" I almost had you, and I didn't even know it"- Bowling for soup - Song / Almost


It was his last day as a free man,

And Theo couldn't keep his eyes off him all night.

He probably danced with every girl [ and bi guy ] at that club, a cheeky pinch here, a tender stroke there. But his eyes were always on Mason. Luckily he was always with his "pack" Liam, Corey Malia, dancing around him, with him, on him. Theo would grit his teeth occasionally from jealousy.

He told himself that he couldn't feel that way anymore. Mason was taken, claimed, sealed signed and delivered to Scott McCall. The part chimera should have said something. Now it was way too late, Mason was getting hitched and there was nothing that he could do. He sure as hell wasn't going.


That's why he had to spend as much time as possible with him, well looking at him from a far, which is what he'd been doing with angst, for the last Three years. Now he had to bite his tongue while "The McCall's jumped" into married bliss, and it made him want to set the world alight with rage.

He pulled himself away, creeping into a dark corner to try and compose himself. His claws were coming out and he needed to be a way from people. Until he heard a familiar growl. He turned and sure enough Liam was throwing a tantrum, glasses, plates, and any object his could get his hands on.

"Li! Not Tonight!" Stiles yells as a coaster whizzes past his head. It takes a pack effort to drag him out of the club. Mason is by his side as always., They piled into Theo's truck and he drops them off one by one until it's Liam and Mason last.


"You guys need help back there?" Theo asked.

"Not from you!" Liam slurs clearly drunk.

"Liam! shhh! We like Theo!" Mason pokes him in shock

"Sure Theo, you like us a little toooooo much, don't you" Liam grins and Theo resists reach across and slap him quiet.

"Okay we're getting out now" Mason says.

He nods a "Thanks" and helps Liam out of the car.

He waits outside taking wistful looks at Mason. As drunk as Liam is, maybe he's said something. He could spill the beans and could told Mason the feelings he can sense. The longing he can smell. If his best friend blabbed he'd be doing him a huge favour. He starts the car, psyching himself up to get out of town tomorrow. The hum of the car soothes him, before he hears a bang on the window. He turns warily growling to his right.


Hey Theo open up! Mason asked cheerily.

Theo's eyes stop glowing. With Mason's dark eyes on on him, his heart is pounding, but he stays as calm as possible.

"Liam okay?" Theo asked.

"Yeah his Mom's tucking him in. But I'm more worried about you" Mason opens the passenger door.

"Me? Why? It's your wedding, not mine"

"I know, but we've gotta talk" Mason said getting in.


"About?" Theo asks.

He tenses up as Mason grabs his hand and strokes it.

"Mase?" Theo asked.


He looks over at him, the human fiddles with Theo's hand running the were's knuckles against his cheek. He then, does something he's never done before. He put's Theo's hand across his mouth and sighs through it.

Theo's more than just thankful it's dark, his friend has no idea he's praying away the erection in his pants. He's extremely glad that Mason's human. A gorgeous one, but still.

"Is...something wrong?" Theo whispers, puzzled.

"Yeah, and I think you know why..we need to get you to my place...start the car, take me home" Mason says gently dropping Theo's hand.

Theo stares at him electrified before starting the engine at the speed of lightning.
