AN: okay this is a oneshot between Mia and Mason theres no fanfic of them to but I really like the idea of them so if you guys like it I might carry on. Also this is set before Rose and Lissa arrive enjoy :D

disclaimer:I don't own the fantastic characters that Richelle meads created.

I couldn't help staring at him from across the quad mason Ashford is really cute and sexy. I can't believe I'm checking a dhampir out but I couldn't help it if anyone was to blame it would be him I mean I was just casually on my way to the feeding room when I saw there working out his muscles flexing and rippling as he punched the practise dummy and then made a clean swipe with his stake. He could be my guardian any day. Like he sensed someone was watching he turns around.

"Oh hey Mia." He said.

My heart did summersaults while my stomach got butterflies. omg! omg! He's walking this way just keep cool.

"Hey Mason." I say as coolly as possible. while my insides are getting all jittery

"Where you headed?"

"Oh on my way to the feeders." Oh man oh man please ask to come with me.

"is it okay if I walk with you I'm heading to the cafeteria to see Eddie and its right next to the feeders, wouldn't want you walking alone you don't know what lurks around in the school grounds." he said with a cute little lopsided smile. I think my insides just melted.

"Yeah sure if you insist on being my night and shining armour I joked." Could I have sounded any lamer I'm so stupid you could have said something smart Mia. Why am I acting like this I'm never this nervous around guys.

"Oh yeah I mean it's my job to help damsels in distress." He said with a wink.

I think I'm gonna faint.

"r-i-g-g-h-t." I stuttered my cheeks flaming up. Oh boy let's hope he doesn't notice. He chuckled softly which made my cheeks hotter does he know what I was thinking? If he did he doesn't let on.

"So how are you and Aaron?"

"who?" I was dazzled by his blue eyes.

"Aaron your boyfriend." He said giving me a weird look.

Shit I was so busy checking mason out I wasn't even paying attention.

"Oh right that Aaron see I know a billion Aarons and you know I got confused and I'm just going to shut up now before I make myself more of an ass."

"No keep going it's funny." He said playfully.

Damn my cheeks just when they where cooling down they heat right back up again.

"Tell me this Mia how do you forget your boyfriends name?"He tried containing his laughter but it didn't work.

"w-w-e-e-l-l I h-a-d a l-o-t o-n m- y m-i-n-d." I stuttered helplessly

"Well I leave you and your thoughts alone because this is your stop I believe." I didn't want him to leave I liked talking to mason I felt like I could be free and not have to pretend to be a royal snob when I really wasn't.

"I guess this is my stop thanks for walking me Mr Night and shining armour but you know sometimes your night and shining armour turns out to be a retard in tinfoil." I said teasingly.

"Yeah sometimes but I'm not I'm the real deal all white horses and swords." He was walking down the hall but he turned around to give me a bow.

"So long damsel my work here is done."

"Damsel has a name." I yelled.

I didn't hear his reply he was too far away now that he was gone I realized we had drawn quite a bit of attention time to go back to royal snob.

"What are you looking at?" they all scurried off and I let out a long sigh as my heart beat returned to normal and my cheeks I walked into the feeding room.
