Triphilia - together forever | one-shots

Apart |5|

After the fallout, Scott had holed himself up in their shared bedroom. He hadn't locked the door, but he didn't expect Mitch or Avi to come to him, soon. 

He actually didn't know what to expect. This fight had been the worst they ever had. Usually they had misunderstandings and would discuss a lot, but it had never been that bad. They had never yelled at one another.

Scott didn't know what to do, he just knew that it was a messed up situation which they needed to solve, soon. He knew that one of them would need to make the first step, yet it seemed easier to him to just wait it out. So he laid down on the bed and sighed softly. His first instinct was to grab his phone and spend the time browsing Twitter or Instagram, but his phone was still missing. So he simply laid there, staring into space until he fell asleep. 

He only woke up when the door opened and Mitch came into the room. "Mitchy? What... what are you doing?" Scott sat up and watched as his boyfriend ran into their en suite with his beauty case. 

"What does it look like? I'm packing my bags!" The smaller man said as he gathered everything he needed out of his part of the bathroom cabinet. 

Scott jumped up and followed his boyfriend. "What? Why? Mitch, please don't leave."

Mitch stopped in his tracks. He looked at his boyfriend. "I'm not leaving" he explained. "We're going out of town for the weekend. To the cabin. I have already packed up some stuff for Avi and me. Your phone is here, too. I'm charging it downstairs. Would you pack your own bags? I'll let Avi know that we're leaving in forty minutes." 

Scott listened to his boyfriend in astonishment. His voice sounded as if he wouldn't put up with  anything, so Scott didn't even try to argue. "Yes... I'll pack my bags..." he therefore replied. 

"Is there anything else?" Mitch asked when Scott didn't move. 

Scott shrugged his shoulders. "Just wanted to apologise... I don't know what happened, why I reacted the way I did... I'm sorry. Are we going to be okay?" 

Mitch smiled slightly. "I accept your apology, Scotty. And I planned this getaway so we could take some time to work on our relationship. I really think that we'll be okay, but it won't be easy..."

Scott took a deep breath. "Thank you, Mitch" he said. "I'll pack now."

After he had gathered his stuff from the bathroom and closed the bag, Mitch softly knocked at the door of their second bedroom where Avi had hidden. 

Avi didn't say anything. 

"Avi, Love?" Mitch carefully opened the door and peeked inside. Avi was lying on the bed, back turned towards the door. He was wearing headphones, no wonder that he hadn't heard him knock. 

Mitch walked up to the bed and sat down on the side, startling Avi.

The bearded man pulled the headphones off his ears and turned around to face Mitch. "Hmm?" he hummed, not wanting to talk.

"Hey Avi... we're going to the cabin in forty minutes. I already packed our bags, all you have to do is get dressed, okay?" Mitch explained with a soft voice.

Avi furrowed his brows. "Cabin? I thought you had plans tonight? An appearance?" 

"I cancelled due to sickness" Mitch explained. "We need this time together. Time and quiet. Please get dressed and join us?" 

Avi couldn't help but smile at his boyfriend. The pain in his heart was still present, but still he was happy that Mitch had planned this. "Of course I will. Because I really want to solve this fight. Will Scott be there, too?"
