Chapter 159

On the drive back to their house, Mitch couldn't stop talking. "Mr. Grassi-Hoying. Mitchell Grassi-Hoying... Mr. Hoying..." Kevin cleared his throat. "Um. Mitchie? If you're gender fluid.. You're title would be 'Mx. Hoying.' Just... So you know." Mitch smiled even wider. "Thank you! Mx. Hoying. I love it!" Scott smiled at him and put an arm over Mitch's shoulders. "You can keep your last name if you want, Sweetie." Mitch hugged him, still in their respective seats. "No, I want yours."

"Mitch Hoying? Are you sure?"

"Yes. Or maybe Mitch Grassi-Hoying. Either way." Avi met his eyes in the mirror. "You already have two middle names. Are you sure you want two last names too? You're going to be like those Latino people with gigantic names." Mitch giggled. "Well... I am Italian, so..." Alex giggled too. "Mitchell Coby-Michael Grassi-Hoying. It sounds cute!" Scott squeezed Mitch's shoulders a little more. "Yeah... It does." *********
