I came up with this one on a rainy day, and my dog was afraid of the thunder, like me, and it was adorable. I thought of this and had to do it. Enjoy!

Scott and Mitch walked to Starbucks on an overcast Saturday morning. It was about a mile away, and they felt like walking. They held hands, Mitch swinging their arms back and forth.

"It's gonna rain soon," Mitch said suddenly, looking up at the clouds with a scrunched up face.

"Yeah. That'll be... fun," Scott replied.

"Fun..." Mitch said thoughtfully.

"Hey, what's on your mind?" Scott asked.

"Hm? Oh, nothing."

"You're lying."

"No, I-" Mitch looked at Scott, afraid he would find out the secret.

"Tell me."

"No-" Truth was, Mitch had a HUGE crush on Scott. Any touch was valuable. When Mitch couldn't sleep, he went into Scott's room and stared at him sleeping.

"C'mon, you can tel me anything. Is it about a guy?" Scott suddenly got excited, but Mitch heard a sad note in there.

"Well-"

"What's he like?" Scott asked, looking down.

"Strong, tall, muscled, blond..." Mitch described th figure he was staring at. "Caring, with beautiful blue eyes, strong jaw, and..." Mitch wasn't sure whether he should reveal. "Yeah. That's about it." He shrugged, feeling his face turn red.

"Oh. Nice." Scott shrugged. The guy sounded like him, and he would have to pry later. He had a huge crush on Mitch, so any small hope was amazing.

"We're here." Mitch changed the subject. It had started to drizzle, and they were ready to be inside. The duo ordered their coffee and sat as the rain started to come down harder.

"Describe the guy more." Scott leaned across the table, staring into Mitch's eyes.

"Nah. I've told you enough." Mitch smiled shyly.

Ten or so minutes later, Mitch had dodged enough questions and was ready to go.

"Let's go."

"Let's wait for the rain to clear," Scott corrected. Mitch pulled out his phone and checked the forecast.

"Only gonna get worse from here," he shook his head.

"Let's go, then!" Scott threw his empty cup in the trash and dragged Mitch outside. It was raining pretty hard, so Scott started running, hand in hand with Mitch. A few minutes in, they started to get tired. They walked, laughing, arms around each other. They split, and walked a few inches apart. Then, lightened flashed and thunder clapped loudly.

"Ee!" Scott squeaked, shooting to Mitch's side with a frightened look.

"What?" Mitch laughed. "Afraid of the thunder?"

"Mhm. Let's get inside." Scott tried to take Mitch under some cover.

"No. We're getting home." Mitch laughed. Scott was so adorable, afraid like a kid.

"I'm nervous, Mitchie." Scott clung onto Mitch's sweatshirt.

"Well, go faster! Queen, if I'm not afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of." They ran until they made it to their house. They got inside as fast as possible, both crashing onto the couch. Mitch laughed and got up to grab a towel. Scott sat on the couch, trying not to seem traumatized.

"Tell me more about the guy." Scott poked his finger into Mitch's cheek when he got back.

"Well, where was I? Yes. He's beautiful, amazing, sweet, kind, strong... and has been my best friend since age ten."

"How long..."

"Years," Mitch confessed, burying his face in his towel.

"Wow. I love you, too, Mitchie." Scott hugged Mitch tightly.

"Like-"

"Yeah." Scott pulled the towel so that he could dry off too.

"So, we kind of have to leave for rehearsal in fifteen minutes." Mitch broke an awkward silence.

"Do we have to? I wanna spend all of my time with my new boyfriend!" Scott complained.

"Aw, me too. We need to go. We can't cancel on them." Mitch landed a kiss on Scott's cheek as he went to brush his long, tangled hair. Scott was left with a warm spot on his face, spreading through his body.

They were at rehearsals, constantly close.

"Why are you two so touchy all of a sudden?" Kevin asked. Kirstie gave them a silly grin. Scott and Mitch responded by kissing each other.

"Girls, guys, and gays! All attention here please! We need to get this recorded. Get to your places." Matt always put smiles on everyone's faces. Scott and Mitch kept getting distracted, but it was an overall good rehearsal.
