Monday

"I've been speaking to Tom. We've decided to give you Frosbisher" Patty announces. "Please do not fuck this up"

"Shit! I mean, thank you. I...know how big this case is. I won't let you down" Theo asks, taking another scoop of cookie dough ice cream.

"I'll send Tom over to send you all the case files. Most will be on your work laptop by lunch-time"
"Sure, sure"

"Great"

"Wait, Patty I'm not-" But it's too late. She's ended the call. He can't tell her that he's not at his place. He tries calling back the number, but off course, it's a freaking burner phone.

"Thanks for helping me with the model billboard, Thee's gotta love it!" Mason looks around as Brett pulls up against the curb. They've just come back from the gym. He's not sure what Brett knows. He's told him that he wants to surprise his boyfriend. Brett being a good friend has agreed to help him out. Of course Theo's warning whirls around his mind as the were sneaks looks at him, while he's driving. Mason occasionally clamps his legs together as Brett's knuckles brush against his thigh. This is only to move the gear-stick. Brett's sportscar is small and stuffy.

"Umm...why are we parked outside Thee's place?"

"I thought you wanted to his pictures?"

"They're on my phone. Still, I may as well check his place. Make sure that it's okay" Mason gets out of the car. He walks up and gets the spare key from underneath the garden pebbles. He goes upstairs first. Yes, everything his exactly how he'd left it. Bathroom was clean as he usual. He goes back downstairs to find Brett chilling on his boyfriend's sofa.
"Everything's fine, we should go"

"I heard...about a shouting match with Theo"

"How? It's only Monday?" Mason asks in disbelief.

"Good news travels fast? You don't need to focus on his place. Or him for that matter" Brett reaches for the remote and turns on the TV.

"It...was a small disagreement. Whatever you've heard isn't true"

"So...he didn't leave in a limo in the middle of the night?" Mason turns away and coughs in blatant embarrassment. "If Theo's single. So are you"

"I'm not. You know how hot headed he is. Things are intense right now. But I'll will blow over" He looks over to see Brett popping mircowave popcorn in his mouth. Where the hell did he get that from?

"What did you argue about?"

"Thee and I had a date night. You texted me about the merge with Decaulion. He rightfully wasn't happy" He frowns as the tall were chuckles. In a flash he's by Mason's side and holds his hand.

"You were arguing over me?"

"Don't flatter yourself man. We were arguing over my selfishness"

"Which involved me. You texted me while you were fine dining? What's the issue?"
"I don't know..."

"It's not like you texted me in bed, now that would have been a insult!" Brett raises his eyebrows and grins.

"Let's go, you're paying Thee back for that popcorn by the way" Mason points at the bag.

"Come on Mase, let's hang out. Now Raeken's ditched you can finally focus on classier, hotter options" He neatly folds the popcorn back. He zooms to the kitchen before lightly pinning Mason against the wall.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"What the fuck does it look like? Mase, you're clearly not focused on Theo' you're focused on me" Brett smirks, dotting a kiss on the human's cheek. You want this" He raises his nike shirt. Eight pack almost begging Mason to touch it.
"Have you lost your fucking MIND!" Mason roughly pushes him away and runs outside. Unfortunately the were is already out, messing around with the garden pebbles with his foot. "You really didn't just make a pass at me in my boyfriend's freaking house!"

"Babe he dumped you. Stop being delusional. In couple of months we can go out properly. Satomi's okay with it"

"Brett I'll do the billboard stuff alone. I don't need your help!"

"You need me Mase. You need me all day, and all night, so I've heard. I don't get why you're so pissy! Do you know how many people are clamouring to date me? You know how many DM's I'm overwhelmed with?"

"Oh, you poor puppy!" Mason drips with sarcasm. He steps back into the sunlight as Brett grabs his arm.
"Let go of me!"

"Wait! Just be thankful I'm interested okay, I have pack, I have an amazing job and never-ending money. I'm a vast improving from the Chimera trash that you've been banging for the last year!"

"Fuck you! You work for Satomi! Thee may not be upper class alpha snob that you clearly want to be. But he's worth a million of you!"

"I thought you were a clever boy. My mistake" A car horn starts beeping out of nowhere. Brett growls before letting his arm go.

"Go away Brett! I don't wanna see you sniffing near my boyfriend's place again!"

"Ex Boyfriend! You can walk home, you ungrateful shit, you obviously need the exercise!" The wolf marches to his sportscar and drives off, giving Mason the finger.
