chapter 17: two truths and a lie

When he wraps his fingers around the katana, Stiles expects the same sense of right he felt when he picked up the branch. It doesn’t. Instead, his body is flooded with uncertainty – most likely because it terrifies him. His hand-to-eye coordination used to lack phenomenally. But that probably changed now as well. As he lifts the katana from the table, his attention shifts back to the corner next to the door where Satomi and Brett have been quietly discussing ever since they’ve entered a room downstairs – it probably was supposed to be used as a home gym, but the Yukimuras repurposed it – fifteen minutes ago. Neither of them looks truly furious but there’s a tang of irritation hanging in the air like a thin cloud on an otherwise bright summer’s day.

“Wanna know what they talk about?” Theo slides up next to him, voice inconspicuously quiet and close enough that their shoulders almost touch.

Stiles puts the katana back down. It catches the too bright light from the ceiling. Stiles frowns. It’s the type of weird lightning that gives him a headache. Not too bad, just enough to be irritating.

“No,” he replies eventually. It’s none of his business. Whatever it is they disagree about, he doesn’t have to know about it. He rolls his shoulders, glances over at Jordan who remains quiet in his own corner but his eyes are wary as they follow the chimeras movements.

The evolution of FBI Agent Stiles Stilinski

Theo: (is fine being single, is in no rush, wants to get settled as Alpha™, doesn’t like relationships that much anyway)

Theo: (sees Stiles)

Theo, internally: I never wanted to hold a hand SO BAD in my entire life, never I SWEAR

Corey: Sorry I’m late- hey, wasn’t Theo supposed to come tonight?

Mason: He did.

Mason: He stayed for about ten minutes before he said, “I want Stiles” and left.

I wished something like this had happened in canon. I like Theo and Liam's friendship, but it needed a better development, as did Theo's empathy and everything else about him, and this would be an amazing way to do that! Theo getting closer to what was left of his pack and through that develop his empathy, then eventually becoming friends with Liam and others, expanding his social circle and creating a better future for himself would have been an amazing story!

"Part two is missing. :/" // Damn it, Tumblr! What I had said was that maybe a reason why Theo stayed is because a part of him craved human connection, and the closest thing he had to that was with Liam. That bond grewn further during 6B, but I think just the fact Liam was around was enough for him to stay at least close to BH. That's how much I think he craved for an emotional bond. So even if he left, I think he would in BH's vicinity, and come back to fight the hunters, for Liam and himself.

Ah, ok. Well… I never saw that connection between Liam and Theo. I can totally see them being allies but that’s about it. What would’ve made sense for me is if Theo stayed for Corey and Hayden, tho. They were his pack, after all, and a storyline where Theo fought for them or made it up to them? Yes, 100%. Instead, the writers didn’t even give them a single scene together. Everything else? Nope, not good enough for me to have Theo stick around
