Mitch's parents agreed to let him stay the night with Scott. He was beyond excited. They had been together all day but after nearly eight months apart, he needed some boyfriend time.

After Scott had gotten the tour of the grounds, the pair made their way back up to his room and got ready for bed. The quartet had laughed at the way the two bounded up the stairs giggling. The couple made quick work of changing into their pajamas and curling up together on the bed.

After a long slow makeout session, Mitch made the first move, carefully reaching his hand down and sliding it under Scott's waistband. What happened next was unexpected though. Instead of thrusting his hips toward the contact, Scott retracted and pulled away. MItch look ed at him, confused as to why he would be behaving like that. His face said it all and Scott responded.

"I'm sorry baby."
"Don't be sorry just explain what's going on. I haven't gotten to touch you like this in months and I thought it was something you wanted but apparently not."
Scott sighed, "I do want you, more than you can imagine. But it's just... I don't know. I'm nervous or something. It's like after you get off a boat after a long time and your legs are wobbly. I'm just trying to get my land legs back. I need to go slow. I want this but I don't want to hurt you. I feel like I'm out of practice or something."
Mitch smiled at how shy Scott was being. He wasn't used to this side of Scott, sex was something the blonde knew if he knew nothing else. "You won't hurt me. And I need you. We can take it as slow as you want. But I need you Scottie."
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Scott Richard I love you. I am sure that I want you to make sweet passionate love to me after I haven't gotten anything in eight months. I have been waiting for you but we don't need to wait any more. You're home. Now please... please... just fuck me."
"Do we even..." Scott didn't get to finish before Mitch cut him off.
"My secret contribution to your room. Top drawer of the nightstand, your side of the bed."
"You little..."
"Just get the condom and the lube so we can do this before everyone comes upstairs."
"We have to be quiet."
"Can do." Mitch gasped as Scott yanked his pants, pressing a lubed finger against his bud. He made quick work of the prep and before either knew it they were together in every way possible.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Scott pulled out and turned over, opening the nightstand drawer and hoping to find some wet wipes so he could clean both he and Mitch up. The younger boy paid no attention to his boyfriend, too blissed out to notice anything until the cold wipe hit his stomach.

"Shush baby boy. It's okay. Just going to wipe you off then we can cuddle until we fall asleep."
"Scottie," Mitch pleaded, turning himself and snuggling against the blonde's chest.
"I'm here Mitchy. Right here." He could feel the tears as they made their way down Mitch's cheeks. "Why are you crying sweetheart?"
"Missed you so, so much. So happy. You're really here, aren't you?"
"I'm really here. I'm right here. With you." Scott couldn't hold back his own tears this time. "Damn I missed you so fucking much Mitch. Do you know how many times I laid in that stupid cell and thought about this moment right here? You finally back in my arms? Every single night, I laid there and stared at your cards, reread your letters, and just prayed that time would move fast. I hated being away from you. It was hell Mitchy. Pure hell without you. I know you wrote and came to see me as often as I could but I just missed you and I needed you. I hated it so much."
"I hated it too. I wanted you back home, back at school, back with me. It was hell for me too Scottie. I'm so dependent on you for so much. Without you it was like I was missing an arm or something."
"Like you were missing your heart?"
"Exactly like that. I was so empty."
"Well, I was missing mine too. Because you own it completely."
"You have mine too. I love you so much Scott."
"I love you so much too Mitch. So fucking much."

Scott leaned down to kiss Mitch sweetly before settling the boy back in his arms. The two fell asleep quickly after their talk, a tangled mess of limbs and blankets. Neither had slept that peacefully in months.
