I Will Help You

You Look Like Boyfriends

*The next day*

Scott felt pretty bad for having brought Alex over when Mitch was there. He only did it to distract his feelings of Mitch from growing any further.

11:29am.

Scott peaks into Mitch's room to see if he's still asleep.

Scott: Mitchy?

He whispers.

Mitch blushes hearing Scott call him "Mitchy".

Scott: Are you awake?

He smiles to himself before remembering last night as he rubs his neck.

Mitch: Yeah...

He nods while speaking in a soft voice.

Scott smiles and walks in, then sits on the edge of his bed.

Scott: So..I was thinking that maybe we could go to the zoo today?

Mitch rolls over to look at him.

Mitch: What are we? Kids?

He snaps then rolls back over.

Scott smiles at him.

Scott: No...but we can be!

Mitch giggles.

Mitch: Okay!

Scott: Hey! There's that smile!

Mitch hides his face.

With a laugh and a lean forward, Scott gently grabs Mitch's arms then slides to take his hands off his face.

Scott: Don't hide your face, Mitchy.

He looks confused.

Mitch: Why?

Scott: Because..

He stops.

Scott: Because...we have to go to the zoo...

Mitch's heart sinks a bit.

Mitch: Oh...okay....

Scott's smile makes one appear on him.

After a few hours, the two laugh and have a blast at the zoo.

*At the zoo*

Mitch: Stoooop! Oh my god!

He whines playfully.

Scott laughs while holding a funnel cake.

Scott: What? I'm not doing anything!

Mitch giggles his heart speeding laugh.

Mitch: Yes you are!

Scott: What am I doing?

He asks, stepping in front of the smaller man and walking backwards after throwing away his trash.

Mitch pokes his chest.

Mitch: You know what you're doing!

Scott: And that is?

Mitch: You keep doing things to try and make me laugh!

They both chuckle as he pokes his chest again.

Mitch: Now stop it!

He playfully demands.

Scott: Or what?

He asks as his eyebrows raise.

Mitch: Or I will....do something that...I..I am not sure of yet, but you won't like it!

Mitch says, trying to sound threatening.

Scott: Oh really?!

Mitch nods with a giggle.

Mitch: Yes. Really.

Without responding, Scott lifts and tosses Mitch over his shoulder and carries him around the zoo.

Mitch squirms and laughs.

Mitch: Scott! No! Let me down!

He squeals.

Before Scott can respond, an elderly woman smiles at them.

Lady: You too are so adorable!

She said.

Scott puts Mitch down as they both blush. Accidentally, they standing really close to the other.

Lady: Are you two together?

They look at each other and shake their heads.

Scott: No...

Mitch: He has a boyfriend...

Scott nods slightly as he looks down a bit.

Lady: Oh such a shame. You two seem mighty happy together!

A few hours later, they return home and decide to go the nearest pool.

Mitch smiles, wearing only his swim trunks while laying back on a beach chair. The sun shines bright but not terribly hot.

He relaxes as he watches Scott swim.

Scott: Come swim!

Mitch: But I'm comfortable!

He whines.

Scott: Fine!

Scott gets out of the pool and makes his way over to Mitch.

Mitch: Scott...what are you doing?

He asks as he sits up and takes off his shades.

Scott smirks and straddles him.

Mitch: Scott?

Mitch bursts out in laughter as Scott begins to tickle him.

Mitch: No!

Mitch begged as he squirmed around.

Mitch: Please?! Please, Scott please! Please stop!

He laughs, face red as tears fall from laughing too hard.

Scott: Come swimming with me!

He smiles, still tickling him.

Mitch: Okay! Okay okay okay! Just please stop tickling me!

Scott then lifts him up and tosses him in the pool.

Mitch: Scott!

He yells, unexpected to be thrown in the water.

Scott laughs.

Scott: What's wrong? Kitty don't like the water?

He teases.

Mitch: Just be quiet and help me up!

He says, trying to sound angry as he reaches his hand up to Scott.

When Scott's hand locks with Mitch's, he suddenly pulls Scott in the pool with him, causing a huge splash.

Luckily they're alone.

Before Scott can attack him, Mitch has already scurried out of the pool and back to his beach chair.

Scott smiles as he holds himself up with a pretzel floaty.

Scott:Can you believe that woman?

Mitch: What?

Scott: At the zoo..she said we look like boyfriends..can you believe that?

Mitch plays with his phone.

Mitch: Oh...yeah...

He fake laughs.

Mitch: Crazy...

Scott fake laughs too.

Scott: Boyfriends...HA!...

Mitch pulls up the camera on his phone.

Mitch: Hey!

He says with a happy look on his face.

Mitch: Smile!
