Kairi has just packed his bag.
Yes.
Bag.
He didn't have much.
He was getting ready to leave yet another dreadful orphanage.
He wishes that he was excited about leaving but entirely he was not.
He's been adopted before.
But one way or another he would always end up back at an orphanage.
The people were either abusive or didn't care about him, they just wanted money.
He thought it would be the same every time.
So he overall felt numb about the situation.
Adoption Worker- "Kairi! Your new parent is here." They yell this out.
Kairi rolled his eyes.
He hated the adoption workers.
They didn't care about him.
Nun truly did.
He began walking down the staircase.
Once down he gets greeted by a woman.
She seemed to be middle aged.
She had a friendly smile on her face.
Her energy seemed cheerful and genuine.
He liked that.
But he didn't want to have high expectations.
???- "Hello! My names Matiluca! I am your new mother! It's very nice to meet you." She spoke this in a warm voice, it reminded him of his mother.
He loved that.
Kairi- "H-hi.. I'm Kairi- it's nice to meet you as well." He tried his best to sound friendly.
Matiluca- "Well it's time to go- come on."
And with that she walks out of the door.
Kairi follows, not looking back.
He enters a 2021 Honda Pilot.
Kairi- "Woah." Was all that came out of his mouth.
The car looked nice.
The interior was a tan cream color.
It smelt of vanilla and baked goods.
A mom smell.
She had pictures of kids and other family attached to a keychain hanging up on the rear view mirror.
Which he assumed were her kids and family.
Two kids to be exact.
A tall looking boy and a younger, smaller looking one.
His new "mother" starts the car.
Matiluca- "Put on your seatbelt." She says softly.
Kairi just nods and buckles it up.
After a few moments of silence Matiluca finally spoke up.
Matiluca- "Kairi I know you don't really trust me. The worker told me part of your past. I promise you nothing like that will happen here."
Kairi stayed silent, continuing to look out of the passenger side window.
Matiluca- "I hope you can learn to trust me and see me as your mother. But I know that I'll never replace your biological one, I just hope you'll like it here."
Kairi just nods.
He didn't want to say anything.
He's heard this before and before.
It overall didn't have much of an effect on him anymore.
He hadn't been shown real love since his mother died.
Why start trusting in it now?
The last time that happened he lost his sister.
So- why now.
Matiluca could see the hurt in his eyes.
She knew that he was broken inside.
His heart was shattered.
The love in there had dissolved into nothingness.
But she was going to fix him.
Soon they pulled into a large yard with a nice sized family home on it.
Matiluca gets out of the car and began walking to the front door.
Till she sees Kairi didn't get out of the car
Kairi didn't want to move.
He couldn't.
He was frozen, staring into space.
He didn't want to feel hurt again.
He just wanted to run away and never come back.
He didn't want to feel the world poison him again with feelings of pain and agony.
Matiluca turns around and walks to the passenger door.
She opened it and got down to Kairi's height.
Looking into Kairi's eyes.
Kairi didn't look at her though.
Matiluca- "Please. Please get out of the car. I know you don't want to be here. I'm not going to hurt you Kairi. Please come with me inside."
She spoke softly.
Kairi finally looks at her.
He didn't believe a single word.
She saw that.
Matiluca- "Please. I will not do anything to you. I won't even touch you. Just come out."
She begged this yet her warm tone never went away.
Kairi finally spoke up.
Kairi- "Okay. I'll go in.." His tone was numb.
He now was about to trust someone for the first time in years.
Matiluca got up to normal height and began walking to the door again.
Kairi got out of the car and shut the door.
He walks behind Matiluca.
She unlocks the door and walks inside.
He follows behind.
Once he got inside, his eyes immediately looked around.
He could see a few family portraits, a long stairwell, and darken furniture.
The house smelt of food.
He felt a warm feeling inside.
The house reminded him of his mother's home.
He liked it already.
But would never truly except that.
Suddenly Matiluca yelled out something in Spanish.
Matiluca- " Ven aquí mi hijo!" (Come here my son)
A faint "coming!" was heard and then a boy walked up from a seemingly basement.
Kairi couldn't believe his eyes.
A shirtless boy had just walked into the room.
He observed the boy intensely.
He had a toned body, honey brown eyes, almost messy black hair, and a really nice smile.
???- "Oh- hi mama. This must be Kairi?" He questioned.
Matiluca- "Yes. Kairi this is Mattia. Your new brother."
Suddenly a wave of dissatisfaction came across Kairi's face.
"Brother?" He thought.
He wished that it was more.
Kairi was gay.
He knew that.
But he was actually in the closet.
Coming out wasn't on his plan for a while.
Kairi was at a loss of words though.
He couldn't stop staring at his new "brother."
Mattia waves a hand across Kairi's vision.
Mattia- "Are you good?" He questions.
Kairi- "Ah- yeah.. sorry- it's nice to meet you."
Matiluca- "Donde esta tu papá?" She questioned. (Where's your dad?)
Mattia- "Papa went to the store with Gianluca a la tienda para conseguir for the new room." (to the store to get stuff)
He spoke in Spanglish.
His Spanish wasn't as good as his Italian.
He understood Spanish but he wasn't that well at speaking it.
Kairi found Mattia speaking in another language fascinating.
Kairi only knew English, a bit of Japanese his mother had taught him and a bit from the internet.
Matiluca- "Oh- okay. Kairi your room isn't finished yet but Mattia can still show you around."
Kairi- "Um.. okay.." He says this in a small voice.
He wishes he wasn't as nervous as he was.
Mattia- "Come on-.."
And with that Mattia leads this downstairs.
Once they got down there, Kairi was amazed.
The room was large.
There was a computer set up on a wall of the room.
A bed on the other side, in the middle.
He could see a door leading to a bathroom as well.
Kairi- "Wow."
This was all that escaped his mouth.
Mattia- "Yeah- this is my room." He says nervously.
Kairi- "I like it. It's huge in here."
And for once Kairi actually meant it.
Mattia chuckles.
Mattia- "Well thanks. You can go search around the house more but I pretty sure you know they lay out."
Kairi- "Uh.. yeah. I could see it all while walking in but- could you lead me to my room?"
Mattia- "Of course shorty. Also- hand me your bag, I'll carry it for you."
Kairi couldn't help but blush at that nickname.
Kairi- "O-okay.."
He hands Mattia his bag.
Mattia- "Follow me."
Kairi just nods and follows along.
