Isaac woke up very warm. Warmer than usual, and he liked having a lot of blankets. Like, a lot, a lot. Liam kept getting them for him for Christmas if he had enough money. He'd been collecting them for years. However, this was a very different feeling. There was also a weight pushing down on him, and for a moment he felt like he couldn't breath. He tried to shift, but it wrapped tighter around him and it became even harder to breathe.

His eyes blinked open and he looked down. He'd been sleeping on his back, his head on the pillow, y'know, like most people would. Scott, on the other hand, was laying at a 180 degree angle, his legs hanging off the side of the bed, and his head resting on the center of Isaac's chest. One of his arms was trapped under Isaac's body. The other was wrapped around his stomach, secured with his hand on his hip.

Isaac huffed and smiled. He lifted his left hand, which was resting over Scott's waist, and ran it up his arm, to his shoulder, and then down his spine. Scott shifted and pressed his face more into Isaac's chest. Isaac huffed again, watching has Scott's head shifted against his chest at the action.

He ran his hand gently through Scott's hair. He scratched his head gently and Scott subconsciously pushed towards the movement. Isaac smiled.

He looked over at Scott's alarm clock- 7:43

"Fuck," Isaac jerked up onto his elbows.

"Shit," Scott groaned, "What happened, what's wrong?" Scott sat up looking around through hooded eyes. Rubbing them trying to focus.

Isaac rested his hand on Scott's shoulder, squeezing it so he'd calm down a little.

"It-it's fine, just, sorry I can't believe it's already almost 8:00. God, I left Liam at the house. We-we haven't spent a night in different places in years." Isaac was rubbing his eyes.

Scott smiled, still tired, at him, "Liam's fine don't worry. Do you wanna get up though? We might have something for breakfast, something fast so you can go home and make sure he's okay."

Isaac nodded, through his legs off the side of the bed, "Yeah, okay, thanks."

The two of them got up, and dressed. Isaac borrowed some of Scott's clothes. The sweats he gave him were just slightly too short. Before they left to go downstairs, Scott pulled Isaac into a kiss.

"Last night was really really nice," He smiled.

"Yeah, it really was," Isaac smiled back at him.

Scott ran his hand down Isaac's arm, to his hand, and took it in his, "Not just the sex part, but like, sleeping next to you, I really liked it."

Isaac squeezed his hand and kissed him, "I really liked it too."

They walked out of Scott's room hand in hand, Scott pulling Isaac slightly. He stopped in front of a door and knocked.

"Theo! You up? Hungry?" There was no response. He knocked again, nothing. He turned it slightly and looked in. He wasn't there.

"Huh, he must have stayed at your place."

"What?" Isaac said.

'He's not here, so he must have stayed at your place." Scott said again.
"Oh my god," Isaac bolted into Scotts room, grabbed his phone and keys and ran down the stairs.

'Woah! Woah! What's wrong. I thought you said that was fine!" Scott yelled following him.

"Yup! 'Was' fine. But we just had sex, and I remembered that I first had sex when I was his age and... nope, not thinking about that, don't, I just, no. I gotta go." Isaac was running out to his car. He opened the door, throwing his backpack in it. He was about to get in when he turned around and ran over to where Scott was standing in the yard. "I'm sorry," he said, trying to breathe. He kissed Scott.

"It's okay," Scott chuckled, "he's your brother. And believe me if Theo messes with him I already told you we'd handle it."

"Thank you!" He kissed him again and jumped in his car, driving back to the house.




Theo jolted at the sound of a loud bang. Sitting up but keeping his arm securely around Liam, who also attempted to sit up at the sound. Far less gracefully, however. He would have fallen off the couch if it wasn't for Theo.

Liam flailed trying to locate the source of the noise when he caught Theo staring, eyebrows raised, in the direction of the door. He followed Theo's eyes and landed on a, seemingly out of breath, Isaac, standing in the doorway.

Liam rolled so he was sitting on the couch normally, "Uh, hey, are you okay?" he asked Isaac slowly.

Isaac tried to catch his breath, "Yup... just fine... sorry... really tired," He coughed.

'Do you need water or something?" Theo asked.

"Nope, no... all good, very sorry... uh.... Theo, Melissa wanted to talk to you... so.... maybe go do that," Isaac put on a fake cheery expression.

Theo looked at Liam with a raised eyebrow. Liam just shrugged.

"Uh, okay, sure," Theo made his way off the couch. He grabbed his jacket from where it was thrown on the chair, and made his way to the door. "See you later Li," He said, confusion still laced in his voice, "you too Isaac."

The minute Theo stepped out the door, Isaac slammed it shut and took a deep breath.

Liam looked at him, waiting for an explanation, but Isaac just stood there awkwardly.

"Okay, are you gonna explain what the hell that was?" Liam asked.

Isaac avoided his eyes reaching up to grip his hair in his hands., "Uh...."

"Isaac," Liam said more sternly, "What's wrong?"

Isaac sighed, dropping his hands, "Did... did you two..."

Liam starred, still confused, 'Did we... what?"

Isaac groaned, "Y'know, did you two... do something... yesterday... when I was... out,"

Liam was just more confused, "I mean, yeah, we watched a movie and stuff. Turns out he really likes Disney."

Isaac looked like he might rip his hair out, "Jesus Christ," he whispered, "Liam." He said sternly.

"Yes?" Liam asked, eyebrows raised.

"Did you and Theo sleep together/" Isaac finally got out.

Liam immediately felt his eyes widen and his cheeks flush a deep red, his mouth felt suddenly dry, and he felt like his body was curling in on itself.

'W-what?" He managed to get out, barely.

"Liam, I know you heard me. Just... did you?"

"No! No we did not! Why would you? What even... what the hell!" Liam said exasperated, "You kicked him out on a Sunday morning so you could ask me THAT?"

"I did not kick him out!" Isaac retorted.

Liam rolled his eyes, face still red, 'We all knew you were lying about Melissa wanting to talk to him."

Isaac looked a little embarrassed, "Sorry... I just wasn't sure about you spending the night... alone... in an empty house... with a guy."

Liam crossed his arms, "You spent the night, alone, with a guy, and you actually did 'something'"

Isaac blushed profusely, "How do you know that?"

"Those are not your pants," Liam said, pointedly.

'How do you know? I could have gotten more!" Isaac whined.

Liam stared at him for a moment, "Then why do they say 'Beacon Hills Lacrosse' on them?"

Isaac looked down at them, 'fuck' he thought. "Okay, so we did stuff, this is different!"

"How? We didn't even do anything, we just fell asleep watching a movie. If you had come how we would have gotten up and he would have gone home. Plus you he literally told me you said it was okay!" Liam raised an eyebrow.

"That was before I had time to think about it a bit," Isaac replied, "And this," He gestured around the room, "is very different. You're 16."

"You were 16," Liam said.

"I really hate that I told you," Isaac said.

"You were sleep deprived and tipsy, it's fine. But seriously, I'm sixteen! I'm actually closer to being 17 than you were."

Isaac was trying to find the words, "I can't... I don't know how to describe it."

"Okay, then figure it out. But before than, maybe don't worry about my non-existent sex life, which, for the record, is non-existent, so I don't know why you're freaking out," Liam made his way up the stairs to his room so he could pass out on his bed.

He sent a quick 'sorry for my brother being weird and kicking you out for no reason text' before falling asleep.

Theo was laying down in his own bed, and laughed at the message.


Theo- It's fine, is everything okay?

Liam- yeah he was just being weird

Theo- Well Scott is being weird now too. He kept giving me weird looks when I walked in. I couldn't quite place what it was.

Liam- yeah really it's fine Iz is just weird about me being home alone at night 

Theo- You weren't alone though.

Liam- i meant alone from him not just alone

Liam- sry

Theo- It's okay. He's protective of you. You were legitimately kidnapped a week ago. I wouldn't want you being alone either.

Liam- yeah i guess thats part of it

Theo- Is there another part?

Liam- yeah

Theo- Do you mind me asking what it is?

Liam- depends

Liam- you busy?

Theo- Yes, actually. Turns out Melissa did actually have to talk to me about some school stuff. I thought Isaac was lying but maybe his heart was just skipping because he was freaked out.

Liam- ok

Liam- can we talk tomorrow maybe?

Liam- after school

Theo- Sure. Just tell me where and I'll be there.

Liam- :) how about I dont tell you where

Theo- Why?

Liam- you'll figure it out

Liam- meet me at 3?

Theo- I'll try my best.
