Danny’s POV 

“So, Mason and Devon are teaming up?” 

Asher sighed, “I mean they are both being lovesick bastards, Mason has been whining about fucking up you two’s relationship, and knowing Devon, he’s trying every trick other than talking to me.” 

I chuckled and rolled my eyes, “And Mason actually wants to apologize? Like genuinely? Not because you told him he needs to.” 

“He does need to if he wants to stop whining his ass off and saying, ‘why did i have to ruin it with the one person i loved,’ and shit like that, he does want to apologize, he’s just a pussy and needs my help.” 

“And that explains why I'm in here, how?” 

“Me and him got detention, and i know damn well he’s going to drag Devon, assisting him in trying to fix this shit, so you stay here, Mason will apologize, and i will deal with Devon, see if he has the guts to admit what he did was shitty,” The bell rang as he finished, “You stay in here, wait for Mason, and I’ll make sure Devon doesn’t enter, Okay?” 

I nodded, just as Asher snuck out, hiding in the blind spot behind the door. 

Mason walked in with Devon, but Devon got pulled away by Asher, so just Mason came in. 

The second he noticed me, his eyes widened, “Danny you got detention?” 

“Nope, and they don’t really check who is or isn’t supposed to be here. Come sit,” I gave him a forced smile, and gestured to the seat in front of me. 

His nervousness reminded me of someone entering a job interview. “So, um... hi Danny,” it was adorable. 

“Are you going to apoligize or am i here for nothing?” 

He hesitated, his eyes focusing on the table separating us. “Let me explain first, Danny.” 

“Explain then, explain why the fuck you hurt me,” my words were harsh, i knew that, i saw how his eyes widened, then his face fell. 

“Hurting you was never my intentions, Danny, I-” I saw how the words caught in his throat, “I love you Danny, i really do, yes i was with you because of the bet, but that isn’t the only reason. I do actually love you, and it was shitty of me to even be involved in the bet, it was just the only way i was going to have the guts to admit that i love you.” 

I looked away, “Mason, I want to believe you. I really want to, but i don’t want to risk getting hurt. I need you to prove that you won’t hurt me, I can’t forgive you if you will hurt me again, even accidentally. I don’t want to get hurt again.” 

Mason nodded, “I’ll try to prove it Danny, I won’t hurt you, i don’t care how long it takes to prove it, I will get you to forgive me Danny. I love you,” He slowly stood from his spot and walked towards me, a soft caring smile on his face. 

“I hope you're telling the truth, Mason,” He pulled me up from my chair and hugged me. I just put my head into his chest, i could feel tears forming in my eyes. 

He moved one of his hands just below my chin, tilting my head up to look at him, “Danny, I promise, I love you,” He used his other hand to wipe away the tears that fell. 

It didn’t help though, i still ended up crying more, and he wiped the tears every time, i wasn’t full on sobbing, just the kind of crying where tears roll down every few seconds, i just put my head back at his chest, letting his shirt absorb my tears. 

I heard the door open, “How did it g- i swear to fucking god Maze, if you already fucked up aga-” 

Mason lifted my head again, this time he kissed my forehead, wiped the remaining tears, and whispered, “do you forgive me? At least a little bit?” I nodded, “Good.” 

I barely had a moment to react as his hands moved to my cheeks, a soft smile on his face, he pull me closer, and our lips met. 

I forgot how his lips felt, it hasn’t happened since the party. I missed him, more than I'd like to admit. He pulled away, “I love you, Danny.” 

I hesitated, but eventually spoke, “I love you too...” 

I turned towards the door, half expecting Asher to still be there, but he wasn’t. 

Mason looked at me, a soft smile plastered on his face, “How much you wanna bet Asher left to go kiss Devon?” 

I elbowed him, “No more betting on peoples love lives!” i laughed softly. 

“Hey, I was only betting on our love lives, and only once,” I elbowed him again, “I was going to give you half Danny, but you dumped me, so i didn’t get the money for it.” 

I rolled my eyes, “I hate you.” 

“No, you don’t, you love me,” I could see a flicker of fear in his eyes, like he believed me. 

I sighed, “Yes I love you,” I smiled softly at him as that flicker disappeared, “I love you a lot, I hate being mad at you.” 

“You’re not fucking with me? You’re not going to change your mind a week from now?”  

Mason was spiraling. “I promise, you’re my boyfriend, I won’t change my mind as long as you don’t change yours.” 

He smiled and kissed my lips again, a soft kiss, he pulled away after a few seconds. “Now, let's go find those lovebirds.” 

We exited the classroom, I looked to the left, and saw Devon getting pushed out of the bathroom, looking smitten. Behind him was a red-faced Asher, there were clear bites on his neck. 

“Jesus Ash, got some action, damn,” Mason was smirking, and i saw Devon laugh. Asher However was not amused and his face radiated with embarrassment. 

I looked at Devon and Asher, their outfits had clearly just been fixed. They had been- Jesus- the fucking school bathroom? Really? 

Mason whispered something into Devons ear, and instantly, he handed over $120 to Mason. Then Mason handed me $50, keeping $70 for himself.
