Luca fandom just consider:
「Alberto doing his best to win Daniela’s trust after the whole “bad influencing Luca to run away” vs. Luca with trembling legs whenever Massimo spots him a little too close to Alberto 」
I just love the concept of these adorable fish boys getting so intimidated by their in-laws!
Alberto makes sure Luca’s mom knows how hard working he is by casually dropping by the Paguro’s residence to help out with chores and put the new courteous words he learned to use. He needs to show how well he’ll treat Luca, after all! (And although it works wonders, no fake confidence can mask his cold sweat whenever she as much as narrows her eyes at their intertwined tails)
Meanwhile Luca still has nightmares about that one shovel talk Massimo gave him. “I trust you to never hurt my boy or break his heart, Paguro” he had warned with a deep rumble (and promptly making up the boy’s mind about never, ever letting Alberto go home without working things out after a fight lest he risked getting on Massimo’s bad side)
Maybe the first few months of their relationship was composed of Alberto stealing chaste kisses from his bf and furtively intertwining the tip of their tails during family dinners at the Paguro’s while Luca showered him with meaningful courting gifts from the sea to show both him and Massimo how serious he was about his feelings and always making sure him and Alberto are on the same page ♡
