Matt’s gaze lit up with the presence of suspicion when he realized that Alejandro was right there by his side…and had been, all day. It was unusual for the other man. Typically, he didn’t seem to want to have much to do with Matt outside of working. He looked over at him, raising an eyebrow.

“Is everything okay with you today? You seem…different.”

“uhnm…” Alejandro just hugged Matt’s arm more and hid his face against him.

Alejandro shook his head negatively, he didn’t really like it, didn’t like the way Matt was talking to him, baring his teeth and answering.

“No, I’m not.”

Alejandro was looking at Matt, he didn’t blink this time “Just tell me to go and I’ll disappear from your life.”

“Why would I want you to disappear from my life? You’re the one who acts like you want to leave and if that’s the case? Well then, so be it.”

“Stuffed animal, Alejandro? Really?” Matt asked with a small chuckle as the man handed him the small lynx cub. Such a strange act from Alejandro of all people. The man was all business and no play usually. Or…was this a trick of some kind? An attempt to make himself look bigger? That brought a humored smile to Matt’s lips.

“It’s cute, I like it,” he said, deciding to play along. He lifted the stuffed animal up and placed it’s mouth to Alejandro’s cheek. “Look, it gave you a kiss.”

Alejandro rolled his eyes, he wouldn’t get the stupid toy for Matt, he didn’t have to do it, he wasn’t obliged, why couldn’t Matt just pick up and be quiet?

“I don’t care.” Why he had to care? he didn’t have to obey Matt outside the missions “Sick of my attitudes? Really?” I’m sick of you. 

Matt rolled his own eyes. He didn’t know what the hell Alejandro’s problem was anymore. Well, actually, he had always been a bit stubborn, but...just not to this degree.

“Then why are you still here, Alejandro, huh? Why even bring me the damn stuffed animal? Why?”

Matt was slowly stepping into the tub, having made sure it was just the right temperature for both of them. Shame on Alejandro for having gotten so dirty. This was exactly why Matt didn’t trust him alone. Not anymore. Once he was in the tub, he reached his hand out for Alejandro expectantly, snapping his fingers to hurry him.

“Come on, get in. I have to clean you off, Alejandro.”

Alejandro felt as if his consciousness was fading away, as if everything was going off, his head was tilted to the side and he had his eyes rolling back, but then he felt Matt hold his arm, and that made him wake up, it was almost like a shock connecting his whole body again, Alejandro open his eyes again confused for a few moments until he came back to reality.

“…” Alejandro was looking at Matt and smiling a little, he was much more relaxed now. Just hoping that the bath was quick.

Matt kept his concerned gaze directly on Alejandro, watching his facial features as he wiped some of the dirt away. There was a tenderness in his movements...and in his grip on Alejandro’s arm, even. Now was hardly the time to get emotional, but damn...the guilt was circling in Matt’s mind like a group of hungry sharks. If Alejandro didn’t make it out of this alive? Well, then that was on Matt.

“No, I’m not getting it, It’s yours you get it.” Alejandro said as if it was the best logic in the world, just looking at Matt as a confident child who had just challenged an adult, as if he was showing Matt that he could do whatever he wanted again.

“You threw it in the trash. You should be the one to get it for me...” Matt said, his eyebrow raising. Honestly, he was seeing Alejandro’s childishness more and more as the days went on. Why hadn’t he noticed it sooner? Sometimes, he wondered why he should even trust the man. “Getting a bit sick of your attitude, Alejandro.”

“No, I’m not.”

Alejandro just stared at Matt for a few more seconds, rolling his eyes and looking back at him extremely seriously.

“No. I’m not and I’ll never be. I can just leave right now if I want and I wouldn’t even look  back.”

“Really? You wouldn’t even look back, you say?” Matt asked, a cocky grin stretching across his lips - clearly filled with the sight of even more humor than before.

“I find that pretty hard to believe Alejandro, but sure. Why don’t you prove it?”

Matt had no idea what had happened - perhaps the two were high on something or he was just seeing things - but when he looked to Alejandro, he was no longer an adult. Instead, he was younger. Much younger. A teenager, it appeared. How was this even possible? He blinked in confusion, tilting his head curiously as he stepped forward to touch young Alejandro’s face.

“A-Alejandro, something’s…wrong…” He said, cocking an eyebrow when he realized his voice was a tad less deep than normal. He now reached to touch his own face, a frown appearing on his lips. “What the hell…?”

Alejandro shook his head negatively, how could this be his fault? This was surely Matt’s fault, Matt must have irritated some Mexican witch on their last trip, that was the only reason that was in Alejandro’s mind, probably the only reason that happened.

“Uhn!” He grunted, crossing his arms visibly angry and earnestly hungry, what would they do? What? And how could Alejandro communicate now? How? He can’t !

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Did you forget how to talk or something?” Matt asked, raising an eyebrow. May have sounded as if he was giving the other sass, but that wasn’t the case. He genuinely wanted to know why his friend wasn’t responding to the situation with actual words.

Alejandro didn’t care if Matt was going to get the idiot toy or not, honestly, at that point he just wanted to do his own thing and stay away from Matt so ignore him was the best way to do that.

“Do whatever you want, it’s in the trash anyway.”

“Geez, Alejandro. You threw it in there,” Matt said with a sigh, his brow quick to raise. “You should go get it for me.” Who gave someone a gift then just threw it away like that? So childish, but Matt held that comment back. Last thing he needed was to anger him further.

Alejandro seemed to wake up from a trance the moment he felt Matt’s hand, opening his eyes with visible surprise, he looked around trying to understand where he was, and then gradually he noticed what was happening, he was in the tub.

“Ahnm? "Alejandro closed his mouth, and gradually his eyes began to close, he was so tired, he couldn’t stay awake for a long time, he just wanted to sleep, rest a little “Ahunm…ah…”

Matt nearly found himself smacking Alejandro’s cheek to keep him awake, but hastily stopped himself. That would definitely irritate the wound and given it’s current state, he couldn’t risk making it worse. Instead, he gently grabbed Alejandro’s arm and gave it a gentle tug.

“…” Alejandro was beginning to bite the corner of his thumb, he quickly stepped back a few steps not wanting Matt to touch him.

Alejandro kept looking at Matt for a while, but then he was just beginning to think, maybe if Alejandro just forgave Matt he would show that he too was an adult and didn’t need more supervision.

“I forgive you for what you did to me, and I’m going to stay here.” He just need to ignore Matt’s words.

“Oh, you forgive me? How mature of you,” Matt said with a chuckle, nearly rolling his eyes. Honestly, Alejandro had started it so why should he be the one forgiving? Oh well, didn’t matter. Matt really didn’t want him to leave and if he pushed too much, he knew Alejandro would.

“Can I have the stuffed animal back now?”

Alejandro stopped putting the clothes inside his backpack, closing his fist and rolling his eyes, right, he had to keep calm, he had to stop being so angry with Matt at the moment, it was almost impossible but he had to do it “ I’m not acting like a damn baby. “ he replied, biting his lips ” You started it… “

Matt stared at him for a few seconds, silently, his brow raising at Alejandro’s words. Not acting like a baby? Yet he clearly just said something that a child would say. He cracked a small smile, hoping it would ease the tension. “Oh come on. I started it? I said that kind of thing when I was five.”
