Gas Station (Scomiche) BOOK 2

Mitch threw open the door and set his bag of makeup on the chair, "Thanks for coming with me."

Travis set both the kids down and smiled, "No problem, I liked watching Tina and Jack."

"Can I give you a makeover?" Mitch asked.

"I don't see why not." Travis responded as he sat in a chair.

Mitch squealed and opened up the packages of makeup, beginning to apply some on his face.

"So we can talk now, since the kids are gone." Travis mentioned, seeing the kids run off.

"Right, so Scott just basically said that he doesn't understand why I even want anything from him because I was abused when I was younger. And that really hurt because he knows I'm sensitive about that stuff, but he still said it anyway. I'm just going to stop trying, maybe I'll ask him if I can have a 'friends with benefits type of thing'." Mitch chuckled.

Travis didn't find this funny and locked up his jaw. Mitch frowned and sat on Travis lap to get a better angel to put on the foundation.

"Relax you face, you're so tense." He wined.

Travis looked down to see Mitch seated on his lap with a hand behind his neck. Travis bit his lower lip at the sighed and shifted uncomfortably.

Mitch looked down at him and sat up straighter, "Everything okay?"

Travis was about to say something when the door opened. Mitch widened his eyes and looked at Scott entering their house.

"Mitch? Who's this?" Scott asked as he walked towards them to get a better look at the person Mitch was sitting on.

Mitch opened his mouth and put down the makeup, "T-This is my friend."

Scott saw the face and immediately turned red. He looked down at the floor and pulled Mitch away from Travis.

"Go to our room please." Scott whispered quietly to Mitch.

Mitch pouted and took Travis's hand, "Leave Travis."

Travis bolted out of the door as fast as he could to get away from Scott. Mitch glued his eyes to the ground and slowly backed up to go to their room.

"Why was Travis here?" Scott asked as he stared into Mitch's dark eyes.

"I was putting makeup on him." Mitch whispered.

Scott blinked a few times and quickly walked to their room to lay down with his hands over his face.

Mitch followed him and stayed in the corner of the room, "What are you thinking?"

"I don't know, we will talk about it later."

"So you're not mad he was here?"

Scott say up with his face paler than usual, "I-I don't know, I don't want to see him around anymore though."

"Oh, but he's my friend." Mitch said while looking at the floor.

Scott pressed his lips together and looked up at Mitch's pale face, "He just reminds me of bad things, thats all. How about you and me have some scomiche time, yeah?"

Mitch was slightly confused at Scott's actions but still felt a ping of happiness that they got to spend some time together, "Okay! Can I do you're makeup?"

"Anything you want baby." Scott mumbled while glancing at Mitch.

Mitch was straddling Scott's lap as he applied the dark foundation.

"This is totally not you're shade." Mitch giggled, trying to forget about what happened earlier in the day.

"I'm so white I think ketchup is spicy, don't judge." Scott chuckled as he rested his hands on Mitch's hip bones.

Mitch glanced over Scott's smooth skin and leaned foreword to peck his lips, "How much do you love me?"

Scott was confused by the question but answered honestly, "A lot, why?"

"I dunno, I guess I needed to hear it again." Mitch said, slightly disappointed by the fact Scott wasn't showering him in love like he had in the past.

Scott stuck out his bottom lip and pulled Mitch into his chest, "Awe, I'll start showing it more. I have just been stressed with this whole school situation and me working so much more."

"I know." Mitch mumbled against Scott's chest, "Can we start spending more time together? I forgot how much I missed being your little princess."

Scott grinned and rubbed Mitch's back, "I would love that, we should go on a vacation soon."

"We could go to the mountains, it's only a couple hour drive and it's beautiful." Mitch suggested after a couple minutes of thinking, "I have always wanted to go."

"Yeah, we could get a baby sitter for a few days and rent a cabin."

"That's gonna be a lot of money though, and we are super tight on that right now." Mitch said with a frown.

"How about you start looking for a job for night shifts? Any amount of money would help."

Mitch stared at Scott for a little, "Oh, then I will never see you."

"It would work perfectly though. I'm at work during the mornings, I come home at night and you go to work. The kids will get to see each of us for half of the day." Scott suggested.

Mitch looked at the ground and stood up off Scott's lap, "I don't get to see you though. Except maybe on the weekends."

"It would help our family out." Scott replied.

Mitch thought for a moment, "If it will benefit us then how could I refuse?"
