More Than Friends: A #Mashley Fan-Fic

Overreactions

Mitch's POV: 

As I stare out the window of my plane, I can't help but think about what Ashley said.

"Don't forget about me." she said it with a smile on her face, but part of me can't help but feel there was some truth hidden behind it. I didn't blame her for being scared after having her heart broken once, but I wasn't going to cheat on her, let alone forget her. Heck, I never really went near girls even before we started dating, except for the occasional 'outing' with Mat and Rob.

Mat and Rob. 

Did they know about Ashley and I? Even if they didn't, I was guaranteed teasing from both of them. When I came back from Europe, they gave me hell for all the pictures I posted, and still give me hell whenever we're together. I'm also still teased about the time Ashley and I co-played minecraft together, with me controlling the mouse, and her controlling the keyboard. And from the pictures we used to take together, when my arm would always be around Ashley. Wow. Now that i look back on it, it was like I was constantly subconsciously flirting with Ashley whenever we were together. Even when I was asleep, like that one time I fell asleep on her shoulder on a plane ride. I wish I could do that again now, the seats were really uncomfortable.

When I get off the plane, Rob is there to pick me up.

"Hey! We missed ya buddy." he says, giving me one of hid usual bear hugs. "Wasn't as quite as hot n' spicy with you gone." I smile. I'd missed the guy. 

"Welp, it's good to be home." I say, and we walk out. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 We pick up Mat on our way to my house, and he says his usual greeting before settling in the back with some sort of satisfied grin on his face. I'm too afraid to ask what it's about, so the car ride is mostly silent.

When we get to my house, I unlock the door, and we all file inside, laughing and joking.

"So Mitch...do anything interesting in L.A?" Mat asks once we're in my room.

A million things flash through my mind.

Well, I rescued Ashley from a burning building, asked her to be my girlfriend, hurt her and made her run ot in the rain, causing her to break her ankle and nearly get pneumonia, met her sister, lost my virginity and had everyone find out during an uncomfortable Truth or Dare Then, I forgot I was coming here today and sort of dropped a bomb on her this morning. 

"Nothing much." I reply, laying down on the familiar mattress. Mat grumbled something that sounded like "Twitter" and "otherwise", but I couldn't quite make it out.

"Sorry, what?" I ask.

"Nothing." he replies quickly, settling back into that satisfied grin he had on the way here.

"So, it sounds like you had a very boring experience in L.A, so let's do something interesting tonight. I say we go to a bar, and try to find Mitch a lady friend." he says, wiggling his eyebrows and giving me a mischievous look. I'm silent for a second. Usually I just reply, I'll go for the drinks, but I really don't want to get into a relationship right now. Stop trying you jag. Now it was different.

"I can't." I say quietly, pulling out my phone to remain casual. 

"Why not?" Rob asks in an innocent voice, obviously knowing the answer. They both clearly knew, they just wanted to hear it from me. What jags.

"Yeah, Mitch, tell us." Mat says, his voice no longer level, letting his excitement peak through.

"You know why." I say, not wanting to give them what they want. They both give me a look of fake confusion.

"How would we?" Rob says, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

"Yeah, come on man. Just tell us why you can't go to the bar with us. You've never had a problem before." Mat adds, trying and failing to keep his poker face. I sigh.

"It's because I have a girlfriend, okay? Are you happy?" I say, and they explode.

"I KNEW IT!" Mat shouts, jumping up in his seat. Rob does the same, and they both jump up and down together like little school girls. I stare at them, trying to to show the amusement on my face, although I can feel my ears turning red. They both see me looking at them, and stop jumping to slide back into their seats. Mat clears his throat.

"I mean, I'm happy for you dude." he says.

"Me too." Rob chimes in, keeping his poker face. We all burst out laughing. 

"You little bastards." I say, slumping down against the bed.

"Yeah, yeah." Mat waves the comment away, as he's heard it a million times.

"So...tell us who the lucky girl is." Rob says, leaning his chin on is hands.

"Ashley, obviously. haven't you seen the billion pictures they've taken together?" Mat says.

"Why do you have to ruin my fun!" Rob whines, clearly wanting to question me even further. I chuckle, and Mat rolls his eyes.

"Well you're not exactly a very good troll," he says, causing Rob's jaw to drop in disbelief. "and if you really want to have fun, you ask him questions about her. Like for example, so Mitch, how far have you gotten with Ashley?" I feel my face start to turn red, and Rob looks even more shocked.

"Because I'm not the jag master admiral, who just throws out those kind of questions. Honestly, do you even-" Rob is cut off when Mat sees my expression.

"Woah. Mitch," he pauses, gasping. "DID YOU FUCKING LOSE YOUR VIRGINITY TO HER?" I can feel my face getting redder, which is as good as an answer for Mat.

"HOLY SHIT YOU DID! MITCHELL HUGHES ISN'T GAY! HE FINALLY LOST HIS VIRGINITY! HE-" I cut him off my throwing a pillow in his face.

"SHUT UP." I yell at him, my cheeks burning. Rob looks at me in awe for a second, but then quickly turns away, blinking, trying to process. Mat, however, wasn't taking it as lightly.

"You took her's too, didn't you?" Mat says, quieter this time, holding the pillow I flung at him as a shield.

"You don't ever shut up, do you? Are you on drugs or something?" I say, blushing even deeper, if possible. 

"Chocolate milk." Rob answers, out of his daze. We all laugh, and the matter is let go.

"Well, I think this night was interesting enough. I'm going to go home before Mitch explodes with how hard he's blushing right now. Rob, you about ready?" Mat asks, getting up and stretching. I don't object, not wanting to dwell on this matter any longer.

"Uh, sure dude. And yeah, I feel like if he turns any redder his head will actually explode." Rob jokes.

"Mmhmm, well the door is over there." I say, gesturing out of the room. They laugh and leave.

"Say hello to Ashley for me tonight on Skype!" Mat calls, and I would throw something much heavier than a pillow at him if he were still here.
