Chapter Text
It was probably a coincidence that it started raining as soon as Liam stepped out of the dorm building. He didn’t mean to jinx the weather when he got up, it just looked really nice out. He groaned as he sighed as attempted to pull up his hoodie over his head and walk to class, it was a little far and he didn’t have an umbrella, his mother’s voice rang in his ear about making sure to pack his umbrella in his bag. But he didn’t want to open the bag and have to force the zippers close again, it had been a pain in the ass the first time.
It was a miracle that he got into the right building on his first try. When his shoes started squeaking against the floor, his brain caught up with his body and he let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. His clothes were soaking wet and he didn’t know how he was going to last two hours in lectures and not get sick. He cursed his luck and moved to find the lecture hall.
He found Mason and took a seat besides him. He eyed his wet clothes but Liam just said “I forgot my umbrella.” Mason snorted and didn’t comment.
When lecture started, the professor went over the syllabus, and Liam started sneezing. Do werewolves even get sick?
When the professor was done, he pointed out the TA and everyone looked back. “Your TA this semester will be Theo Raeken,” and Theo smirked and made a little wave. “He was an excellent student, one of my best, and I’m confident that he can answer all your questions. So don’t be afraid to approach him.”
“Thank you Dr. Smith. Yes, please, if you have any questions don’t be afraid to ask me, I was in your shoes a few years ago so I know how tough this class can get. Office hours will be posted next week when all of TA schedules are set, so don’t hesitate to visit. I’m very friendly,” he gave a smile that literally made a girl two seats down from Liam gasp.
Everyone turned their heads back to the professor who started the new materials, but Liam couldn’t take his eyes off of Theo. The boy was gorgeous. Way more than anyone Liam has ever seen back home or even on TV. The greens of his eyes complemented his tan skin, his lips looked like they’d taste heavenly, his hair and his leather jacket and his eyebrows and his everything. His everything was gorgeous.
When Theo took a seat, Liam averted his gaze, but not before Theo looked back and held his gaze, sporting a smirk that made Liam’s heart beat skip.
Liam shivered, and Mason tried to give him his jacket but Liam is a shit head and declined. Thinking that he’s going to heal and he’ll be okay in a little bit.
A few minutes after, there was a tap on his shoulder. Liam turned to see Theo pointing at Liam and then at the door. He walked out with a small bag but Liam followed. As Liam walked, he shivered even more, feeling the cold air run through his wet shirt and hit his body.
“Did you get caught in the rain?” Theo’s voice was raspy and low and perfect, making Liam’s insides flip.
“Yea, I don’t have an umbrella.”
“Here,” he held out the small bag in front of Liam. “They’re my gym clothes, they’re clean, was planning on wearing them today but if I leave you any longer you will probably get hypothermia.” Liam wanted to be happy that this hot guy was caring enough to give him his clothes just so he wouldn’t get sick, he should be grateful.
“Um,” he just stared at the bag dumbly. This is college, there has to be a trade off!
And just as Liam finished the thought, Theo said “I don’t want anything in return.” He tried to listen for a heartbeat pattern that would tell Liam that he’s lying, but he didn’t find anything. “I’m not lying,” he settled the bag on the floor in front of Liam. “Get changed, and wash them before you return them to me.”
“Why are you being nice?”
“Not everyone has an ulterior motive,” and he wasn’t lying. “But mostly, because we have to look out for each other.” Before Liam could ask him what he meant, Theo went back into the lecture hall.
Liam walked to the bathroom and locked himself in a stall. He opened the bag to see sweatpants, which he thanked God for because he is freezing, and a hoodie. He loved the feeling of the sweatpants’ material, it made him feel warmer instantly. He tried to dry his shirt over the hand drying machine but it was taking too long, and he didn’t want to miss his first lecture. So he packed his clothes neatly in Theo’s bag and headed back.
As he entered, he caught Theo’s eyes on him as he walked by. He didn’t hate the feeling.
As the professor talked about the syllabus, Liam was itching to look back at Theo, he wanted to look at him forever.
When the lecture was over, Liam took his time putting his things away and waited for Mason to finish. He really wanted to thank Theo, but he didn’t want to do it in front of everyone.
“Hey Theo,” he sported a smile that Liam was sure he gave everyone, but his heart still fluttered nonetheless. “I just wanted to say thanks, for the clothes. I’ll give them back as soon as I finish classes.”
“It’s not a problem, Liam.” He didn’t know how Theo knew his name, but he thought he might’ve heard Mason say it, and he smiled at the thought of Theo listening in on their conversation. Okay, Liam thought his name was pretty boring, but coming out of Theo’s mouth it sounded amazing. And made his insides flutter.
“Um, how can I reach you? So that I can drop these off?”
“Are you hitting on me?” he squinted his eyes and bit his lips and it Liam wasn’t sure if it’s the fabric of the sweatpants or the fact that Theo caught him but he felt himself sweating.
“NO! No! I ju- your cl- the sweats and the hoodie and your bag I’m ju-“
“Relax,” he laughed and there it was. The thing that might kill him. The sound of this guy’s laughter that he just met. “It’s okay.” He started writing in his notebook and then tore it off and handed it to Liam. “I don’t mind,” he grabbed his things and headed to walk towards the professor, leaving Liam in disbelief.
“Did he hi-“
“Dude! You got a graduate student to give you their number!” Mason whispered, in equal shock. “On your first day!” He walked out of the lecture hall with Liam behind him, “Intense.”
“He probably gave me the office number,” Liam was trying to believe what Mason said, because he really would like to have Theo’s personal number, but in reality why would he give out his number? Liam is just a freshman, Theo must know plenty of people that he’d be more attracted to than Liam.
“No, dude. That guy was straight up eye fucking you!” He laughed and rolled his eyes at his best friend.
“I’ll see you later tonight,” Liam had one more class and then he was free. Well, that and then Lacrosse practice. He thought he might not go for sports in college, he wanted to join clubs and meet people, but Lacrosse would be good for getting his stress out.

The next lecture, Liam was early for no other reason than to be a good student. He took the same seats as two days ago and waited for Mason.
“Hey Liam,” he looked up from his phone to be gifted with Theo’s beautiful face. A little bit of a 5 o’clock shadow on his sharp jaw. It suited him, Liam thought.
“Hey Theo,” the smile that he sported couldn’t be helped.
“How’s it going?” he squatted down to be in level with Liam’s desk and he looked up at him with those green eyes, Liam could’ve melted right then and there.
“It’s okay,” it barely above a whisper, but Theo heard it for sure. Because he smiled, and Liam was sure he heard his heart beating like a stampede. “How’s it going with you?”
“It’s okay,” it was a whisper too. Just like Liam had done.
The lecture went on as usual and Liam was relieved. He didn’t want to talk to Theo, he’d been thinking about him the whole time and how he’d look kneeling in front of him. He just wanted to go back to his dorm and sleep his embarrassment away.
“Liam!” there goes the source of the source of his latest sexual frustration. But Liam, ever so polite, stopped walking away and turned to Theo’s gorgeous face and his gorgeous chest in that tight v-neck. “Do you know what your major is?”
“Um, a little undecided right now.”
“That’s okay. Our biology department is having a little get together for students and professors are going to talk about their classes and stuff to get you guys interested in a bio field. They’re going to talk about some cool projects that they’re doing too. Come check it out this Friday?”
Liam was nowhere near interested in a biology degree, but he had to admit that Theo looked incredibly adorable trying to sell him the idea of spending his Friday listening to some old people gush about science.
“Yea, sure. When and where?” He watched Theo’s eyes beam with happiness and he thinks that a few hours of science won’t be too bad for the cutest nerd on the planet. When Theo told him the time and the place, Liam smiled back at a still smiling Theo.
He’s never liked any form of math, but damn he was on a high in calculus! And his practice went really well! Must be his lucky day.
Later in the night, Liam was alone in his dorm and he was doing some history reading when Mason came over and they played video games until early next day.

The following Friday Liam was at the science hall at 5 o’clock on the dot. He walked in and saw tables of food and drinks, and quickly everyone rushed into one of the lecture halls. He grabbed a donut and a water and followed them in.
He took a seat in the back and looked for Theo, he guessed he may be with his other nerd friends. And then Liam started to imagine Theo in a lab coat doing experiments with big goggles on, it was kind of hot…
“You came,” he felt the chair next to him move and Theo filled the space, a small smirk playing on his lips.
“You asked me to,” Liam, of course, being the cool guy that he is, wanted to seem unaffected by the gorgeous sunny and cheeky smile smile that Theo gifted him, he pressed his lips and returned his attention to the person about to speak. Paying, or trying to, no attention to Theo, whose head dipped down, and when Liam smelled the chemosignals he instantly felt horrible.
Liam opened up his phone and made a new contact profile and filling the first name as “Theo” with a pink emoji and slid his phone to Theo. He couldn’t help the lightening in his stomach when he saw Theo’s face perk up and smile. He knows Theo gave him his number, but this meant that he wanted his personal number. Theo put his number in and called his own phone, and Liam watched him as he saved the number as “Liam” with a heart eyes emoji. Liam had to bite his lips to keep from snorting.
This is too cute.
Liam didn’t care about any of the presentations, he never wants to learn about plants or genetics or neuroscience. And he certainly never wants to take a class on sharks! So he kept texting Theo dumb things to make him smile, because he loved it so fucking much when he did.
Liam: is fried hair the cost of working in labs?
Theo had to bite his cheeks when he saw a professor with wild and unkempt hair walk out to present her class.
Liam: why does it smell like feet in here?
Liam: do you do animal experiments outside of labs?
Liam: are WE the animal experiments?
Liam: listen here Raeken I will NOT give my life up for science!!
Theo: please stop we will get kicked out
Liam: good
Liam’s fingers shook as he typed out the words.
Liam: then maybe youll finally kiss me
Theo looked at him, with red cheeks. Could be from trying to contain his laughter or… a blush…
He nodded towards the door and they both left in the quietest way.
As they stepped out, Theo grabbed Liam’s hand and pulled him after him. Liam thought he was about to push him against the wall and makeout with him. Kiss the hell out of him, maybe getting a blow job out of it too. Liam wasn’t greedy, but he can hope.
Liam soon realized that he wasn’t not going to be pushed up against a wall and be kissed. No. instead, Theo has brought them inside a dark office.
And then Theo locked the door.
And, oh. Theo took off his jacket. His biceps begging to be set free from under the shirt he wore. “Eyes up here, baby.” And that’s all Liam remembers before he slipped into total euphoria. Because Theo can kiss like a champion, his lips were the softest Liam has ever touched, making Liam’s inside bubble with joy, his head swirling with sinful thoughts. His tongue sneaking into Liam’s when Liam moaned, warm and slick and it was offering just the right pressure. Theo knew where his hands go for maximum pleasure. Of course, for Liam, they were on his ass, pushing him forward and squeezing them just right.
Liam whined as Theo pulled away, missing the heat of the other boy. He watched as Theo circled around a desk and sat behind it in a big chair. With one motion, he signaled to Liam to come over with one finger. And Liam obeyed. Sitting in Theo’s lap, wrapping his arms around his neck, Theo’s hands running up Liam’s sides, fingers hot on his skin.
“You’re so pretty, baby.” Theo sounded incredibly hot, Liam’s insides bubbling again.
“Kiss me,” Liam whined. And Theo followed the order.

When Liam was about to get into bed that night he received a text.
Theo: Next time im gonna find out if your dick’s as pretty as your mouth
Followed by another text of a wink emoji
