"Oh, Luca! I said be careful!" Sydney said for the umpteenth time while carrying a chair towards the living room.

Luca nodded happily. "I know, Juli!"

"If you knew then why do you keep running?" He grumbled.

"Why do you keep telling me?"

"Because you keep running!"

Sydney was carrying chairs towards the living room while Luca carried a wide blanket. She keeps tripping though and it was making Sydney's heart flip in worry.

She'll be the reason for his death one day.

He has a lot to accuse her for his death. Her cuteness for example, her pout, her clumsiness, Luca's cherry chubby cheeks, Luca being a magnet for trouble, Luca getting lost so easily in crowded places and so many more.

Sydney placed down the chair. He wiped the beads of sweat and grabbed the wide blanket from Luca. He then placed the blanket on top of the four chairs, making a mock ceiling.

The man huffed. "Making a fort is hard."

Luca went inside and squealed. There were a lot of pillows inside to make it more comfortable. They also brought chips and a laptop to watch Netflix.

Sydney smiled at Luca. She was rolling around, hugging her favorite carrot pillow.

"I'm going to close the lights now." Sydney exclaimed, walking towards the switch. "Open the Christmas lights, okay?"

"If Enzy sees this mess then we'll be very screwed." Luca giggled, still doing what she was told.

Sydney snorted, closing the lights. The living room immediately went dark. The only light available were the Christmas lights flashing with different kinds of color. "Well, you joined in so we won't be very screwed."

"I dunno 'bout that." Luca gave him a cheeky smile. "You're the adult one here, Juli, so if Enzy gets mad, you're the one who's screwed."

He raises a brow in amusement while he walked back towards their fort without tripping. "Oh, you traitor and where did you learn the word screwed? That's bad."

Luca shrugged. "From Gabi. And it's not bad unless Enzy or Gabi is here."

Sydney crawled inside the fort while processing what she said. He narrowed his eyes at her. "Are you just saying that because you think that I'll agree with you?"

"Juli, don't be silly. I know that you'll agree with me."

Sydney laid down with a grunt and nodded lazily. "Yeah, you're probably right."

"Oh, that's not right."

Luca looked up and smiled widely at an annoyed Pierre. "Hi, Mr. Pierre!"

"My lady, you shouldn't say such crude things." Pierre reprimanded.

Luca tilted her head to the side. "Crude?"

He gave her a pointed look. "You know what that means. Quit playing innocent."

Pierre then looked at Sydney expectantly.

The man lazily raised his arms in defense. "Luca wanted it, darlin'."

"Don't call me that." He sighed, shaking his head. "And if Enzo sees this, he'll throw a fit!"

"Awww... But we'll clean it afterwards... " Luca pouted and damn it, she's using her puppy dog eyes. Her eyes were sparkling with nothing but adorableness. "I promise!"

Pierre grumbled in defeat before trudging towards the fort. "Move, you despicable monster."

Sydney moved closer to Luca and grinned at Pierre. "Aww, I love you too, honeybear."

The bodyguard crawled inside. Now, Sydney was in the middle of Luca and Pierre.

"Ah..." Luca sighed with a smirk visible on her face. "I could hear the church bells singing."

"Luca!" Sydney theatrically gasped, looking at her with awe. "Where on earth did you find such wonderful words? What would happen if Enzo hears you talking like that?"

Pierre raised a brow at Sydney. "Just so you know, I don't want to be married to you." Pierre then chuckled and smiled proudly at Luca. "And I know where that came from. Up top, Lu."

Luca's eyes beamed and high fived him.

Sydney pouted and hugged Luca protectively. "She's my sister, you know."

Pierre rolled his eyes. "I'm not saying that she's not."

Luca snuggled closer to Sydney. "You're being a scaredy cat, Juli."

"No, I'm not!" He squeaked but then cleared his throat and looked at her seriously. "No. No, I'm not."

"Believe it or not but your brother is a scaredy cat." Pierre whispered like it was the biggest secret in the whole world. "And he's just acting tough."

Luca giggled at him, looking at Sydney especially. "Juli is just acting tough 'cause of his man pride."

"There's no such thing as 'man pride'!" Sydney defended. "You guys are being mean. Especially you, honeybee."

"You're just offended because it's true." Pierre teased, jabbing him. Sydney scoffed and playfully pushed him away.

Luca nodded. "That's true."

Sydney grumbled. "Look at what you've done to Luca! She's being a tease now!"

Pierre rolled his eyes. "Well, I wouldn't be surprised. She's related to you after all."

Sydney blinked at him in disbelief. "Is that supposed to be a compliment or an insult, honeybear?"

Pierre sighed in irritation. "Believe me, it's an insult. It's nothing but an insult."

Sydney huffed and glared at him. "Why are you being rude to me?"

"Because you're being rude to him." Luca exclaimed in a matter-of-fact tone.

He looked at Luca. "Why do you keep siding with him?"

Luca looked at him and grinned. "I don't wanna be on the losing side and Juli, I'm super duper sorry but you're on that side."

Sydney pouted and looked at Luca. "Passerotta, sei così cattivo con me."

(Little sparrow, you're so mean to me.)

Luca gave him an innocent smile, batting her eyelash cutely. "Bu' you still love me."

"I don't now." He said stubbornly. "Nope. I hate you."

"If you did then you wouldn't build a fort for me now, would you?"

Oh, damn. She's knows. She knows that she's got them wrapped around her little fingers. Sydney playfully glared at her and he could see the mirth in her beautiful chocolate doe eyes, her smile that showed her small adorable cute teeth and her rosy puffy cheeks that just melts his heart completely.

Sydney sighed, defeated. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever, you little brat."

Pierre chuckled and let his head rest on the thousands of pillows. "This is relaxing."

Luca also laid her head down and hummed in response.

Sydney looked at both of them and chuckled, laying his head down as well.

"Yeah..."

Later that day

"We're—Why the hell is it so dark?" Gabriele grumbled before cursing out of nowhere. "Cazzo! Porca misseria!"

(Fuck! Damn it!)

"Language!" Enzo exclaimed, trying to find the switch. It was too dark to see.  Every curtains were closed and the lights were all off. Everything was pitch black.

"I just fucking stubbed my toe!" He complained angrily. "Open the fucking lights already!"

Enzo was about to grab his phone to open his flashlight when he saw the Christmas light. He walked towards there with Gabriele cursing everything.

When their eyes landed on the fort, their hearts softened.

It was a large fort with loads of pillows. Christmas lights were surrounding the fort, giving it a soft glow to the room.

But inside of the fort was adorable.

Luca, Pierre and Sydney were sleeping. Luca was snuggling with Sydney. The man was lying on his stomach, snoring softly with an open laptop in front of him. Pierre laid his head on Sydney's back, his mouth open with tons of pillows surrounding him.

"Oh, man." Gabriele chuckled. "They're going to clean this up later."

Enzo agreed with him but they don't have any courage to wake them up. It was such a cute scene. The air surrounding them screamed cuteness.

"I need to take a picture for my lock screen." Enzo said, grabbing his phone.

Gabriele snickered, also grabbing his phone. "I need it for blackmail. Sydney's totally screwed."

And that was how their day went.
