"..and this is a 10 000 dollars Armani suit from our new collection.We can also look for something matching for your groomsmen if you like this one.Would you like to try it on?"

"Yeah,I guess so."

Scott nodded absentmindedly and  got up ,following the saleswoman-Mitch sighed with relief .He was unconsciously holding his breath all this time.He continued to stare at the wall in front of him,thinking.He wasn't sure why he agreed to this,going shopping with Scott for his wedding.Yet again,it was hard for him to justify a lot of the things he did for Scott.

He didn't know how the last few weeks passed by.Strangely,life went on even after it felt like it split in two,that night.Mitch continued to go to classes,and Scott to work.Kirstie kept having coffee with him when Scott was too busy.Mitch and Jo continued to bicker,only this time Jo did it fondly and often looked at him with something resembling pity.

The glimmer in her eyes was unmistakable.She said it was awful for her too,but deep down Mitch knew she was happy:she was marrying the man she loved,after all,regardless of the consequences.

The minute Scott left his house that morning,he got up from his bed and decided to block everything out.His walls were built up once again,taller than ever.He smiled whenever Kirstie asked if he was fine.He had to be,for Scott.He helped Jo with all the wedding planning and bit his tongue whenever a confession was about to pour out of him.He clenched his teeth so hard his jaw started to hurt.He swallowed back tears,and added a few laughs too.

All in the hopes that Scott would believe he was truly over and done with it.His goal was to reassure him this marriage was ultimately the best thing for him and the firm.Mitch was ready to stand by him at the altar,even if it meant dying a little inside.Ok,maybe more than just a little.

"So tell me,do I look stupid in this ,because I'm honestly thinking about dressing in jeans and a tshirt."

Scott had big,deer eyes when he looked at Mitch.He felt gawky and awkward in such a fancy tuxedo,and everything felt tight and awful.Much like his life.

Mitch gasped a little and almost licked his lips,showing a smug smile.Scot didn't look stupid,not even a little.In fact,he knew that if he were to grab him by his tie and whisper in his ear all the thing he wanted to do to him while in that suit,he would go red instantly.Mitch had to pretend his pupils weren't dilated and instead try and sound casual.

"You don't.You look..amazing.Yeah,that's the word."Mitch briefly looked him in the eye,and Scott's heart broke yet again.

"You two will make a wonderful couple."

Mitch whispered,and then he said nothing more,no words,just breathing,with tears in his eyes.He looked down and said nothing.

He was realizing once again he was in no way 'over and done' with it.As much as he liked to block it out,his heart was breaking,and it wasn't a one time,painful for a second and then calm for an eternity kind of snap,it was continuous and awful,and it happened at different levels of pain each time Scott looked at him,each time he saw him with Jo,each time he read a new article on the 'incredibly luxurious flower arrangements the Hoying's chose for their wedding ' .
