Different

Chapter Twelve

"Mitch, don't you ever feel that," Scott replied, shaking his head. The Omega sighed sadly to himself as he looked away. "You should never feel like that and you especially should not have to feel like you're used to it."

"But I am," Mitch backed up, feeling his heart beat heavily. He sighed and then sat down. "Scott, I'm tired. I want to go to bed."

Scott nodded as the Omega laid down, falling asleep in an instant. The Alpha sighed as he went into the bed himself, watching the Omega breath slowly. The long lashes Mitch owned only made him look more innocent and pure than he already was and Scott smirked to himself.

"Scott, do you promise to love me forever?"

"Forever and forever, baby."

Scott fought off the tears he knew that we about to come. Forever and forever used to be his and Alex's thing. Alex pointed out that he felt like 'forever and ever' only met a little bit because ever to him felt like a shortened amount of time so they began to say forever and forever. Scott finally let the tear escape, wishing that Alex was still here.

"Forever and forever, baby."

Mitch woke up, jumping out of bed excitedly. He didn't know why, but he felt like today will be a good day. He smiled at Avi and Kevin who were discussing something that is of upmost importance.

"Whatcha two doing?" Mitch asked innocently, bouncing on his toes. Avi then smiled at him and turned around to answer his question.

"We're planning Scott's birthday party but shhh," Avi replied quietly, putting his finger to his mouth. Mitch repeated his actions, widening his eyes a bit. "It's a surprise."

Mitch nodded as Kirstin came in, smiling at the Omega. The both of them shared a hug, feeling comfort in each other's arms. The female Beta then let go and sat in Avi's lap, kissing him on his forehead.

"What is this?" Kirstin asked, lolling at a long list. "Is it important?"

"It's for Scott's birthday party," Kevin answered, smiling at Kirstin. She returned it and they both jumped when Mitch shushed Kevin. "Mitch, what did I do?"

"The birthday party is a surprise," Mitch pointed out. Kevin became confused and finally nodded when he made the realization of why Mitch said that. "You weren't supposed to know, Kirstin. It's a surprise for a reason."

"Mitchy," Kevin began, getting Mitch's attention. He tried not to laugh as he began to explain. "The surprise us for the person that is having the party. Everybody else could be informed of it."

"Oh," Mitch responded, nodding his head slowly. He then made another confused look, thinking deeply. "Then why is it called a surprise party if only one person is surprised? Aren't surprises meant for anyone?"

"I...I haven't thought about it like that," Avi muttered, widening his eyes. Kirstin rolled her eyes as kissed Avi's forehead. "It's true, babe!"

"It's for the person of honor, love," Kirstin rebutted, backing up the previous information. She laughed when he frowned at her response. "It's not rocket science, babe. Even though I did a paper on rocket science back in Beta school."

"I remember doing that," Kevin thought out loud. He smiled happily at the thought of it. "I got an A+."

"Lucky," Kirstin frowned as she shook her head. She stared at the ground sadly. "I got an A-."

"I can't even open a pickle jar," Avi spoke up. Mitch laughed as he nodded in agreement. "I can't even spell my own name at times."

"I just don't know how to spell...or write," Mitch joked, smiling when everyone laughed sadly. "It's true though!"

"Just always look at the bright side," Kirstin told him, winking. She then looked at her watch and frowned slightly as she stood up. "Kevin, we got to go. We need to take yet another test."

"Ugh, okay," Kevin replied as he stood up. He then put the ideas of Scott's birthday in his wallet and walked towards the door. "We need to write a six page essay on the pros and cons on the ranking system and provide information that has dates back in the 1880s. I hope I studied well enough."

"You can name every town in the state of California," Avi rebutted, hearing Scott's door open. The Lead Alpha then walked into the room, nodding hello to everyone in there. "I'm pretty sure that you can write a six page essay."

Kevin shrugged his shoulders and waited for Kirstin to go. After giving a kiss to Avi, the female Beta was ready to leave. The Betas then left, leaving the Alphas and Omega by themselves. Avi then stood up, looking at his watch.

"Well, I've got to go somewhere myself," Avi began, grabbing his keys. Scott nodded as the Alpha left. "If you need anything, just holler."

"Just leave," Scott demanded playfully, laughing when Avi stuck his tongue out. The other Alpha them left, leaving Scott and Mitch by themselves. "Do you want to do something?"

"Could we watch The Little Mermaid?" Mitch asked shyly, smiling when Scott nodded. The Omega laughed happily as he ran to the movie shelf, getting the movie out instantly. Scott watched the mannerisms and couldn't help but smile.

He is too sweet. I can't ever stay mad at him.

~~~

After watching the movie five times and singing Part of Your World off-key, off tempo, and even off rhythm, Mitch finally fell asleep. Scott smiled when he saw that the Omega accepted slumber. The Alpha then picked up he smaller male, carrying him to the room they shared. Scott tucked the Omega in, smiling happily.

"You're so amazing," Scott whispered, looking down at the sleeping Omega. "You deserve everything."

"Scott, stop. You're the amazing one."

"Allie!"

"No."

"You're amazing though! You're amazing because you have me."

"I love you, my Scarecrow. Forever and forever."

"And I love you too, my Dorothy. Forever and forever."

Scott fought off the tears as he left the room,  closing the door silently. He walked into the living room, cleaning up today's mess. After a few minutes of putting everything away, he took a deep breath and sat down, closing his eyes. The door was then opened loudly, scaring Scott. He looked to see Avi, Kevin, and Kirstin worried out of their minds.

"What's the matter?" Scott asked as they came in. Kirstin looked at him and began to cry heavily, shaking her head. "What happened?"

"Someone wants to see Mitch," Kevin admitted, shaking his head. He took a deep breath and shook his head. "We can't make her see him."

"Who's she?" Scott asked, looking up at Avi. The other Alpha stared at the ground, shaking his head. "Avriel, tell me!"

Avi then nodded, feeling his heart break. Why did this happen to Mitch? What did ever do to deserve this? Avi took a deep breath, afraid of Scott's reaction.

"Nel Grassi wants to see Mitch."
