Gastón and Matteo were at the Roller's cafetería drinking something and talking, but Matteo was feeling off so he didn't do so much talking and couldn't pay attention to whatever Gastón was saying, and Gastón could notice it so he asked Matteo.
-Hey bro, Is everything okay? I noticed you were spacing out the whole day- Gastón asked him, and Matteo could see real concern in his eyes
-Yes, I'm good, don't worry- Matteo said without looking at him while kept playing with the straw on his drink.
-Look, I asked wrong, I know you are definetly not okay, so I better ask, what is wrong? Is everything okay with Luna?- He asked putting a hand on Matteo's shoulder
-Yes, she is great, everything is great with her- And he meant it, she being in his life was one of the few things that were good at that moment
-So what is it? And don't try to lie to me, I know you better than you think- He paused and asked fearful –Is because your parents?- When Gastón said that Matteo couldn't control let a sigh out loudly and Gastón knew what was the matter –So the parents it is. What did they do now?- He said crossing his arms and resting his back on the chair looking very upset, he was the one that deal with Matteo's sorrow everytime his parents let him down, and Matteo loves him for that, Gastón was always concern about him.
-Nothing that they haven't done before- Matteo said a little sad and then lifedt his head to look at him –You know, they just told me this morning that they are gonna be busy on christmas eve, that they won't be in the city and that I can't go with them. And its just stupid that I am upset because its not even the first time they do it.- He said with a desesperate tone on his voice, christmas eve will be in 3 days and the illusion of spending it with his parents has dissapeared
-Its not stupid, I would be very upset if that happen to me, you are human Matteo, you can feel bad when people dissapoint you- He said leaning closer to Matteo and talking in a calm voice –But you are not alone neither, you have me, you are like my brother, and you have Luna, I know her parents love you, well, her mother loves you and her father tolerates you – He said joking and that made Matteo let a little giggle out –Hey, a smile, good, but I am serious, you don't have to spend it alone, you have a lot of people that love you and you can count on.
Matteo knew it, he knew that he can count on Gastón everytime he need it, and with Luna, his girlfriend always found the way to put him in a good mood, but Matteo was really excited to spend christmas in family this year, and he knew that no matter with whom of his friends he spend it, it won't be a good night now and will be gloomy the whole night.
-Yes I know- Matteo said in a soft voice giving him a sad smile –but I think I'm gonna rather spending on my own, its just like any other night, so I'll go to bed early, if I am sleeping I won't have to think about it
-Hey you can't ...
-No Gastón, I really made my mind, please don't insist- Matteo said interrumping Gastón, the front door of the Roller opened letting enter a little cute brunette with the biggest and brightes smile on her face, and Matteo smiled, then leaned close to Gastón and whispered –And please, don't tell Luna about it or i'll unfriend you – Gastón opened his eyes wide and looked at Matteo, Gastón knew he was joking about the unfriend, but he also could see that Matteo didn't want to worry Luna
-Hey you good looking guy- Luna said aproaching to Matteo giving him a little kiss on the lips, Matteo face changed in a drastic way and was all smiley know. Then she said hi to Gastón too and they talked about one hour, and Matteo was more enthusiastic know, but Gastón could notice that he wasn't the same.
-I'm going to my house now pretty, I promised to my parents that I would be home early today- Matteo said looking at Luna
-Okay, see you tomorrow here?- She asked smiling big
