Chapter Twelve

~Scott~

I drove back to Mitch's apartment, noticing that halfway back he fell asleep. When we got back, I carried him up the stairs and laid him in his bed, "Scott? Will you lay with me?"

"I should let you sleep and go back home. It's late."

"I don't mind."

"What if I do?" Mitch looked up at me, confusion in his eyes, "I don't think I should lay with you, Mitch. I should go home."

"Why don't you want to lay with me?"

"I didn't say that I don't want to, I said I don't think I should."

"Why not?"

"Because, uh. I don't-I should go." I got off the bed to leave and Mitch grabbed my arm.

"You like me, don't you?"

"Of course I," I paused, "like you how? Of course I like you-"

"Not just like me as a friend, or a patient of yours Dr. Scott. But do you like-like me?" What was I supposed to say?

"Mitch-"

"You don't. I knew it."

"Or maybe I do and I don't think you should know." I sighed and sat on the end of his bed, "I've liked you, a lot, I just didn't want to tell you because you still love Gerard." I looked down at my hands that were starting to get more sweaty the longer the silence got.

"Scott, look at me." I did so, "I don't love Gerard, I love protection. Safety. Someone that I can feel safe with when I go outside my apartment. I have that with you, and more. I don't like what Gerard and I had, it was weird at times and he was too massive for me anyway. I just, wasn't attracted to him like I thought I was. I like-like you, Scott. And I don't care if Gerard gets out of prison and finds out because I want to move out of this place. It reminds me too much of him and what we had."

"Wow." I watched Mitch as he crawled next to me, "I really do like you, Mitch."

"I really like you too." I smiled as Mitch started to lean in. I followed and before I knew it, I was kissing Mitch.

A/N: I don't know if y'all got the Dr. Scott thing but it refers to Scott taking care of Mitch these past weeks & then carrying him & making sure he's okay :)
