stiles helping derek search for erica and boyd during the summer between season 2 and 3a is the only thing that makes sense.

• allison was in france the entire summer only having just recently returned.
• lydia occupied herself with various fuck ‘em and leave 'em boys to get over jackson
• scott was doing the be a better scott mccall program.
• isaac was looking for erica and boyd

and stiles was doing what?????????? exactly??????????

he and scott don’t seem to have spent a lot of time together since scott was doing summer school, working and self improvement.

but stiles? nothing is said.

except after the incident with the deer he immediately searches deer accident reports.

the sheriff seems quite fed up with him given his “oh god please go to school” comment so he’s probably been around the house a lot, probably doing research on various topics but he’s been behaving himself since stiles says his dad has nothing on him.

he is also the one to remind scott that derek’s been busy with looking for erica and boyd when scott wants to go talk to him about the tattoo saying “don’t you think derek has his hands full?”

since when is stiles on the defend derek committee? let alone leading it?

when scott and stiles are on the phone together after the bird attack and derek’s taking isaac to the hale house scott tells stiles to meet them at derek’s house.

stiles expresses both surprise and confusion at this probably in my estimation because stiles knows about and has been to the loft while scott has no idea the loft exists yet.

scott even asks derek after he hangs up with stiles if derek still lives there and derek says no that the county took the house.

and of course there’s the new familiarity between stiles and derek during the whole scene when derek blow torches scott’s tattoo.

the infamous forever long tracking stare.

they’re also casually loitering together waiting for scott to come to. love that for them.

but the most damning thing is how little stiles says when scott finds out about the alpha pack. stiles doesn’t complain about derek not telling them because stiles already knew.

derek never says it. he only mentions peter and isaac but he keeps throwing looks in stiles’s direction who is folding his arms and fidgeting.

there’s a little moment where scott asks “how do you deal with an alpha pack?” and derek responds with “with all the help i can get.”

it immediately cuts to stiles and scott raises his eyebrows with realization. he looks at stiles and stiles does a small little guilty head nod but they’re interrupted by isaac before he can say anything.

this whole moment is basically derek omitting stiles’s involvement but scott figures it out from context clues, derek’s terrible poker face and inability to not look at stiles.

he figures out that stiles was not only helping look for boyd and erica but also knew about the alpha pack and that he kept it from him.

those trust issues already be percolating. scott didn’t tell stiles about the gerard argent plan. stiles didn’t tell scott about helping derek over the summer.
