In which Mitch dreams of Princeton, works at his literal evil stepmother's diner, and has a secret online admirer who can't stop asking him to meet IRL. (Or, the Cinderella Story AU.)

“We could do that,” Auston said. “What, get married? You and me.” “Well, yeah.” Mitch snorted. Auston didn’t say anything. “You’re serious?” Mitch asked.

If Mitch was a Leaf fan, if he was trying to sit back and justify this trade he’d say the Leafs weren’t trading him for Matt Grzelcyk, he’d say they were trading him for Nylander and Grzelcyk. In which case, The Leafs win that trade.

But Mitch isn’t a Leafs fan. He’s not even a Leaf anymore and his flight to Boston leaves in 2 hours.

or

Mitch is traded to Boston and pretends everything is okay.

“You don’t have to actually do it. You just gotta tell him you’re getting laid, bring it up or something.” Auston looks back up at him and Mitch feels his face burn.

“No it’s not that, I’ve just never— y’know.“

They get matching bracelets to celebrate the start of the season, the most expensive ones the store has, because they’re ballers. It’s not, like, actually friendship bracelets, technically, but not super far off, either.

Matty looks real skeptical about it. She’s good at pretending to be skeptical about most of Mitch’s ideas, even though this one was hers, mostly. Matts is kind of a sap, when no one else is watching, is what Mitch has learned these last couple years.

It doesn't come out of nowhere, despite what Dylan probably thinks. And, okay, Mitch knows that the super adult thing to do would have been to just talk about it, sit down on the sofa and bring it up and give his reasons and whatever, but he's forever and always himself, so that's not how it goes. Mitch waits until Dylan starts eating his gross yogurt, and just when Dylan puts his fourth scoop into his mouth, Mitch says, "I think we should have sex." Dylan chokes on his mouthful of yogurt, walking the two steps to the sink so he can spit it out and continue coughing, and Mitch opens up his own jar of yogurt and digs in. Perfect. (or: Mitch is ace. That doesn't mean he isn't curious.)

“Mother of the bride cried and showed me baby pictures,” Mitch says. “Naked baby pictures.” Auston’s screwing the lens cap back on his camera, but he shoots Mitch a wry smile. “Drunk groomsman puked on my shoes. I win.” Mitch makes a face, but he passes Auston a crumpled five dollar bill
