Humor Quote by Tylerfucklin
““Derek turned to face Stiles, his expression falling into a very familiar stare of utter disgruntled bitchiness. "Would you like more water?"

It was almost disturbing how Derek was able to stare back at Stiles without blinking once. "I have beer," he said slowly, cautiously. Stiles narrowed his eyes, echoing the tone of Derek's voice, "...harder." "… pudding?" Derek ventured, as if pudding was actually a viable option when Stiles was demanding something harder than beer.””
