In Mason's eyes, the reception room was a million times better than the church. Beautifully lit with fans and candles. With a gold and creme theme. It's nice to sit around with Elena eve and Vill and marvel at the huge paintings on the wall. Mason takes a small sip of wine. He watches Corey and Ennis come in to the room and wave like celebrities. Corey walks by his table and waves and him and Theo.
By the time the speeches are getting made Mason is on his second glass.
"Slow down a little" Theo pleads.
"I'm fine, honestly" Mason said taking a larger gulp. This wine was starting to get addictive.
"Mase relax, sweetie, I need you half sober, I'm going to teach you how to dance!" Vill points both of her fingers at him in pistol signs.
"I'm soberish" Mason pauses, taking another sip. As Decualion ends him speech and Corey walks up to the huge podium, Mason is searching around for a whole wine bottle.
"I'd like to thank everyone for being here. My sweetheart. Decaulion, for paying for all of this, my pack, for being the most supportive family in the world, but most of all. I'd like to thank the reason this is all happening. I'd like to thank Mr Mason Hewitt!" Corey points. Mason wishes that the polished wooden floor would just open up as every supernatural peers at him.
"I'm so glad you could make it! Without you, I wouldn't have been able to see clearly. You're the reason that I woke up one day and wanted by like to change. You were the catalyst, the cannonball, the untouchable force that forced me to look into the mirror and ask myself, what do I really want? I love you Mason. Everyone raise you glasses to my best ex! To Mason!"
"To Mason!" Everyone claps as Mason gets out of his seat.
"I...hold on...I've got something say..." In a flash he's grabbed by someone. Before he can give Corey a piece of his mind he's in a fancy polished bathroom with his wedding date. "Thee? What the hell are you doing?"
"I brought you here to ask you the same thing?"
"That!" He points. He quickly runs to the stalls to check they are empty and then carries on. "That speech was bullshit! I have a right to state my opinion!"
"No-one wanted to hear the bitter ex boyfriend chronicles! Just relax, splash some water on your face and I'll take you home"
"I'm not a child Thee! You have no idea what it's like to see someone who hurt you so much just pretend that it's no big deal! That the shit-storm of pain and sleepless nights, were just a stepping stone for Corey to fuck someone else! Everyone thinks that he's so meek and sweet and innocent! Everyone needs to know who he really is!" Mason starts to storm towards the door.
"I can't let you make a fool out of yourself" Theo gently grabs his arm.
"Thee, you'll get the rest of your money! You can stop pretending that you give a fuck about my feelings!"
"Dumbass! You don't get it, do you?" Theo asks loosening his tie as he lets him go.
"Get what exactly?"
Theo leans against the sink, before wrapping an arm around Mason's waist. He firmly kisses him on mouth before taking one timid step back.
