"So, is there anything in you're mind today, Scotty?" Mitch asks, glancing down at his menu. After joking around for about ten more minutes they realized that they were on a time limit. They both needed to get back to work, so they sadly had to stop messing with each other.

Scott looks up, lightly biting his lip. He didn't know why he was nervous about telling Mitch about Kayla. It's not like he was going to let anything happen. Scott just wanted to keep those parts of his life separate. When Mitch looks up he notices how nervous his boyfriend looks. The brunette imeditley grabs Scott's hand and give it a small squeeze.

"Scotty, what is it? You know that you can tell me anything."

"I know that I can. It's not even that big of a deal." Scott says, chuckling nervously. He runs a hand through his hair before looking back to Mitch. Mitch just sits there, patiently waiting for Scott to be ready. "So, um... Kayla asked me if I would have lunch with her later this week."

"Ok, and what did you say?"

"I said yes." Scott says, not being able to look Mitch in the eyes. He still didn't know why he was feeling so guilty about this. It's not like he would ever cheat on Mitch. Scott loved him far too much for that. "That's ok with you, right? You know that I won't go if it makes you at all uncomfortable."

"Scott, I completely trust you." Mitch smiles. He brings their intertwined hands together and kisses Scott's. "It's Kayla that I don't compelety trust. I know that you guys need a good relationship though. You'll always share Asher, and I get that."

"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" Scott asks, all of his worries fading away.

"I don't think you have." Mitch says. Scottjust chuckles and shakes his head.

"Now you're just fishing for complements."

"You're the one that asked!" Mitch exclaims, trying to act like he's mad. Both boys end up cracking up. They would never be able to stay mad at each other, they couldn't even fake it.

"Well, just for your information, Mitchie. I do love you a lot." Scott says, a smile still evident on his face. "More than words could ever be able to describe."

"I love you, ya cheese ball."

Scott laughs and looks at Mitch, their eyes locking onto one another. They often got lost in each other's eyes. Scott just couldn't find anything better to look at on most days. There was absolute perfection sitting in front of him, why would he look at anything else? They keep their gaze on each other until the waitress arrives.

The couple is cuddling in bed, talking about how the rest of their days at work went. It was a little past nine o'clock so all of the kids were either asleep or in their own rooms. Scott and Mitch loved their children, they could just be a lot to handle. It was nice for the two men to just be able to be with each other sometimes.

"How was work, sweetheart?" Scott asks, tracing patterns on Mitch's bare back. "Is your boss still annoying you?"

"No, I think he finally got it through his thick skull that I'm seeing someone." Mitch chuckles, nuzzling his head closer to Scotts chest. "I only had to tell all of my co-workers that I moved in with someone."

Scott smiles. "I'm glad that he's finally backed off. Have you been sleeping better?"

"I... I don't know." Mitch sighs. "I sleep the whole night but he's still in my dreams. I think I liked it more when I woke up in the middle of the night. At least then the nightmare would end..."

"Dont worry, Mitchie. I'll protect you." Scott says, his heartbreaking at Mitch's words. He wanted his boyfriend's life to be pain free. Mitch didn't deserve to ever be scared, he hated Owen so much right now. "I'll always protect you. Even when the odds aren't in my favor."

Mitch smiles and moves his head to press a kiss to Scott's lips. He knew that Scott would always be there for him. It didn't help how scared he was of Owen coming back. Mitch knew that there was nothing Scott could really do to stop his ex. Owen was a gang leader, there wasn't much anyone could do in the grand scheme of things. Mitch still found it comforting that Scott, at least, wanted to protect him.

That night the couple fell asleep in each other's arms. There was and is no way of knowing what's to come. The best they can do is just hold each other until it was all over. I'm that moment neither one of them were scared. Scott and Mitch were just enjoying each other's company. Everything would be fine as long they were together.
