was kairi about to do this? did he even have the balls to? hell no. was he scared of losing his best friend, and his only? hell yes.
there was only two ways of handling this.
1. mattia would leave and never speak of him again.
2. kairi would say it, mattia would be happy and that's it.
"kaiiii?" mattia said in a babyish tone, "c'mon. it's just us, who am i gonna tell?" he was right. who was mattia gonna tell?
"you'll judge me, matti." kairi replies, his eyes looking down at his covered hands from the blanket, "and i cant lose you."
mattia scoffed in an accusing way, "you're joking, right? you will never lose me, no matter who you are. so tell me, tell me." whispering the last part.
'if it was nothing, he wouldnt have acted the way he did.'
"you know how...alejandro & alvaro were questioning us?" kairi asked.
the other boy nodding, rolling his eyes at the question.
"why....why did you act like that?"
"act like what?"
"i don't know..just really defensive i guess?"
mattia inhaled and thought about it. damn, all he did WAS defend kairi. if the old mattia got called a fag by hector, he would've laughed it off; now this mattia is hurting others, because of that word. mattia thought about how he looked at kairi like he saw a beautiful princess, and was angry whenever somebody would judge kairi or look at him wrong. how jealous he was when some girl hit on kairi in 8th grade.
mattia really was in love with kairi.
"i-i well, you are my best friend."
"mattia, the old you wouldn't be putting hands on false accusations."
"this isn't about me, this is about you." mattia replies, waiting for him to answer. "well?"
"do you like me?" kairi whispered. mattia blinked a few times to register his question.
he closed his eyes, he really thought it wouldn't be now. he didn't want this now, this couldn't happen now. if his family, his friends found out. he wouldn't be THE mattia polibio, THE italian stallion, anymore.
he'd just be, mattia.
fuck it.
"yes."
what the actual fuck. was the only thing crossing kairis mind, he didn't expect that.
"do you, my kai?"
"i-uh-"
"hm?"
"y-yeah. yes! yes."
mattia smirked at how nervous his best friend was, he was finally set-free. kairi was a nervous wreck, he thought it wouldn't work out but now it's working good, he's a fucking wreck.
"i honestly didn't expect-" kairis phone rang, turning over to see who it was. alejandro.
"it's ale, do i answer it?" mattia nods.
"kairi! kairi oh my god!"
"what?"
"mattia punched hector! what the fuck?"
"you're just hearing about this now, alejandro?" kairi rolling his eyes.
"i'm saying this because i'm happy he finally did it, kairi. he did it for you! for you two! be happy now, i'm sorry kairi. i was-was a fucking asshole, i shouldn't have invaded into your privacy, same with alvaro. i know you know that, please. forgive us, nonetheless me!"
kairi and mattia both shoot eachother a look, smiling and giggling, "come now, bring alvaro."
they heard cheering from the phone, when it hung up, kairi was laughing at his friend.
"they are such idiots, but did you really punch hector for me though?"
"fuck yes i did! i care a lot about you, dumb ass. i wouldn't let him just talk that talk if he can't walk that walk." mattia replies in a sly voice.
kairi laughs, "okay, okay!" he put his hands up in defense,
"you're so cute when you get all like that, it's so nice to finally say it." mattia sighs in happiness, putting his hands on his face to save himself from his red cheeks.
"it's nice to hear it." kairi smiles.
they both heard a knock on the door, both groaning as they both forgot it was midnight, and they both shared a laugh.
