14 - I'm what?

«God, luckily you came back,» Lydia attacked him as soon as he saw him enter the door «I was about to kill him.»

«he looks like a child, doesn't he?» Theo chuckled and she nodded with a smile.

«ehy, I hear you.» Liam shouted from upstairs making them laugh louder. 

Lydia approached him, placing a hand on his shoulder and moving close to his ear, so the other would not hear them «you have to tell him. I think he would be quite happy,» the banshee said «as soon as he woke up he did nothing, but look for you.»

Theo blushed slightly, biting his cheek and nodding, while the other one winked at him and walked out of the house. Theo rushed upstairs, finding Liam sitting on his bed with his legs crossed, torturing his hands. 

As soon as he felt the presence of the other he turned to look at him, and his eyes lit up, suddenly calm «ehy.» Liam smiled at him, and his heart jumped like a drum, as he approached him and handed him the box of chocolate ice cream that he had bought, along with a spoon. 

«how are you?» the chimera asked him going up on the bed and sitting next to him. Liam nodded, taking a large bite of ice cream, which made the other smile «Stiles is right. You have a problem with sugars.»

«it's good.» the other one complained.

«Liam.» he called him with a sigh making him put down the spoon. 

«what?» he said.

«what happened in the woods?»

«I don't know. I hadn't even thought about it until now. Suddenly I felt cold and felt like I was back in that cell, with pain from cuts and fractures everywhere. The electric shocks that made me jump, and the ice that crept into the bones. Until I lost consciousness.» the little one murmured with watery eyes. 

He didn't want to think about it and he shut them reflexively, while the chimera took his hand and squeezed it in his.

Liam opened them again, and gave him a soft smile, intertwining his fingers without any embarrassment. There was something in him that shouted how right it was. How, somehow, he felt a sense of belonging to the chimera, and he really hoped that the other would feel what he felt.

«you should have told me what they did to you.» Theo said, but the beta shook his head. 

«I didn't think it was necessary.» he replied.

«it was. What happened today would not have happened.» the oldest said.

«why were you by Derek's?» Liam asked instead. 

Theo jumped a little at his question «we wanted to understand what happened to you all of a sudden.»

«Lydia said that you brought me back.» Liam continued squeezing his fingers.

«yes, I- I couldn't bear seeing you like that.» Theo murmured.

«how did you do it?»

«I don't know.» the chimera lied leaning against the headboard of the bed. 

Liam bit his lip, and then squeezed the other's fingers, leaning closer to him and giving him an embarrassed look «I know you're lying,» Liam sighed «your heart, I can hear it.»

Theo swallowed, leaning his head back while Liam leaned against his shoulder, making his heartbeat speed up.

[...]

«so are you okay now? I mean, really okay?» Mason asked for the millionth time making him snort. 

«I'm fine, and I'm even better because in a week the holidays start.» Liam said with a smile.
