"Where would you like to go my love?" He asked, his eyes sparkling in glory.

"I wanna feel home. I don't know where that is but... I just wanna feel home." I said drifting off into thought, almost drowning.

"Hm, I know right where."

Neymar walked over and talked to the pilot, and all I could hear was Barcelona. There wasn't much left for me in Barcelona, nothing but our memories. But I guess memories make a home. Or, maybe it was people. I mean people hold memories, and the only way I ever felt home was with him: with Neymar.

"Do you know where we're going?"

"Barcelona?"

"Yes but where in Barcelona?"

"No idea."

"A place I hold very... very close to my heart."

"I hold you very very close to my heart."

"I do too, it's gonna be a pretty long flight so, wanna watch a movie?"

"Mmm, you know what I'm in the mood for?"

"What?"

"Poetic Justice, haven't seen it in a minute."

"Neither have I, I'll go get a blanket and we can watch it."

"Alright."


He came back with the blanket and pressed play on the movie. We watched for the first 45 minutes but eventually I fell asleep in his arms. It was the first moment I had felt safe in 2 days... with him.

After an hour of sleeping the pilot shook us awake while we were still laying down under the blanket.

"Sir, we're here."

"Uhm, thanks Gino we'll just be a couple minutes."

"Gonna tell me where we are now?"

"You'll see." He said with a wink.

We both stood up and he grabbed my hand, looking at me in the eyes.

"Ready?"

"Mhm."

We walked out and I couldn't help but recognize the part of the city we were in; familiar sounds, smells, and more washed over me. But most importantly, I knew right where we were. The place I held closest to my heart too, the old house.

"Ney-" I said, my heart melting at the sight of the house.

He held me in his arms and looked me in the eyes.

"Let's go inside. I still own this place, I couldn't sell it."

I walked up the steps and into the house and still nothing was different.

"Why... why did you keep it?"

"Well, this place is where everything happened... where that week happened."

"Thank you, so much baby."

"Anything for you."

I plopped down on the couch and sighed out loud.

"I remember right in this living room... we almost kissed." I said, looking up at him with sparkling eyes.

"That moment brought all my hope back you know. It was the closest we had been in years, when we were both comfortable."

"I've always been comfortable with you... even when I thought I shouldn't have been."

"Shouldn't have been?"
