This perfectly shows the push pull of Derek and Stiles - their reluctance, their resistance, their inevitable feelings that form despite the deflection and denial.

How do you say something was exceedingly smart and witty and captures our beloved guys in a comforting but still refreshing way?? Through a series of events Stiles grudgingly comes to realize some things; Derek is humanized not idolized. Every tidbit of info that Stiles learns about him gets emblazoned in his brain. He can't let it go and it infuriates him.

Derek's pathos is especially severe and the self loathing is extreme here. God forbid though that either one of them admits to having feelings - feelings other than exasperation, annoyance, anger, and frustration.

As always and thankfully, these boys do pull their head out of their asses - eventually. If only we could have witnessed that first coming together and ultimately, them reuniting and making up. THAT would have been the extra icing on a cake that was already fabulous.
