Derek doesn't understand how Simon could choose Baz over Bitty, but then again, he barely knows Baz. And Bitty is, well. He's Bitty.

"You'll find someone right for you. Someone who wants you," Derek says with confidence. He's long since stopped believing that for himself, but Bitty is different. He's kind and warm and he deserves someone good.

"I'm glad that you're my friend too," he says, smiling down at him and squeezing the back of his neck again before sliding his hand down Bitty's back and letting it fall away. The trees open up and they're in the park, back to real life, and Derek places a hand on his stomach. "Are you as hungry as I am? I'm always starving after a shift."
