Chapter 81

Scott was standing outside the Omega Bathroom for almost a minute and a half before Alex skipped out of the room and grabbed his hand. As they walked back, Alex smiled at him. "Thank you again. For taking me." "You're welcome, Xander." Alex giggled. "You know.. You're the only person that's ever called me that. It's a weird nickname, but I really like it." Scott just smiled at him. The rest of the group were all sitting on several towels on the beach, and Alex sat down right beside Travis, cuddling into his side immediately, while Travis handed him his drink. Kevin handed Scott his cup of water, and Scott thanked him, before sitting in between Alex and Mitch. Mitch's hair was wet, so Scott brushed it out of his face before handing him the cup of water. "Drink up, honey." Mitch eagerly drank almost half of it, tired from swimming. "Thank you." Avi continued speaking to Kevin about what was asked in his interview, while Travis whispered something to Alex. Scott leaned back and supported himself with one arm, the other pulling Mitch into his side. "So you went swimming?" Mitch nodded. "And you went to the bathroom?" "I did... Hey, baby, can I have some of that water?" Mitch nodded and put the red cup against Scott's lips, pouring a little into his mouth, before accidently spilling some down Scott's chest. Scott jumped when the cold water hit his warm chest. Mitch giggled and leaned forwards. "Oopsies. Let me get that for you." He leaned down and licked a stripe up Scott's chest, collecting all the water with his tongue. When he met Scott's wide eyes, his own eyes turned blue for a quick second before fading back to brown. Scott shook his head once at him. "Mitchie, not here. Do you need food or something?" Mitch shrugged. "I don't know. I think a little taste of you would suffice." Scott jumped up and grabbed Mitch's hand. "I.. Um. We're going to get Mitch a little snack. Um. Be right back." Avi got up and ran after them, handing Scott 20 dollars. "Is it.. That thing he does?" Mitch took Scott's hand and started sucking on one of his fingers. Scott looked back at Avi and they shared a knowing look. Scott then walked quickly over to one of the snack shacks. Avi sat down next to Kirstie, and nodded at Kevin when he gave him a specific look. Todrick was helping Kirstie put on a little more sunscreen, just in case. Kevin leaned a little closer to Avi. "Was Mitchie...?" Avi just nodded. "Yeah, he--" He was interupted by Alex's loud laugh. Alex laughed for almost ten whole seconds, until he met Avi's eyes. Alex slapped a hand over his mouth, and leaned back into Travis. "Oh.. I'm sorry, Sir. Please continue with your story." Avi smiled a little. "It's okay. Just scared me a little." Alex giggled again, turning his neck a little to smile at Travis. Travis kissed Alex's temple, putting his arms around him, hugging him from the back as they sat on the ground. "It's your own fault that you're so cute." Alex smiled and leaned his head back to rest it on Travis' shoulder, Travis then leaning over to kiss his nose. Kirstie giggled when Todrick tried to put a little sunscreen on her bare stomach, so he stopped. Then he tried again, and she laughed even harder, pushing him away. Todrick laughed too, and then all of a sudden they were both tickling each other. Scott walked back over, his hands locked under Mitch's rear while he held the smaller boy on his hip. Mitch was happily chewing on a small hamburger, not saying a single word, although his skin was practically glowing because of how happy he was. Scott set Mitch on his feet so that he could sit down, but Mitch saw that Scott was about to sit by Alex, so he grabbed his arm and pulled him to sit on the other side of Travis.
