Chapter 82

Mitch was laying on his stomach, watching the T.V. attached to the wall, while Avi, Travis, Alex and Kirstie went downstairs to get some dinner for all of them. Scott climbed onto the bed, laying beside him and sneaking a hand under the back of his shirt. "What are we watching, baby?" Mitch giggled. "I'm watching a scary movie. Want to watch with me?" Scott ran his hand along Mitch's lower spine. "Sure. But don't watch if you get too scared. You don't have anything to prove. Just tell me if you get scared." Mitch nodded, using one of his forearms to lay on while he watched. "Your hands are cold." "Sorry, baby."

He started to move his hand away, but Mitch grabbed him. "Don't go..." Scott smiled at him and then moved closer than before, tangling one of his legs with Mitch's. Mitch seemed to be doing okay with the movie, but at some point he hid his face in Scott's chest, and never came back out.
