A/N: I might start doing a kind of Liam POV because right now I'm more focused on Theo's thoughts and feelings about things. Lemme know. Also Scisaac was canon in the past during this fanfic (there is a brief mention). and i did change the ages to a one year difference.
-----------
Theo checked his phone. There were some new messages from Kira, Lydia and Malia in their groupchat that he had been added to but nothing much. Scott had been strangely quiet since his last text saying Liam was at the hospital. Definitely suspicous considering Scott was a frequent texter, especially when he stressed or tired. Or bored. Or upset.

Theo chuckled at Kira's overexcitement and happiness at finally having kissed her crush since she'd moved to Beacon Hills. There was a twinge of something though. Something that Theo didn't like as he knew it was not something he should be feeling at his friend's successful relationships. It was envy.
He'd never been one for relationships. The short term boyfriend or hookups that stuck around for a little bit too long here and there but relationships with love? Never. Mostly he stuck to hookups and one night stands, not those lovey dovey romantic relationships. He'd never held hands or been on a date that wasn't just for sex.
All of his friends though? They managed to have some form of relationship. Lydia with Jackson and Aiden, Stiles with Malia and Scott with... well everyone. There was Allison, Isaac and now there was Kira. Theo had seen what relationships or even crushes could do to you though. Lydia and Scott had both lost their partners not even a year ago. Remembering the gut wrenching scream that Lydia had let out when she saw Aiden's body or the broken look in Scott's eyes whenever anything that reminded him of Alison or Isaac (he had only moved but they hadn't stayed in contact as far Theo knew) came up was enough to push him off of romantic interest in anyone.
So why was Liam coming to mind? Why in the midst of all this romantic angst was Liam Dunbar, the person he'd met just hours ago and had barely spoken to, coming to mind. Liam was probably straight and they had just met.
"Fuck me." Theo groaned, rolling off of the bed. Maybe it was his werewolf senses or just his dumbass meter but Theo could tell that Scott and Stiles were up to something. Or maybe Theo was bored, lonely and wanted to get his mind off his mental state.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Theo was nearly at the house when he saw someone sprint from Scott's house. They were running like their life depended on it. Before he could see who it was, they rounded the corner and were gone. Bad sign. Theo run towards Scott's house and pushed open the front door, looking around wildly before something grabbed his leg and tugged harshly. Theo's heart skipped a beat as he turned to the ground.
"I got him!" Stiles yelled writhing around with Scott beside him. His arms were wrapped around Theo's legs.
"I got him too!" Scott was holding onto Stiles tightly.
"You do not got whoever just ran from the house." Theo stated calmly, trying not to laugh at them. Both boys sat up quickly, heads whipping around.
"Shit! He got away." Scott flopped onto his back again.
"How we were- a crime slueth and a true alpha, outsmarted by some sophomore human kid!" Stiles cursed, standing up and starting to pace, "this Scott, is why I make the plans!"
"I bit him, what was I supposed to do?"
"Not tie him up with ductape and lock him in your bathroom!"
"Not my best plan-"
"You guys kidnapped someone?" Theo laughed, shocked at what he was hearing until something else clicked. Scott bit someone. He turned a human into a werewolf. "Wait you bit someone? Who?"
"There was an incident at the hospital. A wendigo tried to kill my mom-"
"What?"
"Wendigos are those cannibal shapeshifters." Stiles added from the spot he'd taken on the floor, his hand raised like he was in class.
"I know I'm just trying to process this." Theo snarled, "Continue."
"So wendigo tried to kill my mom but then it got Liam somehow and we were on the roof. It threw Liam off the roof and I was tryna catch him while also fighting the wendigo and he was gonna slip because he couldn't hold on so..." Scott took a breath from rambling. A habit him and Kira had in common. Match made in heaven.
"So you bit him." Theo finished the sentence. To his own shock, there was an undertone of anger to his words.
"I didn't have a choice."
"Jesus christ." Theo cursed, kicking some random items on the ground, "Scott, you know what it's like to be one of us. The hunters, the fights, the shit we deal with. We can't do that to him."
"It wasn't like I thought it would be fun!" Scott replied, and Theo realized he was just as upset as him. It hit him; not only was Scott feeling guilt but fear for the hunters that might come after him for turning someone.
"What do we do now?"
