Chapter 21

Avi smiled at him before walking to the opposite side of the kitchen to complete whatever he was doing before. Scott turned the other way to walk out of the kitchen. As he was walking down the hall, he just barely noticed Mitch dart down the hall in front of him. Scott was concerned for a second, but he remembered that Mitch knew better than to eavesdrop. Scott walked into their room, and saw Mitch sitting on their bed with he knees to his chest. Scott gulped, but walked over nonetheless. "What's wrong, darling?" Mitch glanced up from where his head had been touching his knees. "I didn't mean to rush you." "Rush me?" Mitch nodded and put his head back down. "You should've taken your time. You just Marked me to stop my nightmares. I'm sorry they were bothering you." Scott sat next to him on the bed, and wrapped his arms around him. "They weren't bothering me. I was going to Mark you anyway, but the nightmares just made up my mind. It's not your fault."
