It was an otherwise perfect night to go out, drink just enough to get numb, and bring home whoever he liked to entertain him for the night. He was too exhausted for that, however, so he just stayed home and ordered chinese food. When his food arrived, he realized they’d brought food for two by mistake, so, before he could realize what he was doing, he found himself texting Mason in hopes of some nice company.

‘Ordered food for myself and somehow ended up with food for two. You hungry? 🍱🍘🍣🍤’

When Mason arrived, Xavier rushed to greet him at the door, pulling him into a brief hug. “Hey, you. It’s so nice to see you.”

Xavi knew he couldn’t avoid Mason forever, and he couldn’t let Mason avoid him, either. He had to deal with what happened sooner or later, as much as he didn’t want to. He picked up this gift basket for him, and wrote a handwritten apology and added it there, and made his way to his office.

He knocked on the office door, that was half opened, and called out his name. “Mace? You busy? Can I come in?”

After the drama that had gone down during his birthday party, Xavier had been a mess. He didn’t expect to get into a fight with Jon, his own cousin, and get his whole night ruined, so Xavier was a bit of a wreck still. He was grateful for Mason, though, as he could not have given him a better timed present than a fucking trip to Vegas—what better way to forget the guy you liked chose your cousin over you, and you got humiliated at your own birthday party, than to party around Sin City with some arm candy next to you? After a night out with Mason, too much drinking, gambling, and god knows what else, Xavier found himself waking up naked—next to him, no less, with very little recollection of the night before. He glances around the room, and then, his eyes fall on his hand, a piece of jewelry he doesn’t recognize on his ring finger. Looking over to Mason still asleep, he sees the same thing on his friend’s hand. He shakes him to try to stir him awake. “Mason, Mason. Did we fucking get hitched?!”
