picking up from last part.....
Mattia called Kairi yet again. This was the eighth time Mattia had called him since the short kid had walked out and Kairi wasn't answering.
M: hey Kai, I know your mad at me but can you please call me back, I really don't want to lose you like this. Please, just call me back.
Mattia hung up after leaving yet another voicemail, throwing his phone down on his bed. He ran his hands through his hair, groaning as he realized he was about to lose the best thing in his life.
M: fuck this.
He picked up his phone again, pressing Kairi's contact. It rang a few times before going straight to voicemail again.
M: look Kai, I'm telling my parents today, ok? I really can't lose you, so I'll tell my parents about us, ok?
Mattia hung up, and quickly stood up, running up the stairs before he lost his nerve.
M: mom?
Mm: yes?
Mattia leaned his elbows on the counter, trying to maintain his confidence.
M: what do you think about gay people?
Mm: huh?
M: gay people, like what are your views on lgbtq+?
An understanding look passed over Mattia's mom's face before she spoke.
M: Mattia, I think that we all deserve to be loved for who we are. It doesn't matter who we love.
Mattia nodded absentmindedly, building his speech in his head.
Md: what are you two talking about?
Mm: Mattia wanted to know my opinion on the lgbtq community.
Md: oh?
Mm: I think he'd like to hear your opinion as well.
Mattia's mom gave Mattia's dad a very pointed look, gesturing to their son. Mattia's father looked confused before he realized what was going on, leaning on the counter beside Mattia.
Md: well, I've never understood the appeal but-OW!
Mattia's mom glared at her husband after hitting him with her dish towel.
Md: BUT, I think that it doesn't matter who you love, as long as you're happy.
Mattia listened, not making eye contact with either of his parents. He was still building a speech in his head, envisioning everything he wanted to say, he opened his mouth to talk but none of what he planned came out.
M:imdatingkairiandwevebeendatingforalmostayearandireallylikehimbutiwasscaredofwhatyouwouldthinkofme.
Mattia snapped his mouth shut, his face turning red after his confession.
Mm: Mattia, we have no idea what you just said. Go slower, just breathe.
Mattia took a deep breath, staring at a small drop of water on the counter instead of making eye contact with his parents.
M: I'm dating Kairi.
The room was silent for a few seconds, making Mattia look up to his parents faces. They patiently waited for him to continue.
M: I'm dating Kairi, we've been dating for almost a year, but I didn't tell you guys because I was scared of how you'd react.
Mm: that's it?
M: uh, yeah?
Md: Mattia, the way you were acting, I thought you were gonna say that you did something bad, or something like that. But all you wanted to tell us is that you're dating Kairi?
M: yeah I guess so.
Mm: honey, we already knew that. He's here practically every other day and he's the only person who you ever lock your door for.
Mattia blushed a dark red before standing up.
M: so you're not mad, and you're not gonna kick me out?
Md: no of course not. It is strange for us because we were raised with a different mindset but we still love you Mattia.
M: ok.
Mattia was still rather shocked but he left the kitchen, waking back down to his room.
He pressed Kairi's contact again, praying that the short boy would pick up. He didn't, so Mattia left another message.
M: hey Kai, I told my parents about us and uh, you were right, they didn't mind. I-I'm sorry Kairi I really really am. But I told them so we don't have to hide around them anymore. Anyways, I love you, please call me back.
