A/N: Alright! Another story! A Gift Fic for my awesome friend SushiSandwich! Hello fellow readers! And hopefully new readers as well!
I noticed that K-T rated stories get more popularity, and I know why, since I have been in that situation. For those who don't know, there is a filter that you can use to monitor what you are reading. It's automatically on Rated K-T, so if you change to Rating: All, you can read everything! *This message is for Adult audiences. Kids, do not follow! You will be scared for life!*
Anyway, *sniffles* I can't use the F-word…*sobs*
Let's get started!
:::::000:::::
Claudio's POV~
I was walking on the beach, inhaling the beauty of it, and minding my own business. The sun was radiating on me, shining my jet black hair. I decided to get an ice-cream to cool down. I approached a stand named, Lucky Chloe's Ice-Cream! Nya!~. The name will always ring a bell. The owner called me over, so I came to her.
"Hi Claudio! Nya!~" Lucky greeted.
"Hey Chloe! What's your special?" I asked.
"It's the Strawberry Pocky ice-cream treat! Nya!~"
"Let me guess, strawberry pocky inside and around the ice-cream?"
"Yup! Nya!~"
"I'll take that." I declared.
"YAY! NY-HA!" Lucky cheered.
"Grazie." I said, receiving the ice-cream.
"You are the second person to order the special! Nya!~"
"Oh really? Who's the first?"
"She's my bestie, mostly like an older sister to me. Her name is Emilie De Rochefort. A.K.A. Lili! Nya!"
"Hmmm….Lili. How come you never told me about her before?"
"Are you looking for a girlfriend? Nya! Huh? Nya!~" Lucky interrogated.
"Probably, what does she look like?"
"You figure it out! She's probably down in the beach area. She has a gold bikini on. And guess what? It's real gold! Nya!~"
"Interesting…I'll see if I can find her. Grazie ancora! Arrivederci!" I saluted.
"Bye-bye! Nya!~"
As I walked away, I accidently tripped on someone. It was a girl with blonde hair. I couldn't see her eyes because it was covered in…ice-cream. And worse, she had a…gold bikini on. Still on top of her, I heard a tiny "Oww!" from the girl. Is this the girl Lucky was talking about? Well, there goes my first good impression. I have to get off her now and clean her up!
A voice interrupted my thoughts. "Lili-chan!" It was Lucky, she ran over with wet and dry napkins in her hands. On impulse, I immediately got off the poor gal and helped her up.
"Mi dispiace." I apologized to the girl.
Lucky and I grabbed the napkins and wiped the ice-cream off the blonde's face. Her face was revealed; she was a beautiful girl with pink lips and light blue/grayish eyes.
"Bellissimo…" I suddenly muttered.
"What?" The girl asked.
"He said you're beautiful. Nya!~"
I shot a glare and blushed at Lucky Chloe. Lucky gave me a mischievous smirk. The blonde blushed as well. "Oh, um….Thanks…" She quietly replied.
"Well, let me introduce you guys to each other. Claudio, this is Lili, the one we were talking about earlier. Lili, this is Claudio, my friend that we were talking about last week. Nya!~"
"Saluti Lili, mi dispiace for knocking you over." I said.
"Cough Cough In English, please. Cough Cough Nya!" Lucky interrupted.
"Greetings Lili. Sorry for knocking you over."
"Hello Claudio. It's alright." Lili reassured.
"I'll get you two some of the Lucky Pocky special and you guys will get to know each other, mkay? Nya?"
Lili and I couldn't reply because we were busy starting into each other's eyes. Neither of us noticed that we were staring too long, but it didn't matter. She was TOO beautiful.
"I guess I'll take that as a yes then, Nya…" Lucky trailed and scurried to her ice-cream booth.
I decided to break the ice. "Um, where are you from?"
"Monaco."
"What-" I was cut off.
"Guys! Here you go. Nya!~" Lucky handed us the Lucky Pocky Treat ice-cream.
"Thanks Chloe! We'll go now. I would take you, but three's a crowd." Lili said.
Lucky nodded at Lili and turned to me. Chloe gave me a knowing look and wiggled her eyebrows. I playfully rolled my eyes at her and patted her head. "Arrivederci Lucky."
"Bye! Have nice time! Make sure you kiss her Claudio! Nya!~"
"Bye!"
:::::000:::::
"So, do you have any siblings?"
"Well, besides Lucky-as a younger sister to me- I'm an only child." The blonde responded.
"Oh, do you have parents?"
"Of course I do, but not a mother though." Lili sighed.
Claudio was surprised. No wonder why the people in the Iron Fist Tournament thought she was a spoiled brat. She had no mother to teach her good and bad decisions or choices. No mother to teach her right or wrong. No motherly love and care. Her father doesn't have enough time for Lili, so when he does, he spoils her to her heart's content. It's sad. She even had no one to grow up with. Claudio had a wonderful family. A happy mother and father. Caring and lovable siblings. Lili may have the wealth, but in comparison, Claudio is much richer than the beautiful blonde girl.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Claudio sympathized.
"It's alright." Lili said. "I'm sure others have worse than me."
"Um, when did you meet Chloe?"
"In the King of Iron Fist Tournament 7 silly!" Lili laughed.
Claudio blushed in embarrassment and nervously laughed along. "Oh, right." He said sheepishly.
"You know, this isn't right." Lili said.
Claudio's eyes widened. "What isn't?!"
"The fact that you are only asking me the questions! Are you a stalker or something?" Lili joked.
Claudio blushed even harder than before. "NO! Sto solo molto…interessato a te…" Claudio whispered.
Unfortunately, Lili heard what he said, but didn't understand it.
"What?"
"He said that he's just very interested in you." A familiar voice said.
"CHLOE?!"
"The one and only! Nya!~" Lucky happily announced.
"What are you doing here?" Lili asked.
"Watching out for you guys! Nya!~" Lucky said.
"But we don't need watching! We're not little kids!" Claudio complained.
"Oh well! I just wanna watch! Nya!~" Lucky complained back.
"We need to do something about her…" Lili told Claudio.
"I know just the thing."
::::::000::::::
After 20 struggling minutes, Lili and Claudio dusted off their hands. They were very impressed with their work. Lucky Chloe was buried in the sand with only her head sticking out. Plus, she was unconscious. With a final glance at Lucky, the two continued their walk on the beach.
"So, you are very interested in me, huh?" Lili smirked.
Claudio blushed a light pink. "Well, yeah. You're kind-hearted, sweet and…beautiful." Claudio confessed.
Now it was Lili's turn to blush. "Well, should I take that as a compliment or love-confession?"
Claudio blushed red and smiled charmingly. "Both."
In the sunset's view, Lili wrapped her arms around Claudio's neck and he put his hands on her waist. Slowly, but surely, the couple leaned in and shared a loving kiss. It lasted about 5 minutes. When they pulled apart, it was Lili's turn to confess.
"I may not know much about you, but I will soon. You are caring, charming, and….handsome."
Claudio pulled her in for another kiss and after, they walked on the shore hand-in-hand.
The End!

A/N: Whooo! That my Gift Fic for my special friend! (You know who you are!) When you get back, I hope this is the first thing you read! I also hope this was satisfying! It kinda feels like this is for children, but if I continue, it won't be! (More T rated ^_^)
Oh, and I hope most of you can use context clues to understand what Claudio is saying! I used Google translate for this and I have a feeling it's not very much accurate…
LOVE TO EVERYONE!
