this belongs in the same universe as 'tinder boy', a one-shot i wrote awhile ago. this will make sense even if you haven't read it.

merry christmas eve cutie

Mitch instantly blushed at the text, and practically felt it deepen as a picture came a moment later. It wasn't a selfie like he had gotten used to, but instead was a picture clearly taken by someone else. Mitch admired the way his Christmas and dark jeans sweat fit his body, and god he looked even more fantastic since the last time he saw him.

😍
oh and i guess merry christmas eve to you too

have any amazing plans for tomorrow?

uh
unless you count sleeping and binge watching christmas movies all day then no

didn't u say ur family was visiting or something

not for another couple days

what about kirstin?

she's busy too
don't want to completely infringe although i'm not completely sure she'd mind
she still calls you tinder boy btw

sorry cutie
and i think i can live with that tbh

its alright
i can handle a christmas alone

Mitch sighed after a few minutes minutes ticked by and no response came from Scott. Which, okay, it happened occasionally here and there, but this time it just seemed to make Mitch a little more disappointed. Just as those thoughts crossed his mind tho, a couple of texts came through.

believe it or not i don't have plans either
if you'd rather not be alone i could entertain you
maybe take you out on an actual date

do you really want to do that?

of course

then i guess its a date
