Summary
This is my love letter to Giulia, who deserves the world for loving these fish boys like no one else.
---
She'd never asked Luca about his love life, always wanting to respect his privacy in a way she'd learned to do since cornering Alberto years before. But now this graffiti…it had been written in the girl's bathroom and Giulia felt sadly justified. So she had been right never to push Alberto into confessing to Luca, had been right in trying to dissuade his interest, in telling him to move on already, it’s never going to happen if it hasn’t happened by now.

Summary
It had been home, once. A home forced on him, true; a home he was left in. But through hungry days and cold nights and determined, defiant acts of survival, he’d made it his. A place where he made his own happiness. A place he’d been delighted to share with Luca, during those first golden weeks of their friendship.
A place he hasn’t been back to in five months, one week and three days. Counting is a hard habit to break.

Summary
The story always starts the same: You are 15, he is 19, a week away from 20.
The story always starts with the simple fact that Luca isn't here.
[Now with a happy ending!]

Summary
“Giulia. Coffee?” Luca asks from his seat at the kitchen table, in what he hopes is a pathetic enough tone that she’ll make it for him. Giulia gives him a sympathetic look over her shoulder, her hair already tied up in a messy bun. A curl bounces at her temple as she shakes her head.
“Sorry, Luca. All out.”
“Giulia…”
“It's fine, I have a better idea. You know where the science building is?” Luca nods as Giulia is already scribbling the directions on an old pizzeria-flyer, “There’s a little campus cafe just on the far side of the grass, you know where people sometimes study? My brother works there, just tell him I sent you and he’ll sort you out with something. You'll be caffeinated in no time.”
(Luca needs coffee and Alberto has coffee. Seems like a simple enough equation for something that ends up being anything but.)

Summary
“We should just… go. Run away.”
Luca blinks tears out of his eyes, fat and pearlescent on his cheeks under the moonlight. Alberto has his arm around him, hugging him to his side to try and offer comfort but Luca is too tightly wound for it to make any difference. This is the first friend he’s made. The first person to see him, to pull him out of his quiet and lonely life, and now Luca’s being taken away.
Alberto knocks his head against Luca’s as he sniffles, clumsily wiping at his eyes but missing big patches of green on his cheeks. Luca looks up at him with red-rimmed eyes, confused. “What...what are you saying?”
“I’m saying we should go. Like we planned, right? We’ll go to the town, get a vespa and just… just go.”
It's not a bad idea.
(A 'what if' fic, in which Alberto and Luca really do run away and find out the hard way that life can be ugly.)
