Stiles waits for his body to react to that snarl, waits to feel scared or
intimidated or at the very least irritated, but...yeah, he's got nothing,
and that's probably the biggest indicator he has of just how much things
have changed between them. He doesn't think Derek will hurt him. That
doesn't mean he thinks Derek won't smack him upside the head, especially if
he deserves it, but...he's put too much effort into keeping Stiles safe.
The threats are just his way of covering.
So he just gives Derek a sideways look, not even dignifying the threat with
an answer. Besides, Derek himself is more interesting right now. Shoulders
hunched, eyes turned down, voice almost defensive--
"When it'll hurt someone, when it's totally useless, when it's annoying,
when it'll make him giggle. Take your pick. He's more bigass cat than
werewolf, a pain just because he can be. What did he tell you?" Because he
may not be a were-anything, but he can smell a secret, Derek, and you
should know his persistence by now.
