“Hey,” says Liam, looking up as Theo wanders in. It’s cold in here, it always is, Theo feels it through his skin. It's a relief though, because the basement was all stuffy and suffocating and Theo felt like he was dying or at least something close to it. Felt all constricted in his chest, and his throat, and his head. When he started breathing shallow, he knew it was time to get out of there. “You awake too?”

Theo shrugs. “Can’t sleep. Your basement’s hot.” He doesn’t tell Liam the rest of it, that every time he tried to get some shut-eye he’d see all of their faces, bloody and battered, afterimages. He doesn’t say that he’s scared that something will go bump in the night again and it’ll be Liam’s house that gets shot up instead of Scott’s, this time. He doesn’t say that he’s pretty terrified of things like losing. Losing, with a couple of other words attached at the end, people, places, LXXM. SXXXT. That camaraderie they’d built up recently. Those smiles he keeps catching the tail ends of. Whatever. Sleep deprivation makes him weird, honest. He starts spilling over. 

“Yeah,” mutters Liam. He stares into the bottom of his mug, of whatever hot substance he’s drinking to get the edge off. Smells like tea, chai, maybe. Theo wonders if Liam’s trying to read the leaves.

more here!!!!! <3

After the gunshots, the smashed radio, and relieved hugs in the empty hospital, Liam had said, “Let’s go,” and Theo followed wordlessly.

The wetness in his eyes stuck around. He didn’t care to wipe them; the dam could crumble if he did. There was some kind of fragility to Theo in that moment despite his strength, endurance, history, and everything else. Despite, despite, despite. He couldn’t even be frustrated at himself because of it. Something heavy covered his mind, threads of sorrow and grief sewn into a blanket of numbness. It almost scared him, feeling like that. Distress tied a knot against his sternum. Instinctual masking—a skill ingrained too strongly to abandon now—kept his hands from shaking, kept his heart from racing, but it didn’t feel like enough. Echoes of phantom pain crept up his forearms as if the black veins were still there. They weren’t. He kept glancing at the skin anyway, following the stretch down from his hands which somehow sat relaxed against his steering wheel.

Theo didn’t remember the drive to the school; he parked his truck mechanically, auto-pilot keeping his body moving when his mind wasn’t following along. It was concerning. There was safety in awareness, and yet he started missing everything.

He didn’t notice Liam’s gaze until a moment too late for it to seem natural. A foot already over the blacktop, Liam paused halfway in his attempt to climb out.

“Let’s go,” he repeated, and Theo didn’t follow. Instead, his eyes flicked away.

When he found his voice, it still sounded as stilted as it had when he spoke to Gabe. “You go ahead.” Liam’s pack—Scott’s pack—were surely waiting inside, and Theo had enough sense to know that the pardon they’d briefly granted him for the sake of a war wouldn’t last. It would be a pack reunion, a celebration, and Theo already felt disconnected enough without standing on the sidelines for their touching moment.

Liam stayed silent for a few beats. In the quiet, Theo glanced over to be met with an unreadable expression. Maybe he could’ve figured it out if he tried harder. He didn’t, instead waiting until Liam spoke. Almost abrasive, almost cold, but not quite there: “Are you leaving?”

Whether he meant the parking lot or Beacon Hills in general, Theo wasn’t sure. Either way, he answered honestly. “I don’t know.” Why would he stay, yet where would he go? The internal back-and-forth wasn’t unfamiliar.

Liam pressed his lips into a line then, looking at the school before turning to him again. After seeming to debate himself for a moment, he asked, “Are you okay?”

It caught Theo a little off-guard. Before he could try to think of any real answer to give, though, a response came out automatically. “I’m fine.” His steady heart concealed the lie, of course, but his low tone betrayed it. Still, he vaguely remembered digging the bullet out of his own shoulder at the hospital; physically, he was fine. That was what really mattered anyway. “Are you?”

Liam nodded dismissively, eyes somewhere else. “Fine.” Then, “Tired.”

With a slow nod back—even though Liam didn’t see it—Theo said, “Makes sense. You went through a lot.” Too soft. There was a hum in response. “…you should get in there before they think something bad happened.”

That seemed to wake Liam up, as if he’d forgotten where he was. “Right—“ He finished climbing out of the passenger’s seat, holding onto the edge of the door instead of closing it. A moment of hesitation followed before, “I need a ride home.”

A family full of people able to drive Liam home stood in that building and they both knew that. Part of Theo didn’t want to see any of them, including Liam, ever again. Another part couldn’t say no to their requests, as if that would ever mean anything. The same part always won out. “Yeah, I’ll drive you, Liam,” he said, quiet and knowing.

Letting out a breath, Liam nodded. “Okay.”

Smash

for the @teenwolffemslashcollection bingo event

prompt: enemies to lovers

[turbulenttroublethesecond]

look, not to make everything gay on main, but there is no platonic explication for theo's behaviour towards liam in season 6. absolutely none.

[turbulenttroublethesecond]

Parallel moments kinda

1. "I 100% would let you die here but I'll just grab your arm and pull you to safety for no reason"

2. That's just Liam being a passenger princess

3. Ghost Rider strangulation vs that one dude who said he'd leave you behind no problem if you were in danger

4. When the guy you're trying to help is self-sacrificing or smth but likes his friends so that's your argument whenever he's in the sacrifical lamb mood

5. Theo getting peer-pressured into helping

6. The elevator

7. Theo being enamoured over Liam's stupid plans

8. Actual murderer making sure you don't go down the murderer path

9. Theo becoming Liam's warning alarm whenever he starts getting pissed off

After a busy time at school (I got my batchelor degree yay!) and thus more than a month of not reading fanficion + the honours of finishing my TeenWolf rewatch

I decided to finally get back into my favourite hobby

YESTERDAY

And yesterday, I found a fic which sparked interest (multi chapter, slow burn, post canon,…)

And USUALLY when AO3 is down, it’s back up when I want to go on it… (being overseas and all)

But it’s not back up again and I felt like ranting

So thank you for hearing me out

[turbulenttroublethesecond]

hey so, that was pretty gay of you to throw the guy who said he wouldn’t save you into an elevator to save his life… just saying

[turbulenttroublethesecond]

(Tagging with as many medias as I can remember so it gets to more fandoms)

[turbulenttroublethesecond]

Every once in a while, I will re-read it.

Why? I don’t know, I like to hurt ig

Does anyone remember alone on the water?? I just remembered this fix exists and idk if I can go into work now because I am CRYING

[turbulenttroublethesecond]

If anyone out here is writing this, LET ME KNOW ASAP PLEASE

i think we should all start writing more theo and liam fistbumping. their almost-fistbump in 6x09 was irrationally hilarious to me, like, oh man you just shot a ghost rider and its accomplice with its own gun? fist bump me up. also it'd be so funny if one of them was helping someone else fight off a Beacon Hills Disaster (TM) , automatically offered up a fistbump after eliminating part of the threat, and got questioned instead of having it reciprocated

"??? do you usually fistbump people after killing a guy"

"he deserved it and i did a sick ass flip to knock him down. we're celebrating"
