“Just shut up and kiss me.”

Roderick let out a chuckle at Mason’s words, until he realized he was being 100% serious. He choked on his last laugh and looked at Mason a bit dumbfounded. “Oh.” He mumbled out, his eyes going wide. That was the last thing he ever expected to hear coming from him. “I thought you said those kinds of feelings didn’t expand past your dream about me, McCarthy…” he said, his face going a light pink color. “And no…I will not kiss you. Sorry to burst your bubble, bud.”

“Why are you starring at me like that?”

But it’s okay, cause so am I honestly.

“What do you mean you lost the ring?!" 

I wanted to do a McHayward thing for this. But couldn’t because they done got married already. So… Like… idk I tried really hard.

Roderick opened his mouth to say something, however words were unable to be verbalized, so he just closed it again. By the look on Mason’s face, he could tell her probably looked like a major idiot right now. How could someone lose something of such value as easily as Roderick had with this. “I didn’t lose it…. per say. Just… misplaced it.” He blurted out fast. With the way Mason’s face distorted, he knew it probably wasn’t safe to stay very close to him. So, Roderick turned and speed walked out of the room. Deciding it was a good idea to go search for the ring before the ceremony started. 

"Why are you in a wedding dress?”  BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Roderick turned and looked at Mason, his eyes going wide as he shook his head quickly. “I… I have a good reason for it.” He said, holding his hands up in defense. “Marley and I are trying to find a Halloween costume and… and… I don’t really know what to say actually.” He said, trailing off and dropping his arms at his side. “Now… do you think you could unzip me?” 

“You can’t spend the rest of your life with someone you don’t love.”

[TEXT]: Did you think I wouldn’t find out? [Rod]: I was kind of hoping you wouldn’t until I wanted you to.[Rod]: Can we just pretend that it never happened, please?[Rod]: There’s already enough annoying tension between us, more of that crap will just make everything harder... please...

1. Mason pissed him off about something (I think this was right after the pregnancy argument) and Roderick wanted to text him a long message calling him out bullshit but decided not to stir the pot.

2. Roderick was taking Madison out to see a Broadway show and wanted to know her favorite musical. He was about to message Mason about it but he was still slightly annoyed with the kid and decided to just wing it instead of talking to Mason.

3. When he first moved into the building. He kinda just wanted to make friends but was too awkward to actually attempt that so he didn’t. He’s a giant loser.

4. After he first found out that Mason was seeing Jane. He wanted to text him and to the whole “threatening big brother-type act” but then decided he’d rather just be passive aggressive about everything and didn’t.

5. I think there was a point in time where I wanted to have him smoke pot with Mason. And was gonna have him text Mason and be like “bruh, weed?” but then Roderick and I discussed it and decided it was better not to because he’s still a child at heart and weed will just confuse him more than he already it confused about everything. Imagine Roderick trying to cook while high hahahahah that would be fun.

Roderick paused and looked up at Mason from where he was sat on the floor; baby in his lap. “But... like... isn’t that how they learn to crawl and stuff?” He asked, stopping to think for a moment. In that moment he was starting to wish Madison hadn’t left him in charge of the kid for the night. Having Mason around was probably a good idea, so that way if anything went wrong there was two people to blame. “Is that not how that works?” He asked, getting up from the floor; child held awkwardly in one of his arms.

Roderick slowly turned his head to look at Mason sitting next to him. That had come out of no where, honestly, and took Roderick back a bit. They were sat in the living room in the twin’s apartment. It was silent, for the most part, but there wasn’t much awkwardness to it. Just simply Roderick and Mason not having anything to say to each other. That was until Mason stated that. 

Looking him over for a moment, Roderick debated how to go about responding to that. “I do sometimes, yes. But... it’s not exactly something I like to dwell on. There’s a million possibilities that something like that could happen. Every day you wake up is another day you could possibly die. But to spend your time focusing on that will cause you to miss too much of the life that’s going on around you.” Roderick said, giving a shrug of his shoulders. “Instead of thinking about that, think about the amazing fiancee you have and the future that’s ahead of you, okay? It’ll lessen the anxiety about that other stuff.”

I giggled at “star thingy”

Roderick slowly nodded his head, letting out a sigh. “Have a seat.” He said to Mason, motioning to the sofa . The two of them took a seat and sat in silence for a moment as Roderick tried to completely gathered his thoughts. Mason had said something about Jane’s father, which was a major no-no; something Roderick was fully aware of. With the way Jane reacts to something like that she could make even the most confident of people feel bad. And lets face it, Mason wasn’t. He was the type of person who would beat himself up over the littlest thing. So, it made sense that the kid was upset over it still.
