[ Derek doesn't need werewolf senses to smell the sudden spike of apprehensive fear and hostility that rolls of Scott, and he can't exactly blame the kid. Not that he isn't slightly pleased...at least the message had been made clear last time. ]
I said I'm here to talk. [ Beat. ] With words. [ Not fists or kicks or anything of that sort. Not this time. ]
But unless you want to be difficult, I can always make you listen. [ Just try him. ]
[ Scott still looks apprehensive... but he also looks like he's willing to listen because the alternative sounds like another trip to the hospital. ]
Then talk. [ Scott sits on the end of his bed and folds his arms at Derek. ] And make it quick. [ Because Allison is waiting and he's wasting valuable make out time listening to you, Derek! ]
[ Let him have his moment, Derek. It's not like he has decent grades to be proud of. He hasn't looked this pleased with himself since... well, since he had sex with Allison. ]
No... but I'm not gonna apologize for not telling you, just like you're not gonna apologize for hurting me. [ And thus continues their dysfunctional relationship. ]
[ Derek just huffs quietly, though he seems okay with that. There's another thing, something that Isaac mentioned about Allison...
But maybe he'll just not bring that up this time, no, he'll wait and watch and see what happens. ]
Plan better next time. [ As in keep me informed or something like this might happen again. And yeah, never mind that it worked. It could have worked even better. ]
I think you were meant to say 'thank you, Scott'. [ But it came out wrong. Nice to know you suck at thank yous as well as apologies, Derek.
He gives a nod at Derek's words though. The happiness from knowing his plan is a success soon wears off though. He might look a lot older than he is in this moment. Tired. ] Did Isaac say whether everyone survives?
It's not every day Derek sees Scott look as tired as he does right then but there's no comment on that from him. ]
He only said Gerard is dead. [ And since Isaac is clearly alive himself, there's no one else left for him to care about. Not with Erica and Boyd having left the pack. ]
[ Dead. He can't help but feel bad, even if Gerard deserved it, even if he was sick and dying anyway. Scott helped destroy a life... Doesn't that make him a killer now? The one thing he swore he'd never be? ]
There was no other way... [ It sounds like he's talking to himself rather than to Derek, trying to convince himself that what he did was the right thing.
Honestly Derek, it wouldn't kill you to give him a pat him on the back. Be a good brother figure, or father figure, whatever floats your boat.
Or you can just stand there and blend in with the furniture. ]
[ Furniture. Blend in with the furniture definitely, thanks. ]
You should be pleased. [ He is for one, even if he doesn't look it at all. Seeing is believing, and as much as he trusts Isaac's word, he wants to see it all play out for himself. But the thought of Gerard Argent being gone... It's a good one.
For a moment he looks like he might say something more but...yeah, just gonna be silent here. And stare. Maybe judge a little. ]
I am. [ Well, relieved is probably a better word. ] It's just... [ Allison. The girl who is the root of all Derek's Scott-related problems. ] I helped kill my girlfriend's grandfather. [ He lets that sink in for a moment. Granted, Allison and Gerard were never that close, not to mention the guy was a dick. But still. It's kind of a big deal killing a family member of someone you love. ]
What if Allison hates me? [ Oh god, he can feel himself having a panic attack at the idea. Where's his inhaler?! Better yet, where's Stiles to calm him down? ] What if she never talks to me again?
( action ) kjfndkjsnfkdj lmao scott not the right person to freak out on
[ At this rate Scott is going to force Derek to become furniture just to avoid having to deal with this. But honestly, he knows Scott is a dumbass, that's been proved to him one too many times, but it's almost incredible to see how the teen's thought process works, jumping from one ridiculous thing to the next.
Really should get that head of yours checked out, Scott. ]
One less problem in your life if she doesn't. [ It's mostly growled to himself as he eyes the door. And really, who needs Stiles when you have Derek? ]
She's not a problem. Her family are the problem... [ He picks up the pillow he threw at Derek from the floor and hugs it to his chest. ] She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
[ Doesn't he want to make you throw up in your mouth a little? ]
[ So after escaping here Derek's going to claws his own ears off because he doesn't need to hear this. For now he's pretty stone-faced while making sure the distance between himself and the door becomes less and less.... ]
Best, right.
[ Hand firmly on the door knob, he only casts the quickest of looks at Scott as he pulls it open. Look at him, leaving like a normal person for once. ]
Try not to do anything stupid again. [ Because clearly it was Scott who messed up and not Derek...so be more careful from now on!! ]
[ He'll hit you with the door, how about that? But next time. For now he very much just leaves like an ordinary werewolf-person thing so no back flips or dramatic running on all fours.
He'll make up for the lack of cool exits next time though, no worries. ]

Isaac told me how it all ends back in Beacon Hills. [ With Gerard, with the Kanima. Here's the part Derek most hates admitting. ]
Your plan works.
( action )
...It does? [ Wait no, don't sound surprised, Scott. You knew it would work... except you didn't. There was always a risk that the plan might fail...
The fact that it didn't makes him smiles in relief though. He might even be proud of himself. ]
Then I guess you underestimated me, didn't you? [ He looks expectantly at Derek for an apology that will probably never come. ]
( action )
Also jesus christ, don't look so proud. Derek's expression might not change, but he's fighting really hard not to roll his eyes. ]
Would you have trusted me if I had told you that I had a plan which included working for the enemy without you knowing? [ l: ]
( action )
No... but I'm not gonna apologize for not telling you, just like you're not gonna apologize for hurting me. [ And thus continues their dysfunctional relationship. ]

( action )
Apology accepted. [ Not that Derek apologized, but something must have brought him here. Scott would like to think it was guilt. ]
Don't let the door hit you on your way out. [ Except his tone suggests that it wouldn't be such a bad thing if it happened, the cheeky little shit. ]
( action )
