When Stiles ran into Derek the first time it was just in passing, a brief bumping into one another at the store. The second time was at a restaurant, Stiles had been out with Scott when he saw a good looking guy across the way. The third time was at the Beacon Hills annual Christmas bash thrown at the mayor's house. Stiles had been properly introduced and learned his name. He'd flirted shamelessly, which had only seemed to make Derek uncomfortable. After that he showed up here and there at different events around town. The March fair, Lydia's birthday party, Fall festival... Each time Stiles had tried to flirt just enough to show he was interested, but not too much to make Derek as uncomfortable as last time. Finally, Stiles got the hint and stopped trying. Derek just wasn't interested. Shortly after that he found out why Derek wasn't interested, he was dating Lydia. How he missed it before he didn't know, but the two of them were inseparable. They showed up at events together and left together. Lydia would press kisses to Derek's cheek and Derek would put his arm around the redhead at random. These were all things couples did. So, Stiles gave up. Lydia was a great girl, Derek was in good hands at least.

Yet here he was now at Scott's mom's wedding, several drinks in and flirting with Derek.

Derek was leaned against the bar watching Lydia dance with the other guests. Stiles upon seeing him, promptly made his way towards the gorgeous man.

"Hey, Derek," Stiles smiled widely as he stepped up next to the bar.

"Stiles, hey," Derek gave a small smile.

"You look dashing in that suit," Stiles' eyes roamed Derek's body carefully.

"Uh, thanks," Derek cleared his throat, glancing at the dance floor.

"Great party, huh?"

Derek only nodded not taking his eyes off the dancers.

"Can I tell you a secret?" Stiles stepped in closer to Derek and leaned forward just a bit, "Melissa said no the first time Chris asked her to marry him cause she was worried Scott would be upset. I'm the one who convinced her to say yes," Stiles grinned.

"Really?" Derek quirked a brow.

"Scott isn't ever going to approve of anyone for his mom, but I told her he would get used to the idea when he saw how confident and happy she was. I was right," Stiles answered smugly.

"That was really nice of you," Derek gave a small smile.

"Well between you and I, I hate Scott's dad and wanted to see the look on his face when he found out Melissa was getting married," Stiles had leaned in again. He was slowly stepping closer to Derek throughout their conversation.

"Was it worth it?" Derek asked, raising his brows.

"Extremely," Stiles nodded.

Derek let out a small laugh.

"You have a beautiful smile," Stiles blurted.

Derek's smile grew at the compliment.

It was then that Stiles noticed Lydia watching them. Stiles took a full step back, "It was nice seeing you again," Stiles gave a curt nod. Before Derek could respond Stiles was walking off.

He stalked straight over to Danny and grabbed his hand, "Dance with me," Stiles demanded in a hushed tone.

"What, why?" Danny asked setting his cup down quickly, before Stiles could drag him away from his table.

"I just need a distraction for a minute," Stiles said quickly pulling Danny in close.

After two songs Stiles let Danny go free. That was enough of a distraction to make it look like he wasn't interested in Derek, however he knew he was so he opted for another drink as an extra distraction.
