Humanity [Twilight]

Eight

Theodore was in the garage finishing his bike, it hasn't taken him long to do especially now that he had all the right parts, if he was being honest he was dragging out finishing he could have had it done in the first week if he wanted.
His music was softly playing it was softer than his normal "punk" music but he wasn't in the mood for something heavy he needed something more peaceful.
His music was loud enough where he didn't hear 'peaceful' walk into the garage and stop at the entrance.
"Teddy" the voiced snapped Theodore out of whatever focused daze he was in.
Theodore looked up and scowled at the boy
"didn't I tell you not to call me that"
"maybe" Paul replied walking into the room sitting next to him on the floor
"what are you doing here anyway. not that i don't want you here that's not what I meant but like in Forks"
"Relax Theo. My friends had something to do in town and I got bored so I figured i'd come see what you were doing."
"Theo?"
"Well you said I can't call you Teddy and Theodore is too long so"
Theodore just smiled at him and returned to what he was doing, fiddling with the finishing touches. Paul watched the boy with an affectionate eye, he never thought he would ever find his imprint nor did he think if he did it would be anyone like Theodore Swan.
.......
It was now the weekend and the motorcycle was up and running, In fact Theodore was currently on his way to the address Paul had sent him. As he pulled up to the house he realized how nervous he was it was the first time he was meeting someone close to Paul. Theodore then realized that it wasn't like he was dating Paul they were just friends, he was simply meeting his friend's friends.
Paul exited the house as he heard the bike pull up, watching as Theodore fully pulled into the driveway. He walked over to bike a Theodore parked it.
"You finished it" he exclaimed happily, looking over the bike. Paul being a mechanic had checked over the bike a multitude of times just to make sure he would be safe, he never once found anything wrong but was still worried.
They slowly walked to the house Theodore clearly nervous, Paul wanted to comfort him but wasn't sure how to in friendly manner, he honestly just wanted to reach out and grab Theodore's hand.
As they entered the house Theodore slowly followed Paul as he have a brief tour they ended in the living room where he met Sam who he was rather intimidated by mostly because he knew how important Sam was to Paul. He then met Sam's girlfriend and was told his other friend would be dropping by later. They all sat and were talking about a multitude of things while also snacking on an assortment of things Emily had made which were all delicious.
It was all of a sudden when the front door slammed open, and another boy walked in.
"I just had the most crazy.....run" He trailed off as he saw Theodore.
"Hi, I'm Jared." he said greeting Theodore somewhat curtly.
"Theodore" he said in response picking up on the awkwardness of the room now,
"ooo food" Jared had said, which broke a laughter from the other people in the room and it was once again a peaceful situation
....
They had decided to play Uno. Uno is not a good game for hotheads who can turn into wolves at any second. Theodore was winning and Jared was in last place complaining greatly about it.
"You know you're practically how Paul described you only a bit less attractive in my opinion, although I am straight so who knows." Theodore blushed at that and paul slapped him across the head while also blushing.
"I-" Paul started but wasn't sure exactly what to say, thankfully for the Sam walked in and said he needed Jared for something. In all honesty Sam was most likely trying to save Jared from his ass being beat by Paul more later.
"So..." Theodore started.
"Look Theo I didn't mean it in a weird way I was just explaining you and stuff and I mean you are attractive but...." Paul trailed off he genuinely didn't know what to say to make the situation less awkward.
Theodore smirked at him, "Relax Paul, Your not exactly ugly yourself." He said while placing a card down, "Uno"
.....
Theodore had been invited to the bonfire being held by the tribe that night, he felt like he was invading the culture of the tribe as if he shouldn't be there but Paul insisted that he was welcome.
In reality Paul wanted to slowly introduce Theodore to the supernatural world. As the night went on Theodore was thoroughly intrigued by the legends of the tribe, on the drive back the Theodore's house, in Pauls truck with the motorcycle in the back, they had a thorough discussion, Theodore wondering how much of it was real and paul emphasized that he believed all of it was.
Theodore invited Paul inside to stay a while longer and while both boys were upset to leave each other Paul had to get back to the reservation while Theodore had some thinking to do.
That night Theodore researched more tribe legends none of them being as detailed as the Quileute was making him wonder how much truly was true for him it seemed to detailed for being passed down a few generations, it was almost as if Billy Black had been their himself. And Theodore found the adjacent stories such as the cold ones familiar to him as well.
