#he absolutely would be that guy that uploads a pic from a friend's wedding and hopes that ppl know which one in the pic is him

[starrystevie]

eddie’s going on a tinder date with a cute guy named steve.

he likes his freckles, brown eyes and cheeky grin. they don’t have much in common but the conversations they have in the app messages flows suspiciously easily. he’s a bit in love and antsy at the table as he watches the door anxiously for his date.

he sees person after person walk into the bar and his beer is dripping condensation onto his hand as he grips it, nerves shooting through the roof. eddie glances at the table and then back up to the door when a guy walks in and if eddie wasn’t waiting for his date, he’d want to go talk to him.

he’s cute, hot even, floppy brown hair and a charming grin, hands shoved into the pockets of his coat as he looks around the bar. his shirt clings to him in just the right way and his jeans fit him a bit too perfectly. eddie can’t help but stare and then the guy is staring back while he waves, ducking his head as he walks over.

“hey, eddie,” the man breathes out, his cheeks tinged pink from the wind. “sorry i'm late. parking was a bitch.”

and eddie’s confused. because this guy has brown eyes but not the ones he expected. freckles that are more spread out and distinct, trailing down to his neck instead of blanketing his face. his smile is perfect and he’s looking at eddie like he knows him. eddie’s a bit stunned, gaping at the guy with a slack jaw, because he’d remember someone as handsome as him if they’d met before.

“…hi?” he says like it's a question, taking a sip of his beer to do something with his hands.

he watches as the man’s eyebrows crease in confusion and the way his shirt stretches over his chest as he takes off his jacket. “it’s- i’m steve? you are eddie, right?”

eddie can feel his own eyebrows raising, wiping off his damp hand to fish his phone out of his pocket. he quickly finds steve’s profile, ignoring the messages they've sent each other over the past weeks that leave his stomach filled with butterflies, and pulls up the profile picture steve uploaded.

looking at it closely, he glances at who he thinks is steve, at the freckles dusting over his face and the toothy grin he's flashing at the camera. he's not exactly they type eddie usually goes for, but he's witty and sweet and knows about dnd, apparently, so what's not to love?

but then he looks at the other person in the picture that's slightly out of focused next to ‘steve’. looks at the two moles stark on the side of his neck, his pink tinted cheeks. the floopy brown hair and the pretty brown eyes and-

“steve?!” eddie exclaims, looking between the man in front of him and the picture on his phone. “you’re steve?”

the guy- steve- grins sheepishly, leaning on his elbows over the table to look at eddie’s eyes phone. he’s close, too close, close enough that eddie wants to-

“ohh,” he says and scratches at the back oh his head, eyes downturned with a blush trailing up his neck. “yeah, maybe i shouldn’t have used a group photo for a dating app.”

“so who did i think you were?”

their eyes meet and even in the dim bar light, eddie finds himself falling into the specks of green he sees. steve looks at the phone quickly then back up with a smirk. “my best friend, tommy. he’s kind of an asshole, though. you’re better off with me.”

“is that so?” eddie leans back, taking a sip of his beer, and really takes in his date that he now knows is steve. his toned arms, his broad shoulders, his pretty pink cheeks and pretty pink lips.

“what, are you disappointed?”

steve smiles gently and it lights up his face in a way eddie isn’t expecting. between the way he looks in a dingy bar and the way talking with steve is easier than any date he’s had before, he can’t imagine what disappointment he could ever possibly feel knowing that his date is who he is.

suddenly there’s a foot hooking around his ankle and it sends goosebumps tingling up his spine. steve’s smile softens just a bit and eddie can feel himself mirroring it back, letting out a breath he didn’t know he was holding.

“i don’t think disappointed’s the right word.”

Life Update: Idk where else to write down my thoughts and experiences for almost the past year.

To get myself caught up with the last post I made from last year, it was my final year in HS and I never wanted to leave that rancid hél/hø\e so damn bad. I finally graduated and got into college. This freshman year is the absolute worst. On top of that, I couldn't get a dorm room, which is expected according to the hierarchy of classmen. But anyway, this year's schedule has been extraordinarily harmful to my physical and mentally. Since I don't have a dorm, I gotta commute to my classes every single day. In my case, I must drive all the way from the south to the city (1hr 30min on avg.) This is not a bad drive, unless u wanna beat the I-75/I-85 9 - 5 traffic. Which ALSO MEANS I gotta wake up at 4:00 am and leave the house by 5 if I want to arrive in time for my 8 and 10 am classes. Additionally, my last class during Mon,Weds, and Fri ends at 5pm. I don't get home till about 7. AND on top of all that, Tue and Thurs is when I work my part time shift. The latest my shift can end is at 7:30pm and it takes me at least 30 mins to get home. If I want to get the most sleep possible, I gotta be in bed by 9. My sleep schedule bc of this is incredibly fùçk3d up. Luckily, me and my friend made a little room for me to sleep in my car. Which is also another problem. Bc Im too damn sleep deprived, I oversleep multiple times and end up missing classes. Classes where I can't easily get a PowerPoint w/readily available info to write. I feel incredibly behind.

My mental and physical health has gotten progressively worse since I moved outta my mom's house. I really don't wanna get into grave detail abt my family, but TLDR; both parents are complexly problematic, but one's more flexible than the other. But, Jesus Christ Almighty, living with this man is insufferable. Nothing but complaining, guiltripping, nonchalant shaming, and being plain irritating. He brings a wave of negative energy anytime he enters a room. Granted, there are things that he complains about that are justified, but he's getting more and more senile everyday. So he just gets mad at anything now. It pisses me off but also makes me sad. Another thing is that work is overexerting my well-being whilst giving me such a low pay. For context, I work in a warehouse now. Lifting boxes every other day that are half the size of you will give you nausea. My feet have blisters and my hands are cramping. My calves burn, my entire arm is aching, and my head pounds harder than ever. My friend suggests that I might have burn out, and I believe it with every bone in my body. Working at a place that accepts newly hs grads, ofc there would be å$5h0lés my age and worse. The smell has gotten worse since I moved in w dad. He essentially lives in a white trash neighborhood, so the smell outside is horrendous. This smell has affected the inside of my house and now I reek. And the ppl at work love to remind me abt my smelly ass despite trying my hardest to mask it. I seriously cannot stand other day in there and hopefully I can get a new job this upcoming summer.

But apart from all this, the cherry on top of this shit show was today after work. I got off early and wanted to visit this little gravesite around in my area to take pics and upload on here. I chickened out. It's too damn dark for me to take any so I walked around, contemplating life per usual. I decided to go inside the convenience store. I asked if there were any sleeping pills/melatonin and the guy had asked a question that made my mind go blank,

"Are you homeless?"

Never in life would I hear those words issued to me, but if I'm gonna be completely honest, I live at my dad's house, not paying any bills or insurance (yet), I sleep in my car majority of the day, and I have the worst pay to labor ratio. So technically, Imma borderline broke ass freeloading bum. But anyway, I was even more in shock when he rang my items. I forgot my wallet in the car and told him I was going to run out n grab it, but he just gave me the bag with an empathetic, "it's okay". And now I feel like a piece of shit to completion. Bc in hindsight, Im not HOMELESS, but it damn sure feels like I am.

I can't believe Im turning into every person I've met in the workforce. Ppl who just live paycheck to paycheck and just let the days past by; not doing anything but working. I use to make fun of those ppl at my last job as a cashier while in HS, but seriously, I got the realest reality check of my life. I really cannot live a life like that for 30+ years if I can't figure something out by graduation. Else I'm better off with maggots in my eyes and my skin wilting in the ground.

I'm done ranting, I need some sleep.... GN and happy Halloween ✌🏽

The Escort

Walter Marshall x Reader

Words: 2,064

Warnings: none

Happy super late Valentine’s, Cavillry! As usual, this is a very very late upload but in my defense, it does say in my bio that I am a procrastinator soooo... Anyway, I’m really excited about this miniseries because I love the movie (The Wedding Date, 2005) and I really wanted to write Walter, I hope I do him justice!

Feedback (good and bad!) means the world to me as rookie writer, so I hope you’ll like, reblog and leave me some replies!

---------------------------------------

You could not believe you were doing this. You just couldn't. But there you were doing it, even though your mind screeched at you to stop and save a little dignity for yourself.

The fact that you even considered doing this was already a serious loss of dignity points, so what the hell. People did this all the time, didn’t they? There wouldn’t be a whole network of people clumped into this app if it wasn’t a normal occurrence.

It just wasn’t a normal occurrence for you.

Once you filled your head with rationalisations to make yourself feel better, you took a deep breath and began browsing through what the great city of New York had to offer.

Z, 6’, loving hands, fit, athletic, good manners, for water sports, caramel complexion.

For water sports? What in the hell did that mean? And that single initial in place of an actual name? Serial killer vibes. No, thank you.

Lenny, 6’2”, pretty fit Italian, excellent dinner companion, all occasions catered.

Alright. Okay. Now we’re talking. Tall, European, excellent dinner companion equals to good conversationalist, accommodating. Lenny goes on the list of possibilities.

Terry, 6’, my soft voice will arouse you, my strong hands will pleasure you,  let me show you how a woman should be treated, hourly/overnight rates.

Oh no no no. Major creep vibes from Terry. That ad alone had you reaching for another long swig of wine.

Joey, 5’8”, are you into champagne?, bodybuilder, will treat you like a queen.

“If you like piña coladas…” you sang in not even remotely the right key, topping off your drink

Josh, 5’9”, I can make you feel sexy and wanted. Fit, sensual, strong.

“Well!” you exclaimed drunkenly, almost spilling wine on your couch, “Tough beans, Josh! I don’t need a man to make me feel sexy and wanted!” you faltered a bit, your drunk mind still seeing the holes in your logic

“I just… Need a man to help me not look like a tragic spinster in front of my family and my ex...”

With that thought fresh in your mind, you reached for some more wine.

The ads went on and on as you scrolled through your phone, it was all a little overwhelming, how were you going to make sure you weren't hiring some psychopathic serial killing pervert to pose as your date to your sister's wedding?

The groan you let out bounced off the walls of your apartment. The reality of your situation was sinking in little by little. 

Yes. You were hiring a male escort for your sister's wedding. It was your baby sister's wedding, by the way. You were a hundred percent aware that what you were doing was completely and utterly pathetic but you’ve already weighed the pros and cons in your head countless times.

Showing up alone: pitying looks, whispering behind your back, having to face ex by yourself, staggering levels of embarrassment.

Showing up with handsome -hired- date: mother can finally get off your back, date is more handsome than ex, ex will want to shrivel up and die, no one will know date is male escort except you and him.

Now, let’s break down some of the guests just for the sake of being thorough. 

There’s your slightly overbearing mother (slightly meaning every call you have with her opens with the question: “how's your love life, dear?” or “I have the most amazing man to set you up with!”), all of her judgy eagle-eyed friends (mostly rich widows whose sons your mom shamelessly shoves your way), your extended family (some terrifyingly old school great aunts and uncles who will definitely ask if you’re married and smile sympathetically when you say you’re not), and last but certainly not the least, Jeffrey, your ex-fiancé (best man, but apparently not the best man for you, his words not yours).

"Lordy fuck." you exhaled hard, chugging your wine straight from the bottle

How on earth did you get here? Sitting alone in your apartment, working your way through your second bottle of wine (or third? Who was keeping count?), clicking on ads that spoke of "hot single males in your area" waiting to meet you.

Would it be fair to pin it all on the end of your engagement?

Picturing that moment, you decided that it was only fair. Those were five years of your life you would never get back, you were prepared to sign on for more but, yeah.

You were blindsided, that's the only way to describe it. All the while, you thought that you and Jeffrey were on the same page, at the same place in life. You were the golden couple, the couple that all the other couples wished they could be, when you two walked past, girlfriends would give their boyfriends a slap on the shoulder that meant, "Why can't we be more like them?"

It was so out of nowhere, one minute you were discussing wedding cake options over dinner, then suddenly you're putting the ring in his palm, completely in shock. 

After that, you threw yourself into your work despite the fact that you were already a budding workaholic to begin with. That's how you ended up earning six figures a year. 

Six figure salary, check. Doing pretty well in life all things considered, check.

But even with all that, there weren't any conversations over casseroles and cobblers about your many achievements. Nope, your mother and her friends would much rather discuss their worries that you would essentially, die alone.

Your little sister, Amy, getting married before you didn't exactly help to put a lid on all the chatter. And with Jeffrey being the best man? And you being maid of honour? 

It was a disaster waiting to happen.

Maybe you could make up an excuse believable enough to get you off the hook so you wouldn’t have to go?

Were you really thinking about bailing on your little sister’s wedding? If she wasn’t taking cues from your mother, it would be the only one she ever had.

Not one of your finest moments as a sibling.

With the complications of your situation fully realised, you took to reading the ads with a little more effort. Luckily, you didn’t have to look for long.

Nick, 6’, male, tall, good looking, strong build. You will not be disappointed.

The ad was considerably less flashy than the others but you supposed that’s what drew you to it in the first place. It was understated, simple, and his ad wasn’t entirely made up of overcompensating flexing pics.

Mostly because he didn’t need them.

Call off the search, send the boys home. You had a winner here!

Staring up at you from your phone screen was the most handsome man you have ever seen in your life. Literally.

A mane of thick, artfully disheveled curly hair, eyes that were a light shade of blue that had a sort of dark intensity and intelligence that you could spend days trying to understand, and a smile. Oh, that smile was absolutely suckerpunching. It was odd though, something in your head was telling you that this man did not smile often.

You couldn’t tell if the warmth blooming in your chest and creeping towards your cheeks was from all the wine or from examining this prime specimen. Jeez Louise!

“Phew!” you fanned yourself upon stumbling on a photo of him crossing his arms in a tank top. Good God, you hoped he had a license for those guns!

You had to set your phone down for a minute to think things through although it seemed absolutely nuts that you had to think twice at all. It’s just that after the initial excitement and hormones wore off, it was becoming more and more evident that this man was too good to be true.

Just look at him! Were there actually men that looked like that? And why didn’t they live closer to you? A quick sweep of his profile placed him in Minneapolis.

What were the crime rates like there? And did they have a high rate of murders relating to escort services?

Before you could even google anything related to that, you stopped yourself. If you kept at this rate, you would never get anything done! Finally, after a methodical deliberation (aka ogling the pictures on his ad), you saved Nick’s contact number to your phone.

Aaand that’s as far as you’d go for the night. You could call him tomorrow when you weren’t a floundering drunk. It was like your mother always said, “Always be sober for a business transaction, but anything else calls for a cocktail.”

-------------------------

The following morning, you sat at your little breakfast nook, eggs still piping hot and untouched, and a hangover in full effect. You’ve been staring at the phone number for so long, you could say it in your sleep.

Come on, Y/N, the wedding is five freaking days away.

What if this guy was fully booked? You didn’t want to spend five days surrounded by family with Mr. my-soft-voice-will-arouse-you, did you?

You slammed your finger down on the call icon and stuck the phone to your ear. Your heart beat faster and faster with every ring and your palms became so slick with sweat that you almost dropped your phone a couple of times. 

Maybe you should have taken your mother up on the multiple occasions that she wanted to set you up with someone. Alright, on second thought, you didn’t really want to be with someone who only looked good on paper but was actually an insufferable mama’s boy.

“Hello?” a male voice answered, catching you off-guard

Oh, God. Okay, you’re really doing this.

“Yes, hi! Hi. Uh, I’m looking for Nick!” you chirped, in a startled high pitched squeak you didn’t dare recognise as your own

The silence on the other end was starting to make you sweat behind the knees. It suddenly dawned on you that you didn’t mention any specifics.

“Uh, sorry! I got this number from the, uh, the ad. I’m looking for Nick?”

“Yes! Yes, that’s right, but Nick isn’t in right now. This is his manager.”

Was that a good sign? That a male escort had a manager? Did all male escorts have managers? You clearly didn’t know enough about this stuff.

“It’s a pleasure, Mister..?”

There was another beat of silence before the person on the other line answered, you tried your hardest not to overthink about what that could have meant.

“Foley! I’m Foley, Nick’s manager.” Mr. Foley’s voice returned to your ear, sounding much too bright for your liking. 

Christ, what were you, a cop? To be honest, you were exhausted. Despite all the alcohol in your system last night, you barely got any sleep. You spent the rest of the night reading through some reviews of Nick’s service as an escort.

He had a glittering five star rating.

One woman hired him to pose as her husband at a high school reunion and by the end of the night, she ended up proposing to him. He respectfully declined and even bought her dinner afterwards.

That review alone was enough to convince you that you would be in good hands. So, it was time to buckle down, swallow the nerves, and handle your business like the adult you were.

“Mr. Foley,” you shook your hair out and put on your professional voice. “I’d like to book your client for five days, give or take. I need a plus one for a wedding. Is he available to leave on the-”

“Please hold. I’ll check his schedule.”

“Oh. But I didn’t mention when I-”

“He’s available. Would you prefer to pick him up at JFK or will he meet you at your place of residence?”

“Oh. Uh, I guess I could pick him up. Do I pay for his ticket or..?” you were feeling a teensy bit of whiplash at how fast this was all going

There was some rustling on the other line and the muffled sounds of bickering. You tried not to let that concern you.

“We’ll handle that, Ms. Y/L/N. We have your number, we’ll be in touch for further details. Good bye.”

The line went dead and you were left staring at your phone in confusion. Did you tell him your name?

[itsluhsbitch]

maybe one day

a/n: so the title is super unrelated. And I was just feeling things and this just kinda happened. Hopefully ya’ll don’t hate it.

---------------------------

You smiled as you watched your cousin, Mia, and her husband share their first kiss, binding their marriage. Your heart warmed watching as they pulled apart, smiles on both their faces. You’ve met her husband, Luke a number of times, and he was nothing short of a gentleman. It warmed your heart to see them together, and when you heard they got engaged you were ecstatic, happy that she had found a good one.

The reception was beautiful, your favorite part however was the open bar. You were on your second drink, going to sit back at your table as Luke and Mia had their first dance. You sighed a bit, watching how in love the two were, jealous of it. You were 22 and not once have you had a relationship that lasted longer than 3 months; you catching the guys lying, or cheating, or just couldn’t be bothered to entertain them and their childish ways.

Your parents had went out to dance as well, leaving you alone. You got up to get another drink, your third one of the evening, when Mia ran up behind you.

“getting a few drinks in you before I drag you out to dance” Mia spoke, causing you to turn and smile at her, immediately throwing your arms around her.

“you know I don’t dance Mia” you laughed, you two separating from your hug, your hands on her shoulders “or should I call you Mrs. Hemmings now?” you smiled, watching her blush.

“I still can’t believe it.” she shook her head in disbelief, a smile on her face.

“me either. although, this isn’t quite the barbie fairy princess wedding you dreamed about when we were little” you smirked, causing her to laugh.

“come on (y/n)! I was 7!” she defended herself, the two of you laughing.

“for real though Mia, congratulations. I’m really happy for you.”

“thank you, and don’t worry, one day you’ll find your Ken too” she teased.

“hopefully” you sighed, taking another sip of your drink.

“well, I should go find my husband” Mia spoke, smiling as the words left her lips, “but don’t think I won’t get you out on that dance floor before the night is over!” she giggled, turning and running off to find Luke.

You headed back to your table, sitting down and just watching everyone. You took your phone out and snapped a few pics of Mia and Luke dancing; you even got a few of your parents dancing as well.

-------------------------------

Calum was in the middle of talking to Luke when he saw his wife, Mia talking to some girl, Calum immediately zoning out of the conversation with Luke.

“Calum are you even paying attention?” Luke spoke, noticing the boys distant stare.

“sorry mate, but who’s that Mia’s talking too?” Calum asked, Luke turning his head in search for his wife.

“Oh! That’s her cousin, (y/n).” Luke answered, turning back to his friend. “why?”

“Just curious” Calum played it off.

“yeah, she’s really cool. I’ve met her a few times”

Just then Mia came up and wrapped her hands around Luke, a smile on her face.

“hi husband.” she giggled, “hi Cal, can I steal him for a bit?” Mia asked, looking at Cal with big eyes.

“yeah it’s fine” he laughed, Mia and Luke’s hands linking together and walking back to the head table.

Calum turned and looked back to the bar only to see you no longer there, scanning around looking for you to see you back at a table, your phone out.

“go talk to her mate” Calum heard beside him, causing him to turn and see Ashton, who offered him a small smile and a nod before turning and sitting back at a table with Mike.

Calum sighed, looking back over to where you were. He knew his friend was right. He thought you were so beautiful, and he knew he would beat himself up if he didn’t talk to you. 

Calum walked to the bar, got himself a beer, and then pointed at you, asking the bartender what you had been drinking, and getting one of those as well, walking towards your table.

------------------------------

“is uh- is anyone sitting here?” you heard beside you, causing you to turn and look at the source of the voice, and your breath hitched when you met the most gorgeous pair of brown eyes you’ve ever looked into.

“um n-no.” you stuttered.

the boy slid the chair out and sat down, placing a drink down on the table and sliding it towards you, causing you to raise your brow.

“I uh, I noticed you earlier, and just asked the bartender what you were drinking.” he spoke, his accent a little more evident.

“well, thank you” you smiled.

“I’m um, I’m Calum by the way.” 

“That’s different. I like it” you smiled “I’m (y/n)” you replied,  taking a sip of your drink before looking him in the eyes again. “Mia’s cousin” you finished.

“so I’m assuming you know Luke?” you asked.

“oh yeah. We’ve uh, we’ve been friends for a while.” Calum answered, going on to talk about them going to school together, and starting a little garage band and that they had uploaded videos on youtube with their other two friends, to which you immediately begged he show you a few.

“you look so cute here” you muttered as you two were huddled closer to see the video, biting your lip as soon as it slipped past your lips. You and Calum had a few more drinks in the time you two had been sitting there and talking, a light buzz hitting you both. You honestly couldn’t help but let it slip. He looked so different now than 6 years ago when he was 18.

Calum felt his cheeks heat up, and he wasn’t sure if it was just because of the small little compliment, or the fact that you two had scooted so close to one another.

“do you guys still play?” you asked, turning to look at him.

“yeah, here and there.” Cal smiled.

“so this means I’ll have chance to get to hear you sing?” you asked, smiling at him, eyes beaming.

“maybe one day.” Calum spoke.

“I’m looking forward to it.” you flirted.

------------------------------

Luke walked up to the table the boys were seated at; a beer sat in front of him as soon as he sat down.

“thanks mate” Luke nodded at Mike before taking a sip. Luke looked around, noticing Calum wasn’t there.

“where’s Cal?”

“he went off to talk to some girl like two hours ago. Haven’t seen him since” Ashton spoke.

Just then Calum walked up to the table, a smile on his face.

“there he is!” Mike nodded behind Ashton, all the boys’ heads turning to look that way, Cal smiling and sitting down before his friends started asking questions about the past 2 hours.

---------------------------------

You and Calum had stopped watching videos of him and his friends garage band, much to your dismay. You thought he looked absolutely adorable in the videos. But you two quickly dove into conversation, getting interrupted when your dad came up to ask you to dance for the father, daughter dance.

You looked at Calum, who just nodded in understanding. He stayed at the table as you and your dad headed out to the dance floor. Calum watching as you and your dad started dancing, Calum getting up and heading back to his friends table.

---------------------------------

You looked over your shoulder and saw Luke cutting in to dance with Mia, your dad muttering to you “that’ll be you someday”

You were about to reply when a voice you’ve grown to know spoke beside you.

“excuse me sir, do you mind if I cut in?”

Your dad couldn’t help but notice the smile that made it’s way onto your face as soon as the boy spoke.

“sure” your dad spoke as your hands let him and Calum stepped in.

“you gonna stand on my feet too?” Calum chuckled as his hands settled on your waist and yours found their way around his neck.

You buried your head in his chest.

“oh my gosh” you groaned, embarrassed he saw that.

“what? I thought it was cute” he teased, squeezing your sides a bit making you squirm, a small little laugh slipping past your lips as the two of you swayed back and forth.

After you two danced, and the song had finished, the dance floor was cleared for Mia to throw the bouquet, all kinds of girls standing around ready for her to toss it.

“you’re not in there?” Calum asked beside you, a drink in his hand.

“are you crazy? those girls don’t play around when it comes to catching that bouquet.” You spoke, watching as it was thrown behind her, and three grown women fought to catch it.

“oh damn, you’re right” Calum winced, seeing on of the girls pulling at another’s hair.

“so I was thinking.” Calum spoke, causing you to look at him, “maybe you’d wanna get outta here?” he asked shyly.

“and what exactly did you have in mind?”

“well, my mates and I were probably gonna leave soon and go back to our place, order a pizza, hang out, drink a beer or two.”

“I think pizza and a beer or two sound great” you smiled.

Liam snorted while he took a bite of his croissant and set his coffee mug down to type a reply. The pack had met for a late breakfast/brunch and was now sitting in a nice café with coffee, tea, and croissants or bagels.

[to Mason] He was drunk. We all were. And since Theo and I are mated, we technically are werewolf-married, so I’m not sure if this applies to our deal. But yeah, you will be the first one of us to have a normal human wedding. And the pictures…we had fun and played a game. I wasn’t even aware we got filmed in the elevator but let it be said, this is a rather tame video given what happened afterward. Oh, get a grip!

[to Corey] My reply might have broken him even more…XD

[from Corey] He’s gaping at his phone like a fish and I’m dying here XD

Liam snickered and searched for the pictures and videos that obviously disturbed his best friend that much. Some had actually made it online and Liam laughed loudly. “You uploaded the video of Theo proposing to me?“ He asked Ever who had been about to bite into her croissant and now froze midbite. “Uh…“ "She did what? You did what??“ Theo asked and leaned over to look at Liam’s phone. He watched the short video and tilted his head. “It’s cute in a very strange way.“ He scrunched his nose. “Must be still hungover if I find myself cute.“ “It was cute. You were torn between being insanely fluffy and sappy and horny and shameless. It was quite a combination.“ Liam teased his boyfriend and jumped when he felt the sharp prick of teeth on his shoulder through his shirt. Not enough to hurt him but to send a shiver down his spine and he tilted his head to kiss Theo’s forehead. Theo smiled at him and the mated couple just looked at each other for a few moments, just focused on each other. “Is this just me or are the two of you even more in love this morning?“ Nolan asked. He had probably the most problem with his hangover and nibbled on a cup of herbal tea and some toast. “I’m not an expert but a reason for that could be this.“ Mike said and pulled the collar of Theo’s shirt down, exposing probably the most prominent bitemark Liam had left on his mate’s skin. “Because Liam obviously got hungry last night and had to take a bite.“ He grinned and Theo swatted his hand away. “You will understand if you ever find a mate yourself!“ He sassed back and Mike just grinned and made a kissing sound.

Liam was still checking what his Betas had posted and what else he could find on his phone. Former experiences showed Liam had a thing for messing around with his phone when he was drunk and it often led to some hilarious snaps he had no memory of taking but they were there. This time, however, they were less hilarious and more a different kind of entertaining, even only for himself. “Holy…“ Now he had everybody else’s undivided attention. “What?“ Maya asked. “Nothing. Absolutely nothing.“ Liam said resolutely and tried to will down the blush that was about to spread over his cheeks. His pack gave him funny looks and especially Theo raised an eyebrow. Liam ignored this and rather decided to start a completely new topic. “Plans for today?“ “I’d like to ride the ferry and take pictures of New York’s skyline.” Tim said. “And tomorrow maybe a helicopter flight over the city. Because if I do it today, I might barf.“ “Oh no, I’m not getting into a helicopter!“ Mike immediately said. Maya grinned. „Hold on, you are not afraid of flying with a plane but you are afraid of flying with a helicopter?“ “It’s smaller, crowded, and it makes worse sounds.“ Mike told her and to everyone’s surprise, Sadie agreed with him. “I’m afraid of helicopters too.“ “Okay, so the helicopter flight is still in question but the ferry ride is really interesting. I‘d like to visit a museum. Some great masterpieces are hanging around town.“ Theo said. “Museums? Really?“ Neither Mike nor Ever nor Nolan nor Tim looked as excited about that and Liam could not blame them. Art was really not their forte. But Maya, Sadie, and Theo would like to visit a museum and he wanted to give them the chance. “We can part ways for a while. We are here in New York and there are so many great things to do. So, you go and visit whatever museum you want to visit and we others find something else to do.“ He decided and his pack nodded. “Honestly, Liam, were you always that good at finding a compromise?“ Mike asked curiously. Liam laughed. “Real talk? Absolutely not. I’m usually way too impatient, too pigheaded, too stubborn to even think of a compromise. But I learned that this hurts people and that I have to be careful. That sometimes a compromise is better as when everybody loses. And I never tried more to live by that than after becoming an Alpha. I have to go for what’s best for everybody and not for one single person.“ “As someone who knows Liam since he was fifteen, turning sixteen, I can tell you he got so mature over the years and he did an insanely big step into maturity after he became an Alpha. I’m proud of him.“ Theo said with a smile and Liam smiled back at him. The chimera leaned in and brushed his lips against Liam’s ear. “If I had met today’s Liam back then, I honest to god would have tried to seduce you from the first moment on.“ He whispered and Liam smirked. “The key moments in our relationships would have been spiced up for sure under this regards.“ He admitted and nuzzled Theo’s neck. Theo shivered when Liam‘s hot breath ghosted over a bite mark. “You know that even when you whisper, we still can hear you, right?“ Tim asked. “Ignore it, just ignore it, Timmy. It’s the best.“ Sadie muttered and their Alphas grinned.

****** “What’s on your phone?“ Theo inquired. Liam had played on his phone and now looked back at his boyfriend. “Huh?“ “You checked your phone earlier and suddenly you were completely surprised by whatever you found. It can‘t be something bad or you would have reacted differently. So it got me thinking what it could be but I’m literally lost here. Will you tell me?“ Theo explained. He leaned against the headboard of their bed, legs stretched in front of him and crossed at the ankles. The pack had returned to their rooms after breakfast and was now getting ready for a fun-filled day in the city.

Liam looked down for a moment, then he exited his game and went to his picture gallery. “Do you remember that we woke up during the night?“ “We did?“ Theo asked, indicating that he indeed had no recollection of it either. “Looks like it.“ Liam said and showed Theo the first picture. It was relatively tame, showing a sleeping Theo in the moonlight, on his side, bite marks visible on his skin, and the blanket just draped over his hips.

The second picture, however, had Theo on his back and even though he still was clearly drunk in the picture, he managed to look at the camera a sultry smile. The blanket had been tossed aside and his naked body was on full display, especially the dark bite marks. Liam never had any nudes on his phone before but he would keep this picture for sure.  

He jumped to the next but instead a picture it was a video this time. Liam had filmed the whole bed, started at the foot of the said bed and slowly lead the camera all over Theo’s delicious naked body in the dimly lit room. His skin was literally glistening in the moonlight and he looked like a masterpiece painted on the white sheets. Theo had turned on his stomach and just looked over his shoulder to Liam. He smiled softly and bit his lower lip. “Come back to bed, Alpha. Please. Need you close.” He pleaded and the camera moved, Liam obviously put his phone to the side and leaned over Theo to kiss his shoulder and then bite down again, marking him with yet another bite mark. Theo arched up and moaned so sinful and then Liam moved over to the camera and turned it off again.

“They’re hot.” Liam said. Theo gave him a surprised look. “Really?” Liam nodded. “Yeah but you can bet I will never show this to anybody. This is for my personal entertainment. Only I’m allowed to see that.”  Theo stared at him, then he just pulled Liam closer and kissed him hungrily. “Fuck, you being in this determined and firm Alpha mode is so fucking sexy.” Liam chuckled into the kiss and pulled Theo closer. “And I can’t resist you when you basically jump me like that. Fuck, Theo, the Betas are almost ready and will knock again.” “They are clever, they know not to disturb the Alpha couple when they are really having sex.” Theo told him and sucked on Liam’s neck. Liam gasped and closed his eyes. “You’re not even drunk right now, what’s gotten into you?” He inquired with yet another breathless laugh. 

“I am hopelessly in love with you.” Theo replied and Liam squeaked when he was suddenly rolled again and pinned to the bed. Theo grinned down at him and then kissed him softly. “But I admit, if we start now we won’t be finished for the next few hours and that would be a shame. Not that I don’t want to have sex with you but it would be a day in New York wasted. That’s what the night is for.” Liam laughed. “Agreed.” The Betas chose this moment to knock at their door. “Can’t wait for the night.” Liam told his mate and kissed him one last time before they got into their shoes and then left the room. 

****** The street they currently strolled through held a lot of clothing shops, little souvenirs stores and also stores where self-made things like clay pieces were sold. The whole street had this artistic vibe going on and even though Liam was pretty sure he did not have a creative bone in his body (aside from when Theo fucked him), he liked said vibe. 

“This looks pretty.” Ever said and stopped at a clothing store to inspect a flowy tunic in white with flowers on the collar. “Can we go in here?” She asked and disappeared into the store before even waiting for an answer. The guys followed her because it wasn’t just a clothing store for women but also for men and they all looked around. Nolan found some interest in some jeans jackets, Tim and Mike looked at the shoes they offered, and Liam just wandered through the shop. He stopped by the bracelets and the necklaces. He wasn’t a big fan of wearing jewelry, aside from the things he was already wearing and he loved those, but anything else made him feel strange. But he enjoyed pretty things like those necklaces and bracelets.

Liam continued to walk around the shop and stopped by a shelf full of jeans in all colors. The jeans Liam usually wore were comfortable, not too tight but also not too baggy. Normal. Theo, on the other hand, wore jeans that fit him like they were made for him and Liam loved it. He could never pull the things off his boyfriend wore, but sometimes it itched him to upgrade his wardrobe a little bit. 

He looked around, his Betas were still busy with looking at the things and so Liam grabbed some black jeans and some dark blue ones. He strolled towards the part of the shop where they kept the shirts and decided on a black tank and a white muscle shirt before he finally walked towards the dressing room and slipped into one. 

The young Alpha undressed and slipped into the dark blue jeans and the black tank. It was strange to wear a slimmer jeans than usual but as Liam looked in the mirror it didn’t look as terrible as he expected. He tilted his head and watched his reflection from all sides. He finally grabbed his phone and snapped a picture of his reflection before sending it to Theo with an attached message.

[to Theo] How do I look?

It didn’t take long until his phone showed a new text.

[from Theo] Are you kidding me? I’m in a crowded museum and I just moaned. What are you even wearing?

[to Theo] I thought I could try something new. You don’t like it?

Liam had been insecure before but now he had absolutely no idea what to do but he wanted to try the other outfit at least. He liked that one even better and took a picture of that too. Theo had still not replied but Liam sent the other picture as well. If Theo thought he looked hideous, he might as well get two pictures to laugh at.

[to Theo] That’s the other one, fyi.

He changed back into his clothes and left the dressing room, only to almost get run over by Ever. “I got a text from Theo to grab whatever you are holding in your arm and buy it. He will give me money later and I have no idea why but hey, I get money later so I’m not asking any questions.” She explained and plucked the clothes from Liam’s arms. 

“But...” Liam began and followed her to the cash register. “I don’t want to buy those clothes, I just tried them on.”

Ever raised her cellphone and cleared her throat. “Ever, Liam’s in the dressing room. Grab whatever he has in his arms and buy it for me. I’ll give you the money later but Liam needs those clothes and I know he would never buy them himself.” She read out loud and gave Liam a look. “Your boyfriend knows you better than you know yourself. And he has quite an eye for style. If he wants you to wear this, he must be right.” 

Liam wanted to argue but then his phone chimed with a new text and when he went to check it, he could not help but smile.

[from Theo] You look gorgeous and the only problem I have with those clothes is how I can rip them off without destroying them in my haste to get you naked. Because you look so damn hot.

Ever had paid for his clothes meanwhile and handed Liam the shopping bag. “Now, come on, I want to explore more of the street.” She declared and linked his arm with hers so she could pull him out on the street where Mike, Tim, and Nolan were already waiting. 

They continued to walk down the street and found themselves at a shop selling all kinds of body sprays and natural cosmetic. Ever immediately took a shine to it and pulled the guys inside and even though especially Mike protested, he was the first one to get interested in some aftershaves. Liam followed Ever because he had no idea what all those tubes and bottles and sprays were for. When it came to style and wellness, he was pretty basic.

“Seriously, who needs all that?“ He inquired. “Necessarily needing it? Nobody. But it smells good and makes some things nicer and can also help.“ Ever said and reached for a small can “Take this, for example. My aunt used it to rub it on my cousins' chest when she was little and had trouble sleeping. It’s a balm you can massage into the skin and the scent helps you calm down and relax. Good for a baby who has trouble sleeping.“ She opened the can so Liam could see the balm inside. “It‘s also edible which was important for my aunt in case my cousins got it on her fingers and – like kids do – put them in her mouth or whatever.“ She grinned. “Also good for people in relationships to massage each other.“ She added with a wink in Liam’s direction. The young Alpha smirked and smelled the balm. “It‘s a good idea but not with that smell. It smells nice but it’s not Theo, you know? Theo needs another scent.“ He declared while he searched the shelf for the fitting scent. Nothing too fruity, nothing too sweet but also nothing too rough or too musky.

“This one?“ Ever asked after a while and held out a balm for Liam to smell. It smelled like sandalwood, exactly like Theo liked it, and he nodded. “That‘s the one!“ The witch snickered. “You werewolves are so picky.“ She mocked. “You have no idea how it is smelling everything so much more. Some smells I liked before I was bitten now make me nauseous.“ Mike and Tim had appeared next to them, Nolan in their middle. Liam took one look at the boys and grinned when he saw they had their arms wrapped around each other’s waists and were pressed together. “First of, right. The first time I took a shower after I had been bitten and used my favorite shower gel I gagged at the smell. I suddenly noticed how chemical it smelled and it was yuk! Secondly, when I said keep an eye on each other and stay together I didn’t mean it that literally.“ He teased his Betas and Nolan just grinned at him before wrapping his arms around Tim’s and Mike’s shoulders. “Those are my personal security so I don’t get lost.“ “Thank god you‘re single, heh? With such good looking security.“ Ever mused and laughed at Nolan’s happy grin. “We can hold hands in case you are disturbed by us being that close together.“ Tim added innocently and Liam raised an eyebrow at him and then his Beta grinned. “Smooth, Timmy.“ “I try my best.“

****** It had started to sleet after a while and the temperature sunk even further so even a few werewolves and a witch were happy to be back at the hotel where they could have a nice hot shower and curl on the bed while waiting for the rest of the pack to come home. 

Liam stood in the shower and enjoyed his second hot shower for the day. Even he as Alpha werewolf had gotten so cold all of sudden and drenched from the icy rain, he needed this now. He had found the integrated radio in the bathroom and turned it on, listening to the soft sounds while he closed his eyes and rolled his neck. The exhaustion from last night crept up on him too and if he could, he would curl up on the bed and not leave anymore. 

He left the shower after his muscles relaxed again and he didn’t feel cold anymore. He stepped outside the shower and dried himself off before he did something he usually never did: He looked through the various tubes the hotel offered their guest for their well being. With the sweat from last night as well as scrubbing off the body color and the cold, his skin had become quite dry and he needed to moisten it a bit. When he finally found a suitable men’s body lotion he started to apply it to his skin, paying special attention to his tattoos to keep them as vibrant as ever. 

When he was done, he wandered into the room again and leaned over his bag to sort through a few things and pick out some boxer shorts, comfy sweatpants, and his favorite hoodie. He knew he brought it with him to New York but the item of clothing stayed missing. So Liam took another one and got dressed again and added warm socks before he moved to the bed and turned the tv on. He flipped through the channels and finally decided on some Christmas movies. Home Alone was playing and Liam watched the first half an hour of the movie, curling up in bed and enjoying the warmth of the heating while it got nastier and nastier outside. 

He was wavering between being asleep or awake, not really following the movie but watching the rain and the snowfall down outside....

Suddenly his vision shifted and he saw his inner wolf on the bed instead of him. The animal was blinking lazily, curled into a ball and he looked soft and cuddly, not like the wild animal he usually was. His tail flicked softly and Liam really wished he could walk over and pet his wolf.

So he tried, slowly got closer to the bed, watching for any negative reaction from his wolf. Nothing happened and finally, he stood on the side of the bed and his wolf lazily peeked up at him. Liam extended his hand but right before he could touch his wolf, a black wolf jumped on the bed. He looked at Liam, a curious look and at the same, it had something invitingly. And then he gave Liam a curt nod before he put his head against Liam’s wolf and scented him softly, snouts rubbing against each other’s and then he put his head on the brown wolf’s back, curled up with him.

Liam blinked against the fog of the slumber he had slipped into and noticed the calming scent of his anchor surrounding him even before he noticed the lips brushing against his cheek. He turned his head and smiled at Theo. “Hey.“ Theo chuckled and nosed over Liam’s jaw. “You already greeted me, puppy.“ “I did?“ Liam asked. Theo laughed softly. “Yeah, when I came in. You seemed wavering between being awake and being asleep but you answered when I greeted you.“ “Oh.“ Liam rolled in his back. “Guess that was when I dreamed about our wolves again.“ “You did?“ Theo asked while he got up from the bed to take off his jeans and slip into sweatpants and then climbed on the bed next to Liam. “What did they do this time?“ “I saw them in this room. My wolf was on the bed, relaxing, and suddenly your wolf jumped on the bed and cuddled close to him. I almost could pet my wolf this time.“ Liam reached up and play with the string of Theo’s hoodie. “And your wolf looked at me and then nodded almost as if he wanted to say: Go on, leave, this is our realm and my person is waiting for you outside of this realm.“ He still played with the hoodie string but then he noticed something. “Is that my hoodie?“ “Sounds like my wolf is very clever. And yeah, it is. I know it‘s your favorite one and it smells like you, so I wanted to wear it the whole day. You wore my jacket last night, now I wear your hoodie.“ “Looks good on you.“ Liam said with a smile and reached up to put his hand on Theo’s cheek. The chimera leaned down and they kissed softly.

When they curled up on the bed afterward Liam sighed happily. “How was the museum?“ “It was amazing to see all those paintings for real. Very impressive. There were lots of tourist groups but we walked around on our own and occasionally eavesdropped on what the guide told them. It led to some very interesting new facts.“ “Yeah? Like what? Tell me.“ Liam said and laced his fingers with Theo’s while the older man started to tell Liam about various paintings and the stories behind the paintings and the painter itself. Liam had no idea about any of this, maybe some names rang a bell but he couldn’t pinpoint it, but Theo’s eyes sparkled and he seemed so excited and happy to talk about the thing he enjoyed and that was enough for Liam to listen to his mate for hours. Just seeing Theo like this. He didn't need to see all those masterpieces himself, just hearing Theo talk about them was enough.

“Seriously, Dore, why don’t you study art?“ Liam inquired when Theo finally came to an end. “Because I like to draw and I like to visit art museums as my hobby but having it as a profession? I don‘t know if this would not get boring after a while. Since it’s just my hobby I can put it aside for a while when I get bored but have to work with it day in and day out? That’s nothing for me.“ “And if you had the chance to exhibit some of your drawings? Would you do that?“ Theo shrugged. “My art is private to me. And even if I would, I have no idea where I should exhibit them, you know?“ Liam understood that. “Yeah, It just came to my mind.“

Theo nudged Liam softly. “How was your shopping day? Did Ever buy the clothes?“ “She did but you shouldn’t have done this.“ “The clothes looked perfect on you and I know you would have never bought them yourselves so I had to take drastic measures.“ He looked around. “Where are they?“ “In the shopping bag in front of the wardrobe.“ Liam said and pointed to the general vicinity. “I’m too lazy to get up and show them to you now.“ “It‘s okay.“ Theo said and softly stroke through his hair. “I want to stay in bed with you too.“

He pulled Liam closer and Liam pulled the blankets over them before he snuggled close to Theo. Theo leaned against the headboard of the bed again and Liam put his head on Theo’s chest while Theo wrapped his arm around Liam. They turned their attention back to the TV where Santa Buddies were playing. “I want a dog.“ Liam muttered and Theo chuckled while he ran his fingers through Liam’s hair. “A puppy like them?“ “To be honest, I’d love any kind of puppy but if I could choose…Either some mixed race who is just a ball of joy or a breed that is ill-reputed as being aggressive and dangerous but is the most cuddly dog in the world.“ “Maybe we should go and buy a dog when we’re back in Seattle. A pack dog.“ Theo mused. “The dog would get showered with love and affection from the whole pack. Timmy wants a dog since he joined the pack. Or we adopt a wolf, like a real wolf. I’m sure there some abandoned wolf pups somewhere and we take one home with us. It would be a way better fit.“ Theo sucked in a breath and then he chuckled. “Are you just sleep deprived of really that illusional?“ Liam would have glared at Theo but he was too comfortable to move. “Why? It would be the perfect fit.“ “A wolf, a real wolf is way different than us. They don‘t have the whole person thing going on, puppy. They are complete animalistic.“ Liam huffed. “Yeah yeah. Then a wolf-dog breed?“ “That‘s something we can discuss, yeah.“ “Look at you being so mature and reasonable.“ Liam snickered and squeaked when Theo pinched his side and tickled him. “No tickling the Alpha!“ “Is that your new rule?“ Theo amusedly asked and Liam nodded. “Yeah.“ He said and his hand sneaked under Theo’s shirt to scrape his clawed fingers lightly over Theo’s stomach. “The Alpha knows how to defend himself.“ “Uh uh, I’m sure of that.“ Theo teased him softly and gently tugged at Liam’s hair. Liam laughed and snuggled closer to Theo. His mate stroke over his back ad it was just perfect.

So perfect that Liam got sleepy again, comfortable with just being there with Theo. The twenty-two-year-old seemed to get sleepy as well, given that he used to stroke over Liam’s back and his strokes got slower and slower. The room phone ringing at the nightstand disturbed them and Theo sighed before he picked up. “Yeah?“ Liam didn’t even bother to eavesdrop on who was on the other line, he simply hoped it would not mean he had to get up. Theo pulled the phone away from his ear and pressed it against his shoulder. “Sadie asks if you plan on leaving the hotel or if we stay here for the rest of the day.“ Liam raised his head slightly to cast a look outside. It had gotten even nastier. “I’m not taking the ferry when it‘s sleeting. We’re staying here.“ He decided and Theo shared his decision with Sadie. “You tell the boys? Okay great.“ He hung up and leaned back against the headboard. “The girls are happy about staying inside and relaxing. I’m sure the boys will be too.“ Liam hummed and returned to watching the movie and playing with the end of Theo’s hoodie string again. Theo wrapped both arms around him and just held him and Liam felt absolutely safe.

He didn’t even realize he had closed his eyes until he woke up again forty-five minutes later and blinked. He raised his head to see if Theo was awake or not and caught glimpse of the chimera slowly waking up again too. He moved a bit and a look of discomfort crossed over his face. Liam frowned. “Are you hurt?” “A little tightly wound. Shouldn’t fall asleep half sitting, half laying down, even if it’s only for a short while.” He stretched. “I’m getting old.” Theo muttered. Liam laughed. “It’s not that bad. You still look hot. You know, for a twenty-two-year-old. But I may have something to help you.” 

He got up from the bed and went over to his shopping bag to retrieve the balm he had brought. When he returned to the bed, he grinned. “Strip off your shirt and lay on your stomach.”  Theo looked amused but he decided to go with what Liam wanted and pulled the hoodie over his head to drop it next to him on the bed. He rolled over and put his arms under his head. “What are you doing?” He inquired curiously and Liam sat next to him and opened the can of the balm. He dipped his fingers into it and slowly applied it to his boyfriend’s warm skin. Theo shuddered in surprise. “It’s a massage balm. Ever showed it to me and I thought you might like the scent.” Theo inhaled and then he smiled. “Sandalwood?” Liam grinned and hummed affirmatively while he was spreading the balm over Theo’s back and then started to massage his boyfriend’s back. He paid special attention to the extremely tense spots in Theo’s back and Theo moaned every now and then.  “Will you be mad if I fall asleep?” He inquired and Liam shook his head. “No.” He mumbled and pressed a kiss to Theo’s neck. “Sleep. It’s okay.”  Theo smiled and closed his eyes, just laid there and enjoyed the soft treatment from his boyfriend. 

Liam was pretty sure his mate had really fallen asleep and when he finished his massage, he watched the masterpiece that was Theo Raeken. He laid completely still on the bed, breathing slow, and he looked so absolutely beautiful. Strong, body without any trace of fat and all, smooth skin with some moles, light tan going on even now in the winter, and just generally so damn attractive. Liam was truly a lucky guy and he was aware of that. The sandalwood balm mixed perfectly with Theo’s own scent also and Liam loved the scent of his mate. It always calmed him and he associated it with home, so now he leaned over and gently nosed at Theo’s neck. Thanks to Theo wearing his hoodie all day their scents had mingled slightly and his wolf yipped inside his chest at that.

“You smell heavenly.” He mumbled and kissed Theo’s neck again. “Hm, let me guess, I smell like sandalwood and you?” Theo’s soft voice broke through. He obviously had just snoozed and not really been sleeping.  Liam chuckled. “How did you know?” “I’m just that good.” Theo smirked and Liam gently bit down on his neck for that. Theo gasped softly and the scent of arousal hit Liam’s nose. Theo liked it as much as he did. “My wise mate.” He muttered and pressed featherlight kisses all over Theo’s back. Theo moaned and sighed every now and then but he let Liam continue. Only when Liam’s tongue darted out to lick over his shoulder blade, he squirmed slightly. 

“Fuck, Liam...” He arched his back like a cat and pressed against Liam who continued kissing and licking his back before he softly turned Theo around. He smiled at his mate and kissed Theo’s forehead, then he kissed Theo’s chest and looked his boyfriend in the eyes before he leaned down and let his tongue travel over Theo’s abs upward his nipple. Theo’s lips parted in a silent gasp and he ran his fingers through Liam’s hair while Liam’s lips closed around his left nipple and he sucked on it. When he felt the nub turning hard, he let go and licked it and looked up.

Theo’s eyes were dark, flickering between their usual green color and gold, and his breathing was faster than usual while he stared at Liam. “You have a very...” he cleared his throat. “...nice tongue.” Liam grinned and his tongue peeked out between his lips. Theo growled softly and Liam steadied himself left and right from Theo’s head on the bed and leaned down. His tongue ran teasingly over the mating bite on Theo’s shoulder and then he moved further up to lick over Theo’s earlobe.  “I can’t help myself. Your scent is so delicious that I just have to have a taste.” He bit down on Theo’s earlobe and sucked on it. “You also taste delicious.” The Alpha mumbled and Theo moaned and tugged at his clothes. “Get naked! Please, Liam, get naked! I need you. Fuck, please, Liam!” Liam chuckled and licked a stripe over Theo’s neck and then pulled back. They had not even fully started and Theo looked already debauched with flushed cheeks and darkened eyes. And they only darkened more when Liam undressed now.  The minute Liam was naked, Theo shed his remaining clothes too and then reached out for Liam again. Liam followed and Theo pulled him on top of himself. Both moaned when their naked skin touched and rutted against each other. Liam grabbed Theo’s chin and made him look up so he could kiss him properly. 

One kiss quickly turned into a heated makeout session while their naked bodies rubbed against each other. Liam groaned and kissed Theo’s neck again. He stopped at the place where he left a bite mark yesterday. It had healed by now and Liam kind of wanted it back, it had looked good on his mate’s skin.  Theo stroke through his hair. “Want to mark me again?” “I already marked you.” Liam reminded him in a hoarse voice, fingers softly pressing against Theo’s mating bite. Theo let his fingertips dance over his spine while he laughed. “I don’t care. We both love to leave marks on each other’s bodies and I want people to see you claimed me completely.” “Is this a new kink of yours?” Liam gently teased but licked Theo’s skin again and then kissed the skin.  “Not a kink in general. A Liam kink yeah. Things I only like when you do them. And now claim me, Alpha. Let even non-supernaturals see I belong to you.” He demanded.

Liam was once more reminded how perfect Theo was to him. Every intimate encounter left his heart racing, mind and body longing for more. He needed his mate like he needed air to breathe, no matter how corny this sounded. He kissed Theo’s throat and his shoulder, kissed his jaw and his cheek and yet his lips always returned to his neck. And then he could not resist the temptation any longer. He bit down and left a dark mark on Theo’ skin. Theo moaned loudly and his blunt human nails scraped over Liam’s shoulder blades. 

After that Theo’s body basically opened for Liam on its own accord and their bodies found each other in the best way possible. Kisses lingered on the heated skin, fingertips danced over various body parts, bodies pressed against each other in the most heated of all dances and when Liam was finally inside his boyfriend he kept his thrusts steady and deep but slow at the same time. He wanted it to last, even though each thrust aimed for being as deep inside Theo as possible. Theo moaned and threw his head back and Liam used it to mark another part of his neck with another love bite. Theo retaliated and marked Liam in his own way when he scratched his back with his claws. 

Liam gasped in pleasure and nosed over Theo’s cheek to his lips before he kissed him. They looked at each other and Liam never stopped thrusting into Theo but at the same time, he kept his slow speed. Theo smiled up at him. “How often can I propose to you and then say that wasn’t the real one?” He asked suddenly. “Because, god, you need to marry me, Liam!” He moaned and arched his back.  Liam chuckled and licked his lips. “Tell me you want to marry me as often as you want, I love to hear that.”

“Good.” Theo moaned and Liam smiled at him. He laced their fingers together and continued to rock his hips. This time he wasn't touching Theo but he didn’t need to anyway because Theo whimpered and trashed and soon enough he was begging Liam to cum inside him. Liam kissed his temple and Theo pulled his head down to press Liam’s head against his neck while he panted. Liam inhaled the scent of lust, sandalwood, and oh so very Theo, it was his personal drug, and then he suddenly orgasmed, his release deep inside Theo. Theo moaned into his ear and then he climaxed too, spilling between them. 

“Fuck, is this just me or does the sex keeps getting better and better?” Liam asked when he finally rolled next to Theo. They were sticky and needed to clean themselves and so he slowly got up from the bed and walked in the bathroom before he returned seconds later with a wet towel to first clean himself up and then hand it over to Theo.

“It was always perfect but it does get better.” Theo mumbled and cleaned himself up with a huff then he rolled on his side and closed his eyes, arms stretched out in front of him. He only raised his arm when Liam came back to bed again and pulled the covers over them and only then it was enough for Liam to fit under his arm and curl against his boyfriend again. Facing each other and as close as possible, both fell asleep again. 

****** Mike raised his glass. “I wanted to say thank you for you guys coming to New York with me. This was really important to me and usually, it is a very stressful and hard weekend for me but you made it very amazing.” He said and toasted. The pack had met in the evening to have dinner in the hotel restaurant and now sat around the table, the main course already served, when Mike decided to start his little speech.

Ever sighed. “I can’t believe we’re really flying home again tomorrow. What happened to the weekend?” “We had fun and everybody knows time flies when you’re having fun. But Mike needs to attend this gala every year. We come back next year.” Theo said nonchalantly and the pack laughed before they all clinked their glasses together and drank from their respective drinks. Liam usually never cared about wine but tonight he had ordered white wine. Not his best choice, he had to admit that, but it would do for one dinner.

“Liam is absolutely not a wine drinker. The face you make every time you take a sip.” Tim said amusedly and Liam laughed.  “Don’t say this too loud, from all people on this table only Theo is legally allowed to drink. But yeah, white wine isn’t really my forte.”  Theo sighed and took the white wine from Liam’s hand but only to replace it with his red wine. “There you go. Red wine tastes better if you ask me.” He explained and sipped on the white wine. “Yeah, red wine is the better wine.”

Liam smiled at his boyfriend and reached out to put his hand on Theo’s knee under the table. Theo put his hand over Liam’s and Liam saw the small smile of his mate. This weekend had been wonderful in so many regards but one of the best aspects had been that he and Theo grew even closer. It was as if their relationship had reached a new level and Liam loved it. They were a mated couple and yet their relationship was ever growing and evolving. It was truly amazing and when he looked over he saw Theo watching him with a fond smile on his face, eyes full of love for Liam. Liam melted and smiled at him before Theo leaned over and kissed him gently. “Awww.” Their pack said in unison. 

****** Liam woke up the next day to someone knocking at the door of his and Theo’s room. He grumbled and pulled the blanket higher and Theo next to him let out a sleepy growl. “Who’s waking us? We don’t have any appointments.” He muttered and yawned at the end. 

“How am I supposed to know?” Liam asked and when the knocking didn’t stop, he sighed and got up to walk over and open the door. “Room service.” A nice waitress told him and pushed the little cart into the room and past Liam. “Enjoy.” She said and then turned around to leave again. Liam blinked. “Did you order room service?” He asked Theo while he closed the door. Theo shook his head.

Liam inspected the cart filled with boiled eggs, toast, scrambled eggs, orange juice, coffee, bacon, there was literally everything there and then he spotted the little card. Curiosity got the best of him and he took it. 

"For our wonderful big brothers/dads, enjoy your breakfast in bed. Love, the pack.” He read out loud and then smiled at Theo. “Aren’t they cute?” 

Theo chuckled. “Yeah, they are.” He sat up and the blanket pooled around his waist. Despite him wearing a shirt and his pajama pants, Liam had never seen something more attractive in his entire life. He watched Theo stretch and got up to walk over and inspect their breakfast too. His first move was to fill a cup with coffee and raised it to his lips. This was what Liam wanted to see every morning for the rest of his life.

"I want to take your name when we get married.”

Theo stilled, the cup on his lips, and it took him a while to respond. “You want what? Why all of sudden?” Liam shrugged. “Because not only do you belong to me but I also belong to you. Mind, body, and soul, and I want to prove it with every fiber of my being.” Liam explained. Theo honest to god looked surprised, then he put the cup down and pulled Liam in a soft kiss. “I would be honored to share my last name with you but let’s discuss this when it’s really time, okay?” “My opinion won’t change, T.” Theo gave Liam a look. “You really want me to ask the pilot to make a turn over Las Vegas just so I can drag you into a chapel and marry you this weekend, huh?” “Maybe.” Liam said with a soft smile. “Mason would kill me but I would be willing to take the risk. Though maybe next weekend, I have class on Monday.”

"Why would Mason kill you? And I’m sure I will regret asking this question.”  “We made a deal when we were kids. I claimed I never wanted to get married since girls had cooties - don’t laugh I was six I didn’t know what bisexual meant -  but Mase had this whole fantasy of a wedding. He said since I don’t want to get married but he is pretty sure I will get married one day, he would get married first so I don’t have to be afraid of getting married. So, he has to marry first.” “Because you’re still afraid of marriage?” “No, you dork, because I promised him this. The older we got, the more Mason planned his ideal wedding and I won’t destroy this for him. Maybe it’s silly but he even has a game planned that only works when I’m not married. Don’t ask what kind of game, you will be scared for life.”  Theo smiled. “You’re really planning to go through with this, huh? Let him have his ideal wedding. You’re a true friend.”

Liam smiled softly. “He was always there for me. When things with my father got bad, I could stay at his house. After my parents divorced, his mom used to cook for me so mom could work and didn’t have to worry about her son not eating because I was not able to cook everything by myself. And when the other kids didn’t want to play with me because of my anger issues, he still stuck with me and never wanted to play with other kids. Mason is my brother, not my blood but he is my brother.” Theo pulled him into a soft hug. “You have an awesome best friend and an awesome brother in the same person, just like you are brother and best friend in one person. And dad to our Betas.”  Liam chuckled and leaned against Theo. 

“Real talk, since we already talked about our wedding, do you want to have children someday? Do you want to be a real dad?” The Alpha asked his first Beta and Theo fell silent.

“I...don’t think I would be a good father. But on the other hand, I also did think I wasn’t capable of love and you proved me wrong, so maybe? One day? Not now and not in the near future. But maybe one day, yeah. And I think you would be awesome as dad, that’s another reason.”

Liam smiled. “We have all the time in the world. Well, I have. You are older, with your twenty-two years, your time’s running up.” He joked and Theo gasped and then pushed him on the bed to jump him and start a vicious tickle fight. Liam squealed and cried hysterically while he tried to stop Theo from tickling him. It didn’t work and he squirmed on the bed until he suddenly got a hold on Theo’s wrist and managed to spin the two of them around so he could pin Theo to the bed. 

“What did I say about tickling the Alpha?” “But I like it.” Theo said with a bold grin and Liam huffed.  “I believe that without a doubt.”  Theo laughed and Liam kissed his cheek. “Come on, breakfast.“

They grabbed their food and then started eating. It tasted delicious and Liam was maybe a little bit in love with the toast and the eggs. Not as much a she was in love with Theo, though. “By the way, I think you would be an amazing dad.“ He said while he decapitated a hard-boiled egg. Theo looked actually surprised by this. “You think?“ He asked and Liam smiled.  “Yeah. I just need to see how you act with the kids in the pack and even my mom said so. You’re good with kids.“ “There is a difference between being goods with kids and being good with my own kid. Kids from strangers I can hand over after a while but my kid I have to take care of 24/7. I can’t fuck up. And I’m really not sure if I can do that.“ “I know you can do that and one day, not now or in the next few years, but one day we will have either a little boy or a little girl who loves to skate and wear their baseball caps backward and is one of the most sarcastic and observant little ones around.“

Liam ended and Theo looked at him with an open and raw impression. “You described me like I’m a good person.“ “You are a good person. And you deserve this life if you want it. But listen, even if you decide you don’t want to have kids, I’m not gonna leave you, okay? I love you forever, kids or not.“ Theo put his plate aside and grabbed Liam’s shirt to pull him into a heated kiss. “You are absolutely perfect and I love you!“ He muttered against Liam’s lips. “Thank you for loving me and believing in me.” “Anytime. You’re not making it very hard, to be honest.“ Liam muttered with a shrug. 

Liam wanted kids when he was older and he could truly see a little boy or a little gil looking up at Theo with adoration written all over their face and loving him with their soft tiny hearts, telling their friends how cool their dad was. And how Theo taught them to ride a bike or really how to skate. It was a nice vision of the future but he also stood with his word: If Theo decided he didn’t want to become a father, they would have no kids on their own and Liam would become the coolest uncle to Mason’s and Corey’s kids and all the other pack kids. 

“What are you thinking about?” Theo asked while he ate a piece of strawberry.  “How much I love you.” Liam replied with a smile. 

Theo smiled and leaned over to kiss Liam again and Liam kissed him back. He was truly lucky and it still felt like a miracle that he was with the man he had dreamed about for years. This year really turned out far better than he ever expected and he could not wait for Christmas to celebrate with the people he loved. 

Next thing will be: Christmas! I'm so excited and can't wait to write it. Wohoo!! Comments? Demands? Wishes? Anything? Hit me up!
