Derek doesn't watch while Stiles works out his meaning, but he can smell the change in his scent and he turns back in time to catch the look of surprise on the boy's face. It makes him wonder just what he'd thought before, though, how hard it is for him to believe that he matters to someone... and how the hell he managed to do something so stupid as to let a human become important to him. Stiles is, though, and considering the current threat it would be stupid not to make that clear... ish.
Derek's scowl deepens at the kid's repeated insistence that he has to go back, when all he wants is to get everyone the hell out of there and away from danger. There's no telling when the Alpha Pack will decide to make their move, and almost everyone in that house is associated him in some way. A valuable warning or hostage. "You'll dial my number into your phone before you leave, so all you need to do is hit one button to call me. And I'll be close by." Not close enough for the Alphas to hear or scent, which means not close enough for him to hear or scent Stiles, but at least close enough he can respond quickly.
