Thiam appreciation week

Day 1: Angst

"Hey, my name is Theo Raeken, but you can call me Theo if you want" the man infront of him said and Liam was to stunned to speak.
"You are Mr. Dunbar, right? Would it be okay if I call you Liam?" He continued and Liam just lightly nodded.

"Alright. So you're here to get your leg going again if I read it correctly"
Liam nonned again and Theo bit back a little smile.
"Okay, you can take a seat here and we will start in a minute. Did you ever had physical therapy before?" He continued to asked and this time Liam shoke his had.
This time Theo really smiled. "You don't speak that much, huh?"

That's not true. Normally Liam would talk non-stop. He often even got on the nerves of people by telling them historical facts out of nowhere or brabbeling about lacrosse. Mason, his best friend, sometimes described him as a force of nature, when he really was into a topic. But he meant it in a loving way and always listened.

But in this moment Liam was actually what you call it. To stunned to speak and also a little shy.
But seriously, who would have thought, that he gets like one of the most hottest persons on the world to be their physiotherapist?
Liam turned red.

"Don't worry, I don't bite" Theo laughed as he seemed to notice.
God, Liam wish he would though.

"So let's get started..."

They haven't talked much on the first meeting. Especially not Liam, but in his defence he needed time to process, because Theo not only was extremly handsome, but also unnaturally kind.

Next time though, Liam would also talk, he decided.
Since there were going to see each other weekly now, he has to be able to handle the situation.

"I couldn't talk last time, my tonsils were inflamed and I had a horrible sore throat" was the first thing Liam said, when he hobbled into the room where Theo was waiting for him. Named one gave him an amused look.
"Okay" he said and then pointed at the lounger for Liam to sit down.

He did, laying his cruches down next to him before he started to speak again.
"I just wanted to say it cause it probably seemed mean or as if I didn't wanted to talk to you, which I did, I just wasn't able to, you know. Because why would I not? Want to talk to you I mean. That would be rediculus, right? So..."
When he saw Theos amused face, he knew he brabbeld again and shut his mouth. He didn't wanted to make it more akward.

"No worries, I didn't felt offended or anything"

"Can I ask you how you managed to break your leg three times?" Theo asked him while making some exercises with Liam to built bag up his muscles in said leg. While it healed he couldn't really use it, so the muscles builded back.

"I uhm... I play lacrosse and somehow in training I ended up flying over my teammates back and landed weirdly on my leg" he told him the story, that funny enough was also the way Liam, Scott and Stiles became friends.
"But normally I'm really good" he fastly added, noticing how it must have sounded before.

"Oh god, did that sound conceited now?"
Why did he always made it worse as it already was? Now Theo will think he is an untalented AND arrogant person, both at once.

"No, don't worry, it didn't sounded that way. Everyone has things they are good at. Besides, Lacrosse sounds like a cool sport. I always just skateboarded" Theo told him.
"That's so ho- cool"
Good save Liam, good save.
