You and Alberto were having a bit of a sleepover, when you woke up in the middle of the night...you noticed something doesn't feel right...

Alberto's POV

Ugh...I don't feel too good...Ive been getting bad sleep lately...I don't know why...

Possibly I've had too much on my mind? Is Bruno keeping me up at night?...

Or was it a bad idea to have sweets during the night?

I don't know...I did my morning routine, made myself an expresso, having a nutritious breakfast, looking out the window to see if anything looked interesting..

Until I saw the love of my life...I-I mean uh..friend...y/n.

Ive known her since Guilia and Luca began going to school, I started to communicate more with humans my age.

Y/n was one of them, maybe Ill go see her!

*meow*

Looking over at Machiavelli, looking pretty angry. "Aww Im sorry chunks." I grabbed a bowl and poured some cat food inside and handing it to him.

Now he looked very pleased.

Okay...its time to head over to the fish market!

--Down at the mini market--

I stood behind Y/n who's selling some already prepped fish to customers.

Hearing her be so kind to people always brings a smile to my face.

"Grazie!" She said and waved them goodbye, I walked over and wrapped my arms around her waist.

She flinched from the touch and turned around.

"Ercole I swear if that's you...Ill k-" she froze when she sees my face.

I smirked and raised my eyebrow "you'll kiss me?~"

She sighs and chuckled over my response. "Hey Alberto"

I let go of the hug and hang near her side by the table "say uh, how's your day been?"

She shrugged and placed the new fish near the organized pile. "Its going good, sold almost 30 fish. Nothing special." She looked down at me and Im completely gazing upon her beautiful hair and body...

"That's nice." I said and accidentally dropped one of the fish.

"Oh crap!" I kneels down to grab it but before I did, another hand was placed on top of mine.

"I'm terribly sorry Y/n-" she giggled and picked up the fish.

"Aw its okay, accidents happen, Ill clean it up." She smiled and went to wash it off.

I scratched the back of my head and took a deep breath "so Y/n...I was wondering if you liked to uh...you k-know? Hang out?"

She looked back at me and I could see a shade of red growing around her cheeks.

"Sure! Id love to, my shift ends in 45 minutes, if you like you stick around, we can chat."

"Great!" I smiled and sat nex with her, helped her sell some fish.

--45 minutes later--

Most of the fish were all sold and Y/n grabbed her bag, looking up at me.

"Wanna head to my place as usual? My parents won't be home until 8."

I smiled and nodded "sure! Lets go."

So the two of us went to go grab my vespa to ride up to her home.

When we made it there, I went to park my vespa near the front porch, she didn't mind at all.

"Make yourself at home, Ill go grab my art supplies."

I nodded and she walked off, I took a look around her home, seeing photos of her when she was little, snow globes, even a current photo of Y/n looking beautiful in such a dress.

I gazed into her sweet smile, until I shook my head when I heard her voice.

"You ready?" She asked, putting her canvas and paints down on the coffee table.

"O-oh yeah! Im ready to paint" I smirked, grabbed one of the canvas and I already knew what to paint.

--A few moment's later--

Me and Y/n were painting 2 new portraits, one was silly, but the other is more detailed.

We even did a portrait of each other.

Her painting of me which was fascinated...made me look handsome.

My painting of her was more detailed with the background.

"Your really good at this Alberto." She complimented.

I blushed and held the canvas next to my chest.

"Mm its getting late, Im gonna change, mind if you look away?"

"Anything for you my lady" I turned my body around and not facing her.

Y/n's POV

I blushed from the thought of him watching me change into my pjs, but Alberto knows better, I mean if we were ever dating, I'd let him watch.

I opened up my dresser to grab my pjs, putting them on until I noticed Alberto tried to peak.

"No peaking pervert" I teased and he snickered back at me.

Pulling up my shorts and tug my tang top a bit, walking back to the bed, laying down next to Alberto. "You can turn around now."

Then he turns his body to see me in my revealing pjs. I mean it's summer, it gets hot in bed.

"Wow, you really that into me huh?~" He smirked and winked down at me.

God why does he have to say that...

"Its hot so." I blushed and turned my body to the other side.

I felt something wrapped around my waist and a soft pair of lips pressing against my ear..

T-this is new...

"Night Y/n.." He says my name softly.

I shut my eyes and nuzzled under the spoon "Good Night Alberto."

And we both fell asleep.

--Around midnight--

I woke up feeling a bit cold...I got up to close the window, until I spotted Alberto was gone...

Did he went home?

Well when I looked outside his vespa is still outside.

Maybe in the bathroom?.

I put on my soft slippers and head over to the bathroom door, no lights were on...

Suddenly I saw the front door is open...

I rushed down to the door, looking around the area...was he kidnapped?.

"Oh no...I have to find him..." I said to my self and went to go change my clothes, getting ready to find him.

Heading to the town, I looked around to see where he is...

I keep hearing snoring near the water fountain.

I ran down to see Alberto slowly walking to the fountain, picking some stuff from inside...

Is he awake? Why is he looking inside the fountain?

"Mmm no...maybe check the water..." I heard him mumble to himself and start walking down to the water.

I sneaked behind him, wanting to see where he is going.

He stopped near the waves, is he just standing there just to see the ocean or if he gonna go for a swim?

He slowly took off his yellow shirt which made me blush...He soon jumped into the water..

When he entered...I rushed near to the waves, held his shirt next to me.

I wonder when he'll come back...so I sat in the sand and look at the waves sway back and forth near the shore.

--15 minutes later--

I tried so hard not to sleep, but til after I shut my eyes the 15th time. Something popped out of the water, and its coming right to me...

I got up from the sand and see Alberto shaking off his scale skin and holding something in his hand.

"Alberto!" I shout his name, running towards him...I noticed that his eyes were shut...was he sleeping this whole time?...

How though?...

Then he gasped, wide awake when he looks down at me. "Oh..hey Y/n. Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" He asked me and I raised an eyebrow

"We're you sleeping under the water?"

He tilts his head and looked around "how did I get here?.." He felt something in his hand and sees he is holding a shining ball...

"Woah! A pearl! How did I get this?.."

Oh my god I figured it out..."your a sleepwalker! It all makes sense now!" I shouted.

Alberto raised an eyebrow and sees the pearl and back at me.

Then he slowly kneels down on one knee...

Huh?...

He cleared his throat and held it near me.

"Y/n...I know this is awkward timing but...would you like to be my girlfriend?" He smiled sweetly while my heart pounded like crazy...

Shirtless Alberto kneeling with a shining rare pearl onto his palm, near the waves and a slow sun rise...

Wow...he did all of this just to so we could be together?...

I jumped into his arms and hugged him "Yes! Yes I do!!"

We both fell near the waves hitting us with cold water, seeing Alberto in his monster form.

He cupped my cheeks with his scaled like hands and I looked deeply into his stunning green eyes, I leaned down to give him a sweet kiss.

"I should sleepwalk more often~"

"Please don't." I giggled and kiss him more.
