Chili Dreams

[Sterekdrabbles challenge for 01/21/19: “save, green, panic,” with week’s theme: food.]

On AO3. 

“Heeelp! Somebody save me!” Stiles screamed as another monster wave carried him dizzyingly to its peak.

In the black sky overhead lightning streaked without let-up, each bolt illuminating the sea’s murky green, only that. Nothing else to be seen.

Suddenly shaken, he opened his eyes to Derek’s face, felt his panic draining away like pain at Derek’s supernatural touch.

“Still think chili fries are the right choice before bedtime?” Derek asked.

Warm, not wet, not drowning, “Mmm,” Stiles hummed. “They were so tasty! Now I want some more!”

“Stiles, no!” Derek shouted, dashing out of bed after his stupid husband.

Piece of Cake

On AO3.

“Save some for the rest of us!” the Sheriff chided as Stiles cut an enormous slice of cake from a towering confection coated in green frosting and snowy coconut shreds.

“Don’t panic, Dad.” Stiles sliced a significantly more slender piece and lay it on a plate he handed to his father. “There. All for you!”

“Gee, thanks, son,” the Sheriff groused. “Thought I’d raised you to put others before yourself, especially loved ones.”

“You did, Dad. You did exactly that!”

Stiles lifted the plate bearing the huge piece of cake and set it down in front of a surprised Derek.
