Mason didn’t look at Gavin and see a man who lacked confidence It wasn’t that, but he never held himself quite as tall, never spoke with as much authority as he did when he spoke aboutthat he loved so , but he’d never loved anything the way Gavin so clearly lovedthat with him, wanted to see Gavin in his eles for their day Then Gavin got ready, and less than forty-five minutes later they were on their way to Boulder

The ride was different than the first one they’d taken, the conversation comfortable the way it hen you really start to know soht over what to listen to in the car, and Gavin told Mason he had shit taste, when really Mason couldn’t care less what they listened to He just liked to get Gavin riled up

Music already filled the air when they got to the concert

"I got it," Gavin told him when they ht two tickets

Mason waited until the tickets were purchased before he spoke "I didn’t pay for you ent skydiving"

"So?"

"See, now I feel like an asshole" Mason nudged him with his arm as they walked inside

"Don’t I did it because I want to Plus, that was before"

Mason quirked a brow at him "Before what?" He knew exactly what Gavin lanced over at Gavin and nudged hiain He crossed his arms but wouldn’t look at Mason It didn’t surprise hiesture, but wasn’t really needed "Just because we’re fucking doesn’t mean you have to buy my concert ticket"

"Is it a problem that I wanted to?" This time Gavin did look his way

It had been different with Isaac Despite the fact that they’d been together for so long, they didn’t really do things like that Sure, if the faht pay, but Mason could tell it was different for Gavin It was new and soht for a h the sea of people The closer they got the louder they had to speak "Nah, not a probleht like that you want to date h his hair and gave Mason a small nod "Yeah, okay I can handle that"

Funny, after all the shit that went doith hiet involved with someone It had been a little over three months since he and Isaac had permanently broken up They’d cooled off when Mason moved to Blackcreek, which hadhim buy his bar easier But since he told hiood, just a quarter of a year
