Liam's POV

I woke up first, before anyone else and stepped out of the tent. It was still really early. I looked behind me to admire the beautiful sunrise. I sat down and just stared at the beauty before me.

I always liked sunrises because it shows you that it's a new day with new adventures and possibilities. Just then I heard someone stirring around in the tent.

Theo walked out onto the campsite and sat down besides me, also admiring the view. Except maybe a different view.

"Stop staring."

"What?" He says, still staring.

"Raken!"  I yelled.

"I'm sorry! Just admiring the view." He smirked.

I rolled my eyes and continued to stare up at the sky. It's so beautiful and it makes me believe in hope again. Just a little bit. "So why do you watch the sunrises?" Theo softly asks.

"I don't know, I mean it's nice I guess." I shrugged it off. "Okay pretty boy, stop trying to hide the fact that there's a part of you that isn't swamped with masculinity just admit that." Theo sternly tells me.

"Wow Theo Raeken thinks I'm pretty? Oh my god dreams do come true!" I fake fan girl for a few more seconds.

"Well yeah, I think you're beautiful." He turns to face me.

The sun is reaching its peak as the warmth embraces me. I turn my head towards Theo and just admired him. I really thought about this. If I go through with this then there's no going back. Everyone will know.

"No one would ever find me beautiful. I'm such a mess and I'm a damaged high school kid with anger issues." I admit. I can't make myself a burden on someone, not again.

"Liam Dunbar don't you ever think you aren't beautiful because you are so damn beautiful, inside and out. I guess you're so damaged I see a little bit of myself in your eyes." Theo slowly leaned in towards me. He pushed a piece of hair out of my face.

I leaned in a little to meet his gaze. Theo lightly presses his lips against mine, just enough to give me a taste right before pulling away. This made me anxious and tempted. Theo smirked and looked at me.

I flashed my golden eyes at him and growled before grabbing the nape of his neck and pulling him into me. I crash my lips onto his and feel the warm embrace. I've never felt more alive as he slipped his tongue into my mouth.

It's like everything I've ever pictured. I pull away and look into Theo's eyes. "Theo I-." Before I could finish I heard Stiles and Lydia come out of there tent. I grabbed Theo's hand and brought him back into our tent.

I zipped up the tent and looked at Theo. He smiled and went in to kiss me again. I kissed back shortly before pulling away. "Theo no!" He looked worried. "I'm so sorry Li, if this isn't what you want I ca-." I cut him off my laughing. "No you dork! The kiss I like, I really like it. We just need to figure out what this is." I grabbed his hand.

Theo laid down on the bed, pulling me with him. I cuddled into his side just breathing in his scent. "Liam I like you a lot. The way you make me feel is insane. I never knew I was capable of feeling these things, well until I met you. I would risk my life repeatedly if it means you're safe. It's you before me always and forever. So what I'm trying to say, will you be my boyfriend?" Theo finishes his well thought out speech.

My eyes were suddenly tearing up. Theo never does relationships, so this was all new to me. "Theo, nothing would make me happier. But I have to know, are you sure about this? The infamous Theo Raeken doesn't do relationships so I'm scared I won't be enough one day." The tent reeked of my worry and Theo was sure to smell it.

"Liam I like you! You will always be enough." Theo kisses me again. "So we're boyfriends?" Theo teases. "Shut up, yes boyfriend." I tease back. Theo and I just continued to lay together for a little while.

"There's a few more things..." Theo started. I got worried again. "I think we should wait to tell the pack, just to see how things go for now." That wasn't so bad. "Alright.. I guess we can wait a little while." I shrugged.

I closed my eyes and continued to lay with Theo. "Liam are you gay?" Theo suddenly asks after 5 minutes of silence. I sat up out of frustration. I didn't want to face this question but I guess it's time. "I mean yes I'm with you and I really like it but I also dated Hayden so maybe bi?" I admitted. I was nervous for some reason.

Theo and I talked it through and he comforted me when I was scared of everyone judging me. He held my hand and helped shake the bad thoughts away.

After multiple little naps and long talks with my new boyfriend we saw that it was already noon. We got out of the tent and saw everyone sitting eating lunch. "Morning sleepyheads." We smiled and sat down, noticeably away from each other.

"Explore day bitches!" Stiles whipped out the sassy and demanding tone. "Alright I'm down!" Scott agreed. We all decided to get dressed and take a hike down to the waterfall to go swimming.

"I have to change now so.." I shyly whispered. Theo laughed. "Baby, we are dating now. Calm down." Theo huskily said. I shake it off and change fast. The wolf whistles from Theo didn't help...at all.

I exited the tent to be greeted by Mason and Corey. "Woah woah woah changing in the same tent?" They snickered. Our eyes go wide. "No that's not what it looks like no we-." They stared laughing. "Chill we're joking." They laughed. We looked at each other and laughed shakily.

Later on, we were on the trail almost at the waterfall. I was getting a little tired but was looking forward to the waterfall! "Hop on!" Theo offered me a piggy back ride. I laughed and hopped on as he ran up the hill. I'm pretty sure I heard Scott and Malia whisper about something but I was to busy laughing with my new (secret) boyfriend.

"Guys the waterfall!" Lydia yelled. We all gasped and ran to the edge. We took off the clothes we put over our swimsuits and got ready to jump in.

I was really nervous. So once everyone has already gotten down there it was just Theo and I. "Come on baby it'll be okay." He whispered in my ear. Damn those nicknames will be the death of me.

"Can we go together?"

"Of course love, you and I together always."

I grabbed Theo's hand and we jumped together. I screamed until my lungs hurt until I was engulfed in the water. We surfaced and I immediately started coughing from the water in my lungs.

I cheered out loudly thrilled from the jump. Theo laughed at my excitement. I swam forward and leaned into his arms and kissed the life out of him. We were smiling in the kiss. I was soaking in pure bliss.

Malia coughed to get our attention. "Have something you need to tell us?"
