Thiago and Davi are happily playing when Neymar drops bye.
"You called?" He asks with a small smirk
"Thiago is playing with his friend and I'm bored," Lionel pouts
"So I'm some form of entertainment?"
"No.. I missed you," Lionel says innocently
"Sure you did.. Who's Thiago with anyway?" Neymar asks
"A friend from school. His mom is gonna come pick him up soon anyway," Lionel says
"Oh.. I was actually ordering a pizza when you called me.. I'm gonna go pick it up. I'll be back. Don't miss me too much baby," Neymar winks at him
Lionel rolls his eyes and smiles. He closes his when he's forced to open them up again because of a loud knock on the door.
"Leo! Sorry.. I know you said you'd drop him off but my mother wants me to drop him off early," Carolina says looking extremely stressed
"Are you gonna go somewhere? I can-"
"You've done enough, Leo.. Thank you."
Lionel doesn't try to fight her. She takes her son, much to Thiago's and Davi's displeasure.
"Is Davi's mom okay daddy?" Thiago asks
"Yeah.. She's just tired."
"Leo! Help!"
Lionel rushes to the door to find a very busy Neymar.
"Pizza!!" Thiago exclaims happily
Both Neymar and Lionel smile. Thiago sure does love pizza.
"I wish Davi could've stayed," Thiago says
"D-Davi ? "
"Yup. That's Thiago's friend. His mom just came to pick him up. "
"Oh. So do you like him a lot Thiago?" Neymar asks looking down at him
"Yup. We play a lot of games together!"
"I'm glad."

"Where is she?" Neymar asks
"You can't be here Neymar."
"Why do you always do this? I just.. I wanna talk to her."
"I'm afraid that's not possible."
"Can I see him then? Please.."
The old lady sighs before giving in and nodding her head. Neymar mouths his a thank you.
"Daddy!!"
"Baby"
Neymar holds his son tightly in his arms. He feels like he can finally breathe.
"Did you miss me?" He asks
"Yup. Daddy.. Why did you leave?"
Neymar swallows thickly. He looks at his song and gives him a sad smile.
"I had to baby. But don't worry. I'll always be here okay? You'll never lose me."
The young boy smiles and hugs him again. Neymar breathes in his Scent. He's so happy. He feels his heart beating out of his chest.
"Dad.. I made a new friend,"
"Oh really?"
"Yup. Well.. I made a lot of new friends this year.. " he says softly
"Are you tired? You can sleep.. Tell me about your friends another time, okay?"
"Okay."
