Chapter 35

Scott must've fallen asleep on that couch, because the next thing he knew there was light streaming in the windows. Scott rubbed his eyes and looked down at Mitch to see him jolt awake. Scott's low morning voice rumbled, "good morning, darling." Mitch rolled over so the back of his head was against Scott's legs. He held a finger to his lips and pointed to the side of Scott. Scott looked over and saw Avi asleep with Kirstin's head on his shoulder, asleep as well. Scott looked down at Mitch and whispered, "Kevin?" Mitch glanced around the living room, and put a hand over his mouth to stifle his giggle. He pointed to the floor, where Kevin lay on his back with an arm over his eyes. Scott 'tsk'ed. Poor Kevin. Scott smiled down at Mitch, who smiled right back. Scott gasped suddenly. "Mitchie.. Wanna make breakfast?" He whispered. Mitch gasped too and nodded excitedly. Mitch quickly got up, and Scott followed suit. "Wait.. Can we make breakfast without power?" Mitch whispered back. Scott stopped, and sighed. "No, I guess not. We could go get some breakfast instead? Maybe stop by Starbucks?" Mitch smiled wide. "Yes, please!" He whisper shouted. Scott laughed quietly and chased Mitch down the hall to get ready to leave. ****** Now fresh, clean and clothed, the two boys sat in the car at about seven in the morning. Scott was driving to Starbucks as he listened to Mitch talk. "It was basically a pack sleepover! We all live in the same house, but we've never done something like that! Maybe next time we'll have power and we can watch movies or something." Mitch said excitedly. Scott chuckled. "Yeah, maybe." When they pulled in to the drive through, Mitch tugged on Scott's shirt sleeve. "I'm not allowed to have coffee, Sir." "I know, baby. I've got it, don't worry." Scott said, before leaning out the window and ordering some breakfast sandwich things, along with two coffees, two frappuccinos, and one tea. As they waited in line Mitch wondered out loud. "Why can't Omegas have coffee? And why does Kevin get tea instead if he's allowed to have coffee?" Scott shrugged and drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. "Well I don't know about other Omegas, but you my dear, are just too small to have that strong of a dose of caffeine. Especially because you act like you've had four cups of coffee on a regular basis already. You really don't need it like us tired, stressed Alphas. Kirstin is probably the same." Mitch nodded and listened attentively as Scott talked. "As far as Kevin goes, he likes tea because he likes to be calm. With the kind of knowledge he has, no one really asked. We just figured he knew what was best." Scott explained. Mitch nodded. "That's cool. I wish I was smart like that." Scott looked at him and reached over to pat his thigh. "You're smart enough just the way you are. Kevin is a different kind of people. Just be glad you know him." "I always am." Scott nodded and smiled, as he finally reached the window to pay and gather their 'breakfast'. ******
