"Elio and I always talked about travelling. I'd love to go out into the world into some of the beautiful cities. But the thing is, as I'm sure you're aware, travelling alone is boring, no fun at all."
"I agree" Perlman nods.
"However, if I could take the most beautiful thing into the most beautiful cities it would be much appreciated, my travels being much better."
"You certainly can, but we want pictures!" Annella says, Perlman nods.
"So uh, if you don't mind I'll just take that and leave" Oliver grabs a book.
"Hey!" Elio softly punches his arm. Oliver laughs and hugs him. Annella is crying tears of laughter, excitement and happiness for her son. Perlman is laughing at Oliver's joke, Elio's reaction and Annella's poor emotion handling skills.
Oliver smiles at Elio. "You know you're the most beautiful thing in the world to me" he smirks.
"To you maybe. I'd have to disagree, I'm looking at a much more beautiful thing right now." He holds back his laughter, his plan is working. "I mean, just look at it!" He smiles, pointing at the painting on the wall behind Oliver.
"Very funny!" Oliver rolls his eyes and smiles.
"Alright you clowns, where do you plan to go first?"
"Paris?" Oliver looks at Elio and back at Perlman. Elio nods and Perlman smiles. "Have fun!"
"When do we need to be ba-" Elio replies before he's cut off.
"No no no, you come back when you're bored of each other" Annella shakes her head. We'd be gone forever! Elio and Oliver think.
"Just please come see us for Christmas."
A few hours later, they've packed and are now on the bus to the airport.
"What made you say Paris first?" Elio whispers.
"Well, I still feel terrible for what I did. I thought since Paris is the city of love we could go, get back to all the things we missed in the last 4 years."
Elio can feel himself blushing.
"I've missed you so much, and I hate that I missed you because I was an idiot and left, and didn't come back. But trust me, there hasn't been a day go by where I haven't thought of you or wished I was with you."
Elio looks around, the bus is empty except for two people in-front of them. "God you're amazing" he whispers into Oliver's ear before slowly kissing his neck. After a few seconds Oliver holds his chin and pulls Elio's face closer to his. "No, we're amazing" he says before pulling him in to yet another kiss.
