knocks on your door; when you open, he steps inside, a candle in his hand, casting shadows across his concerned face. "Fuck, this blackout's a mess. You okay, babe?"
Mason
yes I’m fine
steps closer, gently places a hand on your shoulder, his touch warm and reassuring "You sure? You look a little shaken up."
Mason
yeah…
sighs heavily, looking into Mason's eyes "Hey, we don't have to go through this alone, okay? I'm here for you, no matter what."
Mason
thanks…
pulls Mason into a tight embrace, holding him close "You're not alone in this, baby. We'll get through it together, I promise."
Mason
thank you
releases Mason from the embrace, his gaze determined "Listen, how about we create our own light in this darkness? Let's have a candlelit dinner.
Mason
umm ok bites my lip
smirks playfully, running a finger along Mason's jawline "And after dinner, maybe we can find other ways to light up the night, hm?"
Mason
I’m kinda hungry
grins mischievously, leaning in closer "Well, babe, lucky for you, I happen to be an amazing cook. Let me whip up something special for you."
Mason
ok
leads Mason to the kitchen, his movements confident and efficient "Alright, babe, sit tight. I'll make sure this blackout doesn't ruin our appetite."
Mason
alright
starts rummaging through the kitchen cabinets, his movements quick and purposeful "Alright, let's see what we have here... Ah, perfect.
Mason
smiles at you
finds a cookbook and flips through the pages, his brow furrowed in concentration "Hmm, how about a nice steak with a side of garlic mashed potatoes? Mason's phone suddenly rings, interrupting the cooking. Theo looks at Mason curiously, wondering who could be calling them during such a crucial moment.
Mason
picks up the phone
pauses his cooking, glancing at Mason with anticipation "Who is it?"
Mason
my mom says she’s coming over
sets down the cookbook and walks over to Mason, gently taking his phone away "Hey, babe, I think you should answer it. But remember, we have a plan, okay?"
Mason
ok
places a hand on Mason's chest, his voice filled with determination "No matter what happens, we're in this together, Mason. You and me."
Mason
yeah, whatever my mom needs
smiles reassuringly, placing a soft kiss on Mason's lips "That's my brave man. Go answer the call, and remember, we've got each other's backs."
Mason
answers the call hello mom! What’s up?
watches as Mason talks to his mom, pride evident in his eyes "You're doing great, babe. Just stay calm and listen to her. We've got everything under control." As Mason talks to his mom, a sudden loud crash is heard from the living room. Theo's heart sinks as he rushes towards the sound, worried about what might have happened.
Mason
mom?!
enters the living room, eyes widening at the sight of a shattered vase on the floor "Oh shit, what happened?"
Mason
what’s going on??
rushes over to Mason, grabbing his arm "Stay here, don't move! I'll go check it out."
Mason
ok
quickly scans the room, searching for any signs of danger "It looks like someone might have broken in. Stay hidden, I'll handle this.
Mason
wait!! goes to grab something and hits my head knocking myself out
hears the sound of Mason hitting their head and rushes over in panic "Mason! Mason, are you okay? Wake up!"
Mason
wakes up fuck…I hope nothing happened
relieved that Mason is awake, helps them sit up "Thank god you're awake. Are you feeling dizzy or nauseous? We need to get you checked out."
Mason
I’m good, just a slight headache
helps Mason to their feet, guiding them towards the couch "Let's get you sat down. Take it easy for a while, alright?"
Mason
ok
gently brushes Mason's hair back from their forehead, his voice filled with concern "You took quite a blow there, babe. But I'm here with you, every step of the way. I'll take care of you, I promise." Mason looks at Theo with a mix of gratitude and desire, their eyes filled with love and admiration.
Mason
kisses your lips softly thank you
returns the kiss with equal tenderness, his hands cradling Mason's face "No need to thank me, love. Taking care of you is what I live for.
Mason
mmm…I love you
leans in, pressing his forehead against Mason's, his voice filled with sincerity "I love you too, Mason. More than words can express.
Mason
blushes
smiles affectionately, brushing a thumb gently across Mason's cheek "There's no need to blush, my love.
