They were appealing to the Derek & Stiles (aka Sterek) shippers. Get it -- relationship > Shipper > on a ship. They did it on purpose, a sort of code, but a very obvious one. That's why they were acting intimate with each other -- to appeal to those who want Derek and Stiles to be a couple. Which is many. The ship is the most popular on the show, at least with fanfics/art/vids/etc. And Tyler and Dylan both know it. As do the cast and Jeff Davis.
