Mason mount imagines

Thief

Mason loved representing his national team, having the three lions stamped on his chest as 80,000+ fans sing and chant around him was one of the best feelings in the world. But although he loved it, he couldn't deny that he missed being in your arms. The cold hotel beds got lonely without you next to him, and despite not actually living together yet, Mason found himself wanting you more when he was away. & this time there wasn't any difference, making a promise to hisself that he would ask you to move in with him soon, not baring to be a part for much longer!

With the international duties not going to plan, the team scheduled an earlier flight to get the team home sooner much to Mason's delight. He knew he should have messaged you to let you know, but after missing you so much he wanted to make it a little more special. So instead of going back to his place, he decided to make a stop at yours. Your place wasn't as grand as his... instead of his 6-bedroom Chelsea mansion, you lived in a 1-bedroom apartment at the top of an old block of flats. Although the outside didn't look the warmest, Mason couldn't deny that you made the place as homey as you could. But he still didn't feel a 100% comfortable with you living there, that being another reason why he was so desperate to get you to move in with him.

Making his way up the long flight of stairs, he sighed checking the time a final time. It was 9pm, and although a lot of people would find that time early, he knew that you had just finished a long day of work so there's a chance of you being asleep! Mason hesitated for a minute as he complemented whether to continue his surprise or not... but despite being another flight of stairs away he already felt you near, he was to close now to give up.

After finally making it to your door, he kicked aside the little welcome mat to find your spare key. Whipping open the door, his heart skipped as he noticed all the lights off indicating that you were asleep. "Okay, Mason..." He whispered to his self "We're gonna have to be quiet now.." However his little pep talk didn't last long as he knocked over a vase, letting it shatter all across the kitchen floor "SHIT!"

Your eyes widen as you jolted up in bed, your body freezing as you heard footsteps and the sound of glass falling. Carefully getting out of bed, you pulled out a cricket bat you randomly had under your bed. Although you loved your apartment, you couldn't deny that it was unsafe, therefore you kept a bat underneath for times like now.

Creeping across the room, you poked your head out, quickly hiding once more as you saw a mysterious shadow lurking in the kitchen. "Okay (y/n)..." You muttered, taking a deep breath "You've got this..." Listening to your own words you slowly walked to the kitchen, breathe shaky as you quickly turned the corner, switching the light on to reveal your thief.

"AHHHH" you both screamed at the same time, Mason dropping a piece of the vase as it pierced his skin causing you to drop the bat in worry "MASON! WHAT THE FUCK!" you yelled, running up to him as you took his hand in yours examining it carefully. "Surprise?" He sheepishly grinned, wincing as you ran your finger carefully over the small graze on his hand checking how big it was.

Glaring at him you shook your head, leading him over to the first aid box in the cupboard. Sitting on the counter, you pulled him towards you so he was sitting in between your legs "What are you even doing here?" You sighed, a small smile on your face as you looked up at him. Despite being a tad mad that he snuck into your flat, you couldn't deny how much you missed being near him!
"My flight got changed..." Mason muttered, eyes staying on you cleaning his hand "I thought it might be romantic for me to surprise you but urmm...- I don't think it's gone to plan!"

Giggling you shook your head, placing a small plaster on his palm "You don't think... I thought you were a thief Mase!" Giving his hand a little kiss, you finally pulled him into your arms taking in his scent after weeks apart "I missed you tho..."

"I missed you too sweetheart!" Mason chuckled, kissing your neck sweetly "At least I now know you're well protected..." He laughed pointing over the now-abandoned cricket bat on the floor "Why do you even have that!?!"

"I always sleep with a cricket bat under my bed!" You said so matter of factly, causing a smirk to grow on Mason's face. "It's not the safest area here Mase... so I always keep it near me at night, just in case moments like this happen..."

"Have you ever had to use it before?" Mason asked, scared of your answer.

"Nahh" You shook your head, causing him to let a sigh of relief "and if I'm being honest I didn't think I'd have to nearly use it for the first time on my own boyfriend!"

"Well if you just moved in with me we wouldn't have this problem..." Mason blurted out, not even knowing what he had said until he saw your eyes go wide "You want me to move in with you?" You whispered, a smile tugging on your lips at the thought.

"I mean yeah!" Mason chuckled, pulling you closer "I hate not having you near me all the time, and I know my place is further away from your work but I can take you every morning... & besides it is much safer there! I hate the thought of you staying in this place... so please (y/n) move in with me?"

A huge smile appeared on your face as you leaped in his arms, kissing him repeatedly "I guess that's a yes then?" Mason laughed through the kisses as you pulled away nodding your head frantically. "Yes, Mason!" You gushed "Thank you... thank you... thank you..."
"If I knew you would be this excited to move in together I would have asked you alot sooner?" Mason laughed.

"I'm not excited to move in with you!" You giggled as his eyes grew wide "Your not?"

"Nope..." You smirked "I'm excited to have to sleep with a bat under my bed!"

"Your crazy!" Mason smiled, tugging you into him as he walked you back to your bed "How about we get some sleep Flintoff? Then in the morning, we'll get you packed up yeah?"

"Sound's like a plan!" You smiled, pecking his lips gently as you crawled into bed. You froze slightly as you realised that he wasn't getting in next to you instead you just looking at you up and down "What?" You quizzed, eyes going wide as he just smirked pointing to your... or should you say his hoodie "And you say I'm the thief?" He smirked causing you to roll your eyes.

"Shut up!" You giggled "Your going to have to get used to it Mr I'm going to have easier access to your wardrobe now!"

Climbing in next to you he pulled you into his chest "And I can't wait for it!"
