Theo-

Danny seems really nervous as I follow him into his house. I guess I'm coming on a little strong, but I like him, and he's hot. So I follow him into the dark house, and he flips a light switch.

Family pictures on the walls show him and his family in all their glory. Skiing in the mountains, hiking, the boys playing hockey. Him and his Mom on a beach in the sun. I pause to look at a staged portrait of them all. Danny looks like his Dad, and his brother looks like their Mom.

I feel Danny up next to me, and I give him a smile. "You're cute when you're nervous," I say with a laugh.

Thankfully he returns my smile, "I've....uh....never done this before."

I pull off my jacket and set it on the couch. He watches my movements, I'm shirtless now, and then I take his hand. "We can go at your pace," I say quietly.

He leans in and kisses me. It's a good kiss.

When he breaks it, he lets out a breathy moan and then says, "I'm not a virgin....you're just the first guy I've wanted to do stuff with...., and I like it."

"Oh really.....like I said....it's your show. I clearly what something," I say with a smile.

He shakes his head and then picks me up and throws me over his shoulder. I can't stop the giggle that comes out of my mouth.

Danny smacks my butt as he carries me someplace. "You asked for it," he says and opens a door. "Welcome to my room." 

When he sets me down. I see a full-size bed with a red comforter. His school bag has exploded over his desk, and I notice the erasers I've won him hanging out on the window.

I'm about to point them out when he comes up behind me and kisses the back of my neck.

"God. I'm happy I had a crush on the right guy this time," I say as I turn around and kiss him back.

"Oh, you defiantly had a crush on the right guy," he says with a smile as I run my hands up his shirt. "Happy Birthday, Theo."

"Merry Christmas, Danny boy," I say back, and I pull him down onto his bed and help him pull his white shirt over his head.

"Fuck. I'm so so happy right now," he says, and I can tell he means it.

I just smile and say, "shut up and kiss me. We can talk afterward."

He laughs, and I pull off my pants with his help.

********
Danny's lying on his side, staring at me with a hint of a smile on his face. "How was it?" He finally asks.

I shift closer to him, "the best sex I've had in Oregon."

He makes a face, "wow, ok. In Oregon?"

I break and start laughing. "God, you're easy. That was probably the best sex I've had ever."

"Thank you," he says quietly. "My ego needed that." 

He's being pensive, which is not Danny's usual MO. "What's wrong? You're being really quiet."

He shakes his head, "sorry. I've just wanted this for months, and now it's happened, and I don't know what comes next. You know?"

"You mean the sex or with me?" I ask.

"Both....but mostly the second part. I don't wanna scare you off, but I like you, Theo," he says in a shy tone.

I can't help but laugh at him. "Danny....what part of my personality makes you think I would hang out with you if I DIDNT like you back."

He smiles and looks adorable as he bites his lip, "I guess that's true. You're picky about who you have around you."

"Right. So...if you want to do this again....or date and do this...I'm game," I say back.

He leans in and kisses me gently again. "Theodore Bennett, will you go out with me."

"Eww. Don't call me Theodore, but yes," I say with a laugh.

Danny shifts a bit. "I should get you home."

"No, it's ok. I told them I would crash here," I say.

"Oh, good. Then we can snuggle," says Danny, and he pulls me closer. "Sweet dreams Theo."

"Sweet dreams Danny," I whisper back.

His rhythmic breathing helps me fall asleep in just a few minutes. I've had a busy, busy night.

******
Danny

Thump. Thump.

I hear it, but I don't care.

Thump. Thump.

It's louder, but I know it's not Theo. I can feel him curled up next to me. He's breathing softly.

"Hem. Hem," says a voice I didn't expect. 

My eyes bolt open in shock, and I feel Theo shift next to me.

I lift my head up and see Dad in my doorway.

"Fuck...." Whispers Theo as he pulls the blanket over him. He's starting to panic, and I know it's because of his Dad.

Thankfully my Dad isn't like that. Instead, he speaks up to calm him down. "Don't worry. I knew this would happen."

I stretch and smile at him. "Mornin' Pops."

He shakes his head, "Scott's on his way home, and Theo, your uncle's been calling." He hands him his phone. "I answered it caused you had like 20 missed calls from him."

I watch Theo roll his eyes. "I told him I was staying here."

"He was worried cause it's almost 11, and he didn't hear from you," says Dad with a smile.

"Oh snap," says Theo real fast. Then he looks to Dad and then me. "Umm, could you give me a ride home?"

I nod my head and smile at Dad, "I think that can be arranged. We'll head out in a few."

"Ok. When you tell Scott let us know," says Dad, and he closes the door.

Theo turns to me, and weirdly he looks scared, "what are you telling Scott?"

I shake my head, "just about me....liking guys. I told my parents, and they were happy....my brother's not always the nicest guy to me."

Theo leans in and kisses me lightly, "well, I hope it goes well." 

"Me too," I say as I climb out of bed, and we pull on our pants. "Here. You can borrow my shirt, so you don't wear nacho cheese again." He smiles when he sees it's my freshman football shirt and kisses me again.

"Let's go," I say and smack his butt again. He seems to like it, but I'll still be gentle.

Before we leave, Mom gives Theo a hug, and Dad gives him a handshake, about as affectionate as he gets with new people.

Theo and I make small talk on the drive, kind of like we usually would, until we get to his house.

When we pull up, his eyes go wide like he remembers something, but it's not a secret for long. "Oh hey....so I don't know what you want this to be, really, but Bryce knows I like you." 

I smile and shake my head, "I told you last night. I want to date you, Theo. Plus.....Bryce knows I like you too, so he's probably pieced this all together."

"Oh, shit.....ok. I hope he's not mad," says Theo with a nervous glance to the house.

"Nah," I say and take his hand. "He's Team Dano...Danny and Theo....no?"

"No. But we can work on it," says Theo with a grin. "Merry Christmas, Danny. I'll see you after."

"Happy Birthday, Little T," I say back and kiss him. Then, when we break apart, I reach into my back seat and hand him a present. "I got you something. I think you'll love it, but wait for your real birthday, ok."

He nods slightly and looks really happy. "Thank you."

"Have fun and text me all day," I say as he gets out o the car.

He looks over his shoulder as he hit the front door, and I can't help but smile back at him.

He's a great guy...I'm excited about what's coming.

********
I wanna kill him.

That stupid little wolf. He actually got my Teddy.

I'm going to kill him, but for now, I'm going to take my rage out on someone else.

I can smell the humans off in the distance, and I can hear them too. Two girls.....and their parents....easy prey.

Easy targets.

Get the wolves up in arms and take my rage out on someone.....until I can take out that stupid jock.

Teddy is mine.
