Weeks went by very slowly, or at least that was what they felt like for Manuel. Lessons had started with a full rhythm, everything was back to normal but him and Simone, and Lorenzo.

They had grown closer in the span of a few days, Simone would go to him during break and keep him company, or sometimes when the final bell rang he'd go out with him, or during tests, he wouldn't ask Manuel to copy from the internet anymore cause he'd study with Lorenzo. Lorenzo had the whole world evolving around him and Manuel just wanted to watch him disappear. He didn't like the guy at all, and he wished Simone could see it too, but his pure heart would never.

"Okay class, find a partner and we're gonna do a little trust test, we're gonna need it for todays lesson!" Dante announced as soon as he entered class. Manuel immediately turned to Simone but he was already sitting first row with Lorenzo. Anger took over him, he violently pushed his chair back and grabbed his backpack. Everyone's eyes were on him but he didn't care, he didn't wanna do this anymore.
He crossed the room and stopped right before opening the door. He gave a quick angered look to Simone and left.
"Manuel!" He heard Dante calling him but he kept walking.
"Manuel wait just a minute!" Again, so he stopped. He figured out in that moment they were outside.
"I have to go so be quick" he told his teacher waiting for the moment he was done so he could finally leave this damn place.
"Care to explain what happened over there?".

Dante struggled to understand kids, and moreover his own, imagine Manuel. They all seemed so reckless and fighting against the world the whole time he didn't know how to handle it. Manuel was one of those who acted by how his brain was instructing him without thinking consequences. And it reminded a bit of his younger self, that's probably why he always tried to push him to do better and better cause he knew his capabilities.

"Your son! Your son happened. He ditched me weeks ago and hasn't even been properly talking to me for weeks! It feels like I'm running after him and I'm tired, he doesn't care about me? Fine, let him care about Lorenzo" he let it out unintentionally. But he felt lighter.
"Do I smell jealousy over here?" Dante questioned.
"No! I just want my best friend back to me, but he doesn't care enough so we're done. Tell him if he asks you. We're done" he spit out and left.

Back in class Simone was speechless, he had seen him like that just a few times and it never was about him. The look he had given him before going out kept flashing in front of his eyes and he got worried he might be something stupid.
"Maybe I should go check on him" he told Lorenzo.
"I'm sure it's nothing leave him, let's focus on this instead." Simone nodded but somehow it didn't feel right. He pushed Manuel and his dramatics in the back of his brain and started working with his classmate.
Lorenzo was nice to him, he didn't give him much worries, he was also good looking and caring. They had grown closer so fast thanks to Glasgow, Simone did like him, not as much as he liked the other dumbass, but he did like him a little bit.

They didn't hear from each other for two weeks. They completely ignored each other in class, Simone had officially changed his seat next to Lorenzo and Manuel didn't wanna admit it hurt him. They barely talked, or interacted or even looked at each other. The tension could be cut with a knife, each time they'd be on front of each other they'd jump on each other and start a whole fight. Both held grudges about a lot of things. Simone, cause of everything he did to him, and Manuel cause of him completely forgetting him, after promising he'd be there no matter what.
Manuel felt empty, and he didn't wanna admit it but his mood wasn't the best either, he'd get mad at everything it was impossibile to have a calm conversation with him. He was always ready to pull a fight or break something. Till one day Lorenzo got close to him.

They were on the hall, Manuel looking outside of the window, lost in his thoughts, when he heard a voice.
"Hi, can we talk?" And he just wanted to punch his face for taking Simone away from him, for ruining everything.
"Yeah" he said and they walked outside. Manuel breathed, hoping it'd calm him down.
"So, I've noticed the tension between you guys, and it's not healthy, Simone is not calm, he's not focused" he spoke.
"And why do you care exactly?" Manuel asked.
"Cause I'm his boyfriend, of course I'll care if some random dude tries to ruin the peace"
Manuel didn't know where to get started from. Boyfriend? He didn't know, he thought they were just close, he never thought they'd be dating. So that meant they kissed and stuff? And since when? Was he so blind? Then, random dude? He was the random dude not Manuel, he came into their lives and ruined it.

"I'm sorry? Random dude? Am I the random dude in this story or you are?" He spit back.
"Listen carefully, I won't let you come in the middle, I won't let you get closer to him again. Is that clear enough for you?"
Manuel felt anger fill his veins, he wanted to kill him.
"And who the fuck are you to come to me and talk like you've got some superiority badge going on?" he got closer.
"I'm his boyfriend. I know your story, you pushed him away, well too bad he has me now, I'm his first boyfriend, he got all his firsts with me and if you think some little criminal like you will separate me from him you're wrong"
"You know what you're wrong on tho?" Manuel asked nervously laughing.
"Let's hear it"
"I was his first kiss, I kissed him you know where..?" He stopped to grab his shirt and show him the love wall.
"- right fucking there, you see that? And right behind the corner, we fucked too, cause he wants me, not you, so start dealing with it you ugly morherfucker" he tossed him apart and went back inside.
He regretted telling him about what they did, not cause he was ashamed, but because it was their thing and he hated how he exposed it to the world. To him.

He went back to his classroom and immediately felt Simone's worried eyes on him.
"Where is he?" He got asked. And no matter how angry he was, and how he was about to explode he took a second to admire him. He was so beautiful, so heaven sent, he had no words to describe him.
"Don't worry, your boyfriend is fine" he remarked the word boyfriend and sat on his place. Lorenzo came by shortly after. He saw them discussing on their way out and couldn't help but laugh on how dumb he made him look.

The same day, during dinner time he was laying on his bed. Anita was working at the museum so he was alone. He liked Simone. He had taken hours to get to that affirmation, but he definitely liked Simone. Which scared him, cause he'd never liked a boy before, but for Simone, he'd do anything for Simone. A part of him belonged to Simone. His heart beats for Simone. But he had lost him. He curled up even more and cried. He cried for all the times he had made Simone cry, he didn't deserve him so this was gonna be his punishment, watch him be happy with someone else. He deserved it.

"I know you're in here asshole! Open the door" Simone. Lorenzo must've told him. He cursed himself for always being in mess and got up. Once he reached the doorknob he was very tempted to not open it. To let him leave. But he didn't, he opened and he got shoved inside the house, Simone violently closing the door behind him while pinning Manuel against the kitchen wall.
"Who the fuck do you think you are? Who gave you the fucking rights to tell him what happened? Are you insane? You ruined everything!" He was screaming, tears brimming his eyes and his fists holding him.
"I'm sorry I didn't-." He started but he got interrupted.
"Thats your fucking problem, you don't think shit you just say it and apologize and then wait for people to forgive you. Well I'm fucking done with you. Let me be happy, I'm just trying to move on why don't you let me do that. Don't I deserve to be happy Manuel? Don't I?" He was fully crying now, desperation taking over him. He had been avoiding him for weeks and it had been working, kinda. But he was moving on, he was doing fine, trying to have his own life, but here he was.
"Simone listen, I didn't mean to say all that to him but he was getting on my nerves and-." And once again he didn't get to finish.
"Oh and god forbid someone tries to put you in your fucking place, so you just shoved us having sex on his face? For what reason? What was the fucking reason what do you want from me?" He was so loud he was sure they could be heard outside but at least he wasn't holding his t-shirt anymore.
"What is it Manuel? Tell me so we can end this once for all? What do you want from me you asked me to leave you alone and I'm doing it what do you want from me?"
"I want you!" Manuel shot back. It had taken him all his courage to say it. To scream it at him in front of his face. The other was starstruck.
"I want you! All of you! I want you to want me, not him! Simone I like you, a lot. And im sorry for messing your life like this but I can't hold it in anymore. I've spent weeks seeing you two bond in front of me, him touching you like I should be doing and i can't anymore! Im done!"
"What are you talking about?" Simone whispered clearly confused. What was even happening? Was he dreaming?
"I'm in love with you Simò, how else do I say this to you?" Manuel was just letting everything out at that point. Holding it in was destroying him.
"I thought... I thought didn't want me in your life" he said.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" he freed his hands and finally held his face. "I won't make you cry anymore I promise. I'm sorry" he left a kiss on his right cheek. Simone blushed and smiled.
"I don't even know what to say" Simone said.
"Say you want me too" another kiss on the other cheek. His nose slowly brushing up and down and getting to his neck, finally being able to smell him in after so long. He felt like he was alive again.
"I want you too" he told him finally.
Manuel looked up with the biggest smile on his face and kissed him so softly Simone thought his heart was gonna explode in his chest. But he was so happy it wouldn't have mattered anyway.
