 Luca sat in the train booth, across from Guilia playing with his hands softly. He kicked his legs, hitting Guilia a few times as he grew more nervous as the train grew closer to Portorosso. Guilia gave Luca a look of reassurance before moving to sit next to him, #1 to avoid any more bruises on her shins and #2 to put Luca in a comforting side embrace. He couldn't understand why he was so nervous, it hadn't been like he's never seen Alberto before, sure it's been three seasons since he's seen him last but it still wasn't his first.

To Luca however, this time around felt new. It was something different. A feeling of seeing Alberto again just keep him up deep feeling in his stomach. He knew he was going to see Alberto permanently this time as he just graduated from school. Through times of not seeing Alberto for months on and it got him thinking. Realizing who he truly was and realizing how he truly felt about Alberto.

Luca got lost in his mind, always being a daydreamer. American music slipped into his daydreamed states, forming new thoughts. Elvis Presley's, Can't Help Falling In Love, played softly over Guilia's mini radio that she had on low volume. Luca grew to like American music, learning a lot about it in school.

That's where he saw him, for a split second he saw Alberto at the train station, now finding him in his thoughts. There they were, together on a beach as Luca played Can't Help Falling In Love on a record for Alberto, giving him some other music, even though Alberto had heard it before. The sand together, running along the moonlit beach, singing as the water splashed onto them, parts of their bodies - were wet- turning into smooth scales. The two boys danced together, singing along with huge smiles on their faces. "Alberto'' Luca stopped dancing. "I need to tell you something" Alberto looked at him, his image in a slight blur. The boy went to speak bit was snapped out of his trance, a girls voice flooding his thoughts before he snapped out of his daydreamed state. "W-what?" Luca looked at Guilia.

"Santa Mozzarella..." She huffed "We're here. We've been here. We have to go" Guilia stands looking down at Luca. He simply nodded and stood, glancing out the window his knees almost gave out seeing Alberto.

"What is wrong with me." He spoke quietly. Guilia turned and raised a brow. "Why do I feel like this, I never felt like this- I cant- I feel sick Guilia." She put a hand on his shoulder.

"Starai bene Luca-" She smiled. "You got this." Luca only nodded, grabbing his bag before following Guilia off the train. He breathed slowly and started to step off of the train, seeing Alberto stand there with Massimo, he froze. Luca wasn't sure why he felt this way, he's been seeing Alberto every summer for the past 5 years. He took a deep breath.

"Silenzio Bruno..." He told himself.
