Alejandro stared at the man in shock. He blinked, examining him. "Mattia?" He finally asked, feeling his eyes began to brim with tears. The Italian nodded subtly, not saying anything. Before Alejandro could say another word he was pulled into a tight hug. Soft sobs came from the italian. Alejandro wrapped his arms around Mattia, crying into his shoulder. The costa rican was so confused, but he didn't care. His lover was here. His soulmate was alive.

Elijah began to tug on Mattia's shirt. The italian chuckled softly. He let go of Alejandro and picked up the small boy, hugging him tightly. The trio began to receive stares. "Okay, Elijah. Pick out your toys and we'll go home. I can find something to make there, okay?" Mattia set the boy down and Elijah took off into the store, yet again. The two men walked back up to the front of the store. They remained silent, excluding Alejandro's subtle cries.

A few minutes later Elijah came back with a basket full of toys. Alejandro was about to reject the toys when Mattia stepped in. "I'll pay. It's alright." Mattia nodded to the costa rican and walked Elijah over to the counter. Alejandro watched in awe. Mattia paid for the toys and they were put into a plastic sack. Elijah took the sack and ran out of the store, laughing with a huge smile on his face.

The pair walked into the parking lot, Elijah not far ahead. "I'll take my car to the house.. alright?" Alejandro looked around hesitantly and nodded. Mattia smiled warmly and kissed the costa rican. "We can talk more when we get home." The italian said as he got in his car. Alejandro watched him, and looked out into the parking lot, He spotted Elijah sitting down by the tire of the car. He chuckled and jogged towards him. "Come on, buddy. We gotta go!"

The car ride didn't take long, considering Alejandro was excited and in a rush. He parked the car out side of the house, since Mattia's tesla was in the driveway. He pulled Elijah out of his seat and grabbed his sack of toys. He set the small boy down and handed him the sack, watching him take off for the porch of the house. Alejandro shut the door and slowly followed along. As soon as the costa rican was on the porch Mattia opened the door, letting the pair inside.
