Love From the Linden Trees

aggressivefrowning:

fic where after laura died derek started using her makeup as a way to still feel close to her but also because he honestly enjoys it

one day while he’s applying it scott shows up and derek yells at him to leave and starts trying to wipe the evidence away because he knows how everyone sees him and he doesn’t want to explain he doesn’t even know if he can

scott pulls derek’s hands away from where he’s violently scrubbing his eyes and helps him clean up the smudged makeup and asks him if it’s okay if he re-applies it

derek is surprised but nods and watches scott reach for his makeup kit quietly wondering if scott even knows what to do with it

scott chooses the blush first and gently applies it on derek’s cheeks and explains that he sometimes does his mom’s make up and that he first started after he stopped living with his dad as a way to become closer to her

derek paints scott’s lips red with this own
