Aeron walked into the coffee shop as if he owned the place. He ordered a coffee, making it complicated, testing the place out. He had been drinking coffee since he was under 10, and he liked to think of himself as something of coffee expert by now. Aren't u short enough yet? Mom says come back home, we're still unpacking. Came a text from HeuSeoh. Coffee doesnt make u short. Aeron texted back, deciding to sit on a comfortable looking chair in a corner. Besides, I don't want 2help.He was called up to get his coffee before feeling his phone vibrate again. Mom'll be pissed. But w/e. Be home before dark. HeuSeoh had replied, and Aeron could almost hear his sigh from the coffee shop. He fixed up his coffee and then returned to his seat. Eh, it's alright... He thought to himself.

Moving away from MABtown to Riverside wasn't much of a difference to Loreto. He had grown used to moving somewhere when not even a month had passed and he was sent to some other town far away to live with another family. Although, this was different. He had moved to another town but Toni just insisted on keeping him as part of the family. This warmed Loreto's heart even more. Since most of the reasons for the other family's leaving him was because of him being gay, and not knowing how to raise him or even handle the situation that he was in fact, gay. Apparently none of the Italians from his hometown in Italy ever understood his decision. Whatever... he thought to himself, I'll just have to endure it.
Walking around the new town, he spotted this coffee shop that immediately reminded him of his one and only friend he had met a while back. "Egli ha detto che gli piaceva il caffè. (He did say he liked coffee)." he muttered in his own language, ignoring the fact the the girls walking past him had heard his wonderful sweet accent already falling for his looks, not even aware that he was in fact, gay. He passed by the heart-fallen girls and into the coffee shop, walking up to the counter ordering a simple Cappuccino, before going off with his drink to find a place to sit. That's when he saw him. The blonde hair dipping into his gorgeous blue eyes as he took a sip of his own coffee. It was him! With that though, Loreto walked up to the familiar-looking boy with a sweet and flirtatious smile on, fighting the urge to greet in his usual Italian language. "Hey, you." he flirtatiously started out, "thought I'd run into you here." his accent slipping out, chuckling lightly as he took a small sip of his Cappuccino.

Aeron looked up from his coffee and rolled his eyes, "Oh god, not you..." He muttered as he rolled his eyes, though his actions betrayed his words as he patted the seat next to him. "I said we'd have coffee together, right? Sit." He told the slightly younger boy.

Ignoring the fact that Aeron was seeming agitated with Loreto's sudden appearance, he sat down beside him anyway, keeping the smile on his face like a lost little puppy finally finding its owner after a year. "Yeah, but I thought we'd have coffee sooner. It's been what, a month since we last seen each other?" he mentioned, taking another sip. "I missed you."

"Well, y'know, a hurricane kinda passed through." Aeron replied sarcastically. "And our family stayed a little while after, we uh... we lost a family member." He added, not seeming that distressed over it. He took a sip of his coffee, "So we just moved here the other day."

Loreto chuckled lightly. "Oh yeah that's right. Not long after I came to the US either." he frowned suddenly hearing about their loss. "Yeah, I heard our family had a couple losses too. I never really knew them, cause I was still new, but it still pretty sad knowing that most of my siblings were really close to them." he explained sipping on his coffee every once in a while. "I'm just glad we finally moved to a better and more cleaner town. MABtown kinda seemed gross to me. Even just living there for a week."

Aeron nodded absent-mindedly. "I hear a lot of families lost someone." He muttered unintelligibly, taking small sips of his coffee. Proving he wasn't paying attention 100%, he thought aloud, "I sure hope another coffee shop opens up, I like variety. Maybe I'll even get a job at one..." He shook his head, "Nah, I want to travel, being in a coffee shop won't let me do that." He finally processed what Loreto said, "You thought MABTown was gross?" He shrugged, "It was just another city to me..."

Loreto nodded in agreement, sipping at his coffee as Aeron did. Unlike Aeron, Loreto actually paid attention to what he was saying. "Traveling would be fun. I do miss my hometown." he replied, shaking his head lightly at his next response to his last comment made. "It's just that it didn't seem very clean to me, like this city does. And like you said, it was just another city to me, especially one that I didn't stay long in again." he took a sip of his drink. "I just hope this family decides to keep me longer than a month. Though, like I said before, I do miss my hometown back in Italy."

"Oh, I take it your were passed from family to family too?" Aeron asked, glancing at Loreto. "When I was younger, I kept going from foster home to foster home. Though I didn't start out in Wales. I started in LA, and then I was found by Auntie, and she kept me. All it takes it that one person that can accept for who you are and will support you no matter what." He told Loreto. At the realization of what he said, he blushed and put the coffee to his lips, stuttering a little, but not saying much in the way of intelligible words.

Loreto nodded, listening to part of Aeron's story. "Well, I was born in Italy. But no one really knows what happened to my parents, er, mother at least. All I know is that I was transferred from family to family all through Italy. I guess none of the family's or even school's there didn't really know how to look at, or really understand me. Being homosexual that is." he explained his part of his story, trying to shake out all the negativeness going on his head right now, by going back to his coffee, staring in the cup for a few seconds before taking an actual drink of it.

"Yeah, I used to get teased at school..." His voice faded off, shaking away memories he was hoping to leave behind with the move. "It's hard when you don't have someone to be there for you..."

"It is..." Loreto nodded in agreement, still trying to get rid of the memories himself. "I'm just glad I met Toni. It's like he understands me. Well, understands me more so than anyone else ever did. He really is a great father to have. I just hope he'll keep me in the family for as long as I need him. Which will be quite a while." he explained, not realizing that he was babbling, though he couldn't really help it. He wanted to stop and forget about it all, but at the same time, how could he? How could people be so against homosexual's? They're regular people too, just with different tastes romantic wise.

Aeron nodded, sipping his coffee and remaining quiet. After a few moments of silence, he sighed, "Well, anyway. Enough of that depressing crap." He muttered, though not knowing where to go with the conversation next.

Loreto laughed at his sudden change of voice. "Well..." he started, trying to keep some sort of conversation going. "How've you been? I mean, besides the hurricane disaster bit." he bit his lip, not exactly knowing what else to talk about. Although he guessed he could of said something else besides bringing up the hurricane again.

"It's... life..." Aeron replied before taking another swig of his coffee. "Nothing real exciting. I guess. What about you, what've you been up to?"
