It's Been Too Long (Scömìche)

Texting

Scott's POV

Last night was so soothing: just me and Mitchie, my best friend snuggling on the couch and getting through the horrible storm that sounded outside. We'd heard on the radio this morning that there were a few houses that got flooded by the rainfall, luckily our house didn't have to be mentioned. We just..had eachother, together. I just don't know what to do. He's my best friend and even if I did like him in 'that' way, what if we dated, it went wrong and things would just be so awkward between us. I need to talk to someone about this. Kirstie, she'll just have to keep quiet which I think she can do. I grab my phone:

Scott: hey Kirst, you there?
Kirstie: hey queen! Yes I am. Are you okay Hun?
Scott: well idk, I need to tell you something
Kirstie: oh god what's wrong? Are you guys okay?
Scott: yes we're fine. I just need your help about something.
Kirstie: go for it
Scott: I think I like Mitch, in that way
Kirstie: OH MY GOD REALLY?

Kirstie had always been a little bit of a scömìche shipper, so her reply didn't surprise me. I let outa small giggle from her typical response. But I needed actual advice, not a symptom of shipper syndrome piled on top of me.

Scott: well I think so but it sucks. Does he like me back? How would I be able to know?
Kirstie: ugh I know your struggle Hun. Are you worried about things being awkward if you would tell him?
Scott: yes, really worried. But I don't think that I've liked him long enough to tell him. It might wear off right?
Kirstie: don't be silly Scott. We all know crushes don't just wear off. It might take months before it ends. But I do agree with you on the fact you don't think you should tell him how you feel yet. It wouldn't surprise me if he liked you back too x
Scott: wait, has he told you he likes me?
Kirstie: no he hasn't Hun, I'm sorry. But if he did like you back it wouldn't surprise me. The fact that you've been friends for so long doesn't mean you can't be together, it mostly means the opposite. Just whatever you do, eventually let him know and you both have to be sober, no undignified confessions please.
Scott: oh damn there goes plan B.

I somehow managed to have a little humour left during this type of conversation.

Kirstie: oh haha Scotty the comedian. What exactly is plan A?

Damn she's too observant.

Scott: just tell him, maybe kiss him in the process
Kirstie: okay this is too cute
Scott: I mean we have been acting really couplely the past few weeks
Kirstie: Scott the two of you have been couplely ever since you fucking met
Scott: umm less of that harsh tone please
Kirstie: okay queen. Well I gotta go, me and Jeremy are going out to catch a movie
Scott: okay, thank you so much Kirst, please don't tell anyone about this, I don't want anyone to know, ESPECIALLY the scömìche shippers.
Kirstie: ngl you've been talking to one this whole time. Haha anyway bye Hun xx
Scott: damn you got me there haha love you babe, talk later bye xx

I set down my phone and just sat on the couch having yet another deep thought. I thought about me and Mitch kissing eachother, it felt amazing and it helped me relax.
PTX were touring in three days so I needed to de-stress. 'It is all going to work and be okay' and with that I fell asleep again for another nap.
