@ dead upon arrival
Stiles took his hands out of his pockets to give the sales clerk a small wave as he thanked them for choosing that specific hardware store, yadda yadda, not really anything more important since Derek looked like he was ready to go with his body language. Stiles put his hands together, rubbing his palms, eyes drifting closed as he remembered the last time he'd had these tacos three years ago on a pre-college-we-survived-high-school trip with Scott, his dad and Melissa. He opened his eyes and walked forward out of the shop with Derek towards the car again and nodded, "Boy, am I ready," Stiles affirmed, with his stomach giving a little grumble just at the mention and the thought. It had been a while since brunch, after all.
"The place is close by - we can leave the car parked at the restaurant after we eat and then walk over to the gallery since it's a short distance? And I'm not sure how good parking would be close to the gallery," Stiles remarked, although he only knew the name of the gallery and place from Derek's phone messages with Cora. Stiles walked up to the Camaro and waited for Derek to get in before giving him the brief directions to the taco places. He motioned when to make a left while they were driving the short distance, legs bouncing up and down excitedly as they got closer. "C'mon, that's it over there," Stiles said, excitedly, yanking his seat belt off and waiting for Derek to park the car in the one empty spot that was available before hopping out the car. "Ready?" Stiles asked, flashing a toothy grin at Derek. The place kind of looked easily passable if you didn't know what it was inside, but the simple exterior and red light up sign outside was appealing to Stiles. The inside was well decorated with black and white vintage photographs, political news clips, and traditional music playing in the background on a record player, and when they got to the door, Stiles held the door open for Derek, grinning cheekily before pointing at one of the tables by the back corner.
