"Mitch! You took a wrong turn!" Scott laughed as he looked up at Mitch.
Mitch giggled and stopped.
"Sorry! It's just fun. It's like pushing the cart at the grocery store." Scott snorted and shook his head.
"So you're saying I'm just a bunch of food." Mitch rolled his eyes and leaned down to Scott's side.
"Don't be ridiculous, baby... Of course that's what I'm saying." Scott pushed him away, causing Mitch to laugh
"I'm kidding, sheesh! You way as push as a bug."
"You're calling me a bug!?" Scott sarcastically asked. Mitch turned Scott around and began pushing down the hall again.
"You're crazy, Scott. Which way?" Mitch asked.
Scott gestured toward the left, which was his algebra class. Mitch nodded to himself and turned to the left. After a few seconds, he was in front of the door.
"Alright, we have arrived! Please get your bags and exit quickly."
"Are you saying I have bags under my eyes?" Mitch groaned in annoyance, Scott laughing and shaking his head.
"If you don't stop with that--!" Mitch started, only to get cut off.
"I'm just messing around, let me live!" Scott defended.
Mitch walked in front of him and leaned down to kiss his forehead.
"Don't colour in class this time. If you fail this test then you'll never hear the end of it from your parents."
Scott rolled his eyes and put his hands on the wheels.
"I won't, I promise. See you later!" Scott said. Mitch smiled and began to walk backward for a few steps.
"I love--... goodbye."
Mitch whispered to himself as Scott wheeled into the class, immediately getting greeted by Kevin.
Mitch sighed and turned, walking toward that class he knew he'd be late for.
But he didn't regret. He never would, not for Scott.

"When are you going to tell him?" Kirstie asked Mitch as they walked slowly down the halls as the last of the classes began to get out.
Mitch huffed and shook his head.
"It's only been two months. He's gonna be... mad." Kirstie rolled her eyes and giggled.
"You're ridiculous. Who would be mad at something like that? Don't sweat it, babe. It'll be fine. Listen, i have to get home and help my mom clean the house before my aunt comes, but you'll tell me how to goes later?"
Mitch nodded with a sigh. Kirstie gave him an encouraging smile before kissing his cheek and walking away.
Just as she walked away, he saw his Scott wheeling down the hallway with Kevin walking beside him.
Kevin was laughing at something Scott had said, and made Mitch smile to himself. He walked quickly to catch up to them.
"Hey! How did it go?" Mitch asked hopefully, looking down at Scott.
"I think I did okay. I hope so, at least." Scott replied.
Mitch nodded and smiled.
"I'm sure you did great, you studied super hard." Scott nodded, but he still smiled nervously.
"Well... I mean, even if you did, that doesn't guarantee you got a good score. For instance, my sister once was up all night studying for her test and she got an F--"
"Kevin!" Mitch interrupted annoyedly. Kevin blushed and looked down.
"Sorry. Don't have a filter. I bet you did great, Scott. I'll see you guys later." Kevin walked away, Mitch rolled his eyes and walked behind him.
