chapter 3: Taking Care of him

Alex's pov.                                                             After speaking to Mason on the phone,

I was suprised to hear Mason's voice but when he explained what happened with Dallas,I was a bit relieved that Mason was there for him,I wanted to break down but I knew I had to be there for my best friend, so I disconnected the call and quickly ran as fast as my leg could carry me to their room,when I got there what I saw shocked me to the bones, Dallas was lying on Mason's body and they were cuddling with each other and not wanting to let go.i stood there for some minutes for what felt like hours but they were in their own little world to notice me,I cleared my throat and finally they noticed me,Mason wanted to stand up to come and welcome me but Dallas wouldn't let him go,I internally smirked because I knew if Dallas comes back to his normal self,he would surely kill Mason and kill me also for letting me allow Mason to touch him. He gestured me to sit on the bed and then I broke the silence. "Thank you Mason for taking care of Dal even though he doesn't like you".I said to him.  He chuckled,smiled at me and said "He doesn't like me but then he still doesn't wanna let me go" he said pointing at Dallas. " But I like him like this being so cuddly with me rather than when he is being so sassy"he said hugging Dallas more closer to him self. " So are you ready to know why he is behaving like this?"I asked him I could see his curious eyes ."Yes, please do"He replied to him. "Though I am not gonna tell you all just a hint of what happened because I am not in the right place to tell you about him I don't want him to think I betrayed him by telling you"I saw as he frowned but he quickly replaced it with an understanding look. He replied telling me that he understood,I started telling him how Dallas was mistreated and how that made him turn into a little."Wow so he had to go through that,so does that have to do with his hatred for gays"he said staring back at Dallas who was glued on his body. " he turns into a little to relieve himself from any pain or sadness he is feeling,Yeah maybe it had to do with gays but I am not totally sure since he didn't give me all the details,but when he's ready to tell you he will"I said to him reassuringly."ok" that was all I heard from him,he went back to caressing Dal's cheeks who didn't even bother to look at me since I entered the room.After time of awkward silence,I told him I was on my way out since I had another class to attend he volunteered to escort to the door but I politely declined since my big baby best friend was latching on to him,I quickly gave him the list of drugs to buy for Dallas which he collected from my hands swiftly.I

waved him goodbye as I was already late for my class,he was really a good person to have as a roommate I wished he was my roommate I thought to myself as I went on to class.I collected Mason's number so I contacted him from time to time to check up on Dal's health but Mason told me he was still in his little space,the incident really shooked him he was never in his little space for more than one day.What a cruel twist of fate,the person he despises to the core was the one who saved him and was protecting him.I would make sure that if he comes around,he must go to Mason and thank him for taking care of him.The bell rang and I ran out of the class straight to the library because I heard we have a test the following day. I went back to Dal's dorm to give Mason the food I bought for them at recess, we chatted a bit about himself and also about myself.i was glad to know that even though I wasn't around to take care of my best friend,his roommate will do so for him. We were frequently disturbed by Dallas's blabbering,Mason got up to make his feeding bottle for him from the kitchen as I had explained all he would be needing during the period of his little space,I volunteered to help but he politely replied to me saying that I had already so much by bringing food for him and also staying with him.When I attempted to take Dal away from him so that he could go prepare Dal's food,he had already wrapped his legs around Mason's torso I immediately gave up seeing what he had done.After feeding Dal,I watched as Mason did things to make Dallas comfortable.He told me to bathe Dal and change him because he didn't want to cross his boundaries,I quickly understood it because I knew that my best friend was gonna create a big scene for Mason bathing and changing his clothes.If Dallas still treated Mason like before after he wakes up from his little space,I am gonna pull his ear and make him Squat hundred times before Mason. After some time,I stood up to finally go to my room after I saw my roommate's call on my phone,he must have been worried not seeing me after the class.i bidded good bye to both Mason and Dallas who were in the own little world.
