Theo nodded once when she agreed to just not fight. It would be hard, but he thought he could do it. Or at least, he hoped he could. He was still pretty unstable, so it was going to take a lot of effort. “We can do it. We have to. The last thing I need right now is to lose you, so we’ll figure it out,” he assured her. He nodded again as she did. That was something he’d only do if he got desperate, but it was still an option. His smile grew when she turned over onto her side. “Yeah, it makes me happy,” he confirmed. “It’s relaxing.” The smile held on his lips when she explained another thing that made her happy. “I don’t like when you go to sleep with your hair wet,” he told her with a small shrug. “It’s a weird feeling to have someone cuddle up to you with damp hair. But I’m glad it makes you happy. Leftover pizza makes me happy. It always tastes better the second day.” Theo liked this. It felt much easier than the conversation they were having before. It felt normal. “No, you’re right, she isn’t hell bent on finding me. I’m just concerned about her when she does find out I’m alive. Whatever deal she made with the Skinwalkers——we don’t know the conditions. We don’t know if I need to stay dead,” he shrugged. “Let’s say someone from our pack slips up and she finds out I’m alive. Then what? Or what if Paige tells someone and Kira hears about it? I want her to not find out I’m alive, but I can’t be positive she never will. It’s best to take her out as soon as possible instead of waiting around, wondering if and when she’ll come after me. I’m just trying to protect myself.” Theo knew Malia wasn’t going to have an easy time with this and while that frustrated him, he didn’t want it to start anything between them. “You’re not going to be involved, so there’s nothing to worry about. It’ll be over quickly if I can do this soon. Dragging it out is just going to make it harder.”

“You’re not going to lose me,” she sighed. “Not forever, at least. I promised you I would always come back, remember?” That hadn’t changed. There were a lot of things that made her want to leave him, but she knew she would never be able to stay away for long. She loved him too much to be without him. “Yeah, sorry. I know it probably just makes your chest all wet,” Malia laughed. “But too bad.” Her nose scrunched up when he said that leftover pizza made him happy. “Ew,” she scoffed. “The cheese is always weird the next day. And it doesn’t get better when you microwave it or put it in the oven. Weird things make you happy.” Malia shrugged when he continued to talk about Kira. She really didn’t want to be in any way involved, so even hearing about his plans and thoughts about it all was upsetting her. “This is Kira we’re talking about. It would be different if it were Stiles, Scott, or even Lydia. Even if she finds out, if we’re on the other side of the country, I doubt she will go out of her way to track you down. And Paige? Really? I’ll kill her- that will solve that problem.” Malia paused for a moment before letting out a sigh. “I want us to move away. I want something more with us.”

Theo: Yeah, I do. I love you a lot. But you still piss me off so much.

Theo: It is really fun. It's definitely up there on the list of the most fun I've ever had, honestly.

Theo: I do it until I'm satisfied.

Malia: I love you :)

Malia: I miss you. I don't care if you tease me, I just want to be with you.

text → malia (closed)

Theo: Wow, I'm lucky to have a girl that pisses me off so much, it's actually a habit.

Theo: If I didn't think our sex was fun, I wouldn't still be having sex with you.

Theo: I just think teasing you is a lot of fun, too, so I want to do it.

Malia: You love me.

Malia: Good, because I think it's super fun.

Malia: Fair enough. But you always do it too much.

text → malia (closed)

Theo: So do I, but the physical stuff doesn't do me much good if you're trying to piss me off over text.

Theo: I always make sure it's very good for you in the end, but I want to have a little fun too, you know.

Malia: It's a habit, I can't even control myself at this point ;)

Malia: You don't think our sex is fun?

“You’re not a child at all. You’ve been through a hell of a lot more than he has anyway, so he shouldn’t be treating you like a child. I know you hate sharing,” he said with a small grin. “Just make plans with your dad sometime and tell him not to bring her with because you just want it to be the two of you,” he suggested. When she frowned and spoke, he shook his head. “Well, maybe it’s not a big deal to him. And that’s okay, it’s just a ring. Considering everything you’ve told me about how he kept pretty much everything in your house the same and how he seems to still not be over it, I doubt he’s just going to get over your mom. I wouldn’t worry about his new girlfriend trying to steal him away from her.” Theo shrugged at her comment. “Sometimes it’s better for us to spend time apart. It still sucks when that happens though and I always wish you were here and we weren’t fighting,” he countered. When she told him what she wanted, he left the room and walked into the kitchen to grab her favorite ice cream and a spoon. “I’m supposed to feed you, I guess,” he said, furrowing his eyebrows. Before sitting down next to her, he turned on Netflix and shrugged. “I don’t have Wizard of Oz and I only have horror movies, so pick something else.” He wrapped one arm around her, pulling her closer to him so he could press a quick kiss to her cheek before using his other hand to open the container of ice cream and scooping some out to give to her.

“It’s not that easy,” Malia whined, shaking her head and frowning. “I can’t just tell him she can’t come because he’s practically obsessed with her and he’ll just be upset if I don’t like her. Just like you said, they’re in that honeymoon phase, so it’s not going to get better for a couple of weeks.” Unfortunately. “It’s not just a ring,” she said stubbornly. “I wanted him to keep it on. It has been over eight years since the crash, and he still wore it up until now. That doesn’t even make sense.” It was a little bit unrealistic for Malia to just assume he’d continue wearing it forever, but she didn’t understand how he could wear it for so long after and then just suddenly stop. “Well, I don’t like spending time apart,” she mumbled. Malia stared at the screen as he wrapped an arm around her to bring her closer and pecked her cheek. “Didn’t you have a favorite movie when you were a little kid?” She blurted out. “That’s what I want to watch. Your favorite movie when you were a little kid.” She opened her mouth when he held out a spoonful of ice-cream to her, then rested her head against his shoulder, letting out a sigh.

“Well, what other choice do we have?” he asked, raising his eyebrows. “If we don’t, we’re just going to keep fighting and it’s fucking destroying us, Malia. We have to try. If we start to fight again, I will be the one to drop it. I promise.” When she offered her help and trailed off, he nodded. “I know. I don’t think there will be, but if there is, I’ll let you know. And if I get desperate, I can try talking to one of the other chimeras. They’ve been through it, so they might be able to help.” But that was only if he got really desperate. Otherwise, he refused to let them see him this weak. Theo noticed how she didn’t move when he laid down next to her. It made him sad because he was so used to her curling up into him whenever he laid down beside her. But he hoped she would be more likely to do it, give him that sense of slightly normality, if the conversation continued to lighten up and things got a little bit less tense between them. It made him feel a bit better to see her talk about something like that because it was simple, which helped ease his mind a bit. When he saw the small smile on her lips, one crossed his own. “That’s a good one,” he nodded before pausing to think of his own response. “You know when you flip a pillow over to the cool side on a hot night? That makes me happy.” Theo shrugged. “I don’t want any of them to know I’m alive yet, so how would you do that? She could find out somehow. There are always ways to find someone.” He paused, letting out a small sigh. “I don’t think there’s anything you can say to change my mind about this. Killing her is the only way I’m going to feel safe and okay.” And the only way he can properly get revenge. “I only told you to warn you that I was doing it so you wouldn’t get too upset with me once it happens.”

“I don’t know,” she mumbled under her breath, offering a small shrug. “But sure, okay,” she agreed. If he knew he would be able to drop the fighting, she would be willing to cooperate. Whatever it took to bring them back to normal was some- thing she was definitely willing to do. “Yeah, that might be a good idea,” Malia nodded. Hopefully talking to the chimeras about their experiences would help him cope with all of this better, since there was not much she could do to help at this point. When he explained a small thing that made him happy, Malia furrowed her eyebrows at him with a small grin, before turning her entire body onto her side to face him. “That makes you happy?” She asked in disbelief, giving him a confused look. She hadn’t even thought about that. “I like when I go to bed with wet hair and when i wake up in the morning it’s perfectly dry and wavy with zero effort. Not that I really put any effort into my hair anyway,” she shrugged. “I just don’t think that Kira is hell-bent on trying to find you, no offense. If she doesn’t even know you’re alive now, why would go looking for you? She thinks you’re dead. So if we just pack up and move to a different state, she’ll never know.” Malia really didn’t want to hear about her friend being killed, but she didn’t think there was much more to say because his mind seemed to be made up. Instead of saying anymore, she just shrugged and casted her eyes toward the ground.

Theo: There's nothing I can do that's not physical to shut you up, is there? Well, you'll just have to deal with the consequences later then.

Theo: It's very fun for me. You know how turned on I get when you beg and the best way to get you to really beg a lot is by teasing you. Plus, it's a good punishment.

Malia: Probably not. But that's okay, I like it physical.

Malia: Well, I think it's way more fun when you actually do things to me.

text → malia (closed)

Theo: What's in it for me? You're not pissing me off, so I don't have to turn you on to get you to shut up.

Theo: And it would definitely work.

Theo: Do you really think I won't spend a lot of time only teasing you? I enjoy doing that and I can keep it up for a while.

Malia: You turning me on won't shut me up, it will only give me more of a reason to try to piss you off.

Malia: Teasing is not even fun compared to the sex we have. Come on.

text → malia (closed)

Theo: Fine, then I'll just start sending you stuff that'll turn you on since you're with your dad and can't do anything about it.

Theo: Don't challenge me because I will.

Malia: Go ahead, it won't work.

Malia: I like to challenge you.

text → malia (closed)

Theo: I'm glad my grumpiness makes you so happy.

Theo: No, but I can just start pissing you off as well.

Theo: Or I'll get angry enough that I'll punish you by teasing the hell out of you. Especially since you're giving me time to think it over before you get home. I'd be careful.

Malia: I think it's hot.

Malia: You could, but I don't take my anger out by having sex, I'll just not reply. So...

Malia: You won't.

text → malia (closed)

Theo: And what if I tell you I'm already in a bad enough mood that you don't need to piss me off for me to be not nice during sex?

Theo: I'm guessing you're still going to try.

Theo: I've got a feeling you're going to make me wish I could gag you over text.

Malia: Well, that will make me happy.

Malia: Oh, that's right. You can't shut me up.

Malia: :)

text → malia (closed)

Theo: We've been over this several times. I'm very romantic.

Theo: It's your job if you want me to be nice to you. Which, to be fair, isn't often. But out of the two of us, you're much more likely to behave.

Malia: I also like when you're not nice.

Malia: I might as well just be the worst I can be right now. We're going to fuck as soon as I'm back, so maybe I can piss you off just enough over text to make sure the sex is good.

Malia: Not that it's ever not good.

text → malia (closed)

Theo: You're the worst.

Theo: I know. Things would be a lot less interesting if I was. It's your job to behave, not mine.

Malia: That's romantic.

Malia: That's not my job, either. I only do it when I want to be nice.

text → malia (closed)

Theo: Oh, that's right, I forgot, you can only send me nudes when it's the most inconvenient time for me.

Theo: And what exactly does me being a good boy consist of?

Malia: ;)

Malia: I don't know, I was just kidding. You're never a good boy.

text → malia (closed)

Theo: Someone you love, but someone he hates, so is that really better? It doesn't matter though. I know you won't leave right now.

Theo: No, I have them all saved. But they're not as good as the real thing, so I still want you here. I wouldn't complain if you sent more though...

Malia: I can't send more right now. I'm in the middle of the woods with my dad.

Malia: Maybe later, if you're a good boy ;)

playingwith-power:

“I know it’s not fair. If you don’t like her, you shouldn’t have to put up with her. It’s the same way your dad doesn’t really put up with me anymore and threatens me pretty much every time I see him. Tell him that because he’s being a hypocrite. Something tells me he’s expecting you to be a ‘good’ daughter, too, and learn to like her. And he’s probably masking it as a ‘father-daughter outing’ because he knows you’ll put up a fight if he tells you she’ll be there,” he shrugged. “Did you really expect him to wear it forever? It’s just a wedding ring, it’s not that big of a deal.” He ignored the confusion on her face as he rolled her up tightly in the blanket, grabbing her off the ground when he was finished and putting her back on the couch. “I do always want you here because I love you,” he grinned softly at her. “And I know that your dad loves you too, so I wouldn’t read too much into it.” He shrugged at her question. “It’s something humans do, I guess. I saw a video about it on Facebook and it’s supposed to help when people are sad,” he explained, standing up off the ground. “I’m supposed to wrap you up like a sushi roll. And I’m also supposed to give you food, put on your favorite movie, cuddle with you, kiss you, and make sure you’re hydrated. So do you want Lucky Charms, macaroni and cheese, or ice cream?”

“I don’t think that he really cares. He says it’s different because he’s an adult and ‘I’m a child,’ but I’m really not a child because I’m 18. I just wish he’d take a break from her so he could spend alone time with me, or something. I hate sharing you know I hate sharing. So having to share my dad is the worst. Especially with some annoying lady,” she whined, shaking her head and rolling her eyes. When he mentioned that the ring wasn’t a big deal, Malia frowned, looking down. “It’s a big deal to me,” she mumbled. She was really confused when he continued to wrap her up in the blanket, so tight that she was practically unable to move. “Well, when we fight you don’t want me here,” she added. Malia was just upset, so everything was coming out very negative. “How can I eat if I can barely move my arms?” She asked. “But ice- cream I guess.”

“It’ll work,” he assured when he noticed her hesitance. “If we do that, we can talk about whatever it is we were fighting about when we rest and cool down.” His eyes fell to the floor after she spoke. She didn’t seem to be able to forgive him, but he wanted to let that go for now. He could work on getting her to forgive him later. It would take a lot, but if he was determined, he could do it. He shrugged at her question. “I don’t know. It wore off for the others. I just don’t know how long it will take and if me being gone for as long as I was changes anything.” He took a long pause, considering the idea. “But if that is what’s going on, it’ll make it easier to get through. I did what I could to help them adjust, so I can try doing what I did for them with myself. I don’t know. But it’s possible.” Simply knowing that other people that he saw as weaker than him got through this made him start to think he could do it as well. And having this hope was different than how he felt before, which was already an improvement. A small one, but still an improvement. When she shook her head, he took one last long drink of the alcohol before deciding he’d had enough to do the job and setting it back down on the nightstand. Shifting down until his head hit the pillow, he fell silent and rolled over onto his side to face her. The alcohol was working more quickly than normal because of the wolfsbane he had ingested earlier, so it didn’t take long for him to feel slightly more relaxed. Taking a moment to think, Theo realized he was so focused on himself since he got back, even more so than usual. He hadn’t tried to distract himself much. But Malia was here and maybe if he worked on focusing on her, this could get easier. “Tell me something happy,“ he blurted out suddenly. "Tell me something small that makes you happy. Anything. Distract me with that until we can fall asleep.” It always made him happier when she was happy so maybe if he could get even a small smile out of her, it would help him feel better. “It doesn’t matter if we move away. The fact of the matter is that we don’t know anything about what she wants to do. We don’t know if she has reason to do kill me again and how far she’s willing to go to make it happen. I’m not willing to wait and find out, so I have to kill her. Even if we move far away, I’ll still worry she’ll come after me, so I need to take care of this as soon as possible,” he shrugged.

“Theo, it’s so easy to just say that,” she sighed. “Things change when it’s in the moment. What if we can’t do that?” Malia didn’t know much about how chimeras worked, even after all this time living with Theo and working closely with all of them. But she hoped what he was saying was right. Maybe he just needed a little bit of time to sort this all out. And maybe he’d be just fine in a matter of time. She didn’t know, but she hoped. “Well, if there’s anything I can do to help...” she trailed off with a shrug. Malia watched as he finished with the alcohol and moved to lay down next to her. When he turned to face her, she remained on her back, staring up at the ceiling. She could definitely feel him looking at her, but she didn’t feel like she could move. The words that he suddenly blurted out certainly caught Malia by surprise. That was the last thing she was expecting to come from him, but it was a nice change from the heavy conversation that had just been having. “Uh...” she thought for a few moments, before turning her head to look over at him. “Gummy bears. Gummy bears make me happy because they taste good and they’re colorful and squishy. And small. I don’t know.” She shrugged with a small smile. “What about you? What’s something small that makes you happy?” Malia sighed as he continued about Kira. She didn’t want to think that Kira would do anything like that. And especially not for a second time. “Well, maybe I can find out,” she shrugged. “And it’s not like she would be able to find us if we moved without telling anyone.”
