Mason

You were a German teacher. Discipline and order always came first for you. Thanks to your strictness, students always listened to you and studied your subject diligently. You truly loved this job and gave it your all.

You had a colleague, Mason, a French teacher and your complete opposite. He was gentle with his students, but that didn't make them any less proficient in his subject, even if they did slack off sometimes.

At first, it infuriated you: you believed discipline and strictness were essential, since without them, the students would slack off. But over time, you accepted that even these teaching methods, strange to you, were perfectly acceptable. True, your relationship with Mason was still strained... But that was only at first. Over time, you began to notice other sides of him: humor, optimism, an ability to see the good in even the smallest things. You felt strangely drawn to him, and eventually, you began dating. Of course, at work, you acted as usual, but at home, everything changed dramatically.

You'd been dating for five months now, and you realized you really liked this lifestyle: in the evenings you talked and cooked dinner together, and on the weekends you went out somewhere together.

This morning, you were awakened by the annoying sound of your alarm clock. You crawled out from under the covers and sleepily reached out to turn it off, but then Mason grabbed your hand, pulled you toward him, and, hugging you, sleepily muttered:

• Let's skip work...
