    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.)

    Summary

    Love is patient, love is kind. Those words have burnt into the core of his being.

    But when, for the third time in a month, he’s caught breathless with a hammering heart, thinking oh my god, it's happening, only for Alberto to look at him in confusion from where he’s kneeling, tying his shoelaces, he doesn’t have much patience left in him.
    --
    After waiting months for Alberto’s promised proposal, Luca takes matters in his own hands.

    Summary

    Alberto never knew how deeply he would fall for the boy who was too afraid to even touch the surface in the name of being a good boy. He never knew how quickly he would become his absolute everything. He never knew how he would soon occupy his mind at every waking moment. But above all, he never knew how hard it would be to keep him all to himself.

    A story in which Alberto unintentionally ruins said good boy.
