[ Wait, that's not right. Stiles sighs heavily where he's leaning against his bed and frowns down at his device. It's kind of hard to type with his left hand - clearly he did not think this amazing plan through. He opts to switch to audio but misses, hits the video feed instead. ]

Fuck. [ He frowns down at his probably less than captive audience with a tired sigh. ] Oh, whatever. [ Swinging the device to show his right side - arm in a cast and sling. Awesome. ] Guys, guys. Don't ever, ever try to take a short cut in a blizzard. Just don't.

[ He's managed to survive a lot of things lately, he should have realised something dumb was about to happen. Werewolves, kanimas, lunatics who beat the shit out of people? Yeah he can do that. What he can't survive is slipping and falling on to his arm. He's such a superhero. ]

Who wants to feed me good drugs and sign my cast?

[He scowls]

And?

[studmuffin]

And you should probably make sure he doesn't have some serious latent abandonment issues.

[ Sigh. ]

[lupusalpha]

They're not latent.

[studmuffin]

Well, you should deal with them.

[ He probably smells like guilt. Funny that. ]

[lupusalpha]

What did you?

[studmuffin]

I told him the truth, okay?

[lupusalpha]

Which was?

[studmuffin]

That I'm not coming back.

[ Oh the floor is super interesting. ]

[lupusalpha]

[He's quiet for a moment]

He'll learn.

But you are the next in a long line of people who abandoned him.

[He doesn't say it with anything but a matter-of-fact tone]

[studmuffin]

[ Head snapping up. ]

Wow. Just wow. I don't remember signing up for this.

[lupusalpha]

[Shrug]

Doesn't matter, does it?

I'll talk to him.

[studmuffin]

[ Well. ]

Fine. Thanks for coming to check up on me. I'm fine, as you can see, so.

[lupusalpha]

You're not.

[That's a fact, there.]

The only reason you're not in pain right now is because of Oxycontin.

[studmuffin]

[ Huffing. ]

It's my new best friend!

[lupusalpha]

Come here.

[He opens his hand up]

[studmuffin]

I don't want to get addicted to you.

[ Wait, that was super fast and also sounded wrong. ] Because, y'know, pain relief.

[lupusalpha]

Stiles.

[There's not as much backbone to it]

Will you just let me do this?

[studmuffin]

Okay.

[ It comes out quiet as he takes the few steps towards Derek. ]

[lupusalpha]

[He takes Stiles' hand and holds on, and just looks him in the eye as he pulls the pain away, leaving only the slight euphoria]

[studmuffin]

Woah.

[ A stupid smile for a moment. ] Headrush.

[lupusalpha]

[He moves to catch him, quick]

All that's left is the pleasure.

[studmuffin]

That should be in my life more often.

[ Fingers of his uninjured hand curling in Derek's jacket for balance. ] Because that's like awesome.

[lupusalpha]

[He moves to set Stiles down on his bed]

You're right that it's addicting.

[studmuffin]

You'd be the worst drug dealer in the world anyway.

[ Sitting but still sort of looking up at him. ]

[lupusalpha]

[He moves, is about to put his hand on the top of Stiles' head, but stops himself, his hand in midair for an awkward moment]

You'll call me if you need me, right?
