There's a brief second of tense silence, as Derek looks down at Stiles'
hand on his arm, and Stiles waits for whatever happens next. Imagine his
surprise when instead of jerking away, or pushing Stiles off, instead he
just...agrees. And maybe it's Stiles' admittedly overactive imagination,
but Derek sounds a little more in control, a little less likely to be
shifting in the front seat of the Jeep. Which is good, because Stiles has
no idea how he'd explain that kind of damage to anyone.
His hand tightens just a little more on Derek's arm before falling away,
and both of them seem a little more in control after that point of contact.
He doesn't think about why. Maybe Derek just needed to be reminded that he
wasn't in this alone, even if Stiles isn't that much help. He's only human,
after all. Human and starving, as his stomach chooses this moment to chime
in loudly, gurgling loud enough to be clearly audible in the silence. He at
least has the good grace to look embarrassed. "So what's next?"
