Don't Mess With Scott Hoying's Boyfriend

151

Light arm touches, 

Small smiles in the others direction,

Shyness,

Blushing every time they caught each others eye,

Laughing at the others dumb jokes,

and staring every chance they get.

No, this isn't about Scott and Mitch. If you thought people were majorly surprised to hear about a nerd and a jocky, football player being together, trust me, people were more shocked to see Avi Kaplan and Kevin Olusola hanging around each other every chance they got. 

Mitch noticed it when Kevin wouldn't stop talking about Avi when they went shopping for Christmas gifts. Kevin gushing about the schools second biggest playboy that's ever been at that school. 

Scott was having a bit of a hard time believing it. When Mitch brought it up to Scott, Scott was a little shocked to say the least, but when Scott got together with Avi and Scott asked about it, Avi wouldn't shut his mouth up about Kevin. 

"Oh my god, Mitch, they're legit in fucking love. How the hell did this even happen? When did this even happen?"

Mitch giggled, "Don't freak out too much, Kevin said that although he really likes him, he could never date Avi because of how much of a play boy he is."

Scott pouted, "But they like each other..."

Mitch shrugged, "Yeah, but how many girls did Avi say he liked but cheated on?"

Scott sat besides Mitch on the couch, "Yeah I guess you're right about that but... I don't know, I guess I just want Avi to fall in love like I fell in love with you. Like, I was down in deep, I wasn't even a freshman and was already sleeping around with whatever girls I could get my hands on and Avi is just like that. I was cutting and depressed and drinking a lot, a freshman boy. I knew you for a two months before we went out on our first date and through that whole time and throughout most of my freshman year, I treated you like property. I was still a scared little boy who was scared of how much he was falling in love with a beautiful boy. I didn't want to fall in love with you, even though you got me to stop drinking, to stop cutting, to stop sleeping around just so I could get you and even after that I didn't treat you like i should've, I treated you like shit and I-"

If there was one thing Scott degraded himself about, it was how shitty he treated Mitch in the beginning of their relationship. Mitch stopped him before he could go on any more, "Baby, baby stop it. Stop tearing yourself up like that, okay? Its been two years since you've treated me like that, these past three years with you have been the best years of my life. Even the first year we started dating, when I was fourteen and was stupid and didn't know what love was, I've never had better times in my life than with you."

Scott shook his head, "I'm sorry... I just-, Av is exactly like me and I just want him to find someone like I found you. I love you so much and I want him to be happy. I mean, he treats girls like I treated you when we first started dating, like property, and I moved on from that but... when will he?"

"Okay, first off, you didn't even treat me like property-"

"Um, don't even, yes I did."

Mitch squinted at him, "When?"

It  was a month after they first met and the first week of school, Mitch walking around with Kevin and clutching his arm because of how scared he was of all the 'older kids'. Scott was already fitting in, even though it was only the third day of the first week of school, everyone had already taken a huge liking to him and was already obsessed with the new captain of the football team.

Scott glared at the back of Kevins head as the two of them walked by, then glaring at Mitchs hand clutching Kevins arm. 

Scott excused himself from his group of senior friends to follow in behind the two and, when he caught up, grabbed the arm dangling by Mitchs side as they walked. Mitch squeaked and turned around quickly, relaxing a little when he saw it was Scott but still a little scared of Scott and staying a bit tense.

"We need to talk." Scott said coldly, sending a glare towards Kevins way.

Mitch shyed away a bit, taking a step back, "O-oh okay, um, yeah. W-when?"

"Now."

Mitch nodded and let Scott pull on his arm as they made their way towards the school yard. Scott acts a lot different than he did at the party, although he was closed off and short answered at the party like he always is, Scott is just a lot... more bitter, meaner, than Mitch thought he would act.

Scott pulled him outside and over towards the wall beside the doors where people were flooding in.

"You're not allowed to be around him." Scott said.

"W-what? H-hes my friend."

"You're too close to him. I don't like it, You're mine, not anyone elses."

Mitch furrowed his brows, "Me and Kev are just friends. You can't tell me that I can't hang out with him, we're not even d-dating, so how could I be yours."

"You just are, you're mine, okay? Don't let other boys touch you and don't touch other boys, got it?"

Mitch mumbled something that Scott couldn't hear and flinched when Scott asked him to repeat himself.

Mitch swallowed, "I said that... I-it feels like you're being r-really controlling."

"I'm not controlling." Scott spat.

Mitch flinched again, "S-Sorry."

Scott sighed, frustrated, while Mitch looked up at him curiously.

"Why are you acting like that?' Mitch asked, then pouted, "You're being so mean to me, when we first met y-you were so nice."

"Yeah, well I don't like it when people touch what mine."

"I'm not even yours-"

Scott grabbed his arm, pulling him closer, "Yes. You are." He spat.

Mitch pouted as Scott recalled the story, "But then you fell in love with me and started treating me better. I don't even care that you treated me like that."

"Well you should, I was a jerk."

"Scotty... stop it. Lets talk about something happier, its Christmas, I don't wanna talk about sad stuff right now and all of the maids are in the house right now and if we're gonna talk about this, I want it to be private so lets like... talk about the first time you started falling in love with me."

Scott smiled a bit, "I first started to fall in love with you when we had that really long night sophomore year, when I found out about your cutting, it was after I started treating you way better and you wouldn't open up to me at first so i showed you my arm and told you my story in exchange for yours and I think that... when you told me, how much sadness I felt for you and how upset I got, just made me realize that I was so so in love with you and that I had such a connection with you and I didn't want to ever give you up."

Mitch smiled widely and leaned in, pecking Scotts lips, "I love you so much."

Scott smiled back, "I love you too."

I know theres not much talk of Avi and Kevin in this chapter, I'm just getting it started up because I have maybe the biggest (most heartbreaking) plans for the two of them ;)
