A Gentleman's Agreement [Sterek/Teen Wolf]

Chapter 1

Stiles and Derek have an agreement, a gentleman's agreement, if you will. And it's actually worked out quite nicely, on multiple occasions, in fact.

The agreement being that if the situation should arise where it would be necessary to have a significant other close by, they would step in and pretend to be that significant other.

It's gotten them out of many sticky and/or awkward predicaments, and above that, it's nice to have someone he can count on to do that with.

He used to have Scott, and he still does in a way. Only not really since he lives freakin' forever away and refused to go to college outside of the state of California, unlike Stiles who couldn't wait to live some place where it snowed and where the citizens had only heard about In N Out on TV if at all. Stiles is not bitter about not having his best friend with him. He's not.

Because he has Derek. Which is a weird thing he never thought he'd actually get a warm fuzzy feeling about when he said it. He tries not to let the feeling dwell though because he doesn't want to upset the delicate balance and agreement they have with one another.
