*How do you explain how much you feel for someone when words just aren't enough?*
Jax didn't care as soon as he got the 'come outside' text from Mitch he marched out knowing no one could stop him. Mitch stands on the opposite side of that door waiting for Jax to take his breath away.
With no fear and nothing to hold him back Jax opens the door, and the breeze from the door swinging open flows through Jax's hair as his eyes land on Mitch's. What's the perfect thing you could say to the love of your life you haven't seen in a week? "I love you" the words don't hesitate out of Jax's mouth causing Mitch's smile to disappear and his eyes to grow along with his shocked expression, he wasn't expecting that. Walking out and shutting the door Jax walks towards Mitch but keeps an appropriate amount of distance "I've never known what I wanted, I live life scared of what happens next because I'm tired of being hurt and let down. The moment you walked into my life I knew what I wanted. You save me countlessly, you literally ran into a burning building for me. You made me worth that Mitch and I cannot understand why you exist! Because you're way too good to be true. I love you more than words can explain" Jax pours his heart. Mitch feeling his body go completely numb as he stands there and smiles "and it's ok if you don't feel the same I just didn't think I could go another day without telling you" Mitch is still stuck and Jax waits for him to say something but he can't "say something please" Jax wants the moment to be over because it's kind of awkward now.
How do you explain how much you feel for someone when words just aren't enough? After preparing what he was going to say as soon as he saw Jax, not only did the sight of Jax made him forget everything but Jax just stole the words right out of his mouth. So how does he reply?
Moving towards Jax, Mitch does the last thing he's thinking, he kisses Jax. Mitch doesn't know what he's doing but that's the best he could come up with. Holding Jax's lips right between his Mitch closes his eyes and kisses the boy he's in love with.
Jax's whole body tingles as the sparks from their kiss runs through him, he can feel how good Mitch's lips feel on the tip of his fingers and toes. Their lips finally part but their heads remain close "why'd you do that?" Jax whispers
"Because I love you too" Jax pulls his head away looking into Mitch's eyes making sure he heard what Mitch said
"Did you just-"
"Yes" Mitch smiles "I love you Jax. I'm in love with you, I missed you, and I never want you to leave again" Jax feels the tears forming in his eyes as he hears the words he thought he'd only hear in his dreams. "I've been trying and fighting so hard to tell you and at the same time to not tell you. I don't know how to do any of this" they both laugh "but I know when I saw you that was the first thing I wanted to say till you beat me to it"
Tears of joy falls from his eyes as he laughs "I'm sorry"
"Hey don't cry" Mitch grabs his face using his thumbs to wipe his tears
"I can't help it, I've waited so long to hear those words Mitch" Mitch hugs him.
As they're hugging it dawns on Mitch that they're still standing in front of Summer's house "this is our spot isn't it?" He asks letting go of Jax
He laughs "oh god we need to get the hell out of here."
Taking Jax's bags for him, Mitch holds his hand out and Jax stares at his hand then looks up at Mitch "take it" he insists, smiling Jax locks his fingers into Mitch's as they walk to his car together.
•—•
They both walk into Mitch's room after the drive from Summer's house. Mitch locks the door and turns to Jax who's standing on the other side of his room. They take each other in for a moment and smile towards each other, feeling that they're too far apart Mitch walks over to Jax after taking off his jacket.
Jax feels his breath cut short when Mitch stands right in front of him "I really want to kiss you again" Mitch's voice is low
"Please do it" Jax fights trying to not kiss him first. Lowering his head to Jax, Mitch slowly takes Jax's lips between his. The pace picks up as both boys can't control it, Mitch's arms and hands hold Jax close and Jax's hands are doing something he's always wanted, roam Mitch's amazing body.
Running his fingers through Mitch's soft blond hair Jax feels so content "how was Bora Bora?" Mitch asks as Jax kisses his neck
"Awful I don't want to talk about it" Jax tries to kiss him but Mitch pulls his body away completely "no no no don't stop" Jax tries to pull him back
"What happened?" Mitch's interests shift
"Nothing now please come back"
"Tell me what happened first"
Rolling his eyes and sighing Jax's good mood is gone "Summer happened. She bitched throughout the whole trip and get this, on Saturday when we were going to Bora Bora she hid my phone, told me it was lost, and didn't give it back till this morning at the airport" he feels his blood starting to boil
"Summer did that?" Mitch can't believe Summer would actually do something like that
"Yes! I'm so done with her" closing his eyes and taking a deep breath "I've let her go now will you please come here so we can forget about that bitch" Jax tries to take Mitch's hand to pull him closer but Mitch doesn't move, instead he reaches in his pocket and takes out his phone. Watching him as he dials "what are you doing?" Jax asks Mitch as he brings the phone to his ear
"Calling Summer"
"No! Mitch hang up!" Jax tries to take the phone but it's too late
"Mitch where the hell is Jax?" Summer picks up
"He's right here" Mitch answers as he tries to fight off Jax who's trying to take the phone to hang it up
"Mom he's with Mitch!" Mitch hears Summer call out "why are you calling me?" She asks
"Why are you and Jax fighting?"
She laughs "Jax is being a baby because I wanted our trip to be about us, and I didn't want to spend my week talking about you, sue me!" Summer talks and Mitch looks at Jax as he's listening to Summer
Jax on the other hand stops fighting Mitch because he knows he's no match for him "what is she saying?" Jax whispers
"I'm gonna go alright? I'll see you Monday" Mitch hangs up. "You guys have to make up"
"Why?"
"Because Summer will always be Summer Jax you know that. You can't let this ruin your friendship and I won't let it"
"I don't want to talk about her anymore"
"Jax she's your best friend and you've accepted who she is, I've tried to get you away from her and you didn't want to. I don't want your friendship to end because of me, I can't live with that"
Annoyed Jax drops on Mitch's bed "fine I'll talk to her"
"Good" Mitch sits next to him
Jax smiles at how close Mitch is sitting to him "tomorrow's the day before school she's probably going to spend it at the mall, I'll meet her there"
"I'll come with you" Mitch looks at Jax.
Smiling Jax slides his hand into Mitch's intertwining their fingers "you will?" Mitch nods yes and Jax pulls his head closer with his free hand closing his eyes and kissing Mitch.
Their kiss grows as Jax moves closer and closer practically sitting on Mitch's lap as they never break their kiss. "I should probably take you home" Mitch fights the words out knowing that's not what he wants, but it's what is right "your parents probably miss you"
"Yeah you're probably right" Jax reluctantly pulls away
"Come on I'll drive you" Mitch stands up and Jax follows.
They held hands the whole ride there and now they're standing in front of Jax's house arms around each other's bodies "I'm not going to sleep tonight" Jax says
"Why not?"
"Because I'm pretty sure when I wake up tomorrow tonight would've been a dream"
Kissing him "that felt pretty real to me" they both laugh. "I'll pick you up tomorrow ok?"
They let go "I love you" Jax says
Mitch smiles "I know, you told me already"
"Good because I'll keep saying it until you get tired of hearing it"
"I don't think I ever will" they kiss on last time "and I love you too"
"Say that again" Jax closes his eyes as he waits for the words he thought he'd never hear
"I love you" Mitch whispers in his ear then kisses him on the cheek "now go inside"
Jax smiles "ok" taking his bags he walks in and Mitch waits till he's fully inside and walks back to his car.
Jax stands behind his door with the biggest grin on his face practically floating off the ground.
Mitch climbs into his car feeling as though he is the happiest he's ever been.
