it had been 6 months since mattia had completely disappeared from the face of earth. no one had a clue to where he was, not even kairi who was his boyfriend at the time. it was so hard for kairi not knowing where his boyfriend could possibly be at.
"𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩, 𝙞 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩. 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙞 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣'𝙩 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚."
he hated not knowing if mattia was okay or not. his brain would flood late at night with the possibilities of something happening to mattia. he knew it was possible that something had happened to him, nobody disappears like that. he knew mattia would've reached out by now. he hated to over think.
"𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙞'𝙡𝙡 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙣𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙞 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙡𝙡 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙚. 𝙞'𝙢 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙖𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙞'𝙢 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪."
kairi always had his phone on his hand. he would wait day and night by his phone just incase mattia tried to contact him in any way. he missed him so much. he posted flyers on his social media, asking if anyone knew about mattia's whereabouts.
no one seemed to know.
...
"𝙣𝙤𝙬, 𝙞 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙮 𝙞'𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣'𝙩 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙛𝙛 𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙣𝙚."
"cmon kai, you can't mope around in your room everyday. it's not good for you."
robert had been there for him throughout all of this, the rest of the boys too but mainly robert. he would ask all around new jersey if anybody had seen the tall boy with kairi. he missed his friend too, he wanted him home safe just as much as kairi did.
since mattia was gone, he felt like it was his duty to keep kairi safe. he didn't want kairi doing anything that would hurt him.
robert had also spammed mattia's phone, just to hear a line dial and then go straight to voicemail. they had no clue where he was.
if they only knew he wasn't as far as they thought he was.
before kairi left with robert to get some fresh air, he sent a text to mattia's phone, even if it didn't deliver but it did. he just didn't know his texts actually delivered.
...

sent as a text message.
...
kairi and robert made their way inside a ice cream shop. they ordered and sat down by the big window, giving mattia a clear view of the both of them. they were both so blind, completely oblivious to who was right there.
"𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙯𝙮 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙢𝙨 𝙪𝙣𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚."
kairi was having a great time, forgetting about what was going on for a moment. all he would think about was mattia on a daily basis, it was nice to finally have a distraction.
"wait don't move, you have a little bit of ice cream on your face i'll get it for you." robert swiped his thumb across kairi's bottom lip, having the rest of his fingers under kairi's jawline. he got rid of the ice cream and popped his thumb into his mouth, tasting the ice cream that he had just rubbed off kairi's lip.
kairi giggled, not seeing anything wrong with it.
meanwhile, mattia was livid under the sunglasses and the black hoodie he had on. kairi might have been oblivious to it, but he knew robert was totally flirting with kairi, his boyfriend.
that should've been him in there with kairi, enjoying ice cream due to the intense summer weather. but he couldn't, that wasn't his fault though. he was forced to do this, his dad forced him to.
when mattia's dad found out about their relationship he was furious, he was a traditional Italian man. he wanted his son to have the traditional Italian family, even if it wasn't with an Italian woman, just not with kairi who was a boy. he had relocated mattia to seattle with one of their family members to keep mattia away from kairi permanently. that didn't stop mattia, he would come back once a month without his dad knowing, just so he could see kairi.
"𝙞𝙢 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪"
but now he was seeing kairi with another boy, his own friend robert. he couldn't blame kairi for moving on, it was like mattia had left him in the first place. he assumed kairi was over him but he didn't know that wasn't the case.
mattia walked away with his hands in his front pockets, going the opposite way of the ice cream shop. he went back to the motel he was staying at, instantly breaking down. he thought kairi was moving on, little by little forgetting about him.
at that moment he knew his father had gotten his way yet once again. mattia assumed kairi wasn't his anymore, stupidly deciding to set him free forever this time.
