One always assumes they know their partner. That they understand their likes and dislikes. Their moods in sadness and happiness, the changes in their mere speech when they are upset or overjoyed. All that is understood by partners because they care about each. They find the other significant.
Mason had felt the same way. The moment he had the rush at the Christmas party to see Raina again. The fear that his being with Sapphire had pushed her away again, brought a realization to him and he ran off, looking for her. Je was ready to kiss her and get her to do the same to him. His feelings had grown stronger since the moment her tone went from frustrated to 'I'm okay with you around, I suppose'. Being involved with her for a week now, had him a little impatient. Shed asked for just a little bit of time to wrap her head around things and clarify herself before coming clean to him. Apparently, as much as he was ready to live with the secrets, even though they burdened his mind, that less was she prepared to hold back while being with him. That made him warm.

"I can imagine." Mason smirked.
"You look like you fight, boy." He pointed.
"Wrestler but for a couple years at school." The way Raina's head whipped around behind Carlos, made him realize that she didn't seem to even know who he was until this year.
"Thats for children. Literally." He cackled.
"Some people have better things to do." Raina sighed.
"Hey, Raven's been coming over. Asking about you."
