A/N: Okay the level to which I ship Thiam has reached critical levels. I hated Theo, literally hated him, every episode of season 5 I prayed for his death and when he came back in 6A the rage I was filled was strong and then Jeff had to go and suck me in on all that redemption business. Damn you, Jeff, damn you.

I had my issues with the finale as I'm sure most of us did but overall, I was pretty happy, and with all this sequel/prequel/re-do talk you never know, eh? At least it wasn't some HIMYM/Lost situation. Teen Wolf was like my childhood and not to be sappy but it got me through some rough shit, so I'm so sad its over.

Enough of my rambling, and enjoy some THIAM and the Pack goodness.

After the War

One.

.

"Son of a fucking bitch!" Liam shouted as Melissa McCall dug the bullets out of his leg.

"Language," Theo sniggered.

Liam rolled his eye at the chimera and then punched him in the shoulder.

"Fu-huuu," Theo stopped himself swearing halfway through at the smirk on Liam's face. Upon noticing the grimace on Theo's face, Liam's smirk disappeared.

Theo rolled his shoulder, trying to relieve the pain. "Your shoulder," Liam stated.

"Yeah, you just punched it," Theo quipped.

"You were shot, I thought you said you were healing?"

"I am, it's just slow,"

"Deaton, look at his shoulder," Liam demanded. "Please." He added, seeing the look on Deaton's face.

"Manners," Deaton said to Melissa, rolling his eyes. "Remove your shirt, Theo, let me have a look,"

Theo didn't dare protest with Liam, Mason and Corey's eyes all on him. They came to the clinic straight from the hospital for everyone to get checked over. Scott and the others were also on their way after calling to inform everyone the Anuk-ite was gone. They briefly filled them in on everything that had happened and was planning to more in-depth once they arrived. The sheriff, Scott's dad, Parrish and the rest of the Deputies were dealing with the surrendering hunters, bodies and the aftermath of the war.

Theo pulled his shirt over his head. There was wet and dried blood on his skin, and he could feel Liam's eyes surveying his chest for wounds. "I got the bullet out already, it's just taking its time healing," He said trying to reassure himself as much as Liam.

Deaton shined his flashlight in the wound of the back of his shoulder. "It should be healed by now," He mused and he surveyed the wound. "Mason, pass me my magnifying glass from the right –" Mason already knew where to look.

Deaton breathed out a sigh. "You lot spend far too much time in my clinic without my permission."

Mason and Corey offered awkward smiles. Mason handed the magnifying glass to him. Deaton inspected the wound more closely. "Ahhh, I see," Deaton breathed.

Liam's heart spiked. "What? What's wrong with him?"

They said they weren't dying for each other.

Theo could smell him freaking out from across the room. "Calm down, would you, I'm fine," Theo said, gesturing to his shoulder with his hand.

"There's a broken shard of the bullet and glass still in the wound," Deaton said. "No worry, I can get it."

Twenty minutes later Theo and Liam were patched up and almost fully healed, and sitting shoulder-to-shoulder against the back wall of the exam room when Scott arrived with Malia and Lydia along with Stiles and Derek to Liam's surprise and other faces he did not recognise.

Stiles glare lingered on Theo, who felt uncomfortable upon seeing him. He hadn't seen much of Stiles since he Liam had brought him back from there, and after everything he had put him through Theo was surprised he wasn't flying at him fists first.

Theo shifted his weight from foot to foot.

Emotions.

This was new to him.

He's never felt remorse.

He wasn't sure he liked it.

Liam nudged him with his elbow, a small smile playing on his lips, trying to distract him.

"Are you alright?" Scott hugged his mother. He told her to stay at home, she was barely recovered from a gunshot but Melissa wouldn't be sidelined, she insisted on going to the hospital, she wasn't about to let those hunters take her hospital from her.

"I'm fine, sweetheart," She smiled. She touched the blood around his eyes. "Do I even want to know?"

"No," Malia said harshly. Scott squeezed her hand.

Scott moved on to Liam. He squeezed his beta's shoulder with his free hand. "Are you okay?"

"Got shot, but it's all good now," He nodded towards Melissa and Deaton.

"Thank you," Scott said in Theo's direction, who shrugged in response. Theo was dying to get out of here. The weight of his emotions was getting to him and he just needed to get out.

It took an hour for everyone to talk everything out. What happened at the hospital. What happened at the high school.

"Well it's been great almost dying and catching up, but I'd really like to get out of this hell hole and spend some time with my boyfriend," Jackson announced bluntly before moving to take his leave with Ethan, said boyfriend (but not before he and Lydia hugged again, and Stiles said, 'Watch the hands,' again, and the two exes expressed so much happiness and love for each other while hugging again that their significant others had to pry them apart).

As Jackson and Ethan were walking to leave Argent arrived.

"Gerard?" Jackson asked.

"Dead."

"Good."

He clapped Jackson on the back and he and Ethan left.

"Gerard's dead, how?" Malia was the first to ask.

"Surely you didn't kill daddy dearest, did you, Argent?" Peter jibed.

Derek smacked his uncle on the shoulder.

"Kate." Argent said, making his way across the room to Melissa.

"Interesting," Peter commented, eyeing their stance beside each other.

Chris launched into an explanation that culminated in his confirming that both his father and his sister were now dead at each other's hands.

There was silence for a moment. "Fitting, I guess," Derek almost laughed.

"You could say so," Argent replied. Melissa squeezed his side. Regardless of the love lost between him and his family, they were still his family, and it had to hurt that they were gone.

"I'm sorry," Scott said. "They were still your family."

The unspoken Allison hung in the air around him at the mention of family. Chris was all that was left.

"Me too, kid," Argent said. "But it's better this way. For everyone,"

"I'll say," Malia added. Scott glanced at her in a way that said 'Really?' and she shrugged in a way that said 'What?'. Stiles observed them together. Totally weird. His best friend and his ex. But they were happy. He looked down at his hand that was interlocked with Lydia's. And so was he.

"Well, I'm beat," Corey announced. "Mason?"

"Yeah," Mason replied.

They said their goodbyes to everyone, and he promised Liam he would text when they got home to Mason's house and he would do the same.

Derek and Peter went next. Derek promised he was sticking around for a bit to help out and keep his Uncle in check. He hugged his cousin and they promised they would all catch up. Peter wasn't one for goodbyes. But his eyes lingered on his daughter.

Malia.

She'd been his fear.

He feared his love for her. One of the only genuine things about his as a human being was his love for this one girl.

Awkward tension and stares filled the room as father and daughter looked at one another. They finally hugged. "For god's sake go, Da – Peter," Malia said.

Peter smiled. And he left with his nephew.

"By the way, I have a bone to pick with you," He said to his nephew as they headed for the exit.

"Just go," Derek pushed Peter out the door.

Theo wanted to go.

Now more than ever.

The fewer of them there were, the more eyes that somehow how felt were on him, the more room the more crowded he felt.

Liam could feel his anxiety coming off him in waves. Their shoulders were touching, their hands grazing each other by their sides. Part of Liam just wanted to take his hand and tell him he was fine but this was still Theo and that would be weird.

"Well, I think I'll be heading home to bed. Feel free to stay here or –"

"Its alright, Deaton, it's time we all went home and got some rest," Scott spoke.

"I hear that," Lydia said, unable to contain her yawn anymore, that then slowly made its way around the room.

"You two staying at your place?" Scott asked Stiles.

"Yeah," Stiles said, glancing down at Lydia leaning against him. "But I gotta check on my dad first,"

"I should probably check on mines too,"

"I'll tell him to call you," Stiles said.

Scott wanted to protest, but he just didn't have it in him and Malia was looking at him in a way that simply said hell no you're taking a shower then bed.

"Anyone need a ride?" Scott asked.

Liam shook his head. "Theo's got his truck,"

Theo looked at Liam. He tried not to smile at the fact that there was no talk or discussion about the fact the two teenagers would be taking his truck back to Liam's.

They said their final goodbyes of the night.

Everyone hugged but Theo was already in his truck. He didn't do hugs. And he was pretty sure no one wanted to hug him.

He could feel everyone looking at him as Liam said goodbye to his pack and got in Theo's truck.

He started the engine and drove off, trying not to look back at the faces of the people he had hurt so much in the past.

Damn all this emotional shit he was feeling.

"Are we gonna talk about that or?" Stiles pointed to the truck as is drove away.

Malia laughed.

"He saved Liam's life," Scott offered.

Stiles raised an eyebrow.

"Liam trusts him," Scott said. Three sets of eyes looked at him. "Can we worry about Theo later?"

"I don't think we need to worry about Theo," Lydia said. "I'm sure Liam has it."

"If you say so," Malia said.

By the time Theo and Liam pulled up in front of his house they were both too tired to function let alone speak to one another.

They climbed the stairs two at a time and Liam collapsed face first into his pillows. "I can't even be bothered taking a shower," He sighed, wrapping his arms around his pillow.

"You should you stink," Theo joked.

"I don't have time to argue with you, asshole," was Liam's response.

Theo laughed. Arguing with Liam, the back and forth banter they had developed, it made him feel lighter.

"You wound me, Dunbar," Theo replied. "Well, I'm going to take a shower,"

"M'kay," Liam mumbled, his breathing slowing and evening as sleep pulled him closer.

"Hey, Liam?" Theo asked.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you for not dying for me." He said in a rare moment of weakness.

"Thanks for not dying for me either," Liam smiled into his pillow.

Theo headed for the guest room where he'd spend the better part of the past few weeks sleeping.

They never spoke about it but after everything at the station and zoo Liam had figured out that Theo was basically homeless. With everything going on he'd said Theo could stay in the guestroom, he had made some excuse about him being close in case of a fight and Theo had been too tired to put up a fight.

Now the fighting was over and Theo was still here.

Part of him half expected Liam to kick him out, part of him knew he wouldn't.

By the time Theo had showered and dried himself off Liam's snoring had filled the entire house. Theo walked by Liam's room to check on him. He didn't know why. He could hear him snoring, he was asleep and clearly fine.

He was half under his covers now sprawled out on his front. Theo gulped. He'd stripped everything off except his boxers.

Something inside him stirred.

Theo shook his head.

He made his way back to the guest room again and sat on the edge of the double bed.

Fighting the Wild Hunt had made Theo and Liam somewhat friends. The hunters and the Anuk-ite had made them something else.

Something Theo was nowhere near ready to deal.

Damn emotions.

Damn Liam.

He just had to go and drag him out of that hell and go and make him care. Theo hadn't cared like this since he was a child, the Dread Doctors had seen to that.

He threw his head back against the pillows.

Ugh.

He found himself listening to Liam's snoring and his heartbeat thumping. It calmed him and the weight of his emotions did not seem so heavy to him now. Eventually, he drifted off to sleep.

Who knows what tomorrow would bring.
