As weird as it sounds, Liam was glad that Theo’s past was the way it was. Yes, it was cruel and painful, but the boy knew that the chimera wouldn’t be the person he was today without it. He never said it out loud, knowing that Theo could take it the wrong way. And, if you asked Liam, the coywolf deserved all the nice things in the world. The older man always gave the werewolf anything he wanted, even if the wolf didn’t mention it. Sometimes, it was like Theo would be reading the teen’s mind, but it was simply the fact that the chimera knew him so well. Which made Liam only crazier about the coywolf than he already was. However, like I already mentioned, the teenager thought that Theo deserved the nicest things. Which was why he dragged Mason with him to the market and stood in the Valentine’s Day alley, with all the overly sweet and colorful chocolates. Liam knew from Scott that when the chimera was a kid, he had a sweet tooth. So, the werewolf decided to buy some chocolate for Theo.
Originally, it was supposed to be one of the chocolates Scott mentioned to the Beta, but the boy ended up standing in the alley, staring at fancy-looking chocolates. He couldn’t decide which one to take — the pink one? No, Theo would kill him. The marshmallows in chocolate? Nah, too sweet. Also, many chocolates in this alley were pink. Theo hated pink. No wonder, given the coywolf’s broody personality. However, Liam guessed that the chimera would have to survive the pink.
“Liam, are we gonna stand in this alley forever?” Mason asked, smirking. He knew that his friend wanted Theo to have nice things, but the human loved teasing Liam.
“I want him to like it,” the Beta could feel his neck heating up. “And everything is pink. He hates pink.”
“It’s the Valentine’s Day alley. Everything is pink here,” the teen chuckled.
“What happened to red? Romance, passion… Theo loves red!” the blonde exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air. “Don’t tell him I said that,” he added quickly. “He will kill me if you do. Doesn’t fit his broody personality or whatever.” Mason laughed lightly.
“I won’t tell. I promise,” the human said with mock seriousness in his voice. “Red romance has died,” he added. “Unless you go to the sex shop down the street, you won’t get the red romance that you’re looking for,” the boy laughed.
“Mason!” Liam blushed furiously. Wait… Maybe he could go…?
“You’re thinking about it, huh?” Mason smirked, knowing his best friend inside and out.
“Shut up,” the wolf growled, trying to hide his embarrassment. “I’m taking these,” he said, grabbing the pink chocolate hearts. “And these,” he grabbed pink-colored white chocolate. “And these,” he took the heart-shaped marshmallows. “He’ll love it,” Liam smiled to himself, throwing the sweets to the cart. There was one more thing that caught the wolf’s eye. I’m yours. No refunds Valentine’s Day card.
“Are you sure that we’re talking about the same Theo Raeken?” Mason raised his eyebrows. He knew that the coywolf was different when they were alone, but was it that much? How much of himself was Theo hiding?
“He’s different with me,” Liam’s eyes sparkled. The Beta smiled wider, remembering all the mornings when Theo would make him breakfast in bed, or the times when he would give the boy white roses because of their meaning.
“I bet,” the human said softly. His friend had been in two relationships before Theo, but this was most definitely the happiest that Mason had seen him.
“I think that I love him,” the teenager whispered, smiling. He grabbed the card and put it in the cart. “Like… I wanna spend the rest of my life with him,” he said louder. The human smiled.
“Yeah?” Liam’s answer was a nod. He had never thought about it before. Yes, the Beta knew that he loved Theo, but the wolf never looked that far in the future. This was the first time he had done it. The boy was eighteen, but he already knew — he would marry the coywolf one day.
Mason smiled, following his best friend to the register. They paid for the things and left the market. The boys got into the human’s car and drove to the Hewitt household, so that Liam could think of how to smuggle those things in without Theo noticing. They weren’t big per se, but they were pink. Extremely pink. The coywolf would notice the pink immediately, especially since none of them owned anything pink. Except those handcuffs… Anyway… Theo would notice. He noticed everything.
The Beta managed to smuggle the gifts into a box that Mason gave him. Thankfully, all that the teen got from the coywolf was a weird look. The are you crazy look. And all that Liam did in return was smile adorably at his boyfriend.
Liam chuckled when Theo dragged him out to run in the Preserve. With Liam’s recent development and the discovery of the Beta being able to fully transform, the two wolves went on a run together. Every Saturday, or Sunday, the pair would run together. Today was no different. Saturday, February the 14th. Valentine’s Day. The Beta loved how Theo had been affectionate towards him since that morning. He knew that the chimera was like that because of Valentine's Day, but wouldn’t admit it. Besides, it wasn’t like Liam was going to complain. The coywolf was appreciating his partner daily, but today was extra on feelings. And the Beta loved it.
Once they got to the woods, the two of them started to take off their clothes, so that they wouldn’t have ripped them apart while shifting. The werewolf bit his lip, staring at his boyfriend’s naked chest. Defined V-line, the pecs… Liam could drool over him forever and one day longer.
“Are you done staring?” Theo smirked, taking his pants off.
“You’re saying that as if you won’t be fucking me with your eyes,” the wolf smiled, licking his lips. The chimera huffed a laugh and came up to Liam once all his clothes were off.
“Your turn, darling,” he smirked. The Beta could feel the coywolf’s breath on his cheek. The older man was staring into the wolf’s eyes, and Liam wasn’t the one who backed out from a challenge. The younger teenager’s eyes never left Theo’s as he took off his shirt. The wolf noticed how, with each button, the hunger, the desire, was bigger in the chimera’s irises. The Beta loved it. Once he was done with his shirt, he took off his pants and boxers in one smooth move. That was when the older man pulled Liam into a hungry kiss. The wolf smiled into it, putting his hands on Theo’s chest.
“Not now. Now, we run,” the Beta said, pulling away. “We can continue it later,” he added before the coywolf could complain. Liam pecked the chimera’s lips and shifted. Seconds later, there was a grey-ish wolf in front of Theo. The Beta waggled his tail, only to bite the chimera’s leg playfully.
“Okay, okay,” the coywolf chuckled and shifted as well. The black wolf licked the slightly smaller creature, rubbing their heads together. After a moment of affection, the two wolves started to run. They chased each other through the woods, not caring for the rest of the world. That moment was just about them, relaxing on their run.
They ran until they were out of breath. The two wolves panted, content. Theo whined, wrapping his head around Liam’s back, the boy leaning into the gesture. The Beta hummed, allowing the coywolf to lick him, loving the attention that he got from the older man. Fuck, he loved Theo so much.
Once they rested, the wolves headed back to where they left their clothes. They didn’t run this time — the two boys walked peacefully, nipping at each other and waggling their tails. Liam loved how soft Theo was around him. The Beta felt honored to have that kind of trust, knowing that the coywolf keeps to himself, not showing his real face. To the Beta, Theo Raeken was an open book, and vice versa. They knew each other better than anyone else.
They got back to their clothes not even twenty minutes later. Liam changed back, turning his back on the black wolf. He bent over and grabbed his boxers — that was when he felt familiar hands around his waist, and a familiar hard dick pressed between his cheeks. The Beta leaned into the touch, chuckling, “You’re obsessed with me,” he joked, moving his hips and causing Theo to moan in the process.
“I am. And you are with me,” the coywolf said lowly into his ear, licking it.
“I’m not the one trying to fuck you in the middle of the woods,” Liam giggled. The chimera could listen to it forever.
“Touché,” the older man smiled against the werewolf’s ear.
“Get dressed. We’ll finish it later,” the boy laughed softly. Theo groaned, but listened to the younger teen, both of them getting dressed.
They walked home, side by side, Liam already excited to give Theo his gifts.
“Okay, what got you so excited?” The coywolf asked once they got home. Don’t get him wrong, Theo loved his overgrown puppy of a boyfriend, and he knew that a simple smile from a stranger could get the boy excited, but this was a different level of enthusiasm. As much as the older man didn’t mind it, he wanted to know what his little Beta was happy about.
“You’ll see in a second, baby,” Liam giggled and pecked the chimera’s lips. “I think you’ll like it,” he smiled, leading Theo to their bedroom. Technically, Liam’s, but the coywolf had spent most nights in Liam’s their bed, the two boys tangled together and waking up next to each other.
Once they got to the room, the younger boy sat Theo down on the bed, “Tell me, or you’ll explode from the excitement,” the chimera chuckled.
“Close your eyes, baby,” Liam said. The coywolf rolled his eyes playfully and did as the boy asked. The wolf took out the gifts from the box, putting the card on his desk. “Okay, you can open,” he giggled again, sitting in the older man’s lap, putting the sweets next to them.
“Hi, there, darling,” Theo said softly, looking at the bunch of sweets next to them. “What is that?”
“Sweets. For you,” the younger teen said excitedly. The coywolf looked at the candy again and then at Liam. “Before you comment on the pink… It was Valentine’s Day alley, everything was pink and—“ Theo cut him off with a kiss.
“Thank you, darling,” the chimera whispered. “What brought this on?”
“You deserve nice things… Like, everything that’s good in this world,” the Beta said quickly. “You always give me everything, so I thought that… That I could also give you something. Even if it’s small like this and—“ the coywolf caught him off again, connecting their lips in a heated kiss. Liam made Theo feel things. He made the chimera soft, but the older man wasn’t one to complain. The Beta was the only person that Theo wanted to be soft for.
“Thank you, love. Thank you,” Theo kissed the boy’s lips with each word.
“You like it?” He smiled, looking into the chimera’s eyes.
“I love it,” the coywolf said, holding Liam by his hips.
“Oh! There’s one more, wait,” the teen said, getting up and picking up the card. “Here,” the boy chuckled. Theo frowned and took the card.
“I’m yours. No refunds,” he read aloud, his voice breaking down. “Liam…” the chimera looked at his partner with teary eyes. The shorter wolf caught Theo’s face in his palms, kissing the chimera’s nose.
“I love you, baby. Happy Valentine’s Day,” the boy whispered, pecking the older man’s lips.
“You, uh… Do you remember the talk we had? That I’d like to…” Theo said. Liam nodded eagerly, knowing what he meant. The coywolf mentioned recently that he would want to bottom one day. The teen agreed, missing the feeling of being inside of someone. That was a few months ago, but the werewolf waited patiently for the older man to be ready. “I think that I’m ready… Not for the whole thing, though. Not yet,” he said, trying to escape Liam’s gaze.
“Nuh uh, baby,” the Beta murmured, forcing the coywolf to look at him. “Look at me. Don’t run. I need to know that you are ready,” the younger teen whispered, licking Theo’s bottom lip.
“I am,” the chimera said with confidence in his voice, looking at the shorter wolf. Liam smiled, kissing the chimera softly. The Beta poured all his feelings for Theo into that kiss. Passion, softness, some hunger… But he still kept it soft. The younger boy needed Theo to know that he could trust the wolf with this.
The two boys fell on the bed when Liam pushed the older man onto the bed, his legs on each side of Theo’s hips. The werewolf undressed the chimera, only to take off his own clothes as well. He kissed his way down the coywolf’s chest, licking and biting. By the time he got to Theo’s hips, the older man was covered in bites and hickies that would heal before they would be done.
“Ready?” Liam went back all the way up to the coywolf’s face, kissing his lips softly.
“Mhm,” the chimera hummed, chasing after the younger boy’s lips. The Beta smiled, touching the older man’s lips. Theo smiled, taking the fingers into his mouth. Liam gasped, watching the werecoyote sucking them.
“Fuck, baby,” the teen groaned, biting his lip. After a while, the chimera let Liam’s fingers out. They were wet from spit, just like Theo wanted them to be.
“Now you don’t need to leave me hanging to get lube,” he chuckled deeply.
“I guess not. Though—“
“Darling, I will be fine. You wouldn’t hurt me, I know that,” the older man said, and the boy nodded. The wolf went down again, kissing the chimera’s hip, before making his way to the coywolf’s hole with his fingers. He touched the taller boy’s rim, just to see Theo’s reaction. The chimera moaned, causing Liam to smile.
“This might hurt a little,” the Beta said softly, pressing the tip of his finger in. The coywolf hissed in pain, causing Liam to stop his movements.
“Keep going, darling,” Theo said softly. “It doesn’t hurt that much.”
“But—“
“Darling, it will pass. Keep goi— fuck!” He moaned as the Beta did what Theo asked of him. The wolf pushed in further, closely watching expressions on the chimera’s face. The pleasure, pushing out the pain. The relaxed shoulders, letting Liam know that he trusted him.
“You look so good like that, you know that?” The werewolf kissed the older man’s hip. “And it’s just one finger… Imagine that it’s more… That it’s my cock. Fucking you, slowly, giving you the attention you need… The attention that you deserve,” Liam whispered into Theo’s skin, adding a second finger. The chimera moaned loudly, his toes curling.
“Thank you,” Theo gasped out once they laid in bed after their orgasms. It turns out that one can cum just from watching their partner orgasm. Liam tested that himself.
“Always. As long as you’re comfortable, we can do it whenever you want to, baby,” he laid his head on Theo’s chest.
“I love you, darling.”
“I love you, too, baby.”
If, in the morning, Liam made a coca with heart-shaped marshmallows for Theo, it stayed between the two of them.
