Home is Where You Are

Dropping off Liam and his friends at college wasn’t something he planned on doing, and it certainly wasn’t anything he thought he’d ever want to do, but somehow Liam has found a way to convince him. Convince him just like everything else he always convinces him of, and always in a way where Theo has no other choice but to say yes. 

The things Liam asks of him has always involved spending some level of time with him. Whether it's driving him somewhere, helping him with biology homework, helping with something Stiles needs, or even advice on life in general. He’s always said yes. He isn’t the best person with life advice, but Liam wants the company more than anything else, and who is Theo to deny the person that makes him want to get up every morning.

Liam has made him soft, and those are not even his own words, they’re Corey’s. Corey and his teasing about how Theo has done a 180 in terms of his character. Always willing to help, never saying no if it involves saving Liam’s ass, which happens more often than it should, but honestly Theo would do most anything to ensure the other werewolf has made his way home safely. 

A home that has now become Theo’s too. All Liam had to do was make those sad blue eyes grow wide when he learned Theo was living in his truck, and that was all it took. He didn’t even have to beg, although the chimera would never even need him to, but Liam only had to stare at him for a total of 5 seconds before he agreed to go home with him. 

Corey and Mason made sure to tease him about it, and Jenna made sure to never let him leave the house without breakfast. It wasn’t terrible. Dr. Geyer was always kind and giving advice, even when Liam grumbled about it, because he was mortified that his father believed they were dating. Liam had to stop him from going into the “be safe talk”, while Theo sat in his chair laughing and earning glares from Liam the entire time. 

They aren’t actually dating, but he doesn’t mind letting others think they are because it causes Liam to be enraged, and causes a good laugh for Theo. Corey and Mason will sometimes tease them about it. They know they aren’t dating, but it doesn’t stop them from pointing out everything they do, and claim that how they act is very couple-like. Theo doesn’t let it annoy him too much, even when Liam is seething about it, almost making him insulted that he’s so bent out of shape about possibly being with Theo that he has to stew about it for hours. It hurts sometimes but he gets it.

Liam has imprinted himself on his heart, maybe his very soul, always around, never letting him get a moment's peace, but he wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s grown accustomed to Liam in the morning, eating his cereal, while he rolls his eyes about class, and Theo being cranky when he has to get up early. He's grown accustomed to him in the afternoon where Liam has to text him immediately to explain why he has found himself in the woods instead of class, trying to figure out some supernatural issue while Theo has to find him to ensure he isn’t about to come face to face with a villain that he needs help with.  

Tonight though, he has agreed to watch a movie with Liam before they take off for college in the morning. He even convinced Theo to pick it, with his pouty lips, and soft blue eyes gazing back at him, creating a burning inside of his chest. One that threatens to ignite at any second, making him explode with feelings he never even knew he was capable of having until he met Liam, but he’s here now. He can’t shake him, with his chaotic ideas, angry moods, and smile that takes over whenever he teases Theo about anything.

“Are you going to turn it on, or be annoying and in your thoughts?” Liam frowns up at him, as he lays on the couch, and huffs at him for taking too long to switch on the movie.  His eyebrows are furrowed as he looks up at him.

“Maybe I should pick something else.” Theo admits, doubting his choice, and leaning back on the couch, while Liam throws up his hands in frustration.

“You’ve picked 8 different ones!” Liam sighs, dramatically throwing his arms over his face, and leaning back so his head is now laying across the chimeras lap. 

Theo doesn’t move, sitting still, waiting for Liam to speak, or move, anything to help Theo from ripping the couch cushion open from having to control his heart rate from skipping in his chest. Liam looks up, smiling, raising his eyebrows and motions for him to turn it on.

It’s a good distraction from having to focus on his own actions and what Liam might hear . He turns on the movie, and rolls his eyes as A Bug’s Life flashes on the screen.  Liam was thrilled when he mentioned it. Apparently Mason and Liam have been discussing Theo and his need for children’s films that he missed out on growing up. He chose it to appease Liam and his ever growing need to help Theo learn about things he missed as a child, but as he watches the first few minutes, he doesn’t hate it. 

Liam rolls over to face the TV screen, pulling a blanket over himself, and snuggling into Theo’s lap, not making any move to sit anywhere else.  Theo swallows roughly, keeping his eyes on the screen, his body from moving, and his heart from coming out of his chest from how frantically it's beating. He knows Liam must hear it, but he doesn’t say a word, not even when Jenna peaks her head in and smiles at them. 

The movie goes on and Theo is able to refocus his attention on it and even shifts his legs to prevent them from falling asleep, with no help from Liam who has decided to pass out and start snoring softly. He shakes his head,  pulls the cover over Liam more firmly, and ignores the sharp pain he feels about dropping Liam off tomorrow. 

He knew this day was coming, but he wasn’t expecting to be so attached to another person that he actually feels as if he’s losing something. Not being able to see Liam complain about Theo and his snarky attitude in the morning, or text him he needs to get picked up from the clinic that he wasn’t supposed to be at, is something he has gotten used to.  Liam is a presence. A presence he has grown very fond of, and one that makes the day a little better, almost bearable, even when they have nothing to do but watch a movie like this. 

Theo turns the movie off. He peers over to stare at Liam. He takes in his peaceful face, the lines of his jaw, the gentle rise of his chest while he sleeps, and the messy hair he will no longer be able to see every morning. He bites his bottom lip, willing himself to get a grip, to realize he will see Liam on holidays, or even sooner if Liam has a problem and he probably will, but it’s not enough. 

He’s never connected with another soul the way he has to Liam. The way he carries himself, his antics, and his way of being unapologetically him. It’s something he can barely put into words but he can feel it. Every time Liam smiles, frustrates him, calls to tell him he has another idea, or innocently looks back at him with his blue eyes when he’s trying to get Theo to agree to help him, he feels it. It’s probably the most terrifying thing he’s ever dealt with. To care. Care about someone so much that he can't see himself being without them for more than a day.

“Hey.” Theo looks down and sees Liam looking up at him, a small smile on his lips, and a yawn leaves him while Theo smiles back. Liam looks over at the TV screen and starts to get up, but Theo quickly pushes him back down gently.

Liam frowns, his face filled with confusion, as Theo clears his throat, attempting to explain himself as he nervously fiddles with the fuzz coming out of the couch. A much needed distraction while Liam continues to look up at him, his head still in Theo’s lap, looking tired but content as he smiles at Theo. 

“Theo.” Liam whispers, saying his name as if it’s the only one that matters at the moment and Theo can feel his heart race again, as his palms become sweaty, but he can’t even say it. Not now but maybe someday. Instead, he can say something that he wants to do. 

“Just let me look at you for a little bit.” Theo whispers, gently stroking his hand through Liam’s hair, and he hears a small whimper from him, but he won’t say anything. He won’t ruin this because this….

It’s enough.

➵ it's been almost exactly two years since I fell in love with wesper, which means it's been almost exactly two years since I met someone who encouraged my whim to create a community around that love... and I did, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made, not just because such a beloved group of friends grew out of that single seed of interaction between two strangers, but because that stranger is no longer a stranger; they're a friend it feels I've known so much longer than just these two years, and someone I've come to love so much, what started as a stress doodle turned into this piece... just thinking about the butterfly effect of discovering wesper, the peace of a storm spent in good company, and friendships that feel like eternal summer

so, here's to two years of friendship with my dearest @waterloou 💕

[sparrowmoth]

Happy birthday, my beloved @waterloou! 💖 For this lovely occasion, I wish to present to you a sad, sleepy mouse Wylan seeking Jesper for comfort after waking up from a nightmare. Love you, Lou. 💕

“If I didn’t hate you so much I’d probably be thanking you.” Liam’s voice drips with venom, loathing the smirk that has settled on Theo’s face.

If he didn’t know any better, he’d almost think Theo wanted to help him, but he can’t possibly assume that the chimera even knows what helping someone means. At least helping someone and not getting something in return.

“I think we’re way past hate. You’re wearing my hoodie after all.” Theo winks at him. It almost borders on flirtatious and Liam blinks at him in confusion, cursing himself for needing extra clothes, and for noticing the skip in his own heartbeat.
