Wrong Answer, Dumb-ass [ 1 ] (Thiam)

Chapter 027

"I still don't understand why you want me to drive over, it's late and I'm done doing your homework. Besides what would people think if they saw me, a twenty odd year old coming over to your house in the middle of the night?"

Rolling his eyes, Liam stares at Theo through the screen, trying to telepathically change his mind, and convince him to come over, even for just an hour, which in reality is all the time he needs to listen to the album, and praise him. "So that I could praise you, dumb-ass. Listen I know we aren't exactly 'friends' but it would be cool to listen to it, together."

"Would it though? We can listen to it over the call, let me just pull up Spotify a minute."

"What are you so worried about?" Asks Liam in a small voice, "even when you started helping me again, after ignoring me for a week, you still refused to come over, why?" He often wonders whether there's something he's done wrong, or whether he secretly stinks of BO, which stops Theo from coming over.

Now this catches Theo's attention, which makes him look at the screen at a peculiar angle, with his nose almost against the camera, he says. "I'm not worried about anything, why should I be? Maybe I just don't want to hang out with minors or young boys with abandonment issues."

Biting back the urge to yell at the older male, Liam royally gives him the finger and ends the call, sitting back on the white kitchen counter covered in scuffs and knife marks from where he's not used a cutting board, Liam listens to the wind howl outside, winter is fast approaching and soon they'll face the threat of being snowed in, again. Two winters ago when Scott still went to school with Liam, they woke up and found a six foot wall of snow in front of their door, leaving them trapped inside and unable to leave for the entire day, maybe it'll happen again this year.

Theo

Theo:
You didn't have to hang up on me like that, a simple "fuck off asshole" would've done it.

Liam:
????

Theo:
????? ??
I'm questioning the question marks.

Liam:
U can't keep coming back every time u mess up, what u said hurt and ur aware of that, I know u r
Am I trying 2 hard or something, make me understand how I can make things easier between us

Theo:
There's nothing you can make easier, you illiterate swine.
When you reach my age and experience what I've experienced you'll understand why I am the way I am towards you, okay?

Liam:
Whatever, I'm going 2 sleep

Theo:
So you don't want me coming over??? Or do you?

"That little shit," grabbing handfuls of unwashed clothing, Liam rushes into the bathroom to dump everything into the basket, never has he spent so much trying to make his and Scott's room look acceptable for guest's, "I'm am going to make him regret the day he answered my damn text messages."

Tires squeal loudly outside the front of his house, most likely catching his neighbours attention to the late night visitor, who most definitely forgot the exact location of the house, with the lights in his room off, Liam peaks through the blinds in his room, catching a glint of black metal shining brightly under the moon, sure enough the truck was a couple feet off from where it should've been parked.

"Dear neighbours, I promise this isn't my drug dealer," mumbles Liam as he listens to the cat door slam shut. "Seriously, could you be anymore obvious?"
