Teen Wolf || Next Generation

Chapter 16: Planning a war

The sunlight filtered through the window, illuminating Liam's face. The boy snorted, holding back a growl and plunging his face even further between the blankets and the hollow between Theo's shoulder and neck.

At that moment Liam's phone rang once, then twice. "Liam" Theo called him. "I think we'll be late for the graduation ceremony"

At those words Liam's eyes widened. "What time is it?!"

"I have no idea, but from the way the sun is blinding me, I think it's late"

Liam moaned as he stood up and rushed to the bathroom. "I will kill Scott," he shouted.

Theo rolled his eyes while lying comfortably on Liam's bed. He grabbed the cell phone from the beside table and looked at the time. It was 9.30. It was an hour before the ceremony. It was three hours before the arrival of the famous Isaac's plane. And five hours were left to start the fateful pack meeting.

After today everything would have changed for them. So Theo thought he could enjoy the last five minutes of peace in bed. At that moment Liam rushed into the room like a fury, already dressed and combed that Theo looked at him in disbelief.

"What are you still doing in bed ?!" he exclaimed, approaching.

"Liam, calm down, there's still an hour left"

"I will not be late on graduation day It's already a miracle that we graduated, the least we can do is being there on time." Theo snorted, without moving. "Theo!"

At that point Liam pulled him from a leg "Liam ..." Apparently not, he could not enjoy the last five minutes of peace, he thought, rolling down from the bed in a tangle of blankets, throwing a look of fire at the his boyfriend.

Out of spite, he lay down on the ground. "I can sleep here too, you know"

"Theo!"

Theo looked at him for a moment, then snorted and held out his hand "Give me a hand"

Liam did just in time to smile up at him and grab his hand to help him get up, that Theo tugged him down making him fall over him.
"You're an asshole," Liam growled.

Theo laughed. "Relax, this is the last day, the fateful calm before the storm, can we enjoy it at least?"

Liam glanced at Theo's face, suddenly serious. "What do you think will happen tomorrow?"

"I do not know," he replied simply "It's war, Liam, nobody can know what's going to happen"

Liam was silent for a moment, lost in thought "I ... do not want to turn into something that I am not" then he said suddenly. Theo looked at him questioningly. "I do not know ... if I could kill the hunters, even if they attack me"

"I know what you mean, but a time will come when, when you have to choose between our and their life, you will have to do it," he said sadly.

"I would like to show them that we can be better than them, that here the only monsters are actually them, that there is no reason to hate us ... that we do not need to make a war"

Theo raised his hand to caress the boy's face, looking at him tenderly. "That's why I love you ... you never lose hope, do you?"

Liam took a few seconds to get Theo's words, then opened his eyes wide. Theo also realized what he had said, and he felt his cheeks turn red, his mouth slightly open in a confused expression, looking for something to say.

"You ..." Liam began, but at that moment they heard someone open the door below. Then some steps up the stairs. Liam and Theo turned to the waiting door, still lying on the ground on each other.
