The week wasn't as terrible as it could be for them all. Mitch didn't take the marriage news well, more like he didn't take it at all. Once, Kirstin let out the word "marriage" and "Scott", he ignored her. He had asked her if she had wanted to go shopping or go drink until they couldn't any longer. It was a normal Mitch thing to offer, but she couldn't help to think that he was just putting on a front. Now on a Friday, the two of them were currently sitting at a Starbucks, chatting over some nonsensical thing like if unicorns did exist or if Pluto was an actual planet.

"Of course, cupcakes are better than cakes! I can't believe you would even try to argue!" Mitch smiled at the dark haired girl in front of him. It was the first time he genuinely smiled in the last two days. He took a sip from his bitter coffee, tracing the rim with his index finger as he caught Kirstie's eyes, his smile slowly fading from his face.

"They really are getting married, huh?" He had asked after it had got quiet. Mitch didn't even want to speak about it, but it seemed better to do that than to leave it in the dark. It was always something his parents had told him, "Don't leave anything on your heart for long until you want it to make a mark." Scott made a mark as big as the universe and Mitch didn't know if he wanted to keep the mark.

Kirstie nodded and looked down, tapping her fingers against the table. She didn't know what to do in these situations. It wasn't everyday she had to give the news that Scott was getting married to his ex-boyfriend. It made her feel a bit awkward that she had to be the messenger, but she rather it be her than Scott himself. "Scott didn't want-"

As she was speaking, a guy with glasses and a brown leather jacket had walked up to the table which made Mitch smile immediately. He quickly got up and hugged the newcomer, scooting over in the booth to give him space. Kirstie rose an eyebrow as she watched the both of them, wondering exactly where this man had came from and why she hadn't met him before this.

"Oh my God! I'm sorry I am so out of it today! Luke, the wonderful man that takes pictures of me and every other person who is deserving of them. This is Kirstin. Kirstie, this is Luke." Mitch's cheeks turned a bit red, since he had forgotten about Kirstie who was sitting in front of him. He gestured at Kirstie, who waved at the photographer.

Luke placed a hand out towards Kirstin with a smile. She took the hand that was offered and shook it, giving him a bright smile. "Pleasure meeting you, Kirstin." He smiled back at the woman and brought Kirstin's hand to his lips, leaving a kiss on the back of it.

Kirstie tilted her head at Mitch in utter confusion, who had just waved her off. He placed all of his attention to Luke, who was now animatedly talking about the new cameras that he had received and who he had scheduled next for his appointments. Mitch's chin on rested on his palm as he looked dreamily at the man next to him.

She didn't know what was going on, but Mitch had heart eyes for Luke and Luke was definitely not Scott. Would she have to start shipping Luke and Mitch? Litch? Muke? Mike? Kirstie was shivering at the thought of the relationship, she had to tell the group to see their thoughts on it.
