A/N: This is the last chapter readers! Thanks for the reviews and Thanks for following!
"But I wish I could bleed it out for you,
I wish I could be it all for you,
If I could erase that crime,
I'd stay with you, all the time,
I'd control the world for you,
I would"
They're out by the gates. Scott knows him well enough by now. Liam's irritated. Restraining himself. All he had to do now was be patient. Just tell him that he didn't mean it.
"I know I should have told you myself"
"Damn right you should have!" Liam said.
But the truth was he didn't know how to explain himself. He couldn't talk about, The feelings that he had every time he saw Mason. The first time they were introduced. That explosion of butterflies that slid against his stomach when Mason got excited or said "Intense" He couldn't explain the dreams that he had had about him, even before the worst kiss ever in the woods. He didn't want Liam to think that he was taking advantage. But who was he kidding. He knew Liam would be gearing up to kick his ass.
Only this time...did he deserve it?
"At the time, it really felt like the right thing to do" Scott started to explain.
"Bull-shit! When is getting Talbot involved, ever the right thing?" Liam asked.
Scott squinted at him before shrugging. It turned out that he'd asked Liam's enemy for advice about the New Chimera break-out. He'd found out about his meetings with Brett and Satomi, he must have felt pushed out.
"Brett? Liam I really only went to see Satomi only..." Scott said.
"Yeah well, Talbot's been rubbing it in my face. He just had to get his dirty paws all over everything! Next time, ask me for advice, or just let me help!" Liam whined.
Scott nods. Now a angry Dunbar Disaster has been avoided, he could walk home in peace.
Or least he thought he'd be walking back home. He had no idea what led him to Sinema. Sure the music was good. The films playing on the walls had a futuristic feel to them. He got free drinks. He got hit on. A million times. By some Guys Twice his age, or by Guys Liam's age. He got talking to a Guy that he was pretty sure was a Coyote. His name was Clay.
He roughly pulled him onto the dance-floor running hands over his chest. He didn't know what to think at first, but he went along with it, trying to focus on the Movie screens and what ingredients went into making the fake blood.
He'd barely started to relax when he noticed Lukas' scent. He tried not to pay attention, kissing Clay but ignoring his offer to go to his place. He walked home in the dark staring at the brightly coloured Bill-boards, when he felt a sharp elbow to his back. He spun around to see Lukas.
"Just couldn't keep away huh? We both know who you were looking for"
"Trust me, you don't!" Scott said.
Lukas charged, punching him in the face. He growled and went after the Scorpion with a fury. He swung for him, and ended up being kicked in the stomach and kneed in the head. Scott stumbled backwards moaning as he felt the recognizable sting of Lukas' pincer arms.
He swept the boy off his feet before dragging him up by the arms and throwing him across the street. Sure he'd like to Introduce Lukas to Deaton, see if it was possible to get some help for him. But not while he being such an ass. He disappeared into the night, now getting comforted by the smells of his Mom and his room and...
"Mason?..." He says looking at the Innocent happy go lucky human sitting on his porch.
"Hey!" Mason says a little too loudly.
"You shouldn't be here" He says coldly. He's sorry about the hostility, but it's for the best.
"I wanted to talk...you know...about the stuff in the woods"
"I'm sorry. If I had the time to apologize a million times, I would. You like Zombie film's right? I could order DVD's for a week. I'll Try to get you to a premiere or Zombie camera shoot or something..." Scott said.
"Intense! But you don't have to do that"
"Yeah I do. I know that you think I'm a Were-perv, and you have every right to think that..."
"Woah wait..." Mason said.
"No, it's gotta be said. You're younger than me. You're Liam's Best friend. You're this innocent, clueless human that we've got to protect. That I need to protect. And I just acted like the animal that I said I'd never be. Putting my hands all over you, making you do stuff, hurting you..." Scott said.
"You didn't"
"You're lying. We should just stay away from each other, I've done enough" Scott says, more to himself than to Mason.
"But I like Hanging out with you Guys"
Scott laughs and grabs his arm feeling the Twinge of Lukas' attack. It's surprising how slowly he's been healing lately. He walks past Mason and leans against his own door. He lets his arm hang by his side, trying to hide how hurt he is just like that other time.
"Things we like aren't always good for us" Scott says.
"But Scott you and "your gang" have helped me so much, and I like helping you out whenever I can" Mason said.
"Just go home"
"Scott can I make a point without you interrupting? Mason asks.
Surprised by his sharp tongue, he stays silent.
"Scott I don't wanna spend time away from you Guys, I've made a whole bunch of new friends"
"You'll find other ones" Scott tells him.
"But no-one like you"
Scott smiles and searches in his pockets for his key. It was just like Mason to be kind and helpful, and offer a shoulder to cry on. But Scott had to move on. This was the first and last time that he would literally go sniffing around Liam's buddies. After the partying, the making out, and the fighting, sleep is crying out to him. He needs to shower the sweat off, and get ready for that Algebra Test tomorrow.
"You're sweet, but..."
"Not as sweet as you taste Scott. Although I had hoped that our first kiss would be more romantic, like after dinner or a movie" Mason said.
Scott stopped looking for his key and turned around. Did he just say that he what he thought he said? His eyes widened as Mason came closer. He felt more nervous than he'd ever had. More nervous than facing Wendigos, chimeras or a possessed friend. He gulped as Mason rubbed his hand with his thumb.
"So...what you're saying is..."
"Scott McCall, do you wanna go out sometime? Just us?" Mason smiled.
The End!
