Lost Little Sea Boys (A LUCA FanFiction and Crossover)

Ch. 31: Aito Likes Alberto

As the Konomashīs got back to Japan, Akiko went with Serenity to get her to Mr. Robert, a sweet, kindhearted man who took care of horses. The others went back to the apartment. Akiko walked with Serenity for about two minutes as Mr. Robert waved. "Hey there!" He yelled. Akiko smiled at the man. "Hi!" She replied. Serenity whined calmly. After Akiko walked Serenity back to her stall, she pressed her forehead against Serenity's muzzle. "Thank you for helping us, Serenity." Akiko said as Serenity neighed softly. Mr. Robert looked concerned. "What happened today, Ms. Akiko?" He asked.
"I don't know, there was this guy named Ercolé, he was chasing me and my friends to hunt someone down, and we had to jump in a lake, 私たちはほとんど死にました-。" Akiko said, breaking out in Japanese. Mr. Robert was concerned. "I'm sorry, Akiko." He said. Akiko frowned as her hair turned blue, indicating sadness. As Akiko and Mr. Robert finished their conversation, Mr. Roberto bid Akiko adue. "I hope you have a nice day." She said as she walked off. Serenity neighed softly as she walked to her stall. It took Akiko about ten more minutes to get to the apartment. Meanwhile, at the apartment, Alberto, Luca, and the Konomashīs were in the living room, having a concerning conversation about the most recent event. "Wow. I can't believe Ercolé actually tried to hurt us. Let alone in front of you." Alberto said, frowning. Akito frowned as well. "Well, some people are like that. That's the problem with this world; you can trust almost no one." She said. Aito, the baby in the Konomashī Family, crawled over to Alberto and Akito. Alberto looked over to the baby boy, who was smiling. "Does that include babies?" He asked, pointing to Aito. Akito shook her head. "No." She replied. Alberto smiled at Aito as Luca laughed. "He's so cute!" Alberto exclaimed, looking at Luca. Luca laughed a bit more. "I mean, look at those cheeks!" Alberto finished. Just then, Aito grabbed the Sea Boy's face and giggled. Aito stretched Alberto's face for a few seconds. "Hi, I'm Alberto!" Alberto exclaimed. He was barely able to talk because of the baby boy squeezing and and stretching his face. "Abero." Aito repeated, slightly mispronouncing Alberto's name. Moments later, Aito climbed onto Alberto and rested on his shoulder as he rubbed Alberto's right cheek. Alberto chuckled. "He loves my face." He said to Luca, but slightly muffled. Akito giggled. "I can tell!" She said. "Okay. Lemme help you with that."
"Aw, that's so sweet!" Alberto said as Aito climbed onto Alberto's back. Aito then started to pull on Alberto's hair, which made Alberto slightly lean back. "Ow, okay. Okay, that's too much! Ow!" Alberto exclaimed as Akito quickly and gently picked Aito up. Akito rubbed Aito's tummy. "What're you doin'? You like Luca and Alberto?" She asked. Aito laughed as a response. "Are you okay, Alberto?" Akito laughed. Alberto just gave Akito a thumbs up.
