the way i loved you

conflicted.

A/N: turns out this chapter is very short, like only 700 words short and mostly dialogue, so please accepted my apology in advance.

"Yeah... oh," Liam sighed.

Theo tried to look at Liam, but it was no use.

Liam wasn't even looking at him anymore, just staring down blankly at the floor, where his eyes appeared to be glued.

Leaving Theo to sit in the silence that he'd help to create.

The words in his brain couldn't seem to form a sentence.

What was he supposed to say?

He tried unscrambling the words, but came up with nothing.

Nothing.

"It's fine, okay?" Liam said, brushing it off.

He watched as Liam picked his bag up, and walked up to him, shoving him out of his way.

Something sank inside him, as Liam got closer to the door, closer to leaving.

Theo had finally realised how Liam felt.

He had given Liam a thousand of thought, and given them a million, but Theo had never given the consequences any.

His breathing became shallow, it felt as if he was trapped in between two walls and they were closing in on him.

"Liam?" he whispered.

"What?" Liam seethed.

"I- I can't-" Theo said, pointing to his throat.

He was struggling to get the words out, as his throat tightened.

"Shit," Liam mumbled.

He dropped his bag and rushed over towards Theo, guiding him back to the bed.

"Theo you need to sit down," he ordered.

"Can you do that for me?" Liam added, his voice sounding softer this time.

Theo let Liam help guide him onto the bed, pushing him up.

"Breathe Theo, deep breathes," Liam said.

He closed his eyes, trying to focus on his breathing.

It was no use.

"Fuck... I guess this is happening," he heard Liam whisper.

Before Theo had time to question him, Liam had crashed their lips together.

Liam's hands wrapped around his neck, his pulling Liam into his lap.

"Theo," Liam said, whispering.

"Shhh... don't worry baby," he reassured.

"Theo," Liam called out, this time moaning.

It was like music to Theo's ears, he could definitely get use to this.

Hikari was so lucky, he thought.

Oh shit, Hikari.

"Lia-"

Liam's phone rang, interrupting him.

They pulled away from eachother, trying to ignore the awkward atmosphere that had been created.

"I got to... uh... I should take this," Liam said, holding up his phone.

Theo cleared his throat, before he spoke.

"Yeah, yeah... you should definitely... get that."

He'd expected Liam to move from his lap, but he hadn't.

"Hey Scott, what's up?" Liam asked Scott, as he answered the phone.

He tried to leave, pushing Liam off his lap, but Liam pulled him back, keeping him in place.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later Scott," Liam said.

"Li-"

Liam crashed their lips together again, pushing Theo down.

"Where do you think you're going," he questioned, raising his eyebrows.

"Nowhere," Theo answered.

"Good," Liam said, satisfied.

"Lia-"

"It's okay bab-"

"Liam?"

"It's okay Theo," Liam reassured.

"That wasn't me," Theo corrected.

The two men pulled apart from eachother, looking towards the door where the voice came from.

It was Hikari.

It was Liam's girlfriend.

"Shit," Theo swore.

"Liam how could you?" She cried.

"I- I-"

"I am so stupid. I knew something was happening between you two, but I convinced myself I was just paranoid," Hikari stated, laughing at the end.

"I'm sorry," Theo apologised.

She held her hands up in front of her face, backing away from them.

"Save it," she said, as she left the room.

Liam went to run after her, but Theo grabbed his wrist, pulling him in close.

"Theo let go," Liam demanded.

Theo ignored him, pulling him closer.

"Theo what are-"

"Liam-"

"What are you-"

"Liam-"

"What are-"

"Liam!" he yelled, loosing his patience.

"What, Theo? What do you want?"

"You," he breathed.

Maybe he wasn't as done with Liam as he claimed to be.

Liam's eyes glanced over Theo's lips, before looking back into his eyes

"I... I have a girlfriend, you know that," he stated.

"No you don't Liam, not anymore."

"Why are you doing this to me?"

Was Liam being serious right now?

"What am I doing to you Liam?"

"Stop it Theo," Liam ordered.

"Stop what?" he asked.

"Don't do this to me," Liam begged.

"Do what?" Theo asked, stepping forward.

"Make me choose," Liam explained.

"Why not Liam?"

Their faces were now inches apart.

"Because it's not fair," Liam whispered.

"To who?" he questioned.

"Hikari," Liam answered, his voice still at a whisper, like he was afraid of the answer.

"Liam," his eyes on Liam's lips, as he spoke.

"I- I can't hurt her."

"It's too late," Theo pointed out.

"Theo you don't get it, she was there for me when you weren't," Liam explained.

"So explain it to me?" he asked.

"I'm so sorry."

"What are yo-"

"I love you," Liam whispered, kissing him on the cheek.

"Lia-"

"I'm sorry," Liam repeated, as he ran away.

A/N: so.. what did we think?

i must warn you that i find out what angst is in the next chapter and... again, i'm sorry.
