Liam felt his body clash against the closed door of his bedroom. He groaned, immediately stifled by Theo's lips on his own, lips that were sought, tongues intertwined and hands that ran through each reachable flap of skin.
He did not even know how they had got at that point. A moment ago they were at the hospital, in front of Gabe's body, the next they were in the pick-up to Liam's house, and Liam had asked Theo to stay with him for that night, and a moment later, they were kissing hastily and urgently stumbling in the entrance and up the stairs.
Liam stumbled his hand away from Theo's back, groping around beside him to find the damned handle of the door. And when he found it, he turned it without hesitation. The pressure on the door caused it to open wide, and slam with a deafening clang. Fortunately, his parents were not at home that weekend!
Without separating even for a second, Theo trudged pushing Liam too and ending up on the beta's bed. Theo panted against his lips, hands gripping the sheets beneath him as he shifted his attention to Liam's neck and chest. Liam made a faint growl, pulling Theo's lips back against his, before reversing their positions with a quick move.
Theo chuckled "Bully"
"Shut up, Theo" Theo moved his hands back onto the beta back, sliding them under the shirt, caressing his skin with eagerness. Liam groaned when Theo bit his bottom lip hard, "Asshole" he whispered to him.
"Let me strip you" Theo commented, amused, sitting up and carrying Liam with him, now sitting on his lap. Theo quickly took off his shirt and then began to kiss him frantically. Liam instead grabbed Theo's shirt snatching it without much preamble, earning a judging glance from Theo. "That's the way you want it?" Theo challenged him.
And instead of letting himself fall down on his back, he pushed forward, so that Liam was back again below him. Liam let out a faint snarl before ending up again silenced by Theo's soft lips on his.
He thought perhaps that he could leave control in Theo. After all, what did he suppose to control? He did not even know what was happening right now, how it happened, how they got there and why. What they would do tomorrow, how they would look at each other. He only knew that he wanted Theo to continue to kiss him, now and all night long.
He felt Theo hands reach the button of his jeans and undo it. Liam gasped again against Theo's lips, and probably winced, because Theo separated himself from him a few millimeters, just to be able to speak looking into his eyes. "Have you ever done it?" He asked. "Yes," Liam snapped, amused.
"With a guy?"
"..No" he replied wavering this time.
"Do you want me to stop?"
"No!"
Theo chuckled before kissing him again, as he hardly freed him from his pants.
"Have you ever done it?" Liam panted.
"No, I never even kissed someone like this." Liam held back hardly from uttering a snarl of satisfaction at that phrase, and tried to ignore the idea of possession that had crossed his mind. But he could not avoid his hands reaching Theo's jeans, clinging to them firmly. He would have torn them like the shirt, if Theo had not stopped him. "Stop, tiger, I will still need of my clothes tomorrow" And he quickly got rid of it without further damage, getting on top of him again.
They struggled a little longer for the predominance, slipping in the meantime under the sheets and getting rid of all the clothes left on them. In the end, Theo had the better, and now was on top of Liam, the hands that nailed the wrists of the beta against the mattress, while the lips moved on his hot and sweaty body.
"How do you know what to do?" Liam asked weakly.
"I do not know, I go with my gut"
"Uh ... g-great," Liam panted, when Theo's lips left a plain mark on his neck, while the older boy settled better between the legs of the younger.
"Are you sure about this, Liam?" Theo asked him cautiously.
Hell, he would not have stopped even if he had wanted at that point "I'm not a damn little girl, Theo, just do it" the beta muttered, to which Theo obeyed, slipping slowly and awkwardly inside him. Liam girdled Theo's waist with his legs, plunging his nose into the hollow of Theo's shoulder and pulling him closer, while he repeated the undulating movement of his hips.
They went on all night long, until the tiredness got the better of them, and the adrenaline probably due to being survivors of a war disappeared, letting them sink into the warmth of sleep.

When he woke up the next day Liam was not surprised to find that the place next to his in the bed was empty. Theo was gone, and probably if he had woken up first, he would have gone too, the hell that that was his house.
What had happened between them? Hell, he just had sex with Theo Raeken. Scott would probably have disowned him as a son if he found out. Liam sighed again and plunged his head into the pillow, and at that moment a post-it slid down from the pillow next to his. Liam looked at him questioningly before taking it and reading it.
It was an incredible night, let's do it again sometimes;) PS. You snore
Bastard. Yet he could not help but suppress a smile as he closed his eyes again

"Tell me what we're doing here" Mason just said, stepping out of his car, which he had just parked outside the park.
"I told you, I need to get back to normal as soon as possible, so let's play lacrosse"
"Let's play lacrosse? Yesterday we almost died and today we play lacrosse?"
Liam nodded with a smile, closing the front door and opening the back door to catch the lacrosse stick. Mason imitated him by taking on his side a net full of balls.
"Okay, but you owe me at least a pizza" Mason said, returning the smile to his best friend.
They settled on the lawn a few yards away from each other, Liam with the stick in his hand and Mason with the balls at his feet, of which he held one in his hand.
"Anyway, you look far too relaxed for someone who's almost dead, I just couldn't sleep tonight" Mason complained, throwing him the ball, which Liam promptly grabbed. Then Mason chuckled. "If I did not know it's impossible, I would say that you look like someone who had sex"
Here, Liam is one of those people absolutely incapable of lying, so his expression at that moment had to be worth a thousand words, because Mason opened his eyes wide, stopping his hand in midair. "I can't believe it, you had sex"
"No," Liam replied, not at all convincing, with the look that went everywhere except on Mason.
"I can't believe it" Mason repeated. "Where did you find time to get laid? And with who again? And why did not you tell me?! I'm your best friend!"
"It's not such a big deal" Liam gave up lying, with Mason was useless. "It just happened. I was there, he was there, we were both alive, and a moment later we were both naked"
At that point Mason had opened his eyes so wide that Liam worried that they would drop at any moment. "He? He?! Have you slept with a guy?"
"What's so absurd? I told you, it just happened"
"These things don't just happened" Mason rolled his eyes. "Oh my god, now what will you tell me? That the one you had sex with was Theo Raeken?" He chuckled then.
Again, Liam's face had to be worth a thousand words because this time he got the ball straight against his nose. "Ouch, Mason!"
"Did you have sex with Theo fucking Reaken ?!"
"You know, could you scream louder? I'm sure Jackson and Ethan did not hear you in London"
"Liam, this is the most absurd thing I've heard since you told me you're a werewolf." Mason continued carelessly, but this time there was a strange smirk on his face. "So, how was it?"
This time Liam blushed. "Mason!"
"You can not expect that I don't ask you about it"
"I should not tell you since you just broke my nose with a lacrosse ball"
"It will heal" Mason said with a wave of his hand. "Soo? Theo?"
Liam rolled his eyes and stared at the ground as he struck it distractedly with the lacrosse stick "It was strange, nice though. I don't ... I don't even know what that means. I never thought about it before yesterday"
"Perhaps you were attracted to him even before, but the fear amplified by the Anuk-ite kept you from feeling it. Then when he died, it exploded"
"Exploded is the right word" Liam shook his head, blushing. "Anyway, I told you, it doesn't mean anything. Theo and me are just friends, period"
"What does he say?"
Liam shrugged. "I do not know, this morning when I woke up, he was gone"
"He left after sex?"
"He left a post-it"
"He left a post it" Mason repeated impassively. "And let's hear, what did this post-it say?"
"Um ... It was an incredible night ..."
"Aw so sweet"
"Let's do it again sometimes with a wink"
"I withdraw everything, what an asshole"
"And he wrote me that I snore, in a PS"
"So romantic"
The two remained silent for a while, looking at each other. "And now?" Mason asked.
Liam shrugged. "Weren't we here to play lacrosse?"
Mason rolled his eyes. "I meant with Theo"
"Ah" Liam looked around. "Let's play lacrosse that's better"
Mason sighed, and if another ball would hit Liam on the nose, perhaps he would not have minded.

The next day Liam decided to take another break from school. He was not ready to see everyone again. On the other hand, his mother had looked at his unkempt look with a judgmental eye, and had forced him into a chair while she patiently cut his hair.
Once in his room, he stared at the mirror. He liked short hair, but they made him look like a kid, as if he was sixteen years old. He grabbed the hood of the sweatshirt and put it on his head as if he did not want to look and threw himself deadweight on the bed.
He sighed and could not help thinking of Theo. It was almost two days that he did not see him. That bastard really wanted to disappear after-
He heard something hit the window violently. He sat up, and stood up to open it, just as what looked like a stone hit the glass and bounced back. Liam opened the window, and the stone this time hit his forehead.
"Sorry" To hear that voice at that moment made him almost forget about the stone, and he turned to look down, where Theo grinned amused.
"What the hell are you doing under my window?"
"I draw your attention"
"Do you know that they invented mobile phones?" Liam followed Theo with his eyes "-or the entrance doors?" He added when he saw him climb up the wall until he reached the windowsill.
"So it would not be fun"
Liam snorted. "Oh Theo, Theo, why are you, Theo?" He teased then.
"Do you know that this makes you Juliet?"
"Fuck you, I'm not Juliet" he exclaimed, backing away to make room for him.
Theo stood up, settling his crumpled sweatshirt, chuckling. "But you have long enough hair to be her"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but my hair is gone" he said, pulling the hood out to show him his new hairstyle.
"Oh my god, I feel like I'm back in time. Even the height is still the same "
"Fuck you, again"
Theo laughed again, looking at Liam sitting at the end of the bed. The beta looked up and looked at Theo's, now serious. And for the first time since he had arrived, he felt himself blushing at the thought of two nights before.
"Um ... where have you been?" He asked to quench the tension. Theo sighed as he sat next to him. "Around, I checked the preserve to make sure everything is okay"
Liam looked at him. "You should not do these things alone"
"I can take care of myself"
"I know you can take care of yourself, it's about others that I'm worried about"
"Ah-ah funny"
Silence again fell. Think of something, think of something-
"Listen, Liam ..." Theo cleared his throat. Liam did everything to keep his heart from accelerating. He would not have given that bastard the satisfaction of seeing him nervous for him. "By the way ... about the other night, I ..."
"Yes, the other night ... it was ... it was ..."
"Strange?" Theo suggested.
"Strange" He agreed. They looked at each other for a moment, as if it were not the word they wanted to use.
"Here I ... I do not want to ruin things, I know that things have happened between us, but we're starting to get along, and I do not want pulling everything off, neither with you, nor with rest of the pack"
"Ye-yeah you are right. It just happened. It will not happen again and we'll never talk about it again. Just friends as before, right?" Liam mumbled. "Okay, maybe more than before"
Theo laughed. "Okay, it seems like we have a deal"
They fell silent again, then Liam cleared his throat. "Me and Mason are going to eat a pizza tonight- Probably Corey too. Do you want to join us?" Theo looked at him a second before smiling and nodding "Okay, sure"
"Well, let's go then"
They got up together, Liam pointing at the door and Theo at the window. "Seriously?" Liam asked him.
"See you down" Theo laughed before stepping over the sill. Liam rolled his eyes and left the room, closing the door behind him.
