Loved?

5. Perfect

Scotts Pov

I took Mitch back to mine after that. I was not gonna let anything else bad happen to him. He was perfect.

"Mitchie? What exactly happened between you and Mark?" I asked when we sat down on my couch.

Mitch curled up into a ball and shook his head, tears still in his eyes.

"Okay baby, its alright, you don't have to talk about it. I'm sorry I asked."

"Scotty?"

"Yes Mitchie?"

"C-can I have a hug?"

I wordlessly sat down, next to Mitch and opened my arms. He melted into them instantly, tears slowly falling.

"Sshh baby, it okay, come here", I said, rubbing his back lightly and then pulling him into my lap. He clung onto my shirt, sobing quietly.

"Oh baby boy, it's okay. I'm sorry I asked. You don't have to talk about it at all."

"I-I wanna t-tell you b-b-but its hard!" Mitch said getting frustrated.

"I know sweetie. Its okay. You can tell me when your ready. I wont force you"

"You w-wont?"

"No sweetheart. You deserve some compassion. You deserve everything you ever want", I said, running my hands through his hair.

"I love you Scottie", Mitch whispered, his face buried into my chest.

"I love you too baby." I said, kissing his forehead lightly. "Do you wanna watch a film?"

Mitch nodded into my chest and I turned on the tv.

"What do you wanna watch? You can watch anything!"

"Um I don't know"

"What's your favourite?"

"You'll laugh if I tell you", Mitch replied sadly.

"I'd never sweetie. If it makes you happy, I'll be happy."

"C-can we watch S-spongebob?" Mitch asked quietly.

"Omg I love Spongebob!" I said truthfully

"R-really?"

"Yup! I watch it all the time!"

"Yay! I'm obsessed with it! I've seen literally every episode! And I wanna get a Spongebob tattoo someday!"

I laughed slightly as his obsessive nature towards the show, "Okay, I dont love it that much! But I watch it a lot!"

"Do you still wanna watch it?" Mitch asked, shyly.

"100% baby!" I said, kissing his forehead once again and putting Spongebob on.

His eyes lit up when it started playing. It was adorbable. He was adorable. He was perfect.

I wanted to do something for him. He needed to be shown how amazing and perfect he was. He deserved to be loved.

A date!

"Heya, Mitchie?"

"Yeah"

"W-would you maybe like to go on a date with me? Tonight?" I said, slightly nervous.

"I'd love too!" Mitch said, giggling slightly.

"Any preference on where we go or what we do?"

"Not really, just not theme parks. I hate roller coasters"
