Otherwise Engaged

[Sterekdrabbles challenge for 01/28/19: “lead, silver, tap”]

On AO3.

Stiles rubbed his thumb over the ring, his thoughts leading him into the future.

“Son, what are you doing?”

“Sorry, Dad.” Stiles held up his hand and tapped the silvery object on his finger. “It’s distracting.”

“Yes. Well, congratulations again, but you’re on the job.”

“Um, that’s actually why I came in. Derek’s meeting me for lunch.”

“Are either of you doing your actual jobs today?”

Stiles wouldn’t remind his father he’d been young and in love once. It was too happy a day for a reminder like that.

“Probably not!” Stiles cheered, saluting before running out of the office.
