****Flashback****
Theo was 8 years old when it all started. At first it was light touches that were more than fatherly, and pet names. It didn't really bother Theo until one night his father came in his room.
****Flashback Over****

Theo woke up with a start. Breathing deeply. Theo reassured himself
     "Your fine Theo, I'm fine, they're are dead, they can't get you anymore."

Theo was in the guest-room of the Geyer's residence. His heart was beating so fast. He was trying to control his heart-rate. This has been happening lately ever since he's gotten out of hell his long buried memories were digging their way up to the surface of his mind giving him these awful nightmares, and most of all he was getting these feelings that he couldn't control. Theo hated them he would either wake up drenched in sweat, crying, or not being able to breath. Theo got out of the bed that smelt of fear and went to the bathroom to take a shower and toke off his clothes that reeked of terror. The whole guest-room was pungent of his fears, and worries.

——-Time Skip——-

Theo was downstairs with Liam and Mrs.Geyer eating breakfast in comfortable silence. Liam looked at Theo in a manor of 'what's wrong' smelling the uncontrolled fear rolling off him no matter how normal he looked. He knew Theo knew what he was asking cause his face started to look flushed and his heart-rate was starting to pick up. Theo asked to excuse himself from the table. Liam's mother told Theo that he didn't have to clean his dish that her and Liam would do them.

     " But mom!" Liam exclaimed

     "No buts Liam." Mrs. Geyer responded to Liam exclamation

Theo went upstairs feeling ashamed because he couldn't control his scent. He didn't want Liam to worry about him. He knew Liam would care ever since Liam and Liam's parents took him in. Liam told his parents that he wanted that for Theo to have somewhere to sleep and eat. Liam's eyes gave it away how much he cared for the chimera. Theo has saved his life more times than he could count, and Theo was grateful that he had Liam.
Liam is trustworthy, but he didn't want to be dependent on Liam. Liam already gave him more than he could ask for. Theo reaches his bedroom that was apparently his.
For now Theo thought
Theo plopped himself on the bed and scooted to the headboard and he brought his knees to his chest and cried silently letting all his emotions out when nobody was near nor watching. Theo was so out of it from crying the darkness slowly took him not being able to hear the conversation Mrs. Geyer and her son were having.

Liam P.O.V

I was downstairs with my mother and Theo eating breakfast in a comfortable silence when these big waves of fear hit my nose. I look at Theo and he looked terrified no matter how much he tried to mask it. I looked at Theo asking him 'what is wrong' with my facial expression. Theo sensed what I was asking and asked to be excused. I was worried about him, but my mother kept me from going to check on him by keeping me downstairs to help her with the dishes.

"Do you know what's wrong with Theo, honey?" My mom questioned me obviously worried about Theo

"I don't know? I was gonna ask him, but your kinda preventing me from doing that." I answered smartly

"Boy, don't you act smart with me! I'm just trying to find out what's wrong I don't want him to be uncomfortable." My mother answered

"Well I plan on finding out. Don't worry." I said reassuringly

I left the kitchen and went upstairs to my room not before listening for Theo's steady heartbeat. To me it sounded like he was sleeping. Once I reached my bedroom door I heard Theo's heart hammering in his chest. I didn't know what was going on, but I went into full on protect Theo mode. I rushed to Theo's room and entered the room that reeked of fear. Theo was shivering in a fetal position
Whisper yelling out "No, please stop, No!"

I went to Theo's shivering body, and laid next to him and whispered "it's ok, your ok." I said in a hushed voice.

"I'm ok." Theo croaked out

It sounded like he was trying to believe what he was saying. Liam was hurt seeing Theo in such a vulnerable state. Theo woke up so fast he almost smacked Theo in the head with his head almost making a painful collision, but Liam moved his head just in the nick of time.

"What's wrong Theo?" I asked him concern written across my face.

"I'm fine, nothing's wrong" Theo said while his voice cracked.

"Theo I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong." I said trying to tell him its ok to tell me.

Theo looked broken like he just saw ghost. He was pale, and slightly shivering. The only thing I could smell was fear. What was worse after a few seconds in complete silence. I heard Theo whimper. WHIMPER!
I was so hurt to see him in this state. I sat up and scooted to the headboard and laid my back on it. I looked at Theo with open arms.

"Come here?" I told/asked him not wanting to force him.

Theo looked at me and the sight almost broke me. Tears were streaming down his face openly. A side of Theo I haven't ever seen. I pulled Theo into my chest letting him cry freely. Theo started sobbing.

    "Why won't they stop?" Theo asked so brokenly.

     "Theo I don't know what your talking about, but please tell me." I said softly

     "I- I can't tell you." Theo stuttered darting his eyes around the room like he was looking for something that wasn't there.

     "Theo then can you at least tell me what to do, anything I can do to help?" I said for Theo to know I was willing to help him.

     "Stay." He said

I nodded

     "Comfort me." He choked out.

Author's Note
Theo and Liam like each other and they don't say it out loud. They only show it through actions.....
