Matthew stood infornt of Lovinos place, flowers in his left hand and some wine in the right. He was smiling, hoping for some nice evening with his lover after not seeing him for a week. His happy smile faded when he saw the others upset face. He didn't waited and just got in, closing the door. He wouldn't ask what's wrong outside. He but the wine and flowers on the table and turned to look at the other one. "... Lovi.." he said as he pulled him into a hug. "... What's bugging you again... Hm?" he asked. He knew that caressing the others hair wouldn't help and sighed waiting for the other one to talk. "The same thing as always." he said. "... They did it again... Why can't they just stop?!" he asked and didn't hug back, just broke out in tears. Matthew looked behind him and slowly led the other one to the couch, just made him sit down on his lap and rubbed his back quietly.
"Lovi don't listen to them... You're yourself! Even if they compare you to your grandfather... Just tell that you're not him... You're not a dissapointment to him... I bet he'd be proud of you and your brother.... Both of you got strong and both are simply diffrent, living your own live.... And you have me... Even if you're moody... Even if you're not like him, that doesn't matter..... You have me and that's for sure... " he stated with a quiet voice. The Italian wiped his tears away and nodded. "... I'm aware of that Matthew... I know that.... I hear that from the others too... But... It's still the same as always... I appreciate you cheering me up, you know that....but it doesn't help me at all!" he said and looked at him. Matthew looked away, feeling a little guilty. "... Then... Then cry until its better... Or do anything you want to... I didn't mean to be a bother." he said and looked away, just letting the other one go, he knew it was one of those days where all he was able to do was to listen and keep quiet until it was better. He hated those day but at the end of the day they would end up cuddling and falling asleep together. Just the same as always.
