Chapter 91

Alex walked out of the bathroom, towel around his waist. He saw the couple on the bed and instantly felt bad. Scott moved Mitch out of his way and then stood from the bed to help Alex. He handed him the clothes he'd gotten from Travis, and Alex frowned at them. Scott stared at him. "What's wrong?" "I was wearing these when he proposed to me..." "You were in your pajamas..?" Alex teared up a little and nodded. "We were sitting on the roof... Watching the stars..." Scott rubbed Alex's back. "He's just trying to remind you of what you'd be throwing away if you choose not to go back to him." Alex shook his head and looked at his wedding ring. "I just don't know what to do...Usually I'd just go ask Travie..." "I know, Xand. And I know you want to go back to him because you feel bad. But I have to ask that you think of yourself for once. Okay? It's completely up to you. Travis is Alpha enough to respect your decision." Alex nodded and started to walk to the bathroom to change. Scott laid down again and ran his hands over his face. Mitch jumped up and straddled his hips. "Hi!" Scott smiled. "Hey. Are Avi and Kirstie like, out cold or what? He hasn't yelled at me yet." Mitch glanced over at the other bed and nodded. "Without a doubt." Scott smiled and felt Mitch tracing his fingers up his chest. Scott stared at him, and Mitch offhandedly mumbled. "Beautiful." Alex walked out of the room and stood beside their bed. "I.. Are you guys sure? I can seriously find somewhere else--" Mitch snagged his arm and pulled him into the bed. Alex laughed and fell onto the bed. "Okay then." Mitch wrapped his arms around the side of Scott's body, while Alex laid on Scott's other side, eyes wide open while he thought about Travis. Scott tucked his arm under Alex's neck, and pulled him into his other side. "I know what you're thinking about. And stop it. Keeping yourself awake all night isn't helping anything." Alex nodded. "Thank you..." Mitch had been pretty good at not getting needy. But this was too far. 'Nighttime Scott' was all Mitch's. No one else was supposed to see him all half asleep and romantic. No one else was supposed to cuddle with his half naked Scott. Mitch pouted and kissed Scott's shoulder to get his attention. Scott looked over at him and kissed his forehead. "What's up, honey?" Mitch shook his head. "I changed my mind. I want flowers." "You got it, Sweetheart." Mitch smiled a little. "I love you..." "I love you too, baby boy." Scott said with a small smile. Alex had closed his eyes and nearly fallen asleep, a lot more comfortable with Scott's arm around him. Mitch held Scott's arm tightly. "You still haven't told me about that nightmare you had... The day Allie and Trav got in a fight. I heard what you were screaming. I was right there. Did you... Was it about someone.. Raping you?" Scott shook his head. "Baby, I don't want to talk about this." "Is that a yes?" "Mitch. Please don't." "You said my name too. Was I raping you?" Mitch asked timidly. "Don't do that to yourself. You have no control over what I have dreams about." Scott said quickly. Mitch sat up on his elbow. "So it was about rape? It was about me raping you?" "Mitch please, stop." Scott begged. Mitch fell back down against Scott, wrapping his arms around Scott's neck. "I'm so sorry..." Scott held him with one arm. "We'll talk in the morning. Okay?" Mitch nodded, and soon fell asleep. *******
