Kevin.

The next day, Adam seemed to glow and he was much quicker to smile and laugh at dumb jokes than usually. His beautiful eyes held so much more life and happiness than before and I found myself loving the change, but of course, something, or rather someone, was dragging the mood down.

"Did they really have to take both of my Daddies away?" Mitch whined for the what felt like the hundredth time as he lay draped across his bed with one leg on my lap, efficiently preventing Adam from getting close to me. 

Since both Avi and Scott had been taken into solitary confinement Mitch demanded constant company and people surrounding him to keep him entertained. Usually, Austin split his group up so Mitch would always be around someone, but I was still there too and therefore, had Grassi-duty with Adam.

I was the only free individual somehow affiliated with Mitch's group, because although Adam and I had sex on a regular basis Austin didn't feel like taking me under his wings. That was okay for me since I got a lot better along with Avi and Scott than with most of Austin's people.

And although I liked Mitch, he was unbearable separated from his 'Daddies'. It felt like all he did nowadays was either whine or make people uncomfortable and he had seemingly lost all of his serpent-like behavior I had noticed the first few times we talked.

"Yes, Munchkin, they had to. It's called a punishment," I explained calmly for maybe the seventh time already and Adam chuckled from his place at the corner of Mitch's bed. Somehow Mitch's brain must've turned to mush because that bored little boy with his feet in my lap didn't even come close to his usual demeanor. "Remember, they almost killed a man."

"But they did it for me," Mitch pouted and crossed his arms over his chest. His answer sent shivers down my spine at how casually he thought it was normal that people killed for him. He twisted around for a bit until he had his feet on the pillow that probably belonged to Rob and held his head up supported by his hands.

"You could be a daddy, too," he said, but his voice was barely above a whisper and he stared directly at Adam. A smirk had formed on Mitch's face and the sudden change had me shifting on the bed until Mitch's hand clawed at my thighs to keep me in place. "Avi used to complain that you could fuck with Foust, but he couldn't."

Mitch turned around to lay on his back and put his head in my lap before he pushed himself slightly upwards until his back rested on my thighs but his head hung down. Amused, he watched Adam, whose face had lost all its color as he frowned and looked from Mitch to me and back to Mitch. I was completely helpless and just watched what was happening with my mouth hanging open.

"Wouldn't you like to be my new Daddy until I get the other ones back? You're so fitting for the role I mean you're blond like Scott, you have long hair like Avi and you're neither too tall nor too short," Mitch reached out to tug at Adam's jumpsuit and even managed to get a hold of it although Adam held some distance between the bed and himself. "Everybody knows what an easy fuck you are."

Adam winced and turned his head away in shame before he slapped Mitch's hand away from him and maybe it was unnecessary, but my hand slipped too and hit Mitch square across the cheek. I ignored his shocked expression and instead pushed him off me to get to Adam, whose bottom lip had started to tremble until he bit on it.

On instinct, I engulfed Adam in a hug and waited for him to press his head against the crook of my neck before I shot Mitch another angry stare. How dare him. Wasn't he aware that Adam and I were in a relationship or had he tried to purposefully hurt my lover to scare him away?

"Oh dear, should I have asked for a threesome instead?" Mitch lifted an eyebrow and went to sit properly on the bed before he crossed one leg over the other. "I forgot, you're just as used to threesomes as I am."

"Will you just shut up!" I demanded from Mitch as calmly as possible while Adam clawed at my scrubs until his knuckles turned white and his frame began to shake with heavy tremors running through him. "Don't say things like that anymore, please."

Maybe I should've reacted differently, maybe I shouldn't have hit Mitch and maybe I should've ripped his tongue out, but I couldn't bear to hear any of the things he said to my precious Adam, who was thankfully not yet crying but seemed too close to it. 

"Okay, okay, hunty. I'm sorry," Mitch lifted his hands in defeat and gave me a weird open mouthed smirk that had me doubting his every word. "I'm gonna be nice to your plaything."

Of course, he didn't mean it and maybe he was just weird because Scott and Avi weren't there with him, but I couldn't stand to hear his voice any longer! I flipped Mitch off and dragged Adam out of the cell with me, making the isolation Mitch's punishment.

Outside of the cell where Austin and his group seated. They seemed to have nicked Grassi's set of cards and were now playing one of these fun games I didn't understand because they were changing the rules with every new round.

"Let me guess, he was unbearable rude again?" Tim noticed us first as Adam and I walked towards the group and gave us a somewhat sorry smile. We probably weren't the first that Mitch lashed out at, I guessed from the knowing looks Chris and Rob gave us. Only Austin seemed to be unaffected by Mitch's behavior or at least, he didn't show it, seeing as there would be huge problems, if the leads of the cell block would just shout at each other.

"Could've ripped his tongue out," I answered with a chuckle as I sat down next to Rob while Adam slumped down next to Chris on the other side of the table. Adam still looked miserable and although Chris noticed that he didn't give his brother more than a pat on the back and a worried glance.

"Very nice, Olusola, but I suggest before you do that, you help your friends pack," a very familiar voice chimed in from behind me with the usual mix of snark and boredom. I turned around to Summers, but literally nobody else on the table even acknowledged his existence. "Bad enough that I have to escort you all the time, I'm not going to pack your boyfriends underwear for you, understood? Same goes for you, Foust."

Only then did the others look up and Tim seemed as if he had just seen Summers for the very first time. Summers clapped his hands together and might've been about to shout something, but before that he was polite enough to explain the situation to the very confused Tim and Adam.

"We're changing some things up you and Foust are going to change cells, congratulations and now move," he yelled at Adam, who jumped up immediately and ran to his cell. Tim, on the other hand, took all the time he needed to get up as slowly as possible before he strolled over to our cell.
