[Stiles definitely believes it. Things get rough. Then they get rougher. What if it's agony now and just hell later on? he'd asked Morrell. She'd told him to just keep going. It's what he's been doing ever since. Things have kept getting worse and not better since then, but he's still wading through the treacherous waters. He isn't going to stop, even if ultimately it isn't worth it personally. He has to keep going because of his friends. Because of his dad. Because of Dean.
He watches Dean's expression change back to a bright smile once more and he can't help but grin back at him.]
Dude. The Enterprise. [He laughs at the mention of repertoire of eyerolls. Yeah, that definitely sounds like someone he can get along with pretty well. He smirks at Dean's comment about being the big brother. It reminds him of Bucky's protectiveness of Steve. Of his own protectiveness of Scott. He's willing to bet, though, that Sam is about as protective of Dean as Steve is of Bucky and Scott is of Stiles. It's just how these relationships tend to work.]
Yeah, I will. And thanks for the vote of confidence. It helps.
