Chapter 6

"So Avi, what do you want to do tonight?" Scott asked once they had packed up their stuff and were back in the car on their way back home.

"Throw some meat on the grill, maybe add a few potatoes, have a drink or two and maybe jam a little bit..." Avi explained. "If it's fine with you that is? I mean I won our little race, but that doesn't mean that I want to force you to do something you don't like..."

"You're not, Love" Mitch returned. "I want nothing more than a quiet night in and BBQ, drinks and jamming sounds amazing."

"I agree" Scott returned. "Is you playing guitar involved?"

Avi smirked. "You bet."

Once they arrived at home, they took turns showering and preparing the small BBQ.

"Mitchy? Avi? I've got a message from Jonathan, it's important" Scott called when he came down from his shower, causing both of his boyfriends to come into the kitchen.

"What is it all about?" Mitch asked.

"Well..." Scott said. He got contacted by a news agency about your relationship status, because someone took photos of the little moment you had in the sea while I was reading..."

"Wow, okay, didn't know paparazzi were on us?" Mitch returned. "What did he tell them?"

"No comment" Scott said. "But he said that we should be prepared, because they'll probably publish the pictures. Along with the one of you from Texas it'll be obvious for them..."

"True" Avi said. "Do you want to do something about it, Scott?"

"I don't know" Scott returned. "I mean it's only a matter of time until someone takes a photo from either one of you and me or even from the three of us. So maybe... we should just wait it out? I think if we step out right now and say that we're in a polyamorous relationship it might get weird? I kind of want to wait for that? Or does anyone of you have a better idea?" 

"Yes" Mitch said immediately. "I think I have a good idea. You tell me what you think: We have a few things coming up. Not as Pentatonix, but as Superfruit. One is an invitation to a premiere next week. I won't be able to make it, because I'll be at a fashion show with Candice. You and Avi should go there together. I mean people know that Scott and I are close and people have seen us, Avi. So what's missing is the two of us being together. Then we're invited to perform at the GLAAD awards two days later. I want us to go there together as a triad. I wanted to ask you, if you want to before sending an email asking to put you down as our plus one, Avi, so here we are. What do you think?"

"I think this is the perfect idea" Scott returned. "Especially the GLAAD awards. I think it's the perfect occasion for our very first official outing. As for the premiere, I would love to have us going together, Avi. What do you think, Dear?" 

Avi nodded slowly. "I think I'd love to join you at the premier, Scotty. And I would love to be your plus one at the awards" he said sincerely. 

"Yaaay" Mitch said happily. "I'll send the mail out tomorrow and I'll text Candice to let her know that she needs to pencil you in for red carpet outfits." 

Avi smiled at his boyfriend. "You do that, Mitch. But only tomorrow, because tonight is our night. I won, remember?"

Mitch giggled. "Believe me, you don't need to pull the 'I won' card for that, because I just want to be with you, too" he said and leaned up to peck Avi's lips. "Everything else can wait until tomorrow."

"I agree. I just have to quickly reply to Jonathan, then I'm all yours" Scott said.

Avi nodded. "Awesome. Will you bring the drinks? I've put a bottle of white wine in the freezer, it should be nice and cold by now" he explained. "And water?"
