More Fake Boyfriend Derek Hale

For reasons, Scott asks Derek, who goes to the same school but has almost no classes with them, to pretend to date Stiles. Derek does a lot of it without ever even being in the same room as Stiles.

So obviously most of the story is Derek being the perfect boyfriend without Stiles ever meeting him. He talks Stiles up to people, smiles and ducks his head bashfully when someone asks about him. Thanks to Lydia spreading the word and Derek's solid performance, people are hella jealous of how in love with Stiles Derek is.

Scott figures Derek can tell all these great stories about Stiles because he's been sitting behind Scott in History for the last few years and has probably heard Scott talk about him a lot.

And sure, that's true, but Derek Hale, star player of the BHHS baseball team, has been half in love with Stiles since the seventh grade, even when he had that dumb haircut, even though Stiles has literally never noticed him.

It's really a combination of what Laura calls his "A+ creeper skills" and the lottery of werewolf genetics that mean that Derek has heard lots about Stiles. He can't help tuning in when he hears someone mention him. If baseball practice didn't get in the way, he'd probably be at lacrosse practice, watching Stiles charge the goal and run laps.

Instead he settles for going to the games whenever he can. Stiles doesn't get to play much, but it's easy to find him sitting on the bench and so far no one except his sisters has noticed that he's not really watching the games.
Derek tells anyone who will listen about how Stiles could really be a game-changer if Finstock let him on the field, and brags about how the only person with better grades is Lydia Martin, and smiles and gets distracted when anyone asks what exactly is so attractive about Stiles.

"Everything," he says whenever they snap him out of it.

Scott thinks he probably owes Derek big for this. Way to commit, Derek.
