My hero, My Savior ~ Thiam

Chap. 5

I awoke with cool water flushing all over me.

"hawawahsbahsch" i blubbered getting water in my mouth thrashed, confused.

"Hey! hey, you're fine, it just me" Theo said calming me in the tub.

"Wh-wha-a-t happend" I stuttered, flustered.

"I found you laying in the woods bleeding all over and then you passed out in my truck on the way to my house, and I put you in the tub to wake you and try to wash off the blood" he explained starting to rub my back to calm the very confused me.

"O-okay" I said slightly embrassed.

"You should take more of your clothes off, it would help" Theo said plainly.

"Ummm, I'm good" I said my face going dark, i was very insecure about my body and the thought being pretty much naked around Theo made my stomach do loops. I didn't understand that.

"At least your shirt" Theo said, "I would have you take a shower, but you're very weak right now, and don't fight me on that" He said seriously.

"ummm alri-i-ight" I said giving in. He pulled my shirt over my head revealing my skinny beaten torso. My face immediately darkened and I couldn't control it, what was wrong with me. Theo washed off my torso revealing the wounds that were once hidden by blood and blood stains.

"Geez Liam, What happend to you?" He asked looking up into my eyes.

"Umm, Idont really remember that much, I'm pretty sure umm I was umm beat up by some kids from school, I woke up in the forest like this, Deaton told me it wasn't poisoned, I don't think it was an Alpha though" I tried to explain, hopefully he bought it.

"alright then, you sound unsure" he said probably had been listening to my heart.

"I'm not lying, I just don't remember" I said looking into his eyes.

"Well do you know why you haven't healed yet?" He questioned.

"Well Deaton said that one of the other things that blocks a werewolf's healing is something emotional, so probably that" I explained, which was ultimately true.

"Oh" was all that he said as he continued to clean me. I started feeling dizzy again so I tried to move myself to lean against the wall p, but it caused me to start bleeding once again and bent over grabbing my torso whimpering in pain.

"Woah there" Theo said grabbing me gently, causing me to whimper slightly from the bruises that danced all of my back. Which caught his attention as he muttered a sorry inspecting my back quickly then returned to my front. He slowly layed me back so I could rest on the wall. Tears flooded my vision again as my whole body just ached all over. It hurt so much.

"What wrong" Theo said pushing the wet strands of hair out of my face.

"It hurts" i whimpered.

"Where" he asked as he wanted to help.

"Everywhere" I whispered.

"Oh Liam" he said sadness laced in his voice. He gently pulled his hands and rested them on my chest, even though it was gentle it made me wince. Then I felt relief, I opened my eyes and saw black crawling up Theo's arms. Although Theo could only take it for a few seconds, it meant a lot. After he finished showering me he got some bandages to repatch me up. He pulled me out of the tub and sat me on the floor wrapping me with a tower. He left for a moment and came back with some old sweats, probably cause his size now was to large for my body, a hoodie, and some boxers.

"Here you can change, I will be right out here if you need anything" he said handing me the items.

"Thanks so much" I said taking the items. He left and a shakily stood up to examine myself in the mirror. God I looked horrid. I was bruised everywhere, my ribs showed, my skin was pale, my face danced with blush, and I had dark circles tracing my eyes. I truly looked like death. I undressed the rest of my clothes having some struggle with them being soaked. Theo's boxers and sweats were a little big and surprising didn't fall off as you could practically see my hip bones. It hurts looking at my body, I miss the way it used to look, before my mom had died. I had more fat on my bones, I had way nicer abs. I attempted to put on the hoodie but it pained me due to most of the injuries being in my torso and the pain coming back to my shoulder. I kept trying but continued failing. I stumbled out of the bathroom hoodie in hand seeing Theos sitting on his bed scrolling through his phone.

"he-he-hey Theo" I mumbled trying to get his attention.

"Yes" he said his head snapping up looking at me.

"I can't get this on" I mumbled looking down embarrassed.

"It's alright" he reassured me softly. He came over and draped the hoodie over my head and helped my put my arms in the sleeved gently and pulled it down. It was almost like a dress on me, he chuckled seeing that.

"Hey" I giggled back.

"Your so small" he smiled.

"I'm only a few inches smaller" I protested.

"Yeah, Yeah, whatever you say little wolf" he chuckled. I just huffed at him as he made his way back to his bed. I just stayed where I was unsure of what to do.

"You can sleep on my bed, it's big enough for both of us" He smiled.

"Um, okay" I said stumbling over to the side of the bed, stretching my arms to side to stabilize myself. I was weak, and I hated it.

"You okay" He asked.

"Yeah, I got" I replied crawling in a foot or two away from him.

"Are tired, or do you wanna watch a movie or something?" Theo asked.

"A movie would be nice" I smiled, even though I was exhausted, I just didn't want to fall asleep, it haunted me. After some bickering we decided to watch a comedy on Netflix. I tried to keep my eyes open, terrified to sleep.

"What wrong Liam" Theo asked pausing the movie and looking over at me.

"Nothing" I said giving him a confused look.

"I can smell you" He said looking into my eyes. I didn't know what to do, I didn't feel like explaining or exposing my secret I've been keeping, he has already witnessed once, he doesn't need to know it is a routine thing. I just looked down fiddling my hands. He clasped his hand over mine,

"You can talk to me you know" He said truthfully. I guess I could tell someone, I also mean who could resist Theo's puppy eyes.

"uM, I-um" I choked, talking about this always triggered me. It's not Theo's fault, he is just trying to help. Maybe this could help.

"So, I get horrible, I mean horrible, nightmares, most of the time I don't even know I'm dreaming until I wake..." I started tears pouring from my eyes. Theo just kept looking at me softly and rubbed his thumbs over my hands which he had clasped in his. "They are about my mother's death" I said with a sob, that's really what to it, "it happens every single night, everytime I fal, alseep" I finished losing myself. Theo didn't say much but he pulled me in cradling me, not like a baby though. I just cried into his chest and he held me, it felt nice. Eventually tired myself out and must have fallen alseep because next thing I knew I was screaming waking up from a nightmare.

"Hey, hey, Liam! It was just a dream, just a dream. You're okay, I'm here, it's Theo" He said shaking me slightly to bring me back. I felt hot tear staining my face. I just buried myself into Theo's chest searching for further comfort. Theo just gave it, not bothered at all, sort of happy in a way, but hurt for me. That is what I think I read from him.

"Thank You" I whispered.

"It's alright" Theo said simply rubbing circles on my back.

"No but really thank you" I said. I could just feel him smile, he didn't really have to say anything. We slowly lied down, me still in his embrace, and cuddled for to remainder of time til sleep captured us once again. This time I wasn't scared. Maybe this could be a good week.

❤️😂👏😴
