Duet: an Avi Kaplan fanfic

Messing with Scomiche

A/N: Hey, sorry it’s been a while and that this one isn’t very long, I’m trying to make them longer. But, this one does have some faux Scomiche in it…you’ll see. Hope you enjoy. As always, votes and comments are very much appreciated. Love y’all!

               Soon I come down and only Mel and Livvie are left in the room though Livvie is asleep as it is about 10pm. “I swear, I am going to murder you for that,” I tell Mel. Then I look at her face and the faux pissiness drains away. “What’s up?”

“I feel like there’s something Mitch is keeping from me. And I think he knows I like him because he keeps acting like he might be flirting or he might not. I am so frustrated and I don’t know what’s going on. Please, tell me you know something.” She says.

“Mel, I can tell you for certain, that Mitch does not like you in that way. You need to see what I found while I was upstairs.” I grab my laptop and open my closed tab. On it is a paused video from Scott and Mitch’s YouTube channel, Superfruit. I go back to where they started doing a commenting on comments section and hit play.

“’Did Mitch just come out?’” Mitch reads, “Well, if you mean that you went back in time to my high school in 2007, then, yes. I did just come out.”

“Oh, my god. No way! Mitch is gay?!” Mel yells, waking up Livvie.

“Why the hell are you guys yelling?” she mumbles.

“I just found out that one of the guys I like is gay. Oh, and he also said he married your boyfriend.”

“What the fuck? One, when did Mitch say that, that he’s gay and that he married Scott? And two, ‘one of the guys’? Who else is there Mel?” my twin asked.

“It was a video that Arya showed me. Mitch admitted that he came out as gay in 2007. Then almost immediately afterward, Scott and Mitch said they are married. And the other guy, if you must know, is Kevin.”

Livvie insists on seeing the video herself. I will admit, I could totally see it happening, you know, Scott and Mitch, Scomiche. If Scott wasn’t dating Livvie, I would believe it.

“Wow, that boy has been keeping things from me,” Livvie laughed.

A few days later, everyone is at Scott and Mitch’s apartment. Even Esther, whom I can’t believe I hadn’t met yet. Livvie, Mel and I have a plan to mess with Scott and Mitch, mostly Scott though. We just have to wait for the right time.

“Hey, Scott,” Livvie calls from the kitchen, “when were you going to tell me?”

“Tell you what?” Scott asks.

“That you’re cheating.” The room goes silent.

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“Oh, don’t pretend. Also, I don’t want to be a little cover story. You admitted it to the internet back in September, I’m not an idiot.”

“Again, I ask: What the hell are you talking about?” Scott is getting really, really frustrated and everyone is looking uncomfortable. Mel and I are just trying to not laugh or give anything away.

“About a week before your birthday, you admitted it on YouTube. You are not just cheating, but by the looks of it, you and your husband are keeping secrets from the rest of Pentatonix.” Everyone gasps and starts talking over each other. But I can see Scott getting it now. And looking at Mitch to see if he gets it.

He does. “Okay, fine. We didn’t tell you because we didn’t want to mess with the group dynamic.” Mitch says, very seriously while taking Scott’s hand. “We’ve been together for a long time and I, for one am done hiding how much I love this man!” and then, Mitch kisses him.

Scott pushes him away, rolling his eyes. “You know, Cheryl, that I love you. But I love Livvie now. In a different way, and I’m going to be with her. You missed your chance a long way back,” he laughs. Everyone else rolls their eyes and the day moves on.
