He was happy. For a solid thirty minutes, he was happy. Scared out of his mind, yes, but unnaturally happy.

When he got off the train, Lee kissed him, told him he loves him, then kissed him again and left. So, while happy, he was happy to realize someone loves him, someone loves him. Someone loves him despite all his flaws and his secrets. Someone loves him despite all the scars and bruises in his mind. Someone loves him with no strings attached because that is who Lee is. Lee loves with his heart and without any care for what anyone else says. When Antonio turns around, no matter how long it had been or what had happened, Lee had always been there on the other side with his cheeky smile.

Antonio loves Lee. Lee loves Antonio.

But of course, happiness always means destruction.

After all, that's his and Accalia's motto.

"How are you, Antonio?" Mya asked as she watched Teddy and Issac run in front of them. Issac was trying to show Teddy how to...well, they don't know.

"I'm happy, Mya," Antonio said with a small smile, carrying his backpack. "I'm really happy. My partner, Lee, he said he loves me."

Mya smiled, her eyes twinkled and her dimples showed, "Did you say it back to him?"

"No..." Antonio said slowly, "but to be fair—"

"To be fair what?"

"He didn't give me enough time to say it," Antonio defended. "We got off the train, he kissed me, said it, then kissed me and left! I didn't even realize he said it until Tommy brought it up!"

"You're ridiculous, Antonio," Mya smiled at him. "What else has happened while at Hogwarts?"

Antonio preceded to tell her all the gossip he was told or heard about, not telling her any of the real problems, not wanting to stress her out. He ended up carrying Teddy and giving Issac a ride on his back.
