“I like you —”

That accidental confession was all it took to break Derek into a smirk. Sure, Derek was practically obsessed with you (which Peter could vouch for), but that didn’t mean he couldn’t have some fun.

“Oh, so you like me?” He started to get a cocky tone. He knew you didn’t exactly like ‘cocky’ guys, so he didn’t go over the top. But man, it gave his ego a huge boost. To know his long-term crush had accidentally admitted their feelings for him… he couldn’t help but be a tease.
