Theo's First Christmas

Theo didn't remember anything from his childhood. The vision of his parents was blurry, he hardly even remembered Tara, his older sister... and what about Christmas.

Theo didn't know if he ever celebrated one, but if so, he didn't have a single memory of it.

"Heyy! Earth to Mr. Raeken! Babe, are you even listening to what I just said?" Liam scoffed, holding two freshly brewed peppermint Starbucks lattes. "Ugh- um, what?" "Yeah, okay, I'll try not to act offended by you zoning out on me for the third time today." Liam chucked and gave Theo his latte as they went to sit down to the closest free table.
"Now will you tell me, what's been running through your mind all day?" Liam frowned a bit and took a sip of his coffee.

A sigh came out of Theo's lips, as the older boy traced his fingers around the mug's edge. "This whole Christmas shit," Theo murmured nonshalantly and didn't bother looking up at Liam. "It makes me feel weird. It is weird. And as hard as I try, I can't manage to dig out a single Christmas memory from my mind. It's frustrating, I don't even know how to act properly at this strange time of the year. It's ridiculous!" Theo growled, head still low.

"Would you like to spend the time at my place?" Liam raised a brow and took another sip. "What?" "You heard me." "Are you serious?" "Dead serious. Otherwise I'd have to spend it at my parents' place and god damn I am not ready for Mariah Carey's high pitched screaming through the house all day. Mom's a huge fan." Theo had to laugh. That Carey woman was annoying as hell. "That sounds great! I was actually thinking of heading out of town for Christmas, but spending it with you will be much better." Theo smirked and gave Liam a sinister wink. The younger werewolf started blushing and hid his face.

Now it was up for Liam to choose a perfect gift for Theo. But what should it be? Liam wondered. Theo had a job, but still lived in his truck. Liam tried convicing the chimera into moving in with him many times, but Theo refused. He was comfortable and used to his car. After all, it was his "home" and he needed more time. Liam understood that well. He just didn't like the idea of Theo being crammed up in the truck's back seat when they could be sharing a bed instead.
But still... Theo had everythimg he needed. New clothes, food, shoes, necessities. Liam had no idea what to get him. Even though the answer was right in front of him and basically everywhere around him the whole December.
Fortunately the young werewolf figured it out.

"Merry Christmas, love!" Liam smiled and handed Theo his present. Liam's apartment was tiny, only one small room with a kitchen, a couch which could be folded out into a bed, a closet and two bigger plants next to the window. Even the Christmas tree was average and plastic, but neither of the boys cared. They were happy to spend this special day together (and Liam was happy that there was no Mariah Carey playing).

Theo's eyes were sparkling as if he was a little boy. He couldn't keep his eyes off the Christmas tree, completely zoning out and ignoring Liam holding his gift. Again. "You lile it?" Liam smiled, already knowing the answer. Theo was a tough guy, but Liam was sure that Christmas will have a special place in his heart from now on. "Hmm... yeah. Kinda cool." Theo shrugged with a half smile as if it was nothing and as if he'd seen this like a dozen times. But his eyes weren't good liars, luckily for Liam.

"What is this?" Theo furrowed his brows while laughing as he pulled a red-white fabric out of the gift box. "Try it on!" Liam tried his best to keep a straight face, but giggles kept escaping from his mouth. And so Theo did.

"This is..." "Ridiculous!" Liam laughed and earned a stone cold glare from his boyfriend. "Perfect. You meant to say perfect and sexy, right, Dunbar?" Theo raised a brow and folded his arms on his chest. "Of course, babe. That's why I got it." "You know, Li, I also think that the bearded fat man in a coat is overrated. Time to set a new trend, whatcha say?" Theo stated confidently and striked a victory pose, arms above his head. Liam couldn't miss the opportunity and took a photo. "Well, this is definitely going on a postcard next year!" Liam laughed and had to agree that Theo was a very handsome Santa Claus. The Santa onesie was a perfect gift.

"So, has this little wolf been good this year?" Theo came up to Liam, grabbing the younger boy by his hips with a smirk. Liam felt his knees weaken under Theo's touch. "Wouldn't say so. Actually I'm proud to say that I'm on the Naughty List." Liam grinned and flashed his amber eyes at Theo. He felt the grip tighten slightly. "Well then, you'll get what you deserve, baby wolf."
