Dante and Zhalia were on the plane to Sweden which would stop once in Germany. They were sitting next to each other hand in hand, talking about their plans.

"So, do you have anything in mind for when we get back to Venice?" Zhalia asked while playing with his hand.

She was drawing on it things with her nails carefully, not wanting to hurt him. She was playful whenever she was near him and she felt much freer than with anyone else.

"I don't know. I will probably spend all my time with the most beautiful girl in the world" he said in a flirty way, brought her hand to his lips and placed a light kiss on it.

She smiled and blushed a bit when she saw an old lady sitting on the other side and smiling at them. Zhalia turned back to Dante with something cheeky on her mind.

"And who is the lucky lady?" she asked with a light laugh when she saw him stare at her with a questioning look.

"What do you think amore mio?" he asked and kissed her lips gently.

She closed her eyes and kissed him back with the same gentleness. The kiss was a short one, but really sweet and enjoyable. When they parted Zhalia put her head on his shoulder with a smile.

"You two are really lovely" the old lady said with a smile.

She had gray hair, round glasses and a sympathetic smile. All in all, she looked like a grandmother who loved her little grandchildren.

"Thank you" Dante replied with a smile as well.

"I hope you don't mind an old woman being so curious my dear. Are you two in a relationship?" she asked from Zhalia. Zhalia smiled with a slight blush and nodded at her.

"Yes, for around two months now"

"Ah. I wish you a lot of happiness and love my dears" the old lady smiled at them again and then went back to her own business.

"Thank you" both Dante and Zhalia answered at the same moment.

They looked at each other and smiled. Zhalia rested her head on Dante's shoulder while he rested his head on hers.


The plane landed after two hours of flight in Germany. It was planned to take off after an hour, but as always it got delayed because of bad weather, though there wasn't even a cloud on the horizon.

The couple was sitting on the airport waiting to hear better news, but nothing happened yet. Zhalia leaned against Dante while looking around on the airport, obviously nervous.

"You know, I was thinking" she said suddenly.

Dante turned to her to hear what it is about. He was always a good listener when it came to listening to Zhalia.

"This is too easy. I mean, we just have to go to a lake so we could find a titan which didn't even appear. And there are too less information about all this. And what worries me even more, there are no Suits to try to stop us!" she said and shook her head.

She hoped that this wasn't a trap and that they weren't simply walking into it. She hated o just walk into a trap without knowing it. It happened rarely, but the more it nerved her out when it happened.

Dante thought about her words for a moment.

"Hmm, you're right. It is true that no one saw it for now. I suppose that's why is there the big lack of information about the mission" he concluded and tried to calm her down a bit.

"And about the Suits, it's never too late to kick their butt" he smirked a bit.

Zhalia shook her head with a little smile.

"You're talking like Amy" she smiled and nuzzled at his neck.

She just realized how much she missed her friend. She sighed deeply and moved closer to Dante. He hugged her and kissed her behind the ear.

"Don't worry, she's alright. She's a big girl and she can take care of herself" he started to explain with a calm voice.

How many times he and Amy had a fight and he told her that she's still a child and that he has all the right to punish her and yell at her?

Now as he thought back, often she behaved like a child, but in serious situations she was the first from the teens to react and obey Dante's orders. She was thinking quick on her feet and no enemy could find her off guard.

With a smile he admitted to himself that she really was a grown up and he tried to convince himself that she can really take care of herself.

Zhalia thought about his words and finally she nodded her head lightly.

"You're right. She's smart" she smiled and placed a light kiss on his lips.

'The plane for Sweden-Mariestad will take off in an hour. Please all passengers to Sweden-Mariestad go to gate C4. Thank you' came a female voice from the loudspeakers.

"At last" Zhalia said with a little sigh of relief and got up.

Dante stood up too and led her to the gate, holding her around the waist. They got back on the plane, took their seats and the plane took off again.


Slowly the sky darkened and the stars came up. Dante was caressing Zhalia's side while re-reading the details about the mission on his Holotome.

"What do you think how long will we be away? How long will we need to complete this one?" he asked silently so no one would hear him.

Zhalia was really quiet for some time now and by her expression he knew she was thinking about something serious.

"I'm not sure. Maybe a day or two. I wouldn't like to be here for too long" she answered silently as well.

Dante was surprised by her casual answer. He knew how much she loved snow (and there was plenty of it in Sweden) and that she couldn't wait to get a new mission, and now she wanted to go home before they even came to their destination.

"What's wrong? You have that feeling again?" he asked carefully.

With time he learnt that it's always a good idea to listen to her premonitions. When she sensed something bad, it was always better to get ready for it than to be caught off guard.

Zhalia nodded a bit lightly.

When Amy went away a bad feeling started to coil in her, a feeling telling her something bad will happen and that she should be really careful and watch her every step. She thought it's because she didn't want Amy to go away, but that wasn't the reason of her worries after all.

Dante saw the worry on her face, so he caressed it and placed a light kiss on her lips.

She looked at him with surprise and confusion because she wasn't expecting him to do this. He shook his head with a little smile gracing his lips.

"You have a too pretty face to have such an expression on it. It will be all fine, ok?" he started to assure her.

Zhalia almost complained but as she opened her mouth to say something, Dante hushed her by placing his lips on hers.

"Mhhmhm" she complained a bit but didn't do anything to stop him. Dante smiled through the kiss.

"Whatever you say honey… Whatever you say" he muttered not parting from her, and started a soft kiss again.

Zhalia closed her eyes, pulling closer to him, and started to kiss him back. She put her hands on his chest while he wrapped his arms around her waist. They moved their lips slowly in the same rhythm, enjoying it as much as possible.

Dante felt that at first Zhalia was really tensed, but as a few minutes passed she completely relaxed in his arms and let him lead it all. As they were in each other's arms it seemed like time stopped and everything and everyone stood still in these wonderful moments. Zhalia felt so warm and comfortable in Dante's arms that she wished to go on like this for an eternity.

At the beginning of their relationship it was hard for her to kiss him, it felt somehow wrong and unnatural, but now she was kissing him with ease and joy. She simply loved to feel his warm lips on hers, making them move in the pace Dante decided. She obeyed every time no matter when or where, she took his kisses with a smile and often with a silent little moan when he placed them on her neck or collar-bone.

All in all, she enjoyed to follow Dante's lead.

In the other hand, Dante enjoyed to be in charge, to start the kiss and then lead her all the way. It gave him a shiver of excitement to see her face when he suddenly started a kiss out of nowhere and to pull her tight against his hot body.

Now as Zhalia relaxed in his arms he smiled and softly started to bring the kiss to an end.

Zhalia thought the other way; she didn't want to end it yet. She wrapped her arms around Dante's neck and went on kissing him, taking lead of the kiss.

Dante moaned a bit and wanted to deepen the kiss, but Zhalia shook her head a bit and kept her lips closed, disobeying and not granting it to him. He complained with a low growl, but didn't go on trying. When Zhalia didn't want something he didn't even try to make her do it.

If he learnt something, it was that she had really sharp nails and a really nasty habit of pushing them into guys' arms that were stupid enough to try something against her will. He didn't want to risk it and have her nail-marks in his flesh, so he didn't try to make her do it. He simply smiled and enjoyed how she took the lead over the situation.

She enjoyed it too, but soon she lost herself in the heat of his lips and she lost the lead, simply having her lips on his without any motions.

When Dante felt that she stopped, he took back the lead and after a heated kiss full of need he moved his lips away from hers. He looked at Zhalia with a cheeky little smile, feeling good after the kiss.

Zhalia was looking at him with shinny eyes, a smile on her lips and gently gasping for air. She put her hands in her lap and her head against Dante's chest, catching her breath.

Dante laughed lightly when he heard her hurried heartbeat, and placed a light kiss on the top of her head. He pulled her close, hugging her with one hand while he took her hands into his free hand.

Zhalia looked up at him with a satisfied smile, nuzzling at his chest.

'If she would look any cuter, I wouldn't be able to keep my lips away from hers' rushed the thought through Dante's mind.

"Did you enjoy it?" he asked with a lazy smile on his lips.

"Yes, a lot" she answered and kissed his cheek in a sweet way.

She put her head back on his chest and closed her chocolate colored eyes.

She completely forgot about her worries and the bad feeling. She listened to Dante's light breathing and his strong and rhythmical heartbeat until she fell asleep in his arms, feeling the security and comfort she always longed for.
