When You Need Me | Scomiche

Chapter 1

     Mitch woke up to a light kiss on the tip of his nose followed by another on his forehead, then one on his lips. He smiled into it and lifted his head up to make the kiss a little more firm. His eyes opened to long brown waves framing a handsome face.

     "Good morning, baby," Beau said, raising a hand to brush Mitch's short hair from his face.

     "Morning. What time is it?" Mitch sat up and stretched his arms over his head.

     "Almost eleven. I figured you would sleep late considering how long we stayed up last night. Don't forget you have a gig at four o'clock." At that Mitch jumped from the bed.

     "Beau! Oh my God! That only gives me like four hours to get ready!" He hopped off of the bed and power-walked to the bathroom to shower and get pretty for the camera today. Mitch leaned against the edge of the sink as he waited for the water to heat up and found himself thinking about the past two years.

     His life is very different now from what it was. When Avi decided to leave the band it changed everything for Pentatonix. found a new bass but people didn't seem as invested in the music as they used to be. Tensions were high due to the pressure to please and he was slowly losing the passion and couldn't seem to force himself to put as much effort into it as he used to. He could see Scott's enthusiasm leaving him too, and it left everyone feeling melancholy about the whole situation. Superfruit's music did well, but it wasn't talked about for long and by that Christmas, everyone had pretty much decided it was better to just take a break and recharge. However, now that break has lasted almost two years.

     Mitch pushed himself off of the counter and stepped into the steaming water.

     Over the two years, Avriel and the Sequoias were moderately successful. They came out with a new album and Mitch was so happy for him. Avi seemed content and Mitch wasn't that surprised to hear that he was getting married and expecting a baby sometime in the next couple of months. Kevin was happy and successful, still making crazy talented covers on YouTube and writing music for other artists. Kirstin was a name that everybody knew now. Mitch would guess every teen in the country was obsessed with her, and rightfully so. Her album did extraordinary well after Christmas when she was able to land a few collabs with some big names and she landed a few roles on Broadway that shot her into the limelight. She had called Mitch a couple of weeks ago asking him to feature on the new album but it just wouldn't feel right without--

     "Baby." Mitch jumped at the unexpected noise. "You've been in there for almost thirty minutes now. I have coffee on the counter and then we can pick out the outfits you'll bring to the shoot." He looked at Beau through the glass and nodded. He quickly finished, got out, wrapped himself in a towel and made his way to the coffee waiting for him. Beau was really great. Always taking care of Mitch and keeping him on track. He was a little lost after PTX went their separate ways and Beau helped him decide the next move of his career, which led him to model full time and singing, albeit very rarely, on the side. But, If he were honest with himself he was still feeling a little lost. He shook his head at his thoughts.

     "What are you thinking about?" Once again, Mitch startled at his boyfriend interrupting his thoughts. Beau's eyebrows scrunched with concern.

     "It's nothing really." He put on his best 'I'm fine' voice and smiled sweetly at the man, hoping he wouldn't pry for more. "Come on, mama has got to get a move on or we are gonna be late". He grabbed Beau's hand and dragged him down the hall to the closet.
