"Javier," Javier introduced himself simply. He was a cool guy, Samuel had looked up to him a lot when he was younger. The guy was pretty tall, him to with tan skin and dark hair, good looking with athletic build. He did swimming, properly, that's is what Samuel had been the most impressed by when he was younger that he was on a team and got sponsorships and all that. A proper athlete, which obviously Samuel's goal at like fifteen or fourteen or whenever it was him and María had gotten together, "It's nice to meet you,"
Javier made sure to shake Roman's hand properly, then moved on to give Samuel a quick hug and smile and they told each other it was nice to see one other again. Javier's English wasn't as good as his wife's but close to, communication would not be an issue.
Then there was only one person left to say hello to, María and Javier's son. He would be around eleven at this point, Samuel had played with him when he was sixteen and then he had been around two. He was obviously a lot bigger now. Still a little short though, and a little pudgy, not enough so he wouldn't grow into it the moment he started growing a little, but it gave him a round and sweet looking face, and he had the most adorable black curls.
"Miguel, this is my cousin, Samuel," María told him, and pushed him forward a little because he had been standing behind his father, throwing very curious glances Samuel and Roman's way.
"Hello Miguel, I've met you once when you were really little, do you remember that?" Samuel asked in Spanish to make things easy for the kid, other than that he was planning on speaking in English so he could include his husband as much as possible.
To Samuel's surprise Miguel nodded, Samuel hadn't expected him to remember, and María came with an explanation in English, "I showed him some pictures of you and him from the last time you were here, he's been really excited to meet you, but he's a little shy, not that you're a stranger to that," María laughed a little and gave her cousin a gentle shove on the arm. Samuel blushed almost as if to prove her point and Miguel who seemed to have grasped at least some of what his mother had said seemed to be doing the same thing as Samuel.
"He's been very excited about speaking English too," María continued and she turned to her son and ruffled his hair, "Don't you want to show how good you are at English, Miguel?"
Miguel shrugged. Samuel smiled at him, he got it, suddenly he was getting a lot of attention, and it wasn't easy to just talk to a bunch of adults in a language he wasn't sure of, so Samuel decided to help him find a natural reason to talk, "Well Miguel, you see this tall guy here?" Samuel patted Roman's arm, and Miguel looked at Roman curiously as he finally got to know who this strange man was, "He's my husband, and he doesn't speak Spanish so maybe you could introduce yourself in English?"
"Husband?" Miguel asked, Samuel, let his eyes flicker up to María for a second, and then Roman, nervously. Samuel looked back at the kid, smile still on his face, "yeah husband,"
"Okay," Miguel said simply and Samuel got a little relieved, he was just a kid so had his reaction not been a good one he could always learn, but it still would have hurt, Samuel was glad it didn't seem to spark anything other than curiosity though, and now Miguel seemed to have gotten enough pushes to want to communicate with the tall stranger, he looked over at Roman carefully, "I—I'm Miguel, What is your name?"
He was obviously sporting an accent, thicker than his parents, but this kid was honestly adorable in Samuel's opinion, there was no better word to describe him.
