Andy came closer and Mason stifled a sigh expecting a lecture or some comment that he was an ass and she still couldn’t be emotional around him. He had just got there. But she stood close. Too close and she stared. Instead in such a quiet voice she said something completely unexpected. [color=bd1664]"You look handsome."[/color] He thought he must have misheard. If it wasn’t followed up by a kiss on his cheek and hand on his chest. She let her hand drift along him. Mason extended his arm and briefly and ever so gently, skimmed his fingers through hers prolonging her touch for a second.

Again, he was in half a mind to squeeze her hand and just tug her back to him but he let the contact remain hers and short. Though she didn’t make it easy. The last thought he had to do, she ended up acting out.

[color=B45F06]“I’ll find you later,”[/color] he promised.

Mason stared after her. She looked amazing, a combination of modest, cute and sexy all in one. He tried not to stare because staring from behind looked piggish but…she wasn’t easy to peel his eyes away from.

Trinity snapped him out of his happy day dream. Literally. [color=#66356a]“You. Me. Talk.”[/color]

He knew it was coming but he still sighed out with a roll of his eyes and followed her. She looked to be in turmoil over something for a moment. Maybe she’d even spare him a lecture. But she walked on. [color=B45F06]“Look-”[/color]

Trinity stopped sharply in front of him that he bumped into her. [color=#66356a]“Whatcha doing Romeo?”[/color]

He looked off in annoyance taking a step back. It wasn’t much use fighting with Trinity. Besides, he had long admitted to his fuck up. Getting re-scolded about it wasn’t going to change anything. [color=B45F06]“I know,”[/color] he answered dully.

[color=#66356a]“You need to shape up. Andy deserves better from you. She [i]needs[/i] better from you. If you’re not gonna step up to the plate and keep treating her like she’s alone or expendable then you need to leave her alone. You don’t get to do this Hades brooding bullshit. Last thing she needs is to feel like she’s dating Ajax again.”[/color]

[color=B45F06]“I know!”[/color] He snapped this time. Mason clenched his fists. [color=B45F06]“I know,”[/color] he said again more evenly. [color=B45F06]“Don’t compare me to him.”[/color] Mason despised Ajax and the way he treated Andy, choosing a bratty bitch sister constantly over his own girlfriend unless he wanted to get intimate. He used and abused her. They weren’t the same.

[color=B45F06]“I can acknowledge I’m faulty. Big time. But me and him don’t even belong in the same sentence like that.”[/color] He pat down his pockets for a smoke, catching some girl at the bar putting out one of hers. Unless she was drowning a stick.

While he was stressed, why not add to it. [color=B45F06]“Does Andy think I’m the same?”[/color] he asked, almost afraid to hear the answer.

[color=#66356a]“Look, obviously you’re doing something.”[/color] She gestured up and down him. He supposed it was nice someone saw some effort. [color=#66356a]“But you need to make it up to her tenfold.”[/color]

Mason sighed again. [color=B45F06]“I want to. I mean I’m trying but I don’t even know if I can hug her or kiss her… or just give her space.”[/color] Mason watched Andy converse with some big red-ginger then looked back at Trinity. [color=B45F06]“If you know what she wants me to do, tell me. Please. Because I’m lost.”[/color]

Somewhere along the way, he had lost Trinity, her eyes mostly drawn on his outfit. [color=#66356a]“Did Wes recommend?”[/color]

Mason laughed dryly. [color=B45F06]“None of what the self-nominated camp counsellor recommended said dress like [i]this[/i]. I don’t need his advice or 'recommendations' anyway.”[/color] His eyes found Wes and he scoffed. That boot licker only served as nosy and an annoyance in the hall.

[color=B45F06]“None of it's his business. Or yours.”[/color]

Mason jutted his head in the direction of the group playing cornhole. [color=B45F06]“Shouldn't he be more focused on his relationship with you and the lack of arm?”[/color] One would think being handicapped, healing from the box and having a daughter of Ares would preoccupy his day rather than caring about other people's relationships. [color=B45F06]"Or has he been too focused on Alex leaving?"[/color] They were the best of best friends after all. He'd hardly be surprised if they fooled around before Trinity got involved with Wes. Or during.
