Friend Reunion » Theo Raeken

Part 21

When I came out of the bathroom Theo was standing by my shelf and he was looking at the photos that I had there.

"Um.. hey." I said awkwardly.

"I'm glad you became friends with them when I left." He said pointing at a photo of me, Scott and Stiles.

"Yeah, they are like brothers to me." I smiled and took a step towards Theo. "Why did you leave Theo?"

"I'm here now. And I'm not going to leave this time. That is all what matters."

"I guess. Stiles still think that you are the bad guy." I sighed.

"And what do you think?" He said and looked at me.

"We've all got light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on, that's who we really are." I quoted and Theo went silent for a moment and looked as if he was thinking deeply about something.

"Was that Socrates?" He asked after a while.

"Close." I joked. "Sirius Black." He smiled.

"I missed you." He spoke and cupped my cheek.

"I hate that I can't hate you." I whisper. I was hoping he didn't hear but I highly doubt that since he has werewolf senses.

I watched Theo as he sat on the armchair next to my bed. "You can sleep in my bed, it's big enough for both of us." I offered him. "And it's comfier."

"I'm okay." He smiled at me.

"Well when you'll have back pain in the morning you won't be that much okay, will you?"

"You won't stop until you'll get what you want so I'm gonna make things easier." He said and laid down next to me.

"Thank you, for staying. I guess I don't have other friends who would do this for me right now. Everybody have their own problems."

"Tell me something about it. I don't have anybody."

"Well, you do now." I said and took him by the hand.

I fell asleep holding his hand and I felt safe, and I didn't feel like that in a long time.
