Chapter Text
“It’s okay to be nervous.” Liam assures him, handing him an energy drink for no good reason, or at least not one that Theo can figure out because he doesn’t drink them and he has never once told Liam that he likes them. He takes it anyway, giving the werewolf no expression whatsoever, as Liam frowns at him, annoyed he’s not giving him any idea of what he’s thinking.
It’s easy for Liam to say not to be nervous. He isn’t about to walk into a house with werewolves that most likely want to assume the worst of him, that are likely to kill him, and on top of all that now he has to explain to his roommates why he’s meeting a pack of werewolves. If he’s lucky they might stake him early into the night and he won’t have to deal with Liam’s impending dread and anxiousness that has settled over him. He’s awful at hiding it and the energy drink he’s downed in about five seconds flat hasn’t helped him in any way, but far be it from Theo to get a word in with Liam’s nervous rambling.
“Honestly, Stiles is the only one that really hates vampires. Everyone else kind of low-key worries about them, but they really only have feelings of great loathing for them.” Liam says, shifting around in the passenger seat, his knees moving back and forth, and jittery as hell. Theo can’t help but scowl at him.
“Is this you giving me reassurance?” Theo questions, biting his tongue the best that he can. He feels like he’s on the brink of losing his mind since none of this would even be happening if Liam didn’t answer his phone and hand it over to him without any warning at all. He didn’t even try to deny he was with Theo. He immediately gave up and folded. If that’s not a sign to scrap the plan of working with Liam he doesn’t know what is.
“Loathsome sounds better than hate. I’m trying to be a positive Teddy.” Liam huffs out, taking a sip of Theo’s energy drink. Not that Liam needs any more energy than he already has. He’s practically vibrating with every word that comes out of his mouth.
“Thanks. Next time, consider not answering the phone in the middle of the damn night.” Theo sighs, turning the music up louder so he can try to help the constant voice in his head that is telling him to go back. That he’s about to die tonight. No matter what he does, he can’t shake it and it’s starting to get to the point where he welcomes Liam’s chatter.
“It could have been an emergency.” Liam points out, causing Theo to stare at him in exasperation at his logic and he can’t even find the words to argue when he’s this close to his own death. Something Liam doesn’t seem to have grasped just yet.
“Remind me to never allow you to be the one to hold any life saving secrets.” Theo deadpans, rolling his eyes at Liam’s indignant expression that has him questioning whether or not he should feel bad and give Liam a break. It’s too late in the evening for this and quite frankly, Theo just wants to get this over with and try to survive this day from hell. Funny that he’s the one without a beating heart and superstitious people even go as far as to throw holy water on him and grab crosses when they talk about anything related to vampires, but Theo is the one having a night and entire day of living hell. He’s more worried about everyone else.
“I’ll pretend you didn’t say that because you’re on edge right now. Why would they give you a hard time if they invited you over?” Liam asks, always the hopeful one. Someone has to be, even when it’s looking grim and Liam’s eyes say it all. The look of surprise on Liam’s face from Theo assuming the worst has him flabbergasted. Liam’s really this positive all of the time.
“They might want to make sure I haven’t turned you into a vampire and that you’re not helping me to create more vampires in Beacon Hills.” Theo sneers, watching as Liam’s eyes widen at his words. He’s taking him seriously and Theo shakes his head at him before he hands Liam the energy drink that he continues to steal sips of. At this rate Liam will be so high on sugar and caffeine that it’s possible they may be more worried about Liam than Theo. Or they might blame Theo for that too.
Liam studies Theo’s face, narrowing his eyes before frowning and straightening up in his seat. Theo eyes him cautiously, wondering what he’s thinking about. He’s always thinking, always talking, but sometimes Theo doesn’t mind. Liam can be fun too.
“You have jokes. WAIT. How are you walking around during the day? Do you have to stay in at night or not?” Liam cries, turning towards him and eyeing him suspiciously, his voice cracking.
“Liam, can you please get a fucken grip? I’m trying to get to this meeting that I was randomly invited to and against my better judgment I’ve decided to go. Can your psycho questioning wait until I’ve made it through the night?” Theo hisses through clenched teeth, his entire body shaking from keeping himself from becoming more anxious and angry about this entire meet up. A meet up that Theo has a terrible feeling about.
“Awww. You’re scared.” Liam smiles, suddenly becoming more cheerful and relaxed, his eyes glittering with enthusiasm. Liam’s enthusiasm is something that Theo doesn’t share. Not when he’s about to meet a bunch of werewolves that he’s been warned to avoid all of his vampire life. Even Boyd told him to be careful and he never under any circumstances invited him over to Derek’s loft like some kind of weird interrogation party. The McCall pack must be doing things differently and throwing all normal behavior out the window. This isn’t normal. Having a vampire come and talk to a pack of werewolves doesn’t happen.
“Be quiet.” He waves his hands in front of Liam, doing his best to silence him and let him leave Theo alone with his thoughts. Thoughts that have suddenly become more blaring, his head swimming with what could happen at the McCall house and why he’s even entertaining this, is the better question. The werewolf sitting next to him has ruined any rational thought inside of his head. All over the word friend. When did he become this soft and stupid? Completely leaving all rational thoughts behind?
“Scott won’t kill you. I can’t make any promises about the others, but maybe Kira won’t. She’s very nice and if they kill you, then it would mean they would have to find a way to explain it. Uh…forget that. I'm sorry. It’s going to be great. “Liam nods firmly, not helping Theo’s feeling of dread in the slightest.
“Your pep talks are incredible.” Theo snorts, managing to laugh, as Liam gives him a displeased smile and turns the radio up.
“You’re all gloom and doom. It’s very hard to give you uplifting talks when your first reaction is, everything is going to hell and we shouldn’t bother .” Liam argues, sighing and laughing when Theo doesn’t show any signs of amusement.
“I don’t say that. I’m just a realistic person and when you have seen what I have you tend to believe that things go south quite often.” He loosens his shoulders, doing his best to relax for Liam, who’s been nothing but a positive ball of energy this entire car ride. Theo has to hand it to him, Scott’s sunshine attitude has rubbed off on him well, but Theo hasn’t had the same success story. Not even close.
“What happened with you and Boyd?” Liam asks quietly, keeping his eyes out the window. His body is frozen, waiting for Theo to respond, maybe throw him out of the truck and flee. He’s not planning on being that harsh, though he really should but like clockwork it has been almost exactly 24 hours. He must have some internal clock or put calendar reminders in his phone to remember to ask Theo all of his questions. It’s impressive.
“Someone died.” Theo says matter of factly, noticing the way Liam shifts towards him, leaning in to hear more, the mood now suddenly changing. It's growing more serious and he won’t take responsibility for the negative feelings that have now crept back up. Liam asked. He didn’t have to question him at all.
“Oh. Who died and why is that your fault? Did you bite them?” Liam’s face turns to fear, mixed with mild horror, as Theo debates if this is really the time to discuss this when he’s about to enter a house of angry werewolves that are most likely going to be protective over Liam. If Liam walks in already upset, that’s not going to help anything.
“Yup. I killed them and left Boyd to handle the body.” Theo mutters, keeping his face serious. He wonders how long it will take for Liam to question what he’s saying, but Liam’s already frowning at him and growling.”
“Can you actually be honest?” Liam’s golden eyes flash, the irritation evident in his voice from Theo delaying the real story. He’s impressed, and somewhat confused that Liam has already decided Theo isn’t some deranged bloodthirsty vampire. It takes him a moment to think about how he should explain everything.
“Boyd is a werewolf and he somehow became friends with a vampire. Well, he met her at school when she decided to go back for kicks and giggles.” Theo informs him, pausing to see if Liam’s heard enough, but Liam’s inquisitive nature is never satisfied and he only waits for him to continue.
“She was my roommate. Another roommate and one I actually didn’t mind. Her name was Erica and she was very into going against anything that was too confining. The view of werewolves and vampires not being around each other and staying clear of each other whenever possible, wasn’t something she liked or shared.” Theo takes a deep breath, smiling at the thought of Erica’s angry tangents when she argued with him over it.
“Hmm. So I would have liked her.” Liam smiles, thoughtfully looking out the window. Theo believes Liam would have definitely liked Erica and she probably would have enjoyed giving Theo a hard time about him. She was always teasing him about never having fun.
“Yeah. She met Boyd at school and even though Boyd can be antisocial he did really like her, but she ended up bringing him back to the house. That’s how we met.” He gives a sad smile, reflecting on how he should have given her a much harder time about hanging around werewolves, but telling Erica how to live her life would have made her argue with him even more. She always won every argument they ever had. He misses their arguments sometimes.
“That’s a bold move. I love it.” Liam smirks, turning the radio down. Theo wishes the conversation could continue to be a fun story.
Theo turns into the McCall driveway, happy to finish this conversation later. He turns the truck off and before he can even begin to open the door, Liam leans across his seat and locks the door. He tenses, as Liam stares him down across the passenger side of the truck, waiting for him to finish his story. A story that he never wanted to tell in the first place.
“Liam. It doesn’t have a happy ending.” Theo explains, giving him a chance to back out now, to keep the story light, and not have to deal with all of the negative emotions it brings up. Liam won’t budge though. He folds his arms across his chest, still waiting.
“ Fine. I wasn’t a fan of Boyd at first. I didn’t trust him but I wasn’t going to tell the Hale pack Boyd was hanging around Erica. I’m not someone that will purposely cause problems or try to make things worse.” Theo makes a point of saying, as Liam nods in understanding. He doesn’t want Liam to think he outed Erica or something because he didn’t. He’s never told anyone else’s secrets and he’s always been one to let everyone decide for themselves what they want to do.
“Theo, you’re stalling.” Liam says, his face softening slightly. He might be stalling but he’s never told this to anyone and even his roommates wanted to hear the bare minimum of what transpired. Theo hates opening this door. The questions, uncertainty of what Liam will think has him overthinking everything that he’s saying.
“Let me tell it my way. Anyway, Boyd and I became friends because Erica decided she wanted to develop feelings for a werewolf. Since he wasn’t going anywhere I decided to try and like him.” He peers out the driver side window, watching as the curtains move and the porch light turns on. He doesn’t get why Scott had to invite him over before sunrise, but maybe he assumed Theo would burn up if he came over too late in the day. He needs to hurry up or someone’s going to come out and Theo doesn’t want to explain this to anyone else.
“I found he wasn’t that bad and he started coming by even when Erica wasn’t home. Yes, I had a friend once Liam. Shut up.” Theo rolls his eyes at Liam’s gleeful smile. Of course he’s excited that he had a friend once. It means he can finally confirm that Theo isn’t completely dead inside. Something Liam seems hell bent on proving to Theo’s dismay.
“I didn’t say anything.” Liam points out, his eyes focused on every word Theo is saying.
“Your face did. So yeah, I at one point in time decided that hanging around a werewolf wasn’t that bad and Erica was just as happy as you right now. It didn’t last though. Erica was a new vampire and she had trouble controlling herself sometimes. It’s expected but little things would set her off.” Theo’s stomach drops at the same time Liam’s face falls, the sadness starting to show in his eyes.
“One night she was really upset because it was the anniversary of her mothers death and Boyd was on some pack thing with Derek. I’m not entirely sure what they were doing but he asked me to stay with her because he felt awful about having to leave early that day. He had made plans to keep her mind off it but Derek needed his help.” Theo sighs, finally getting the nerve to finish the story about one of the worst days of his life and probably the worst day of Boyd’s life. It will always be the worst day of his life.
“Okay. So what happened?” Liam swallows, waiting for the finale of the story that keeps Theo from ever wanting to have any friends again. He’s inevitably going to ruin it like he did with Erica and Boyd.
“I was with her and she was a little strung out but she seemed okay. Josh called me and was about to go off the deep end because Donovan wanted to kill some humans in town. He said he didn’t know what to do and if the scent of blood hit his nose he was sure he wouldn’t be able to stop Donovan. He said he’d probably join him. So I decided to go after them to avoid Donovan or Josh murdering someone. Erica said she was too nervous to go out when she was this off balanced and running on her emotions.” He opens the door, getting out of the truck. Liam scrambles out the door and runs around the truck, pulling Theo back towards him.
“I left her. I told Boyd I wouldn’t leave her and I did. She was normally okay. She never was so out of control that she did anything stupid, but she wasn’t a vampire as long as the rest of us.” Theo can still see her. Laying there lifeless.
“Boyd is holding it against you? Did she have an accident or something?” Liam pauses, as worry starts crowding his face, still not understanding what Theo is trying to say.
“Not really. He claimed he knew I didn’t have a lot of options and I think he blames himself more. He said he couldn’t look at me without feeling guilty for leaving her. I found her about a mile from the house with a wooden stake in her. I can only assume it was a hunter by the way the wood was sharpened. She must have let her bloodlust get to her and ran into the wrong person.” Theo shakes his head sadly, the guilt settling over him.
“Do you know who it was?” Liam places his hand on Theo’s shoulder, keeping him from walking towards the porch of the house. Theo doesn’t want to talk about it. About how he tore apart every little piece of evidence he could find to figure out who did it. Erica deserved that much and maybe it would give Boyd some peace. Everything was a dead end though.
“Never found them. So I lost two people that night. Want to know what’s ironic? I showed up to help Josh and Donovan was already controlled. I didn’t need to go. Josh still hasn’t forgiven himself over it. He panicked but was able to handle it and I decided to break a promise. The only one I ever have broken.” Theo smiles sadly at Liam, his face growing more sympathetic the more he stares at Theo. He doesn’t need his sympathy.
“It’s not strictly all your fault Theo. Boyd wasn’t there. Josh panicked and Donovan was acting unhinged obviously, which makes me wonder why he’s still in the house, but we will come back to that. I don’t think you need to carry this forever. Even if you found whoever it was, it wouldn’t bring her back. It wouldn’t help Boyd. No one could have seen this coming.” Liam stresses, but Theo is already walking towards the McCall house. The conversation is over and he won’t entertain any more questions or thoughts on it.
When Theo reaches the door it’s already opened. A lady who he can only assume is Scott’s mother, gives him a wary look that turns into a smile when she sees Liam giving her a small wave.
Liam rushes to his side and walks into the house, giving Melissa a hug, but he pauses, looking back at Theo. He is giving him a weird look, urging Theo to walk into the house. A house Theo wants nothing to do with and as he stands there awkwardly waiting for mamma McCall to say something, he realizes Liam needs to brush up on his vampire knowledge. At least for his own sake so he can stop staring at Theo like he’s purposely trying to not enter the house and only making it difficult to upset him. Liam calls him arrogant, but here he is assuming Theo is standing like an idiot outside of a house to mess with him. He’s not that bad-mannered.
Theo should give Liam more information to help him, but it won’t include his entire life story that Liam seems to be adamant on learning whenever he has any opportunity to ask his invasive questions. He has a feeling Liam is going to try to over analyze or be his shrink later, even if Theo does everything in his power to avoid that and him. Avoiding Liam is like humans avoiding drinking water. It’s impossible.
“Mom. Invite Theo in.” Scott McCall appears behind the doorway, smiling at Theo as he frowns back at him, not believing for one second that he doesn’t have ulterior motives in all of this.
“Sure…come in Theo. I’m Melissa.” Melissa opens the door, not entirely happy, but she does step to the side to let him pass, while Liam remains bewildered at what’s going on. Theo will mention it later. The guy has to at least try to learn things outside of Theo and his life. He’s not the only vampire around and mythological books are a thing.
Theo turns to shut the door and almost immediately leaves when he notices a blue car down the street idling with the windows rolled down . They are clearly spying on them. If Theo wasn’t trying to avoid a scene then he would march up to the car and demand to know if this was Liam’s idea. How convenient that Mason and Corey are down the road and happen to be pulled over and in direct view of the house. They aren’t even trying to hide.
“Come in. Do you need anything?” Scott asks, his voice way too friendly for Theo’s taste, but he shakes his head and follows him into the living room where he expects to see everyone else, but it’s only Scott and Liam that are here.
He turns and looks around the room, waiting for everyone else to pile in, giving Liam a hard stare and he gives Theo the middle finger, smiling at him. Theo notices Liam glance out the window to check if Mason’s car is still out there. Why everyone has to be involved in all of this he hasn’t a clue and Corey knows he hates letting people know his every move so him spying outside is not the best idea to continue being his favorite roommate. Liam’s really to blame though. He’s always making ideas that make no sense and he’s sure Liam told them to stake out the house like some kind of CIA agents.
“Where’s everyone?” Theo scans the room again, anticipating the rest of the pack to come barreling through the door. Liam sits down on the couch, patting the seat next to him like Theo’s a dog, which he doesn’t acknowledge but he does sit on the chair next to him.
“They aren’t here. I figured having a bunch of werewolves and people staring at you wasn’t the most welcoming experience.” Scott sits down across from him, his eyes are smiling and Theo doesn’t know how someone’s eyes can smile, but Scott's eyes do. It’s maintaining the hero and sunshine personality everyone talks about. Theo sighs, already regretting being here.
“Theo doesn’t like a lot of people at once.” Liam explains, giving Theo an enthusiastic nod to speak. He didn’t give Liam permission to speak for him and he was hoping this was more of a conversation between everyone about what they’re doing about this supernatural murderer. Instead he’s sitting here with Scott, making him feel like he needs approval to be around Liam.
“Yeah and some of my friends can be protective. I know that.“ Scott chuckles, looking lost in thought, probably having someone in mind but Theo doesn’t care. He wants to get out of here as soon as possible.
“Yeah. Mine too. Though when they become protective they tend to bite people's necks.” Theo says dryly, hearing Liam groan. Okay, so maybe that was unnecessary because Scott seems to be trying even though it’s pointless and Liam is the only one hoping for some kind of little team up between everyone. Theo can’t help it. He won’t let anyone change who he is.
“Well, werewolves can shift and end up killing people if they don’t get things under control so I get it.” Scott says, trying to connect with him. Theo doesn’t want to connect with anyone and Scott McCall’s understanding of what Theo is saying, doesn’t work to help him feel any more comfortable around him.
“I was telling Theo that we all want to live in peace. He’s willing to share his vampire stuff if we need it. In case. That’s all.” Liam says quickly, as Theo narrows his eyes at the werewolf, starting to wonder what Argent told Scott. This doesn’t feel like they’re teaming up, interrogating him, or even trying to find out if he’s to be trusted. It feels more like an interview.
“So, what’s going on?” Theo flinches, keeping his gaze on Scott, even though Liam’s kicked him so hard he wants to yell at him, and it wasn’t subtle. Scott doesn't give much of a reaction but there’s nothing hiding what Liam did. There is no table or anything covering up Liam’s bad attempt at shushing him.
“Argent called me. He said you were with Liam. Asking questions. I had to ask myself if I should be concerned or not. I called Derek.” Scott explains, his face growing more serious.
Liam starts fidgeting in his chair, leaning back and looking all around the room. Theo wants to shake him. His energy is rubbing off on him and now he’s restless, waiting for some shoe to drop. The dread in his stomach has him constricted, weighted down and stuck in his own head. Theo’s waiting, inevitably for the moment everything is ruined. It’s always ruined. No matter what he does, how hard he tries, and he’s not expecting this to be any different.
Scott doesn’t give any other explanation. He starts chatting to Liam and what they’re saying Theo can’t make out, he’s lost in his own world, contemplating what the next step is after all of this. He can’t help but start to become agitated at Scott’s casual attitude and his attempt at talking to Theo without being too interrogative.
“I don’t even know Derek. I’ve said maybe three words to him. He wouldn’t say anything that’s accurate.” Theo sneers, managing to get out of his head for one moment and force Scott to have a conversation with him that doesn’t involve formalities or polite dialogue.
Liam’s eyes are glued on him, piercing into him, but he won’t look at him. He can be upset all he wants but Theo isn’t going to have some sort of fake conversation for the sake of Liam’s feelings if it means he has to pretend like Scott wants him here. The weight of everything that’s happened to him, hits him quietly.
“He mentioned he was nervous about you but Boyd always spoke highly about you all of the time and so did Erica. He met her and they had a conversation more than once.“ Scott grows quiet, carefully calculating his words, as Theo becomes more upset over the fact that Erica never mentioned any of that at all. The weight on his chest doesn’t lift, it only hurts more when he focuses on what it means.
“What’s your interpretation?” Theo lifts his jaw a little higher, his jaw clenching.
“I think werewolves are predators and vampires' instincts are to satisfy their cravings, but that doesn't make them killers. Killers are made by choices the person makes and I haven’t chosen to be a predator that murders. What about you?” Scott smiles at him, showing no signs of animosity, and Theo can hear Liam’s sigh of relief that he makes the moment Theo visibly relaxes. There’s no longer a need to be on guard. If Scott wants to play the hero and the optimistic alpha that wants nothing more than to get along, Theo will let him. It’s not realistic but Theo isn’t going to start an argument.
“We all have demons but I try to keep mine from breaking through.” He informs him, standing up and Scott holds his hand out, waiting for Theo to shake it. It’s still very formal and Theo doesn’t like formal. Politeness is a way of hiding what someone really thinks or wants to say, and he isn’t in the habit of sugarcoating anything.
“Have a nice day.” Theo grumbles and allows a small smile. He heads towards the front door, as Liam trails behind him, giving Melissa an apologetic smile while he follows him out the door. Theo doesn’t have to look at the werewolf to know he’s ticked off. His entire demeanor has morphed into one of seething rage as soon as they enter Theo’s truck and Scott has waved his goodbye to them.
“You couldn’t have shaken his hand?” Liam’s voice shakes with fury, his blue eyes showing an icey cold gaze.
“I don’t shake anyone’s hand unless I’m pretending to get along with them. I didn’t think Scott or you would appreciate insincerity.” Theo points out, reversing down the driveway while Liam claws poke into his seat, on the verge of tearing into it.
“You want to forever be alone and gloomy!” Liam argues, pointing out the obvious problem with Theo that he doesn’t like and always makes a point of mentioning. His negativity and standoffish attitude is something that really gets under Liam’s skin. It’s now reached a breaking point for Liam.
“I can’t be alone Liam. You’re always here!” Theo hisses, slamming on the breaks, and pulling to a sudden stop right beside Mason and Corey. They sheepishly wave to them, guilt written all over their faces for being in the middle of all of this.
“Well someone has to make sure you don’t get used to being friendless and someday you will have to get over yourself because you’re a little bit much.” Liam folds his arms across his chest, glaring daggers at him.
“So…how did it go?” Corey smiles weakly at them while Mason waves his hands frantically to quiet him, but Liam’s already getting out of the truck and slamming the door.
“I’m a bit much? You’re the one that needs to solve whatever murders are happening around here so you can feel like you’re contributing to your pack somehow.“ Theo bites his bottom lip, the hurt in Liam’s eyes shining through and he immediately wants to start screaming at himself for ruining the werewolf’s mood.
Liam throws the door of Mason’s car open, as Corey sighs sadly at Theo, the disappointment all over his face and Mason’s steely gaze on him only makes it worse.
“Liam, I don’t want to make other friends. You’re enough. Sorry to tell you.” Theo forces the words out of his mouth, hating the way it makes him look, but Liam’s wounded pout is getting to him.
“You’re an ass.” Liam informs him and he’s always been aware of this fact but hearing it from Liam makes it sound much harsher than Theo likes.
Liam shuts the door, rolling the window down. Theo gives Mason a pleading look to wait for a second because he can’t leave it like this and have Corey being angry at him. He can’t have Liam not wanting to continue working with him. It’s not good for the town.
“I know this and I think you knew that already too, but I’m sorry.” Theo says. The word sounds foreign on his tongue, strange to his ears because he’s never said sorry to anyone. Only to Erica who won’t ever hear him say it.
“Wow.” Corey sputters out, blinking at Theo in shock. It’s actually quite absurd he’s that amazed by Theo apologizing. It's annoying.
“You owe me breakfast. We will see you there. We can resume our normal activities after I eat.” Liam demands, as Theo frowns, not sure if driving alone is supposed to be some form of therapy for him to reflect on his actions. It would be something Liam would do. Force him to come to terms with why he’s like this, but he’s only relieved the hurt gaze has disappeared off Liam’s face.
“This was so worth a car ride.” Mason smiles, gleefully starting to laugh. Corey nods in agreement but turns serious when Theo gives him a pointed look.
“I’m forever holding this over your head.” Liam tells him in a much higher voice than normal. He rolls the window up, winking at Theo as he sticks his tongue out at him and laughs.
Mason speeds away and a text from Corey appears across his screen to give him the address of where they’re eating. He’s pretty sure this was their first real fight and Theo doesn’t fight with anyone. He’s never bothered because no one has ever been worth getting upset about, but Liam’s not like everyone else and now he’s buying him breakfast since he’s decided that’s the penalty that Theo has to pay. He’s not even mad over it.
His phone lights up again and he opens it to see a text from Liam.
I’ll accept you won’t be besties with Scott right now but I’m still making you tell me about how you have managed to be outside in the sun. FYI. Also, that was Scott's way of telling you he doesn't think you're a threat.
Theo can’t begin to understand how Liam’s curiosity is never satisfied. Even when he’s mad at him. Theo can only sigh, as he turns around to follow Mason and the rest of them to breakfast. He never eats breakfast and now he’s paying for Liam’s, but he decides to go with it. Liam’s not one to argue with. Obviously.
