Summary
For Prompt #51:
When Draco gets fired, he reluctantly agrees to break up a girl’s relationship for her disapproving mother. Through word of mouth, the one-time gig turns him into a professional Matchbreaker, however he winds up falling for one of his clients and must somehow balance his secret job and love life.[excerpt]:
“So who is it? The Curse-breaker and the Veela? The head of the Department of Magical Transportation?” Draco’s eyes lit up. “The Dragon-tamer?” Now that particular Weasley could be fun.“No. It’s Harry,” Hermione said, the name exploding out of her in a rush.
Draco blinked, stunned into silence.
“Harry,” he said, after he recovered his faculties. “You want me to break up Harry and the Weaselette?!"

Summary
Derek looks at him like he’s a complete idiot.
“You’re a complete idiot,” Derek growls.
Good to know Stiles is still well versed in deciphering Derek’s facial expressions.
“Don’t talk to me like that. You don’t get to just act like Mr Alpha badass whenever it suits you, controlling me like I’m sixteen again. I can do what I like, see who I like, fuck whoever...” and Stiles doesn’t get to finish that sentence because he’s being shoved back into the door.
His head bangs softly against it and Derek is far too close to him. Stiles can feel his breath on his face.
Stiles licks his lips nervously and the way Derek’s eyes follow the movement makes him feel exposed. Stiles shudders.
He pokes Derek in the chest.
“Bad wolf. Der, I need... I need some space to get... to get over... just to find where I fit, now I’m back here for good,” Stiles says.
“I know where you goddamn fit,” Derek growls.
