You've finally had enough. The urgent whispers in Italian, the curses in Italian, all of it! You've had enough of that language! However beautiful it was, the fact that you could not understand it frustrated you to no end.

Sighing, you turned to face your beloved silver-haired bomber, who was lighting up yet another cancer stick. "Hey Goku-kun~" you drawled, rolling the words around your mouth like a lollipop. "Can't you teach me some words in Italian?" The teenage boy blinked in surprise before taking a long drag on his cigarette. "Tch, stupid woman. I bet you'll remember only the cuss words and forget about everything else." He scowled, smoke rising from the cigarette dangling from his lips. "Wha…?" You inhaled sharply. "Of course I'll remember everything! Do you think that badly of me?" Your bottom lip trembling, you gave him your best puppy dog eyes, hoping that he would change his mind.

It worked. A red flush dusted Gokudera's cheeks and he turned his face away from you, suddenly very interested in his lighter. Scuffing his sneakers on the linoleum floor, he mumbled, "Ch…che, I…I'm not doing this for you or anything, it's just that you'll keep bugging me if I don't teach you, s…so, I 'll teach you, but you'd better remember every single word, you got that?"

Happiness bubbled up inside you and you flung your arms around the Storm Guardian, unaware of his deepening blush and the half-hearted profanities he spluttered. "Thank you Gokudera-kun!" You smiled, cuddling him one last time before letting go. "What's the first word you're going to teach me?"

A misty look suddenly came over Gokudera's face and he stared at you, his olive-green eyes sending shivers up your spine. Moving his lips close to your ear, he whispered, "It's amore."

~Extended Ending~

"What's amore, Goku-kun?"

"… Find out by yourself, stupid woman."

"Goku-kun, why are you blushing?"
