Ciao - Luberto

Chapter 1- "ALBERTO!"

*LUCA IS 17, ALBETO IS 18*

Albertos pov:

It had been a year since Alberto had seen Luca. He had come and gone to the train station 3 times when Luca visited, but he could never shake off that nervous feeling in his stomach whenever he walked towards the small platform.

Alberto sat on a bench in the station. It was a hot day, he couldn't wait to go swimming with Luca in the cooling water. He thought about Luca in his sea monster form. He blushed.

"Ugh, what's wrong with me." he muttered to himself, half smiling, covering his face with his hands.

Alberto had realised his feelings for Luca the first time he came back from school in Genova. But, for the last 2 years, he had been to nervous to say or do anything about it. But this year, he decided he would force himself to say something, even though this could make or break his relationship with Luca.

Alberto was dragged out of his thoughts by the sound of a train whistle.

Oh god.

And then he saw him.

Luca was perfect. He had grown, sure he wasn't as tall as Alberto, he never had been, but he was taller. His dark hair had grown out a bit, so it was fluffy and delicate. His hazel locked with Alberto's, gazing at each other. Luca dropped his suitcase, running.

"ALBERTO!" he cried, tears forming in the corners of his eyes.

"LUCA!!" Alberto called out.

And that was when Luca was, finally, back in his arms.
