show (scomiche)

Scott smiles as he opens the program for the show he's seeing. He's seeing The Little Mermaid at Arlington High School and his boyfriend of 2 years, Mitch, is playing Sebastian.

It's their closing performance—Scott barely got here in time.

Mitch has no idea he's here.

Scott wasn't supposed to come back home from college for another month, or so Mitch thought. Little did he know, Scott fibbed to him so he could surprise him.

Scott feels nostalgia as he looks around the theater, he remembers performing as many a character here, and he almost wants to get emotional but the lights are turning off and the curtain is rising.

And after a few scenes, Mitch comes on, wearing a red suit, a red top hat, red crab claws, and talking in a Jamaican accent.

He's adorable, Scott thinks, I missed him so much.

Mitch doesn't have any big scenes for a while, but Scott is very happy to see Kirstin playing Ursula, and Kevin and Matt playing her eels, Flotsam and Jetsam. This is Kirstin's first year doing the school musical, and she's a senior. Scott's glad that she finally did it.

Before Scott even realizes it, Mitch starts singing Under the Sea. The smile slapped on Scott's face doesn't falter for even a second, and he's pretty sure that he was blushing the whole time, too. He can't help it.

The rest of the show goes by fairly quickly and Scott thinks that Mitch stole the whole thing. Not that he's biased...

He remembers Mitch texting him that nobody was coming specifically for him for this particular performance, so Scott doesn't expect him to be out in the lobby meeting people.

He starts walking towards the boys dressing room when he hears Mitch humming one of the songs from the show.

Scott turns the corner to see Mitch facing the mirror, putting his makeup away. There's nobody else in the dressing room, they're all mingling in the lobby. It isn't until Mitch looks back up into the mirror that he notices Scott is there.

"Scott?" Mitch turns around, "Scott! Baby! Oh my god, you're here!" He quickly runs to Scott and nearly tackles him in a hug. "Did you see the show?"

Scott nods and hums an affirmative, "You did perfect. I got you flowers," He hands them to Mitch. "I missed you so much." He hugs Mitch again.

"Baby," Mitch says, content with everything right now, "When do you go back to school?"

"My semester's over," Scott smiles.

"But I thought—"

"I lied. Wanted to surprise you." Scott says, taking Mitch's hand.

"I'm happy you did," Mitch gives Scott a quick kiss. "I love you. Thanks for coming to see me."

"I love you too," Scott says.

"Scott?!" A voice says, and Scott knows exactly who it belongs to.

"Hey, Kirstin!" Scott hugs her, although it's kind of difficult with her tentacles in the way. "You did amazing!"

"I'm so glad I did the musical this year," Kirstin grins, "I wish I'd done it sooner."

"Scott! Bring it in, man!" Kevin says, Matt following closely behind. Scott hugs the both of them.

"Hey! Hands off. He's mine," Mitch jokes, and Scott wraps an arm around his waist.

"He's right," Scott shrugs, laughing.

"Excuse us for wanting to say hi," Matt teases back, and they all laugh.

"You guys all did amazing. Although I am a little biased."

After a few minutes they all head home. Mitch's parents are quick to invite Scott to spend the night, so they're sharing Mitch's bed for the night.

"You're still coming with me to UCLA next year, right?" Scott asks.

"Of course," Mitch cuddles closer to him, "I've gotten in to their program and everything. I can't stay this far from you again," Mitch exhales, "It's too rough for me."

"Hey," Scott says, "I'm home for the summer, and in the fall we'll go there together, okay?" Scott smiles when he feels a kiss placed on his jaw.

"I can't wait," Mitch says. "Take a picture with me." He says, opening up his phone.

The picture ends up being Scott kissing Mitch's temple, and Mitch smiling and blushing, with his eyes closed. Mitch captions it then posts it.

my guy is hooooooooome💓 @scotthoying

Mitch smiles when he sees Scott pull out his phone and comment.

scotthoying: love love looooooove you baby

"I'm happy you're here," Mitch says, pulling himself under the covers.

Scott joins him. "I am too. Going to sleep so early?"

"I had tech week and a full weekend of shows," Mitch whines, and Scott chuckles and kisses Mitch's forehead.

"Goodnight, Mitchy. I love you."

"I love you too."
