Greg had been ready to laugh aloud, but the look on Theo's face made him freeze, with surprise and regret. The last thing he expected was to actually be successful; Theo was like a cat on prowl usually, alert to every single movement and sound. Greg had noted it but not understood its motivation; he knew it had something to do with home. It had to; no one at school really messed with Theo or harassed him to that point. Greg wondered as he sat as still as he could, a wand aimed at him, what could have been distracting Theo quite so much. He immediately felt like utter shit. This guy was his ace in a the hole; the last thing he wanted to do was piss him off.
"Okay.....," Greg said, his words drawn out as he moved his hands up in a gesture of surrender, "I am officially an asshole. Fuck, Theo, usually I can't startle you for shit," he said, not waiting for Theo to lower his wand as he moved his hands down to the bottom of his shirt.
He pulled the damp cotton garment off over his head, and crumpled it up, to toss it over at his bed. He looked back at Theo's face, wondering if Theo was finally going to talk about what was bothering him. Greg didn't want to ask, again, out of respect but he knew something was bothering the other boy.
