I Own Nothing

AN: Just another Thiam story I came up with on them getting together. I have been editing this for like a month almost to get it the way I wanted it. This was the first Thiam story I wrote after Liam's Prisoner, but been tweeking it.

Title: I Need You

Characters: Liam/Theo

Summary: It's always the same words on Liam's phone in the middle of the night when Theo has a nightmare. I Need You. Liam's reply is just the same as always too The Window's Open. This time it's different.

Liam didn't know why he had shown up, but he had. Theo had been acting like a jerk all day, which was why he didn't count on him coming by. He'd gotten the text message it wasn't the first and it wouldn't be the last. It wasn't nothing much just three words, I Need You. Each word was capital, but there was also a frown at the end of the text. Liam had planned on texting a no back, but he could never tell Theo no.

He got up looking out the window thinking about the words. It was always the same the three words and frown every time. Theo's truck was parked across the street from his house which never changed either. He groaned before sending a text back. It was simple too, The Window's Open. His return text was always the same too like a broken record.

Liam didn't know why Theo kept sleeping in his truck since he had offered him the couch. Okay so maybe he had said he'd shut him up in the couch. Theo had gotten on his nerves, but it was always like that with them. He drove Theo just as crazy with the things he did. They were constantly arguing and hitting each other. Malia swore if they didn't stop she was locking them in a room together. She didn't care if they killed each other or fucked, but something needed to happen.

He didn't know where the hell Malia had gotten he wanted to do Theo. Okay so maybe there was the time he kept looking at his ass. It might have been more than once and then there was the one time he'd woken up in class. He had apparently moaned Theo's name in his sleep, which had really had been embarrassing. What had made it worse was the extra stuff of please let me fuck you. He'd made Corey swear on Mason's cock he wouldn't tell. He'd just forgotten the part in which Corey doesn't keep anything from Mason. He still hadn't lived it down and he was seriously going to have to kick both their asses.

Liam got back on his bed pulling the covers up. He really didn't need to get hard right now since Theo could smell it. Damn the chimera and his fucking hot body, tight clothes too and his hair was great. He might want to trim it just slightly out of his eyes, but it was good either way. He would like to run his fingers through it or pull it during sex. Liam stopped his self right before he let the moan slip out. He hid his face in the pillow as he heard the window shut back. He really couldn't make any sound that would sound sexual right now.

"Same one?" Liam asked making sure his voice sounded normal.

He knew exactly why Theo had texted him at the stupid hour of two in the morning. It was the same reason every time he got text messages from Theo. He had another nightmare about his sister killing him. He'd made Theo tell him one night after he had fallen asleep and woke up screaming. It wasn't Lydia's type of scream, but it sure as hell wasn't a quiet one either.

It had scared the crap out of him since it had been the scarcest part of the movie he'd been watching. It had gotten all quiet then the monster thing had jumped out at the woman. Theo had screamed and Liam had screamed out too. He didn't care if it had made him look chicken, he hated being scared. He hadn't known Theo had fallen asleep since he had promised to watch the movie with him.

Theo had laughed at the part before at how stupid it had seemed so he had known something was wrong. It hadn't meant that he hadn't turned around and hit Theo thinking for a second he'd done it on purpose. He had realized he'd been wrong when he had seen the look on Theo's face. His hand been clutching at his chest too like he was making sure his heart was there.

He'd seen the pain in Theo's eyes and he knew he regretted what he'd done years ago. He regretted what he'd done trying to get his own pack too. It was so complicated, but they were friends and friends helped each other. So maybe Theo got his number because he'd put it in his phone for him months ago. Maybe Theo had broken through his barriers of wanting to kick his ass for reason besides messing with him. And maybe, just maybe it was that night he started really trusting Theo. They had worked together multiple times and he'd shared a mutual understanding, but that night he'd saw the real Theo. He had looked like a hurt and lost little kid not the barely human monster that had killed Scott. Hell had changed him and Liam saw that every single day.

"It wasn't just mine this time," Theo said his voice holding the pain he'd still felt waking up from the nightmare. "I just need a pillow and I'll be fine on the floor,"

"You woke me up at two in the morning for a floor? I doubt that so just get in the bed." Liam said letting out a sigh turning over so he was facing Theo.

He didn't know why Theo was saying he'd take the floor. Except for the one time he'd accidently kicked Theo out he never had slept on the floor. He hadn't meant to kick him in the floor it had been the first night they'd slept in the same bed. Theo had at some point wrapped his arm around him and Liam had woken up freaking out for a second. He really hadn't meant to hurt Theo; he just had thought it was someone else. He'd been having his own nightmare when he had woken up in the warmth of Theo's arms. It had been wonderful now that he thought about it. They still woke up that way sometimes, but never talked about it.

Except for the actual sex part they might as well say they were together. They both denied it, but when they reached out for each other in the middle of the night, they didn't pull away from the other. When there was the rare movie that did scare them, really really rare, but there were a couple of them, they would sit beside each other. They didn't say anything either if their hands happened to reach for the other either. It was no wonder Malia wanted to lock them in a room and make them fuck.

"You want to talk? I don't mind even if I give you shit, I'd listen." they both knew he would too, but he didn't know if Theo was going to talk now or later. Half the time they just went to sleep and talked in the mornings.

Theo kicked his boots off getting under the comforter turning on his side so he was as close to Liam as he could get. "Later, just want to go back to sleep now," he said letting his eyes close. He didn't want to be obvious about what he was doing, but he breathed in Liam's scent. He had thought he would be fine tonight. He was wrong; he had been a jerk most of the day to Liam. He hated his self for the way he'd treated Liam, but today had been bad. "Don't hate me, but it's the night I killed her,"

Liam sighed again, "I haven't hated you in a long time. Hell, I haven't I truly hated you since I brought you back. You're not the same asshole you were, Theo. You've saved my life more times than I can count. I've saved yours so don't worry about it," he reached out cupping Theo's face. "I already told you I forgave you," he let his thumb wipe away the tear. He hated seeing Theo like this and he could feel the emotional pain coming from him.

~LT TL~

"It was yours, it was your heart too," Theo said wishing when he closed his eyes he didn't see the nightmare playing out again. However, he kept seeing it, Tara ripped Liam's heart out of his chest and then she went for his. It was the same loop like when he was with the skin walkers in their hell for him. It was Liam too this time though and it scared him. "I forget sometimes when I wake up in the truck that you forgave me. I forget that I actually have a best friend now. I forget that I'm not alone and I got someone that cares."

Liam didn't know what to say at first hearing that his heart was the one being ripped out too. He knew they were friends, but he was shocked that Theo thought of him as his best friend. "I'm right here and I'm alive," he said taking in Theo's scent. He was scared, sad, and he knew it was the truth. Even if Theo claimed people only had one emotion at a time it wasn't true. It had been along time since Theo had lied to him, any of them for that matter. "I'm always going to care about you," he said before closing his eyes. He would do anything to protect Theo from his nightmares. He just wished that Theo would stop punishing his self by sleeping in the damn truck too. He was just going to have to hide the keys and force him to stay here from now on.

Theo didn't bother hiding the fact he was breathing in Liam's scent this time. He shifted slightly so his head was resting against Liam's. He felt Liam's arm moving over his side and when Liam rolled on his back he just went with him. He rested his head this time against Liam's chest feeling his heart beating against his chest. He closed his eyes tight willing the after affects of the nightmare to go away. Hearing Liam's heart beating helped and he could feel it too. Liam's heart was still in his chest. It wasn't in Tara's hands and Liam wasn't dead. He felt safe here with Liam, but he hadn't felt like he deserved it. It was one of the reasons he kept going back to sleeping in his truck.

Liam moved his hand over Theo's back making sure he didn't move as Theo's hand moved over his chest. Theo was always like ice after the nightmares and he tried warming him up every time. He felt the wetness hitting his chest, but he couldn't do more than he was. There was no way he could keep letting Theo sleep in the truck. He had to get him to stop punishing his self somehow. He was close to sleep when he heard Theo whisper something almost too low for him to hear.

He didn't physically move when he heard it, but his heart skipped. It shocked him at the whisper, but he could tell that Theo was asleep now. He couldn't wake him up to tell him the words back. He was going to have to find a way to show Theo he felt the same way without letting on he'd let it slip. He refused to let Theo runaway again like he had once before.

~LT TL~

Liam heard his alarm going off, but he didn't want to get up. He smiled hearing Theo groaning at the sound he had for his alarm. It was an air horn because he wouldn't get motivation to get out of bed any other way. His phone was just out of reach so he had to get up in the mornings to turn it off. That way he was out of the bed and would stay up.

"Tell the planes to drop the bomb somewhere else," Theo let out a growl rolling on his back putting a pillow over his head to try and get the awful sound to stop. "Turn it off," he added when Liam didn't move to get up.

Liam laughed before he got up turning the alarm off. He stretched to help him wake up, but the shower and coffee was the only thing that really would wake him up. "It's off, but you can't go back to sleep. When I get done the shower's yours," Liam said dropping his pants not even caring that Theo was on his bed. He stopped his self from smiling when he heard Theo's heart skip. His cock was hard and leaking at the moment, which Theo was looking right at. "Take a picture, it will last longer," Liam said before he left the room.

Liam knew he probably shouldn't be teasing Theo right now. He just needed to know it hadn't been a bad dream. He had to know if he had heard Theo right, right before he'd fallen asleep. Theo probably had thought he was asleep when he'd said he wished he loved him too. Yeah he was so being evil right now. However, every time Theo had a nightmare he was really honest. He didn't lie the rest of the time, but it was different.
