Stiles had knelt, but his smart mouth cancelled out any good will the move had engendered. However, instead of getting pissed, Derek huffed out a bitter laugh, defeated. "I'm an idiot," he repeated, sadly. To have fallen for a wild human. To have put his heart on the line to have it rejected again. To believe that all they needed was time. And now, after everything the boy had put him through, Stiles was angry at Derek for not trusting him.
It was like a plot out of one of those trashy romance novels Clara read.
