Summary
He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop.
He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess.
Shane is making space for Ilya.

Summary
“Liam needs to let go of me first,” Theo says, like that’s even slightly addressing his entire laundry list of issues that Melissa has just aired.
Melissa’s amusement grows. “Liam, let go of Theo.”
“Not my mom,” Liam mumbles into Theo’s shoulder.
Melissa raises her voice and calls without turning her head, “Scott? Get your beta to let go of Theo!”
Scott’s voice drifts into the kitchen, muffled by the material of the couch he’s slouched in against Malia. “Is he murdering Theo?”
“No,” says Melissa.
“That’s debatable,” Theo mutters.
“Then he’s fine,” says Scott in response to his mother.

Liam informs Theo that the human body needs an average of eight hugs a day to develop a healthy sense of self-esteem and empathy. Theo thinks that’s just excessive.

Summary
“Well if you hate lacrosse so much, then why did you even join the team?”
Rather than quipping another comeback, Theo aimed his silence at Liam with a burning look, his scent unreadable but there was an intensity behind his gaze begging Liam to understand this.
“Theo?”
Something on the edge of desperation surged in his eyes, making Liam’s chest cave with his stubbornly soft plea.
“Don’t make me say it.”
- Or, it really shouldn’t have taken Liam this long to realize, “Oh… he loves me.”

Summary
And maybe that’s why Theo doesn’t think twice before saying it.
The moment itself is nothing big or cinematic. Liam has ketchup smeared on his cheek, grinning as he tries to wrestle the fries back, his laugh echoing through the quiet apartment. Theo looks at him. At this boy he crawls into bed with every night, the boy whose closet is half-empty because his clothes live with Theo’s now, the boy he’s already given everything to without even thinking about it. And so the words slip free.
“I love you.”

Summary
"Do you remember what happened?"
"I remember your pack sent me to hell, yeah. Thanks a lot, by the way. It was a great experience, very character building."
Liam moves back as if burned. His eyes are wide, and for the first time since he barged into the room Theo notices the bags under them, the white pallor to his usually sun tanned skin and the still healing worried bite marks on his lips. "You-" he runs a hand through his hair, looking off to the side, expression troubled, "what exactly do you remember?"
"I just told you."
"No, what you just told me happened more than a year ago," Liam says carefully, eyeing him as if expecting him to take off running at any moment. "I'm asking you about last night, Theo."
Theo wakes up thinking he's finally managed to escape his sister's torment, only to find out that this is not a recent development and he's actually missing a considerable chunk of memories. Good thing Liam's here to help him get back into the flow of things.

Summary
It takes a while for Batman and Superman to work things out, once Clark comes back from the dead. Pretending to date each other in order to explain why Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are in the same place so often? Doesn't help as much as you might think.
Written as a fill for the dceu_kinkmeme prompt, summarized: Bruce/Clark, fake dating. (Full prompt in author's notes.)

Summary
Liam starts noting Theo’s… thing surrounding his neck a lot more after that night in the truck. Not in a bad way, or even a truly distracting one.
It’s just another one of Theo’s Theo-y quirks that Liam is learning to roll with. He’s got plenty of his own quirks that Theo is probably getting used to on his own end, but Liam doesn’t think he has anything that’s quite the equivalent of Theo’s preoccupation with his throat.

Summary
It’s not hard to read Liam’s body language when he’s hunched so far in on himself it’s like he wants to disappear, but Theo immediately takes note of several factors that cause him to frown in both confusion and concern.
Again, Liam has chosen to lay on Theo’s side of the bed, which is unusual. He’s got his headphones in as well, which isn’t unusual, but is also something Scott had once mentioned to Theo was Liam’s stand-in anchor when he was still learning how to control himself.
It’s the shirt that’s the real indicator that something is up.

Summary
“Oh, fuck that,” Emmit says. “Some crazy hunter cult has taken over that place, you couldn’t pay me to set foot in that hell hole.”
Theo snorts. “Whatever’s happening, I’d bet on the McCall pack.”
“I wouldn’t,” Emmit says. “Apparently the cult kidnapped one of the betas, and—“
He cuts off, yelping, as Theo reaches forward and hauls him over the desk. He stares up at Theo, wide-eyed, as Theo twists his fingers just that much harder in his collar, and asks, sweet, “What beta?”
