Moving Out
Scott sat on the couch and read the tweet over and over again.
'can't WAIT to actually set up a home studio in my new place. I am currently sans a ~workshop~'
He threw his phone on the couch and slouched down huffing. Why wouldn't Mitch tell him? Why is he moving out?
He heard the front door close and then Mitch walked into the living room.
"Hey Scott." Mitch smiled and walked to the kitchen.
"Hi. Mitch."
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Scott tell me something is bothering you.."
"It's nothing."
"Scott. Tell me."
"I said its nothing!!" He got up off the couch and went to his room, forgetting to collect his phone.
Mitch sat on the couch with a glass of water and turn on some random romantic movie that was on.
Scott's phone caught Mitch's attention. It was laying on the couch, Mitch couldn't help but reach over and grab it. He typed in the password which obviously was 'Alex' and the Twitter app was open with the tweet Mitch posted a couple of hours before.
He stared at it and thoughts were racing through his mind. Is Scott moody because he is moving out? But Alex is moving in. Why is he so upset?
He went to his room and packed a few things into cardboard boxes. His music playing but not loud enough to disturb Scott and whatever his is doing in his room.
A soft knock and the door creeping open caused Mitch to look up, holding a framed picture of him and Scott hugging.
"Can I come in?" Scott asked, softly.
"Sure."
Scott sat on the edge of Mitch's bed and looked at him and he put away the framed photos from his dresser and walls.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you what?"
"That you're moving out."
"I guess there wasn't a time for us to talk about it." He shrugged.
"W-when are you moving?"
"Tomorrow."
"What?!" Scott got up and stormed out the room, slamming the door behind himself.
Mitch curled up in bed holding the photograph of him and Scott close to his chest. A couple of tears rolling down his cheeks. He didn't think Scott would take it that way..
Later on Mitch walked out of his room quietly not to disturb Scott if he was asleep, considering it was 11pm.
He poured a glass of wine and sat down at their keyboard in the living room. He started to play a slow and soft melody quietly. His fingers gliding across the black and white keys. Tears cascading down his cheeks.
He held the last key. The note ringing in the air. Light footsteps hit the floor and Mitch looked up with teary eyes.
Scott saw the tears even in the dark room. The moon shone throw the balcony window and illuminated Mitch's face, his beautiful features showing but the tears were evident.
He wrapped his arms around Mitch's small and frail body and hugged him close. He pulls his best friend to the couch and they cuddled up.
"Why are you leaving me?"
"Because I cherish our friendship so much-"
"Then don't leave." Scott interrupted.
"Scott, you don't get it do you? Alex is moving in and all your attention will be on him. I don't want to be the awkward third wheel so I'd rather be alone than ignored."
Scott had no words. He didn't know what to say. He felt like someone just sellotaped his mouth with duct tape. He was unable to speak.
"Mitchie you know I would never ignore you. I'm so sorry you feel that. I really am. I didn't know you felt that way. You could have told me." He hugged his bestfriend closer.
"Scott my decision is made. I'm leaving tomorrow. We'll still see each other, hang out, go to rehearsal, work together. The only thing that is changing is the fact that we won't live together."
"But that means no more buying Starbucks for each other if that other sleeps in. Or watching spongebob. Or drinking Chardonnay. WHAT ABOUT SUPERFRUIT? And Wyatt?"
"I'll come over for SuperFruit. You can keep Wyatt. Now if you excuse me Scott but I'm tired." He untangled himself from Scott's arms and started heading for his room.
"Mitchie?"
"Scottie?"
"The song was beautiful."
"Only for you." With that Mitch turned around and walked out.
---
"This is really happening then?" Scott placed the last box into the trunk of Mitch's car.
"It is. I'm sorry Scottie."
"I'm just gonna miss you Mitchie. Nothing is going to be the same now." He wrapped his arms around the other man and hugged him close.
"Scott, it's not like I'm moving to another state or something. We're still gonna see each other. Take care of Wyatt for me. Promise me. Have fun with Alex." Mitch kissed Scott's cheek in a friendly manner and stepped out of the hug.
"I'll see you soon right?"
"Of course. Rehearsal in three days."
"I love you Mitchie. Stay safe."
"I love you too." Mitch sat into the drivers seat and started driving.
Scott stood in the parking lot, waving and crying. He was going to miss living with that dimpled goofball.
---
"C'mon Scott. It was his decision to move." Alex hugged his boyfriend close.
"I can't spare another minute looking at that cat cause he reminds me of Mitch so much. I'm taking him to Mitch." Scott got up off the couch and started packing Wyatt's things.
"Do you even know his adress?"
"Yes. Kirstie sent it to me. Are you coming with me or staying?"
"I'll drive you?"
"Okay."
When they arrived at Mitch's new apartment, Alex parked the car and stayed sat behind the wheel.
Scott grabbed Wyatt and his bag an walked to the apartment complex. He took the elevator upstairs.
Standing outside Mitch's door, Scott stared at the number. He placed Wyatt and the bag down on the floor and knocked, quickly disappearing behind a wall to hide.
"Wyatt? What are you doing here baby? Scott?" Mitch called.
Scott stayed put. He wasn't going to come out from his hiding place. A smile filled his face and he took the stairs back down.
Mitch picked up Wyatt and brought him inside his apartment. The kitty jumping out of his arms to explore the new place.
The brunette sat on the loveseat, pulling his knees to his chest resting his chin on top of them. His glasses rested in his slightly crooked nose as he read the note he found in Wyatt's bag when he was emptying it out.
'Dear Mitchie,
I couldn't spare another minute looking at Wyatt because he reminded me of you so much. I hope it's okay for me to just drop him off like that. But I'm sure you missed the little demon. I miss you. Loads. Can't wait to see you at rehearsal tomorrow. I know it's been two days but I miss you.
Love, Scawt xo'
Later that night Mitch was in bed with Wyatt by his side, almost falling asleep when his phone pinged. A message from Scott.

M: was falling asleep idiot. Wby?x
S: lay in bed, Alex is asleep but I can't.x
M: that's unfortunate. Cuddle up and you'll fall asleep.x

Mitch locked his phone and placed it back on the bedside table.

Scott basically ran inside the building where they had rehearsals whilst Alex trailed behind. When Scott saw Mitch sitting there he ran up to him and hugged the hell out of him.
Alex walked inside and saw Scott hugging Mitch really tightly. He knew Scott loved Mitch more than a friend and he thought it was about time to let him go.
"Scott, can we talk a minute?" He asked.
"Sure." He released Mitch and went to Alex.
"Scott you like him."
"Yes. He's my bestfriend."
"More than that."
"What made you think that?"
"Don't act dumb Scott. I know you were up late talking to him. I wasn't asleep. You love him and it crushes you that's he's moved out. I think it is time for us to break up and actually get with the people we have true feelings for."
"Alex.."
"Don't Alex me, just go get your man, Scott." Alex Smiled and hugged his now ex-boyfriend.
"Thanks Allie." Scott kissed his cheek and hugged him again.
"Anytime Scott. I'm not mad by the way. Have fun. I gotta run." They released the hug and Alex walked out.
Scott returned to the rest of the group and decided he would talk to Mitch after rehearsal.
---
"Mitch can we get coffee? We can talk." Scott offered.
"Of course. What about Alex?"
"He's the reason I wanna talk."
"O-okay."
*At Starbucks*
They sat in a booth at the end of the coffee shop, sipping their coffee and laughing.
"So what about Alex?"
"We broke up."
"Why?"
"Because..." Scott retold the whole story to Mitch, grabbing his hand on top of the table.
"You love me?" Mitch asked.
"Yes. More than anything Mitchie."
"What now? You live in our old apartment, I live in my new one what are we gonna do?"
"We'll work it out but now I have to ask you a question." Mitch gave a nod. "Will you be my boyfriend?"
"Yes. Of course Scott. I love you so much."
"I love you too." He kissed Mitch across the table and people around them started clapping and cheering.
