Not a Phase- Thiam (Theo + Liam)

Questioning

Liam's POV

"Hey Scott, have you noticed something off. About Theo?"

"Well, I mean it's only been a couple of days since he woke up."

"No, I mean doesn't he seem more sad."

"Theo? I don't think he even knows what that is, wait sorry Liam still trying to be forgiving of Theo because he did save your life and risk his own."

"Yeah exactly, you don't think he's going to leave right?"

"I mean why would Theo leave in the first place?" I could tell at this point Scott is really the most oblivious person I have ever met.

"Nevermind, look Scott I gotta head back to the hospital it's my shift to look over Theo." but of course I couldn't tell Scott that going to see Theo is the most favorite part of my day. I don't know if it is because of his witty jokes or how adorable he is sleeping. Yes, you heard me. Adorable, I'm not gay though. I kept repeating in my head. I open the door to Theo's room not expecting to say what I did.

"Hey! Liam!" Theo said joyfully with a huge smile.

"I love---" I quickly paused what in the hell is going on with me today?! But, obviously he had heard me and was all ears. So I continued.

"I love how close we've gotten, as friends." The second the 'as friends' came out of my mouth I felt an aching in my heart. Shattering aching. I sat down and began just having one of those conversations with him. You know the ones that you don't really know how they start but you end up hitting really deep shit. That's what had happened. Theo explained to me everything that got him back to Beacon Hills along with being manipulated for many, many years. Then I told him how Brett's sister  Lauri was killed while he was in a coma and explained how it was all my fault also how Brett left and no one knows where he is and that he is possibly dead. I don't know how we quite got there but by the time I finished talking Theo grabbed my hand and was holding it. Gently, almost lovingly. I didn't move my hand long after it was noticeable not only that I knew it was there but that he knew I knew.

Theo went on to telling me how much he regrets every even saying anything rude to his sister before he betrayed her. The thing is he didn't betray her that is the furthest thing from what had happened. It was about 7 years ago. Theo's sister wanted to go on a walk because their father was yelling again and she couldn't see Theo getting either physically or mentally hurt even more. Next thing lead to another she fell in the river yet Theo did nothing. Just let her freeze in misery. In a way he thinks that his younger self though that he was helping her escape the trouble of their home life. But he knew it was wrong and should have never done it. Once again he doesn't even know what was going on in his head when it happened. But he took her heart got his replaced with hers and well here he is today.

Listening to his story was mesmerizing we didn't notice that we were still holding hands or that Malia was there for her shift but watching us as we spoke. But I didn't care in that moment because I didn't know yet all I knew was I wanted to be there. I closed my eyes slowly and laid my head down near our hands placed on the medical bed.

Theo quickly fell asleep too not knowing or worrying about the crazy unforgettable day tomorrow has to offer. Both of them didn't care who saw they just knew it felt right.

Like two pieces to a puzzle.

A perfect combination.
