Matt searched Alessandro's eyes for lies andfound none, "I believe you," he said softly. Alessandro smiled in response before moving towards his dresser and picking up what looked like Matt's clothes.

"Here you go, I washed them whilst you slept," Alessandro said, holding them out to Matt with a bashful expression. Matt took the clothes along with a towel that was handed to him, "Shower's right there, you can go get ready so we go find your friends".

Matt nodded, "Thanks, for everything".

"You go shower, I'll make breakfast," Alessandro replied, Matt's stomach growling.

Matt waited until he had left the room before heading to the bathroom. A sharp pain raced through his spine and he winced, limping to the bathroom and taking a shower. Once done, he dressed himself and hobbled to the kitchen where Alessandro was busy at his little stove. He giggled quietly at how cute he looked in an apron while cooking, he'd probably kill him if he said it out loud. Matt crouched down slightly, getting ready to sneak up on him when a loud scream pierced the air.

Alessandro and him twitched their necks in the direction of it, "That sounded like Tom.." Matt said aloud, Alessandro now aware of his presence.

"Tom? Is that one of your friends?" Alessandro asked, Matt sensed a bit of tightness in his voice. Alessandro didn't wait for an answer, he simply looked away and mumbled something under his breath.

"Come on, we've got to find them. I hope they're okay," Matt said worriedly, grabbing Alessandro's hand pulling towards the door.

"Okay, okay!"  he said, trying to sounds angry but smiling at Matt. He turned off his stove and grabbed his bag before intwining their fingers together and giving him a look of reassurance.
