You are an artist my child!!
You also have a secret crush on one of the famous sea monsters of Portorosso. You decide to sketch him and wouldn't you believe it...someone was watching...*le gasp*
Read along and find out~
____________________________________
You were wondering the beautiful view of the ocean, not knowing what else to draw for inspirations.
You've finished a few pieces which were two ladies enjoying gelato at a bench.
They seemed to absolutely adore your work.
You also did one of the one armed fisherman and his cat. He also loved it, letting you pet his adorable cat.
And last but not least the city itself. The colors, bits of details and the people.
It was a fun project, but you are still hungry for inspiration.
You chew a bit a bit on the tip of the pencil, looking around the town for something new...while searching, you heard a whistle going off by the beach near you.
"Hey! I said walking!!"
It was just Alberto, the town's famous sea monster who won the portorosso's cup with his friends and now works as a life guard and a fisherman with his human father.
He also may be a goofball and slips a few accidents, but he sure is a total sweetheart to everyone here.
In fact, you developed a little crush on him, just for the fact that he is cute.
In your head, you decide to either sketch him or not.
But all in all, maybe he'd like it too! You never got to chance! at least its a good excuse to gaze upon him and his figure.
You noticed he's just standing there, watching over the kids from drowning.
You start to sketch his body figure as a draft, when it comes to crushes.
Try not to day dream!!!
Once you made the draft, you added some details, continuing to look at the handsome tanned lifeguard. Your starting to feel fuzzy in your mind...slowly flying up to Day Dreamland.
(Welcome to Day dream land)
Alberto walked back to his life guard tower until he noticed you sketching near a table.
He smirked to himself and make his way over to the table.
He spots on what your drawing while leaning next to you "Say, that looks pretty good bambola~"
You looked to gaze into his green eyes, mot sure what else to say, but imagining him looking too cute yet hot at the same time.
"If you ever wanna sketch me, I'll be glad to be your model~" He bites his lips, swirling his fingers around your hair.
You nodded and held your pencil close to your chest.
"O-of course..." Is all you would say.
"I'll even let you draw me like one of your french men, wearing only my whistle~" he swirled his whistle around and gently pressed his lips against the whistle and-
*CHIRP*
"WALK!!"
(End of Day Dream Land)
You were startled from the loud whistle over at the beach, dozing off from your day dream.
"Dio mio Marcus you need to stop kicking sand castles, its not cool!"
You giggled and finished with some touches, especially his hair and eyes.
Once it's complete, you felt like maybe it'll be sweet if you showed it to him now before he leaves.
Maybe it'll be a chance of Alberto liking you.
You got up from the table, making your way to the tower...however the bell rang and all the kids head out, but some didn't watch where there going...they shoved you and made you drop everything on the sand..
"God damn it!" You said to yourself.
You kneeled to pick up your papers and placing them back into your folder...that's when you felt a hand over yours...you froze knowing who's hand that belong to...
You looked up to see Alberto looking back at you.
"U-uhh.." you tried to say something but then Alberto picked up the paper and took a glimpse of what you made. I believe its the sketch you did of him...
His eyes widen, looking real amazed. You can tell from the pupils growing bigger around his iris.
Three words.
Super. Effing. Adorable!!
"Woah..you drew this?" He asked while pointing the picture.
You nodded slowly and turned red, hoping he didn't see you as a total weirdo.
"This is amazing! It looks just like me!! Wish I could draw like you." He smiles sweetly and hands it back to you.
"Say, I've seen you around before! Your that cute girl who draws other people around here!"
Wow...he actually knows who you are! You either feel like screaming or screech...
"Y-yeah." You said softly, putting the paper back to your folder.
You heard him chuckled light hearted "what's your name girl?"
"Y-y/n L/n." You introduced and he gently shakes your hand.
"Piacere Y/n." He said in a low tone, which made you feel like your day dreaming again...sadly you aren't...the only thing you need to do, is don't embarrass yourself.
"So Y/n, you doing anything tomorrow?"
Is watching your cat puke a hair ball and watching over your brother/sibling count as doing something?
"Not really..why?"
He looks down and back up at you. "I was wondering we can hang out in my hideout, you can teach me some drawing skills."
He wants you to teach him how to draw?!
Again...don't embarrass yourself.
"Id love that Alberto." You answered.
Then he grabbed your pen off the sand and gently writes something on your arm, which had to be his phone number. When he was finished, he hands the pen back to you.
"Call me whenever your ready tomorrow." He smiled softly and went to grab his stuff, getting ready to head on home.
"Ciao, A-Alberto." You waved and he does the same.
You are hyped to teach him! Maybe it'll bring you two closer!!
--The next morning--
You dressed into something cute and cozy, your not trying too hard, just wanna look presentable to your crush.
You went to grab some extra pencils and paper for the activity, maybe some colored pencils and paints as well, placing them in your backpack.
It appears your all set. Now you went to the phone in the kitchen, dialing Alberto's number.
You waited for a few seconds until you heard a very deep voice coming from the end line. It must be his father.
"Ciao!"
"Ciao! Um...is Alberto here?" You asked.
You waited and the man responded "Si, give me a moment."
So it is his father, he sounded pretty scary, but I bet he's a very nice man.
A few seconds later
"Ciao! This is Alberto."
Your cheeks flush red "Alberto, its me Y/n, I just wanted to tell you that, Im ready to teach you."
"Awesome! Meet me by fountain, and Ill show you where I live."
You nodded "Si, Ill see you there."
"Can't wait to draw with you! See ya!"
And the call ended. So you head on out of your home and make your way over the town's square.
You sat by the fountain, waiting for Alberto to show up.
Y/n's POV
I couldn't believe this is happening, teaching my own crush how to draw! Usually other guys wouldn't be interested in that...all they want is two things...sports and boobs.
I've been waiting for almost 2 minutes, not too sure if he's busy at work.
Or maybe he's not that interested...
That's when I felt a tap on my shoulder.
I jumped and turned to see who it was...it appears it was him.
"Mama mia you scared me!"
Alberto chuckled from my surprise, he sat besides me, felt a little close to me.
He is so handsome up close...I couldn't bear looking away...
"You ready?" He asked while I slowly doze back into my Day dream land. I shook it off and nodded.
"S-si."
He got up and held my hand, showing me his home which isn't too far. It was a nice cozy home.
His father even recognized me, same with his cat.
"Piacere Y/n, it's wonderful to see you again, how is your commissions going?" Massimo asked, showing a gentle smile under his mustache.
"Im doing great, so far I sold 4."
Then I felt something head butt me, I looked down to see it was their cat.
"Aww Machiavelli, he's really good with the le signore ."
I kneeled to pet him and I could see Alberto is smirking down at me.
"Im off to work now, you enjoy the day off son."
"Si Massimo."
And when the two left, its only me and Alberto.
"Alright, let me show you the hide out, but first! Make yourself at home!"
Wow, he really is that sweet. Something about him, I wanna know more about him.
So I took off my sweater, placing it on a chair, then pulled out some supplies we'll be using.
"Would you rather draw, paint or color?" I asked him.
He leans against another chair next to me.
"Hmm...drawing." He scratched the back of his head like he was a little puppy.
"Alright! All we need our pencils and paper."
Then I noticed his face looked oddly silly..almost like he's gonna say something or not.
"Uhh...Alberto?"
"Come on! Let me show you the hide out."
Wow...that was weird...it was funny though.
So he took me to his bedroom and climbed outside of the window, seeing a real peaceful yet beautiful sight of the water.
"Wow..." Looking up to see lights surrounding over us...wish I could have a place like this...
"You seem to like it huh?"
I blushed and turned to spot him smirking.
"Wish I had a nice hide out like this." I said softly, then I felt him slither his hand around my waist...woah okay!
"Well if you ever wanna hang out, I'll let you use it."
WHY IS HE SO CUTE?!?! UGHHHHHHHHH ><
"G-grazie, anyways, onto our session?"
He raised his eyebrow like what.
"How to draw?"
"Oh! Yeah! Let's do that"
Hmm...someone who's the same age as me must know what a session means...whatever!
I handed him a piece of paper and a pencil. It appears he's a left handed, Im actually surprised.
//who else is a leftie? ✋do you know that we lefties are the most rarest yet very creative beings? Now you know. UwU\\
"Now, this is gonna be very fun and simple! Let's do portraits of ourselves, its either known as self portraits." I explained and he's fully focused.
"You mean we'll be drawing each other?"
I nodded "Si! I draw you and you draw me."
He smiles and I laid against a branch behind me. "Its okay if it ain't too perfecto, practice is the key."
"Sweet!"
"If you ever need help, don't be afraid to ask the expert."
(Alberto's POV)
Expert huh? Kinda feels like we have something in common.
I got myself comfy and looked down at the white paper, I looked up at Y/n.
She did say its practice...but for my self portrait. I wanna make her look beautiful.
So I started sketching, keep looking at her face, which made me flush red...she kinda reminds me of Luca in a sort of way.
Sketching the nose seems pretty hard, her nose isn't that tiny...
(Y/n's POV)
I finished my draft and already going through some details of his hair and shades. I like to save accessories last.
But I noticed he's having some trouble.
"Need some help?" I asked softly and he looks up "n-no, just looking over at your texture."
Aww, okay just really focused on me.
"Okay."
Its been almost 15 minutes of sketching. He seemed to be done.
For me Im almost done with the last details. That's his freckles. He does have a lot, he truly is art.
After dotting his body. I put down my pencil and took a deep breath.
"Let me see how you did."
He crawled over to me with the paper and shows it to me.
When I look at it. It's not that bad! I loved how he tried to work on the details of my hair and my eyes.
He really did see me as beautiful.
"Its pretty good Alberto!."
Then its my turn to show him and his face turns red.
//Yes I drew that. Hope you like it\\
"Wow! Yours look so real!" He complimented on my sketch of him.
"Mmm Grazie."
I blush softly and hands the sketch to him "keep it."
His eyes widen and looks up at me, then gave me a big hug.
"Grazie Y/n!! I'll never lose this!" He said in cheer and the moment happened...
He kissed my cheek...just like that...
Alberto's POV
I should've went for the lips...but I don't wanna scare her off.
"Can we do another one?" I asked.
I actually had fun doing this! I always loved to draw. Maybe the more I do it, Ill get better and get to know Y/n!
Id like to know more about this shy cutie.
"Sure, maybe I'll show you poses next?"
Ooh! I like to do this one~
"Do I have to pose for you?"
She turns red and nodded, hmm..wonder if shes nervous after what I've said.
(3rd Person POV)
"Si, but maybe I should pose for you. While you sketch me."
This made the tan boy turn red, felt like he was gonna draw a naked woman. Instead a shy girl posing a comfortable position.
"You have 5 minutes to sketch." She said softly.
Alberto grabbed a fresh piece of paper and starts sketching.
It appears your gonna have a fun time making each other as an art piece~
Maybe soon you'll draw him like one of your french men in the future.
