Stiles puts down his phone after that in an attempt to avoid saying anything more awkward.
In the twenty minutes before Derek shows up, he considers changing his clothes about four times but doesn’t - he doesn’t want to seem overeager. So instead he brushes his teeth three separate times, puts on deodorant twice and sprays himself with a little cologne. He then changes his shirt because he figures it will smell too strongly of cologne. And then he can’t pick a shirt. Not that any of his shirts are particularly spectacular, they’re just t-shirts.
After about five minutes of debating over shirts, he looks out the window to see the Camaro pulling up out front. He unceremoniously grabs a gray t-shirt and yanks it on over his head then crashes down the stairs and opens the front door just as Derek raises his hand to knock. Derek smiles and Stiles can’t help but think that Isaac is completely wrong - Derek is ridiculously attractive when he smiles, when he’s happy, he’s even more ridiculously attractive than usual.
“Hi,” Stiles says and he’s nervous, so his voice comes out unintentionally high pitched.
Derek clears his throat and swallows. “Hey.”
“So...” Stiles says aimlessly and points at the camaro.
“Right,” Derek says.
Stiles turns, starts walking towards the car and exactly three-point-five seconds later, starts falling forward, tripping over his own shoelaces. His face is inches from the ground when Derek grabs his hand and jerks him back so he’s standing.
A few seconds pass and Derek’s hand is still on his wrist and they both sort of start staring at it. Derek is about to remove his hand when Stiles smashes his other hand down on top of Derek’s. “Don’t,” he says. Then he smiles and leads Derek back into the house.

They don’t make it to dinner.
