#theo raeken is beautiful and amazing

[strahable]

S5 Theo may have been slightly evil, but he was also pretty whenever he appeared, so there's that...

I'm going to talk about (and rate) 9/technically 10 of Theo's best appearances/outfits from my screenshots folder of season 5. I'm doing this in no particular order by the way.

1. First of all, this look was nothing shy of ✨ANGELIC✨ I loved the plain black V-neck shirt; it was simple, but *chef's kiss* simple.

This was also one of the few times I actually really liked his hair being cut that way.

Oh, and the lighting was AMAZING with how it really drove home that angelic look.

10/10 without a doubt 💫

2. Okay, so Theo wasn't completely decent here. I have respectfully covered him up a bit with a nice shirt (I tried to, but the marker doesn't scale and I wasn't painting the entire torso.)

This appearance was top tier from the way he terrorized Liam and Mason after chasing them as a wolf, for some reason. (I still don't know why Theo did that.)

From his smirky face and snarky attitude to the god awful night time lighting, this scene has it all. (I was uncomfortable when Theo walked away and we saw his bare ass legs, though. No, thank you.)

7/10 because Theo was very entertaining, but them bare legs was a no for me 😔

3. For this one you get a double feature simply because he's wearing the same outfit.

I loved the class scene with Theo's fun little confident air about him. I also loved the superhero landing scene as Theo went to confront Liam and Stiles about stalking him in the woods.

Theo just had to turn the tables on them and hide in a tree, then he just HAD to jump out of it and land like Superman to show off.

His hoodie was also very lovely and nice. It looked very comfortable 🥰

Only 8/10 for this one, though, because the drawstrings should have been black.

4. Anyone who has ever read some of my posts on here knows how much I LOVE this look and scene!!!

I am very biased, but every aspect of this scene was breathtaking and masterful.

From the very good mood lighting in the rain (I love rain) to the perfectly shaped eyebrows on his face.

Oh, and you can't see his outfit, but that jacket with red and black plaid sleeves was so GOOOOOD looking. It suited him so well!!!

10/10 because Theo was amazing here and his look went hard in that rain 🤭

5. This scene was amazing for both Thiam and Thayden reasons.

I'll be the first to admit that his outfit wasn't great. His hair did save the day along with his posture and the way he looked at Liam, taunting him 🫣👀

From the way Theo was standing close to Hayden to the way he kept his eyes on Liam almost the entire time, this scene has it all.

9/10 because while the outfit sucked, the scene itself was top tier 😘

6. Now, I haven't gotten to this scene in my (second) rewatch and I don't totally remember it, but the look goes HARD.

Theo's hair looks amazingly evil here. His jacket is top tier with how cool it looks. The lighting is just going to prove that Theo is a literal angel sent from below. Last, but not least, the WAY he's looking away is ALAKAKSSJSHJSJSSJSN.

10/10 and must I say why? 😉

7. I don't totally remember this scene either other than Theo talking about first loves in that jacket. Plus, a very soft scene with Scott that makes you think they were childhood crushes.

That memory alone has been ingrained into my brain so I love this look on Theo forever now.

Regardless of that scene, Theo looks amazing in that black jacket and his hair looks perfect!!!

11/10 because his scene with Scott really sold it 🥹

8. This look was just so hrrrrrm. In a good way.

The pompous flirty boy attitude and the JACKET that sells it ALL. I love that jacket so much, I want to wear that jacket. Not because Theo has worn it, but because it's a really nice jacket and it accentuates all of his torso so well. He has such canonically good taste.

I, unfortunately, have to digress that this scene is not 10/10 for me because of its atrociously depressive lighting. Somehow, Jeff Davis managed to ruin this perfect scene (aside from the dumb flirting with Malia) with some bottom tier level lighting.

3/10 fck you, Jeff 🤬

9. HRRRM.

Last, but, ooooooOooOOOOH, so not least. This scene wasn't anything special really, but the OUTFIT. The hair is okay, but the OUTFIT.

I love, love, LOVE this top on Theo so much. It suits him so well!!!!!!

Oh, and the POSE. HRM.

20/10 because I make the rules and I'm a simp for Theo Raeken 🥳

I dont think you need to excuse a character's wrongdoings to like them. You can enjoy their bad side, how complex and mean they are, and stop there. You can enjoy a character without them behaving like a respectable person would IRL (you can also like mean people IRL).

Regarding Theo, you can say that liking him leads to understanding him, and then understanding his crimes, with which I agree (see Card's Ender's Game: when you truly understand your enemy, you cannot but love them). But understanding and excusing is not the same thing.

i love doing apologism for fictional characters. yes he killed people and ruined everything but thats ok bc i like him and hes my little baby. so who cares

Teen Wolf/Theo Raeken headcanon

- Ever since Theo was young the only constants in his life were: Tara, his hair, and a book series Tara used to read to him about a young teen superhero with Intermittent Explosive Disorder. Considering his parents were always on business trips, he and Tara had to take care of themselves from the ages of five and seven respectively. When Tara died he lost two of those things, his big sister and the book series because the Dread Doctors wouldn’t let him take the books with him. - When he was eleven he was put in a school in Wichita, Kansas, and put with “Parents” that were hired by the Dread Doctors. He knew not to get too attached to these people. However, he couldn’t help but think that the little girl they had reminded him of his big sister when she was younger. That year was when he got the two things he lost when he was nine back, the little girl who reminded him so much of Tara had taken him to a bookstore after he told her about the books he remembered so little about and she had taken some of her allowance money to buy him one of the books, the first one, he read it in a week. - When he was almost twelve he went to another bookstore, this time he was in Grove, Oklahoma. He didn’t have any money, but he had a bag that could be mistaken for a backpack. He went straight to the section of the store that would hold the books made by  ‘Jenna Geyer’ and put as many of the books as he could in his bag without it looking much bigger than it had when he entered. In the end, he got the second and third books. He saw two kids a few years younger than him with an older man right outside the bookstore when he left. The kids were a boy and a girl. The boy was blonde with freckles all over his face specifically his nose and right under his eyes which were a striking electric blue. The girl had reddish hair she had some freckles as well, not as much as the little boy though, one freckle was in the outer corner of one of her eyes which were a beautiful shade of jade green. The older man had scars under his eyes and one on his chin, he and the little girl shared an eye color. The older man had said to the kids: “Remember that your mothers are waiting back at the farm, so we have to hurry to make sure they don’t worry.” The kids had just responded with bright smiles and nods. If Theo felt a little bit jealous about their family dynamic, no he didn’t. - When he was thirteen he was put in a school in Omaha, Nebraska with another family that took care of him while he was there. The school he was going to was giving away books that weren’t checked out as much as the school library thought they would be when they first got them. The fourth and newest book in Jenna Geyer’s superhero series was one of the said books, so he got to take it “Home” and keep it. He finally read through the dedications of the books he had. The first one said: “To, mo chridhe*, my youngest son, my superhero, the inspiration of this story. Liam, I love you. Thank you for being an amazing, kind, sweet boy.” The second one said: “To, my sons, solais mo bheatha**. May you always know what it is like to have a family that loves and supports you throughout whatever you do.” The third one said: “To, my darling oldest son. Camden, may you always look after your baby brothers, no matter how far away you are or if you are with your seanair***, we can find you wherever we look. The fourth one said: “To, the fans of my books, my family, and my friends. Thank you for supporting my writing. I love all of you, and may you always know that I will be in your corner no matter what. Theo now feels a little less alone in this stupid life that he was born into. - Theo is fifteen when he hears that Jenna Geyer is making a new book, and he decides to go to the closest store he can find and get the cheapest phone he can to see the updates about said book. He has grown his hair out since the last time he got one of Jenna Geyer’s books and now has a mullet. He finds out the release date of the newest book is on October 21st, 2013, a little over a month before he turns sixteen. When he gets the book he immediately reads who it’s dedicated to. The book says: “To, my ex-husband. I hope you are happy that you hurt my sons, and I hope that you are ready to face the wrath of what happens to people like you in Dubnos****.” And Theo’s jaw just fucking DROPS to the ground because, after reading all of the updates about the latest book he could find and reading the dedications for the other books he never thought that Jenna Geyer of all people would be that harsh, but, as he knew from memories of Tara, you should never hurt someone that an over-protective sibling or parent loves with all their heart. - The next house Theo is put in his “Parents” force him to cut his hair because they don’t want to be seen with a boy who has long hair no matter if it’s a mullet or not. He cuts it, but not much, not wanting to lose the only thing that is still under his control. After he leaves that house he cuts his hair short on his own accord, not because some strangers forced him to. - When he goes back to Beacon Hills, he hasn’t yet become seventeen and he’s standing in front of his old best friends in the pouring rain, explaining why he’s back. He knows he’s being followed when he hears Stiles talking with someone who he can’t recognize the voice of. - When he gets back from Hell (for lack of a better term) he’s met with Liam and Hayden’s faces and scents, but he immediately pushes Liam against the wall, because he’s scared, but also because he feels the need to be in control of a situation for the first time in months. - After the final fight against the hunters at the hospital, he walks over to Gabe and kneels down in front of him, holding his arm and asking: “Does it hurt anymore?” Gabe had responded with a simple: “No.” Theo looked at Gabe and said: “Good.” - One day, after Theo and Liam get together, Theo is over at Liam’s after spending the night the day beforehand and they’re making breakfast for themselves and Liam’s parents when Dr. Geyer and Liam’s mom walk downstairs. Liam’s mom came downstairs first, seeing Theo and Liam singing along to We Will Rock You by Queen. “Hello, are you one of Liam’s friends?” Liam’s mom had asked when she saw Theo, having not met him before. Theo turned to her and when he saw who she was he whispered: “Putain De Merde... tu l'es... hum... Salut*****.” closing his eyes, embarrassed that he started speaking in French. Jenna just looked confused as Theo looked between her and Liam, who was wearing a matching look of confusion, while Theo continued to ramble in the languages he knows. Italian. (Liam and Jenna not understanding anything he’s saying) French. (Liam catching onto a few words, but not enough to understand what he’s talking about) German. (No fucking clue) Latin. (Again, no fucking clue) Turkish. (Liam and Jenna wearing matching looks of concern) Liam puts his hand on Theo’s shoulder and he starts to calm down. He’s still speaking in another language, but this time it’s just French. He starts to get angry with himself before mumbling: “Bon sang, Théo, Anglais. Tu parles à ton idole et tu ne peux même pas dire un putain de mot, imbécile******!” Jenna doesn’t know what he’s saying, but she knows it’s self-deprecating and she’s not having any of that under her roof. “Take your time, I don’t mind.” Jenna says, placing a hand on the shoulder Liam doesn’t have his hand on. Theo looks at her and blurts out: “I love your books!” Jenna looks pleasantly surprised at what he said while Liam looks confused because he didn’t clock Theo as the type to like superhero books. However he also didn’t clock Theo as the type to like him, so... “That’s very sweet of you to say.” Jenna replies, smiling at Theo softly, and then something dawns on him. The dedication of the first book coming back to him:  “To, mo chridhe*, my youngest son, my superhero, the inspiration of this story. Liam, I love you. Thank you for being an amazing, kind, sweet boy.“ Theo just turns to Liam, eyes wide. Liam looks at him confused. “What?” Liam asks softly, Theo stares for a little longer before he questions: “Have you never read who the first book your mom wrote was for?" Liam nods slowly before confusion turns into embarrassment, making Theo smirk widely. Jenna looks between the two before clearing her throat. Liam turns to his mom before she asks: "So... how do you two know each other exactly?" Liam blushes even more before saying to Jenna and David: "Mom, Dad, this is Theo Raeken. My boyfriend. Theo, these are my parents." Theo stretches his hand out for David to take, having already been comforted by Jenna in her own goddamned home. Jenna has a smile on her face for the rest of the day, and Theo will be embarrassed for the next month because of this ONE encounter!

*My Heart (Scottish Gaelic) Based on @waiting-to-be-lost-at-sea ‘s nickname for Liam from Jenna. **The lights of my life (Scottish Gaelic) ***Grandfather (Scottish Gaelic) ****Celtic Mythology equivalent to Hell *****Holy Shit... you are... um...

Summary:

Before he’s even fully conscious of the decision to move, Luka is entering the bathroom. Leo is washing his hands when suddenly, Luka hears a gunshot. Footsteps race past the bathroom door and a radio crackles to life.

“Lockdown. Lock down the grounds. We have a shooter.”

Life has been amazing for the two once again mates. They were looking into moving but hadn’t picked a place yet too focused on now having two little monkeys running around.

Luka is the best big brother, always making sure little brother Leo is safe and happy. Theo dotes on them, and Stiles can’t get enough of the alpha. That may be why they so quickly got pregnant with their next pup.

Their third child is only a year old now and his name is Laiken. Unlike his older brother, Luka, who is an alpha, Laiken is an omega like Leo and their daddy. It’s why Theo and Luka are even more protective over the younger pups.

Lydia and Parrish got married a couple months after Leo was born and then Isaac and Allison got married just before Laiken was born. Erica met an alpha named Brett who transferred in as a cop working under Jordan and they mated just a couple months after Laiken was born. They may have been newly mated, but they seemed like they had known each other for their entire lives.

About halfway through Stiles’s pregnancy with Laiken, Theo and Stiles found the one. The house was perfect for their still growing family. It is a beautiful pastel green country home with plenty of room for the kids to grow and play. It has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room, a basement, an attic and a double garage. Not to mention a tree house that Brett, Jordan, Isaac and Theo built during the second half of Stiles’s pregnancy with Laiken.

Every day is a gift, and every night is special. Theo loves coming home to a home cooked meal whenever he works and Stiles has the day off but of course, there is none of that traditional sexist omega role stuff in their home. Nothing makes Theo happier than a content smelling omega mate.

“Hey, kitten,” Theo says softly, curling around his mate’s back where Stiles stands at the stove.

Stiles smiles and leans against his mate, purring when the alpha’s hands cup his swollen belly. He’s only two months along but he’s showing quite a bit already. “Hey. How was work?”

Nipping the omega’s neck, Theo doesn’t answer right away, offering a soft hum against pale skin. “Good, but this is better.”

“You’re welcome,” Stiles says with a grin, his cheeks bright pink at the attention. He will never get tired of being doted on.

Two pairs of feet come barreling towards them and soon, Theo has two monkeys attached to his legs.

“DAAAAAAD!!!” the two boys shriek.

Stiles gives a soft chiding rumble and gestures to their baby brother who is sound asleep in his playpen. “Boys.”

Luka looks at their daddy with a frown. “Sorry, Daddy.”

Leo copies his brother, something he’s doing more and more of lately. “Sowwy 'oo, Da’dy.”

The adorableness of his children makes it hard for Stiles to stay mad. So, he scents them, ruffles their hair and ushers them to the table. His gaze locks with Theo’s and he offers a tired smile.

Sadly, the two parents have some disappointing news for their kids. Tomorrow the boys have career day at school, but both Theo and Stiles will be on shift and unable to attend. After dinner, they’re dropping the boys off at Lydia’s house, so they’ll have a ride to school tomorrow.

Since Stiles cooked, Theo serves them and they all dig in, the boys expressing their absolute love for the food.

Laiken sits in his highchair, giggling as Luka and Leo make funny faces at him. It results in a very messy baby with the spaghetti sauce all over his little face, but it makes Stiles smile fondly just the same. His little family is happy, healthy and content. What more could he want?

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

“Why can’t we stay home, Dad?” Luka asks as he looks out the window of the SUV.

Theo glances in the rearview mirror at his son and sighs softly. “Daddy and I have to work, pup.”

Luka sniffles. “Daddy is gonna miss my story though.” He glances at Leo when the younger boy squeezes his hand. Even as sleepy as he is, Leo recognizes when his brother is upset.

“I know. Daddy and I are so very sorry, Luka, but Aunt Lydia is going to record it for me and daddy to watch later. We’ll be there to pick you up from school. Okay?”

They pull into the driveway, seeing Lydia and Jordan already waiting for them. Theo is grateful to have his mate back and he promised Lydia he wouldn’t hurt Stiles again. The way the redhead hugs him tonight is another acknowledgement of the alpha’s kept promise to keep her brother happy, healthy and to love him no matter what.

Luka doesn’t want his dad to leave but he knows sleep is very important. Otherwise, people might get hurt if dad is too sleepy. So, he wraps his arms around his dad and scents him, hugging the alpha tightly.

Aunt Lydia and Uncle Jordan let him and Leo stay on the steps until the SUV is out of sight, but then it’s bedtime.

Stiles drops Laiken off with Allison, grateful she has the day off tomorrow and not wanting to overwhelm his sister with all three boys at once.

When the two parents arrive home, they manage to go about their nightly routine and exchange a couple brief and chaste kisses before slipping under the covers. By the time they are settled with the lights off, it’s just half past eight. That should give them plenty of time to sleep. Theo’s hands, even in sleep, cradle the baby bump protectively, the omega’s back flush against the alpha’s chest the entire night.

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

Breakfast is yummy and Luka loves oatmeal with brown sugar. He still makes a face when Leo gobbles up raisins with his brown sugar oatmeal. The younger pup is more a fan of dried fruit than fresh fruit which Luka thinks is weird, but he loves his little brother as he is, even if he likes wrinkly fruit. It’s almost eight thirty and soon, they’ll leave for school.

Luka, who is eight, is now in third grade and his brother Leo, who is three, is in preschool. Their youngest sibling, Laiken, is only a year old and stays with Aunt Allison instead of going to daycare.

Today is career day at their school, but unfortunately, their dads aren’t able to come to career day. They had told Leo and Luka last night when dropping them off at Aunt Lydia’s that they would come as soon as their shifts were over.

However, that won’t be possible because just before six am, there was a fire and their dad had to be on scene. Then just before six thirty am there was an emergency pile up on the highway that their daddy got called in for. It was Aunt Lydia who got the boys to school. She told them on the way there that their parents had texted her about the emergencies.

Of course, Luka is disappointed. He has kept his story a secret so he could surprise his daddy, but he won’t get to surprise him now. Still, despite his disappointment, Luka understands and proceeds to listen to his classmates read their stories about who their heroes are.

“My hero is my grandpa. He fought in the war and won a purple heart. He even let me hold it one time. The reason he’s my hero isn’t because he won a medal or because he fought in a war but because he was the one who taught me how to not be afraid to be myself even when everyone else said I shouldn’t be me,” a boy named Carter says.

Luka stares down at his own paper, the words of his peers washing over him and wonders if his story is good enough to convey just how much he loves his hero. Sometimes words don’t seem like enough even though he has a lot of them.

For a long time, it was just him and his daddy. Then dad came back and now they have Leo and Laiken, Aunt Lydia, Uncle Jordan, Aunt Ally, Uncle Isaac and Auntie Erica with her new mate Uncle Brett. Despite having all those people, Luka remembers nights when it was just him and his daddy. Luka wants to be just like his daddy, especially because he is just as protective of his brothers Leo and Laiken as his daddy is of all of them. It would be cool to be someone’s hero one day.

When the teacher calls his name, Luka goes to the front and takes a deep breath. Once he steadies himself, he begins to read from his paper.

“My name is Lukanus but I like to be called Luka. When Ms. Peterson said we have to write a story about our hero, I knew right away who I would choose. My hero is my daddy. He’s a nurse, a paramedic and a detective. My daddy helps lots of people and even saved my dad. When I was little it was just me and my daddy and no matter what, he was always there.

“He taught me how to love, how to forgive, how to be strong when it’s hardest and how to keep going when I thought it was too hard. My daddy is the bravest, smartest, strongest and best person in the whole wide universe. He also taught me that biology doesn’t make anyone less than anyone else. He’s an omega and he taught me what that means.

“I love my daddy so very much and want to be just like him. I want to be the kind of man, kind of person, kind of human being my daddy is because if there were more people like him, then the world would be the safest and best place ever. He’s been given accolades by the police force, the hospital and the city for his efforts in protecting lives.

“My daddy was named Hero of the Year twice and got to meet the president but even though those things are really cool and not everybody can say those things have happened to their daddy, that’s not why he is my hero. He’s my hero because he taught me what it means to be a man and what it means to be a good human being.

“I watch him with my dad and know what it means to love someone unconditionally. I watch him with my younger brothers and know what it means to protect someone with everything you have. I watch my daddy and I wanna be just like him when I grow up. I’m already doing my best to embody all that is my daddy.

“I am grateful that my daddy is my daddy and because of who he is and what he’s done for me my whole life, he is my hero.”

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

Luka did really well reading his story, at least he thinks he did good, based on the smile on Aunt Lydia’s face. She has recorded it on her phone so his daddy can see it later. She has to get to work now but hugs him tightly and kisses his forehead. “I’m proud of you, pup. You did really well.”

“Really?” Luka says.

“Really really.”

“Do you think Daddy will like it?” he asks quietly, chewing his lip.

Lydia’s expression softens as she pulls her nephew into a tight embrace. “He’s going to love it.” With another kiss to Luka’s forehead, Lydia heads out, sending him another smile over her shoulder.

Everyone has read their hero story now and it’s time for math. Then they’ll have lunch. After reading his story and having been a bit nervous, Luka raises his hand to ask if he can go get a drink.

“Of course, Luka. Take the pass and come right back. Okay?” Ms. Peterson says.

“Yes ma’am. Thank you.” Luka takes the pass and leaves the classroom.

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

During this past summer, Luka spent a lot of time at the school since his daddy teaches CPR and First Aid classes. So, he is easily able to find his way to the water fountain.

He notices his brother Leo going into the bathroom and smiles at him before pressing the bar to get a drink. It’s while Luka is getting a drink at the water fountain that his tummy gets a knot of worry. Something isn’t right. Dad always says to trust his instincts because they will never steer him wrong.

Before he’s even fully conscious of the decision to move, Luka is entering the bathroom. Leo is washing his hands when suddenly, Luka hears a gunshot. Footsteps race past the bathroom door and a radio crackles to life.

“Lockdown. Lock down the grounds. We have a shooter.”

Luka’s eyes widen in fear, but Leo hasn’t noticed yet and he intends to make sure Leo is safe. He quickly locks the bathroom door and goes over to his brother. “Leo?”

The boy looks up at him and tilts his head at his older brother’s expression. “Wuka otay?”

“I’m okay but we’re going to play a game. Okay?”

Leo smiles, his eyes lighting up. “Otay! Wha’ ‘ame?”

Footsteps echo louder and louder, a bang sounding on the bathroom door. Luka is grateful he locked it. Searching for an escape, he sees the window. “This way, Leo,” he says, keeping his voice low. “We’re gonna play spies. You gotta squeeze through here and go tell Aunt Lydia the secret code.”

“Otay!” Leo says and giggles when Luka lifts him up and pushes him out the window. “Wha’ ‘ode Wuka?”

Luka swallows thickly. “I love you, braciszek.”

Leo tilts his head and smiles. “Wuv you ‘oo, Wuka!”

“Go find Aunt Lydia. Go!” Luka says urgently.

“Otay! I ‘o.

Luka nods, holding back tears. "Okay. Go," he says with more urgency.

Leo nods and waves. "Bah, Wuka!”

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

Just as Leo is out of sight, the door is kicked in and a man enters with a big gun in his hands. When the shooter enters the bathroom, time seems to slow down. Dark eyes with hate and rage in them zero in on Luka. The man raises his gun and without remorse or any sign of care, the shooter pulls the trigger.

BANG!

The sound is deafening, and Luka lets out a barely audible gasp. The bullet hits Luka right in the stomach and the little alpha is too stunned to do anything but gape in shock.

Meanwhile, the shooter kicks open each stall door and then leaves, time resuming its normal speed once more. Luka is so glad he got his brother out. He falls to the ground and coughs wetly, his vision blurring.

Luka still hears bangs sporadically but they’re getting softer which means further away. He’s so sleepy but he can’t sleep. Not yet. Not until daddy comes. Daddy will—Daddy will make it all better. After all, daddy is Luka’s hero.

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

Stiles has just gotten back from the ICU where a victim of the pileup is finally stabilized. Jordan hands him a cup of coffee and Stiles sends his brother in law a grateful tired smile.

Jordan’s radio crackles, interrupting their conversation.

“10-71 in progress. Barker Aspen Elementary school.”

Time freezes, the coffee cup slipping from the omega’s fingers, his vision going nearly black. That’s where Luka and Leo are. Jordan is so focused on the call code he misses Stiles’s immediate exit. By the time he notices, Stiles is already almost to the school, uncaring of speed limits.

Stiles can barely form any coherent thoughts and by now he recognizes the signs enough to know he won’t be saying anything even if he could form thoughts. The omega can’t feel the bond with his eldest son. It is taking everything he has not to go omega feral and right now, he is about to drop off the edge, into that ferality. Stiles can only thank whoever is watching over them that their youngest is with Allison today.

He idly wonders where Theo is and whether or not the alpha knows about the shooting. That thought slips away from him when the faintest thump comes through his bond with Luka and nothing else matters to Stiles now except his son.

If anyone was to scent his emotions before he entered the school, they would catch terror, grief and guilt. Chemosignals do help when the person exuding them can’t. With Stiles now omega feral and nonverbal, he won’t have anything for them when it comes to his state of mind.

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

Stiles tugs on his offspring's bond and it leads him to a bathroom halfway between Luka and Leo’s classrooms. The door is only connected with one hinge, but Stiles ignores the splinters he gets as he pushes into the small room.

It’s there that he finds his son. Luka is silent and still and so very very pale. It takes a second for Stiles’s eyes to process what his nose already has. His pup is lying in a pool of blood. All sense and humanity leave the omega and he is lost to instinct as he falls to his knees splattering crimson everywhere. His hands cup his son’s face, claws careful not to break the skin as he lets out a high pitched whine of fear and grief.

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

Lydia has Leo in her arms and the poor thing is so confused. Lydia works in an office space just next door to the school and was shocked when Leo wandered over but as soon as he told her what happened, she phoned the police, and Isaac who had heard from Jordan. Stiles was missing.

When Isaac arrives at the school he goes right up to Lydia and his second godson. “Stiles?” he says quietly so as not to disturb a now sleeping Leo.

“Kindergarten bathroom. Isaac it’s—”

“It’ll be okay, Lyds,” Isaac says and gently scents both her and the pup before heading inside to find his best friend.

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

The omega has pulled his son into his lap and is rocking back and forth, his thumb pressed lightly against the pulse point of his son’s throat. It’s the only thing keeping him grounded in some way, knowing that his son isn’t gone yet. He doesn’t care about the slick feeling of the blood. He doesn’t care about the splinters in his skin. All he cares about is his little monkey.

When Isaac finds his best friend, his godson’s daddy is completely feral. Normally, Theo would be enough to calm Stiles, but he isn’t there and all Stiles can see is the blood. Luka manages to slur out a single word. “L’o?”

“Safe,” Isaac says.

Stiles snarls slightly, his focus on his son but his body tenses in preparation to fight if need be.

Isaac remains hovering nearby, knowing better than to get between an omega and his child. He’s grateful that Lydia has Leo as they can’t let Leo see Luka like this. He idly looks at the officers standing just down the hall and feels a rush of relief hit him when he hears them say the shooter is dead. Perhaps Isaac should feel bad for being glad, but he doesn’t. Not with the state his best friend is in because of the shooter.  

After all the months of being there for every step of Stiles’s first pregnancy, Isaac knows the reason his best friend is feral and has gone nonverbal. He kneels down, his own beta scent not posing a threat like an alpha’s scent would. “Miko?” he whispers.

He gets no response from the omega who hasn’t stopped rocking his son or stopped caressing the boy’s pulse point with a needy whine. Stiles’s hands are slick with blood, and he looks lost, but then something ignites inside him, his body stilling. A wave of calm washes over him and he snarls.

Isaac stills completely and watches in shock as Stiles sinks his fangs into Luka’s arm with zero hesitation.

There’s not much in the way of blood left but Stiles holds on tight with sharp fangs, unwilling to let go until it’s taken. His eyes flash and his claws are still out, but he never breaks his son’s skin the claws. If Stiles were coherent, he’d realize his fox ears are out now and they swivel in alertness every few seconds. However, none of these things get through to him, his jaw clamped tight to ensure his bite takes.

The boy is startled but hardly feels anything but numb as he looks up at his daddy. “Kn’w yo’d co’e fur ma. Dad’y m’ he’o.”

Isaac is in shock of what he has just witnessed his friend do. Omega bites are rare and only used when—He swallows thickly at the slowly strengthening heartbeat of his godson. No wonder Stiles is feral.

Stiles is even more volatile with his emotions now because he is once again pregnant. This time they are hoping for their first baby girl. The two mates haven’t even told their boys about the baby yet. Isaac is hoping to hell that Luka survives as Luka in particular has been wanting a baby sister and if Luka doesn’t make it, Isaac isn’t sure they’ll get Stiles back.

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

When the ambulance comes and loads Luka up after Isaac finishes stabilizing him, Stiles lets out a persistent snarl at anyone who gets too close. Only Isaac handing the omega a sweatshirt of Theo’s with the alpha’s scent, calms Stiles down enough to let the rescue workers close the ambulance doors. Soon, they are on their way to the hospital.

As the ambulance gets further away, Isaac pulls out his phone and calls Theo. Since Stiles and Theo had gotten back together nearly four years ago, Isaac and Theo have become really good friends though not as good as he and Stiles are. After all, Isaac and Stiles have known each other since they were children. They were the first person they each came out to, Isaac coming out as bisexual when they were twelve and Stiles coming out as gay when they were thirteen.

His heart clenches as he calls his friend’s number. Isaac hates that he has such terrible news to give his friend, but he doesn’t want Theo to go in blind. He doesn’t want the alpha to be shocked when he arrives at the hospital to find his mate feral, and nonverbal. That is not even considering just how deep into his instincts Stiles is now.

Isaac has never seen his best friend with fangs, claws and glowing eyes but it’s not as shocking as it might be to others. After all, Isaac would have gone full primal too if it had been his eldest pup with a gunshot wound in his little tummy. For all that alphas are considered fiercer, it is omegas who truly are the fiercest especially when it comes to their families and even more so when it comes to their pups.

“Isaac? What’s up?”

“You need to get to the hospital, Theo. It’s Luka.”

Jordan Parrish - Sorry Theo

Warning: SMUT

comment for pt.2

I made my way through the mall shopping bags consuming both of my hands my eyes scanned the food court trying to decide what I want but my eyes stopped on a brown haired boy other wise known as Theo Raeken aka my boyfriend. He was sitting next to some girl with his arm wrapped around her waist and he shot her a big smile as he leaned in kissing her lips. Tears threatened to spill out of my eyes as I stood there watching them and Theos face dropped as he saw me watching them and I turned around exhaling before going to the exit. Once I got in my car tears spilled down my cheeks and I punched the steering wheel in anger. I saw Theo running out of the mall towards my car and I drove away quickly speeding to get home tears blurring my vision.

Red and blue lights began flashing behind me and I let out a chuckle of disbelief wiping my tears away as I saw the cop approaching. I rolled down my window not looking at the officer.

"Y/N?" I turned my head seeing Parrish standing at my window his face dropping when seeing mascara running down my cheeks and my eyes puffy and red. I wiped the rest of my tears away sending him a fake smile and he placed his hand on the roof of my car leaning in slightly.

"I pulled you over for speeding but I'm just going to give you a warning. What happened?" There was a lump in my throat stopping me from speaking and I swallowed it trying to get my breathing back to normal.

"Theo cheated on me." I whispered sadly looking at the promise ring he got me taking it off and putting it in the trash can that I keep in my car. I tried to stop the tears but they spilled out like a waterfall and Jordan reached in my car grabbing my hand gently. Jordan and I have been friends way before Theo came into the picture and to be honest I once had feelings for Jordan. I mean he was so handsome, sweet, caring, funny, and always made me feel safe. I assumed he didn't feel the same so when Theo moved into town I fell for him not knowing Jordans feelings towards me. I had no idea that all Jordan wanted to do was find Theo and beat his ass for hurting a beautiful and innocent soul and person like you.

"How about this, after my shift I'll come over and we can watch movies and eat ice cream all night okay?" I nodded a real smile coming across my face as I thanked Parrish telling him I'll leave the door unlocked.

"Drive slower Y/L/N. See you in forty minutes." Parrish warned in a playful tone walking back to his cruiser and I drove home taking a shower changing into my matching blue silk pajama set. I blocked Theos number as he spammed my phone with texts and calls. I deleted all the pictures of us on my phone and I headed upstairs putting all of Theos clothes and things he's ever given me into a box.

"Want help?" I heard a voice behind me and I turned around seeing Jordan leaning against my door frame wearing a black zip up and gray sweatpants and damn he looked good as hell.

"I'm actually done.” I threw the box on the ground sitting on my bed as Jordan came sitting next to me laying down pulling me down with him. He grabbed my hand and shifted his body to face me. "So what happened?"

"I was walking around the mall and saw Theo kissing some girl in the food court." I frowned looking up at the ceiling not wanting to meet Jordans gaze.

"His fucking loss. You are the most amazing and perfect person in this world, you're so kind and caring, you're selfless, you always see the good in people. He was never good enough for you." Jordan softly said his words making me feel a little better. Jordan stood up his hand still in mine and he lead me down to the living room handing me my favorite ice cream making my face light up and thanking Jordan. I sat down on the couch him plopping beside me wrapping an arm around my shoulder pulling me into him. I stared at the tv zoning out thinking if I could've done something to stop Theo from cheating.

"Do you think there was something I could've done to prevent Theo from cheating?" I felt Parrishs body tense up and he paused the movie before turning to face me.

"There is nothing you could've done. You're out of his league this has to do with his own insecurity not about you." Jordan grabbed both of my hands making me look at him. I nodded wiping away my tears knowing Theo wasn't worth crying over if he didn't even respect me. Jordan reached up wiping away the remaining tears leaning in closer to me. "Just forget about him." I let out a chuckle.

"How am I supposed to do that?"

"Let me help." Jorans tone was hopeful and I looked up meeting his gaze and I glanced down at his lips leaning forward closing the gap between us and he smiled into the kiss placing his hands on my waist, one of mine on the side of his neck the other tangled in his hair. He picked me up never breaking the kiss leading me to my room placing me on my bed closing the door. He climbed on top of me kissing up my body and unbuttoning my top letting it slide off my shoulders. He made his way from my jaw to my collarbone leaving light kisses all over.

"You.are.so.gorgeous." He said with a kiss between the words his eyes never leaving me as he pulled my shorts down my legs kissing the inside of my thighs. He leaned back unzipping his zip up leaving him in a blue Nike tank-top that showed off his muscles. I sat up leaning forward pulling his top over his head kissing his abs down to his erection through his sweatpants hooking my fingers in his waistband pulling them down exposing his length making my jaw drop and my core to grow wetter. He caressed my cheek before pushing me back onto the bed aligning himself with my entrance before looking at me for conformation.

"Fuck me Jordan, make me feel so good." He slowly entered me letting me adjust before fulling entering me once I was comfortable making me gasp as he filled me all the way up. He thrusted into me making me moan his name loudly and he dipped his head down to kiss my neck.

"Keep moaning my name baby." Jordan groaned against my neck licking over the bruises he's made. He hooked one of my legs around my waist grabbing at my thigh as his cock slid in and out of me. He was so deep and going so fast I couldn't even form a short sentence all I could say was his name. He stood up standing at the edge of the bed and he grabbed my legs dragging me to the edge holding my legs open.

"J-Jordan, Jordan, Jordan." I moaned over and over causing him to smirk spreading my legs wider my mouth falling open. "Does my cock make you feel good baby?" Jordan teased knowing I couldn't speak at the moment. I opened my mouth to answer but only moans came out as Jordan picked up his pace. We were both so concentrated on each other we didn't hear the door downstairs close or the footsteps approaching my room. The door swung open revealing Theo and my body froze but it seemed that Jordan picked up his pace. I tried to move but Parrish held my hips firmly keeping me still.

"What the fuck is going on?" Theo yelled in anger but he knew better than to mess than Parrish knowing he would get his ass kicked. Parrish had a proud smirk on his face as he rubbed my thighs.

"What does it look like Raeken? I'm pleasing her, something you couldn't do." Theo let out a low growl watching Parrish kiss all over me and making moans leave my lips repeatedly.

"I can't believe you fucked up. How does it feel knowing and seeing that you'll never have her again?" Parrish placed my legs over his shoulders hitting a new spot making me scream out Jordans name.

"Hear that Theo, she's screaming my name. Not yours." Jordan sent Theo a cocky smile and Theos eyes were glowing yellow and Jordan glowed his fire orange eyes at Theo. Theo went to leave but Jordan spoke up. "Take that box with you it has all your shit in it." Jordan said nodding his head in the direction of the box and Theo growled at him grabbing the box then leaving my house.

Jordans head hung low as his thrusts became sloppy and I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him down for a sloppy kiss. My legs began to shake as I felt my orgasm approaching and Jordan reached down rubbing my clit making me shriek.

"Cum with me baby." Jordan encouraged thrusting a few more times before he released into me filling me up moaning above me as I moved my hips in a circle taking every last drop. Jordan pulled out of me and cleaned me up before pulling his pants on. When he wasn't paying attention I hid his shirt and put on his zip-up, it being big on me.

"Where'd you throw my shirt?" Jordan asked looking all over the room for it as I shrugged innocently tucking it under my pillow more. Jordan caught me staring at his abs and he laughed realizing I hid his shirt from him and put on his jacket so he would stay shirtless. He sat in front of me on my bed pulling me onto his lap caressing my thighs and kissing my neck softly. "Keep this. You look so pretty in it." A blush rose to my cheeks and I turned my head hiding my face but Jordan grabbed my face gently making me look at him and he pinched my red cheeks playfully causing us to giggle. I rested my head on his shoulder as he rubbed my back soothingly kissing my temple.

"Can I take you out on a date? I understand if it's too soon because of Theo but I would love-" I smashed my lips to his cutting him off tangling my fingers in his hair. "I would absolutely love to go on a date with you." He smiled brightly laying me down on the bed pulling the blankets over me turning on the tv before going downstairs and coming back up with my ice cream. He climbed in next to me handing me my ice cream pulling me close to him as he turned on 'Mulan' knowing it was one of my favorite movies. I heard him let out a quiet laugh before showing me his phone that had a text from Theo telling Jordan to meet him somewhere so he could kick his ass.

"Are you going to go?"

"Of course I don't want to miss being able to kick his sorry chimera ass."

"Can I watch?" I said enthusiastically and he raised an eyebrow at me tilting his head slightly. “You want to watch me kick his ass?” He chuckled moving to hover over me and he dipped his head into the crook of my neck leaving more marks on my neck.

“Yes.” I moaned quietly, he smirked against my skin kissing up to my lips. “Mark me up baby to piss him off even more when I win.” I flipped us over and Jordan slid his hands down to my ass grabbing it as I sucked harshly on his neck licking the spot occasionally. “This is going to be fun.” Jordan flipped us back over smiling down at me.

Dunbar, Dunbar and Raeken: A Theo Raeken Imagine

Request from Anon: hey bestie, i love ur work so much! i’d like to request an imagine where the reader is liam’s twin sister and her and theo have been dating in secret, and at some sort of dance or event when they’re dancing and flirting and whatever, liam kinda works it out and confronts them, he doesn’t really like it at first but then comes round because he can see theo makes reader really happy. i hope this makes sense! i know ur super busy so no rush at all, have a lovely day! xx

Hope this is okay for you lovely, and enjoy x 

There were three people in Y/N’s relationship. There was her, the ever loving girlfriend, Theo Raeken, her perfect boyfriend, and Liam, her twin brother who always seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Of course, it wasn’t his fault. He didn’t know that his sister was dating someone as she had chosen not to tell him, not wanting his protective brotherly side to become too much of a nuisance. It had been bad enough when she had gone on a date with that guy last semester and Y/N dreaded to think what it would be like when he found out that his sister, younger by a matter of minutes, was dating Theo Raeken of all people.

She could hear it now, the cries of disgust, the persistent nagging as Liam would try to remind her just who he was.

Y/N knew who he was. He was Theo.

He was kind and considerate. He was protective and loving. He was a damn good kisser. Y/N laughed to herself at that. In all seriousness, Theo was everything she had ever wanted in a boyfriend. He made her heart flutter against her ribcage, made her smile all the time, made her feel beautiful.

He made her happy, and it was times like these, as he looked at her from across the room with wonder in his eyes, that she wanted to run over and tell him she loved him for the very first time.

But there was Liam sat next to her, the third person in the relationship and he didn’t even know it.

It had been Mason’s idea to come here, her brother’s best friend deciding that he was capable of sneaking into a club even though he wasn’t twenty-one. The bouncer clearly wasn’t very good at his job, accepting the fake IDs with ease and letting in Y/N, Liam, Mason and Corey. A simple text message on Y/N’s part had Theo arriving too, and she had been so relieved to see him.

Liam, however, was naturally suspicious. “Why is he here?”

“No idea. But I’m going to get drinks.” Y/N stood, throwing a quick glance at Theo. She hoped he would get the hint.

She arrived at the bar, ordering another of what she’d just had – some kind of cocktail, she wasn’t sure – before downing it. All she wanted was some alone time with her boyfriend, all she wanted was to kiss him in front of everyone, not caring what her brother thought.

The Dunbar twins were supposed to be a team, but right now, it felt like Y/N was trying to one-up her brother. She hated it, loving him only like a sister should.

“How does that feel?” All of Y/N’s anxiety disappeared at the sound of Theo’s voice. She turned to face him, lips parted as she took in how the strobe lights illuminated his true beauty. He was hers, something she still couldn’t quite believe, and he was here.

“Better now you’re here.” She wanted to kiss him, but Liam was watching. She placed her hand on the bar, and smiled to herself as Theo’s hand found the surface too. His fingertips pressed against hers ever so gently, a sign of reassurance that he was there for her.

“You look amazing, Y/N.” Theo smiled at her as she blushed, not an uncommon occurrence when they interacted. God, she wanted to kiss him, wanted to intertwine her fingers with his and let the world – let her brother – know that he was hers, and she was his. “You always do.”

“I fucking knew it.” Y/N turned as Liam appeared next to her side. “I fucking knew you had a thing for my sister. Well, stay away from her, Theo, she’s not interested in you.”

Y/N rolled her eyes. Here was that protective brotherly side that she was worried would be a nuisance. Liam had clearly been listening in on the conversation between Y/N and Theo, and had obviously put two and two together. “Liam, what the Hell?”

“Y/N, just get away from him.”

“No.” It was now or never. Y/N put her hand in Theo’s like she’d been wanting to do all night, resisting the urge to bite her bottom lip when he smiled at her. “He’s not just interested in me, Liam. He’s my boyfriend.”

Y/N had never seen her brother stunned into silence before. But she knew that it meant he wasn’t happy about something. He had just found out his little unit with his sister had a third party, one with a different name.

It was no longer Dunbar and Dunbar.

It was Dunbar, Dunbar and Raeken.

Y/N needed her brother to accept Theo. So she said the only thing she knew, the thing she hadn’t even told Theo yet. “Liam, I love him.”

“You what?” Liam looked at her.

“Yeah, you what?” Y/N’s eyes were only on Theo as he looked down at her, their hands still intertwined.

“I love you.”

Theo smiled, before leaning down and kissing her, all thoughts of her brother having disappeared. “I love you too.”

When they parted, Y/N took one final look at her brother. “Liam?”

“He really makes you happy, huh?”

“He really does.”

“Well,” Liam seemed to chew on his words, “then I guess it’s okay. I’m not happy about it, but it’s okay.”

Y/N pulled her twin into a hug. “Thank you.”

“Just no making out in my presence.”

Y/N looked between her brother and her boyfriend, the two most important men in her life, the other members of her relationship. Y/N and Liam Dunbar, and Theo Raeken. The perfect team. “Can’t promise anything.”

[mythoughtsxxblog]

I just finished Teen Wolf and I'm not okay 😭 finishing a show is one of the worst feelings ever. Not that anyone cares but here's my breakdown of how I felt about each season..

Season 1

This season was cute and a bit cheesy lol. The acting was interesting to say the least but obviously it was most of the actors' first major acting role so it's understandable that they'd be a bit cringe....well minus Dylan O'Brien's amazing self. He was great even from the beginning (as you'll notice I'm quite biased lol). This is probably an unpopular opinion but Jackson was an enjoyable character for me. He had his flaws, but something about him made me like him a lot (it didn't help that he was played by Colton Haynes who is absolutely wonderful). I would also like to add that Lydia's character development is phenomenal as the seasons go on. Seeing her and Stiles together here and comparing it to the final season.....ugh beautiful 😭 also this may be an unpopular opinion? I love Peter Hale lol

Season 2

This season was so much better in terms of acting and storylines. The scene at the end with Jackson "dying" and then coming back to life was insane. I was legit on a rollercoaster of emotions during that entire final episode. Also this was the season that gifted us the lovely Isaac Lahey. What an amazing character that deserved nothing but the best.

Season 3

THE GOAT SEASON. ICONIC. FLAWLESS. BEAUTIFUL. VOID STILES >>>>>>>> This season was absolutely incredible and Dylan O'Brien deserved a shit ton of acting awards for his performance as Void Stiles. Anyone that thinks this was just another "teen show" needs to watch this season because it's so much more than that!

Just a few more thoughts....

Although Allison annoyed me at times, I sobbed like a baby when she died.

Sorry but Allison/Isaac > Allison/Scott 🤭

ISAAC DESERVED BETTER!!!

The Stydia panic attack kiss killed me!!!! I will forever be mad that the writers didn't make them official this season. Not to say I hated Stalia because they were cute too (her being the big spoon ❤) but Stydia just felt right.

Aiden's death scene was top notch acting. I was bawling my eyes out.

Season 4

Derek's last full season 😭 ngl this season is lowkey forgettable only cause it followed such an amazing season with a great story arc. It was also randomly 12 episodes again like???

Season 5

This season was great! So much Stydia!!!! The whole Dread Doctors story arc was interesting and kept me fully invested especially considering it was a storyline for both parts of the season.

Not to mention this season introduced us to Theo Raeken aka Cody Christian! Don't know if this is an unpopular opinion or not but I loved his character even when he was a little shit lol.

Also Kira deserved better!

Season 6

I truly enjoyed 6A. Although it was annoying not seeing as much of Stiles as I would have liked, it was still very much a Stiles-centric season. Being the Stydia shipper I am, I legit cried like a baby when they finally reunited, what a beautiful scene 😭😭 Holland and Dylan's chemistry >>>>> also seeing everyone forget Stiles was so heartbreaking and I was an absolute wreck the entire time. I need to stop getting so attached to fictional characters 😂

6B wasn't as great as 6A for obvious reasons, but the finale was amazing! Minus the fact that the writers screwed us Stydia shippers over. But they're endgame and that's all that matters.

Just a few thoughts about the series finale

The scene with Derek and Stiles had me dying!!! The way he's carrying him and he faints at the sight of his toe being shot 😂😂😂😂 it was beautiful.

The scene with Stiles at the beginning spitting out his water when he sees Derek 💀

Seeing them all come together made me so happy, seeing Peter and Theo join the "good" side was rewarding because I enjoyed both of their characters so much and just wanted them to be part of the pack.

Liam and Theo >>>>>>>>

Lydia and Jackson's reunion was AMAZING!!! I cried and laughed so hard.

Ethan and Jackson ❤❤❤

Seeing Ethan without Aiden was quite sad.

Overall, I truly regret not watching this when it was airing. By rewatching the show I've also reignited my slight obsession with Dylan O'Brien 💀💀 that man is an amazing actor that deserves the best. Honestly all the actors deserve nothing but the best. Hopefully in the future a little TV movie or something happens because I need more Teen Wolf in my life.

Minor Character Death Blood & Injury Gunshot Wound School Shooting Mild Violence (Brief Description)

Full AO3 Link

Summary:

Before he’s even fully conscious of the decision to move, Luka is entering the bathroom. Leo is washing his hands when suddenly, Luka hears a gunshot. Footsteps race past the bathroom door and a radio crackles to life.

“Lockdown. Lock down the grounds. We have a shooter.”

Created For: @afgomegaversebingo / Square Filled: Omega Pregnancy

Life has been amazing for the two once again mates. They were looking into moving but hadn’t picked a place yet too focused on now having two little monkeys running around.

Luka is the best big brother, always making sure little brother Leo is safe and happy. Theo dotes on them, and Stiles can’t get enough of the alpha. That may be why they so quickly got pregnant with their next pup. 

Their third child is only a year old now and his name is Laiken. Unlike his older brother, Luka, who is an alpha, Laiken is an omega like Leo and their daddy. It’s why Theo and Luka are even more protective over the younger pups. 

Lydia and Parrish got married a couple months after Leo was born and then Isaac and Allison got married just before Laiken was born. Erica met an alpha named Brett who transferred in as a cop working under Jordan and they mated just a couple months after Laiken was born. They may have been newly mated, but they seemed like they had known each other for their entire lives. 

About halfway through Stiles’s pregnancy with Laiken, Theo and Stiles found the one. The house was perfect for their still growing family. It is a beautiful pastel green country home with plenty of room for the kids to grow and play. It has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room, a basement, an attic and a double garage. Not to mention a tree house that Brett, Jordan, Isaac and Theo built during the second half of Stiles’s pregnancy with Laiken. 

Every day is a gift, and every night is special. Theo loves coming home to a home cooked meal whenever he works and Stiles has the day off but of course, there is none of that traditional sexist omega role stuff in their home. Nothing makes Theo happier than a content smelling omega mate.

“Hey, kitten,” Theo says softly, curling around his mate’s back where Stiles stands at the stove.

Stiles smiles and leans against his mate, purring when the alpha’s hands cup his swollen belly. He’s only two months along but he’s showing quite a bit already. “Hey. How was work?”

Nipping the omega’s neck, Theo doesn’t answer right away, offering a soft hum against pale skin. “Good, but this is better.”

“You’re welcome,” Stiles says with a grin, his cheeks bright pink at the attention. He will never get tired of being doted on. 

Two pairs of feet come barreling towards them and soon, Theo has two monkeys attached to his legs. 

“DAAAAAAD!!!” the two boys shriek. 

Stiles gives a soft chiding rumble and gestures to their baby brother who is sound asleep in his playpen. “Boys.”

Luka looks at their daddy with a frown. “Sorry, Daddy.”

Leo copies his brother, something he’s doing more and more of lately. “Sowwy 'oo, Da’dy.”

The adorableness of his children makes it hard for Stiles to stay mad. So, he scents them, ruffles their hair and ushers them to the table. His gaze locks with Theo’s and he offers a tired smile.

Sadly, the two parents have some disappointing news for their kids. Tomorrow the boys have career day at school, but both Theo and Stiles will be on shift and unable to attend. After dinner, they’re dropping the boys off at Lydia’s house, so they’ll have a ride to school tomorrow. 

Since Stiles cooked, Theo serves them and they all dig in, the boys expressing their absolute love for the food. 

Laiken sits in his highchair, giggling as Luka and Leo make funny faces at him. It results in a very messy baby with the spaghetti sauce all over his little face, but it makes Stiles smile fondly just the same. His little family is happy, healthy and content. What more could he want?

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

“Why can’t we stay home, Dad?” Luka asks as he looks out the window of the SUV. 

Theo glances in the rearview mirror at his son and sighs softly. “Daddy and I have to work, pup.”

Luka sniffles. “Daddy is gonna miss my story though.” He glances at Leo when the younger boy squeezes his hand. Even as sleepy as he is, Leo recognizes when his brother is upset.

“I know. Daddy and I are so very sorry, Luka, but Aunt Lydia is going to record it for me and daddy to watch later. We’ll be there to pick you up from school. Okay?”

They pull into the driveway, seeing Lydia and Jordan already waiting for them. Theo is grateful to have his mate back and he promised Lydia he wouldn’t hurt Stiles again. The way the redhead hugs him tonight is another acknowledgement of the alpha’s kept promise to keep her brother happy, healthy and to love him no matter what.

Luka doesn’t want his dad to leave but he knows sleep is very important. Otherwise, people might get hurt if dad is too sleepy. So, he wraps his arms around his dad and scents him, hugging the alpha tightly. 

Aunt Lydia and Uncle Jordan let him and Leo stay on the steps until the SUV is out of sight, but then it’s bedtime.

Stiles drops Laiken off with Allison, grateful she has the day off tomorrow and not wanting to overwhelm his sister with all three boys at once.

When the two parents arrive home, they manage to go about their nightly routine and exchange a couple brief and chaste kisses before slipping under the covers. By the time they are settled with the lights off, it’s just half past eight. That should give them plenty of time to sleep. Theo’s hands, even in sleep, cradle the baby bump protectively, the omega’s back flush against the alpha’s chest the entire night.

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

Breakfast is yummy and Luka loves oatmeal with brown sugar. He still makes a face when Leo gobbles up raisins with his brown sugar oatmeal. The younger pup is more a fan of dried fruit than fresh fruit which Luka thinks is weird, but he loves his little brother as he is, even if he likes wrinkly fruit. It’s almost eight thirty and soon, they’ll leave for school. 

Luka, who is eight, is now in third grade and his brother Leo, who is three, is in preschool. Their youngest sibling, Laiken, is only a year old and stays with Aunt Allison instead of going to daycare. 

Today is career day at their school, but unfortunately, their dads aren’t able to come to career day. They had told Leo and Luka last night when dropping them off at Aunt Lydia’s that they would come as soon as their shifts were over. 

However, that won’t be possible because just before six am, there was a fire and their dad had to be on scene. Then just before six thirty am there was an emergency pile up on the highway that their daddy got called in for. It was Aunt Lydia who got the boys to school. She told them on the way there that their parents had texted her about the emergencies.

Of course, Luka is disappointed. He has kept his story a secret so he could surprise his daddy, but he won’t get to surprise him now. Still, despite his disappointment, Luka understands and proceeds to listen to his classmates read their stories about who their heroes are. 

“My hero is my grandpa. He fought in the war and won a purple heart. He even let me hold it one time. The reason he’s my hero isn’t because he won a medal or because he fought in a war but because he was the one who taught me how to not be afraid to be myself even when everyone else said I shouldn’t be me,” a boy named Carter says.

Luka stares down at his own paper, the words of his peers washing over him and wonders if his story is good enough to convey just how much he loves his hero. Sometimes words don’t seem like enough even though he has a lot of them. 

For a long time, it was just him and his daddy. Then dad came back and now they have Leo and Laiken, Aunt Lydia, Uncle Jordan, Aunt Ally, Uncle Isaac and Auntie Erica with her new mate Uncle Brett. Despite having all those people, Luka remembers nights when it was just him and his daddy. Luka wants to be just like his daddy, especially because he is just as protective of his brothers Leo and Laiken as his daddy is of all of them. It would be cool to be someone’s hero one day. 

When the teacher calls his name, Luka goes to the front and takes a deep breath. Once he steadies himself, he begins to read from his paper.

“My name is Lukanus but I like to be called Luka. When Ms. Peterson said we have to write a story about our hero, I knew right away who I would choose. My hero is my daddy. He’s a nurse, a paramedic and a detective. My daddy helps lots of people and even saved my dad. When I was little it was just me and my daddy and no matter what, he was always there. 

“He taught me how to love, how to forgive, how to be strong when it’s hardest and how to keep going when I thought it was too hard. My daddy is the bravest, smartest, strongest and best person in the whole wide universe. He also taught me that biology doesn’t make anyone less than anyone else. He’s an omega and he taught me what that means. 

“I love my daddy so very much and want to be just like him. I want to be the kind of man, kind of person, kind of human being my daddy is because if there were more people like him, then the world would be the safest and best place ever. He’s been given accolades by the police force, the hospital and the city for his efforts in protecting lives. 

“My daddy was named Hero of the Year twice and got to meet the president but even though those things are really cool and not everybody can say those things have happened to their daddy, that’s not why he is my hero. He’s my hero because he taught me what it means to be a man and what it means to be a good human being.

“I watch him with my dad and know what it means to love someone unconditionally. I watch him with my younger brothers and know what it means to protect someone with everything you have. I watch my daddy and I wanna be just like him when I grow up. I’m already doing my best to embody all that is my daddy.

“I am grateful that my daddy is my daddy and because of who he is and what he’s done for me my whole life, he is my hero.”

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

Luka did really well reading his story, at least he thinks he did good, based on the smile on Aunt Lydia’s face. She has recorded it on her phone so his daddy can see it later. She has to get to work now but hugs him tightly and kisses his forehead. “I’m proud of you, pup. You did really well.”

“Really?” Luka says.

“Really really.”

“Do you think Daddy will like it?” he asks quietly, chewing his lip.

Lydia’s expression softens as she pulls her nephew into a tight embrace. “He’s going to love it.” With another kiss to Luka’s forehead, Lydia heads out, sending him another smile over her shoulder. 

Everyone has read their hero story now and it’s time for math. Then they’ll have lunch. After reading his story and having been a bit nervous, Luka raises his hand to ask if he can go get a drink. 

“Of course, Luka. Take the pass and come right back. Okay?” Ms. Peterson says.

“Yes ma’am. Thank you.” Luka takes the pass and leaves the classroom. 

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

During this past summer, Luka spent a lot of time at the school since his daddy teaches CPR and First Aid classes. So, he is easily able to find his way to the water fountain.

He notices his brother Leo going into the bathroom and smiles at him before pressing the bar to get a drink. It’s while Luka is getting a drink at the water fountain that his tummy gets a knot of worry. Something isn’t right. Dad always says to trust his instincts because they will never steer him wrong. 

Before he’s even fully conscious of the decision to move, Luka is entering the bathroom. Leo is washing his hands when suddenly, Luka hears a gunshot. Footsteps race past the bathroom door and a radio crackles to life. 

“Lockdown. Lock down the grounds. We have a shooter.”

Luka’s eyes widen in fear, but Leo hasn’t noticed yet and he intends to make sure Leo is safe. He quickly locks the bathroom door and goes over to his brother. “Leo?”

The boy looks up at him and tilts his head at his older brother’s expression. “Wuka otay?”

“I’m okay but we’re going to play a game. Okay?”

Leo smiles, his eyes lighting up. “Otay! Wha’ ‘ame?”

Footsteps echo louder and louder, a bang sounding on the bathroom door. Luka is grateful he locked it. Searching for an escape, he sees the window. “This way, Leo,” he says, keeping his voice low. “We’re gonna play spies. You gotta squeeze through here and go tell Aunt Lydia the secret code.”

“Otay!” Leo says and giggles when Luka lifts him up and pushes him out the window. “Wha’ ‘ode Wuka?”

Luka swallows thickly. “I love you, braciszek.”

Leo tilts his head and smiles. “Wuv you ‘oo, Wuka!”

“Go find Aunt Lydia. Go!” Luka says urgently. 

“Otay! I ‘o.

Luka nods, holding back tears. "Okay. Go," he says with more urgency.

Leo nods and waves. "Bah, Wuka!”

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

Just as Leo is out of sight, the door is kicked in and a man enters with a big gun in his hands. When the shooter enters the bathroom, time seems to slow down. Dark eyes with hate and rage in them zero in on Luka. The man raises his gun and without remorse or any sign of care, the shooter pulls the trigger.

BANG!

The sound is deafening, and Luka lets out a barely audible gasp. The bullet hits Luka right in the stomach and the little alpha is too stunned to do anything but gape in shock. 

Meanwhile, the shooter kicks open each stall door and then leaves, time resuming its normal speed once more. Luka is so glad he got his brother out. He falls to the ground and coughs wetly, his vision blurring. 

Luka still hears bangs sporadically but they’re getting softer which means further away. He’s so sleepy but he can’t sleep. Not yet. Not until daddy comes. Daddy will—Daddy will make it all better. After all, daddy is Luka’s hero. 

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

Stiles has just gotten back from the ICU where a victim of the pileup is finally stabilized. Jordan hands him a cup of coffee and Stiles sends his brother in law a grateful tired smile. 

Jordan’s radio crackles, interrupting their conversation.

“10-71 in progress. Barker Aspen Elementary school.”

Time freezes, the coffee cup slipping from the omega’s fingers, his vision going nearly black. That’s where Luka and Leo are. Jordan is so focused on the call code he misses Stiles’s immediate exit. By the time he notices, Stiles is already almost to the school, uncaring of speed limits.

Stiles can barely form any coherent thoughts and by now he recognizes the signs enough to know he won’t be saying anything even if he could form thoughts. The omega can’t feel the bond with his eldest son. It is taking everything he has not to go omega feral and right now, he is about to drop off the edge, into that ferality. Stiles can only thank whoever is watching over them that their youngest is with Allison today. 

He idly wonders where Theo is and whether or not the alpha knows about the shooting. That thought slips away from him when the faintest thump comes through his bond with Luka and nothing else matters to Stiles now except his son.

If anyone was to scent his emotions before he entered the school, they would catch terror, grief and guilt. Chemosignals do help when the person exuding them can’t. With Stiles now omega feral and nonverbal, he won’t have anything for them when it comes to his state of mind.

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

Stiles tugs on his offspring's bond and it leads him to a bathroom halfway between Luka and Leo’s classrooms. The door is only connected with one hinge, but Stiles ignores the splinters he gets as he pushes into the small room. 

It’s there that he finds his son. Luka is silent and still and so very very pale. It takes a second for Stiles’s eyes to process what his nose already has. His pup is lying in a pool of blood. All sense and humanity leave the omega and he is lost to instinct as he falls to his knees splattering crimson everywhere. His hands cup his son’s face, claws careful not to break the skin as he lets out a high pitched whine of fear and grief.

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

Lydia has Leo in her arms and the poor thing is so confused. Lydia works in an office space just next door to the school and was shocked when Leo wandered over but as soon as he told her what happened, she phoned the police, and Isaac who had heard from Jordan. Stiles was missing. 

When Isaac arrives at the school he goes right up to Lydia and his second godson. “Stiles?” he says quietly so as not to disturb a now sleeping Leo.

“Kindergarten bathroom. Isaac it’s—”

“It’ll be okay, Lyds,” Isaac says and gently scents both her and the pup before heading inside to find his best friend. 

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

The omega has pulled his son into his lap and is rocking back and forth, his thumb pressed lightly against the pulse point of his son’s throat. It’s the only thing keeping him grounded in some way, knowing that his son isn’t gone yet. He doesn’t care about the slick feeling of the blood. He doesn’t care about the splinters in his skin. All he cares about is his little monkey. 

When Isaac finds his best friend, his godson’s daddy is completely feral. Normally, Theo would be enough to calm Stiles, but he isn’t there and all Stiles can see is the blood. Luka manages to slur out a single word. “L’o?”

“Safe,” Isaac says. 

Stiles snarls slightly, his focus on his son but his body tenses in preparation to fight if need be.

Isaac remains hovering nearby, knowing better than to get between an omega and his child. He’s grateful that Lydia has Leo as they can’t let Leo see Luka like this. He idly looks at the officers standing just down the hall and feels a rush of relief hit him when he hears them say the shooter is dead. Perhaps Isaac should feel bad for being glad, but he doesn’t. Not with the state his best friend is in because of the shooter.  

After all the months of being there for every step of Stiles’s first pregnancy, Isaac knows the reason his best friend is feral and has gone nonverbal. He kneels down, his own beta scent not posing a threat like an alpha’s scent would. “Miko?” he whispers. 

He gets no response from the omega who hasn’t stopped rocking his son or stopped caressing the boy’s pulse point with a needy whine. Stiles’s hands are slick with blood, and he looks lost, but then something ignites inside him, his body stilling. A wave of calm washes over him and he snarls. 

Isaac stills completely and watches in shock as Stiles sinks his fangs into Luka’s arm with zero hesitation. 

There’s not much in the way of blood left but Stiles holds on tight with sharp fangs, unwilling to let go until it’s taken. His eyes flash and his claws are still out, but he never breaks his son’s skin the claws. If Stiles were coherent, he’d realize his fox ears are out now and they swivel in alertness every few seconds. However, none of these things get through to him, his jaw clamped tight to ensure his bite takes. 

The boy is startled but hardly feels anything but numb as he looks up at his daddy. “Kn’w yo’d co’e fur ma. Dad’y m’ he’o.”

Isaac is in shock of what he has just witnessed his friend do. Omega bites are rare and only used when—He swallows thickly at the slowly strengthening heartbeat of his godson. No wonder Stiles is feral. 

Stiles is even more volatile with his emotions now because he is once again pregnant. This time they are hoping for their first baby girl. The two mates haven’t even told their boys about the baby yet. Isaac is hoping to hell that Luka survives as Luka in particular has been wanting a baby sister and if Luka doesn’t make it, Isaac isn’t sure they’ll get Stiles back. 

»•»🔥«•« »•»🚑«•«

When the ambulance comes and loads Luka up after Isaac finishes stabilizing him, Stiles lets out a persistent snarl at anyone who gets too close. Only Isaac handing the omega a sweatshirt of Theo’s with the alpha’s scent, calms Stiles down enough to let the rescue workers close the ambulance doors. Soon, they are on their way to the hospital. 

As the ambulance gets further away, Isaac pulls out his phone and calls Theo. Since Stiles and Theo had gotten back together nearly four years ago, Isaac and Theo have become really good friends though not as good as he and Stiles are. After all, Isaac and Stiles have known each other since they were children. They were the first person they each came out to, Isaac coming out as bisexual when they were twelve and Stiles coming out as gay when they were thirteen.

His heart clenches as he calls his friend’s number. Isaac hates that he has such terrible news to give his friend, but he doesn’t want Theo to go in blind. He doesn’t want the alpha to be shocked when he arrives at the hospital to find his mate feral, and nonverbal. That is not even considering just how deep into his instincts Stiles is now. 

Isaac has never seen his best friend with fangs, claws and glowing eyes but it’s not as shocking as it might be to others. After all, Isaac would have gone full primal too if it had been his eldest pup with a gunshot wound in his little tummy. For all that alphas are considered fiercer, it is omegas who truly are the fiercest especially when it comes to their families and even more so when it comes to their pups. 

“Isaac? What’s up?”

“You need to get to the hospital, Theo. It’s Luka.”

*THIAM*

𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐘 : Liam hangs out with Theo, just to get information about The Dread Doctors to Scott, not realizing that Theo has fallen for him.

**********************************************

"Not to mention you broke my nose three times back then..." Theo smirked.

"I was working on my anger issues, get over it. It healed" Liam raised his eyebrows at him.

"I'm just saying it wasn't nice." Theo said closing the locker.

"If I get you lunch after this class. Will you get over it?" Liam turned to Theo smiling.

"Maybe. See you at lunch" Theo smirked and started walking to class.

Liam smiled looking down, excitment going through his head. He grabbed the books and closed the locker.

"So, what is it like hanging out with Theo Raeken?" Liam turned to see Mason standing behind him.

"Uh... Normal I guess." Liam said confused.

"I see. Lunch after?" Mason asked Liam that was blushing.

"I... umm I'm meeting Theo for lunch. I'm sorry. We can still hang out after school." Liam responded.

"Oh... okay then see you after school."

***

"I'm definitely failing Biology." Liam said sitting down next to Theo on the lunch table.

Theo laughed. "I could give you my notes. If you want"

"I'm in no position to refuse. My dad would kill me if I failed a class." Liam put his hand through his hair.

"Lighten up. He can't see how hard you are trying. You are a good kid Dunbar. You help your friends. You forgave me after everything that happened and still trust me." Theo said patting Liam on the back.

Guilt rushed through Liam, he started hanging out with Theo just to see if he was up to something after he came back to Beacon Hills. But now he started to realize that Theo had changed and was changing Liam for the better too.

"Yeah, I just kind of know that you are not what everyone tells me you are." Liam said smiling weakly.

"Theo I...I want you to know..." Liam said looking down. The bell started ringing. "Uh...never mind. We should get back to class."

"What was it?" Theo grabbed Liam's arm gently.

"Nothing important." Liam smiled "Got to go"

"Shit" Liam mumbled to himself walking away. He knew he would lose Theo's trust and friendship. Nobody besides Theo valued and understood Liam, how much he was going through with school, with family and the pack. And no one besides Liam got to know the soft Theo underneath, the Theo that cares and tries so hard to fix everything he ruined on his past.

***

The classes were over. Liam was walking out of the school when suddenly someone grabbed his arm and dragged him.

"Come here I want to show you a place." Theo said sounding like a excited kid in a toy store.

"Where are we going?" Liam asked, smiling as he saw Theo so excited.

"You will see. Now come on."

Theo was taking him somewhere in the woods. Liam was so confused asking every 10 seconds where they were going.

"Are we here yet?" Liam asked again for the 50th time.

"Yeah almost. We just have to get past this tree."

"Ouch it poked me" Liam struggled going through the branches and the bushes.

Theo smiled shaking his head. "Look"

Liam turned, looking at the most beautiful view he had seen. They could see the whole Beacon Hills from there.

"Wow" Liam said amazed.

"I know right" Theo smirked. "It is my favorite spot to come when I feel down."

"So why did you share it with me?" Liam asked.

"Because you were feeling down today. And I know school gives you a stressful time. Just wanted to make you feel better. Did it work?" Theo looked at Liam who was staring down at the city.

"Definitely." Liam turned to Theo smiling.

***

It started getting dark. Liam and Theo sitting down on the grass staring at the view, talking about the most random stuff.

"Thank you. It's going to be my favorite spot from now on." Liam said smiling not breaking his sight from the city down there

"We can share it." Theo said not breaking his sight from Liam.

"Mind if I call it ours?" Liam turned slowly to Theo.

"Ours." Theo responded making eye contact. Slowly getting closer to him. Liam staring at Theo's lips.

Kissing Theo , the only thing going through his mind, knowing it's wrong and not caring at the same time.

Liam shuts himself off completely, nothing makes sense to Theo until he learns about Liam’s diagnosis with bipolar disorder. ‘Behind His Smile’ is the title of a comic book Theo creates for Liam, telling the story of a man who was robbed of his magical smile, a hero who has to fight evil and himself to get it back.

Only Me: A Theo Raeken Imagine

Request from Anon: hii, i wanted to request one about theo,where you two have this unofficial "thing" going on ,and the whole pack (including theo)goes to a gathering with another pack(to form an alliance) and there's one super hot guy whos hitting on y/n and theo is low key jealous until the guy invites y/n to dance and starts getting too close and handsy for theo's liking and he makes sure everyone knows that y/n belongs to him

Hope this is okay for you lovely, and enjoy x 

It wasn’t an official relationship, but Theo still wanted to be the only one in your life. He wanted to be the one you would wake up to in the mornings, wanted to be the one to hold your hand in the street, wanted to be the one to press you up against a wall and tell you that you were his in between kisses full of fire and love.

It wasn’t an official relationship, but Theo still wanted to be the only one complimenting you. He wanted to be the one to tell you that you looked beautiful in your dress, wanted to be the one to help you zip up the back and unzip it when you got home, wanted to be the one that was making you blush right now.

It wasn’t an official relationship, but Theo still felt unbelievably jealous as one of the betas in this new pack continued to show an interest in you.

It had been Scott’s idea for them all to come to this gathering this evening. He wanted to form an alliance with this pack, and in doing so, he had to be honest about who they would be working with. You and Theo agreed, Theo promising to behave, but it was becoming difficult when that damn beta was flirting with you like that, and he couldn’t do anything to stop him.

You weren’t anything exclusive, just two people who were highly attracted to each other, having fun. But Theo wanted more, and he wasn’t sure if you felt the same way.

Judging by your blushing as the ridiculously good-looking beta flirted with you, you weren’t fussed about just what you were doing to Theo.

He was jealous, there was no denying that, but he had to control it if he even stood a chance with you.

So he ignored you, turning his attention to the other members of the pack. At least, that was the aim. He could still hear your laughing, and your face was ever present in the forefront of his mind. Every part of him urged to interfere, but he resisted.

That was, until he heard the beta ask you to dance. Theo turned, anger boiling in his blood.  The beta had his hand on your arm, and was getting too close for Theo’s liking. He marched over to where you stood, and before he really knew what he was doing, he slipped his arm around your waist. “She’s spoken for, sorry.”

He noticed how you looked at him in shock, but didn’t say anything as he steered you towards the floor. He didn’t say anything as he rested his hand on the small of your back, intertwining his fingers with yours. He didn’t say anything as you rested a hand on his bicep, looking up at him in perverse amazement.

He didn’t say anything as you began to move to the music, trying to concentrate on the movement of his feet, trying not to look like a fool after asserting his dominance. There was that primal side of him, that side of him that couldn’t bear the thought of anyone else putting their hands on you, and when you finally asked him what the Hell he was doing, he couldn’t think of anything else to say other than the obvious.

“No-one else gets to touch you when you’re with me.”

Shit. That was the worst thing to say, and Theo knew it. He knew you would probably step back from him now, knew that he had blown any chance of ever getting into something official with you. It was that damn animal in him talking, the one that was territorial and thought that you were his.

You were your own person, his human side told him, you belonged to no-one.

Which was why he was a little surprised when you leaned up and kissed him. Hard. In view of everyone.

Theo knew you had always had a dangerous side, part of you thrilled by the idea of a man jumping to your defense. He tangled his fingers in your hair, lost in the kiss, and he wasn’t in control of his actions when he snarled against your lips, every part of him wanting to take you into a room and have his way with you.

“I like it when you’re jealous,” you mumbled against his lips, hands clutched in his shirt.

Theo couldn’t process that information, not right now, not when that primitive side of him was still in the driver’s seat. “You’re mine, Y/N.” He crashed his lips back onto yours, not a care in the world as both packs looked on. His promise to behave had disintegrated, but he would deal with the consequences later.

In that moment, Theo was your only one. And as you told him exactly that, it was all that mattered.
