Chapter 172

The eight of them were now gathered around the two couches in the living room, watching a Christmas movie, while also eating the cookies that Kevin and Todrick had created. Scott was laying on the smaller couch, Mitch on top of him as they watched the screen. Jake and Alex were sat beside each other, their intertwined hands in Alex's lap. Kevin was on Alex's other side, sitting with Todrick, who was sitting on the ground, leaning against Kevin's legs. And finally, Avi sat on the end of the couch, Kirstie on his lap with two separate cookies in her hands.

Alex ate one of his own cookies, and then before he could even ask for a second one, Jake handed it to him. Kirstie smiled as she finished her first cookie too. "Thank you, Kevin. Thank you, Todrick. These are really yummy."

Kevin smiled back at her. "It was our pleasure, really."
