Chapter 14

5 days later

Third person POV

"So.. you're birthday is in a couple weeks." Scott said to Liam

Liam stopped chewing to look up at Scott," How do you do that? Act as if we didn't just die like a couple days ago?"

Scott frowned, "Because... we didn't." Scott said simply," We protect people and each other. Yeah, we almost died, but we all made it out together. I told you I'd always protect you and I intend to keep that promise."

Liam grinned sheepishly," Yeah, you're right. I just wish I could be as optimistic as you.. and thank you, for making me feel safe I mean."

Scott placed his hand over Liam's, a toothy smile plastered on his face," So, about your birthday."

Liam smiled widely," What about it?"

"Let's go on a date that day?" Scott moved over next to Liam

"O-oh. Are you sure?" Liam asked, shyly

"Yeah, why? You don't want to?"

"I just.. always spend them alone because my parents are never home."

"Well, I promise I'll make it an amazing day for you okay?"

Liam looked into Scott's brown eyes, taking a shaky breath, he smiled and nodded

Liam's cheeks flushed red as Scott pulled him into a hug by waist. Scott sighed into him happily.

"W-what are y-you doing?" Liam asked

Scott was brushing his nose against Liam's neck

"I don't know?" Scott answered, pulling away," Your scent is really strong from your neck."

"What do I smell like then?" Liam chuckled

"Like vanilla." Scott purred

His voice sounded calm. Almost like a drunken kind of happy," The way you smell makes me feel good."

Liam looking down blushing. Scott smiled and kissed the top of his head

Lacrosse practice

Scott's POV

"Come on, McCall! Stop being a pussy!" Coach Finstock yelled

I growled slightly from annoyance. We had been running and practicing our defence without any breaks. I wasn't tired, but I felt slightly irritated that I wasn't even able to suggest a break as captain.

I need to remember to act as if I'm actually tired, so he'll cut everyone else some slack

"S-Scott I... can't... shit." Stiles came up to me, collapsing onto the ground

I laughed, crouching down to him," Need some help buddy?"

"Yup." He said, popping the P dramatically

I picked him and walked him over the bleachers

"I swear he's trying to kill us." Stiles exclaimed

"Hey guys." Lydia said," Stiles? Why do you look like you're about to die?"

"Oh I don't know, Lydia. Maybe because I've ran a marathon in less than an hour. Believe me I didn't think it was possible." Stiles said dramatically

I rolled my eyes playfully," Hey, have you seen Liam? He hasn't shown up yet." I asked Lydia

"Nope, I thought I'd catch him out here. I wanted to ask him if he'd let me pick out his clothes for your date."

Stiles turned towards me," Date? What date?"
