Sorry everyone that this story is on hiatus for so long, i lost all chapters and was just to lazy to make new ones. Well, until now, so please enjoy!


Cavallone started laughing again. Biting his lip again when Alaude covered his eyes, "are you sure you don't know?" Cavallone had to rely on his other senses, to hear and feeling the cloud guardian on top of him, he could also hear his heart beating faster. Feeling Alaude's nose, the primo tilted his head and brushed lips against the other, "then, what are you doing?"

He takes the chance and kisses Cavallone, pulling away after a bit. "That," Alaude finally answers, rolling off of the man to get off of the bed. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get ready for bed." Leaving Cavallone still handcuffed and blindfolded, he walks over to the closet, looking through and then pulling out a nightshirt and pants. He starts changing, seeing as how the only other person in the room is unable to see at the moment and goes into the bathroom to do the rest of his business. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, surprisingly satisfied by what he's done so far.

The kiss felt good and fiery, so Cavallone was disappointed when it only lasted a little while. The weight from the bed lifted, and he could hear footsteps, that's when the primo really started to panic, "Alaude? You're not going to leave me here are you? Like this?" he let out a nervous laugh. It was only when he heared the bathroom door closed when he finally realized why Alaude chained him up. The primo started to kick the air "WHAA! ALAUDE! I WANT MORE, COME BACK!" Cavallone started to yell and throw a fit like a child. Alaude had tricked him, if he wanted to, he could probably get out of the handcuffs easily, but he wanted to see what Alaude would do next, so he started to wait…or tried to wait.

Once exiting the bathroom, Alaude shakes his head, possessing now a sly grin as he sits on the opposite side of the bed. Now the question is, should he continue being a troll, or be nice and play with Cavallone Primo~ He shifts over, sitting right next to the man, not doing a thing. Nope, not a thing at all.

That is, until he asks Cavallone, "Now, should I keep you like this for the rest of the night? Or…" Rather than being the one who's being toyed, he's now the one who toys. A wonderful change of roles, at least for Alaude.

Hearing the bathroom door open, weight on the bed moving towards him, yet nothing happened…the suspense was killing! "Honestly I don't really want to stay like this the rest of the night…or?" the smile reappeared on his face. "Did you have another idea?" more silence…was he thinking? "Alaude say something…I'm scared."

He rolls his eyes and reaches over to take the blindfold, or his tie, off of Cavallone's eyes. "Is that better?" He couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of such a strong person look so frightened. Truly an amusing sight, but that's his sadism talking. "Hm, you scared? Rather amusing if I do say so myself~"

"I'm very glad that I amuse you because sometimes I wonder if you find my jokes funny or not." the humorous tone returning to his voice. "If I admit that I'm scared, well you hold me?~ Besides you didn't tell me what the other option was!" Cavallone returns to pouting.

Alaude chuckles once more, rolling his eyes as he does so. "That depends, are you scared?" If so, then… oh well. He crosses his arms, debating on whether he should uncuff Cavallone or keep him like this until next morning. Well this was going to be interesting. Sure he did sleep with the man prior, but that was only for a few hours, but for an entire night? …okay then.

Cavllone coughs a little before answering "well I wouldn't say that I was scared, but I was frightened when you handcuffed and blindfolded me, I actually thought for a moment that you were going to leave me like that." Cavallone hesitated before continuing. "So are you going to let me go?"

"Hm, perhaps I should have, just for 'laughs~'" Deciding to be nice after all, he goes to free Cavallone from the handcuffs, placing his trusty weapon nearby where he can gain quick access should there be something like a midnight attack. In the mafia, you can never be too careful, not even for the slightest bit. He relaxes, placing his hands on his stomach as he tries to situate himself in these new clothes. They were a little on the large side, being a bit smaller than Cavallone, but he manages… somehow.

Cavallone let out a sigh, finally, he sat back up and rubbed his wrists. That was one dangerous situation, Cavallone wasn't used to be powerless like that. He also noticed the clothes that Alaude was wearing, they were his clothes! Seeing the guardian in clothes like that made him mushy inside. "Alaude! You look so adorable!" Cavallone practically screamed as he tackled the guardian into a pile of pillows. Rubbing his cheek against the cloud's head.

Taken completely off guard, he gets tackled into the soft pillows, quite literally being smothered to death. Doing what he does best, Alaude attempts to kick Cavallone away, unable to breathe. "Cavallone! Get… off of me!" He growls threateningly, "I am not adorable!"

Cavallone loosened his grip and threw a few pillows off the bed. "Tell me cloud~ my adorable, fluffy, cloud~ Why do you act so distant from me when we're alone together?" he asked while he kissed Alaude's cheek repeatedly.

Alaude looks over to the side, once more facing away from Cavallone as he answers, breathing heavily as his chest rises up and down with each breath. "Because that is the nature of the cloud." Right, sure, just use that as your excuse. He allows the man to do as he wishes, too tired and too sleepy now to do anything about it. He could never admit that he actually enjoyed the small gestures of affection, it would be too damaging for his little pride. A petty reason, but it was good enough for the cloud guardian.

"You look tired," Cavallone would not except the nature of the cloud, he would change it, tomorrow. Even he was tired. He pulled the covers onto them and snuggled into Alaude. Looking up Cavallone noticed the bite mark he had left from before was starting bruise. It was turning into a love bite, he let out a small laugh, Alaude was going to freak out in the morning.

"Hm, maybe I am." His arms instinctively wrap themselves around Cavallone, bringing the man closer. Catching the small laughter, Alaude looks down and asks, "What's so funny?" Clearly, he doesn't realize the bruise despite knowing that the man bit him. His eyelids grow heavy as he yawns, hiding his face against the soft, black hair. It felt… strangely nice, lying down, having someone cuddling against him. Strange, as he never experienced something like this, but it was still… nice. He sighs contently, now fully closing his eyes to go to sleep.

Cavallone hadn't felt this much warmth in a long time, as Alaude wraped his arms around him. It felt nice. "Oh~ nothing, sweet dreams" The guardian will find out in the morning. As his eyes began to grow heavier, Cavallone didn't want to sleep, he wanted to savour the moment with Alaude. Unfortunately his body wouldn't listen to his heart, as he fell asleep, next to his loved one.

Waking up the next morning, the lights of a brand new morning awakens Alaude, causing him to survey his surroundings, a bit confused as to where he was. Then, he remembers events from yesterday. Right… he looks down to confirm his suspicions and sighs, seeing the still sleeping Cavallone next to him. Attempting to slip out of the hold, he gets out of bed and goes to the bathroom, starting off with a morning shower.

~*~*Timeskiparoo~*~*

For once, he actually slept rather well, not seeing a sign of tiredness on his face in the mirror. Normally, he would end up seeing small bags or signs of weariness, but now… Not a single trace. A small, content smirk forms as he goes about his morning business like normal.

Cavallone turned in his bed, something felt off. The primo was used to sleeping alone, so then why did something or someone feel missing Extending his arm and feeling around the bed he remembers that Alaude was supposed to be there, but wasn't. "Alaude?" he asked as he sat up, there was no response but he did hear the shower running. "I wonder if he noticed the bite mark?" thinking out loud.

He floped back onto his bed, he felt really rested, and not weak at all. But he was hungry, he got up, opened the window and changed into fresh clothes. He only left the room momentarily before returning with a tray of food.

Once done with showering, Alaude goes to get dressed, but his eyes stray up to look at the mirror to see a strange mark on his neck. "What the…" Realizing where it came from, his eyes widen, irritation rising up to dangerous levels as he bursts out of the bathroom, dressed only in his pants.

"Cavallone…," Alaude growls angrily, fists balled up tightly and small hints of cloud flames emanating from him dangerously. "What the hell did you do to my neck?!" It was clear that he was annoyed, oh so very annoyed.

Cavallone jumped at Alaude exiting the bathroom, almost dropping the piece of bread he had in his mouth. "mifs ne ney…" he took out the bread and swallowed what was in his mouth. "Some people call it a love bite, though I wasn't trying to give you one."

He walked over to the guardian and trailed his finger down Alaude's neck, taking very good note that the cloud was shirtless. "Seems like I marked you; now everyone will know you belong to me." Cavallone smiled his evil smile.

A love bite… WAIT. He takes a step back, "You gave me a HICKEY?!" Ohhhh boy, was he pissed now. Face turning once more red, Alaude glares angrily at Cavallone, baring his fangs like an enraged beast, smacking the man's hand away from him. "You… you… you!" Words fail to come out as he stammers, still glaring at the other with a rage like no other. He wasn't supposed to be someone's territory; rather, he should be the one taking others as part of his territory.

Eventually, reason returns to him as Alaude calms down, taking deep breaths, although anger was still apparent from the scowl crossing his lips. "Tch, how annoying." He puts on the shirt that was in his hand and pops up the collar, just barely hiding the annoying little mark, grumbling incoherent phrases.

"Oh my gosh calm down. Like I said before I didn't mean to!" Smiling and putting his hands up in a surrendering pose. "I mean really, should you be surprised that I gave you a hickey? Even after all the things I've done so far." referring to the past intimate experiences between the two. Cavallone starts to laugh a little, "all my servants refer to you as my lover." blurting it out between laughs.

Leaning a little closer Cavallone pulls his collar down, "if you feel bad about it, you can give me one." adding a little wink at the end. He knew that Alaude had almost like an alpha male personality, he was sure that the cloud didn't like being 'marked'.

L-L-Lover?! He bites down on his lower lip and looks away, unable to see Cavallone. Oh how far Alaude has fallen, reduced to this sort of sorry state as he is even unable to look at someone straight in the eye anymore and his pride assimilating into nothing.

He places his fist against his chest, clenching it tightly as he shakes his head, "I don't feel bad about it, but if you do insist…" Alaude leans up and bites down hard on Cavallone's neck, most definitely drawing blood. The scent of blood was all too intoxicating for the cloud guardian as he in an almost hungry manner, laps up the liquid, savouring the metallic-like taste.

Cavallone winced, feeling the teeth dig into him and Alaude's lips on the surface, was absolutely amazing. He could feel his blood exiting his body, and Alaude's breathing brushing against his neck. He put his hands on the guardians hips and pulled him closer making the bite more comfortable. Cavallone chuckled, Alaude was 'marking' him, "if you are hungry, I think the breakfast I have may be more appetizing than my blood."

He pulls away, licking his lips that were tinted with the red hues of the blood. It wasn't like he really lapped up all that much, but it was enough that would more than enough satisfy the cloud guardian. Alongside the metallic taste, Alaude found that Cavallone's blood had a taste strangely like that of honey, but that was probably all in his head, no matter how sweet tasting it seemed to be. Well, this certainly isn't helping him in denying the fact that he just might be a vampire… or someone with vampire-like tendencies, resulting in others thinking that he might actually be one.

"Hn, if you say so." Actually, he is pretty darn starving, having eaten nothing since the lunch from yesterday and the aroma of the food only made things even worse.

Cavallone put his hand on his neck, feeling the bite mark. It didn't seem that big, and his hair should cover most of it but it was definitely going to bruise. He let out a sigh, Alaude wasn't helping his situation with red lips. The primo bent down and licked the excess blood from the guardians lips, it actually didn't taste that bad.

"I have fruits, bread, eggs, juice and coffee, of course." He held Alaude's hand and led him to a small table with a flower centre piece. Cavallone felt proud, he had arranged the table himself while Alaude was in the bathroom. Usually he had breakfast in the large dinning area, but today he thought they would have it in his room. He highly doubted that Alaude would be comfortable in his house with a hickey on his neck. "Is this okay?"

His breathing hitched, once more feeling lips planted on top of his, licking away the blood left behind. Being led to a small table, Alaude couldn't help but roll his eyes with an evident smirk on his face. This man just had to make things look so nice that Alaude would feel overly flattered that someone would do such a thing for him. "It is fine." No, it's more than fine, it's simply amazing what with having so much food for even a hungry stomach like Alaude's to get full and have more left over.

Like a gentleman Cavallone pulled out a chair for Alaude to sit. The primo sat down across from him and once again waited for Alaude to take the first bite, Alaude kept eating without complain so Cavallone started to eat as well. He had the food tested before each meal to make sure that it wasn't tainted with anything. He would be angry if he got sick again, but he would slaughter everyone in sight if Alaude got sick as well.

As usual, the food tasted great like always, eggs not at all runny, fruit tasting just as if they were fresh picked from the source, it was all delicious and not at all poisoned. After getting his fill, finishing off with a sip of his coffee before settling the cup in front of him, Alaude fold his hands on his lap, looking up and waiting for Cavallone to be finished. The two of them more or less ate in silence, an awkward brand of silence no less. However, what was really there to talk about? He always expected a happy person like Cavallone would be bouncing off the walls, starting off with some sort of icebreaker to break the silence. Well, guess not all people match up to their flames…

Finishing his breakfast shortly after Alaude, Cavallone finishes his juice before starting his coffee. His mind was filled with things he had to catch up on. Most of it being paper work, god did he HATE paperwork.

Noticing that Alaude had finished his eating as well he thought it would be a good time to bring up some conversation. "I hear a lot of good things about you from Giotto," he wasn't sure why he said that but it was true, the Vongola primo found Alaude to be very trust worthy. "Alaude, what do you like to do for fun?" Everyone liked to do fun things, he wanted to know more about Alaude as well and what he like to do in his spare time.

Ice blue eyes trail upwards to stare directly at Cavallone in curiosity as to why the other suddenly spoke of Primo. Hmph, that man… While he didn't hate the Vongola boss at all, just the fact that the man always decides to clump him together with the other guardians, or as Alaude would prefer to call them, 'weaklings that can only stand strong with the support of other weaklings.' A crude term, yes, but this is Alaude that we're talking about. "Really now? And what sorts of 'good things' did he have to say about me?" While he knows how much the Primo trusts him and acknowledges his strength, he could never think just what could have possibly spurred that kind of trust.

Now, what did he actually like to do for 'fun?' It's been so long since anyone even dared to ask him such trivial things that the cloud was almost at a loss as to what to say. Thankfully, words manage to voice out into audible sounds as he answers, "While I don't have time to do anything 'fun' nowadays, I used to lounge around and read, or…" He pauses, almost hesitant in continuing, "…play violin and/or piano."

As a child of a well-to-do family, the cloud guardian was taught in a variety of fields, one of which was to be able to play music. He first took up piano as a child, but then started learning violin after hearing a talented musician play one. The sound was entrancing for his then young mind, spurring a desire to play just like that musician and so, he did. Of course, that is to say that Alaude wasn't the best player in the world, but eventually, he became a more than adequate player, able to play songs such as Monteverdi's Damiglella Tutta Bella and so much more. However, it's been forever since he last touched his violin and piano and he fears that perhaps his skills might have become rusty over time.

Cavallone rubbed the back of his neck, trying to remember conversations between Giotto and him. "You know, stuff like you're trustworthy and very good at what you do. You also help the other guardians a lot, even if you don't like too." A smile appeared on the primo's face, there was no way that he would tell Alaude that he was the one that started the conversation about him to the Vongola boss. Besides he was only asking in curiosity.

Reading was somewhat suspected to be Alaude down time, but when Cavallone heard about music, his face brightened. "You play the pion and violin!" Alaude why didn't you tell me before!" Well I guess he sort of answered his own question, nobody ever asked Alaude if he did. Cavallone became intrigued with Alaude's music playing abilities.

It was a customary to know how to play at least one instrument when growing up in a noble family. But Cavallone was never able to find that one, the one that he could actually enjoy to play. But he did look up to those who could play, especially players of the violin.

He didn't expect such an enthusiastic reaction from Cavallone, but in a way, he was almost… happy that he did. Perhaps now he can find some incentive to actually play music once more. "What? Of course I can play a musical instrument. If you want… I could always," Alaude turns pink, fixing his tie out of habit and whispers while looking down at his lap, "play for you." Other than his family, the cloud guardian really never played anywhere outside of his home, not interested in garnering any sort of attention to himself. The songs that he used to play for his family begin to play in his mind like a record. Oh the fond memories… but they're all gone so there's really no point in reliving them anymore now is there?

A somber look forms the more and more those once blissful childhood memories play in his mind, his heart wrenching in pain. He shakes away the thoughts and looks up again at Cavallone, almost nearly smiling. He wonders if the man would even like his playing, but being the nice guy that he is, the mafia boss would probably say something along the lines of 'wow, that was amazing!' Hmph, oh well.

Cavallone was practically jumping in his seat. "Really! Will you please play for me one day?" He was so excited, like a child opening presents on his birthday. Not only did he really want to hear Alaude play, but the guardian himself had offered.

He smirks, bemused by the other's childish excitement as he nods, "My skills are getting rusty anyways so might as well let you listen." It was going to be strange, having someone listen to him play after who knows how long. Strangely, Allude was not at al deterred by the thought. Perhaps Cavallone actually did evoke some sort of change inside of Alaude. Perhaps being the key word that is.

"Well then its a date!" This meant that Alaude was going to come back, and Cavallone was going to have to wait before that day comes.

Again with that word… Alaude sighs inwardly, figuring that he's going to end up having to get used to the term. He stands up to stand next to Cavallone and plants a soft kiss on the top of the man's head. "I'll be going then. And I suppose I should also say get well soon."

Cavallone's heart began to flutter with Alaude's kiss. Maybe the primo was some how changing him, not that he was going to complain or anything. Cavallone wrapped his arms around Alaude's waist, "Why are you so adorable!" asking for the millionth time.

He stood up as well and escorted the cloud guardian down to the front door. Opening the door, there was already a carriage outside to take Alaude back, he planted a soft kiss on Alaude's cheek "thank you."
