stiles adopting werewolf mannerisms ahhhhh im going crazy..... being obsessed with derek's scent because it grounds him and makes him feel safe..... always wanting to smell like derek despite not being able to smell it himself and understanding how much it means to derek.....
the thing is stiles could totally step in front of derek raging, shifted, mid-attack, and say "look at me. this isn't you. please stop, for me" and it'd totally workπ
And remember folks, Hoechlin said that the outtake from this scene originally had Stiles slapping Derek back in his chest, only for Derek to say βIβll be right backβ (to Peter and Scott) before chasing Stiles out of the loft.
stiles being a certified damsel in distress simply because he's so lovable and all the supernatural creatures want him....... he can be walking down the street and get snatched by something that wants him as its mate and the pack is so sick of it
