Derek thinks that might be it, but then Bitty mentions his current and undeniable happiness. He smiles, cheeks going a bit pink, and looks up at Bitty. It's clear to Derek just how much he's cared for here in Darrow. It's a little overwhelming sometimes, just how much he's grateful for it. Bitty has always been someone that he can count on, and though their relationship has gone through some confusing periods, maybe even some awkward ones, they've settled into this. Now Bitty is one of his very best friends, a crucial member of his pack.

"I am happy," Derek says, sounding a little surprised by the words. He smiles softly and looks up at Bitty. "It's not just because of Barry. He's a big part, sure. But I just-- I have a good life here. Good friends."
