(Two months later)

Mitch woke up, just shy of 1am from a nightmare. He sighed, rolled over, and tried to go back to sleep. He couldn't shake his nightmare. He got up and walked quietly to Dom's room. About a week into him moving in, Letty and Mia moved their rooms together since they were dating and he moved into Letty's old room, next to Dom's. Something about the older man was comforting, so he gently crawled under his arm and cuddled into his chest. The man makes a confused noise before he sees who it is and holds him closer. Mitch hopes Dom cant feel his blush.

They fall back asleep, held close together.

Vince goes to wake up Mitch for school, the job rotates with who's opening the diner and garage. When he cant find the boy in his room and sees Dom's door cracked, he peeked inside. Dom held Mitch tightly, both tangled in the other. He smiled, let's them sleep and gets Mia up instead.

When Dom wakes, he wasn't sure if Mitch climbing into his bed to cuddle was a dream or not, but low-and-behold the boy was cuddled into his chest. His hands fisted Dom's white wife-beater, legs tangled with his own. Dom smiled, kissed his forehead gently, and stayed in been until Mitch woke up.

About an hour later, Mitch wakes up to a gentle humming and a hand carding through it hair. He nearly freaked, but wa soothed by the scent of Dom.

"Sorry," he spoke softly, about to get up.

"No, dont be. You had a nightmare, right?"

"Yeah. I don't wanna talk about it."

"Ok. I'm glad you were able to get back go sleep."

"Shit," he looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. "I'm late."

"Vince texted me. He had Mia tell them your sick today."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Can I go back go sleep then?" He huffed, nose scrunting as he yawns. Dom simply smiled and opened his arms fro Mitch to climb back into. The boy smiled and nuzzled into his chest again.

They go quiet, dozing. Dom speaks, "wanna be my boyfriend?"

"Hells ya," Mitch mumbled. "Was wondering when you were gonna ask." Dom chuckled. "Now, shush. I'm tired." He chuckles again, holds Mitch closer.

-

Another hour, both finally get out of bed. Letty raises an amused eyebrow at the boys, Mitch smiled and Dom kept a neutral face.

"So, when're you gonna crash in my bed, Mitchie?" She smirked, sipped her coffee easily.

"Ah- what?" He looked down at the table.

"Well, Vince said he crashed a slumber party," Brian adds, setting down two plates before Letty and Mitch. Roman followed with another two and Brian got the last one.

"Yeah, since when has that been going on?" Roman adds as they take their seats.

"Um..." Mitch looks at Dom before the male smiles back.

"Mitch had a nightmare, I was still up. I comforted him and we fell asleep," Dom answered. "Then he woke up and I asked him to be my boyfriend. Problem?"

"Only if he said no," Letty said coolly.

"I said yes."

"FUCK YEAH!" She cried victoriously, both arms raising.

"Damn," Roman hissed, pulled out his wallet, and passed Letty a 20. Brian did the same.

"Wow," Mitch laughed softly. "You bet on us?"

"More on Dom being gay, but yes," Brian rolls his eyes. The laugh, eat, talk. After they finish, Mitch cleans up and they head to the diner and garage. There, Letty got another 20 from Vince and Jesse.

"Guys," Mitch protested. Vince gives Dom a hard look, nearing a glare.

"You hurt my little brother, I'll hurt you," he states. Mitch blushed darkly. No one has ever in the history of ever done that for him.

Scott even looked him dead in the eyes and said the Derek was way out of his league, that he'd need the bite to keep up and then held him down and-

"Mitch?" Letty drew him from the memories.

"Yeah? Sorry," he smiled a little, hides his sadness.

"Your upset," Dom said plainly, placing a hand on his cheek. "Why?"

"The last time I told someone I was dating someone, he held me down," he smiled tightly. "He told me I wasnt good enough, told me that the guy I was dating was just taking pity on little ol' human Stiles."

"What?"

"Yeah, it we pretty fucked up."

"Mitch," Brian said in worry. "Was this one of the friends you wanst kind when you dissapeared?" He doesnt answer, looks down at the ground.

"It is," Roman scoffed.

"Who?" Dom asked protectively.

"No. You'll hurt him," Mitch rolled his eyes. "He has no idea I'm here, ok? Just leave it."

Begrudgingly, the team does.
