Stiles had worked at the Diner on the edge of Beacon Hills for about two years now and knew the regulars. Laura Hale being one of those regulars. So when she walked in on Monday morning for her breakfast, Stiles wasn't surprised. It was who she was with that did surprise him though. Derek Hale had never been in the Diner in the time Stiles had worked here, at least not when he was on shift anyway. Laura and Derek Hale were very different – Laura Hale was very outgoing and friendly whereas Derek Hale kept to himself. Stiles got on well with Laura and they had actually become quite good friends over the past few years, to the delight of Stiles. He enjoyed her company and looked forward to her coming in each morning. But this time Laura didn't take her usual place up at the counter, instead choosing one of the booths in the corner – Stiles figured this was because Derek was with her, and wouldn't want to have to socialise with anyone other than his sister. Laura had told Stiles how Derek was actually great and real caring with her, but Stiles was yet to believe her. It was a shame really because Derek Hale was most probably the hottest man to walk the earth and Stiles would definitely be crushing on him if it weren't for his crappy attitude. So this morning, Stiles knew he had to face Derek and Laura for their order and made his way over praying that Derek wouldn't bite his head off.

'Hey chick, how are you this fine morning?' Stiles asked Laura, trying to sound as casual as he usually was with her. He filled up her cup with her regular coffee that she always drank and smiled down at her before turning to face Derek.

'Coffee?' He asked, and poured when Derek nodded.

'I'm great babe, can you do us two bacon sandwiches please Stiles?' Laura asked before taking a sip of her coffee and trying to hold back the cry of pleasure that always threatened to come out when she had her coffee here at the diner. It was the best coffee Laura had tasted in her life and that's one of the main reasons she came into the diner every morning before work. That, and the amazing company that is Stiles Stillinski. She really thought of Stiles as a friend now, and looked forward to seeing him each day.

'Sure thing, coming right up!' Stiles grinned at Laura before heading back over to the counter to put in her order. Usually Laura would sit up front and chat with Stiles as he worked, but given that she had Derek with her, Stiles forgave her for abandoning her duties this one morning.

'Chick? Babe? Really?' Derek asked with a sarcastic tone to his voice as he looked at his sister. 'You two dating or something?'

'Stiles and I? Dating? Hahaha. No Derek, I am not dating Stiles. He's actually a very good friend of mine'. Laura loved how protective Derek was over her but it was also hilarious to watch.

Derek didn't answer with anything other than a growl.

'So, how's the coffee bro?' Laura asked, knowing that Derek was going to love it just as much as she.

'It's ok'. He replied, taking another sip.

'Just ok? Ha, Derek you've drank most of it before I've even drank half of mine – you definitely love it!'

'I was in need of a caffeine fix'. Derek lied. The coffee was actually as amazing as Laura had promised, he just didn't want to give her the satisfaction of being right. He never knew coffee could be so mouth-wateringly good.

'Sure bro, whatever you say'.

Stiles was trying not to look over at the Hales too much but he couldn't stop himself. He could actually see Derek Hale smiling, which was not something he ever thought he would see in his lifetime. When their bacon was ready, Stiles had to breathe so he didn't make an ass of himself in front of them both.

'Two bacon sandwiches here!' Stiles grinned as if he were bearing a new child or something. When he noticed Dereks coffee empty he was even happier. Nobody drank the coffee faster than Laura Hale. 'More coffee?' He asked.

'Leave a pot could you babe?' Laura winked up at Stiles.

'Sure thing chick'. Stiles answered before turning away to get their coffee.

The rest of the morning went by as normal after Laura and Derek left. Stiles was itching for his shift to end so he could go do his babysitting duties for his best friend Scott and wife Alison. Stiles had been made godfather to their baby Ethan and had fallen in love with him the second he'd laid eyes on him. At the age of 20, they had gotten married after being together for 4 years and baby Ethan came a year later. Stiles thought it was strange at first, being a godfather to his best friends baby at the age of 21 but now he doesn't even think twice about it. Ethan was already two years old and Stiles still couldn't get enough of him. He babysits every Monday evening for their date night and any other time they need helping out. Laura comes by sometimes because she was also growing fond of Ethan – and she was amazing with him. Stiles sometimes wished he wasn't gay so he could get with Laura and have children with her because she would be an awesome mam. Stiles was going to be babysitting Ethan all afternoon instead of just the evening as Scott and Alison needed to be out of town for some work thing. But Stiles didn't mind, it's not like he had anything else planned anyway.
