Don't Mess With Scott Hoying's Boyfriend

145

Scott leaned across the counsel and placed a kiss on the side of Mitchs forehead, "I'm right here for you, you don't have to be scared. I've never failed to protect you, have I?" Mitch shook his head, "And I'll protect you now. Don't be afraid, alright. I'm gonna be right by your side."

Mitch sighed, looking at Scott with his brows draw together, a look he gets when hes anxious. Mitch licked his lips, looking back at the house and then looking back at Scott with a more relaxed look on his face, "Okay, lets go in." Mitch said.

Scott smiled at him, "I'm so proud of you, Mitchie." Scott said, leaning forward, placing a soft kiss on Mitchs lips.

Scott got out of the car first, walking over to Mitchs side of the car and opening the door for him, Mitch got out of the car, his heals clanking on the concrete. Mitch walked on the right side f Scott, Scotts hand on the small of Mitchs back as he led Mitch towards the front door. Mitchs heart was beating hard inside his chest as they stopped in front of the door.

Scott looked at him, "Tell me when you're ready." He said, rubbing his hand on the small of Mitchs back.

Mitch licked his lips and nodded, "Just go ahead and knock, the more I stand here the more scared and anxious I get."

Scott nodded, kissing Mitch once more on the temple before knocking on the door, Mitch heard footsteps coming towards the front door, although he couldn't tell if it was footsteps or his heart beating inside his chest but either way, the door opened to reveal his mother standing there. Mitchs breath caught in his throat as he looked at her, she looked just fine with her hair and makeup done and a nice dress on. Scott just stood there, looking at Mitch and not moving until Mitch does because Scott can see the panic attack about to happen through Mitchs facial expressions. Scott continued to rub Mitchs lower back, trying to comfort him until he was ready to move or even just talk but when Scott saw Mitchs eyes start to water, he brought Mitch in for a hug, wrapping his arms around Mitchs lower back and shoulder blades.

"Shh Mitchie. Don't cry baby, okay. Okay? You're doing so good, don't cry." Scott whispered in Mitchs ear.

Mitch nodded his head against Scotts shoulder, sniffling and staying in Scotts embrace until his eyes dried up, thankful that no tears actually feel from his eyes.

Mitch pulled away and looked up at Scott, "Lets go inside." Mitch whispered.

Scott nodded and led Mitch inside, past his mother and into the foyer, taking Mitchs coat for him and hanging it on a hook by the door. Mitch saw his mom close the door out of the corner of his eyes and look at him. Mitch turned his head away from her and towards Scott. Scott smiled warmly at him, taking Mitchs hand and walking towards and into the living room.

Mitch sat down on the couch across from his grandparents, Scott sitting right next to him and setting a hand on Mitchs thigh. Mitchs mother sat across from them, right next to her mother and father (Mitchs grandparents) and listened in on the conversation Scott started up. Mitch looked down at his lap and listened to Scotts voice as he talked, Scotts voice soothing Mitch.

Nels eyes gravitated towards Mitch, he looks like hes changed so much in her eyes. Her eyes then shifted towards Mitchs ring finger then to Scotts ring finger, noticing the rings. Shes never seen the rings and finds herself disappointed that she didn't know Mitch may be married.

"Are you engaged?" She said, her first words to Mitch since he'd gotten here.

Mitch looked up, brows raised at her before looking down at his ring, smiling slightly, "No no, its a promise ring. Scotts promise to marry me."

Scott smiled at Mitch, "Yeah, I got them for us nine months ago, maybe even ten months ago."

"Thats when Mike died..." She said.

Scott quickly realized his mistake and was ready to make up some excuse when Mitch spoke up.

"Yeah, it happened the day after you and dad said I couldn't see him and apparently told him the same thing and obviously, I wasn't going to break up with him because we've been dating for two years then and... well we met up because I was upset and crying and having anxiety attacks and he was the only one who could really calm me down for those. And I loved him, love him. He said he wanted to continue to have a relationship with me and pulled out the promise rings and of course I said yes. And when we came home, we found out that dad had died."

Everyone was silent and Mitch realized that he shouldn't have spilled everything out like that but Mich was still angry at her and suddenly felt the need to open his mouth and say something but when he did, his mouth didn't close.

"Oh, well alright. Sorry I said something about it." Nel said, "I think I'm gonna go to the kitchen and cook." She said, getting off the couch.

Mitch sighed, "Mom." He said, getting up off the couch and walking after his mom, into the kitchen. Scott watched them go, staying in his seat to let Mitch and his mom talk it out.

Mitch walked in behind her, "Mom, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spilled all of that, I couldn't close my mouth once it opened I-.... I shouldn't have. I'm sorry,"

Nel waved her hand dismissively, "I kicked you out when I shouldn't have, I wasn't being a mom to you when I should've. I know you live with Scott now but I've missed you at home. I've missed my babyboy."

"Mom..."

"No, I know but I really want you back home."

"Mom, I live with Scott now and, I know this sounds like we're just young and in love but we're gonna get married and I truly believe that. I won't move out with him to come back home. He takes care of me, mom, I love him so much. He-he.. I can't even explain it! Hes so nice to me, hes so good to me, he treats me like I deserve the best man in the world and he is, hes the best man in the world for me. He spoils me, he loves me even when he hates me, and he protects me and hes always there by my side no matter what. I love him and I'm not leaving him."

"I love you too." He heard someone say behind him, turning around and seeing Scott standing behind him, Scott smiled at him, walking up to Mitch and setting his hands on Mitchs hips, leaning down and kissing him.

Scott pulled away, "Sorry, I wasn't going to come in here but I heard my name on the way to the bathroom and decided to be sneaky and listen in."

Mitch shook his head, giggling, "Thats okay, baby."

"Mitch?" Nel said, making Mitch whip around and face her, "You don't have to move back in with me, I fully support you and Scott but I do miss you and I am sorry."
