Ch.7|| Man, I Hate Being Cold

Aight, so this chapter is somewhat short, but there's lots of fluff in it. So I hope y'all enjoy it. ^w^

———————————————

The beautiful sound of birds chriping suddenly filled my senses, making me groan as I slowly woke up from a long night of slumber.

As my vision cleared and adjusted to my surroundings I noticed that I was still cuddled up to Alberto who looked as though he had been awake longer than I have.

"Morning Y/n~" he greeted me with a sleepy yet playful grin. I hummed in response before turning over to him, which resulted in a soft squeak leaving my lips and a small blush crawling onto my cheeks.

He laughed quietly as he wrapped his arms tighter around me. He nuzzled his nose against my cheek, sending shivers down my spine.

I quickly hid my face into his neck as I let out another squeak, this time out of embarrassment.

He chuckled once again as I lifted my head up and looked at him with a slight pout on my lips, my cheeks still flushed. "Sorry, sorry. Your face is priceless~!" He teased playfully as he kissed my forehead.

I rolled my eyes in annoyance before crossing my arms over my chest, hiding my embarrassment away from him.

"Whatever." I replied before burying my head into his neck, wrapping my arms around his torso, resting my head on his chest.

He rubbed small circles into my back as his warm breath ghosted against the side of my head. I hummed in response before letting out a yawn.

"Did you sleep well?" Alberto inquired after he ran his fingers through my hair lightly. "Yeah, I slept better than normal." I responded.

"Good." He replied with a small smile before planting another kiss on my forehead. "Do you wanna go downstairs and eat breakfast?" He offered.

"But what about Massimo? Wouldn't he be suspicious on how I got in this house?" I asked. "I'm sure he won't mind." He assured me. I sighed before nodding my head yes.

We walked downstairs and headed towards the kitchen where we saw Massimo sat at the table, reading a book, while sipping on some coffee with a plate of bacon, eggs and sausage sitting in front of him.

He glanced up as I and Alberto entered the kitchen before raising an eyebrow. "What are you doing here Y/n? I don't remember seeing you come in." Massimo inquired, not seeming to ve bothered by the fact that I was in my house. "Well, she snuck in through the bedroom window last night." Alberto answered, as he looked at me.

"Yeah, my parents will be on a trip for a month so I'll be alone. I hope you won't mind if I stay with you for the time being?" I told him, trying hard not to sound as nervous as I was.

Massimo blinked twice and placed his book aside before standing up, placing his dishes and plate in the sink as he looked at me. "Of course I don't mind. Your always welcome to make yourself at home Y/n." Massimo said as he ruffled my hair. "Alberto, Y/n, may I have a word with you two?" Massimo then said, clearing his throat.

I looked at Alberto who only gave Massimo a sheepish smile. "A-Am I in trouble Dad?" He asked. "No, of course not. Nothing like that. But you should know that Luca and Giulia are returning back to Potorosso from Genova to stay for two weeks." Massimo informed, I raised an eyebrow at the mention of the names Luca and Giulia.

I was confused but Alberto on the other hand seemed to be rather excited about this. I obviously never met Luca or Giulia before but they seem like nice people to be around. All I know is that Giulia is Alberto's sister and Luca is Alberto's best friend.

"Really?! I mean that's great and awesome and all but when are they coming back?" Alberto asked, excitedly. "They should be here sometime tomorrow." He replied before getting up from his seat and doing the dishes.

I only blinked, staying quiet for a few seconds, trying to process everything that I heard. And it seemed as though Alberto had noticed how quiet I've gotten. "C'mon Y/n, I'm sure you, Giulia and Luca will get along just fine." He reassured me in an attempt to ease my nerves.

Let's just say I'm not really great when it comes to meeting new people. Social anxiety makes me a total wreck sometimes and it's somewhat embarrassing too say the least.

"Come Y/n, let's go back to my room okay?" I heard him say, his voice snapping me out of my thoughts. "Right, okay." I replied quietly, following behind him as we made our way back to his room.

He reached for the doorknob and opened the door, stepping inside his room with me trailing behind him, closing and locking the door shut, making sure that no one was outside eavesdropping.

I turned to him as he removed his coat and  it carelessly across the floor before walking further into his room and plopping himself down on his bed. "Sit with me, okay?" I nodded and walked further into his room, sitting myself down next to him, resting my head onto his shoulder as I gazed at him.

I watched as he took off his shoes before setting them by the door before turning back to me. "Is something wrong?" He asked. "Nope. Everything's alright." I replied with a smile before turning my gaze away from him.

He then took my chin in between his thumb and index finger, forcing me to look at him again. He then leaned his body forward towards mine, pressing his lips gently against my forehead.

I blushed slightly, smiling as he did it again. I then closed my eyes and allowed myself to enjoy the moment before pulling away.

I could feel the coldness of the room increase slightly, making me shiver. I'm not really too fond of being cold. I honestly hate it. And it seemed that Alberto had noticed that I was cold.

"Are you cold, bambina? You're shivering..." He mumbled softly, concern laced in his. I bit down on my bottom lip, nodding my head. "Okay, come here." He said, before reaching out and taking me into his arms as he pulled the covers over us both.

I immediately relaxed into his hold before burying my face into the crook of his neck.

His scent surrounded me as I inhaled deeply before breathing out, sighing contently.
"Better?" He asked softly, a hint of a chuckle in his tone. I hummed happily before moving my head slightly. "Mhm. Much warmer." I replied. He smiled before kissing the tip of my nose softly.

Having Alberto's arms around me felt very comforting. And since he's bigger than me, I pretty much felt like a small kitten every time we've cuddled. I buried myself even deeper into his chest, listening to the beating of his heart as he held me close to him.

He began running his fingers through my hair in a soothing manner. I couldn't help but let out a content sigh at his touch. All I wanted to do was to stay with him like this all day.

"Mmf, you're warm~" I mumbled as I shifted my position slightly, snuggling closer to him before tightening the grip that I had on him. His fingers stopped in their movement as he stared at me in surprise before smiling lightly and rubbing my back.

"Are you going to fall asleep on me?" He teased, a teasing smirk playing on his lips. "Maybe~" I retorted, before shifting my position once again and burying my face into his neck once again, closing my eyes."But it's still only morning–" He started but I shushed him up by placing my index finger over his lips.

"Shush, don't care.." I  mumbled softly as I pulled away from him slightly before laying back down onto the bed and wrapping myself into the blanket. "You're very clingy, you know that right?" He stated with a small laugh.

I huffed in annoyance as he laughed before wrapping his arm around me tightly, pulling me closer to him. I felt safe in his embrace. No, actually more like loved.

I slowly drifted off to sleep with him beside me, feeling safe and secure in his warmth and love. I felt the familiar tingle of his fingers caressing my skin under my shirt, slowly making its way underneath, tracing my sides.

I can't help but smile as I fell further into sleep. This boy annoys me sometimes but he is a pro at showing me how much he loves me.
