Scott and Mitch had ate, the two deciding to bypass the questions and ate in Mitch's room. They found they shared a love of Spongebob, Mitch turning it before they began. Scott sat with his back on the headboard. Mitch took their plates and put them into the kitchen before coming back and crawling between his legs, leaning against him.

"That was good."

"Todrick's not only a drag queen, he's a damn good cook."

They stayed like that for awhile, just appreciating each other's company. Scott periodically ran his hands through Mitch's hair.

It was awkward, more so because they didn't really know how to start the conversation. This....whatever this was, started out so different and they weren't used to it. Mitch cleared his throat.

"Scott-"

"Mitch-"

"Is this where we leave, I drop you off, and I never see you again?"

Mitch pushed himself up and turned around, still sitting between Scott's legs. Scott chuckled and grabbed Mitch's head. He ran his thumb across Mitch's lip. "Mitch, I'm intrigued by you. From the moment I saw your poster, I...I had to know you. I'm not sure why you chose me bu-"

"I was told to. Usually though, I never actually choose the guys Todrick tells me to. There's was something about you though. He pointed you out when y'all sat down. I wasn't going to pick you until I saw your smile. I'm happy I did though."

"Really?"

"Oh yes, very happy."

Scott laughed and Mitch became mesmerized by the crinkles or laugh lines besides his eyes.

"I'm glad I could be of some assistance."

"You're beautiful."

"You are too. But to answer your question...no I hope not. I plan on getting to know you better, you falling in love with me, and one day making you mine."

Scott ran the back of his hand along Mitch's jawline. His features seemed to be carved by the Gods. His dark chestnut colored eyes glittering every time the sun hits them.

"I'd like that."

::::::::

Scott did not want to leave.  He spent about 4 hours at Mitch's. He hung out with Matt, he and Mitch talked; about little things, really. They found out they were both from Arlington Tx. and graduated from Martin High years apart. Mitch told Scott about his love of Broadway and how one night a week just to perfect his stage presence turned into him bringing home thousands of dollars and enjoying the good life.

The drive to Avi and Kevin's was peaceful. Scott resisted the urge to place his hand on Mitch's knee. They reached the small two bedroom house and Mitch cut the car off. Scott chuckled when he saw his friends snooping out the window. "Want to come in?"

Mitch bit his lip and nodded. He grabbed his purse. Scott got out and ran to open the driver side door after flipping Kevin and Avi off. He grabbed Mitch's hand and they walked to the door. Scott reached for the door but it opened revealing Avi and Kevin with stupid smiles on their faces.

"Scotty!"

Scott glared at them before placing his hand on Mitch's back, leading him into the house. First thing Scott noticed was the fact that all of his friends were still there. All of them with sickening smiles on their faces.

Esther jumped up and matched over to the pair before Scott ever had a chance to introduce Mitch. "Hey, I'm Esther."

Mitch looked at her with kind eyes, smiled, and shook her hand. "Mitch."

One by one Scott introduced him to everyone, ignoring the fact that most of them slipped into the kitchen. Avi told Mitch to get comfortable and he pulled Scott into the kitchen. Esther, Kevin, Tyler, and Nicole already waiting for them. They didn't speak, just smiled as he adjusted his shirt. Tyler cleared his throat.

"Well....you look refreshed."

Scott rolled his eyes as Nicole and Esther leaned in and smiled. "Scott, he's beautiful."

"I know." Scott smiled and blushed. However it fell the moment he looked up.

"What?"

"You like him."

"He must be special if you brought him home."

Scott looked out at Mitch playing a game with Esther and Darien's son, Myer. Myer would press the screen of his tablet and grin as Mitch made a big deal over his choice. "He is."

"So you gonna ask him out? I mean you already got the hard part out of the way." Scott turned to glare at Tyler as the rest of his friends laughed.

"Eventually. One day."

"Today. I gotta admit Scotty, you two do look good together."

Esther quickly stood straight like she remembered something. "Darien's birthday party is Saturday. Invite him. Mark and Mason will be there. Quick way to make him jealous and show you've moved on."

"I don't want to invite him to our crazy parties."

Mitch walked up behind Scott and without shame, wrapped his arms around the tall blonde. "What about a crazy party?"

Nicole smiled at them "too cute!"

Mitch blushed and laid his head on Scott's chest. As weird as it sounds, it felt natural to them. Like that's how they should stand whenever they were together. Scott zoned out a bit, enjoying Mitch's slender frame and how comfortable he was next to it. He came to hearing Mitch and his friends talk. He cleared his throat and looked down at the smaller man.

"Um....would you want to go? To the party."

"And miss the chance to be your plus one? Absolutely not. I'll go."

They smiled at each other and Scott tried to resist the pull. Mitch stood on his tiptoes and placed a small peck on Scott's lips. The both of them ignored the ooo's and awe's from the others in the room. Scott leaned down and kissed Mitch one more time. Mitch smiled and the sight alone almost took his breath away.

"Um, I don't want to but I have to go. Todrick and Kirstie will be pissed if I stayed any longer."

Scott pouted "hey stop that! I'll call you tonight."

Scott nodded and grabbed Mitch's hand. As Mitch said goodbye to Scott's friends, Scott selfishly pulled him outside.

"Hey! Not fair! I was telling all of my new friends bye!" Mitch smacked Scott's arm while giggling.

"Ok first of all, ow! Secondly, new friends?"

"Well yeah, if I'm going to be around for a long time, might as well make friends." Mitch grinned and Scott smirked.

"Already planning your future?"

"OUR future, blondie."

Scott raised his eyebrows, "don't you think it's too early to be planning our future?"

"Nope, not when I feel the way I do about you."

At this point, all of Scott's friends were staring at them through the windows.

"I'll be ready at 7:30. I already put my number in your phone so....call me."

Scott nodded and grabbed Mitch by the waist. Mitch wrapped his arms around Scott's neck and smiled. Scott leaned down and Mitch tilted his head up. Their lips met and just like the first time, sparks flew. Mitch moved his hand up and played with the soft hairs on the back of Scott's neck. The sound of a door opening forced them apart, Tyler falling out of the door ungracefully.

"Fuck! I'm sorry guys. I was being nosey."

Scott glared at him while Mitch laughed. "Bye Tyler. Scott, call me. I'll be waiting for you." He leaned up and pecked his lips one more time before walking away.

Tyler giggled. Scott shook his head. "That boy will be the death of me.."
