Location: Italy
Airport
Tsuna and Nana arrived at the airport after a long ride from the airplane, they gathered their luggage and walked around to searching for their ride. The petite model glanced around while his mother also scanning their surroundings until his honey-brown eyes landed on a tall man who has blonde hair that combed back, black suit, and black leather shoes. He was holding a white paper with names that Tsuna recognized his alias along with his mother's.
Tsuna tugged his mother's sleeve and pointed at the blonde-haired man. "Mama…" Nana glanced over and her fake-blue eyes lighten up with a relieved smile.
Nana and Tsuna walked toward to the blonde-haired man. "Hello, I'm Shichi and this is Sora-chan." The mother informed as she stood behind her son as her hands on his shoulders.
The man nods his head. "Benvenuto. My name is Gamma, it's my responsibility to bring you and Sora-san to Arcobaleno Corporation by the order from Ottavo Capo." Gamma introduced himself politely and explained mostly in Japanese with slight Italian words.
"Thank you." Nana smiles with gratitude as she bowed respectfully along with Tsuna who bowed as well.
Gamma walked up to them, grabbed their luggage not unkindly and tilted his head at the direction of the exit doors. "Please, follow me." He leads them out of the airport to his black fancy car with tint windows. He walked to the trunk, opened it and placed inside then shut it. Gamma went to the back door, opened it and placed his hand over the edge. He doesn't want Nana nor Tsuna to accidentally hit their head.
He waited patiently for his boss' guests to climbed inside and shut the door. Gamma walked around to his driver seat, climbed inside and shut it. He put the seatbelt on and adjusted the mirror.
"Are we going to meet Luce-san?" Nana asked, civilly after she put her seatbelt on while her son is looking through the window with curiosity and awe.
Gamma glanced at the view mirror as he nods his head. "Hai. The boss wants to see you both, and have a meeting as soon as possible." He explained briefly while turned the car on. Then start driving at respectful speed as they left the airport behind.
The mother smiles with content then glanced at Tsuna. Her heart glows when she noticed his wide eyes filled with amazed by the gorgeous sights of Italy. Nana is very happy to have such a thoughtful and beautiful child, thanks to him, he gave her resolves and purpose in life after her heartbroken divorced. She is not alone, as long as she has her little Sky, she is satisfied with her life.

Location: Italy
Arcobaleno Corporation
Gamma arrived at the location and parked his car in the parking spot. "We are here." He announced politely.
In the backseat, Tsuna gapped at the modern tall and wide building. He won't deny but it's rather intimidating just to look at it. He noticed a sign with a unique design of the company's name with colors of rainbow along with white stars. Tsuna snapped out of it when the door opened, Gamma placed his hand by the edge out of habit as he made sure none of the guests' hit their heads.
When Nana and Tsuna climbed out of the car. Gamma shut the door and locked his car. "Come with me, please." He leaned them toward the building. Once they are inside of the luxury building which amazed both mother and son.
The floor was polished white tiles, walls are covered calm blue colors, along with a white large circle desk in the middle of the room. Gamma walked up to the receptionist with a professional smile. "They have an appointment with the CEO." He explained to the woman behind the desk in Italian.
The employee nodded her head understanding, she checked the computer with few keys then glanced at the blonde-haired man. "Just in time, sire. Miss. Luce is waiting in her office." She said.
"Grazie." Gamma thanked the receptionist, turned to the curious manager and rookie model who are waiting quietly. "Boss is waiting for you in her office." He informed them in Japanese as he led them to the elevator.
Tsuna and Nana walked inside the box and Gamma pressed the button of level thirty of a building. When they arrived at the correct floor, the blonde-haired man showed them to the door where the CEO's office was. He knocked on the door and waited, then opened the doors when he heard the permission words from a feminine voice. "Sora-san, and Shichi-san are here, boss." He announced in his native tongue.
Gamma tipped his head at Tsuna and Nana who walked inside the nice yet professional office. The floor was dark orange carpet, ceiling-to-floor windows, cream-white walls, a dark wood desk covered with computer and paperwork and leather chair. Where it was sat by a beautiful woman who smiles at them.
"Hello! My name is Luce, the owner of Arcobaleno Corporation. Please, sit down." She stood up from her chair and gesture her hand at the two chairs in front of her desk with a warm smile.
Luce glanced at her driver/bodyguard. "Thank you for bringing them here, Gamma."
Gamma bowed respectfully to his boss then walked out of the office with the door shut quietly. Meanwhile, Nana and Tsuna sat on the chairs.
The boss sat back down on her chair. "I hope you both travel safely here?" she asked her guests with a soft smile.
"Hai." Nana smiles politely. "Thank you for the new opportunity for Sora-chan." She said with grateful and excited.
Luce giggled. "I'm glad to give a chance for Sora-chan." Her eyes glanced at Tsuna who seems shy. "As long as Sora-chan promises to do her best for Elementi project?" she asked the rookie model with a curious smile.
"H-hai!" Tsuna stuttered with red cheeks.
The CEO giggled. 'How cute.' She can understand why Sora is Top Ten Kawaii of Japan. Then she entwined her fingers on top of her paperwork. "The photographer who is a charge of the project is very excited to have you on board! He is one of the famous photographers, Kikyo from Millefiore Institution."
Nana's eyes lit up with amazed. "I've seen of his work!" she recalled of his photos skill when it comes to modeling and natures. "But does that mean Sora-chan will be overwhelming?" she frowned, concerned as she doesn't want her son to be overwhelming and pressures since this is his first time doing real modeling. Tsuna listens between his mother/manager and the boss quietly with a soft frown.
"I won't deny that this project is a big deal to Arcobaleno business." Luce admitted. "But Kikyo is very friendly and flexible. He is aware of Sora-chan's low experience. He knew that and is willing to teach her. Plus, he has patience and tons of experiences when it comes to beginner models." She assured Nana and Tsuna who is relieved to hear the information.
The CEO cleared her throat. "Now then, to explain about the Elementi project. Sora-chan will be the Cielo which is a very important role. It is known as having many mysteries, its characteristic, Harmony, represents a state without contradiction nor flaws in which the balance of the white is maintained. The Harmony that allows combining with other elements. As Cielo, it accepts and loves with each element no matter what. There are seven different elements, there are sun, rain, lightning, cloud, mist, storm, and night." She explained, professionally. "Sora-chan will model each of the element models, separately, and until the final part of the project. It will have all elements gather as a group. Each element has its own stories when it comes to a Cielo."
Nana hummed with interest. "And what are these stories?"
"I will have Kikyo handle that explanation for you both." Luce answered and Nana nodded her head understanding. "My models have knowledge with different languages, they can speak Japanese so Sora-chan doesn't have to worried about being left out nor feeling uncomfortable." She said with a smile.
Tsuna smiles softly with relief. He doesn't know Italian yet but happy that he doesn't have to feel awkward and lonely if no one can speak his native tongue language. "T-thank you." He is grateful for that while he knew his mother is happy as well even though she only knew very little of the Italian language.
Luce's eyes soften. "You are very welcome, Sora-chan. Any questions you both have?" she asked, curious.
"Hai…" Nana tilted her head with polite curiosity. "You say each element model?"
The CEO nod her head. "Right, my models who are Arcobaleno group, seven of them." The mother's eyes wide in surprise while Tsuna blinked with confused. Tsuna has heard of the Arcobaleno group but never really an interest in them nor research them at all. However, judging from his mother's reaction, she obviously knew them.
"Oh my…" Nana mumbled. She didn't expect that her son will be working with famous models/actors, but genuinely excited for him. "…this will surely bring excitement for Sora-chan." She said with a mysterious smile.
Luce nodded her head, agreed with the manager. "Hai. And they are…intriguing to work with Sora-chan." She said, mystery smile as well.
Tsuna eyeing at his mother and the boss back and forth. 'Why do I feel like this 'excitement' is going to bring me chaos?' he mused, cautiously confusion.
After a quick discussion about schedules and locations, and Luce gave them a gentle smile. "I'm afraid that I couldn't watch you modeling since I'm very busy for the moment. However, you will meet my models' manager tomorrow, along with Kikyo. I trust my driver, Gamma will take you to where you both need to go. Gamma is very reliable, and he will assist whenever you both need it." She explained, then turn her attention to Tsuna. "I'm really looking forward to seeing Elementi project success, Sora-chan. I have faith in you." She added with a courage smile.
Tsuna blushes with embarrassed yet excited. "I'm looking forward to it too, Luce-san." He and his mother stood up from their seats and bowed respectfully to the CEO.
The CEO watched the rookie model and the manager left her office and leaned back against her chair, comfortably. A mystery smile appeared on her face as her eyes twinkle with amused. Her fingers are drumming against her desk while humming softly. 'Sora-chan… is a very pretty boy.' She mused with fascinated, accepted, and content. Luce met all kinds of different people that she grew up as observant to the point that she can see the smallest details from appearances. She can easily figure out their gender and their nature after many experiences being observant.
'I wonder if my models will notice that Sora-chan is unique?' Luce wondered then shrugged her shoulders. 'Let them figure it out, if not, oh well.' She doesn't care that Sora is a male because male or not, Sora is definitely a Sky material. She turned her head to the window behind her with thoughtful hummed. 'If Sora-chan makes a success of Elementi project… maybe I could willingly provide a contract between Arcobaleno and Sora-chan.' She mused, thinking if the rookie model did bring Elementi a huge success, then she could make a contract for a rookie model to be part of the Arcobaleno Corporation.
Luce decided to wait and see. 'I hope you can prove to me that not only you are a Sky, but also fit into my company with the Arcobaleno group.' She wonders, will Sora succeed or fail?

Location: Casa Hotel
Room #270
Nana was amazed as her eyes lit up at the beautiful scenery outside of the large window in the hotel room. "Tsu-kun! Look at this!" the mother called out to her son while her eyes carefully examined the scenery.
The petite boy walked up to his mother after he placed his luggage on his bed. He stood next to her and was awe by wonderful scenery. They both quietly watched the landscape and the sky with interest until Nana opened her mouth. "Are you exciting for your modeling tomorrow?" she glanced at her son from the corner of her eyes curiously.
"Hai…" Tsuna bit his inner cheek then glanced down. "…but I'm nervous." He admitted shyly.
His mother turned around, wrapped her arms around his shoulders and placed her hand against his. "Don't worry, Tsu-kun. I'll be there with you, you know? You are not alone, I'm with you every step of a way." She promised, she will never leave her son alone in the dark world. She wants to make sure her son knew that he will always have her no matter when, where, how, nor why. He always has her.
Tsuna hugged his mother back gently. "Thanks, mama." He whispered with gratitude. They both continued hugging while watching the scenery. Tsuna has been contemplative for a while. He is feeling nerve-wracking since he never models with someone who is probably professional. He is nervous that he might mess up, or ruin the project, and his experience as a model wasn't impressive. He is only a rookie and he is also scared that his secret will expose if he's not careful enough. But… he recalled that CEO, Luce told him that she had faith in him. And so, Tsuna doesn't want to disappoint the kind CEO and he also didn't want to disappoint his mother.
So, with a resolve that a petite boy will try his best with his ability to bring a huge success of Elementi project, for people who have faith in him. Then he remembered something from the meeting with the boss. "Mama… who is this Arcobaleno group?" he asked, curious.
Nana hummed as she breaks the hugs from her son and smiles knowingly at him. She knew her son has no knowledge of the famous celebrities from Arcobaleno since he wasn't interested in stardom. Her son was only ever interested in videogames, manga comics, and cooking. It's a good thing that he has a mother who is obsessed with stardom and always keep up with their social media of pop cultures.
"Oh, Tsu-kun… hmm… they are famous for modeling and acting." She explained, then she walked to her luggage where she put on the bed that she chose to sleep in, unzipped it, and took out her laptop. "I knew them from a couple of films and some fashion magazines." She added while placed her laptop on the table, sat down on a chair and beckoned her son to sit next to her.
Tsuna obeyed quietly with interest in his mother's information. He watched his mother opened the laptop, powered on, typed password, then went to turn on Wi-Fi with a password that hotel provides them a while ago, then went to google. "Let's see…" Nana mumbles to herself decided to go on the TokoyouTube and typed a few things. "…here's the clip from the film that I watched a few months ago. It's an Italian drama movie and there are two main actors from the Arcobaleno group." She pressed one of the videos and full-screen mode on. The brunette rookie model leaned forward with curiosity at the clip from the drama film with Japanese subtitles.
[Clip Movie: Play]
[Two young men who stood on top of the rooftop, grey clouds covered the blue sky while the sound of the whistle from winds. The thunder heard from the distance. It was a very intense scene as the view got closer to the young men. One of the men, who stood across the rooftop. He wore a black tight short-sleeve shirt, black army pants tucked into black combat boots, black fingerless gloves, and has weapon gadgets around his hips and he is carrying AR-15 gun. His blonde hair was ruffled by the wind as his sharpen darken blue eyes, staring hatefully at the other man.
The other male wore a white button-down dress shirt with few unbuttons top, untucked from his black slacks, polished black leather shoes, black fedora hat covered his black hair, blank onyx eyes, and he is carrying a CZ-75B gun. They are facing each other with dangerous weapons.
"Heh… who would've thought you find me." A fedora-wearing man said with a sharp smirked.
A blonde-haired man scowled hatefully. "You…bastard! You killed my brother, you murderer!" he snapped, fighting the urge to shoot the asshole.
The black-haired man tilted his head slightly. "Hmm… and?" he blurted, emotionless. His answers angered the blonde-haired man that he pulled the trigger.
However, the black-haired man dodged the bullets calmly while holding his gun, without even pull a trigger.
"You pissed me off…" the blonde-haired spat with anger while his eyes stayed on his brother's murderer. "…how would you feel if I murder your sister." He noticed the black-haired man stiffed and slowly vicious smirked appeared. "…what was her name? Sofia?" he immediately dodged the bullet that was shot by the black-haired man who looked furious murderously.
"Don't." the fedora hat covered half of his face. "You dare. Threatened. My sister." He whispered, sharply and deeply that send people's spins chill.
The blonde-haired man adjusted his gun and pointed at his brother's murderer with a serious face. "That feeling… is nothing compared to mine when you killed my brother, asshole."]
[Clip Movie: Stop]
Nana glanced at her son. "That one…" she pointed at the blonde-haired man. "…his name is Colonnello and that one is Reborn." then pointed to the black-haired man.
Tsuna hummed with amazed. He could tell this movie seems to be very good, maybe he will watch it someday. 'Colonnello… Reborn…' he mused, carefully examined the actors from the screen.
The mother exited the screen and typed a few things, clicked one of the videos and bring it full screen. "This is Bermuda." She said while her son observed the young man from the screen. "This was one of the red carpets, I think."
[Clip Shot: Play]
[A young man who has a black top hat, dressed in a black suit along with a black trench coat, white gloves, and a cane in hand. Bermuda's oval-shaped onyx eyes glanced at the filming cameras and flashing snapshots. His face was blank while he continued walking the red carpet calmly.
He paused when he noticed a little boy with a shaved head, limping and disfigured arm. The little boy's eyes brighten at Bermuda with awed and amazed. Bermuda walked to the little boy, ignored the others and bend down. He pointed at the autograph book and a pan in the little boy's hand.
The little boy bobbled his head, handed it to Bermuda who signed his name with neat beautiful handwriting then gave it back to the little fan. He even takes a picture with the little boy by the little boy's guardians.
Bermuda gently pats the little boy's head, stood up, tipped his top hat then walked away down the red carpet silently.]
[Clip Shot: Stop]
The brunette boy smiles softly. 'He's so nice.' He admired those kinds of people who care about special people without a hint of pity or judgment.
Nana exited the full screen. "That's right, Bermuda is a gentleman… a lot of fans love him for being so sweet." She remembered seeing this once the last year, she thought it was nice that there are people like him exist in this world.
Then her fake-blue eyes spotted one of the recommended videos. "Oh! This one, his name is Skull." She clicked the video and full screen it.
"Skull?" Tsuna raised his eyebrows at the name, who would have a name that goes by a skull? His honey-brown eyes carefully examined the young man from the screen.
[Clip Shot: Play]
[A young man who has dark purple hair, dark-brown eyes, and wears a neon green tank top with a black mesh short-sleeve shirt, ripped black jeans, neon-green converse shoes, and has pierced earrings and a lip-ring pierced. Skull grinned widely when he pointed at one of the players in some kind of competitive game. "I won't lose to you!" he shouted in Italian.
Skull threw a ball up in the air and caught it. His dark-brown eyes sharpen at the bottles that stacked up on the pillar. He was cheered by the fans in the audience. Skull threw the ball at the target, and immediately the bottles scattered around. "Yes!" he jumped in the air with a gleeful face while his fans applauded and happy for him.]
[Clip Shot: Stop]
Nana smiles softly and decided to go to the google images of the others. She typed a few things and pulled up photos of another young man. "This is Verde. He isn't in a lot of films, but he is in the magazines quite a few times."
The brunette boy hummed with polite interest. One of the photos, Verde has spiky green hair, with his eyes closed as he was laying on the fresh grass. He wore dark-brown dress-shirt with buttons, loose black tie, and his glasses were folded and placed onto his chest. He looked peaceful as he was sleeping.
Then his mother typed on the keyboard and changed to a different person. "That is Viper." She pointed at one of the photos.
In the photos, Viper has purple hair that grown to his collarbones, tied in a loose ponytail. Black sunglasses covered his eyes, two-dark violet triangular marking on his cheeks that extend to his jawlines, wears a pale indigo tank top, white jeans tucked into black boots, and white sweater that hands from his elbows, lazily to put it over his shoulders. His face was turned to the left direction while his body was facing the camera. He had an aura of mystery surrounded him.
The brunette boy couldn't help but thought Viper is mysteriously handsome. Even his mother who spoke out loud that she did think Viper is very pretty looking.
"And one more…" Tsuna couldn't believe this group has seven members. Nana typed and switched to the last celebrity and beamed at Tsuna. "…His name is Fon."
One of the photos who happened to be a gif-motion of a young man who looked Asian. Fon has long black hair that tied in a braid, and he wore a loose red tank top. At first, Fon has his eyes closed for a second or two then opened half-way to reveal his stormy-grey rage eyes. The motion repeated that Tsuna assumed this gif-motion was a clip from a film.
"…they all look… so professional." He is feeling intimidated by these seven attractive-looking celebrities.
His mother smiles softly at her son, knowing that it's scary for him but she truly has faith in him. She turned back to her laptop, typed a few things and pulled up a page from a magazine to showed Sora. "Look, Tsu-kun…" Tsuna glanced at the screen, surprised to see Sora. "…you looked professional and very beautiful. Many people did have a hard time believing that this is your first photoshoot. You have talent." She wraps her arms around her son's shoulders. "I believe that you can pull this project off, I know you will succeed this. This opportunity will help you grow in time, have more experiences and polish your talent." Nana pecked her son's forehead. "I believe in you, Tsu-kun."
Tsuna smiles warmly at his mother with gratitude in his honey-brown eyes. "Thank you, mama." He is nervous, scared, but at the same time, he is determined to do this modeling project. 'I can do this.'
