A/N: Belated Merry Christmas to all of you! Sigh, I hope you guys had a better Christmas than I- mine was spent with horrible relatives criticizing the new school I'm going to. Problem is, I got higher than most of the cousins who criticized me. So who are they to judge me? Plus my parents seemed really keen to compare me to my younger cousin who's apparently better than me in every aspect. That I don't deny, but, still, it really hurts to be compared to a boy since I am a little of a feminist. GAH. Sorry for the ranting! If you guys want to, tell me how was your Christmas! XD This chapter is dedicated to KatoKimeka-chan and ScrewThat for their requests. 3
To ScrewThat: Thanks! I'm glad you thought so! Haha yes you may.
To KatoKimeka-chan: Sure, I'll do both.
To hypertigerchan: Thanks! Hehe, that's another pairing I ship. Sure, I'll do it for chapter 4- ScrewThat and KatoKimeka-chan's requests came first. Gomene!
Kisses to Kiyomi diVongola and hypertigerchan for favouriting my story and hugs to ScrewThat, hypertigerchan and Scarletblood21 for putting my story on alert. Your support means a lot to me.
Disclaimer: I sadly do not own KHR. However the plot of this fanfic is mine! (That's a slight comfort.)
Drabble 2
An Accident
"This is your fault. I can't believe that this is actually happening," grumbled Ciel Cavallone, tugging at the circle of metal around his wrist.
Giotto tried not to laugh as he looked at his Cloud Guardian and fellow Mafia boss. However, the expressions on their faces drove him over the edge. He burst into almost maniacal laughter, chucking hysterically.
"How did you two end up like this?"
FLASHBACk
Ciel Cavallone was having an extremely good day. His men had managed to defeat a minor Mafia family who had been threatening his hometown with little casualties this early morning and that had put his in an exceptionally good mood. Furthermore, his sakura trees in his garden were blossoming well. The flowers looked elegant and beautiful and he could not be any happier.
Then his good day had come crashing down.
While Ciel was admiring his sakuras reverently and quietly, he had suddenly spotted somebody lying under a huge sakura tree, sleeping. The man seemed to be around his age, with platinum blond hair. He was in a dark-purple grey dress shirt with a simple black tie on. He also had a dark grey buttoned trench coat on.
He had to admit, the guy was kind of cute.
However, no matter how cute the guy may be, he was still trespassing. Who did Mr Cute Blonde- the nickname Ciel gave the mystery man in his head- think he was, anyway? Did he not know this was the property of the Cavallone family? It was suicide for the man to try trespassing. How did he get in anyway?
Ciel looked at the stone walls surrounding the garden. He must have climbed up the walls from the other side, but that feat was impossible. Which meant he had went through the mansion's front door. Did the guards not stop him? Or at least warn Ciel there was an infiltrator?
Furious, Ciel spun on his heel to walk towards the front door. Sure enough, the guards were standing there with guilty looks on their faces. "Explain, before I kill you with my whip," he threatened in a low voice.
"The man is the Cloud Guardian from the Vongola Primo's family, Cavallone-sama. He entered our territory an hour ago and instructed us not to inform you of his arrival. He has news from the Vongola Primo," one of the guards stuttered, eyes on the ground as if it was the most interesting thing he had ever seen.
Irritation crawled at Ciel's nerves. The Vongola Primo, Giotto, was a close friend of his, so couldn't Giotto have sent himself instead? By sending a Guardian, it must have meant that Giotto was extremely busy. Well, he better be, or else Ciel would whip him for being so insolent as to send a Guardian in his place.
"Nevertheless, I am your boss, not Giotto or any of his Guardians. No matter what he instructs you, you must always obey and report to me, understood?" Ciel asked them in a deathly tone.
The guards gulped visibly before nodding fervently. "O-of course, Cavallone-sama. I'm sorry!"
Ciel shot them a displeased look before stomping off back to his sakura garden, to where the Cloud Guardian was still sleeping.
"Oi. Cloud Guardian of Vongola. Wake up," snarled Ciel, using his boot to nudge the side of the man none-too-gently.
"I'll bite you to death for waking me up," stated the man as he opened his eyes to look up at the Cavallone Primo. Ciel felt a shock go through him. The Cloud Guardian had icy blue eyes, like frozen lakes or pale sapphires.
"Whatever. Did you have news for me, Cloud?" Ciel questioned, shrugging off the threat.
The blond stood up slowly, stretching a little. "I have a name, herbivore, and it is Alaude. Use it. Stop calling me Cloud."
Ciel suppressed a sigh. This man was seriously weird.
"Fine. Alaude, please hurry and tell me your news so I can admire my sakuras like I was doing before you rudely appeared. Tell Giotto to come himself next time or send a more polite Guardian. Or else he'll be introduced to my whip again," stated Ciel calmly. However, his cerulean blue eyes narrowed slightly with the threat.
He saw Alaude's shoulder stiffen slightly. That was good. That would mean that despite Alaude's seemingly cold personality, he still cared for his boss and would protect him.
Ciel fought down a smile. Looks like Giotto is well-protected, he mused to himself.
"I will not hesitate to bite you if you dare attack my family," Alaude said, his face just as unreadable as Ciel's.
"That's strange. Aren't Cloud Guardians supposed to be cold-hearted, self-centered bastards in general?" Ciel questioned, a smile playing on his lips.
"I do not deny that. I am a cold-hearted, self-centered bastard, and if you piss me off, you'll regret it," replied the Skylark, taking out his handcuffs.
"We are digressing. Did you have news for me from Giotto?" Ciel asked.
Alaude nodded. "He says that he suspects the Irabella family was the idiots who attacked Lampo, leaving him gravely injured. He's planning to confront the Irabella family next week and expects you to be there. It might turn into a fight, so he needs help since Lampo's still injured and G is on a mission in China."
Ciel was silent as he processed the information. "Very well. Tell him I won't be there. You can leave now," he said, waving his hand dismissively.
The Skylark stiffened. "Why aren't you going to help Giotto? Aren't you close friends?"
Ciel smiled at the blond. "I'm afraid that is for me to know and you to not ask about. Leave."
In an instant, Alaude had his handcuffs out and he waved them in Ciel's direction. "You have to help. Giotto needs all the help he can get."
"So I won't suggest fighting me. If you anger me further, I'll help the Irabella family," warned Ciel as he took out his whip.
"If I win this fight, you'll help Giotto. If I lose, I won't bother you anymore," suggested Alaude.
"Deal."
Leather met steel with a loud noise as Ciel and Alaude fought.
Ciel was striking at Alaude with surprising speed, and Alaude blocked all of the attacks with equal agility. He tried to handcuff the brunet, but the brunet offered him no openings, often spinning and twisting out of his range when the handcuffs came too close to his wrists for comfort.
The fight continued for a while before Ciel brandished his whip and the leather wound itself tightly around Alaude's waist. With a sharp tug, Alaude was brought close to Ciel.
In a last-ditch attempt, Alaude flung the handcuffs out and the steel circle attached itself to one of Ciel's wrist. Ciel instantly swung the other open circle towards Alaude, and the handcuff trapped Alaude's wrist too, putting the two in an interesting position.
One side of the handcuff was shackled on Alaude's wrist with the other side on Ciel's.
Ciel immediately unwound his whip. "You idiot! Now we are both shackled together! Set me free this instant!" he demanded, tugging at the unyielding handcuff.
"I'm working on it!" Alaude said through gritted teeth. However, no matter how he tried, he could not get the handcuffs off.
"Why can't you get them off?" demanded Ciel, panicking. "Can we use a knife or something?"
"No way, these are my handcuffs, I'm not spoiling them. There should be a key on me somewhere to unlock these…" muttered ALaude, using his only free hand to search through his pockets. He groaned. "I forgot! I fought with G a few days ago; he must have stolen the keys off me then. No wonder that bastard looked too happy after getting his ass kicked."
Ciel Cavallone lost his cool.
"WHAT? DO YOU MEAN WE"LL BE STUCK LIKE TRHIS UNTIL G COMES BACK FROM CHINA? HE'S ONLY COMING BACK NEXT MONTH!" yelled Ciel, grabbing Alaude's shoulders and shaking them forcefully.
However, Alaude pushed him back, momentarily forgetting they were connected by his own weapons. By the time he remembered, Ciel was sprawled face-up on the ground with Alaude on top of him.
"Ittai! Get off!" Ciel yelled.
Alaude struggled to get up, his elbow digging Ciel's side. "Stop that, I'm ticklish!" complained Ciel, suppressing giggles. Alaude rolled his eyes. A Mafia boss, ticklish?
After a while, both managed to get up. "I suggest we go see Giotto. He has the spare keys to the handcuffs."
FLASHBACK ENDS
Giotto burst into laughter once more at the story. "You guys are hilarious!" he chortled merrily, tears coming out of his eyes. Dark shadows covered Ciel's and Alaude's faces as they glared down at the Vongola Primo. Ciel even withdrew his whip, their dark killing intent making Giotto stop laughing immediately. He coughed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry guys but the last time I had the keys, they were in a different suit. I left the keys in the pocket there. The earliest the maids can send my clothes over from their houses is by tomorrow morning."
There was a silence.
And then loud yells were heard from the Vongola Primo's office, punctuated by the sound of leather hitting against skin.
"Now what do we do?" grumbled Ciel as he lounged on the sofa, dragging Alaude down with him. "Gomen! I'm still not used to this!"
Alaude shot him a glare as he got up from the floor. "I guess we have no choice but try not to kill ourselves while being in each other's presence."
Ciel laughed, "Maa, maa, Alaude, don't be so mean."
Ciel was actually not as scary as he seemed after you got to know him. In fact he was a bit of an airhead, in Alaude's opinion.
"I'm hungry, let's go eat," said Alaude, getting up and yanking Ciel in the process. He dragged the brunet to the dining room.
"Hey, Alaude, I know you're not used to having an extra body to drag around, but can't you be gentler?" complained Ciel as Alaude sat down, almost forcing Ciel to trip.
"I am used to it, herbivore. Just shut up and let me have my fun," instructed Alaude, a sinister look passing over his handsome features.
"…ALAUDE!"
"Shut up. This is hard, I can't eat with one hand," mused Alaude. "At this rate, I won't be able to eat my steak."
"Too bad. This is your fault, after all."
"Herbivore, use your free hand to hold down the meat with a fork while I use the knife to cut the steak," ordered Alaude. Ciel grudgingly obliged and then speared the small picec of meat Alaude had cut off with his fork before popping it into his own mouth.
"Herbivore."
A few seconds later, Ciel was found screaming as he tried running from Alaude, who was chasing him with a knife.
***PRIMOCAVALLONEALAUDE***
"How on earth do we bathe?" wondered Ciel as the two of them walked back to their room after the lunch fiasco. Ciel was now sporting new cuts and bruises.
Alaude slowed down a little as he considered the question. "We'll just use the bathtub, it's really big anyway. It'll be like using a hot tub," he finally said.
Ciel blinked. "That's just weird."
A few minutes later, a blushing Ciel was in the tub with Alaude, trying to hide his blush from the Skylark.
"Pass me the shampoo, herbivore," ordered Alaude. Ciel reached forward, trying to grab the shampoo that was just inches from his grasp. He tried inching forward, but Alaude stood firm, so he could not move much.
Ciel rolled his eyes. How did Alaude expect him to get the stupid shampoo when he did not even allow Ciel to move? With a tug, Ciel managed to pull Alaude and he instantly sparng forward to grab the shampoo bottle. He turned around, holding it high in the air like the trophy, only to shriek in surprise as he saw Alaude falling towards him, a result of Ciel's hard yank on the handcuffs.
With a loud splash, Ciel was trapped to the other side of the bathtub by Alaude's body. The Skylark's body pressed right up against Ciel's, eliciting a blush from him.
"Herbivore."
Fearing for his death, Ciel glanced up at the man, only to see the man's eyes darkening with desire.
***PRIMOCAVALLONEALAUDE***
"Sleep, herbivore."
Ciel bit his lip as he stared at the dark grey and purple bed. It seemed so intimidating.
He lay on the bed, Alaude following suit a moment later. He turned off the lights and drew the blanket around them both.
A few awkward minutes passed. Ciel felt his cheeks redden again as he thought of what had happened in the bathroom.
"Herbivore."
An arm reached out to hook itself around his waist, and the handcuffed one grabbed his own shackled one.
"Alaude?"
"Ciel."
"That's the first time you've said my name."
"….Kiss me, Ciel."
***PRIMOCAVALLONEALAUDE***
The next morning, Giotto ran into Alaude's room, ridiculously happy. The key was finally delivered!
"Let me put you out of your misery!" he announced, whipping back the blankets to reveal two naked, sleeping bodies underneath.
And Giotto was stunned into silence at what he saw.
A/N: So how was it? Do you guys like it? What's your opinion? Tell me in a comment! This was slightly longer than the previous one (I think) so I hope I didn't make too many mistakes… this is unBetaed after all.
Ok so there are some things to note- I don't think Primo Cavallone was in the anime or manga (I haven't finished the manga though) so I'm sorry if he's not up to your expectations… If you guys want me to do another Primo Cavallone x Alaude, just tell me in a review and state what kind of personality you want him to have and stuff.
Also, I hope you don't mind that his name is Ciel. It's just that "ciel'' means sky in French so I thought it would be sort of fitting…
Drabble 3 will be 6918 as per KatoKimeka-chan's request and Drabble 4 will be YamGoku as per hypertigerchan's request. So just state what other pairings you want and stuff! And your thoughts on this chap.
The summary of this story will change a little since it's turning into a collection of drabbles.
Ciao!
Love, Cinnamon Kelly
