Avi's pov/
Everything is normal like usual at rehearsals except Scott. He seems to be acting a little different. He's quieter than usual and not as energetic. it's not a hang over because he has those about every monday but this is different. He's nervous or distracted or something. I don't know. I'll talk to him later when we aren't so busy.
We are all sitting down at lunch and Scott is still acting unusual. "hey Scott, why are you so quiet today?" I asked breaking the silence between the group of five "I'm just tired" he replied quietly. "wait, I know this Scott. Scott likes someone" Mitch smirked causing Scott's cheeks to turn red "ohhh what's his name?" Kirstie asked in a really girly way. "nobody" Scott mumbled "oh come on man, we won't judge" Kevin tried convincing him. "it's not a big deal" Scott replied "if it's not a big deal then why won't you tell us?" Mitch asked "because I don't want to and I know he doesn't like me because he's straight!" Scott growled and walked off. "well Avi you started it so you fix it" Kevin told me "I started it?" I asked "you asked him why he was being so quiet so you started it" Mitch said "fine but if I come back with a black eye then you two are both getting black eyes. If you were a guy then I'd punch you too Kirstie" I threatened before walking of to fine Scott.
I found Scott in the bathroom sitting on the counter. "hey Scott we are really sorry for pissing you off" I apologized "it's fine it was my fault" he mumbled "no, it wasn't your fault. I would've done the same thing if I was in that situation" I told him "It's fine, I don't blame you guys for wondering. we are all best friends and always know each other's secrets so it's my fault" he sighed "please don't get mad at me for asking but can you at least tell me? I won't tell anyone else. if I do then I'll let you beat the shit out of me or what ever you want" I asked "close and lock the door" he sighed so I listened. He stood up and looked at the floor. He stepped closer to me and connected our lips. I hesitated for a second then just went with it.
I pulled back and looked at him worried. "I'm sorry" he whispered backing away from me. "do you really like me like that?" I asked and he nodded. I looked at him then kissed him again. "I love you Avi" Scott whispered briskly "I. I love you too Scott" I whispered back causing him to smile. "so does that mean we are dating?" he asked "well if you want, I guess we can" I replied awkwardly "so you will be my boyfriend even though you're straight?" he asked "well I'm about as straight as a rainbow if I have a boyfriend" I smiled and he hugged me. "I love you, I thought you were going to hate me" he whispered "I don't hate you nut let's not tell the others that we are dating and that I'm gay" I sighed "ok. I'm fine with that and let's see where this goes before we tell people" he agreed. "well let's go finish lunch" I smiled and we walked out of the bathroom.
"hey it's your lucky day, you won't have matching black eyes" I told Mitch and Kevin "bitch you give me a black eye and mess up this perfection then I will stab you" Mitch threatened "We are really sorry Scott" Kirstie apologized "it's fine. Avi helped me calm down so everything can just go back to normal" Scott replied and we finished lunch.
We finished rehearsals and I was about to get in the car when Scott walked over. "I'll come by your place later if that's ok" he said quietly "how bout seven?" I asked "fine. and that's so cliche" he smiled and went back to Mitch's car. I smiled and got into my car and drove to my apartment. I got to my apartment and changed into sweat pants and my apartment complex's air conditioning unit broke so I just go shirtless when I get home.
I heard a knock on the door so I got up and answered it. I let Scott in and he smiled at me. "damn why is it so hot here?" he asked "building's air conditioning is out" I replied simply and offered him some water. "thanks" he smiled and we sat on the couch. "so what does Mitch think you're doing right now?" I asked "he thinks I'm at a party and of course him being Mitch doesn't like going to late parties" He replied. I sighed and rested my head on his shoulder. Scott looked down and laced our fingers together. "I love you" he smiled "I love you too" I returned his smile and looked at him. He leaned forward and connected our lips starting a very long make out session.

I looked at the time and saw I've been at Avi's apartment for three hours meaning it's ten o'clock. "hey Avi?" I asked "yeah?" he smiled "can I at least tell Mitch? He's my best friend and keeping such a big secret from him doesn't feel right" I asked "yeah as long as he doesn't tell anyone else" he replied "alright well we have a music video to make early tomorrow so I better go" I told him. "ok, I love you" he replied so I stood up. "I love you too" I smiled and gave him a quick kiss before I left.
I got back to Mitch and I's apartment and Mitch was on the couch watching spongebob, cuddled up with his blanket while eating ice cream. "I thought you'd be in bed" I chuckled and sat next to him. "I felt like watching spongbob" he smiled and paused the tv. "well I need to tell you something that you can't tell anyone. not even the rest of the band or your family" I said "ok deal. if I tell anyone you get to stab me or what ever you want" he replied "I have a boyfriend" I smiled "what's so secret about that?" he asked "it's Avi" I told him "ohh. Wait. holy shit are you serious? Avi? Kaplan? the bass in Pentatonix. the band we are in. one of the three straight people in the band?" he asked "yes now please don't tell anyone or else we will both kill you" I said "but. how the hell? When?" I asked "when I stormed off at lunch you sent him to talk to me I kissed him and he went with it and agreed to be my boyfriend" I explained "ohhh. but wait, I thought he was straight" he stated "not anymore. he's one of us now" I smiled "well let's get one thing straight. now that you told me this I know you were over at his place because if you were really at a party it would be like midnight and you're not even a little bit drunk and you don't even smell like alcohol" He smiled "you know me too well now put the ice cream away and go to bed" I chuckled "one more spongebob episode?" he whined "Fine, stay up but don't complain when you are extremely tired when we have to get up at seven in the morning to start filming our music video" I told him "fine I'm going to bed just because I hate having bags under my eyes" he sighed and turned the tv off.
We got to the set where we are making our radioactive music video. "nobody can know" I reminded Mitch before we got out of the car. apparently my jacket didn't make me look beat up enough so I started throwing it in the dirt. I got bored of just hitting it on the dirt so I laid on the floor and did a weird tap dance thing on it just for fun. Avi walked by and laughed at me. I picked up my now extremely dirty jacket and put it on. We got into our places and started filming for about five ours before lunch.
I walked around and finally found Avi. "finally I've been looking for you" I smiled "same where have you been looking?" he replied "over by the old house remains thing" I told him. "I was looking over by where you were but at least we found each other" he smiled and I looked around. Everyone is on the other side of the lot behind the torn up house so I leaned down and planted a quick kiss on Avi's lips. "I love you" I whispered "I love you too" he smiled and we walked over to where everyone was eating lunch.
We sat down and everyone looked at us. "Mitch you better not have" I growled "I didn't say anything I swear to god" He said "Avi why didn't you tell us you're gay?" Kevin asked "how'd you find out?" Avi asked "well you're kind of bad at hiding it because I went to see where you two were and saw you guys kiss so it's kind of self explanatory" Kirstie explained "I'm sorry" Avi said quietly "we aren't mad or disappointed, we just want to know why you didn't tell us sooner" Kevin said "I don't know" Avi replied still really quietly "you do know. you just don't want to tell us" Kirstie said "just leave me the fuck alone about it! I didn't know how to tell you guys that I'm gay!" Avi shouted and stormed off. "you've got to be fucking kidding me guys" I said disappointed then went to find Avi.
I found him sitting where Kevin started out in the video. I sat next to him and looked at him. "this was a bad idea" he said "well, do you love me?" I asked "yeah?" he replied confused "would you give up anything to stay with me?" I asked "yeah, what's your point?" he asked "you're lying to yourself when you say it's a bad idea because you're just saying it's a bad idea to love someone" I explained "I'm sorry" he apologized "it's ok. I know how you feel. everyone feels awkward or like everyone is mad or disappointed in them after coming out" I assured him "I love you Scott" He smiled slightly "I love you too Avi" I returned his smile the kissed him.
We went back to everyone else and they all looked down at the table ashamed. "we are really sorry Avi" Kevin said "we shouldn't have said the things we did" Kirstie said "it's fine guys. at least I don't have to hide something this big from my best friends" Avi smiled "hold up so when did you decide you're gay?" Kevin asked "after I kissed him yesterday" I smiled "when did that happen?" Kirstie asked "when you told me to go talk to him after he admitted to liking a straight guy. which was me" Avi smiled "well ok" Kevin said awkwardly "wait so you two are a couple?" Kirstie asked "yes" I smiled "what is Kirstie going to say she's a lesbian so you guys can leave the black guy as the only straight one here?" Kevin asked "you are fully aware that I have a boyfriend right?" Kirstie asked "and I'm still single" Mitch randomly pointed out "you'll find a guy. it just takes time and it's hard when we are always working" Avi smiled "well look who became the king of gay relationship advice already" Kevin said sarcastically "Shut up before I shove your own foot down your throat" Avi threatened "ok let's get back to filming" one of our crew members said so we threw our trash away and went back to our places.
We finished filming so we all decided to go over to Mitch and I's apartment to just hang out and have a couple beers. I laid across the couch so Avi laid on top of me. "well that leaves us the floor" Mitch sighed "deal with it" I mumbled causing a harsh glare from Mitch. Avi rested his head on my chest and I smiled. "I love you" I mumbled "I love you too" he mumbled back. I accidentally fell asleep while everyone was talking and drinking. Except for Avi who I'm pretty sure fell asleep on top of me.
