"So what is it...like just a huge party?" Alejandro asked me, and I nodded, I was sitting on our bed. Facing the wall because Alejandro was currently changing and he's been getting real pissy about me watching him especially now that he's pregnant.
"Basically." I replied, "Okay, done." He told me, I sighed as I turned around. He had a tank top on that looked sorta cropped, and his belly bump that was showing like a small pillow was under his shirt.
"Your belly's getting bigger," I said, and he nodded. "Thanks for pointing out my biggest insecurity at the moment." He said, grabbing his slippers and leaving the room.
I know he was getting mad at me for my dad telling his mom to pull him out of school. "I didn't mean that rudely Alejandro." I said, standing up and walking down the hallway to where he was.
"I miss school, so unless you can get me back. Then don't expect me to be the nicest to you. I'll show respect, but I won't be a kiss ass." He said, laying down on the couch and grabbed a pillow. hugging it.
‼️
"Dad, I-no dad, please-dad. Stop it-just-will you just listen-fucking listen dad-just shut up will you? listen-Ale-oh my god. Just be quiet. Yeah...I know, he will be there tonight. We both will. Just be quiet and listen to me-yeah...okay...whatever. Fuck off, I'm not doing this. Nothing-just-Never mind!" I yelling, hanging up my phone, sitting down on my bed, and running my hands through my hair frustratedly.
"Hey...you okay?" Alejandro asked me, walking into the bedroom, a hand on his stomach as he held onto the doorway. "Yeah, just...my dad pissing me off is all." I shrugged, he nodded. "Sorry that he's doing that." He apologized. I smiled, "It's not your fault. But thank you." I said.
I woke up from my nap, it definitely wasn't a power nap, more like a cat nap. I looked over seeing Alejandro laying down, sleeping peacefully, his back had been hurting earlier so I decided not to wake him up right now. I sighed as I heard my phone buzz.
'Dad' flashed on my screen and I rolled my eyes, we probably had to start getting ready for this party soon. I hated this thing. I didn't like getting ready for any celebrations or anything like that so I really didn't wanna go, but I didn't have a choice.
I sent a quick reply to my dad just saying we were getting ready now. I stood up, hearing Alejandro whimper quietly, "M-Mattia," He said, I turned around, wondering if he was okay or not, his eyes were closed, he must've been having a bad dream.
"Mattia, Mattia-please," He said again, I was debating whether or not to wake him up, before seeing the small bulge that was forming in his pants as he squirmed around. I backed up and went to the bathroom. I'm sure he's fine.

I changed my pants and boxers after my little dream, throwing my old clothes in the laundry basket in our closet, before walking down the hall to the bathroom. Seeing Mattia fixing his hair, "Hey." I smiled, seeing him looking at me from the mirror.
"Hey, you get enough sleep?" He asked, turning around to face me. And I shrugged. "My back feels better, so that's good, and I feel less tired. So I'm good." I rubbed my eyes with my palms, leaning on the doorway. "Uh, so, we gotta get going to the party soon." He told me, and I sighed.
"So what's the party about? Like...just for fun or what...?" I asked, "Oh, it's basically just...ugh...my dad just throws these little ballroom parties almost every year, that's about it, and it's just a celebration for me getting a new scar partner." He explained.
"So like Cinderella's ball?" I asked, a small but obvious smile on my face. "Sorta, people dress like it's a ball, fancy suit, and dresses. And the place where the party is, it's really big and beautiful, so they just act like it is." He replied with a shrug.
"That's cool, so what should I wear?" I asked, "Uh, I left you a suit on your bed." He told me, I looked down the hall at our room, seeing it laid out on our bed on a hanger. "Did you get it in a size bigger so it would fit around my stomach?" I asked him, running a hand through my hair. "Yeah, it'll fit," Mattia said.
I rolled my eyes since the suit didn't fit. I threw it back on the bed before going to the bathroom, "It doesn't fit," I told Mattia, he looked over at me with a sorry look on his face.
"I'm sure I have another suit that you can wear." He said. "What if I don't wanna wear a suit?" I asked him, "Well, no offense but jeans and a t-shirt aren't the appropriate clothes to wear at this thing." He said, grabbing his toothbrush and some toothpaste.
"I know, but I know that I have fancy clothes to wear. I'll just find something." I told him before he turned the water on, rinsing his toothbrush before I left to go to our room.
I went through all of my side of the closet, looking for something decent to wear to this thing. Mattia was wearing a suit so as his date I should wear something similar, but not some tight suit. I took out a pretty dress of mine, it was light pink with a slit on the side.
"Pretty," I said under my breath, before unzipping it from the back and taking my shorts and top off. The dress was baggy so I knew it would fit fine, even with my stomach in the way.
‼️
"How's this?" I asked, walking back down the hall where Mattia was, flossing his teeth. He looked over at me, his mouth open a bit. "Careful, you'll catch flies." I teased him, he closed his mouth. "Yeah, looks nice, I like it." He said with a small smile. "Thanks, can you zip this up please?" I asked him.
"Y-yeah, sure." He nodded, walking over as I turned around, zipping up the back of my dress. I looked down at my hands as I felt Mattia's breath on the back of my neck. "Uh-d-done." He told me. I thanked him. Giving him one last look before walking off to get my shoes on.
‼️
"Alejandro, you ready? Limo's gonna be here in...like two minutes." Mattia said as I walked down the stairs towards him. "Yeah, I'm ready. Hey, I didn't know a Limo was gonna pick us up." I said, holding my small handbag. "Yeah, dad wanted to go all out." He shrugged.
"Hey, uh, you know how to tie and tie?" He asked me, looking down at his tie that he had been playing around with. "I think I can try," I told him, taking it and trying to remember the steps of how my dad taught me at his and my mom's wedding.
I felt him looking at me as I finished, he gave me a small smirk, his hands going to each side of my stomach. "You-you look nice." Mattia told me, I smiled brightly, "Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself." I told him, dusting his suit off and tucking the tie under his jacket before he moved his hands away.
"You good?" Mattia asked me, and I nodded, fixing my seatbelt so it wasn't squishing my belly. "So, tell me more about this little party." I said, he sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Once again, not a little thing. But...my dad...he throws the party like...every time I find a new scar sign partner. So...it's pretty often." He said.
"So he invites our other family friends and other people that are the same scar sign as me. Just so they can meet my wife or husband in this case." My eyes widened a bit hearing that. A wife? He's never told me about that. "Tell me about your past relationships then. I wanna hear." I said, he rolled his eyes playfully.
"Uh...my first girlfriend, she cheated, so we broke up. We weren't even married yet, then my second, she was, she was super uh...great, but stuff just didn't work out between us." He looked over at me. "Then we got a divorce. And I had to find another person, then my third wife just hated my guts." He scratched his nose.
"And my...my dad told me to try guys...and my...my first boyfriend...was...whatever. It's nothing." He told me, shrugging it off. "So...things just didn't work out?" I asked, he nodded. "Well, then hopefully I'm like a retry. And I'll be better. Promise." I smiled, he thanked me quietly.
‼️
"Hello Alejandro, how are you and the baby?" Mattia's dad asked as we shook hands. "Fine, I'm doing pretty good, just sore." I told him, he smiled, "That's great." He gave a nod before we let go of each other's hands.
"You should go mingle. Just talk to people and try to make new friends." Mattia told me, both of us standing by the drinks table as we watched his dad walk away. "Nope, too scared," I said, he laughed to himself. "Well, you can't just stay here." He said, putting a hand on my back. "Ooh, we should dance." I smiled, pointing at the dance floor, hearing random music playing.
He smiled at me, before taking my hand and dragging me to the medium-sized group of people. Good thing I'm wearing air forces. Otherwise, dancing would be hard and uncomfortable.
‼️
"Alright, c'mon, now can you mingle?" Mattia asked, laughing as we stopped dancing after the fourth song. "I'll mingle after I use the bathroom. Baby's probably pushing on my bladder for all I know." I said, letting go of Mattia's hand.
"Thank you!" Mattia called out as I walked over to his dad, I chuckled to myself hearing that before speaking to Giacomo. "Hi, where're the bathrooms?" I asked him, putting a hand on my stomach. "Oh, they're right down the hallway, you just turn the corner." He replied, I thanked him before walking off.
I ran a hand through my hair as I pushed the bathroom door open with my elbow, looking down at my feet to make sure my dress wasn't touching the floor, thank god it wasn't.
I walked in, a boy stopping me from going any further. "Oh-I'm so sorry-I didn't-sorry, I'll just leave," I said, about to turn back around to leave, but he stopped me. "No, no it's alright, I just. I'll just wash my hands and I'll be gone." He said. I hesitated but nodded, leaning on the bathroom wall behind me as I waited, playing with the zipper on my matching handbag.
I looked back up at the boy to see him wiping at his eyes and wetting his face. "A-are you...alright?" I asked him. He turned around to look at me, apologizing. "Yeah, I'm fine." He told me with a nod. He turned his face a little towards the mirror.
I stopped what I was doing, seeing the hand mark on his cheek. I pushed myself off the wall, trying to get a closer look. "C-cause it, it looks like someone hurt you. Are you sure?" I asked again.
"Yeah, it's nothing. I just got hurt, but I'm fine." He nodded. He smiled when he saw my hand that was rested on my stomach. "Y-you're pregnant?" He asked me, leaning on the sink, and I looked down at my belly. I guess it really was noticeable.
"Oh yeah, just like twelve weeks or so." I told him, "That's cool, it's amazing...Congratulations, uh...I'm Kairi, it's nice to meet you." He said, I put my handbag in my other hand, reaching it out to him so he could shake it.
"Nice to meet you too." I smiled, rubbing my belly with the hand that held my handbag. "So...are you here for the party or is there something else?" I asked, he shrugged slightly. "The party, I came with my husband, like a plus one. Do you have a husband?" Kairi asked me. "That's cool, and yeah. His dad is hosting it." I told him.
"Have you guys been together for forever or...you just got married because you had no choice?" He asked, wiping his eyes again. "We had no choice, but it's actually working out pretty well. I like 'em, he's super nice and really funny." I giggled thinking about all the dumb jokes he was telling me while we were dancing and on the drive over to this place.
"That's nice, that you guys are at least getting along." He said, and I nodded. "Yeah, I and Mattia are okay now, so that's cool, especially since we're having a baby. Oh-shoot sorry, I didn't even introduce myself...uh, I'm Alejandro Rosario-or Polibio, either is fine." I said.
I could see his face go pale, before looking in the mirror one last time. "I-I have to go." He stuttered, drying his hands off on his jeans before quickly walking to the door and running off, looking scared and confused.
‼️
"Hey, somebody took awful long in the bathroom," Mattia teased me as I walked over to him, he was standing at a small table, drinking Vodka I think. I looked around as I stood by him, trying to see if I could see Kairi anywhere.
"What's the matter? You good?" He asked, putting a hand on my waist. "Hmm? Oh-yeah I'm great, just, I found someone in the bathroom, and they were super nice, but they just looked afraid of something. So, I'm just trying to look for him." I said.
"What was his name? Maybe I can look in the guest book." Mattia said, "Uh Kairi, that's his name, he's short, wearing jeans and a fancy dress shirt. And he has a mark on his cheek as if somebody hit him. Oh, and he came with his husband like a plus one is what he said." I replied to him.
"Yeah, alright. I'll ask my dad because if he's a plus one he's most likely not in the book." Mattia told me, looking suddenly flustered. I thanked him, leaning up and kissing his jawline.
‼️
"Congratulations again, you look absolutely stunning Alejandro." One of Mattia's dad's friends said to me, she smiled before kissing my cheek and walking off with her husband. "You like people coming up to you and saying you look good?" Mattia asked me, walking over, holding a couple of boxes. "Yeah, it's fun." I smiled, looking down at his hands asking what the boxes were for.
"Oh, there gifts. People thought that we would like some stuff for the baby." He told me, and I nodded, looking at the colorful wrapping paper on all the boxes. "We should get going. It's getting late." Mattia told me. I nodded as I pulled the strap on my dress up. "I'll go say bye to your dad," I said, he said an okay before I was over to Mr. Polibio.
"Oh, going so soon?" He asked me, I laughed, "Yeah, Mattia said we should get going since it's late. But thank you so much for having me. We had a lot of fun." I thanked him before we both leaned in and hugged. "Tell Mattia I said bye." He said as I walked away, watching my steps. "Alright, bye again!" I yelled before walked down the small stairs to the dancing room.
I looked up as I got closer to Mattia, seeing that same boy. But he looked upset by who was next to him. I leaned on my tippy toes. Seeing an older and taller boy pulling at his arm, trying to get him to go outside.
"Mattia, Mattia look it," I said, hitting his arm over and over again. "What, what is it?" He asked, "There's the boy, I told you about." I said, he gave me a confused looked. "Who? From the bathroom?" And I nodded, he turned around, looking at where I was pointing and sighing, he had a frustrated look on his face as he put the gifts down on the table beside him.
He told me to watch the presents before quickly walking over to the two of the boys. I watched from afar as they seemed to be calm. Before seeing the scared looked on Kairi's face.
mattia
Shit, shit, shit, I told him not to come.
"Oh, wait, wait, wait," I said, grabbing the older guy's arm. Stopping him from pulling the boy who Alejandro met in the bathroom. "What's your problem man?" I asked him, and he glared at me. "There's no problem, mind your business. C'mon Kai, let's go." He said, and I stopped him again.
"'Kai' doesn't have to go anywhere. C'mon bro, don't be like that with him." I said, pulling Kairi's arm and making him stand behind me. "I'll be whatever I want with him. He's my husband." He said, standing up straighter to make himself look taller. I turned to look at Kairi to see him looking up at me with wide eyes.
"Who the hell invited you? You're being disrespectful and rude. Leave man, Kairi's not coming with you." I told him, I felt Kairi let go of my arm. "It's fine. We have to get home anyway." Kairi said, grabbing onto the guy's arm. "Thank's anyway." He said, giving me one last look before turning around and walking off with his husband.
‼️
"Didn't he seem scared to you?" Alejandro asked me, leaning over and closing the limo door as he buckled his seatbelt. "Yeah, a little. But he insisted on going so I'm sure he's fine." I shrugged, leaning my head back as the backseat fell quiet, the only sounds were cars honking and the wheels going over rocks and pebbles.
I heard soft snores from next to me, I turned my head to see Alejandro sleeping with his mouth wide open. I smiled as I pulled him a bit so he would lay his head on my shoulder. I smiled when he wrapped his arm around mine and held me tightly.
‼️
"I'm exhausted," Alejandro said as he rubbed his eyes tiredly. I shut the door behind me as I threw my jacket on the bed. I saw Alejandro looking in the mirror at his stomach. I came up behind him, leaning my chin on his shoulder. "You look pretty," I said, he smiled sleepily at me. "Thank you." He said, yawning. I stood straight again, unzipping his dress slowly.
I could feel him tense up as I slipped a hand under his dress straps, I pressed my lips up against his neck, kissing softly and breathing down his skin. "I-I told you...I'm exhausted." He sighed, tilting his head back a bit. "Then just let me do the work," I said, he smiled in the mirror. "Fine," he said breathlessly. I smiled, slipping his dress down and putting both hands on his waist.
