Liam had just gotten home from school, followed into the house by Theo who had been picking him up from school for the last few weeks. He doesn't really know when it happened, he just knows it happened.

His heart started beating faster around the chimera, speeding up so rapidly that he thought the damn organ might escape his chest. Theo had commented on it once, but he dropped it shortly after Liam blamed it on lacrosse practice. He didn't even have practice that day, and he was pretty sure Theo knew this, but just didn't care to dig any further into it.

Right now, his heart was pounding once again. Liam was sure that smug bastard smirked when he heard it, he couldn't be sure, though. Sometimes, no matter how much Liam likes Theo, he still wants to punch him in the face. It might be just one of those things that never really change, he's fine with that, though. 

"Videogames?" Liam asked, rubbing his chest to ease his palpitations. 

Theo simply shrugged, already making his way to the stairs like he owned the place. Liam followed suite, finding Theo already sat on his bed, controller in hand and his PlayStation already booting up.

"What game?" Liam asked, noticing that Theo had already put a disc into the machine.

"Black Ops. It was already in." Theo shrugged.

Liam sat down next to him, taking the other controller "Free for all?"

"Sure." Theo replied simply.

"Get ready to lose, Raeken!" Liam growled out as he picked the game mode.

"Your ass is mine, Dunbar." Theo winked, causing Liam to blush. He was sure there was some sort of hidden meaning behind that. Or maybe, Theo just wanted him to be thinking about it so he wasn't focusing so much on the game. Sneaky bastard.

****

After a few rounds, Liam was pissed. Theo kept winning. Every. Single. Fucking. Time.

He was convinced Theo was cheating, that's the only logical explanation to him winning, there's no way that he's this good at the game. He's definitely using his powers. Liam threw the controller down, thankfully, the pile of clothes prevented it from damage.

"You're cheating!" Liam cried out.

"I told you, your ass is mine." Theo replied, stupid smirk stretched across his face.

"But.. but you literally came in first! How is that possible?!" Liam cried out once more, getting more and more annoyed the more he thought about it.

"And you didn't even make top three. I have skills you just don't have, Little Wolf."

That damn nickname, it made him forget everything the irritating man next to him had said. It's as though that simple nickname, coming from that damn chimera's mouth, was enough to calm him down at any time.

He stared at Theo, taking in every inch of his appearance before zoning in on his lips. His heart started doing those annoying somersaults once more. He wanted to know what they felt like.

So he leaned in.

Their lips pressed gently against each other, a shocked look appearing on both of their faces, before Theo's was replaced once more with that little smirk, the one he both loved and hated at the same time.

"If you wanted a kiss, you could've just asked." Theo spoke, voice dropping an octave as he did so.

"Shut up."
