You Should Have Knocked

So everyone has had this moment in their life, the one where they were so impatient or absentminded, they went flinging a door open when they really shouldn't have. Sometimes it's not your fault, how could you know your housemate and his girlfriend were having sex on the kitchen table!? Other times someone was in the bathroom and failed to close the door the whole way, again not your fault. Sometimes they put up several signs saying "Please don't enter, I'm very naked right now" and you just ignore them because who would have that many signs for that?

Anyway, that's this meme. You've just walked in on something you shouldn't have seen, and onto the rules and set-up.

Rules
A. Post with the standard Character/Fandom/Preferences set-up as is standard with memes nowadays. You are the one walking in on someone.
B. Someone responds by rolling 1-12 on the RNG and sets-up what the entry poster walks in on. You can also set-up a scene not on the list below, or cut the RNG short based on what you don't want to do.
C. Items 1-7 are easily G-rated unless you go out of your way to make them rated higher. 8-10 are more R-rated, but there is wiggle room for playing the crack and awkward up instead of making it smutty. 11 and 12 are kinda hard not to have a little bit smutty given the settings.
D. Tag around, have fun with it! The embarrassment will pass... in theory.

Prompts:

01. Talking to Yourself - Sometimes to work through a problem, you just have to talk it out. Or, in other instances, you need practice before you say something to someone. Whatever the case, you were in the middle of talking something out to yourself that you probably didn't want heard by the person who walked in on you. Oops.

02. Wearing an Embarrassing Outfit - Everyone has some bit of clothing they love but would be really awkward to be found in, ask J. Edgar Hoover! Be it drag, or cosplay, that hat your mother knit for you with her own two hands. The ugly sweater your girlfriend gave you, or a uniform for the Next Generation era Star Trek... your secret's out now.

03. Rocking Out - Everyone loves music, but sometimes you love music others won't understand. Or, you like music they'd understand, but your dancing leaves something to be desired. Or your dancing is fine if you would just stop air guitaring windmills on the bed. Whatever the case is, you've been spotted now.

04. Watching Something - Much like an embarrassing outfit, or awkward dancing, there's your guilty pleasure. Maybe you just have a love for action films, or you've gotten hooked on a soap opera, maybe you'll just watch any film with Nick Cage in it. Whatever it is, you're about to be judged by the entertainment you love. If you don't want to put a show here, you can replace it with reading a book, comic book, or any other bit of of non-music entertainment.

05. In the Middle of Something - Some people collect stamps, others little ceramic figurines, you might have a complete collection of beanie babies. Whatever your hobby, you keep it well out of sight of your friends because they just won't understand it. Better come up with a good explanation now.

06. It was Supposed to be a Surprise - You had something you were going to give your friend as soon as it was ready. Birthday gift, Christmas, anniversary? Maybe no reason at all, the point is you're working on it away from them and SURPRISE, there they are! Better hide the evidence now or come clean and explain what's going on.

07. On the Phone - Ever had an awkward phone call overheard from only your side. Well, it gets complicated sometimes when that happens. Could be a doctor, a parent, a college friend, whatever it is the topic sounds very awkward from only your side of the street. Cue 'that isn't what it sounds like' when you find your eavesdropper. Bonus points if you want something a little less G-rated, make it phone sex heard from only your side.

08. In a Racy Outfit - This isn't exactly an outfit embarrassing on its own, just they might not be the person you want to see you in a leopard print G-string. Or you're trying on the skimpiest of lingerie and inspecting yourself in the mirror. Whatever your pleasure, it's about to be shared with an audience. If you want to take things in a different direction, try setting the scene asleep in said outfit.

09. In no Outfit at All - The next door neighbor to the previous option, sometimes less is more. In this case, less clothing is more awkward. Maybe you're looking yourself over for new battle scars, you might be trying new sexy poses for the person you like, maybe you're getting in or out of the shower/bath. Or, like above, you could just like sleeping au natural. Either way, you're giving somebody an eyeful today.

10. Watching Something Else - Be it a raunchy sexcapade, something attempting to have a plot, an art film, or a home movie from that trip to Cancun. Some people like to watch smut. Of course, some people should lock their door when they do such things. Whatever your taste in brown paper bag theater, you're about to share it with the class. If you don't feel like going that way, you can be caught with a skin mag or some trashy smut novel instead.

11. In the Middle of Something Completely Different - Masturbation, its that thing everyone does but nobody talks about. You also definitely don't walk in on someone doing it. Well, too bad, you just did.

12. Was left Hanging - So you've just walked in on someone who was having some sort of kinky bondage episode... but their partner has left them there, all tied up and on the bed. Whatever will you do with this.

Stop. [He pulls back just a little at that, just so that Parrish will look him in the eye and see how serious Derek is when he says this.] You were doing your job. There was evidence linking Chris and me to that yakuza, so it would have been irresponsible for you not to bring us in as suspects. [Ignoring that the evidence was planted by a dark spirit, but...]

I'm not upset about that. Seriously, do you know how many times I've been suspected of murder in this town by now?

[drawnhere]

And every single time you've been innocent. That should tell this town something. [It should tell the police department something. It certainly told Parrish that Derek Hale is not a murderer, not a criminal. There's good in Derek.]

You are a good man and you can't hide it.

[feroces]

I may have been innocent, but it should still tell you something about me. I've been, at the very least, linked to those events in some way. Not every suspect you bring in is guilty, right? That doesn't reflect on you as a person. You're doing your job and keeping people safe. [And he's going to lean down and nip lightly at Parrish's lip now, because he did say that he'd bite.]

I'm trying to be a better man, but I'm still getting caught up in bad things.

[drawnhere]

I'll get you caught up in something good. [He means himself. He doesn't necessarily want to change Derek but he wants to help him figure out how to be a good person like he wants to be.] You'll figure it out, how to be better. Especially since you're trying.

[He smiles at the nip, just amused that he followed through with the 'threat'. There's still a lot of fun to be had here.] Keep that up and we're going back to my place.

[feroces]

I'm pretty sure you've already done that. [And while he knows what Parrish meant, Derek is going for a more romantic take on it. Parrish, in just a few hours, has become one of the best things in his life.

He nips again, but once Parrish smiles, Derek leans in to kiss him deeply.] If you're finished eating, we could already be on the way.

[drawnhere]

I'm done with breakfast. [That romantic streak of Derek's is really endearing. Parrish likes how it makes him feel and how it seems to make Derek happy as well.] Do you want to pay the bill and meet me at my place? I can give you my address.

[If he got home first he could let the dogs out, clean up a little and make sure things are neat enough that Derek doesn't think he's a slob.]

[feroces]

[Derek really can't help himself around Parrish. He makes Derek happy, and that says a lot.]

Yeah, go on ahead. After I wrap up here and get my car, I'll catch up. [Oh, there's no way he'd miss this for the world.]

[drawnhere]

[He writes his address and apartment number down on a napkin and tucks it in to Derek's jacket pocket. He doesn't want him to lose it.]

Then I'll see you at home. [Parrish gets one last kiss from Derek before he gets up and heads for his car. Every inch of his radiates excitement and anticipation.]

[feroces]

I'll See you soon. [He smiles after the kiss, watching as Parrish leaves, if only because that's a sight he's never going to be tired of seeing. He takes his time though before making his way to his car, wanting to give Parrish enough time to clean up or do whatever he thinks he needs to do to get ready, even though Derek doesn't need him to go out of his way or anything. They'd be spending a lot of time together, he hoped, so he'd probably see the mess eventually.

That isn't to say that he takes forever head over there. He didn't want to wait too long and have Parrish fall asleep before he even gets there. He gives him about twenty minutes before he's knocking on the deputy's apartment door, buzzing with that same kind of excitement.]

[drawnhere]

[His dogs are very excited to have him home. Parrish lets them out into the apartment courtyard and lets them run around for a few minutes before bringing them back inside for their breakfast. He's not frantic about cleaning but he makes sure the bed is made.

A knock at the door makes his stomach swoop with excitement and the dogs bark until he told them to hush. He opens the door with a smile.] Hi, come on in. Don't mind the dogs, they're really friendly.

[They're already tripping over themselves to try and meet Derek, wiggling all over the place with excitement.]

[feroces]

[For a moment, when Parrish opens the door, Derek just stares for a moment staring at the guy who is now his boyfriend, like he's still having a hard time believing that he could get so lucky to be with a guy like the deputy. He's about to to step in closer and claim the deputy's lips...

But then he's being swarmed by the two puppies, and that pulls him back into the moment and he laughs a little, kneeling down to pet them and ruffle their fur. He's kind of relieved, honestly, since usually dogs bark and get upset when there's a werewolf around, but the dogs were sweethearts.]

Okay, you need to start with telling me the names of these adorable guys.

[drawnhere]

So, the one on the right is Fozzie and the other one is his brother Kermit. They're pure bred mutts and shed on everything.

[The dogs are long haired, looking like setters except they're too broad in the chest and shoulders. Clearly, they're a mixed breed of something.

Parrish is a little jealous of them right now though. They're getting all of Derek's attention and interrupted getting a kiss. Derek had clearly telegraphed that intent.]

I think you're their new favorite person.

[feroces]

Muppets, huh? [Yes, Derek did have a childhood and knows some things. Plus, who doesn't love the Muppets?

And Derek has decided that he likes these dogs, mostly because they just don't seem to care that he smells like a predator or whatever, and instead of growling at him or hiding, they're actually being affectionate and falling all over themselves and Derek.

He didn't come to see the dogs though, not really. So eventually he does get back up, and that's when he makes up for being interrupted a few minutes ago, putting his arm around Parrish's waist and pulling him in for a slow kiss.]

[drawnhere]

I might, secretly, have an extensive knowledge of pop culture.

[His dogs are good judges of character. He's glad to see they really like Derek. He would've been worried if they had run in fear or started barking. They're good dogs and that's not typical of them.

He wraps his arms around Derek's neck and meets him halfway for the kiss. It's warm and slow, heating his blood with comfortable interest. They could kiss like this for awhile and Parrish would be content, very content.]

[feroces]

So this is another clue into the big mystery that is Michael Parrish.

[He smiles a little before leaning into another kiss. He could do this all day, honestly... Well, probably not realistically, but it's slow, and gentle, but just enough to make Derek's blood run hot and want more without the urgency or demanding way that he's normally used to. He could easily get addicted to Parrish's lips and tongue.]

And, for the record, your dogs are crazy if I'm their new favorite person, since you're mine.

[drawnhere]

I wouldn't call it a big mystery.

[There's no denying how good it feels to be held and kissed like this. He likes the frantic rush but they did that in the gym. He wants things to build slower this time so he can enjoy how it feels.]

Their new favorite person is whoever pets them. They're not picky.

[feroces]

I would, but that's because I want to know everything about you. [The good and the bad... Hopefully more of the good, or at least not as bad as his past relationships. Not that he's worried about that. He's just... waiting for the big stuff to come out, that isn't so easy to deal with, just like the fact that Derek is a werewolf]

They don't hate me, so I'm calling it a win. It'd be awkward if your roommates didn't like me.

[drawnhere]

That's going to take you awhile then. [Parrish only has one thing he'd consider a big secret, his family's heritage of witchcraft but that doesn't have to come out right now. Right now, they can learn all the small stuff and work up to something real before the bombshells get dropped.]

Don't worry about it. I like you.

[feroces]

Good thing we have time. [Derek has a few, but what he is and his family legacy is the big one too. He just doesn't know how long he should wait to tell Parrish. He doesn't want to at all, really, but he knows better than to just tell people. At the same time though, if he waits too long and Parrish can't deal with it... Yeah, that won't be easy either. He's tempted to just... Flash is eyes quickly, or scent Parrish a bit too obviously like when he was a kid, just to see if Parrish picks up on it.]

I like you too. [Which should be pretty obvious when Derek can't keep from kissing him for more than a few seconds.] So, do I get a tour?

[drawnhere]

Yeah, you can have a tour. [He laughs a little as he draws away from Derek's arms with some reluctance but he takes a hold of his hand to show him around.]

This is the living room. [It has a TV, a couch and some arm chairs along with bookshelves, all very typical looking. He moves them to the kitchen next which is perfectly neat and orderly, nothing out of place and a very subtle altar set up in the kitchen window that looks mostly like a collection of flowers, stones and knickknacks.] The kitchen, the one room without dog hair on every surface only because it can't stick to anything.

[feroces]

[Derek is reluctant to let Parrish go too, but the hand holding is just as good, and even as they walk, he stays close to the deputy, brushing against him whenever possible, just simple, little touches as he follows along, taking note of everything.

If he notices anything about the altar, which he does notice just because of how orderly the kitchen is, and the altar is something different, it's just the flowers that are collected there. Along with the tattoos, Derek is sensing a trend. Not leading to witch or anything, since Derek doesn't really have experience with them, but...]

So, I'm assuming that you're a guy who I can buy flowers for.

[drawnhere]

Alright, yes, I like flowers.

[If he was able to have a garden he would have one but his apartment doesn't allow for that and their are landscapers who take care of the plants outside.]

They brighten things up.

[The only reason he doesn't have flowers on his desk is that he hasn't found the right flowers to bring in. The atmosphere changes every day there.]

[feroces]

I'm not giving you a hard time.

[Really, Derek wasn't like Parrish's division in the Army. If anything, the admission only endears the wolf to him even more. They're a good symbol for Parrish, Derek thinks. They're beautiful and resilient... And smell good, but that's more for Derek to keep to himself.]

What are your favorite kinds? You don't seem like a dozen red roses kind of guy, honestly. [Parrish might get them anyway unless he clears that up now, though. Derek could definitely do big grand gestures for Parrish.]

[drawnhere]

Roses are good for the right occasion but sprig roses or wild roses I like better than the big bulbs you see at the florist. They're more natural. [He's glad Derek isn't going to tease him about it. He's had lovers who have and it's always ended the relationship. He won't put up with someone who judges based on stereotypes.]

I like whatever is in season or growing outside. Tulips are always nice or daisies. I had a girlfriend give me nightshade once without knowing what it was just because it grew near her work. She didn't appreciate me laughing about it.

[feroces]

[Parrish didn't tease Derek about his love of cheesy romance movies, so he's definitely not going to make fun of a guy who liked flowers. That'd be like picking a fight with the druids, which is one that most wolves don't win. And considering two of his major weaknesses have flowers... Derek knows better than to think little of them.] I'll have to pick you some while we're out running.

And I can see that. I knew a girl who kept wolfsbane around because she thought the flowers were pretty. [And because they made nice bullets... And he's not completely honest with that story, but he's trying to drop a few hints, just to see how Parrish reacts.]
