Healing a Heart That's Not His - Thiam

Studying

Liam wakes to his phone buzzing at 7:00 AM, just before he gets ready for school. He groans and answers the call. "Hello?" He asks, voice raspy and eyes tired.

"Liam! Yesterday's attack completely scared off the hunters for good! We're gonna celebrate this Saturday, you in?" Excitedly says Scott from the other end, cheerful with success.

"Yeah, I'll make sure me and Theo's free this Saturday." Responds Liam, enlightening his mood a little.

"Great! The whole pack will be there! It's a great opportunity to get drunk." Answers Scott, excitement clear in his voice, making no effort to hide it.

"Drunk? Scott, werewolves can't get drunk, remember?" Reminds Liam, confused.

"Yeah, I know, but Deaton came up with something that can help with that. He grinded wolfsbane into a powder that we can sprinkle into our drinks, which weakens our werewolf senses." Informs Scott.

"Including our healing, which means we can get drunk." Finishes Liam, suddenly also excited as if he caught it from Scott like a cold.

"Exactly!" He hears Stiles yell out from the other end. "Don't worry, though, I'll make sure I get every single thing you do that could be in the slightest bit humiliating, on camera." He continues, not hiding his mischievous plans.

Liam heard some rustling and an 'oof' from the other end, clearly Scott pushing Stiles away from the phone. "Anyway, it'll be at Lydia's since she's the best with parties. Be there!" There was a 'click', indicating the call ended.

Liam gets out of bed in a good mood and heads to open his door and stops when it opens by itself. He looks up and sees Theo standing in his doorway.

"Theo! There's gonna be a party at Lydia's and we can-" Liam starts, excited to tell him the news.

"Get drunk. I know, I heard everything." Finishes Theo excitedly, smirking.

"I have never gotten drunk before and I was a little disappointed when I found out that werewolves can't get drunk, but now that there's a way, I can't wait to get completely wasted for once!" Giddily says Liam, smiling and excited.

"Yeah, and I get to watch you do stupid things that I can make fun of the next day." Says Theo, smirk stretching a little further on his face.

Liam shoves Theo playfully. "Don't you also want to get drunk? Have you ever been drunk before?" Asks Liam, curious.

"Nope, never have, but I will wait a bit to see how big a fool of yourself you can make before also getting drunk. Wouldn't want to miss out on that." He chuckles, still grinning at Liam who then shoves him a little harder, muttering a small 'whatever'.

"I don't get it, what happened in 1894 again?" Asks Theo, confused.

Turns out Theo has a test on Friday in History and Liam wants to help him out because it's clear to him that he won't be passing on his own.

"Have you not been listening? Just read it yourself, then." Says Liam, annoyed.

"But it doesn't make sense! None of it makes sense! All of this doesn't even matter, why do we have to learn this stuff?" Frustratingly exclaims Theo.

Liam takes a deep breath. "Maybe we should take a break. We'll come back to it later, right now I don't think I'll be able to deal with this shit." He says as he stands up from the chair, stretching slightly.

Theo scoffs. "Like you're any better, what was your grade in biology, again?"

Liam smacks his shoulder. "At least I know how to listen because obviously that's a skill not everyone has." He remarks.
