Chapter 58

Mitch skipped over to the scale by the wall. When he turned he saw Scott standing next to Avi in front of him. Avi was pointing at something on the paper and showing it to Scott. Scott nodded and then they both looked at Mitch expectantly. But Mitch was too embarrassed to stand on the scale. Avi raised an eyebrow. "Well?" Mitch looked at the scale and then looked back at the two Alphas. "I-I.. Do you have to watch me do this, Sir?" He asked directly to Scott. Scott looked offended for a second. "I'm going to see the numbers either way. Why are you afraid for me to see how much you weigh? You're tiny. I know it. You know it. They all know it." Mitch sighed and looked at him with desperation. Avi raised an eyebrow at them. Scott noticed and looked at Mitch with wide eyes. "Mitchell. Get on that scale right now. I'm your Alpha, and I told you to do it. So you'll do it." Mitch nodded. "Yes, Sir." Mitch jumped on the scale, and refused to look at the number. Avi didn't smile at him like he did with Kirstin though. He just scribbled something down. Scott didn't smile either. Mitch got off the scale quickly. "Sir.. W-What's wrong?" Scott smiled, but Mitch knew it was forced. "You got taller, love." Mitch sat back down on the couch, and it appears Kevin didn't know either. Kevin just lifted his hands up and shook them for Mitch. "Yay for getting taller!" Mitch tried to smile at him, but he couldn't. He was too worried. Kevin's smile dropped. "What's wrong?" Mitch just shook his head. Kevin put an arm over Mitch's shoulders and Mitch leaned into the touch. Avi flipped to the last paper. "Scott. I just have to do some strength tests. For starters, Mitchell come here." Mitch hesitantly got up and walked over to Avi. Avi read something on the paper and then pointed at the ground. "Okay.. So last year you could do ten push ups with one freaking arm.. That's how much I under estimated your strength. So this year I need you to do push ups with Mitch on your back. And if it's too easy, you'll do it with one arm." Scott shrugged and got down on the ground. He looked up at Mitch. "Take a seat, darling." Mitch sat Indian style on Scott's back, and held Scott's t-shirt in his hands. Scott did an experimental push up, and then looked up at Avi. "Definitely too easy. I can barely even feel him back there. It's like doing a push up with a pillow on your back." Avi laughed. "Okay then. Try with one arm. Hold on up there, Mitchell." Mitch held Scott's t-shirt tighter. Scott put an arm behind his back, and Mitch decided to hold on to that instead. Scott held one of Mitch's hands while he did one of his push ups. He looked back up at Avi. "I have to do ten? You know I'm stronger than this." Avi nodded. "I know, Muscles. But we have to do this, so just do it." Scott sighed and then did ten one armed push ups without breaking a sweat. When he was done, he waited for Mitch to get off his back before moving. Mitch stood and reached a hand out to help Scott up. Scott pulled himself up and then thanked him. Avi was checking things off, and Scott looked over his shoulder. "What are you doing?" "Just checking things off that I know you can do. This would just be a waste of your time. I mean, 50 sit ups? You could do that in your sleep." Avi said flatly. Scott smiled proudly. Avi continued to check things off. "Hey.. Scott.. Pick Mitchell up off the ground." Scott did so without questioning it. Avi nodded. "Now, don't move." Scott stood there and held Mitch off the ground for a good thirty seconds. Mitch just stared at Scott's chest, refusing to meet his eyes. Avi nodded and cleared his throat. "Okay. Set him down." Scott did so without a word. Mitch immediately turned around to look at Avi for further direction. Avi checked off more boxes. "Dear God, why do they expect so much of you? There are like fifty tasks here." Scott set his chin on Mitch's shoulder to see the clipboard in front of Avi, and Mitch quickly moved out of the way, causing Scott's head to slip from his touch. Mitch might as well have slapped him in the face, that's how hurt Scott looked. Avi just sighed and turned the page, oblivious to what had just happened in front of him. "Forget it. Moving on. Okay.. Kevin? I need you to read these off so that we can get the trust exercise shit done." Not only were the pack members tested individually, the couples were tested as well. Kevin took the clipboard and Kirstin stood from the couch to stand by Avi. Kevin hummed before starting to speak. "Okay so.. First the Omega has to like.. Jump off a tree or something.." Avi frowned. "Um. Run that by me again?" Kevin tried. "It just says the Omega jumps and the Alpha catches them." Avi looked around the cabin and hummed. "We'll probably have to do this outside." The whole pack walked outside, and sure enough. There were several packs spread out making Omegas jump from trees. After the Alphas helped get the Omegas in the tree, both Omegas climbed up a few branches. Scott looked up at Mitch. "Don't be afraid. Sometimes I think you forget I can smell that." Mitch looked down at him. "I don't like heights, Sir." Scott nodded and looked at Avi. "He also doesn't like the dark." "I heard that." Mitch said loudly. Scott looked up at him again. "Well then jump down. Then you won't have to worry about the height." Mitch huffed. "That's easy for you to say. Both of your feet are on the ground." Scott held his arms out and raised an eyebrow. Mitch looked at Kirstie. "Take care of my goldfish, Jeremy, if I die." Kirstin laughed. "You don't have a goldfish." Mitch looked up, and then met her eyes again. "I guess not. Okay. If I die.. Buy a goldfish. Name it Jeremy. And then take care of it." Kirstin hit his arm. "Stop stalling. Be a man." Mitch sighed and looked at Scott. "Please don't drop me." "I would never. You know that. 220 pounds, Mitchie. Remember? You're like.. Half that. Less, even." Mitch closed his eyes, and then jumped. Scott bent his legs a little, and caught his little Omega in his arms. Mitch opened one eye, when he was sure he was okay. "You're pretty. Are you an angel?" Scott laughed and set him back on his feet. "You lived. Congratulations." Avi was having a similar conversation before Kirstin jumped. She, however, let out a little squeal when she fell. Avi, of course, caught her and kissed her forehead. "I've got you, baby doll." Kevin checked the box. "Do we really have to do all of these?" Avi shrugged. "Probably not. But it gives us something to do." Kevin walked inside without a word, and everyone followed. As soon as Mitch walked in, Kevin stood in front of him and mumbled, "Sorry." Before he stomped on Mitch's foot. Mitch yelped and pulled his foot away. Scott growled and his eyes were red instantly. He ran up to Kevin and barred his teeth. Kevin held up his hands in surrender and wrote something down. Scott snarled. "What the hell, Kevin?" Kevin shrugged. "It was one of the tests." Kirstie watched this happen, and then Avi walked in and closed the front door. Scott's eyes went back to normal. Kevin swallowed painfully. Okay but this one was going to suck. He mumbled another, "Sorry." Before stepping on Kirstin's foot. She yelled too, but louder than Mitch. Avi's eyes flashed red immediately and he ran to Kirstin to stop her tears. "Hey.. You're okay.. It's okay.." He then turned to Kevin who was checking a box. Avi growled at him. "Hope you're ready to die." Kevin laughed nervously. "It was a test, Sir. I'm sorry. I tried not to step on her too hard.. But I needed her to yell." Avi's eyes slowly faded back to normal. "I don't like that test." Kevin hummed. "You know what's weird?" Avi just blinked. "What?" "When I did it to Mitch, Scott was in my face in .5 seconds. But you checked on Kirstin first. I wonder what the difference is.. It's just your guys' instincts. That's all. But I wonder why.." Kevin said curiously. Avi shrugged. "Well before anything, I was worried." Scott smiled shyly. "Funny. I was pissed." Kevin shrunk in on himself. "I'm really really sorry about that. I hope I didn't hurt either of you.." Mitch shrugged and looked at Kirstie, who shrugged as well. Kevin added quietly, "Oh and thanks for not breaking my face, Scott..." ******
