Unexpected - Scavi

Night Out

The next few weeks were...weird, to say the least. It was fine in the start, but then Dan started acting weird. Not like him at all, he'd make sassy remarks to everyone, even if it was so uncalled for and even if it hurt the person's feeling. He was so close to Scott. Too close, if you ask Avi. Maybe he's still getting used to the fact they're not together. Like one time, Avi and Scott were cuddling on the couch in the studio and he looked like he had the audacity to sit right next to Scott. He might've as well sat down on his lap, was all Avi thought at the moment. He didn't say anything, but he gave Scott a look that clearly read "what the heck."

Daniel is extremely touchy. Avi still hopes it's because he misses Scott and is still trying to get used to the new dynamic, but it's becoming harder and harder to believe that. Sometimes, when the couple want some time alone to go on a date or something like that, they can't, because Daniel takes up almost all of Scott's time. Avi is left with the 15 minutes before Scott crashes in his bunk to sleep. He struggles to keep his jelousy tame, but he always ends up going over to Esther or Kevin and just let it loose, which starts with frustrated complaints, continues with angry yells and ends with ugly tears. Then the other party would have to reassure him for a long while for Avi to be sure this is fine and Scott won't leave.

Avi hated to say it, but Daniel was an obstacle in their relationship. He never knew he was so possesive. Dan never said a bad thing to or about Avi, at least that Avi knows any, but this behavior was unusual. But these last few weeks, he'd often shoot him looks and smiles that just made him want to jump at him. The bandmates seemed to see what's going on between the two, so they'd always try to help in their own ways; Mitch would take him out somewhere to hopefully take Avi's mind off the slowly fading relationship he had with Scott or they'd just talk and play with Wyatt, Kirstie would act like a sister and bring him him tea or favourite snacks, but bless Kevin and Esther, they saw most of how upset Avi was since it's usually the two of them he turned to about this. Esther would act like the big sister she is and hug him 'til he feels better and feel a sudden urge to kick Scott and Dan's ass for this, but Avi would always stop her from doing anything stupid she'd later regret. Kevin would just stay with him. He'd talk to him about what bothered him, state his opinion then try and calm Avi down, which sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. No one really knew what was going on between Scott and Daniel when they were alone and that's what was eating Avi up.

He could physically feel the distance between himself and Scott whenever they were together. The blond rarely said "I love you" anymore, they never held hands, no more warm and sweet kisses, just quick touches of his arm or shoulder that Avi always hoped would last just a second longer, so the touch lingers. It's like he was just a friend to him. It's like it was at the start, Daniel and Scott together with Avi as a friend. And it stung his heart. He hated how awkward he felt around his, supposed to be, boyfriend. He didn't even feel like talking to him at this point.

What confused the brunette the most was the fact Scott hasn't said anything about this. Has he not noticed? Maybe Scott went back to Daniel. Maybe he's just waiting for the right moment to break up with Avi. Maybe Avi became just a distraction. He disliked the fact he doubted the other man so much, it made him restless. Scott felt so untouchable to him at this point he was afraid. Afraid, their relationship was so delicate, as a snowflake, slowly falling, and he felt like if he didn't handle it carefully it'd melt away.

It all sounds like he is trying to get to something so forbidden.

Now Avi was doubting himself. Were his feeling going to far? Did he give more love than recieve? He was wondering if he loved Scott too much. Something about the man was so captivating, it's hard to stay away from him. When he's near him, it feels like something's nagging him to be close to him. It was both one of the best feelings he felt and one of the agonizing ones. From the way he held his head so high, his broad shoulders always relaxed, to the way he looked at the world to the way he simply said Avi's name.

A relationship is supposed to be healthy, beneficial and it's supposed to involve both parties. It certainly didn't involve Scott and Avi was losing his hope and patience. What if Scott actually lost feelings for him? He misses Scott and he was at a point so many times where he wanted to lose his cool on him, yell, say something about this situation and how it isn't right. But he didn't because he loved him too much. Avi thought Scott was the right person. Maybe he was wrong. He wanted to hug Scott, kiss him, touch him again without hesitation and doubts he's with another man, he wanted to close the gap between them, that was only growing each day, driving them apart. It got to the point it was the main thing Avi thought about and it worried his friends.
The feeling of his chest aching and his head clouded with things he couldn't even explain would be persistent and always come back. He felt sick to his stomach, he just wanted to go back to normal. Scott noticed his odd behavior. He thought it was jelousy.
