When Alaude's mouth opened, Cavallone was shocked, he wasn't sure if the guardian would open but…what was he thinking?

Cavallone cautiously entered his tongue into Alaude's mouth, and began to gently entangling his tongue with Alaude's. He wanted to make Alaude moan, make him feel pleasure, to hold him, to…to…love him.

Almost immediately, he pulls away, sputtering and coughing and the like while facing away from the Cavallone Primo. Alaude was surprised that Cavallone would go as far as frenching him so early on. Of course, he really couldn't escape from the boss's hold so he looks away, both frustrated and embarrassed to admit that he relatively enjoyed their little exchange. He was also surprised by all the feelings that transmitted through the kiss. Did this man really care for him in such a way? He was confused, unsure about what to do, fearing that this might grow into something more if he allows it to do so. "Why, why did you do that?" He asks, voice light and weak, almost unheard from his heavy breathing.

Cavallone instantly let go of the guardian, -WHY? WHY?-the primo raised his hand to his mouth and stepped away giving the guardian space to breath. Why the hell did he do that? What was he supposed to say?-Because I love you? Because I want to be with you? Because the whole reason I wake up in the morning and rememeber to breath everyday, is so i can see you?-How the hell could he say that? His worst fear was coming true, he didn't want to push the other away. "I-ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean- I mean I did but…" For the first time in a long time the boss didn't know how to explain his actions.

He frowns, eyes hidden under his bangs, "Next time… just… just warn me a little before you do such a thing. I-I dislike being surprised." His heart continues to pound, almost threatening to burst out from his chest from this strange, heart-wrenching feeling inside. Alaude felt like he was going to be sick, face turning insanely red as he bites down on his lower lip, almost feeling as if he was going to faint, but refuses to do so with Cavallone standing before him. "Tch, how… annoying," Alaude utters under his breath.

Alaude's words hurt, but they were understandable. "Are- are you okay?" he asked, still keeping his distance.

He nods and replies, still looking down, "Yes… I am perfectly fine. My apologies if I have offended you by… well… You know." Great, now he feels guilty knowing that he probably hurt Cavallone's feelings, smooth move man, real smooth.

Cavallone smiled, even if it was a fake smile, he was glad that Alaude atleast he said he was okay. "Well… do you still want dinner? We should head back soon, it's getting dark." He wasn't sure how long they were standing there, but the sun had already set and the stars would be coming out soon.

Don't assume that Alaude can't see through that smile, Cavallone. He knows the difference, through years of experience interrogating and whatnot, between false emotions and true genuine ones. Cold, blue eyes stare at the man as if trying to extract what the other was thinking before said man's voice breaks his concentration. Dinner… right. "Of course. And, don't smile if you do not have the emotions to back it up, Cavallone; I detest lies and deceit." He smirks and starts to walk off in the direction of the estate.

A real smile broke out on Primo's face, Alaude had smirked, that's sorta like a smile right? Cavallone sprinted after the guardian trying to not to get too close but close enough.

Cavallone and Alaude sat down on patio table underneath an outdoor cabana. He had made sure that the chefs had made everything perfect. The boss gave a small nod at the servants, and they quickly headed back to the main house. After what had happened at the lake, he sort of regretted setting up candles everywhere, like everywhere… The table consisted of chickens, steaks, pastas, salads and a giant platter of cakes and sweets in the middle.

His eyes widen at the large array of food, somehow catering to his own personal tastes… Was this man stalking him or something? "You… did all of this just for tonight?" Well hot damn, this is pretty nice of Cavallone to do, too bad Alaude wouldn't ever think of doing such a thing if he ever went on a da—outing and he was to cater to the other person's needs.

Clearing his throat, Alaude nods in thanks and begins to help himself to the foot before him, getting a large steak for himself as well as the pasta.

Cavallone smiled at Alaude who started to take food, he was glad he was happy, Cavallone had spent the whole day asking people at the Vongola house all about Alaude and things he liked to eat. He waited for Alaude to take the first bite, the guardian didn't say anything as he continued to eat, so Cavallone began to eat as well.

They both ate in silence, at least until dessert, the primo had to hold in a laugh as Alaude ate a cupcake he had chosen from the platter. "Alaude~ you have a little…" Cavallone smiled, as he reached over and wiped a little bit of icing off of Alaude's check using his finger. Cavallone put the his finger to his mouth and licked the icing "Mmm-" having a big grin on his face disappear. "AH!- I'm sorry! I didn't actually…realize what I just did… "( ´Д｀)

He blinks, not sure how to respond to the action by Primo Cavallone other than returning to eating, muttering a small "thank you" before returning to finishing the cupcake and the rest of his delicious sweets. Alaude's face continues to stay fixated on his plate, refusing to look up, almost paranoid that he might end up freezing up and stare at the man, flushing in embarrassment.

Cavallone gulped, he had been spared, but the cold attitude was worrying. The boss waited for Alaude to finish his desert as he sipped the last of his whine. As they both sat there in silence Cavallone decided to offer his head, "Um, this is going to sound wierd but, Alaude, did you not like my… kissing?"

Should he dare to look up? …He does, but quickly averts his eyes once again, replying with a soft, "I… did not hate it." Good god man, stop being like a little schoolgirl who is talking to a long-time crush like in those shojo mangas and man up already! Alaude shakes all sorts of worries from his head and this time, looks straight at Cavallone in the eye, not about to become timid and weak all of a sudden. "I was simply surprised and caught off guard, but overall, it was not as bad as I expected it to be.

Cavallone was overjoyed, but he contained it. staring in Alaude's beautiful blue eyes, once you look past the cold surface, Alaude was amazingly cute~ He was glad it wasn't his kissing that was the problem, or that Alaude didn't like it, he just simply had let Alaude know in advance. "So~ it would be ok if we, kissed, like that, from before?" raising his eyeborws as he asks the question. Tread carefully Cavallone…

Hesitation came first, as a long pause came after Cavallone spoke. Eventually, Alaude managed to find his voice once more and replies, "…Perhaps at a later time, when my thoughts are more organized. Today has been rather… eventful to say the least."

He didn't want to say that he still possessed mixed feelings about all of this and felt that before moving on, the two of them ought to spend more time together. Although he wonders if progressing too slowly would hurt their relationship. Then again, why should he be so caught up about these kinds of matters? The world may never know~

Leaning back in his chair, a gentle smile formed, he understood.

As Cavallone escorted Alaude to the front do his mind was racing. What was he supposed to do? He wasn't supposed to kiss him at the lake, he was supposed to kiss him at the door, like a real date. Opening the door he already sees the carriage that is supposed to take his date home, -think of something!- "I hope you enjoyed our da-outing…haha, even though I guess I did sort of 'surprise' you, to say the least." Biting his lip he started hesitating, -should I tell him my true feelings?- the boss quickly pushed the question out of his head, he didn't want to make Alaude any more confused than he already was. "I hope we could do this again someday, if you'd like." he asked smiling.

Not at all impressed the Cavallone's little attempt at being funny, Alaude simply nods, walking towards the carriage before quickly turning around once again to flash another smirk. Should they continue these little dat—outings? Well, if the cloud guardian could start calling these 'outings' freaking dates, that would be a major milestone reached already! "If i have the time," he sighs, "I suppose we can continue these little outings. Until then, Cavallone." He turns back around and into the carriage to go back home.

Once the carriage was out of view, Cavallone let out a sigh. He sits down on the stone steps and looks up at the stars, breathing in the cold night air. He hadn't said no, he said they could continue. The primo smiled to himself, so he hadn't screwed it up, there was still a chance. Even if Alaude couldn't except his feelings, he was ok, with just knowing Alaude was somewhere around him. Cavallone touches his lips and thinks about the kiss they had shared-sorta-smirking "It tasted refreshing, like a glass of ice cold water on a hot summer day" That was how the Vongola Cloud guardian tasted like, "absolutely perfect…" he said out loud as he licked his lips.
