Be a Werewolf, not a Teen Wolf

It broke TK’s heart to know that Theo thought he would never find someone who would accept him for himself. To love him, werewolf gene and all but Tk knew all too well how cruel people could truly be. “Luckily for you, I want you to be around me, fleas and all.” He teased him, giving him a soft smile. “Hey, we all can’t be perfect, you know. I have terrible nickname skills, it’s a struggle I live with everyday.” TK laughed softly. “I don’t mind you being soft around me, when it’s just us two. I like that. It’s like when we’re together like this the outside world doesn’t exist for a moment and we can just be us.” Tk smiled. “You are? I’m falling for you too. It’s not hard too, you and that darn smile.’

“Fleas?! I do not have fleas!” Theo’s face full of mock outrage as he heard TK’s joke. “And I hate to tell you, Mr. Terrible Nicknames, if I have fleas, so do you.” He teased. “But I am flea free.” He closed his eyes for a second, just enjoying TK’s words and his presence. “You’re right. This, us, it’s nice. Something we don’t have to worry about and we don’t have to be scared of. It’s nice to know that there’s someone here that I don’t have to worry about putting a wall up around. “I don’t have to be anyone but just...me.” Theo thought for a second, before he looked up at TK again. “I want to try and do something. To help people for once you know? I have these abilities and I’m so used to just using them to survive when I could be using them to actually help people.” 

“This is one of the reasons why I like you so much.” Derek couldn’t help but smile at Stiles for that. “Pretty sure we’ll be making out more than we will be plotting to prank Peter, but I am happy that you are giving us some credit.” Derek teased. Derek laughed softly at what Stiles said next and shook his head. This boy was a mess, but he was his mess now and he wouldn’t have it any other way honestly. Derek knew that having Stiles in his life was a good thing, he kept Derek grounded, and he did keep him calm. “I know that, I’m just teasing you. I just don’t want you to be afraid of me either, you know. I know the wolf thing can be a deal breaker sometimes, it has before.” Derek gave him a soft smile. “Sorry, I wasn’t trying to bring the mood down.”

“Not cause I’m adorable?” He teased with a laugh. “I mean I have some pretty good ability to focus on stuff when I want to.” He lied with a chuckle. “Not saying I really want to focus on stuff that isn’t making out with you, but I mean there it is.” He smiled at Derek, easy going and relaxed. He sighed as he heard Derek’s next words, offering him a gentle, caring look. “Don’t be sorry. You’re dealing with a lot too. Relationships are more than just making out and holding hands. Sometimes it’s leaning on each other to keep each other up.” He pointed out. “The wolf thing isn’t a deal breaker. If it was, I wouldn’t have ever had this super crush on you. But here I am. Still thinking you hung the moon.” He chuckled at his own joke. “I mean it.” 

“You could always try one of those jobs out here too if you wanted, but I don’t think I would mention the whole zombie hunter thing. There are other zombies here and I don’t think they’d appreciate you taking on that job.” Liv chuckled softly before nodding. “Totally. I think you would be good at solving crimes. You’ve helped us a few times back in Seattle and it was fun. It would be like a non-stop party. My two favorite guys and me, working and keeping the city of Sydney safe.”

“Other zombies? What other zombies? Other than Ravi, of course. I’ve seen him and he only counts as a zombie one week a month. And he knows all about my checkered past. What, are you going to tell me someone like Blaine is here?” He almost gagged at the thought. “I mean...if you think that I could manage it, it can’t hurt. Much easier to be a cop or a morgue attendant or whatever I did, versus the commander of Filmore-Graves.” He pointed out. 

Tk couldn’t help but smile at the other and nodded. “Bring it on!” He teased Theo. After his ex-boyfriend and the dark time he had after they had broken up, Tk didn’t think he would find someone that he could be that vulnerable with but then he came to this town and he met Theo and his entire world changed. He chuckled. “It’s very creepy.” He agreed as he started the movie as he heard the next thing Theo said and it made his entire heart feel like it was going to explode out of his chest, but in a good way. “Your welcome, even though you don’t have to thank me. You aren’t so bad, you know. I get it though, after everything that happened with my ex, I didn’t think I’d be able to be like this around someone else but then I met you and this just seems natural. Like we were meant together. I know that sounds so cheesy but I’m glad we’re doing this.” He told him and kissed the top of Theo’s head. “I like this soft and cute side of you, it’s extremely adorable.”

“I was pretty sure I was never going to be okay. Never going to find someone who actually wanted me around.” He confessed to TK, leaning into him, relaxing as he stared at the screen, actually jumping when something spooky happened. “I’m glad too. That I came here and met you. That we found each other. Even if you are giving terrible nicknames.” He teased with a smile. “I am not soft!” He scoffed, fake indignant at the idea that he was anything but a badass. “I have never been cute in my entire existence.” He sprawled even more on TK, looking over at the human. “Maybe you just make me mushy.” He admitted. “Maybe I’m just falling for you.” 

Derek couldn’t help but smile at Stiles with that one. “You know, that is a good idea. I think we should do it for real, since I do know where he is staying. It would be pretty entertaining, especially if we could hide and film it.” He laughed, the look on his uncle’s face would be priceless, honestly. “Smart and talented as hell, huh? I think my ego is slowly going to be okay after that. You really have a way with your words, don’t you?” He teased the other. “The kissing or the dating thing?” He knew Stiles meant both, but he had to still be a bit of an asshole, right? Just more so in the fun way now. “We can post it all over the…it’s called Instagram, right? Omg, you have a werewolf boyfriend.” He laughed.

“I say we do it. I say we divert all energy we have to pranking your uncle relentlessly. And making out. We can definitely split focus. And since there’s no nemeton here to destroy our lives we can have less worries.” He beamed, proud of himself and his temporary focus. “Oh my god you want to take instagram selfies with me? Cute. You gonna give me your class ring and ask me to go steady too??” He teased, beaming at the werewolf. “I couldn’t care less about  you being a werewolf. You know that right? I want you, not what you’re able to do.” He pointed out, looking over at the older man, concerned. 

Chris looked over at what the man was looking at but didn’t make a comment about it, at least not yet. He just took the seat that was offered to him and nodded. “Yes, she is. If you ever run into her, her name is Allison.” He hummed. “Yeah, I don’t know why I am here like most people but I was here during the camping trip and it would seem that my dad was part of it, so that’s fun. I figured he had something to do with it.”

“I’ll keep that in mind if I ever run into an Allison.” He promised the other man. “That has to be some terrible luck.” He said with a sympathetic smile. “Not my family that’s a problem, though we do tend to run face first into danger. No, our problem is more...other people’s will on what we do with our lives, if that makes any sense?” He thought about the angels and their plans, the wars, all of it. Everything he and his family had been through. “But I’m sorry to hear about your dad being a massive tool and all.” 

“I brought you coffee. Wasn’t sure if you wanted cream or sugar so I just...filled my pockets with some packets and mini containers.” He admitted, pulling multiple packets and hand fulls of small creamer containers. “Just y’know...for no reason.” The werewolf grunted like it was no big deal and he hadn’t been specifically considering Harvey as he went to get his own coffee. “If you want company and all.” 

“You know, I wouldn’t be so sure in this town. I think you could find a job easily hacking into computers.” Jackson admitted. The town was full of interesting people, so he wouldn’t be completely shocked that someone would need someone to hack into a few things for them. He couldn’t help but smile softly at his best friend before nodding. “Yeah, I know. At the time, it was just in my head that I had to be liked by everyone and I kind of hated how much of a dick I could be to people. I was really rude to Lydia when we broke up, it’s one thing I regret. No the breakup but the way it was handled.” He admitted. “Okay good. Hopefully we can get it and start moving in!” When Danny mentioned he had another question for him, he looked up at him. “Yeah, I wasn’t sure what to say to you and I wasn’t sure how you felt about it.” Jackson smiled. “Really? What do you want to do about it then?” He asked.

“Maybe. Guess it will be worth it to see what I can get. Can’t hurt to at least try, right?” He agreed with Jackson. “It’s okay. It’s all in the past and I bet Lydia has even forgiven you. You don’t have to be that guy anymore. I like the guy you really are. More than anything.” He admitted. He looked over at Jackson, staring at his best friend and considering everything he felt and everything he was thinking. “What I want to do is find a place. Just the two of us. Two bedrooms, but only if we need a little space from each other so we don’t get tired of it. And I want to kiss you until I forget that we wasted all this time pretending like we don’t want to kiss.” 

“That is really impressive.” Mason admitted, he couldn’t build or many anything to save his life. He really relied on his smarts, because they seemed to have kept him alive for this long. “You mean like the actual mouth of hell or is that a way to say the high school you went to was horrible? I can relate on the latter.” He admitted. Mason couldn’t help but smile at Xander. “Why would I shut you up? You are way too adorable.”

“Thanks! No one was ever really impressed by something I did. I’m not exactly the best and brightest.” He admitted. “No, the actual mouth of hell. Like open it and the apocalypse starts. We actually prevented that a time or seven.” He admitted. “Adorable? Oh man just don’t peek too far into my past cause I’ve had some real messes. Like one time I got ghost STDs.” He really should stop talking while he was ahead. 

.｡.:*☆ “Sorry. I did not mean to be such a mess.” Allison had never been so broody and always on the edge of tears before her death. Dying obviously did really change people. Just, not always for the better. “I’m glad grand dad is not here, then. Hey… do you think we could get ice cream, maybe? I do really feel like needing some now.”

“Don’t be sorry. It’s a lot to deal with.” He told her, reaching to take her hand and looking over at her, trying to comfort the human. “Ice cream sounds awesome. Let’s go pig out and relax and not think about all the shit that’s going on right now. Sound like a plan?” He offered Allison, a smile on his face. 

“That is very kind of you, because my dad was the king of bad nicknames and he may have passed it on to myself.” TK chuckled softly at him. “I’m going to compile a list together and casually drop them to see your reaction, because I want to see your actual reaction!” He nodded. “I think that sounds pretty good. Hm, I do know what about talking dolls. We should watch that? You know those porcelain dolls that old women collect and have hanging on their walls?”

“Oh yeah? Bring it on. Maybe I’ll find equally embarrassing nicknames for you. Just you wait” He teased with a smirk. “Talking dolls? Sounds super creepy. Let’s do it!” He grinned, curling up against TK while they ate, enjoying the warmth of the other man tucked against his side, not concerned about anything other than him being close, the scent of the other man. Safety and comfort. “You know, I never thought I’d get this. Mostly because I wasn’t sure I’d ever be interested in something like this. But damn if this isn’t the best feeling I’ve felt in a long time. And so y’know...thanks.” He trailed off, unsure what else to say now that he had blurted out his current feelings. 

“I never thought I’d see you again. Hell, I never thought I’d see anyone again. But god is it good to see you of all people.” Lowell breathed out, staring at Liv. “Am I completely out of line asking for a hug?”

Jackson raised an eyebrow at the other when he noticed that he seemed offended when he called him buddy. “I was just joking..” He said slowly, looking over at Danny. He hoped he was okay because after the whole make out thing in the tent and the camping trip, he was worried that maybe it was all in his head and he was going to lose his best friend. “I’m sure we can find you a job, babe. Can’t be that hard to find something for you, I mean, you are good at like everything. Not to mention you are super smart. Hell, you used to do my math homework in school.” Jackson nodded. “I liked the one you sent me where you had a whole lot of happy faces after it. It seemed like a cozy spot. Of course I still want to get a place with you. I don’t really want to live with anyone else in this crazy ass town.”

“I know, I know.” He admitted, softening significantly. “A job sounds nice. I’d like to find something in computers. You know how good I am there. But it’s not like hacking is something people look for in a legal employee.” He pointed out. “I only did it because you were too busy pretending to be an idiot for the sake of popularity. You’re more than that.” He promised his best friend. “We’ll check out that spot. I liked it a lot too. But there’s something else I liked that I want to talk about.” He pointed out, watching Jackson. “We made out. And then promptly ignored it.” He pointed out. “And that’s just as much on me as it is on you, but I want to stop. Ignoring it that is.”
