this account is now an archive.    mason is at @goodtruly.     all threads will be moved over there,    so if you have a thread for me and plan to continue it,   please tag my new url!

mason  wasn’t  wrong.       the  dread  doctors  chose  him  because  of  who  he  was  as  a  person,     but  that  wasn’t  mason’s  fault.        corey  was  never  going  to  see  it  that  way.       ❝    there’s  no  point  in  wondering,     mason.       you  are  a  good  person,    ❞     he  insisted,     brows  raising  slightly.        ❝    it’s  not  your  fault  if  someone  else  used  that.         there  was  nothing  you  could  have  done  to  stop  it.         isn’t  what  matters  what  you’re  doing  now?        you’re  still  a  good  person.       it  didn’t  change  that.        nothing  could  change  that  and  that’s  what  i  like  about  you.        you’re  good,     no  matter  what  happens.        i’m  not  worried  about  it.         i  just  want  to  make  sure  that  YOU  realize  that  too,    ❞     he  shrugged.        corey  didn’t  want  mason  to  DOUBT  or  to  worry.        it  was  all  over.        no  one  was  going  to  take  advantage  of  that  again  if  he  had  anything  to  do  with  it.        brows  furrowed  and  he  shook  his  head.        ❝    and  being  bad  catches  up  with  you  too,     so  it’s  better  to  be  too  kind.        at  least  you  help  people.        you  helped  me,    ❞     he  reminded  with  a  light  shrug.        ❝    someone  took  control  of  you  and  hurt  people.         but  you    —–    CONSCIOUS,     actual  you    —–    helps  people.       you  have  to  remember  that.    ❞       corey  couldn’t  stop  the  genuine  smile  that  spread  over  his  mouth  when  mason  told  him  how  strong  he  was.        he  didn’t  always  feel  like  it.        while  he  might  have  the  physical  strength,     he  was  often  shy  and  fearful  unless  the  circumstances  were  PERFECT.        it  was  rare  someone  told  him  that.        when  mason  did,     he  BELIEVED  it.        ❝    thank  you,     mason,    ❞     he  spoke  honestly.        he  meant  the  words  he  said.       HE  LOVED  HIM  with  all  his  heart.        this  was  someone  who  cared  about  him  when  he  felt  so  many  other  people  didn’t.        this  was  a  perfect  man  who  was  central  to  his  life  and  he  LOVED  him.        the  moment  lips  were  pressed  to  his,     corey  found  himself  taking  control  of  the  kiss  as  he  always  did,     pressing  in  firmer  with  more  PASSION  and  genuine  love.        a  gentle  hand  came  up  to  cup  mason’s  face,     thumb  brushing  over  his  cheek  as  he  pulled  away.       the  kiss  left  him  BREATHLESS     ;     it  always  did.        hearing  mason  say  the  words  back  to  him  made  his  eyes  shut,     ELATION  spreading  through  his  chest.        he  felt  WARM.       everything  felt  right.        ❝    you  do?    ❞     he  asked  with  almost  disbelief.        ❝    —–    i’ve  been  wanting  to  say  it  for  so  long.    ❞

whenever i have the free time,   i’m probably going to try to revamp this account.    new theme / new icons / new tags...    and probably a new account?     i’ve been struggling with this account and i really want to avoid moving mason back to my multi,     so i think a little bit of a fresh start might help.  +  tumblr itself does not like the existence of this blog and has been glitching af.     but when all that’s done,   i really want to get some more established connections with mason because everyone deserves a mason in their life :*

that was what had caught theo’s attention   —–   gabe was simply on the wrong side of things.      his desires had been twisted and corrupted the boy that lay underneath those.       he UNDERSTOOD.       that was what this all came down to with theo helping gabe:    it was understanding.       ❝   i know.      you think i would have taken his pain after he shot me if i didn’t realize that?       i do. he got caught up in shit and twisted and used.       maybe it comes back down to him and his beliefs and his fears,    but it was still used against him.       the people who were supposed to protect him ruined him.       wasn’t his fault.       not completely,   ❞    he mumbled.        theo felt that gabe made his own decisions,    but they were heavily,    heavily influenced    ;    he knew exactly what that was like.       eyes drifted back up to the human,    gaze steady on him and his features CALM.       ❝   me wanting to take your pain wasn’t even about me feeling GOOD about myself,    mason.       i didn’t care about that.       i just wanted to keep us alive.   ❞      but something about the other’s words caught him.       PRIDE.       ❝   yeah,    i mean   —–   it feels okay,   ❞    he shrugged.       ❝   i’m GLAD i did it and i wouldn’t change it.       i’m glad he died without pain.   ❞       he paused,    gaze dropping to the ground and shrugging.       ❝   i don’t know how i feel about it,    mason.        i haven’t exactly been raised by people who taught me that helping without getting something in return is a GOOD thing and i should feel proud of that.       so i don’t know how i should feel.   ❞
