The Italian night was young, young bloods were living they're well deserved lives. Students, employees, individuals of old. Some spent with their families, others spent with their friends. There were lovers, acquaintances, long-lasting friendships.

Across the way in another city, a festival was held. Rides, games, activities to be played. There might be some reason said festival was being held, but for the Vongola Famiglia it was just another reason to be outside that night.

The fun loving atmosphere was thick and high as bright colored lights filled the sky. It was loud, music blaring through whatever speakers were set; different people of age were walking or running around, the smell of food could tickle your senses as it filled the air.

The Vongola family split into groups; Tsuna was with his guardians minus Lambo, who was being taken care of with I-Pin by Nana; and the girls along with Bianchi were together, possibly playing the games and taking in more sights. They rode a few rides, but to Tsuna's extent not a lot of them. Currently they walked through the crowd, lucky enough to find a pathway clear for them to walk through.

Suddenly, Tsuna felt something hard hit his face, he could have fallen backward hadn't Gokudera caught him in time.

"Juudaime," Gokudera said, voice with concern. "Are you okay?"
"I-I'm okay." Tsuna said as Gokudera helped him stand right up again. Tsuna looked up, terrified at what...whom he say. "HIIIEEE! W-What are you guys doing here!"

There standing before him were the Varia guardians, the second in command, the self proclaimed "mother" of the family, the prince, the one that acted as Xanxus' body guard, and the new illusionist Fran, who had been appointed the new mist guardian after the Arcobaleno curse had been relieved. Everyone, besides Tsuna and Yamamoto started an uproar. It was quite easy for the two separate groups to cause a scene, they were totally different from each other.

"Why are you guys here?" Gokudera exclaimed. "Can't we have one day of peace?"
"You can relax is all," Fran said, same blank face and monotone voice. "We came to retrieve a present for the boss."
"A present?" Tsuna repeated in confusion. "What would Xanxus want in the fair?"
"Not what, peasant," Belphegor insulted. "Who."
"You," Squalo said, his sword pointing towards Yamamoto. "Baseball brat, come with us."
"If you want to take Yamamoto you'll have to go through me." Ryohei growled, stepping in front of Yamamoto.
"Awe, Squ - chan," Lussuria cooed. "The Sun Guardian is jealous I might ask?"
"Tch," Squalo clicked. "No matter brats, we weren't asking."

Suddenly Yamamoto felt slender arms wrapping around his waist from behind him. He turned his head to see the culprit, but all he could see were big blue eyes on top of a frog hood.

"What the hell!" Gokudera exclaimed, everyone in shock to see Fran holding Yamamoto by the waist.
"F-Fran!" Tsuna said. "When did you..."

Just then, both erupted into smoke with a poof. Everyone closed their eyes, the smoke stinging their eyes as they coughed and wheezed.

"Fucking hell," Gokudera coughed. "Juudaime, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Tsuna said.

They waved their hands in front of their faces as the smoke cleared. They gasped as the spot where Fran and Yamamoto stood was empty; he had taken their rain guardian. Not only that, as they turned the other Varia members were gone as well.

"Shit," Ryohei muttered, bandaged fists tight in a ball.

With a poof, there was a puff of smoke that appeared out of nowhere like magic. As the cloud blew away in the light wind, Yamamoto was back on his feet, however his knees bent with a hand laid on a tree trunk to keep balance as he coughed and shut his eyes. As soon as he could breathe again, he wiped tears from his stinging eyes and slowly opened them to see where he was.

He looked around, he was in a forest isolated from the festival and city. Though the music produced by the festival could be heard but only slightly. He squinted, he could see a clearing through the trees and decided to make his way there. The closer he got, the louder the music got and more clearly he could see the colored lights glowing. Pink became blue, then green, yellow, and so on.

Prior to that, he swore he could see someone standing there in the clearing. When he finally got through the trees, he was shocked to see who was sitting there near the cliff whilst looking out at the festival and the city.

"Xanxus..." Yamamoto whispered. Yamamoto started to walk towards him as Xanxus turned his head slightly to see the baseball enthusiast standing there with a shocked look on his face.
"Yamamoto," Xanxus muttered. He turned his head around, eyes back to the scenery.
"Squalo said...you wanted to see me."
"Sit."

He hesitated, but he began to sat down next to Xanxus until said person told him to sit in front of him between his legs. Yamamoto blushed as Xanxus began to uncross his legs while he moved in front of him. Yamamoto knew Xanxus was tall, but he never got a good look at his legs until now, now that technically Yamamoto was sitting in between them.

His heart fluttered as he felt Xanxus' arm snake around his waist. With his arm around the shorter one, Xanxus pulled him backwards while he leaned back on his other hand, Yamamoto's back pressing against his chest making the other one turn an even deeper, darker shade of red. Yamamoto could feel Xanxus cheek brushing against his temple.

With no thought, Yamamoto brought a hand up and placed it over the hand that hald him by the waist, holding it as he felt the warm skin.

"Xanxus," Yamamoto spoke after moments of silence. "I...I have to ask, why did you want to see me?"

He waited for a few moments for an answer, but after a few seconds of silence he started to regret the question. He bit his lip, he should have kept his mouth shut tight.

"I was beginning to ask myself that question too." Xanxus said. "Why...why did I suddenly want to see you...especially it's only been since yesterday that I've seen you? You...you interest me."

Yamamoto's eyes went wide at his answer...Yamamoto interests him; how could it be possible? But it was the same question Xanxus asked in his head all the time since he discovered thinking about the boy since the sky ring battle. The first time he saw him; oblivious to battle but determined to get the job done. Since then he hasn't been able to rid the young one from his mind. Well, it came and went occasionally, but lately he's been on Xanxus' mind night and day.

Yamamoto closed his eyes, finally relaxing his body against Xanxus'. He felt something beating against his back; it wasn't a fast rate beat, it seemed quite normal. It was Xanxus' heart. It was a privilege to hear something like this from Xanxus, he gave off quite a cold and bitter shell that something like a heartbeat could even exist him. So Yamamoto took advantage of the rare opportunity and listened to the beat like music. It didn't take long for Yamamoto's heart to beat along with Xanxus'. It was like they were creating a symphony together, their hearts beating one after the other like a musical composition.

Yamamoto shuddered as he felt Xanxus kiss the top of his ear lightly. Xanxus moved down to the joint of his jawline, placing warm and tantalizing kisses while Yamamoto exhaled in bliss. Xanxus brought the hand that held Yamamoto by the waist and used it to turn Yamamoto's head around, making the younger look him in the eye.

They didn't wait, right away their lips met together. The position Yamamoto was in was quite uncomfortable, he shifted his lower body, turning it sideways so he could kiss Xanxus properly. Yamamoto was so lost in the kiss that he didn't realize that Xanxus had started to unzip his track jacket, revealing tanned, sensitive skin. Xanxus moved the hand that touched Yamamoto's face and placed it on his back, pulling him more into his lap, while bringing the other one to touch the skin of Yamamoto's neck.

They pulled away; brown eyes looking up at red ones, the warm touch of long man fingers touch his skin making him quiver. Xanxus bent down, attacking the neck once again. When lips and tongue made contact with the already bruised skin, an uncontroled moan lightly escaped his lips. This made Xanxus smirk as he then kissed Yamamoto's adam's apple.

Xanxus moved the hand that held Yamamoto's back to the back of of Yamamoto's neck, making said teenager's head move backward more which have Xanxus more of a canvas to place the bruises.

"Xa...Xanxus," Yamamoto moaned. Incoherent sounds and whimpers came from Yamamoto, it sent a sensation through Xanxus.
"Say it again," Xanxus said in between *osculations upon Yamamoto's neck. "Say it."

His hand slipped underneath Yamamoto's shirt, caressing the soft skin. Fingers brushing over his naval and grazing his abdomens. He rolled a pert nipple in between his index and middle finger, just enough to make Yamamoto gasp. His whispered his name again, and again as he continued the motion while continuing to ravage his neck.

"Don't ever hide these again," Xanxus warned, moving away from the neck and moving his hand from underneath the shirt to feather over the injuries of arousal again. "They're not just hicky's, they're a message that you've found someone better, someone you deserve. Understand?"

Xanxus felt triumphant as Yamamoto nodded with no hesitation. Suddenly, loud pops and bursts of colors filled the sky as the festival fireworks show began to start, but neither of them paid no mind. Xanxus took a moment to look over the boy in his arms; cheeks red from blushing, eyes glistening, he could see the fireworks reflecting from the sides of those brown eyes. Yamamoto was shaking in his arms, his breathing was completely out of order as he tried to calm and steady his loudly beating heart. He couldn't tell if the beating sound in his ears were from that, or the fireworks show.

Yamamoto took the opportune moment to take in the picture in front of him as well; Xanxus seemed different. The look of destruction was unreadable in his red eyes, it was something Yamamoto couldn't tell. He gulped, his heart was throbbing the more he looked up at Xanxus.

He shut his eyes and bought his arms up, not to cover his face in embarrassment however; he wrapped slender arms around Xanxus' neck and pulled him downward, burying his face in Xanxus' dress shirt. The sudden movement caught Xanxus by shock, but he complied wrapping his arms tightly around him.

He waited and listened, was he crying? No, his breathing was very calm this time. He felt the beat of Yamamoto's heart against his chest; he could tell this because it was beating erratically compared to his.

It felt right to have Yamamoto in his arms. Yamamoto turned his head to the side so he can breathe, and he smiled as he continued to hold Xanxus.

For once, he didn't feel embarrassed.

Xanxus returned Yamamoto to the Vongola mansion, and to his dismay everyone had returned as well. Everyone was rambling, shocked to see Yamamoto's jacket unzipped, purple marks out in the open. Everyone questioned, and Yamamoto replied diligently and confidently that he had seen Xanxus. There was a miscommunication that Xanxus had taken advantage of him, it made Yamamoto laugh but he calmly set everything straight, hugging the lion doll that was in his arms. After his "meeting" with Xanxus, he had taken him around the festival and won the lion for him.

He now laid in bed, laying on his side and lion doll under the covers with him as he wrapped his arms around it. He closed his eyes, just imagining the doll in his arms was Xanxus himself.

His eyes shot open, for he suddenly heard a clinking noise at his window. He got out from under covers and walked over to the two door window and saw the very same person he currently thought of ontop a tree branch.

"Xanxus," Yamamoto whispered loud enough for him to hear as he opened the window. "What are you doing? C-Come inside."

He stepped aside, making room for Xanxus whom jumped from the tree branch and landed inside the room with ease.

"Yamamoto," Xanxus said, standing up straight. "I want to sleep with you."
"Wh-What?" Yamamoto said, the blunt offer catching him off guard. "Don't...don't you think...It-It's a little soon?"
"What? No, not like that! I meant..."

In a flash, Xanxus had pulled Yamamoto into a hug, burying his nose into Yamamoto's hair.

"I want you in my arms while I'm falling asleep. I just want to hold you tonight."

Yamamoto was shocked, but very much relieved. Still, it didn't halter his quaking heart at his words. He sighed, he too wanted to hold Xanxus as well, why else had he clutched the lion doll for dear life before Xanxus had shown up.

When be whispered his okay, Xanxus pulled away and grabbed Yamamoto's hand in his and led him to the bed, finally laying with him like he wanted.

They laid on their sides facing each other, the shorter one only being able to reach Xanxus' chest. Their legs were tangled in the sheets as Xanxus pulled Yamamoto into his chest. He nuzzled his nose into Yamamoto's hair, smelling the clean scent while Yamamoto had taken in the full scent of Xanxus. Each one was like warm milk to them, it soothed them and placed them at ease.

"Xanxus," Yamamoto said grasping the man's attention. "Will you be here when I wake up?"

Xanxus cupped his face and looked down, eyes connecting with one another. He leaned down, kissing the boy for the last time that night. When he pulled away, he pulled him back in his arms.

Before falling asleep, he muttered a final word to Yamamoto so he could sleep with a clear mind.

"Always."

*Osculations - Another term for kiss.

God I feel like such a sap for writing this but I wanted to make Xanxus / Yamamoto to appear cute and sweet. Xanxus is a little OOC of course, I wanted him to give off an affectionate vibe.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed! Please review!
