Avi pulled up the driveway, looking at the all to familiar house in front of him. He turned his car off, sighing heavily as he opened the car door.

He saw one of the servants rush out of the front door. Kevin, who was his age and his best friend.

"Mr. Kaplan, you're back! Your parents have been worried sick," Kevin exclaims, immediately helping Avi with the luggage.

Avi sighs again, grabbing some of the bags and refusing to let Kevin take them. "Kevin, I've told you plenty of times to call me Avi."

"Yes sir, sorry," he apologizes. Avi stops, looking at Kevin.

"You don't have to call me sir, either, dear."

Kevin smiles and rushes ahead of Avi, opening the door even though his hands were full.

"Avi."

Avi seemed to relax at the sound of his mothers voice. "Momma," he smiles. He sits his bags down, running to his mother and hugging her.

"Oh, baby, we were worried sick about you," she says, hugging her son close to her.

Mr. Kaplan grabs his son into a hug as well. "Tell us about your stay over dinner."

----

Avi told his parents everything he and Tim had done together-- minus their love making. He told them about his new friends and all the things he learned how to do.

He told them that he loved it there.

"I hated to leave him and come back.. But I think I was starting to miss you guys, maybe getting a little homesick," Avi smiles.

His parents share a look and smile at how in love their son seemed with the man, and the whole place in general.

"Why'd you come back?" Shelly asks him.

Avi looks up at his parents. "This is my home.." he whispers.

Michael takes a bite of his dinner. "Home is where your heart is."

----

Avi was having trouble falling asleep. All he could hear was the sound of cars and horns an yelling. He didn't have Tim next to him, and everything just seemed so wrong.

He stood up out of his bed, picking up one of the small objects that decorated his bedside table. He throws it to the floor, letting out a small sob.

He missed Tim so much.

Kevin heard the thump, and he rushed into Avi's bedroom quickly. He pouts slightly at the sight of Avi crying on the floor.

He walks over and sit beside him, wrapping his arms around Avi in a hug.

Avi hugs him back, sighing a little.

"If you miss him so much, you should've stayed," Kevin says softly.

Avi looks up at his best friend, going over the same conversation he had with his parents earlier.

"This is my home though," he whispers.

"Home is where your heart is."
