the weight Stiles gives to the word, and Derek can't quite bite back an approving rumble. Can't keep from letting his hand brush against the nape if the boy's neck, the way his mother, and later Laura, had always done for him when they were pleased. "They might band together, if they even exist, but I doubt that family, that Pack, is important the way that it is to us." He doesn't correct himself this time, it just doesn't occur to him.
