"Do you think she'll say yes? I can't wait to meet her!"
"We don't know, that's why Satomi will be with me" Scott said pulling up to Mason's place.
"I'll get a new set of clothes and jet back down here!" Mason said quickly opening the car door and running down the pathway. The door's already open. Both guys go up the stairs into Mason's bedroom. The Were takes the huge bestairies from his bed and puts them on his computer desk. For many reason's he's glad his boyfriend's human. Especially tonight. Any supernatural worth their salt would be able to hear the worry in his voice, and the disappointed glances that Mason is too excited to see.
As much as a turn on it would be to see him change in front of him, Scott lightly sits on his bed and gets prepared.
"Mase..."
"Do you think I should dress regular, or like I'm going for a job interview?"
"You can't-"
"What colours do alpha's like? I wanna wear something that says I'm friendly... Is red triggering?" He asks, getting out a red shirt.
"You look great in everything. But going to Tate's cresent, isn't safe for you" Scott warns.
"Stiles is going!" He whines.
"Only because we've been there together before. Our scents are inter-twined. The alpha's will trust him. Please don't be mad and make that face. Any drop of fear, they will smell it" He sighs as Mason throws the shirt on the bed. He's clearly more upset then he's going to show. His boyfriend was never a volcano. There were no eruptions to hide from. He was more passive aggressive with his anger, which in some ways seemed worse.
"I'll come with weapons, there's a whole bag..." Mason points.
"No"
"I'll stand behind Kira the whole time"
"Nope" The were repeats
"Scott don't shut me out, I can prove I'm an asset, just you wait..."
"Listen to me Mason. This isn't a fantasy game. Every alpha isn't as friendly as me. You've met Blessed, you know this. I know you wanna see how everything works. The pack rules, the things we talk about. I'll tell you everything when I get back I promise"
"Babe you said we were equals!"
"We are! Honestly!" Scott reaches out for him, but he backs away, and folds his arms.
"If we're on the same level and you trust me, why am I stuck at home?"
"Do you know what my number one goal is?" Scott asks fiddling with Mason's quilt.
"To go to the alpha pack and request to recruit Covington as soon as possible" Mason rehearsed this a thousand times, sitting further away from him on the bed, next to the pillows.
"No, it's making sure that everyday I get you home in one piece. I can't lose you Mase. Even when you have little accidents, like a papercut, or tripping over your own feet, you have no idea what that does to me" Scott slides himself over to him, lying on the bed. He curls himself around the human's waist. He reaches for his hand and strokes smooth black skin. To his relief, his pulse seems calm.
"Why do I feel like being human is a colossal negative?" Mason sighs.
"Don't say that. You're my positive. I need you safe. Safe means at home" He leans up and kisses him on the cheek.
"Okay, okay" Mason nods wrapping his arm around him. "You win, your reasonable arguments and adorable face have convinced me!"
"Good!" Scott kisses his forehead before getting up.
"Good luck!" Mason gets up, now in a more cheerful mood, and opens his laptop.
"What you up to?"
"While you're gone, I may as well see if Brett's available. As you can see I've got stacks of bestiaries and he's super clued up on nomad pack history" Mason said waving his boyfriend goodbye as he started connecting to skype.
"Great, I'll call you later" Scott said leaving through the window, he crawls down the house until he gets to the car, impressed when he sees his best friend in the driver's seat.
"How did he take it?" Stiles asks, starting the car.
"At first, not good, but I talked him round"
"Will he be calling you every five minutes?"
"No, thank god. He's with Brett" Scott nods.
"Woah...you mean you left Brett Talbot...like tall hot blonde jock Brett upstairs with your dude!" Stiles yells, his mouth hangs open in shock.
"Not literally, it's all on skype, calm down" He laughs.
"Scotty, you're so innocent! How can you not realise that online temptation can be worse than the real thing! Trust and believe my puppy pal, that Beta's half naked with whipped cream on his nipples right now!"
"Your imagination is...too much!"
"Masie can come, we can...get a scuba diving outfit and he can spy on us in the lakes!"
"I trust him. And Brett Talbot's not all that!" Scott smirks, but he's met with eerie silence. "Let's go before I change my mind" He tuts as his friend starts the car, and they head off to find the rest of their pack.
