Derek is ready for a lie, so he's surprised when it doesn't come. Dean's heartbeat remains steady, even as he looks him in the eye.
It makes his shoulders sag a little, stunned by the declaration enough that his bravado slips away. Maybe he wouldn't be ready to say that he trusts Dean completely, but in this moment he feels safe enough to let his guard down.
Being seen as equal means a lot to him, especially by someone who calls himself a hunter, and Derek looks up at him with a grateful expression.
"You can call me whenever you find something. Once I have the facts and I decide if I think it needs to be put down, I'll help you." It's the best he can offer for now. He won't call himself a hunter, but if something is out there killing innocents, he'll want to help.
"Might be a good thing, anyway. I've been looking for something to take my mind off of.. certain things."
