Mitch was waiting in the cafeteria for Scott to arrive. He didn't have to wait long though, as the blonde arrived a few minutes after him.
"Hi," Scott said, smiling brightly. Mitch greeted him back with a matching smile on his face.
"So, what do you want to do?" Scott asked his new friend.
Mitch hesitated a moment. "Do you mind hanging out at my place? My parents will be expecting me home, since I didn't really have friends when I left there."
"That's cool. My parents think I'm going to Kirstie's after school, but she's sick. I hope you'll get to meet her soon though." Scott explained.
"Is she your girlfriend?" Mitch asked, his disappointment a little evident in his voice, which made Scott smirk.
"No, she's my best friend. Besides, I thought I told that bully this morning that I was your boyfriend." He winked at Mitch flirtatiously.
Mitch's eyes widened. "Really? You'd want that?" He asked insecurely.
Scott smiled and nodded. "I'd like that, but only if you want that too. I like you."
The brunette's face lit up and he smiled hugely at the blonde. "I like you too!" He said. Shyly he reached for the blonde's hand. "We should go, before my parents get worried."
The blonde nodded and followed the other teen out of the school. They walked hand in hand talking about everything and nothing. Both felt like they'd known each other their entire lives.
After what seemed like no time at all, they arrived at Mitch's house. His mother opened the door as soon as they arrived and approached the young brunette. "Mitchell Grassi, where have you been? I was worried sick about you," she exclaimed, hugging him tightly.
Mitch, not letting go of the blonde's hand, blushed deeply at his mother's behavior. "I was just hanging out with Scott after school." He explained.
She smiled at the blonde. "I'm glad you're finally making some friends." She said. Mitch rolled his eyes at the word 'friends', but decided to ignore it.
"Can we go hang out in my room now?" He asked his mother. As soon as she nodded, he dragged Scott up the stairs to his room, shutting the door behind them.
Scott was looking around the room. "You play piano?" He asked seeing the keyboard in the corner of his room. Mitch nodded. "Will you play something for me?" The blonde asked quietly.
Mitch smiled. He loved playing music. He walked over to the instrument and sat down, gesturing for Scott to sit down on the bed before him.
The brunette started to play the melody of 'Halo' from Beyoncé. Quietly he hummed along to it, before singing just as quietly, hoping Scott wouldn't notice.
"Wow!" Scott exclaimed, "You have an amazing voice, Mitch." The brunette smiled at the compliment and sang a little louder.
When he finished the song, Mitch stood and walked closer to the blonde. "That is my favorite song," Scott admitted.
Mitch grinned, "It's mine too! Beyoncé is amazing!" Scott nodded in agreement.
"Though I have to admit that when you sing it, it's even better." Mitch blushed deeply and turned away from the other teen.
Scott stood and made Mitch face him once more. He put a finger under his chin, making eye contact. He slowly leaned closer and kissed the brunette's lips lightly.
Mitch kissed back immediately. When they pulled apart, he sighed happily. He bit his lip, smiling widely at his new boyfriend. For the first time in a long time, Mitch was truly happy and it was all thanks to Scott.
