What if I Stayed? (Thiam Fic)

Chapter Five

Theo felt ridculous. The girl's had gotten him out of his usual hoodie and jeans, saying he had to have a outfit that actually suited him. Fashion was not his thing but Lydia Martin was a genius and expert in all things, men's fashion included. 

"A black croptop and these jeans." Lydia had shoved them into his hands, "do you have any chains?"

"Jesus christ Lyds, this is ridiculous." Theo groaned, staring at the clothing, "I'm gonna look so terrible."

"Nonsense Theo. This plan is called 'Theo's a whore' for a reason, isn't it?"

"That was a joke!" He spluttered, looking to Malia and Kire for emotional support but Malia was too busy taking videos and pictures while Kira just shrugegd helplessly. "This croptop is so small, the jeans are loose and this is a terrible idea."

"You'll look great." Lydia patted his back, "It's tight and black with barely any stomach showing, trust me, there are worse ones. The jeans are nice and we can adjust them to show the top of you boxers a little bit."

"Lydia! We're at school!" Theo had worn croptops before. Gayclubs, clubs, meetings with hookups or just group hangouts in the summer. School though? No, he was good.

"Trust me Raeken. This'll drive Liam crazy." Lydia began pushing to the bathroom to get changed, "Can I get some support from you two ladies?"

"I think everyone will be drooling over you. Men in croptops is hot." Kira tried to add, being helpful as Theo undressed out of sight. "You've got this Theo! Take one for the team."

"You'll be great. You flirt with guys all the time in like wayyy less clothing." Malia yelled and Theo could tell she was smiling. 

When he was done, Theo walked out of the changeroom, expecting the girls to burst out laughing but instead, Malia and Kira looked shocked while Lydia had a smug smile on her face.

"I told you it would be hot." Lydia clapped her hands together, walking over and adjusting the fabric on his body.

There was a two inch gap from the ending of the shirt to the beginning of the jeans. It was like a cropped, tight vest. Theo could see his V-line, abbs and the outline of his pecks. Not to mentioned his arms were defined as fuck while wearing this.

"I still feel stupid." Theo complained as Lydia adjusted the baggy jeans. They were a light demin with some dark smiley faces on them in a few places. 

"Trust me Theo, this'll work."

Liam was in the gym. At least, that's what the text from Malia told him. He tried to make his way through the school without being stared at but wherever he went, Theo felt eyes on him. In a weird way, it boosted his confidence, knowing that people were most definitely checking him out. His phone buzzed and Theo pulled it out to read the text.

The Pack:

sTiLeS: THEO HURRY TF UP MAN. HES ALONE IN THE GYM AND WE NEED OUR RESIDENT SLUT ASAP MAN. GO GO GO GO.

Theo rolled his eyes and started running to the gym, arriving in minutes. He took a deep breath, slowing his pulse and calming his breath. If this didn't work. they were going to have to kidnap this kid.

"Oh hey Liam." Theo walked in, startling Liam who was using some arm machine. As their eyes met, Liam's eyes widened and his eyes began to scan Theo's body, up and down. Theo moved past the blush creeping up his cheeks and smirked, confidence returning to him. "Like what you see?"

"I just haven't seen you wear something like that before." Liam shrugged but Theo heard his heartbeating faster and saw the blush. "Yesterday you were wearing a hoodie and jeans."

"Still got the jeans part." Theo walked over and inspected the machine Liam was using, wondering how much weight the newly turned wolf was pushing. "Anyways, I wanted to talk to you."

Theo heard his heart speed up and watched the visible tension in his body, turning to stone at the words talk. "About what?"

"Nothing bad babe, I promise." Theo laughed, not noticing the words that had left his mouth but Liam definitely noticed, staring at him in shock. He took a seat scross from the sweaty boy. "It's about a party. Tonight."

"Huh?" 

"I need someone to go with and I thought 'why not take the cute new kid'?" Liam coughed, choking on the air in shock. Theo grinned again at how easily Liam seemed to blush or react to compliments. 

"You think I'm cute?"

"Who wouldn't? Surprised you dont have the girls lined up to take you out," Theo raised an eyebrow, trying to read him, "Or boys."

"Thanks. Yeah, I'd love to go with you." Liam's eyes seemed to grow twice in size as he realized what he'd said, "Uh I mean it would be cool and all. Like fun. You know-"

"Liam, calm down." Theo chuckled, standing up and walking over to him, slightly pressing into the younger boy as he did so. "Let me grab your number though, so I can pick you up. This party's a Lydia Martin special. You won't want to miss it for anything."

Liam smiled, grabbing the phone that Theo had pulled out. Theo continued pressing his hip into his shoulder, aware of how he was making him shake slightly and watching how Liam kept looking over only to avert his gaze again.

When the smell of arousal hit his nose at the same time Liam adjusted in his seat, Theo nearly gasped in shock, pretending he had something in his throat as Liam handed him back his phone, avoiding eye contact.

"Thanks babe," Again the petname just slipped out, "I'll be seeing you later."

The second Theo was gone, Liam looked up, staring at his yellow eyes in the gym mirror and feeling panic take hold. Why the fuck were his eyes glowing?
