THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE VIEWS! I hope you guys enjoy Malia and Theo's ride. Miss teen wolf so much!!! but anyway, Happy reading!

Malia had woken up to the aroma of coffee in the air. She was bundled up in the sheets around her alone with no one else beside her. How did she get here? Where was she? A bunch of questions arose at what she was doing in an unfamiliar bed along with a luxurious room.

"You're finally up?" A deep familiar voice answered, "Scott and Kira are supposed to visit us soon and you still aren't dressed," The voice continued laughing at the end of its sentence.

Into the bedroom appeared Theo dressed with only pajama bottoms while holding two coffee mugs. His infamous smirk was on his face making him look like classic Theo.

Malia glanced at her surroundings trying to resurface any memories that she had had in the room, but none came. All that she was seeing was just a figment of her imagination. Or so she thought.

"Scott and Kira?" Malia asked slowly getting out of bed to take a mug from Theo.

"Yeah, you said last night that you were excited to see them, and Stiles too." Malia narrowed her eyes at his statement trying to remember when she had said that. Her mind kept roaming around in circles, desperately grasping at some memory that she had with Theo. Malia's eyes went to the bed and then towards the bedroom.

"Do we share a room?" Theo looked at her confused.

"Of course we do. You moved out from your dad's house to stay with me. Are you okay?" The smirk faded from his features replaced with concern.

He came closer, pressing a hand against her forehead. "Did you hit your head?" If only reality Theo was this caring, maybe I wouldn't hate his guts, she thought.

She pushed him away. "I'm fine. So when did we start dating?"

"Um, we aren't. I'm kinda just your body guard if something goes wrong."

"And we share a bed? Don't couples do that?"

"Yeah. But you volunteered to sleep with me because you get nightmares sleeping alone," Theo pointed out.

"I..." Malia stumbled on her sentence searching around the room before her eyes landed on his green ones.

"So you and me," She pointed between her and Theo, "are roomates?"

"Of sorts," He smirked, "You like to call it fringe—"

Suddenly the world shifted and Malia was back in Precal class. She stared around at the students watching the teacher give out the lesson.

Had she been dreaming?

"You okay?" Lydia reached over, concern etched in her eyes. She had been watching Malia's mind wonder and drift away from the lesson. The teacher had gone on with her lesson ignoring Malia's odd behavior seeing as it was not of her concern. Lydia knew there was something wrong with Malia. She had been doing this for two weeks. The not paying attention in class was nothing new, but the constant spacing out was. Even if Malia was not great in math, she still tried to pay attention as best she could. But now, she grew suspicious.

Why was this happening now?

"I'm fine, Lydia. I didn't get much sleep is all." She rubbed her eyes to emphasize her point. Lydia was still wary about the whole situation, but she let it go for the fact that it was PreCal class and she didn't want to cause a scene.... Again.

Theo sat at AP Biology focusing attentively on the lesson. His mind went back to her. The girl that had this fire of energy, yet she was beautiful in every way.

"You know anything about Malia Hale?" The Desert Wolf had asked him, her face perfectly poised as if knowing the answer.

"What's in it for me?"

"There are rumors that she's alive. And Deaton here," She gestured towards Scott's boss whose body on a chair tied by rope. His eyes were pleading to Theo to let him go. But at the time Theo had no interest or compassion to let innocent people survive. Hell, he even tried to get Malia out of his head so he could be the success the Dread Doctors wanted.

"You seem to be up for negotiation," Theo observed. He glanced between Deaton and the Desert Wolf. "if It's Malia you want, you can have, but first I want those," His eyes went to the bottle of talons in her hand. He wanted power. And since Deucalion had told him about the talons, he intended to gain as much as possible.

"Lead her to me,"

Theo nodded and walked away.

Looking at that now, Theo knew that it was a bad idea. He should've known Deucalion was working with Scott. He should've known to stay at the library to make sure Scott was dead. There were so many flaws in his plans that it didn't seem that he needed to devise anymore.

But as class was about to start, Scott entered the room sitting in the front next to Kira. The two were deep in conversation.

Well, if I want to prove to Malia that I've changed, I might as well give this a shot. Theo thought.

After class, Theo was walking around campus, until he came face to face with Stiles.

"It's been a while," Theo started falling into step with him.

"Yeah Theo, I know. And I'm just so glad you picked me to start a conversation with," He rolled his eyes and continued walking a little faster.

Things hadn't changed between the two of them. Ever since Theo had tried to break up his relationship with Malia and Scott, bringing back the relationship had been harder than it had before. And yet Theo had the stabbing guilt within himself that he was purely responsible for all the mayhem.

"Stiles, you know who you remind me of?"

"Not this again. It's your sister, I know. You told me this already and I know that I don't trust you at all,"

"Funny. I didn't know you paid any attention to what I've said." Theo's smirk was ever present.

Suddenly, Stiles's expression changed from annoyance to confusion.

"You smell just like her," Stiles stopped walking.

"Like who?"

"Like Malia. It's like she's all over you or something," Theo looked away feeling guilty. He was responsible for breaking up their previous relationship and here he was again coming in between them.

"She and I have talked,"

"Oh, and that makes me feel a lot better." Stiles said sarcastically. His arms were waving everywhere.

"What do you care anyway? You like Lydia don't you?"

"Yeah but you don't get it Theo. I don't know how many girls you've dated, but Malia had her first kiss with me. She had her first experience as a human with me. And now that you're in the picture as a werecoyote—hybrid—chimera.. Whatever, it's hard for me to watch her with someone else,"

"But I mean I get it," he continued, "You're both werecoyotes and she's starting to shirt more often. Scott told me you two hav a bond. And that's great and all. But a bond through two supernaturals isn't great if the two don't get along."

Theo considered his words as they continued walking on the Lacrosse field. His mind went back to her even if he didn't want it to.

"I'm not worried though," Stiles taunted, "She'd never get with you because you manipulated her and almost killed her,"

"Take that back," Theo growled pushing Stiles forcefully on the chest.

"Can't take back the truth, Theo, you gotta face it sooner or later," Theo completely lost it and tackled Stiles to the ground, Stiles shot back slamming Theo on the ground causing more force to go to his head. The two continued to grapple on the field, with no one watching.

"Are you just jealous, Stiles?" Theo taunted back. "Maybe she might like me because I have something that you never will have? I have a connection to her that you don't. And I can offer her things that you can't."

"But you're a lying manipulative bastard. You still are. See? I can see it in your eyes," Theo growled and they continued fighting each other. The anger between them grew stronger with each insult.

Theo's mind was in overdrive. There was nothing to justify what Stiles was assuming he would do. Stiles always thought the worst of him, what's to say he would think differently now?

There probably wasn't a way to—

"Stop!" Stiles cried out grunting, "If you care about Malia you'll stop asshole!"

Theo's fist that came from the air was supposed to hit Stiles in the face until he heard another growl. Much more forceful than his own.

"What are you doing?" A voice said.

And when he looked up, he saw Malia Tate with her teeth out snarling at him.
