A/N: Idea Taken from season Two episode, "Restraint"

"Me and your Beta are gaming, you wanna come over?" He texted.

"Can't, see you soon though" He replies.

Mason puts his phone on the bed and stares at his friend. "Can you...sense anything?" He asks. Liam squints and puts down his console.

."About Scott? You know I can't. You know he's busy at the vet's with Deaton" Liam shrugs.

"Yeah, more donuts?" Mason asks, as the were nods and he goes downstairs to get more from his father. He doesn't think anymore of it. Until one late evening studying he's carrying a huge besteriary, red with gold tassells. He leans it on the steps, takes a picture and sends it to Scott. "Wanna cosy up and read this?" He captioned.

"Out with Kira x" comes the reply.

He sighs. Of course, he's happy that his guy is having a great time. But it doesn't stop the jealousy tickling his throat. He heaves the book off the steps and walks towards the bus stop. As he shifts his backpack on to his shoulder, his phone slides out. "Shit" Mason whines.

"Got it!" Brett said reaching out his hand in record speed and saving his phone from being smashed.

"Thanks" It's only after he's put his phone in his bag that he takes a good look at Brett. The taller teen is stunning, obviously. Not a hair out of place. Biceps firm against his shirt. Even in the dark, Mason almost jealous of his trousers, freshly ironed, the pristine tie that is tucked in his jumper, every item on him appearing like designer wear. "Wow, you look very elite!"

"And so I should. It's Devenford's parents evening"

"All A pluses right?"

"Of course...what's wrong?" Brett asks, watching the human's confused look.

"Shit!"

"What?" Brett whispers.

"That's...that's Kira!" Mason whispers back. He knows it's her, he can tell by the way she's walking, that beautiful black hair sashaying down her back. He steps away from Brett, and starts running to the bus stop. Before he can get to the seat, the Were is already sitting on it, the huge bestiary in his hands.

"Oh, I almost forgot that!"

"The Kitsune...has...she hurt you?"

"No, it's nothing like that"

"Like what?" Brett questions, his now glowing gaze, suddenly intense.

"Scott told me he was with her tonight. Clearly he was lying. Maybe...maybe he's just gotten bored. He doesn't want to spend any time with me anymore" Mason looks to Brett for guidance. He pauses, only to hear the sound of Brett clearing his throat. "Uhh...Brett?"

"Yes?"

"This is the part, where you grab my hand, and tell me that I'm being paranoid. This is the part where you reassure me?"

"I can't reassure anyone, when I don't have all the facts"

"Wow, Thanks" Mason snarkily responds gently taking the bestiary from him. He shifts away from him to prove a point. They both wait for the bus in silence. Until the shorter teen asks- "Where's your pack?"

"Around. Look, I assume Scott's still out...right?"

"I guess?"

"Which means that maybe he's out on the prowl for a while?"

"What do you..." Mason starts to ask.

Brett scoots up to him, nudging him with his shoulder. "If you really want to discover why he's lying, we could always check out his house"

"A little too intense? I mean, how desperate will I look? Breaking into my boyfriends house?"

"Melissa will let you in. I'll be the only one breaking in technically" Brett shrugs.

The human shakes his head in shock. "I trust him. That's insane, we can't do that!"

"Fine. Wave" Brett asks, pointing absent mindedly into the distance.

"What?" Mason asks, looking at the stray cat wondering across the street.

"Wave goodbye to your reassurance" Brett slowly gets up and walks away. Sure he could be at his car in seconds. But he decided to take his time, this time. When was the last time he took a leisurely walk and enjoyed the full moon sky? He digs one hand into his pocket the other clasped around his phone. He started answering Satomi's texts. She was a little worried. She sensed he was near. He'd intended to stay by her side. But then he'd seen Mason and just...wandered off.

He was in the middle of texting her back, when he heard..."Brett? Are you still around here?"

He chuckles under his breath, deletes the first texts and starts writing a very different message...
