A/N Thanks for the review.

Mason showers again, changes again and goes to the apartment. He assumes one of his room-mates would open the door and that he'd refuse to see him. He took a step back when Theo himself answers, dressed casually in a white tank t-shirt with baggy grey jogging bottoms.

"I'm surprised you're actually opening doors. Scott isn't a happy wolf right now"

"You of all people know, I'm not scared of McCall" Theo said opening the door wider.

Mason walked in and followed Theo down the hallway into the living room. He heard the sound of foot-steps upstairs. He offered to take his coat, but he refused and sat on the edge of the beige couch. "What the hell's going on? I spoke to Scott and Kim. They both say the same thing. Tell me this is some weird joke to creep my boyfriend out?" Mason asked.

Theo grabbed the control and flicked from channel to channel, over and over.

"Hello?"

"I'm just watching TV. Until you say something worth hearing" Theo muttered.

"Don't you feel the least bit guilty? You could have ruined what Scott and I have!" Mason yelled.

Theo threw the control on the table and turned sharply to look at him.

"Oh really? What exactly do you and McCall have? When is the last time he took you out? When is the last time you guys went on holiday? When is the last time he bought you a gift or made you breakfast? I get it. Now you're gonna tell me that he works so hard and that's why. He still went to Kira's family event as her plus one. He still finds time to help Liam and his girl move house. He's still going to vegas with Stiles in a couple of weeks. He makes no time for you at all!"

"Firstly these are very private questions. And yes, he does make time for me! Theo, sometimes the little things can completely change your world" Mason paused. "I really like him. Don't deliberately fuck this up for me, just because you can" He warned.

"I don't need to. Scott's already doing that for me. Do you want anything to eat?"

"I don't want anything from you thanks. You'll probably poision it" He whispers.

Theo moved closer to him and cupped his hand over his. "Hey, don't hold my past against me. I would never hurt you. I'd defend you against any wolf, anyone, or anything. You know that"

"Thee, you need a girlfriend, boyfriend, sexy coyote, whatever. You're just lonely, and that's okay, but stop telling lies just for the attention" Mason said grabbing his wrist, he leaned over and gently kissed the chimera on the cheek.

"I could treat you a million times better than that asshole"

"Weren't you worried that he was gonna come over here for war?" Mason asked.

"No, because Scott doesn't have the balls to protect you. Or fight for you. He doesn't love you" Theo spat.

Now it was the human's time to feel hurt and embarrassed. Those words stung. He sunk into the sofa, flinching like Theo had hit him. He reminded himself that he was only saying these things because he disliked Scott. Sitting here it sounded like he hated him. The negative energy tired his muscles and made his eyes water. Mason got up a little shaky, checked that he still had everything in his pockets and left the room.

He paused as reached the hallway, wondering why Theo wasn't calling him. Walking back through the hallway he looked at the pictures of Theo's ex girlfriends and boyfriends on the patterned blue walls. It was pretty clear Theo didn't actually want him, he was just addicted to the chase. A little smile formed on Mason's face as finally left Theo's place, and went back home, to Scott.
