"No, I remember the place. You really want to go back there after what happened?"
Theo unlocks the truck doors and hops out.
"Let's go eat first, then we'll figure it out."
"Yeah Sinema. Wait you have never heard of Sinema Theo? It's this gay club where everyone goes to chill. By the way would you be opposed to sharing a snake with this wolf?" Smirks.
The wolf looks at Theo who pouts as he turns the engine off, once we're parked. Huffing, he takes his buckle off. Moving the seatbelt upwards; "i'm in the mood to go to Sinema after we eat..."
Theo frowns. Guess Liam did want to talk about it after all. He pulls into the lot and parks, turning the engine off.
"Alright, so you got your heart broken. And you came out at the same time. Both those things are survivable, right? You're here, your alive. You'll move on."
Que the werewolf not talking but letting out little whimpers and soft tears down his eyes. He doesn’t know how to express himself but lets his emotions take over. Obviously his anger issues are taking over again.
“Hikari told me she doesn’t want a partner at this—
"You got dumped? Damn, that's rough."
He hopes Liam doesn't want like... relationship advice. That would be like Theo trying to explain how to land on the moon. He had no clue at all. Luckily the guy didn't seem interested in talking about it.
"Here. Burger joint, dead ahead."
“Japan was alright. I love their culture but after what happened with Hikari I don’t wanna talk about things. Me and her were together. We ended things. Boy that burger and fries sound good right about now.”
Theo climbs into the truck and starts it.
"Burger and fries, okay."
Easy enough. He pulls out of the parking lot and heads away from the high school.
"So what was Japan like? I've never been there before."
“I’m honestly not really in the mood to eat anything, Theo. But I could try. A burger and fries sounds good.” Liam sighs walking to the passenger’s side of the truck and hops in.
Liam does love the chimera’s company.
"Riiight."
Theo can tell something is up with Liam. But he doesn't bother asking about it, offering another shrug and a nod in the general direction of where his truck is parked.
"Over there. What do you feel like eating?"
Liam shakes his head and groans. “Uh, no not exactly. I really haven’t eaten much in days. I’m fine Theo.”
Liam doesn’t wanna admit he ended things with Hikari in Japan. Hence why he’s back home with Theo at this moment. “Lead the way to the truck, handsome!”
“Oh, oohhh! That stuff. Okay, got it now. Anyways where you headed now Theo? Would you mind some company?”
Liam stands up and brushes some of the dirt and grass off of his shorts. “Say you still got that great Truck?”
Theo stares at that face. Man, Liam must be pretty down.
"It's... I just sold him something, that's all. You know, the kind of thing I wouldn't want the Sheriff noticing."
“My parents? Oh yeah, my dad is still at Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital with Scott’s mom, Melissa. Come on tell me Theo. I wanna know what that is you got. I won’t tell.” Looks up looking depressed.
"You were in Japan? Damn, that's half a world away."
Theo shrugs and looks around. No cops in sight.
"It's nothing, just a buddy of mine. Your parents still live here? You staying with them?"
“No I am not visiting, I am here to stay full time again. Move back home. To Beacon Hills. Japan was okay and all, not for me. Did I just see you get money from someone?”
Theo pushes his hands into his pockets. Fingers curling around the cash he'd just received.
"Yeah, been years, hasn't it. You back in town visiting or something?"
The wolf touches some grass watching the Lacrosse players on their game. He misses it sometimes. But not enough to get up and join them. Liam stares then hears a familiar face. Looking up at his left he see the face; Theo Raeken. In the flesh. Standing right there. —
Normally Theo didn't frequent his former high school — too many weird memories and too many snitches with free time on their hands — but tonight he had a deal that needed to get done.
Once money was exchanged and product delivered, he makes his way to the gate.

The young beta returns home to Beacon Hills from Japan. He ended things on an okay note with his ex. But he's still beaten up about things. Walking onto the Lacrosse field where his old school used to be. He sighs sitting down and watches the game.
