Tech Rehearsal
It was February. The start of tour. The whole band gathered in LAX. Scott showed up with his new hairstyle (dyed white) and everyone was just really excited.
They were flying out to Nashville for tech rehearsal before touring.
Dejan Tubic was choreographing the show but things were going so well. Avi hurt his knee at the gym a few days prior. Kirstie had trouble going up the ramps and it just wasn't going as planned, I guess.
"Okay everyone take five. Get water if you need it then come back." Dejan announced.
Avi was on the phone to the doctors in LA explaining the whole MRI situation.
Scott was curled up in his onesie on the couch next to Avi, his hood covering his white hair and hiding his face in his arms as he was curled up fetal style.
Kirstie noticed that Scott was looking miserable and went up to him. She sat behind him and pushed the hood off his head.
"You okay, honey?" She asked softly, running her hand through Scott's hair.
"No.." Scott mumbled and hid his face even more.
"What's wrong?"
"He broke up with me."
"Who?"
"Alex.."
"Oh honey, I'm so sorry. You'll be okay I promise you."
"Thanks Kit. Can I tell you a secret?"
"Of course."
"I like Mitch." He whispered, making sure Mitch didn't hear.
"That is so adorable."
"Don't tell."
"I won't, honey." She hugged him close.
"Alright everyone let's carry on." Dejan called.

"Hey Scott, you okay?" Mitch asked when they got into their separate beds in their shared hotel room.
"I'm fine."
"You didn't look fine."
"Maybe because I got fucking dumped!"
"Oh god, I'm so sorry Scott. I didn't know."
Silence overcame them and no one spoke. Mitch didn't know what to say.
"Mitchie?" Scott asked after a while.
"Yes?"
"Can we cuddle and talk?"
"Of course. Come here big boy."
Scott got out of his bed and squished into Mitch's bed. He wrapped his arms around Mitch and he shifted so he was facing Scott.
"Are you okay?" Mitch asked quietly.
"Now I am."
"So what happened?"
"He started hanging out with some model dude and broke up with me because he didn't have feelings for me anymore." Scott sniffled and hugged his bestfriend closer.
"I'm sorry Scottie. Don't worry you'll find someone who you will love and will love you back."
"I think I already have."
"Wow that's quick."
"It's you." Scott muttered.
"Who?"
"You."
"Really?"
"Really. I've loved you since I met you. But I decided to push my feelings to the back of my mind because you dated Travis and I thought I didn't have a chance with you. And I probably don't now as well. I should go back to my bed."
Mitch was in awe. He kept his arms around Scott, restraining him from going back to his bed.
"I love you too." Mitch said.
"Will you be mine then? Please."
"Of course." Mitch captured Scott's lips in a sweet kiss and rested his head on his chest, slowly falling asleep.

"Babe, come one wake up. We're performing for Antwerp today." Scott started tickling Mitch in attempt to wake him up.
"Okay okay. I'm awake."
They finished the North American tour and flew to Europe. They have told the rest of the band and crew that they were dating. It was just the fans.
They got ready and dressed. Scott bought Starbucks for the two of them and the whole band went out to explore the city.
Scott held Mitch hand all the way. Jeremy flew over to spend some time with Kirstie. Avi and Kevin were hanging out together. And Esther and Darien were also hanging out together.
"Today was totally fun." Mitch said.
"It definitely was." Everyone agreed.
They all gathered together in a circle and said a prayer before the show like they always do.
The show went great. The fans went ballistic when Scott and Mitch announced that they're dating.
Scott wrapped his arms around Mitch and picked him up, spinning him around when they got into their hotel room.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
