Clubbing is not exactly Theo’s thing, but here he was. Sitting here with Scott, his best friend's boyfriend. They were sipping on their drink enjoying the view of their boyfriends and friends acting like fools. Theo was pretty content with his life right now. He was getting lost in thought until Brett and Liam came stumbling towards him and Scott.
“Theoooo. Your boyfriend is being mean to me.” The taller boy pouted to Theo which is not something you would expect from him.
Liam throws himself onto the chimera’s lap and continues to curl up into a ball. “Noooo. He was being mean to me.” Liam pointed at the other werewolf while trying to hide his face further into Theo’s chest. Theo just chuckled a bit at the boy’s antics.
Isaac walks towards them after seeing the commotion. “Isaac can you please tell me what happened between these two?”
Isaac was definitely not completely sober but at least he was better than these two. “Well Brett was flirting with one of these girls, but she started dancing with Liam instead. Liam said ‘It’s ‘cause I’m prettier than you.’ And Brett started calling Liam names and here we are.” That sounded like something that would happen when Theo was trying to take a break.
Theo could see from the corner of his eye, Scott taking another shot. And then 2 more. He must really be done with this situation too. “Okay…but why do I have to deal with this? It’s your brother.”
“And it's your boyfriend. You chose to keep him in your life. I was burdened with him.” The other beta shot back. The boy in question rumbled in his lap at the statement.
“Everyone is being mean to me Theo,” Liam said with sad eyes and a pout that Theo almost couldn’t resist.
“I think you just have that effect on everyone,” Theo said as he poked the boy’s cheeks.
“You’re a meanie. I will go ask Scott. He would never let this happen to me.” As Theo looked to his side, he noticed that the alpha in question was gone. Damn you, Scott. Leaving me with these kids. As he looks up again, he also notices that Isaac is gone too. You fuckers better not be making out and leaving me to deal with these two alone. Liam instantly abandoned the idea of going to Scott when he didn’t see him anymore. Instead, he nuzzles closer into Theo’s body.
“Theooooo. Why won’t you let me sit on your lap too?” Theo swears that the other boy isn’t usually like this. It was a complete 180 from how the born werewolf was usually.
“Brett. We ain’t dating. If you want to go lay on someone’s lap you have to go find someone for that. I only have one lap and it's currently being taken.” With this Liam wraps his arms around Theo’s torso showing that he is already being used.
“Yeah. This one is taken,” Liam stuck his tongue out at the boy.
“You little piece of shit,” Brett said as he started lunging for the boy in Theo’s lap. Liam let out a small shriek at the advance, but it was stopped by his boyfriend.
“Calm down. I barely have enough patience and energy to deal with one impulsive werewolf.” Theo blocked Brett leaving Liam on the seat hiding behind Theo. Looking back at Liam he said “And please stop provoking him. This is supposed to be my day off.” Theo felt like he was a babysitter at this point. He should’ve done what Scott did and down a few shots and disappeared somewhere.
Theo looked around and spotted Isaac in the corner clearly flirting with Scott. He was leaning over the other boy while the alpha acted bashful. Theo stood up, much to Liam’s protests, and walked to the pair.
Isaac could feel the chimera’s glare pointed at him despite not turning around. As Theo got closer, he said, “What do you want now?” annoyance evident in his voice.
“Come deal with your brother,” Theo’s tone showed clear evidence of exasperation.
“But you look like you are having such a nice time.” Theo swears that it is genetic for both of the werewolves to annoy him.
“I will leave their asses here,” Theo threatened.
“We both know that you wouldn’t leave Liam like that. What if he starts sitting on another guy’s lap because you’re gone?” Before Theo was able to respond he was interrupted by the other werewolf.
“While I always enjoy the banter. I think Theo is right,” Scott said while patting the blond on his chest. “It’s getting late, and we should get going before those two get any worse.” They all look over towards the two and see that they are wrestling in the booth where Theo left them.
They all walked over with no intent on being quick. As they approached, they could slowly hear the argument that was happening. “Take it back!” Liam said as he was straddling Brett and pinning his arms.
“I can’t if it’s true.” He said as he blew hair out of his eyes.
Isaac was the one that was the first one to grab Liam’s arms. “Hey what are you two talking about?”
“He called me a tiny biscuit!”
“Because it's true!”
“Hey, that’s not true,” Theo chimed in.
“See!” Liam yelled at the pinned down boy.
“He’s more of a small cupcake if anything.” Liam glared at his boyfriend for his betrayal.
“Hey!” Liam pouted again, which seemed like the only thing Liam is able to do in this state. Well other than jump Brett, but that’s just always something he does.
“Let’s go Liam,” Isaac said as he tried to pry his brother off of the poor beta. The smaller boy was really going for it making it almost impossible for the boy to pry his brother off. He looked back at the other two in the audience before saying “Are you two just going to watch?”
“You look like you got this. Plus, we wouldn’t want to interfere with family matters.” Scott laughed at the chimera’s statement, clearly showing no sign of helping either.
“Scott, I swear to god I will leave your ass if you don’t help me,” Isaac was clearly getting tired by all the pulling while not making any progress.
Theo looked over to only see a smile of amusement at the statement. “That’s not what you said yesterday.” The comment caused Isaac to turn red.
“Ew. I don’t need to hear you two flirting.” Isaac heard from below him as he got distracted from his main task.
“Oh, shut it. We all hear more from you and Theo.”
“You can say that again,” The boy who is trying to be saved said.
After a few more minutes of struggling Theo was just getting bored and realized that if he didn’t do anything they would actually be here all night. He approached where Isaac was and gestured for him to move aside. “Let go of him.” Theo tugged a bit seeing no difference. “Liam. Let go of Brett before you kill him. I only have so many friends.” At the last statement Liam let Theo pull him off of the taller boy. He instantly turned around in Theo’s arm and held onto him like a koala while placing his head on his shoulder. “Thank you,” Theo whispered into the boy’s ear while he squeezed the boy attached to him.
“Get up Brett. We're going.” Theo already turned his back to the group seeing as Liam is holding on so tightly that Theo didn’t even need to hold him.
“Why does he get special treatment? I’m your best friend!” Theo turned around at this statement.
“Because, A he is my boyfriend. B because I’m too tired to pull him off. And C even if I do manage to get him off, he would start crying and if he starts crying, I will kill everyone in here. Does that answer your question?” It was a rhetorical question as he is already at the door.
“You’re cozy,” Liam nuzzled closer to Theo. Theo grunted in acknowledgement, seeming unamused, but Liam knew that it was his way of saying “I like you too.” As he continued walking towards his truck, which was quite a distance, because someone wanted to enjoy the night sky or whatever. Theo held the boy closer and could smell his contentment. Theo had to admit that it was a nice night.
