Nate walked out of his room to find Shane and Mitchie on the couch, still sleeping. Nate smiled a little, he didn't know what to think, but he did know that Mitchie was going to be happy. And that was most important to him.
Nate knew that he wasn't right for Mitchie. But Shane might be; Mitchie loved him. Mitchie hadn't stopped loving Shane, and Nate recognized that. Nate knew that taking her in would probably end like this, he was going out with someone else, and Mitchie was bound to find out. And she wasn't the kind of girl to get upset over something like that. But the thought of hurting Mitchie made Nate unhappy.
It was weird for Nate to continue with his daily activities, knowing that he was in a really uncomfortable position.
Shane and Mitchie woke up to the sound of Nate walking around the house and turned to look at each other, Mitchie blushed when she realized how close Shane was holding her, they had been way further than that, but for not talking to each other for as long as they did, that meant everything to them.
"You're so cute when you blush, but then again… when aren't you cute?" Shane made Mitchie giggle slightly.
Nate watched them interact; he thought they were cute together, but he'd never admit it, it was too weird for him to say.
