NOTE THEY ARE AGED UP! NOT MINORS !! [LOWER CASE INTENDED]

I won't be continuing this story. There won't be anymore updates or anything like that. Nothing against anyone, I've just lost interest in it and the movie. Thanks for all the positive comments and feedback 💖 Ever since Luca and Giulia came back from school, both he and Alberto have been feeling something that was hard for them to explain, or even figure out. Every time they were around each other, this feeling grew stronger. Alberto ignores this, but Luca, as curious as he was, wanted to know what he'd been feeling inside for so long. Even before seeing Alberto again, he'd been experiencing these new feelings. They knew everyone was comfortable with them being sea monsters, but what would they do if they found out something else about them? Something that...could possibly put them both in danger again. -Just so u know, Alberto is 15, Luca is 14, and Giulia is 14 in this story. (at first I thought she was 12 in the movie 💀) -Most of the story is just going to be them figuring out their feelings for each other, but there will be some fluff/romance. And if u like long fanfics, then you're in luck. - Every drawing in this story belongs to me. Credit me before stealing them 😘 Warning: homophobia, violence, depressing moments, mild cussing.

After being in Genova for what felt like so long, Giulia and Luca were finally coming back to Portorosso for the summer. After what felt like ages, the underdogs will finally be reunited, and most importantly, Luca will finally be able to see his best friend Alberto again. Even with this in mind, Luca just feels weird. Is it his nerves? Is he just anxious? Whatever it is, Luca is feeling something he's never felt before. He just can't put his finger on it. Only time will tell.... (Disclaimer: This is set after the events of the movie "Luca". I am writing this story with the mindset that if you're reading this, then you've most likely already seen the movie. I will try my best to include some recaps here and there, but watching the movie prior to reading this would be a big help :D I do not own any of the characters in this book nor have I created them. They belong to Pixar and are not my creations. This is a fan made creation and that was its original intention. -Marx) Started: August 12th, 2021 Finished: December 12th, 2021 ______________________________ Check out the sequel on my profile, "Beyond the Coral."
