Summary: Just a Thiam fanfic I've started.I am not the kind of author to spoil everything in the summary or in notes, I'll give you the gift of anticipation and surprise. This will turn into a work with mature themes - themes that not all people are into or accepting of. They're not for everyone and you’ve been warned.
If you can't keep an open mind, I suggest maybe skipping past this fic.

“So you’re staying?” I tried to hide the sudden, foreign excitement that bubbled up at his words.
He gave another shrug and I turned to look at him.
“Might as well, I don’t have anywhere else to go.” He tried to sound nonchalant but something in his voice was resonating meaning.
I heard what he wasn’t saying: he didn’t have a reason to leave. I entertained the thought that perhaps there was a reason he wanted to stay, something – or someone – to stay for, but couldn’t bring myself to conclude what it could be. I was overthinking it.
“Hunters could come back, too.” He added, as though to underline that he didn’t have any other reason besides eagerness for a good fight.
“I thought you didn’t care about the safety of Beacon Hills.”
It was a risky provocation and I stilled, waiting for his scent to spike again with irritation at my prying.
Theo fell quiet and for a moment I thought I heard his heartbeat quicken. I kept my eyes on the TV screen and waited, jaw sharp, for him to cover it up. To slam me with insults, to punch me in the face – anything. But he didn’t. The words that hung unsaid in the air almost choked me.
I care about the safety of you.
Neither of us moved for what felt like years, the seconds ticking by in slow motion. I felt a little numb by the time Theo shot my soldier.
“I don’t.” Is all he said.
