Real Life

Scolex

Alex's POV

Scott and I were going down stairs to get some coffee when we heard a complete ruckus coming from the drawing room.

"-I'm gonna run away now!" Chris started to run off.

"Hey, wait up!" I called after him.

"Yeah? What is it?" He asked turning and walking towards us.

"What's going on?" I questioned.

"Tyler and Connor aren't wearing clothes and them and Mitch are sobbing laughing messes rollin' round in the floor. That's what's going on." He answered, a wild look present in his eyes.

"Okay! Thanks Chris." I smiled at him before he ran back in the direction he was going.

"Well," Scott looked in the direction of the loud cackling, "I guess we have to."

I cracked a grin, "That's the spirit!"

We walked cautiously to the door and opened it slowly to find Tyler and Connor dawning clothes and Mitch sprawled on the floor, tears in his eyes.

"Dude, y'all look wrecked." Scott spoke from next to me.

"No shit Sherlock!" Tyler giggled.

The three of them collapsed into tears and laughs yet again.

"Y'all are delirious. Chris said it was bad but this is nuts." I raised an eyebrow.

"Here." Scott walked towards Mitch's figure rolling on the floor and gently lifted him up. Mitch weighed like, 6 pounds so I wasn't surprised by Scott's actions. "Now, you two. Alex make sure they are following."

Scott lead the way upstairs and I followed behind, making sure Tyler and Connor were both following.

He walked towards his bed room, leading us to it as well. Scott pushed open the door signaling for us to follow. "You two, keep your clothes on and get in my bed and sleep for at least three hours. Sleep until at least 1:45 okay? No sex, this is my bed."

We watched as they climbed in and curled up with each other and we were about to leave when we heard Connor's faint voice, "If it's your bed then why do you never sleep in it? Is Alex's bed really that much more comfortable?"

"Sleep." It was a command this time.

Scott was blushing furiously as we exited the room.

"Connor is funny." I swear Mitch sounded high. He was half asleep and babbling like a toddler, I'm lucky to have Scott, cause if Scott could have Mitch I might just have to let him go for it.

"Good night Mitchie, I'll come wake you up later." Scott laid Mitch down in his bed and tucked him in, pressing a gentle kiss to his forehead.

"Stay?" Mitch looked up at him with his big eyes.

Scott looked up at me helplessly. He had to stay, he had told me once that if Mitch asked him to stay that he had to for reasons he couldn't tell me and that he either wanted me to trust him about it or to call it off then. I trusted him and all I could see was loyalty to a best friend when he curled up with him. He patted his pocket, and realized he didn't have his phone on him. I handed him my phone. He knew my password and he used it anyway as did I to his. We switched phones sometimes, it was pretty convenient.

I made a kiss face and winked, then left the room quietly.

In the two and a half years I have known Scott, I have learned a lot about Scott and Mitch. The highlights of that are that, Scott loves Mitch as more than a friend and everybody knows it, Mitch loves Scott more than most people love their husband or wife and very best friend combined, but not in a sexual way, they would do absolutely anything for each other, and they know the other better than they know themselves. Regardless of Scott's huge crush, they only acted on it at age fourteen- they dated in secret for a year and a half, at the end of that they made love and then broke up the next day. While that might hurt most people's friendships, we all know that Scott and Mitch aren't most people, so it obviously helped only to strengthen their bond. Since then they have spent so much time with each other including living in the same apartment, having a YouTube show, being in a extremely successful A Capella band together, and now living in the same house together.

What I have learned the most though, is that Scott isn't going to do anything that is considered cheating and if I get jealous and want him to not do things for Mitch, I'm going to go. And, regardless of the slight threat, I totally respect that.

I walked into my room and grabbed Scott's phone off the bed.

Hey, we should go grocery shopping. Come with me? -A

Uh, just a sec. -H

Scott, via Alex's Phone: Uhm, Mitch was mumbling about shredded cheese... And can you grab some Gatorade and one of the big things of extra cheesy gold fish?
