An Unfortunate Turn For The Better

Chapter 14

Mitch's pov

Woah. Did he just say that he loves me. What kind of love? Like best friend love or more? We haven't really talked about that yet. I mean we act like boyfriends and he did say he's been thinking about it for 7 years or so. Should I ask him about it? Is it too soon? I start speaking before my mind stops me. "Scott? What are we?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well we act like we are boyfriends but neither of us ever actually asked each other out... So what are we?"

"Well I don't know. I would like to maybe be your boyfriend? But I know that you just got out of a long relationship and you're hurting so I don't want to pressure you."

I grinned. "I think I would also like to be your boyfriend."

His face lit up and his smile was bigger than its ever been before. "So we're a thing? Scömíche is real?"

"Haha I guess so, but keep it on the down low for now."

"And this doesn't change anything between us. We're still bestfriends."

"And we always will be."

I don't think I could be happier right now. I don't care about what happened earlier, I don't care that Travis moved on so fast because you know what? I've moved on too. But I've moved onto something real, something I have wanted for as long as I can remember.

Scott's pov

So we are a thing. We are a couple. This is happening. Everything I've ever wanted since I was 16 years old. All the pieces are falling into place and my life is about 8 million times better because of the last minute. I wonder how long he has wanted this. I doubt he has wanted it longer than me. None the less, it's happening.

I moved closer to Mitch, my new boyfriend, and enveloped him in a hug. I loved everything about this boy, even what he calls his flaws, he's perfection.

I was the one to break the silence, "I want you moved in here as soon as possible."

"Trust me," he scoffs, "you're not the only one."

"I think I'm going to grab your stuff from the other apartment." I offered.

"By yourself?"

"Unless you really want to come."

"I think I should, we don't want you getting in any trouble now do we?" What does he mean by that?

"Huh?"

"Scott. You know you have slight anger issues. And you know that you're sort of insanely protective over me. Those two plus Travis equals disaster. I'm coming." Okay, fair point. I guess he's right. I somehow find it easier to stay calm when he's there by my side.

"Alrighty then."
