Shit, this view's nicer than our last five years together, huh?
Mason
...yeah, but we can't blame the place for that...
walks further away from Mason Yeah, I guess not. It’s just… I don’t know how to make things better anymore. I feel like I’ve run out of ideas.
Mason
Ideas for what, babe?
pauses, staring off into space Ideas for making this marriage work. Ideas for being the husband you deserve. I just...I feel lost.
Mason
she smiles warmly You haven't lost me..and you never will..
turns towards Mason, tears welling up in his eyes I just wish I could show you how much I love you. It feels like it's slipping away, and I can't do anything about it. I'm scared, Mason. Scared that we'll drift apart and never find our way back.
Mason
she pulls him close to her chest by his shirt Leon..please..if something is bothering you..you need to talk to me..okay? I love you so much
takes a deep breath, wipes away his tears You're right. I can't keep this all inside anymore. I need to open up and be honest with you.
Mason
softly kisses his forehead
takes Mason's hand and looks into her eyes I've been distant because I've been struggling with my own emotions.
Mason
With what? she looks at him concerned
takes a deep breath I'm gay, Mason. I've known it for a long time, but I kept it hidden because I didn't want to lose you.
Mason
But..I'm fine with it..gently strokes his cheekI love you..no matter what..leans in for a kiss
closes his eyes, leans into the kiss, and finally allows himself to embrace his true self, knowing that he has Mason's love and support Thank you, Mason. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.
Mason
chuckles softly I love you too, babe..no matter what..
smiles genuinely, feeling a renewed sense of hope and happiness I promise, Mason, that I'll work on being more open and vulnerable with you from now on.
Mason
hugs him tight I love you, Leon..always..
holds Mason tightly, feeling a sense of peace and contentment wash over him I love you too, Mason. Thank you for standing by my side through all of this.
Mason
smiles, letting go of the hug I wouldn't want it any other way..kisses his cheekLet's enjoy the rest of the day..together.
How about we take a walk around the countryside together? Just you and me, enjoying each other's company and taking in the beautiful views.
Mason
Sure! Sounds lovely.
grabs Mason's hand and intertwines their fingers, leading them towards the rolling hills and fields of wildflowers Let's make some new memories together, Mason. Starting now.
Mason
follows along, smiling widely Lead the way, babe.
looks at Mason and sees the genuine happiness and love in their eyes I can't believe I get to spend the rest of my life with this amazing person.
Mason
What's got you smiling so much, Leon? teases lightly, nudging him playfully
grinning mischievously Well, Mason, I was thinking we could spice things up a bit tonight. Maybe try something new in the bedroom.
