kaimaciel:

Afonso slowly woke up by the sounds of something banging against his window. At first, his sleepy mind deduced it was a tree branch but the sounds continued and it clearly wasn’t a tree.

He stared at the window and saw a little hand banging the glass and two shiny eyes glancing inside his bedroom.

“Luciano!” he got up from the bed and opened the window, pulling the young boy inside. Luciano’s clothes were torn on several places, mixed with dirt and green stains, and he was missing his shoes. “Where the hell have you been? I’ve been looking for you for 3 days! Why weren’t at home?”

The boy was silent and glared at Afonso.

“What?”

“You left! You keep leaving and then I’m alone!”

There were tears on Luciano’s face as he hugged Afonso’s chest for dear life.

Afonso’s sighed and hugged him back, brushing his soft curls. He had already explained why he needed to leave, there was nothing new he could say.

“Luciano, did something happen while I was gone?”

But the boy didn’t answer, he had fallen asleep, his hands still grabbing Afonso’s shirt tightly.

Afonso decided he’d ask in the morning.
