Beautiful Mistakes || Luca x Alberto <3

Beautiful Surprise

"Follow me!" Alberto swam ahead, with Luca right behind him. They swam for nearly ten minutes until they reached a small cave with a curtain of seaweed covering the entrance.

"Check this out, Luca," Al pulled the seaweed to the side for Luca to have a look inside. Luca immediately gasped when he saw what was in front of him. It was a huge space full of bright glowing rocks and lots of colorful plants covering the walls. Luca's eyes were wide, he was speechless.

Alberto grinned as they swam inside. "Yeah I know. It's awesome, isn't it?"

Luca looked at him with astonishment, "Alberto! This place is INCREDIBLE! How did you find it?!"

Al replied, "Heh, well I've been exploring underwater a lot, and a few days ago I came across this cave. I decided to have a look inside, and I found this beauty. I wanted to show you, because I knew you'd like it."

Luca was still amazed by the sight. He swam around the place, picking up some of the glowy rocks. "How did we not see this place before?"

"Dunno, I'm surprised too. Must be a really good hidden spot," Alberto said to him.

Luca noticed the rocks in his hands changing from bright grey-blue to an orange, reddish-yellow. "Yeah, they can change colors too," Alberto added, swimming over to him.

The colors were so bright that Luca's eyes almost teared up. "This is so beautiful. We should definitely come here more often." "Yeah," Alberto nodded.

Luca turned to him, "We should get one for Giulia! She'll love these!"

"Yeah, but they only glow when they're underwater. So she'd need like a cup or something to fill with water so it would work," Al explained to him.

Luca shook his head, "I've never seen anything like this...Are these like, magic or something?"

"Who knows?" Alberto replied as he threw himself onto the rocks, laying on his back. Luca laid down beside him. "Woah, even the ceiling above us looks cool," he whispered, intrigued by the warm glow on the ceiling.

"This is the perfect place to just, hangout and chill," said Alberto. "Yeah," Luca agreed. "But what would we do here?"

Al thought for a minute, and then he smiled slyly. "This," he says as he grabbed a bunch of rocks in his arms and dumbed them all over Luca.

"Wh- hey!" Luca laughed, trying to get up. Alberto jumped on him and started burying him with rocks. Luca lunged onto him and fell on top of him, both throwing rocks at each other. "Hey! Quit it!" Alberto snickered as he tried grabbing Luca's arms. "Only fair if I do it back to you!" Luca chuckled, blushing slightly.

Alberto lightly shoved him and sat up. He hugged Luca tightly to prevent him from moving his arms. "Not fair!" Luca giggled. "What? I'm just giving you a hug!" Alberto laughed hysterically. He laughed even more as Luca tried squirming himself free, but couldn't do it. After several attempts and failing every time, he gave up.

Catching his breath, Luca asked him, "Jeez, why are you so strong?"

Alberto rolled his eyes, snickering, "Um, because I'm better than you. Duh."

"Yeah, sure!" Luca laughed loudly. Then they both went quiet once they noticed how close they were to each other. Their noses almost touched.

'Wait, why do I actually like being held like this?' Luca thought. They couldn't stop staring at each other either, which made his face turn red. Alberto was blushing too, both of their hearts were beating fast. For some strange reason, Al didn't want to let go of him, he liked holding him close to him, like he was protecting him.
