summer in portorosso - luca x alberto

★nove★

"what?"

alberto said as he parked the vespa near a bridge.

"i- uh nothing!"

alberto got off. he kicked the kickstand up and let go of the vespa. he rested his hands on the metal railing.

"ahhh, you feel that luca?"

i went up next to him.

"that breeze."

he said closing his eyes.

"i like it."

i responded.

"me too."

"so...? how was the vespa, everything smooth?"

i nodded.

"i guess so. you did a good job scorfano."

"hey, enough with the last name thing."

"why? does it bother you?"

"no- it just... ugh never mind."

i laughed.

"you wanna go swimming?"

i asked.

"that's not a bad idea.. come on let's go!"

alberto ran off.

"hey wait up!"

i followed him. he walked up to a water front which surprisingly had nobody in it. alberto jumped in without thinking.

"alberto your clothes!"

he got up and he was in sea monster form.

"oh, right..."

he only laughed.

i stood there looking at him. he got up and shook him self off.

"you coming?"

"yeah, uh... it's kinda cold.. and on the second thought maybe my mom-

i turned around but before i could walk away alberto grabbed my arm and pushed me in the water with him.

"ah! alberto what the heck!"

"you weren't gonna get in anyway so i had to force it!"

"that's called abuse i hope you know that."

"no, it's not."

"yes it is."

"well, what are you gonna do? hm...?"

"well, stop first of all. second of all, i'm gonna- i don't know."

"see, you don't know. wow, kinda sad. that's okay tho. i know i'm faster then you so it doesn't matter what you do."

"faster? really...? ha! sure."

"wanna see?"

"sure go ahead... let's see what you can do."

"okay."

alberto started swimming. i swam behind him. yeah he was kinda fast i'll admit. i couldn't even catch up.

"wait! alberto, slow down!"

"ha, see! i am faster than you."

alberto started swimming further into the ocean. i kept following him.

"okay that's enough! come back alberto! seriously i don't feel so good."

"haha you think that's gonna work?"

"no- i'm serious my- my stomach hurts."

i grabbed onto my stomach. for some reason i felt kinda sick. maybe it's because i haven't swam like this in forever. i stopped swimming to take a few breathes.

albeero turned around.

"c'mon luca! come get me!"

i didn't answer him. and when i didn't that's when he knew i wasn't lying.

"holy shit"

he swam up to me.

"wait- are you okay?"

"uh, yeah my stomach hurts a lot that's all."

"you need help?"

"uh..."

alberto didn't hesitate. he grabbed me and swam over to the island.

when we got here he picked me up and started walking to what seemed to be...

albertos old house.

"you remember this place luca?"

i nodded.

when we got out i started transforming back. so did alberto.

"okay uh we're gonna go inside real quick i think i have medicine. don't worry, it's not old me and masimo turned this into a fish house sorta. some stuff is new."

alberto said getting in the house that now had a door.

he put me down on a chair.

"be right back."

he said as he looked through a drawer.

"found it!"

he grabbed a pill and gave it to me.

"do you need water?"

"i think i'm okay, thank you so much alberto."

"anytime."

i took the pill. i sighed.

"sorry for not believing you."

"no, it's okay. i'm better now.."

alberto coughed.

"so uh... you like what we did with the place?"

"yeah! it looks nice... you even put the poster back up."

"oh yeah, couldn't get rid of that."

i looked around the new place. it was so much cleaner and cooler.

"i like it."

"thanks, tell masimo that... okay shoot what time is it?"

alberto looked around and saw the clock on the wall.

"oh my gosh! is that the right time!?"

i looked down at my watch.

"oh yeah."

"oh, shoot. we got to go! i forgot i had work with masimo!"

"we should go then!"

"wait! are you sure you wanna go?"

"mhm, i'm okay."

"you want me to carry you just in case?"

"i- i mean if you want."

"okay.."

we got outside, alberto jumped in. he opened his arms.

"come on!"

i jumped into them. he carried me across the ocean back to portorosso. swimming with him like this just made my stomach feel things. and it wasn't the hurting i was feeling before it was... like butterflies.

we arrived at the water front. alberto let me down and shook himself off.

"thank you alberto, i appreciate it a lot."

i said as i got up.

"yeah, no problem. now let's go before masimo gets mad at me!"

"oh, right."

we got on the vespa and drove off.
