Maybe Stiles should just man up and say to Derek Hey, Sourwolf, I think you’re hot-wanna fuck? Except that’s not all of it (inclusion of “Bad Touch” by the Bloodhound Gang notwithstanding).
It’s also I’ve got your back, from here to hell and back again.
Not to mention I could watch you care for your pack all day and did I mention all the Feels that gives me?
Sprinkle a few Ohmygod, if I had ovaries they’d be raging for you right now and I promise not to hurt you like she did on top and it might be getting close.
Stiles can’t even imagine trying to say that to his face, listening to him growl. Watching the way he closes off and walks away (which gives a fine view of a perfect ass, but still…).
So yeah. It is totally the coward’s way out
( ... )
Derek climbs in through the window of Stiles’s room that night. It takes him a moment to find the stereo in Stiles’s room (because really, why bother when everything’s digital these days?), but when he does, he slides a CD in without pushing play.
He sits on Stiles’s bed, while Stiles stays in the chair, twisting it idly back and forth, trying not to flush. Derek returned the CD. He doesn’t want it. Fuck.
“I get Lean on Me,” Derek says, voice low. “And I think I get Shadows of the Night. But Elvis?”
“He’s a classic, dude. And I couldn’t decide on one Beatles song, so I figured one Elvis song could cover the whole range of classics on its own.” Stiles doesn’t address the fact that the particular song is Can’t Help Falling in Love because yeah, he’s still feeling cowardly and trying to have the conversation without actually having the conversation.
Derek makes a small snort of a noise. “Felt like you had to immortalize getting your head shoved into a steering wheel?”
Is that what he got out of Here (in Your Arms)? Stiles is so
( ... )
NOTE: The music for these is in a playlist on Spotify, for which I will share the URL as soon as I switch computers. In the meantime... the track listings.
Dorky Heart Music (a mix by Stiles Stilinski)
1. “Lean on Me” - Club Nouveau 2. “Shadows of the Night” - Pat Benatar 3. “Can’t Help Falling in Love” - Elvis Presley 4. “Here (In Your Arms)” - Hellogoodbye 5. “The Story of Your Life” - We the Kings 6. “Animal” - Neon Trees 7. “ Bulletproof Heart” - My Chemical Romance 8. “You And Me” - Lifehouse 9. “It’s Gonna Be Me” - N’Sync 10. “Running From Lions” - All Time Low 11. “Be My Animal” - The Good Natured 12. “Hungry Like the Wolf” - Duran Duran 13. “The Bad Touch” - Bloodhound Gang 14. “I Will Always Love You” - Dolly Parton
Derek’s Response
1. “My Hero” - Foo Fighters 2. “When My Boy Walks Down the Street” - The Magnetic Fields 3. “Howl” - Florence + The Machine
If someone can tell me another place to construct this playlist online, I will happily do that (because I know Spotify isn't an option for everyone).
Also, as an editor's note, Stiles says that if you're going to go the completely dorky route and include "I Will Always Love You" on a Valentine's Day heartfelt mix, it has to be the Dolly Parton original, not the overplayed and overdivaed Whitney Houston version. I think he just wants to be unique.
...I am old enough to remember The Bodyguard as a new movie, being shown as second run at my school when I was in graduate school. It was a huge Thing for a while, but then it sort of faded.
I've also seen The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas which is where I fell in love with the original Dolly Parton song (and sobbed my heart out over it, because yeah, not a happy song there).
That's what I mean. Everyone remembers the song, like even know people know it, but most people now have no idea what the movie is about.
There's a movie called The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas? Okay, I feel like this is a thing I have to watch. Also, I don't think Dolly Parton's version of the song is happy at all. I think it's sad.
It's a musical, starring Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds and it's hysterically funny and kind of adorable. I love the music from it so much; it's one of my favorites. By the time you get to the end of it, and both the song "I WIll Always Love You" and "Hard Candy Christmas" your eyes ought to be misty.
Bonus points for an actual fanmix of this.

Also, Dolly Parton. Yes.

I have loved that song since before Whitney remade it for The Bodyguard. It is such a gorgeous song.
