[ He's tickled pink just watching Luca's reactions, grinning back at every grin. He's proud of himself that he's hit the mark with these gifts — he thought he would, but it was nice to see it happen finally, after so long waiting to give Luca his gifts; though of course, he's just happy that Luca's happy. He takes another lazy sip of his warm Monster, sprawled out on the cushions still, crossing his leg over his knee and bouncing his foot in the air. ]
Hah, are you gonna just live in the bathroom now? I'll have to visit you~
[ There's a light chuckle in his voice, clearly teasing even if he isn't looking at Luca now, as he goes back to fidgeting with his new necklace, turning it this way and that in his fingertips to watch it catch the colors reflected from the Christmas lights. It's clear Luca hit the mark with his gifts, as well, Alberto looking very much in his element this way. Their first Christmas was an outstanding success, in his book. Not that he has much to go off, of course, but he's pretty sure they nailed this. Turns out they're great at Christmas-ing, too — who knew! ]
Yep! It's going to be my new home! But don't worry, I'll still come out sometimes so we can go on adventures together!
[Because naturally, adventures were always going to be important no matter how fascinated he'll always be by books. Luca finally reaches over, popping the tab on his own Monster and taking a drink and smiling when he sees how much Alberto is enjoying looking at his new necklace.]
[ That response gets a good chuckle, his grin widening though he just continues fiddling with his necklace. When Luca speaks up again, though, Alberto turns his smile back on him. ]
Of course I like it. I'll wear it all the time!
[ And Luca will come to see he really means that. It's never coming off again. When the time comes for the boys to eventually learn it's magic... ...they still won't realize it's magic. At least Alberto will get the credit. ]
