[Dean is watching him, smile fading again, but Stiles is good, and it isn't as though there's anything there Dean particularly wants to see - even now, he's not exactly pleased to find he disturbs people for any reason. It's just that it's easier to keep people back if they don't trust you, and in his case? They shouldn't. Now, Dean considers putting up a token resistance to the named "punishment" but the fact of the matter is that it isn't really a punishment at all.

There's a couple reasons he's okay with it, and not a little to do with who he'd be close to if he accepts, and where he's likely to end up. He nods.]

Fine. That all? [Then Stiles' question, and the hunter lifts his chin slightly.] "Hoping?" Makes me sound a little twisted, doesn't it?

What makes you think I was considering punishment at all?
