RETURN || SCOTT MCCALL [1]

Oneshot between the seasons

The door slams behind us, a normal occurrence now a days. I'm not sure that door has been nicely shut in weeks.

"So what is it this time? The way you ignored everything I said, or the way you stared at your plate the whole meal?" I snapped as he trekked his way up the stairs, following behind him, annoyed when he doesn't answer.

"How about the way the waiter stared at those boobs you have hanging out, or the way you wouldn't stop sighing impatiently?" he hisses once we were in his room, immediately stripping from his coat and kicking off his shoes.

My eyes narrow, arms crossing over my barely revealing top. "Screw you, Scott."

"You haven't, that's part of the problem!" he snapped, and a frustrated noise left my throat.

"God, why the hell would I, when you can hardly speak to me?" I growl.

He sends a glare at me. "Because you make it so easy to?"

"I make more of an effort than you do!" I shouted, running a hand through my hair. "And maybe if you made one too, we wouldn't always be fighting like two middle aged spouses in an outdated movie on Lifetime!"

Scott scoffs. "You think I want this?"

"I have no idea what you want!" I cry. "I have no idea!"

"Which is the problem all in itself." He takes a few steps closer but stops before he could breech even friendship zone.

I finally explode. "So tell me then! Tell me what you want, because I'm not a mind reader!"

I'm not. I never was, per say, but before everything quite literally snapped I was closest thing to it.

That melts the anger right off both of our faces, our scents drained from it as well. Because we used to know these things, and now we're strangers.

It was quiet for a minute, and I hesitate to take a step towards him, both of our gazes beneath us.

"As much as neither of us want to admit it, this.." I gesture half-heartedly between the icy five meters of distance between us. "Whatever this is, it's not working. We're not the same people we were before-"

Scott scoffs, turning around to the look out the window, head shaking. "God, Indi, pick something more cliche!"

"I don't see you adding any input!" I snap, arms crossed, this whole thing raising "nostalgia" of all of the fights we used to have over his continued, undying infatuation of Allison.

"Because you've barely given me a chance to open my mouth!" he argues, and my eyebrows skyrocket at the gall of that statement. "You're rambling on and on about how we've changed, or whatever-"

"You think we haven't?" I spit out harshly. "You think we're the same two kids we were at the start of all of this?"

He turns around to glare at me. "Of course not. But we weren't the same two kids we were when you came back, either."

"So what? Scott, this isn't working." I state, and a brief flash of pain flits across his face before he's stoic again.

"And I know that." he starts calmly, eyes settling on his feet. "But.."

"But what? I'll ask you again, what do you want!?" I cry, so beyond fed up with this conversation I couldn't even restrain myself from shouting anymore.

"I don't know!"

A silence settles over us, and I nod slowly, both of us at a standstill, unsure where to go from here.

"Okay," I start, backing towards the door, and he doesn't stop me. "Okay. So talk to me when youve figured it out."

And after that final cliche, Scott watches me leave, closing the door gently behind me.

Okay now Scott is dumb and her hooks up with Kira and Indi finds out. He took her "figure it out" as "let's take a break" and it's a whole Ross and Rachel fiasco.

They then do specify they are taking a break , with terms and that includes making sure that if the other person ever wants to get back together again, they don't get with anyone else.

Well you can see where this going.

Scott has sex with Kira.

Indi then unravels Kira and Scott's little relationship before she returned, and how Scott immediately dumped Kira. How Kira would constantly text Scott and try to get him back, and fake being friends with Indi and how Kira immediately jumped back in the Scott train after Mexico.

Obviously Indi cuts then both off.

And Scott and Indi haven't spoken in months and that's where season 5 begins. :)
