"Are you ready for the full moon next week?" Sam asked Eli as he leaned next to her new locker as she put her things inside it.

"I mean I'm nervous of course." Eli said as his hand unknowingly reached forward, his fingers playing with the belt buckle on her jeans.

"I just don't want to freak out and hurt someone, especially you." Eli worriedly said as he leaned his head against the one of the locker's.

Sam closed her locker and turned her body so that she was facing him "you won't hurt anyone." Sam reassured the boy in front of her making him shrug "You never know." Sam looked up at him and gave him a small smile "but I do, you're strong enough and I really believe in you." Sam said making Eli look down at her with a smile.

Eli pulled Sam towards him by her buckle, Sam almost immediately tripped into his chest before he leaned forward to press a quick kiss to her lips.

"God I love you." Eli dreamily said as his eyes bounced back from her eyes to her lips making Sam gave him a satisfied smirk "I know." She said smugly as she walked past him and began making her way down the hall.

Eli turned and looked at her in shock before quickly running after her "hey! wait for me."

As the school day went on Sam mostly kept to herself, she was really bummed to find out that her and Eli only had two classes together, one at the beginning of the day and one at the end.

So when school ended she met Eli near the locker rooms, waiting for him to enter.

When Eli came around the corner with his lacrosse bag in hand he looked at her with a smile.

"You here to watch your amazing boyfriend practice." Eli proudly smiled as he stood in front of her, sitting his bag down right by his feet.

"Well that and you're my ride home." Sam shrugged making Eli give her a fake hurt look "wow I can't believe you." He said as his hand laid over his heart.

"You know I'm kidding." Sam rolled her eyes with a smile "plus I have to talk to coach about when the next tryouts are." Sam signed as she saw coach walk out of his office from the corner of her eye.

"Which I better do now." Sam said as she leaned forward and pressed a kiss to Eli's cheek "good luck." She said before running after coach as he yelled at two of his players in the hall.

"So what did coach say?" Eli asked as he dropped his backpack on the floor by his couch before flopping backwards into it.

Sam walked around the back of the couch and placed her bag near his before Eli reached forward and pulled her into his lap.

Sam's legs laid across his knees as she wrapped her one arm around his shoulder so she can face him comfortably.

"He said tryouts are next semester, which is perfect considering this one is almost over." Sam spoke as Eli looked up at her, his hand on her thigh as his one arm was wrapped around her waist.

"That's good, plus you won't have to worry about making the team because, I know for a fact you will." Eli smiled with a shrug.

Sam gave him a smile before leaning down and connecting their lips together.

As their lips moved together Sam felt Eli's grip on her waist tighten, Sam smiled as she fixed her position as she moved to straddle his legs as she placed one of her hands on his cheek and the other played with his hair, as Eli's hands remained at her waist.

To caught up in the moment, they didn't hear the sound of the front door opening, so when Derek cleared his throat making them jump from each other as he look at the teens with a stern look.

Sam's face turned red in embarrassment as she hid her face into the back of the couch cushions.

"Hello Sam." Derek said as he crossed his arms over his chest. Sam slowly lifted her head up and gave him an awkward smile "h-i" she strutted out.

Holy shit I wanna disappear.

"Do you mind giving me a second to talk to Eli?" Derek asked as Sam immediately nodded her head, wanting to get out of there as quick as possible.

"Yeah totally." She said before turning to Eli "um I'll be in your room." She said before picking up her backpack and rushing down the Hale household and into Eli's room, making sure to shut the door after her.

Eli made eye with his dad, knowing by the look on his face what he knew what conversation was was gonna come up.

"You know next time I come home, I would appreciate it if the first thing I didn't see is my son and his girlfriend making out on my couch." Derek said as he raised his brow.

"Oh god." Eli whispered before standing up "yeah it won't happen again, just caught up in the moment." He said as he grabbed his bag from the ground, trying to escape the conversation.

"Are you having sex?" Derek asked out of nowhere making Eli's eyes widen "dad! what? no." Derek rested his hands on his hips "are you sure? Because if you are can at least be safe because I'm too young to become a grandfather."

"Oh my god, I'm leaving this conversation." Eli shook his head is disbelief as he began walking towards the hall.

"There's condoms in the bathroom." Derek said from behind him making Eli turn to look back at him.

"Oh my god, dad please stop!"

I low key wanna make a Theo Reaken fanfic. Thoughts?

And I love that Eli's love language is Physical touch. 😭 He's like a little puppy dog
