Him or me?

Moving in

The two boys took Theo's things upstairs and got him settled in. Liam put Theo's clothes in the dresser while Theo put his bag and shoes in the closet.

Once they got his things set up, Liam gave Theo a tour of the house. Theo asked questions about things in each room.

Liam told him the house rules and made sure he knew not to throw party's. His response was simply, "you're literally my only friend, I couldn't even throw one if I wanted to."

Liam laughed at his response.

"Okay, so now that your settled in and know the rules, your all set." Liam said.

"Your 100% sure it's ok for me to stay here?" Theo asked.

"Yeah, I could use some company anyway." Liam said.

"Okay." Theo said with a tad of uncertainty in his voice.

"What?" Liam asked curiously.

"Nothing, it's just... it's been a while since I've done this." Theo said.

"Done what?" Liam asked.

"Stayed with someone... slept in a bed... had someone who actually cared enough about me to welcome me into their home.. just, all of it." Theo explained.

"Well I think it's been long enough. You deserve a fresh start Theo. This doesn't have to be permanent if your uncomfortable with it. Just let me help you until you get back on your feet." Liam said.

"Jesus, you sound like a charity case." Theo sighed.

"That's not what I meant, Theo." Liam said.

"No, I know, I know. Thank you, Liam. Seriously. I'm sorry, I'm just not used to being cared for." Theo explained.

"I think it's time that changes." Liam said with a smile.

"Go take a shower, I'll order food. You can pick a movie we can watch." Liam said.

Theo's heart fluttered at the scenario he planned out. Dinner and a movie? With Liam? Theo was quick to agree to that plan.

Theo went into his room to take a shower. Liam went downstairs and ordered a pizza.

Theo was downstairs and in a loose tank top and sweatpants in about 15 minutes.

"Hey, Li." Theo greeted when he saw Liam on the couch.

Liam stared at Theo. His muscles showing through his tank top. His face heated up at the sight. He shook his head.

"Hey, how was the shower?" Liam asked.

"Amazing, actually." Theo responded.

"Good." Liam smiled.

Then the doorbell rang.

"Oh- perfect timing. Here, pick a movie." Liam said getting up to answer the door, handing the remote to Theo.

Theo slowly walked to sit on the couch. He browsed through the movies. Liam came back to the couch and sat next to him. He sat the pizza on the coffee table and handed Theo one of the waters he grabbed from the fridge while Theo was in the shower.

"Thanks." Theo said.

"So, what movie are you thinking?" Liam asked.

"I'm not sure, can you pick?" Theo asked.

"You sure?" Liam asked.

"Yeah." Theo said.

"Okay, I'll just put on Vampire Diaries then." Liam said.

"Okay." Theo smiled biting into a slice of pizza.

They watched TVD for a few minutes before Theo spoke up again.

"Is this what you do every night?" Theo asks.

"Pretty much, like I said, the company is nice." Liam said.

Theo smiled at Liam.

The boys watched and ate for the next two hours. They both passed out on the couch. Liam woke up around 3:00.

He looked around and saw Theo still sleeping.

"Theo." He whispered.

"Theo, wake up." He said a little louder shaking Theo's shoulder.

Theo jolted up.

"Woah, woah, hey. Relax it's just me." Liam said.

"Oh- sorry." Theo said rubbing his eyes.

Liam thought it was adorable.

"C'mon, let's go to bed we have school in the morning." Liam said.

"Okay." Theo said.

The two boys walked upstairs and went their separate ways to their rooms. No matter how badly they wanted to sleep next to each other, they still split ways.

Theo fell asleep almost immediately, but Liam was up for a while just thinking about how he feels towards certain people.
