Night Changes: Teen Wolf Vampire AU

Accidentally in Love

"How did it go with your dad," Theo asked cautiously.

Stiles sighed, a pensive expression on his face as he recounted the events that had taken place that afternoon.

"It went," he replied vaguely, tone hardly readable as he sat down at the edge of the bed, elbows resting on his thighs and hands coming up to his temples.

Theo came and sat down next to him, putting a comforting arm around the other's tense shoulders.

"That bad?" Theo asked.

Stiles paused for a moment before slowly shaking his head. He looked down at his hands that now rested in his lap.

"It wasn't bad. I'm actually really glad I️ saw him. It's just..." he began for trailing off.

He looked up, gaze straight ahead but appearing half spaced. Theo gave him a confused look in response.

"It's just...?" Theo prompted.

"It's just he wants everything to go back to normal. And I️ get it, I️ do, I️ just can't," Stiles explained.

Theo gave Stiles' shoulder a comforting squeeze, prompting Stiles to lean his head on Theo's shoulder.

"He's been accepting and everything and I️ don't want him to think he did anything wrong, you know? I️ just...I don't know," Stiles continued.

"I know," Theo said before kissing the top of Stiles' head.

The two stayed like that for a while, Stiles clinging to the comfort of his boyfriend holding him before they got on with the rest of their night.

Later that night, after Stiles had drifted off to sleep, Theo was still awake, his thoughts running wild as he spooned his sleeping boyfriend. He inhaled deeply, taking in the vampire's scent. He could still hardly believe it all, having Stiles this close to him. He felt like he could just stay like that forever and...

Theo shot up suddenly, his own thoughts being interrupted by a surge of panic.

Unfortunately, this caused Stiles to wake up.

The vampire turned and slowly sat up.

"Are you okay?" he asked Theo.

Theo nodded quickly.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm good. I️ just need some air," he said.

"Air? What time is it?" Stiles asked, checking his phone.

It was 2:14 am.

"It's the middle of the night," Stiles pointed out sleepily.

Theo shrugged as he got out of bed.

"So? If anything someone like me is the reason other people should be scared to go out at night," he said cockily. As a chimera, he didn't have too many reservations about going out on his own: he could defend himself just find.

Stiles rolled his eyes, annoyed even in his half conscious state.

"Whatever," Stiles said with a dismissive hand gesture before crashing back into the bed.

Theo sighed before he made himself decent and headed out. He walked around for a while, trying to think about literally anything but Stiles. So, of course, just his luck: all he could think about was Stiles. And that freaked him out.

In that moment he knew one thing: he was in way too deep.

He ended up not sleeping at all that night, and even left for school early just to avoid Stiles. That afternoon, he said he needed to catch up on some work and stayed behind in the library. Immediately, Stiles knew something was up.
