"No." Theo said the instant Liam held up the cap.

"Dude-" Liam started.

"No."

"But-" Liam tried.

"No."

"It has your name." Liam spun it round to show the 'Theodork' scrawled on the other side.

"No." Theo said again.

"You said you wanted a friendship bracelet, well here!" Liam tried to toss the hat into Theo's arms only for Theo to step out of the way. It landed a few feet away in the center of the street. Liam blinked at the hat before turning back to Theo in horror. "Dude-"

"I know you're terrible at Biology but I thought you'd at least know the difference between an arm and a head."

"Just wear the damn hat."

"I'm never wearing the hat." Theo said seriously

"Excuse me." the two blinked as an old woman teetered over, Theodork mickey hat clutched in a wrinkled old hand. "I think you dropped this, dear." She said, holding it out to Liam.

"Oh it's his." Liam said softly, nodding to Theo who shot him a glare over the woman's hair.

"Interesting name." She hummed, plopping it down into Theo's hands and creaking away like her hips would snap at any moment. Liam wondered how she hoped to go on any rides.

"I'm not wearing it." Theo said drawing Liam's attention once again by shoving the hat back into Liam's arms.

"You're wearing it." Liam retorted, shoving the hat onto Theo's head. The glare Theo threw at him would probably have more effect if it weren't for the lopsided mouse ears protruding from the hat. "It's a gift, it's rude not to accept gifts."

"What makes you think I have anything against being rude?" Theo asked, moving to tug the hat off, Liam slapped his hands away.

"It suits you." He said.

"You know what would suit you?" Theo said, not bothering to try and take the hat off again. "A broken nose, or maybe four, to make up for-"

Theo broke off with a strangled sound as his eyes went wide as they skittered over Liam's shoulder. He followed his gaze, turning slowly only to let out a sudden bark of laugh when he was met with the sight of Darth Vader, cloak billowing in the wind, a toddler in Jedi gear stood next to him, grinning brightly at a camera. He turned back to Theo slowly, grinning as Theo blinked, awestruck. "So yeah." Liam said, inching a hand up to straighten out Theo's Mickey ears. Theo didn't even try to stop him. "I didn't know if you knew but the whole...so shocked you've actually stopped being a dick for five seconds answers it for me." He was fairly sure Theo had stopped breathing, his eyes tracking Darth Vader like a hawk making no attempt to argue about the dick comment. It was far less fun insulting Theo when he wasn't capable of arguing back. "Disney bought star wars a few years back-"

"What?" Theo asked, voice hilariously high pitched. Liam sucked his lips in to try and stop the ridiculous smile breaking across his face.

"There's like...A whole bunch of star wars crap here now. There's a few Star Wars shows I think we should go too I just want to catch the Indiana Jones show as well but otherwise this is totally your day to nerd out about star wars, and my day for taking some blackmail pho-" Liam yelped as Theo grabbed him by the shoulder yanking him into a bone-crushing hug. Liam barely had enough time to flail, arm waving either side of Theo like lost squids before Theo was moving away leaving Liam with an actual ache in his sides from how tight Theo had hugged him.

He didn't mind, attention solely on Theo, probably looking at him the same way he was back to looking at Vader, his stomach fluttering as the butterflies came back full force. Liam wondered if he spent an unhealthy amount of time staring at the side of Theo's face. He pulled his eyes back to Vader in time to see the Jedi toddler puttering back over to his mother.

"Come on." Liam decided, hand clamping around Theo's wrist and dragging him forwards. "Hey excuse me!" Liam called, jogging to the mother. "could you take a photo of us?"

"Oh... sure." She said, taking the phone Liam thrusted in her face. Liam grinned, hauling Theo over to Vader.

"Hi." Theo said, complete with a stilted wave and tentative grin that made Liam's stomach twist and a smile split across his face so big that it hurt.

"Can we have a photo?" He asked. Vader nodded, breath rattling. Liam shoved Theo until he was standing next to Darth Vader, laughing as he Theo continued to stare at Vader with love-struck eyes. He sidled up next to Theo, tugging his wrist to draw his attention. "Smile Dorko." Theo did, eyes crinkling as he smiled, first at Liam and then turned to where the mother was. Liam followed his lead, sticking a thumbs up in a truly embarrassing fashion.

The mother snapped a photo and gave the phone back, Darth Vader got pulled away for another photo op with a kid dressed as a stormtrooper.

"Thank you!" Theo yelped after him.

"So, I'm just saying...I gave you Darth Vader. I'm pretty sure you should wear the stupid hat." Liam mused, Theo's eyes slowly drew away from Vader's retreating back to meet Liam's gaze.

"If Han solo's around here I'll super glue it to my head." Theo said.

*

Day two was fairly similar to day one. With Liam's plans quickly falling to the very back of his mind as he lost himself amongst the petty amusement of racing through the cobbled streets with Theo, this time donned in a Disney hat and unafraid to stop mid-run to all but tackle a star wars character for a photo.

The main difference was the amount of time spent sitting down. The two switching between the few rides dotted throughout the park and perching on little benches amongst too many children for Liam to actually believe the shows were aimed towards adults. They still watched them, even if they muttered under their breath about how they could totally do better stunts than those at the Indiana Jones stunt show until the kids around them shushed them angrily.

*

"What do you mean we're too old to train to be Jedi? What, are you Yoda?" Theo said with disdain, Liam let out a snort of laughter, tugging on his arm as the worker looked between the two with wide eyes.

"Dude come on, you have to be a kid, it's fine."

"He's the size of the average two-year-old does that count?" Theo asked.

"ONE INCH DUDE!" Liam bellowed. "You know what? You can take him, he has the mind of a child. Or feed him to the fat slug I don't care-" He heard Theo laughing even as he turned and stomped away.

"He always gets like this when he misses nap ti-" Liam span on his heel once more, jabbing a finger in Theo's face.

"I swear to god-" Theo took his finger, pushing it out of his face slowly an amused tilt to his lips.

"You're clearly too emotional to be a Jedi."

"I will ki-"

"Excuse me." The worker said softly. "This really is only for children and you're scaring them so if you could go to another ride before I have to call security I-" Theo didn't wait for her to stop talking, just shoved Liam away from the glowering miniature Jedi's.

*

"That one just looks better so-" Liam tried, pointing to the small red body of a droid. Theo elbowed him in the side, twisting his body further so Liam wouldn't be able to see the small droid parts clutched in his hands.

"You don't get an opinion, it's my dro-"

"But just look how cool the red one is!"

"If you like the red one then you should have chosen to make a droid rather than a lightsaber." Theo said, Liam swished the green lightsaber at his side morosely.

"The red would-"

"Dude!" Theo snapped. "Just make yourself a stupid red droid if you want one and stop bothering me." Liam grinned, tossing his lightsaber onto the workbench by Theo and searching through the small drone heads with gusto.

"Mine's gonna be better than yours." He said proudly scooping up a little red piece.

"Yeah I'm sure." Theo hummed disbelievingly searching for legs for his mismatched droid eagerly.

Liam was too busy searching for the right pieces to notice Theo finish up his own and wander away. He did notice however when he was suddenly back, dropping a hat on top of Liam's head with a grin.

"No-"

"If I have to wear one you have to wear one." Theo said easily Liam scowled up at him.

"I made sure to get Minnie's, you know, to match your 'cool' red drone."

"I'm going to call him Theo." Liam said, shoving the stupid drone in Theo's face. "Because he may be pretty but he's useless."

"That would hurt more if you hadn't called me pretty." Theo said, backing away with a tilted smile. "The hat suits you, Pumpkin." Liam was positive Theo let Liam hear his heartbeat skip at the lie on purpose.

*

"We done everything?" Theo asked, tossing a candy up in the air and catching it in his mouth.

"Yeah. I think so? I mean, there's meeting Kylo Ren but I don't even know who that is so-"

"Who?" Theo asked, twisting to look over Liam's shoulder at the little pamphlet clutched in his hands.

"Exactly." Liam snorted. "We could go check out another park if you wanted? There's some star wars show tonight but that's not for another like...seven hours so we have time."

"Magic Kingdom?"

"Or Animal kingdom. Then we could spend all of tomorrow at the typhoon lagoon or blizzard beach. I know how you feel about water parks."

"There are water parks here?"

"Did you even look through the brochures?"

"No." Theo said easily tossing another candy in the air. Liam jolted a hand out and caught it before it could drop into Theo's awaiting mouth. He plopped it into his own ignoring Theo's glare and stood up.

"Animal kingdom?" Liam asked, offering a hand to Theo.

"Yeah... Alright." Theo said. "So what exactly is there at animal kingdom?"

"Animals."

"That was really enlightening."

"MOMMY! MOMMY! WE FOUND CHEWIE! COME TAKE A PHOTO!" The two boys paused in their slow dawdle towards the exit. Eyes meeting. Theo's lips curled hopefully.

"One more stop then Animal kingdom?" Liam suggested. Theo did nothing to try and hide the smile, he span on his heel, grabbing Liam's hand.

"She's over here." Theo said, dragging Liam along.

"You know chasing a little girl is probably a bit weird."

If anyone ever asked Liam how long they spent taking photos with Chewbacca and the Ewoks that had wandered passed he would lie because telling the truth would be humiliating. He'd love to be able to say it was Theo's fault but honestly, Liam had spent the first five minutes wondering how Chewbacca was so tall as the pair tilted their head up to look at him and then at least another five asking him questions just so he'd reply with Wookie yells. Then another few snap chatting Mason said Wookie noises.

Theo had managed to drag him away from Chewie for long enough to get what was definitely too many photos with the Ewoks before Liam was running right back, trying to convince Chewbacca to let him lift him up for a photo while Theo moved around taking photos of the sets around them.

"Come on dude!" Liam pleaded. "I swear I can carry you. Can't I Theo?" Liam turned to Theo who had apparently stopped running around and was now tapping away at his phone, eyes flickering up to an Ewok every few seconds. "Dude, I asked you-"

"Yes, you're strong enough to pick up Chewbacca." Theo said. Liam turned back to the Wookie, waving at Theo in a 'see' gesture.

"How about you let someone else get a picture?" A man asked, glowering at Liam. "You know this place is for kids-"

"It will take one second. Please?" The Wookie shook his head. "Oh, come on-"

"We've been waiting for-"

"Come on." Liam was suddenly yanked away from Chewbacca as Theo appeared behind him. "Take your picture." He said, waving to the dad who humphed snottily.

"But-"

"Ask again when there's not a line forming." Theo said. "Come on, The Ewoks are leaving and the woman we asked to take some photos was apparently a drug addict with how much she was shaking."

"I have pictures on my phone and they're fi-"

"Just one photo." Theo ordered, shoving Liam towards an Ewok.

"Then you'll help me convince Chewb-"

"Yeah sure." Theo said, in a way that did nothing to reassure Liam that he would do anything more than laugh at Liam while he tried. "Alright say cheese." Theo said, holding up his phone.

"Really?" Liam asked dryly. Theo didn't seem to mind his request was denied, snapping the photo and nodding his thanks at the Ewok before he looked down to the screen. Theo let out an undignified cackle the second his eyes met the screen.

"What?" Liam asked, rushing over to see what was so funny eagerly. Theo shifted the phone so he couldn't see it.

"Nothing, nothing" Theo said, waving Liam off even as he continued laughing.

"Dude-"

"You're the same height as the Ewok." Theo snorted.

"No I'm no-" Liam blinked as the Ewok scurried past Theo, roughly an inch shorter. "shut up." Liam huffed. Theo continued laughing hysterically. Liam raised an eyebrow when he realized Theo's eyes were shimmering with tears. "Dude it's not that funny." The statement only seemed to make Theo laugh harder, he thrust the phone in Liam's face. Hands shaking so hard it was hard to see the photo. When he did he let out an indignant squawk. "Did you face swap me with an Ewok?!" Liam hissed. Theo snorted, loud enough to draw the attention of the people, and the Wookie, near them. "Delete it." Liam said, snatching for the phone, Theo was too quick, moving the phone away before he could get it. He took another look, throwing his head back as he laughed harder.

"Your hair suits it." Theo howled.

"Dude!"

"I'm sending it to everyone."

"No." Liam said, diving for the phone once more, Theo danced out of the way, fingers moving on the screen. "Dude stop! I swear to God." Liam's phone buzzed in his pocket.

"One down, I think Scott next don't you?" Theo asked, Liam caught Theo's arm but he simply tossed the phone up and caught it in the other. Liam kept a vice grip on Theo's arm even as he leaned the one with the phone further away, he could see Theo flicking through the admittedly short list of contacts.

"Stop it." Liam begged, clawing on his arm passed Theo trying to reach for the phone as Theo kept him at bay with the arm he was still holding. Theo clicked Scott's name. "dude I swear I will kick your ass." Liam said. Theo ignored him, tapping Scotts name.

"Oops." He hummed. "you know I think I have Mason's number somewhere- ah here we go-"

"Why do you even. No! Don't you dare click it! Delete it!" Theo's finger thumb over a number named 'the human' his head tilted back to Liam, lips twisting in a patented cocky smirk as he arched an eyebrow challengingly.

"Make me." He drawled. Annunciating the words with a soft purr. Liam moved before he could register it, the realization of what he was doing hit him a split second before his lips crushed against Theo's, long enough only for him to give a surprised squeak as if he weren't the one who was assaulting someone with his lips.

Liam would have liked to say it was magical, he would have liked to say Theo took to it like a fish to water, that he dropped his phone with abandon and breathed a quiet 'finally' into the kiss as his fingers curled at Liam's waist and he pulled him closer. That he kissed him once, twice, until his toes curled and they were forced to break apart to suck in ragged breaths.

He'd like to say a lot of things, all he could say however was that he thought Theo's lips might have been soft had he managed to do more than a soft brush before Theo's fist was colliding with his cheekbone hard enough to be sending him reeling backwards, a surprised grunt flying past his lips that was almost hidden by the soft gasps around them as Liam was saved from breaking his ass on the floor by Chewbacca catching him beneath the armpits. And honestly, Liam had thought of many outcomes to kissing Theo but he could safely say getting punched in the face and caught like some damsel in distress by Chewbacca hadn't ever crossed his mind. He let himself be hauled up, hand coming to rub his aching cheek as his eyes moved back to Theo. Watching, heart in his throat and bile rising to meet it as Theo swiped a hand across his mouth like he had when he'd drunk from the stupid Gaston cup the day before and been left with a line of foam on his upper lip.

He could hear his heartbeat, cantering in his ears in a deafening rumble but his chest felt empty. A gaping hole as he watched Theo raise his head to meet Liam's eyes. His lip curled in disgust as he did so, as if the mere sight of Liam made him feel sick.

"Are you an idiot or just an asshole?" Theo hissed.

"Theo-" Liam said, voice a crackling rasp that had him wincing. "I'm..I-" Liam licked his lips searching desperately for something to say, an explanation that would have the expression of loathing off of Theo's face. How could he have been so stupid to think Theo would actually want him. "I'm sorry I-" God what was he meant to say? He couldn't lie to Theo and say he didn't mean to, or want to. The best he could do was say he hadn't meant to do it today, that he had a plan. A three-step plan that somehow he'd still fucked up.

"You're sorry?" Theo laughed, it was a horrible sound, mocking and cruel and too much like the Theo Liam had first met making his stomach clench and insides squirm like snakes were moving beneath his skin. "You say you don't want to confuse me and then you get us one bed and fucking lie about it? Oh Theo go to Idaho it's where you belong, but by the way, I don't actually want you to go to Idaho but I won't explain it. Theo, I don't want you but I'm going to kiss you to get a stupid fucking photo?!"

"It's not...It's not like that." Liam tried desperately. Theo slunk closer, lips twisting further in the manic smirk.

"Really? Alright then what is it like?" he said, voice rumbling with anger like it could turn to a real growl at any moment. Liam could feel the eyes of the other patrons on them. On him. He tried to talk past the lump in his throat, wishing, for a moment, that Tara could pop up and drag him away because even what Theo had told him about repeatedly having his heart ripped out sounded preferable to having a group of strangers and a goddamn actor dressed as Chewbacca watching him get his heart broken.

"I don't-" Liam choked. "It's not-" he couldn't breathe, the words piling up in his throat as half thought out explanations fought for his attention.

"Come on Pumpkin." Theo said, delivering a hard shove to Liam shoulders, Liam stumbled back. Pumpkin had never sounded so ugly. "Explain it to me." Liam couldn't force a single word out, blinking at Theo stupefied. Theo carried on, shoving Liam again. "Say something!" Theo spat. "Fucking explain it to me." Liam gulped, Theo shoved him again. "Dammit, Liam! Fucking-"

"Get off of me!" Liam screamed, fist swinging blindly. He thought the scream a mother let out as it collided with Theo's cheek was a bit dramatic. His knuckles ached, Theo was silent, face tilted towards the ground, hair dangling in his eyes. The chimera's hand came up slowly, fingers brushing across his already bruising jaw, Liam gulped. Theo spat, a glob of blood hitting the ground by his feet. Liam braced himself, ready for Theo to retaliate, to throw another punch like they'd done so many times before.
