After dinner, Avi said something about wandering down to the lobby just to see what they had in the hotel, which Travis agreed was a great idea.
Obviously, Kirstie wanted to go.
Todrick decided he just needed to get out of this room to get his thoughts together, which also meant Kevin was going.
Thus, leaving Alex, Mitch and Scott in the hotel room.
Four of the five that were going down to the lobby all waited for Avi in the hallway.
Avi grabbed Mitch's chin roughly, forcing their eyes to meet. "Not a single word. Just because I'm not here doesn't mean anything. Do you understand me?"
Mitch nodded exaggeratedly.
And then Avi walked out of the room abruptly.
Mitch plopped down on the bed beside where Alex and Scott laid down to watch a movie.
Scott had already stripped down to his boxers, and Alex just had his underwear and a shirt on.
Mitch stripped down like Scott, and then walked over to him, expecting attention.
Scott continued speaking to Alex though, which caused Mitch to pout and get up, resituating himself to sit on Scott's back.
Scott and Alex were both laying on their stomachs, and when Mitch got comfortable on Scott's back, he heard a few things pop.
Scott groaned at the feeling.
Alex frowned at him. "That's definitely from too much stress."
Scott shrugged, tilting his head a little to the side to pop his neck as well.
Mitch frowned underneath the tie, and patted Scott's back so he'd pay attention.
Scott tried to turn a little to see Mitch's face, but failed. "Sorry, baby. I forgot you hate that. Why are you sitting up there? Wait, don't answer. You'll get into trouble."
Mitch continued to pout, looking to Alex with watery eyes.
Alex sat up quickly. "Uh oh... Mitchie, don't cry. Aw, please don't cry."
Scott tried harder to turn over this time, flipping himself over, so that Mitch was straddling his hips now.
Scott sat up as much as he could to kiss Mitch's forehead. "Are you upset that you can't speak?"
Mitch nodded.
Alex reached out and held Mitch's hand. "Aw, it's okay Mitchie. It'll be like charades!"
Mitch shook his head in disagreement.
Scott concentrated on Mitch's face, trying as hard as he could to figure out what Mitch wanted to say.
Alex got a little closer to Scott to reach forward and set his hand on Mitch's shoulder. "It's not so bad. It won't even last that long."
Mitch raised an eyebrow at him, and Scott smirked because at least he knew what that one meant.
Alex's smile faded a little. "You don't believe me? Or.. You're mad at me? Or.. Um. I.. I don't know! You just look mad."
Mitch turned the same expression to Scott, who just chuckled. "He isn't mad. He's just irritated. Talking is one of his favorite things to do. And it's been taken from him."
Alex stared at him. "That sounds like mad to me."
Scott watched out of the corner of his eye as Mitch yawned and rubbed one of his eyes at the same time.
Alex stopped talking, noticing the same thing.
Scott rubbed a little circle into the side of Mitch's leg. "Uh oh. Baby's tired."
Mitch nodded sleepily.
Scott laid down in their bed, slipping under the covers and then motioning for Mitch to do the same.
Alex got up and stood awkwardly by the side of the bed.
Scott put an arm around Mitch before noticing Alex. He lifted the blankets on the other side of himself. "C'mere, Xander."
Alex's face lit up and he joined them in the bed, staying a few inches away from Scott.
Scott put his other arm over Alex, and pulled him a little closer, hoping to keep him content in the absence of his Alpha. "Don't be scared. I don't bite."
He leaned closer to Alex's ear, whispering just to make him laugh. "Usually."
Alex laughed loudly, but Mitch smacked Scott's shoulder.
Scott turned to him and made a noise of pain. "Don't hit me. Geez, Mitchie, I was kidding. I forgot how jealous you get."
Mitch raised an eyebrow at him, seemingly unamused.
Alex had already almost fallen asleep, Scott could feel him getting a little heavier on his side.
Scott leaned forwards and kissed Mitch's forehead. "I love you, baby. I love you so much. And I miss your beautiful voice. And Morning Mitch won't be nearly as fun if you can't talk. But we'll get you through this punishment, okay? And then things will be better. "
Mitch tried to lay himself on top of Scott, but with Alex on the other side, he had to settle for only being half on top of him.
Scott held them both as close to him as he could, trying to keep Mitch's jealousy and Alex's needs at a balance.
Both Omegas fell asleep quickly, but Scott stayed awake and watched the movie that was still playing.
Travis was the first one to come home, probably worried about Alex.
Scott made eye contact with him when he walked in, and he gently poked Alex to wake up, but Alex just pouted at him, barely cracking open one eye.
Scott rolled his eyes fondly and slipped himself out from under Mitch to stand up and pick up Alex to carry him into the other room where Travis and Alex's bed was.
Travis stripped down a little, putting a pair of shorts on over his boxers before climbing into bed with Alex.
Alex instantly grabbed Travis' arm and closed his eyes again.
Travis glanced up at Scott before Scott left. "He behaved himself?"
Scott smiled and nodded. "Always does. I don't think I've ever seen him do something wrong, and you guys come around all the time. It's amazing."
Travis smiled widely and kissed the top of Alex's head. "Good. Thank you for looking after him."
"Literally not a problem at all. He's so easy to take care of."
Kevin and Todrick walked in then, Todrick on Kevin's back.
Scott walked over and glared at them, hands on his hips. "Todrick."
Todrick just smiled, arms around Kevin's neck and legs around Kevin's waist. "What?"
"I believe Kevin is supposed to be on a bed rest kind of thing."
Todrick's eyes widened and he jumped down, making eye contact with Kevin. "Oh my goodness, I completely forgot! You seemed so normal! I am so sorry! Are you okay?"
Kevin smiled at him and put a hand on Todrick's shoulder before leaning forward and kissing his forehead. "Please. You barely weigh a thing."
Todrick looked down at the ground with a small smile, and then turned to Scott. "I'm so sorry, Sir. I'll never be so careless again. I can't believe I forgot. If he's at all more hurt than he was before, I take full responsibility."
Kevin smiled though, and put his arm over Todrick's shoulders. "Alpha, I promise I'm fine. But I think I'm going to go get some sleep."
Scott nodded and watched them walk into the other room.
Scott shook his head at them, and then walked over to his own bed.
Mitch was laying there glaring at him, and Scott chuckled as he laid down. "Man, I wish I could hear whatever sassy phrase you're holding onto right now."
Mitch just kept glaring at him.
Kind of like an annoyed cat.
Scott put his arm around Mitch and kissed his forehead. "I'm sorry I left, if that's why you're mad. Just had to get Alex back to bed."
Mitch sighed, and then cuddled into Scott's warmth.
