Chapter 45
Mitch watched him go, and then turned to Avi with a smile. "I took a bunch of vitamins so I can stay here for a while. Want some soup? Or.. Um. A board game?" "Why don't you go catch up with Scott? I'll stay here. Maybe you can send Kirstie in here for a second?" Mitch's smile faltered a second at someone choosing Kirstie over him again, and then he smiled tightly without using his teeth. "You too?" "What do you mean?" "Nothing. I.. Nothing. I'll send her in." And then he turned to leave before Avi could say another word. Mitch found Kirstie in the kitchen, before sending her to Avi's room. She skipped down the hall, and then threw open the door. "Hi hi!" Avi smiled at her tiredly. "Hey, Princess." She closed the door and then walked to the side of his bed, leaning down to kiss him. Avi held her back, with his hands on her shoulders. "Baby... You can't kiss me.." "I don't care if I get sick." She tried. "But I do. You can't get sick. I won't allow it." Kirstie stood back up and whined. "But I miss you." He tried to smile at her, reaching out to hold her hand. "I'll get better soon. I promise, I'll do everything I can to get well." Kirstie frowned down at him. "Hurry. Please hurry." ********
Mitch stood beside Todrick in the kitchen, both watching Kevin cook breakfast. Mitch poked Todrick's arm. Todrick smiled at him. "What's up, Munchie?" "Is Kirstie pretty?" "Beautiful, I'd say. Why?" Mitch's posture dropped, his shoulders sagging. "Oh." "You don't think so?" Mitch groaned and bent to rest his forehead against the kitchen counter. "She's really really pretty. I know."
