after a long day at work, i lay on my bed. i can't even bring myself to get up, im so exhausted. after a few minutes, i go into the bathroom and begin to run a hot bath, adding bubbles while doing so. i hear the door open, meaning mason is home.
i go downstairs to hug him , yet instead he pushes past me to go upstairs, leaving me confused. i head up stairs. as i open my mouth to speak, he slams the door on me.
"mason?" i asked, "are you okay?". i head closer to the door and open it slightly and walk in, seeing mason with his head in his hands. i sit next to him.
"what's wrong love?". "nothing i just want to be alone." mason responds. "surely there's something that's bothering you-" i get cut off with mason raising his voice at me. "just go away" he says stressfully, taking me by surprise. i head out the door and close it after i leave.
i walk into the bathroom and stop the taps from running. locking the door, i get unchanged and head into the bath. taking a few moments to think, why would mason be mad? i haven't done anything, well, i don't think i have. i shake it off and lead my head back on the bath to relax.
after awhile, i get out of the bath, wrapping my body with a towel before entering the second bathroom in the bedroom, passing mason on the way through. i lock the door and got changed into a flowery shorts and t shirt pajama set. after, i go into the bedroom to get my perfume and deodorant when i see mason laying down on his phone. i try not to make eye contact as i knew how stressed he was.
leaving the bedroom, i go into the kitchen to make myself a snack before bed. some shortbread cookies and strawberry milk did the trick. i sit on the couch and turn on netflix, clicking on sex education. mine and masons favorite tv show. i would've asked him to join me, but i knew he would've said no due to the mood he was in.
the episode had ended and i finished my snack before dumping it into the dishwasher to wash tomorrow. before bed, i go into the bathroom to brush my teeth and tie up my hair.
i leave the bathroom and head into the bedroom, mason still on his phone. i lay next to him.
"mason, will you tell me what's wrong?" i look at him, him not looking back at me. "no, i'm fine." he replies. "okay then, i'm going to bed now. goodnight" he ignores me as i turn off the lamp that was on the bedside table and close my eyes.
one hour later
it's been about an hour, and i still can't sleep. i open my eyes and look next to me, mason was just staring, staring at nothing. i close my eyes quickly as i see him stare at me. he goes under the covers and wraps his arm around me tightly. i open my eyes to see him staring back at me.
"are you okay?" i ask him, "yeah, yeah baby i'm fine. i'm sorry for coming in with such a bad mood. work made me really stressed today, couldn't really handle it well." i smile at him, "it's okay, everyone has bad days sometimes."
"i love you" "i love you too mason" we say before drifting off to sleep in each others arms.
