Perfect Mitch Match: Glitch Tech Fanfic

Chapter 34: What do you say? Buds?

Third P.O.V

Everyone made it back at the Hinobi store. Mitch and Kitty parted ways when going to the bathroom. Mitch looks at her retreating form, his hand going out wanting to say something. To stop her and take it all back. But he didn't. Kit went to cry her eyes out and clean herself up before meeting Five and Miko in the game room for Pixel Panic. And, checking himself out in the mirrors. "MitchFTW here, offline edition. Bringing you stunningly handsome reflections on the day's events." Mitch said as she struck some poses in the many mirrors inside the boy's bathroom.

"This is Glitch Techs, not Mitch Techs." Mitch said, mocking Five. Not feeling the rogue Glitch that hitched a ride inside his jacket. "One Mitch Williams is worth, ten of those newbies." He said as he combs his hair.

He then looks at himself in the mirror again, his grin falling as he remembered his encounter with Kitty in the van earlier. He could hear the faint sobs coming from the vent that lead to the girl's bathroom that was right next door to the boys. His face turned guilty by the sound of it. Sighing as he leaned his hands on the sink, his shoulders going sluggish.  "Boosh..., what's wrong with me? I am a sucky boyfriend... maybe she is better off without me..." he said, guilty that once again he hurt Kit. His thoughts were cut off when the electricity crackled as there was a green glow behind him.

He looks at his gauntlet, seeing a detection of a glitch signature near by. Mitch approaches cautiously with his gauntlet ready to fire. He then sees the stall infested with glitch sludge. The same tentacles of the copy cat glitch from the house grabs at him as he screams, getting consumed by it. Kit was unfortunately already out of the bathroom by the time that  those events happened.

Still Third P.O.V

In the hang out room, Kit, Five and Miko was currently playing Pixel Panic. However they didn't make it pass the first wave yet as the game says 'game over'. Five and Kit out of their game at the moment. "What the nerds, you two? We're barely through the first wave! Head in the game my friends." Miko said. "Sorry. Just so done with Mitch. " Five said. Kit was glad they didn't poke at her as to why she was off her game. "Dude's, no emotions. Be the pixel, not the panic." Miko said as she booted up the game.

The doors then slid open, revealing Mitch with a weird magenta hat that says 'BUDS' on it. "Hey, hey, hey! Ooh! Is that the original Pixel Panic? I love this game! May I hop on?" Mitch asked as he hopped over the couch and accidentally landed into Kitty's lap. Making her confused but also blush, and feel squished. Five and Miko giving Mitch a weird look. "You want to co-op? with us?" Five asked suspiciously as she slightly pushed Mitch off and beside his sister, bringing her closer to him protectively.

Five didn't say anything before, knowing Kit wouldn't want him to in the first place, but he knew the 'Mitchuation' (=Mitch Situation) was bothering her too. He seen the look in her eyes that she was crying, no matter how much she tried to hide it. Not wanting the guy who  caused his sister to cry to be near her right now.

"Wearing a hat?" Miko said suspiciously. Kitty noticed that two and found it odd, seeing that Mitch usually doesn't let anything obscure his amazing hair. "Oh, um, the truth is, I thought about the things you said to me today, Five. And look man, you and Kit were right." Mitch said. "We were?" Five and Kit said together. "They were?" Everyone else in the room said in shock. "I can be selfish, mean and as phoney as my hair extensions. And, I wasn't treating Kit like the boss gamer queen she's supposed to be treated as." he said as he got up. His last remark making Kit blush but stare at him with a confused look.

"I guess when Glitch Techs turned my life into a video game, I kinda became some obnoxious video game character." Mitch said. "Does that make sense?" He asked as he turned around to them. All of them sharing a look, since it technically did make sense and could explain the behavior. "I guess games do allow us all to become our alternate selves." Five said with his arms crossed.
