Chapter 92

Kevin was awake and sitting on the floor reading when Scott woke up. Mitch blinked himself awake and stared at Scott. Scott smiled at him, and then turned over to glance at Avi, who was already awake as well. Kirstin smiled at him and waved a little. "Morning, everyone." Scott sat up and stretched his arms, but then hissed when his shoulder hurt. Kevin stared at him. "Sorry. It probably hurts because I was prodding at it yesterday." Scott shrugged. "It's fine. Am I allowed to leave the room to pee?" Avi ran his fingers over Kirstin's thigh for a moment. "I think so. Mitchell? Can you still smell Counsel Alphas?" Mitch inhaled and then whimpered. "Yes." Scott laid back down and held Mitch's head against his neck. "Do you want to come with me? Or would you like to stay with Avi? His smell will help you." Mitch shook his head. "I don't know, Sir. Just tell me what to do." Scott sighed, and despite his jealousy, he told Mitch to stay with Avi. He slid out of the bed and turned around one more time to see Avi pull Mitch's head into his neck. He snuck off into the bathroom, trying to calm himself down. Mitch whimpered loudly, and Avi comfortingly ran one hand down Mitch's back, and kept the other one on the back of his head. Mitch really tried to drink in Avi's smell, and he felt Kirstin grab one of his hands. Avi shushed him when he whined again. "Hey.. Come on, Omega. You're okay. Everything's okay.." Mitch squeezed Kirstin's hand as he took another deep breath of Avi's scent. He heard the door open, but didn't react. Scott came in and grabbed Mitch's hand. "Come here. I need to borrow you a second." He looked at Avi as he pulled Mitch from the bed. "I'll bring him back in a second. And I promise I won't leave again. This is important." ******* Scott led Mitch into their own room. He closed the door, and then after a small hesitation, he locked it. Scott flipped around and eyed Mitch head to toe. Mitch shifted uncomfortably. "S-Sir?" "Can you smell The Counsel from here?" He asked. Mitch inhaled. "Sort of." "Okay. If we have to stay in that room for a long time, you're going to make yourself nuts if all you can smell is Counsel Alphas." Scott said thoughtfully. Mitch nodded. "I know. But I can't just turn it off.." Scott hummed and then looked around the room. In four quick steps he had one of his own shirts in hand and was giving it to Mitch. "Wear this." Mitch slipped it on and it hung loosely on his small shoulders, draping just past the edge of his boxers. Mitch smelled the shirt and smiled, but as soon as his head came back up he smelled The Counsel again. He whimpered, and pouted at Scott.
