Two of a Kind

Get lucky

Derek laid on his bed with Erica curled into his chest. The credits to the movie they'd just finished, rolled across the screen of Derek's laptop.

"Soooo which one do you like?" Erica asked not moving from Derek's chest.

"Well the first hobbit was good, but I probably like the seconds one better," Derek hummed thoughtfully.

"No, you dork," Erica laughed sitting up, "Not the movies, the twins."

Derek raised a brow at his best friend.

"Oh come on, I know you like one, so which is it?" Erica nudged Derek's knee with her foot.

Derek sighed, "I'm trying not to like either one."

"I figured as much. You're no fun," The blonde whined.

"You know I don't do well with relationships. It's easier to just stay single," Derek closed his laptop, setting it aside.

"Okay so then just hook up with one of them."

Derek looked at his friend incredulously.

"Yeah, yeah, I know that's not your speed," Erica mocked with a roll of her eyes, "Which one would you date, if you were to date one?"

Derek ran a hand over his face, "I thought it would be Spencer, but now I'm not so sure," Derek admitted. He hated even admitting he was attracted to the twins.

"Really?" Erica hummed thoughtfully.

"You seem surprised."

"I can never tell what your type is. You either go for the eccentric flirty ones or the sweet quiet ones," Erica shrugged.

"And yet neither has worked out for me," Derek huffed. It was true, Paige had been the quiet one who decided school was more important. Kate had been the loud eccentric one that made Derek feel bad about himself. Jennifer had been the quiet one who slept with their Chemistry teacher in order to pass. Evan had been outgoing and partied a little too hard for Derek's taste. Then there was Elijah, he'd also been the quiet one, but also the most painful.

Before Erica could respond the door opened to Stiles and Spencer.

"I can't go as you, he'll know," Spencer huffed with Stiles on his heels.

"I really just think he got lucky, come on, please?" Stiles begged, dropping his bag on his bed.

"Oh good, Erica and Derek are here. They'll agree with me," Spencer gestured to the pair on Derek's bed.

"Agree with you about what?" Erica asked eagerly.

"Theo invited Stiles to dinner," Spencer grinned proudly at his brother.

"And stole my phone and agreed," Stiles huffed, glaring at his twin.

"He wants me to go in his place. I think he should go," Spencer crossed his arms over his chest.

"Why don't you want to go?" Erica asked with a tilt of her head.

"Cause I know how it's gonna go, and I know how he is. I'm fine with being friends with him, but he's really not my type," Stiles slumped down into his computer chair.

"So maybe reschedule for a coffee date," Derek shrugged.

"No, Theo really likes you, give him a chance," Spencer whined.

"What is your deal with trying to get me to date someone? First Kai and now Theo," Stiles threw his hands up.

"Bro, Kai is hot. But Theo likes you, like really likes you. He could tell us apart," Spencer waved his hands around in excitement.

"I'm telling you, he got lucky."

"Now you could get lucky," Spencer winked at his brother who rolled his eyes.

"Or you could get lucky for me," Stiles looked at Spencer with hopeful eyes.

Derek couldn't help but frown. He couldn't decide if he was more unhappy that Stiles might be going out with Theo or that Spencer might give in and go out with Theo.

"What do you guys think?" Spencer turned to Erica and Derek.

"I think if Spencer goes and Theo wasn't just guessing then it'll be a huge slap in the face to Theo," Erica pointed out.

"And I think if you don't want to go, then you shouldn't," Derek added looking at Stiles.

"Erica is right," Spencer gestured to the blonde.

"If I go, will you leave me alone about it?" Stiles huffed, swiveling his chair to face his brother.

"Yes," Spencer nodded enthusiastically.

"Fine, one dinner," Stiles gave in. He'd just have to make it clear that he was only interested in being friends. In fact, he had an idea.

-

Stiles knocked on Kai's door anxiously. He couldn't believe he was actually doing this.

"Well hello, gorgeous," Kai grinned when he opened the door, "Which one are you? I'd hate to mix you up," Kai glanced behind Stiles as if to see the other twin.

"Stiles."

"Ooh my favorite one," Kai winked.

Stiles had to refrain from rolling his eyes.

"I uh, was actually wondering if you could do me a favor," Stiles bit his lip as he waited for Kai to respond.

"Gladly."

"So I have a, uh, date... sorta," Stiles shifted from one foot to the other.

"Ooh, ouch," Kai clutched at his chest dramatically.

"My brother kind of backed me into a corner. I don't want to me a dick to this guy. He's a good friend, but..."

"Not boyfriend material?" Kai finished.

"Something like that," Stiles nodded. He still couldn't believe he was doing this. Spencer would kill him if he knew.

"So where do I come in?"

"I was wondering if you would crash the date, gently," Stiles held his breath as he waited.

"Absolutely," Kai grinned mischievously.

"Just run in to me "accidentally" and pretend to be interested."

"No pretending necessary," Kai gave a flirty smile.

"I owe you one," Stiles leaned in and pressed a kiss to Kai's cheek. He shoved his hands in his jeans before turning away.

"I'll let you know the details later," Stiles said glancing over his shoulder.

Kai was grinning from ear to ear.

"Can't wait."

Stiles wished he could say the same, but he was honestly dreading this date. But at least this way Kai knew he was seeing someone, sort of, and Theo would know he was talking to someone else. It kept both of them at bay.
