Coincidence
***
Lady Une slowly pulled open the door, only to see those stunning ice blue eyes. She softly gasped and forced a nervous smile; her eyes looked over him.. and she blushed at her obvious observation, "M..Milliardo! What a surprise to see you here. Aren't you supposed to be at work?" she held the door open for him as a way to say, 'Come on in.'
Milliardo came in, looking Lady Une over. She was beautiful beyond doubt: her bronzed skin, slender figure, voluptuous curves. He wished silently that he didn't have to take his eyes off of her. He looked around, "Were you just leaving?" he said, the piercing orbs darting back to meet her gaze.
"Oh.. yes, I was just going to walk around town." Lady Une would've given anything to kill her sudden shy demeanor. She hid it as well as her happiness to see him here.
"Do you mind if I tag along?" a smile waltzed across Milliardo's lips as he spoke, and Lady Une nodded lightly to him.. Leading him out the door she turns only to close the door and lock it. Lifting her head she looked up to Milliardo, who made a loop with his arm. Lady Une blinked a bit, and she slid her arm hesitantly into his.
As they appeared on the street, Milliardo gazed down to Une, "Where were you going to go?"
"I.. was going to go shopping, but I know how men are.. so I guess if you want.. we can go grab a bite to eat?" Une spoke slowly as if she had to think about what she was going to say.
"I don't mind shopping with you.." he seemed to tug her closer now as they headed towards the main part of town.

As Milliardo and Lady Une drifted in and out of stores, many people stopped to compliment on how cute of a couple they made. This made Lady Une's shyness increase as they continued through the evening. Milliardo had chosen a few, very pretty, and very revealing dresses for Lady Une, and she had kindly accepted his opinion and taste.
As the evening wore on, Milliardo and Une left the people ridden stores; Milliardo lead Lady Une to the park.. a stroll beneath the moonlight. It was now that his hand found hers, slipping into it as if they were truly a couple. Lady Une raised her head and looked up to Milliardo as he did this. He led her to the well-cultivated part of the park, and reached for a blooming carnation. Carefully cutting it he lightly placed it in her hair.. gazing into her eyes.
It was as if Lady Une had fallen prey to him.. she seemed to leave the real world as she lost herself in his eyes. Milliardo leaned down and softly caught her lips with his. Une's hand rose, to gently graze his cheek. As he pulled away, Une collapsed from shock. Milliardo caught the abruptly falling Une.. and cradled her like a baby.
He didn't think that what he had done would cause Une that much surprise.. Leaning down his arm swept under Lady Une's knees, and he cradled her even more like a child. He gazed at her in her mild slumber, a smile curving his lips. He walked her home in this fashion.
Fishing the keys to her apartment out of her purse, Milliardo carried her inside. It was odd to carry her over the threshold in this manner. He almost laughed at this situation. He lightly set Lady Une down on her bed, pulling her desk chair to the bedside. He sat down, and glanced around her apartment, "Wow.. very clean."
"..Thank you.." Lady Une's eyes were faintly open, and a light smile was beginning to form upon her lips. She sat up slowly, and then stood as best she could, "It's late, you should go; Noin might be wondering about you."
"Yes, I'm afraid you're right, aren't you." He stood with her and walked to the door. Lady Une had previously taken note of the temperature, and moves to her closet. She removed a light trench coat.. and looked to Milliardo.
"It's a bit chilly out.. I don't want you to catch cold on account of me. Milliardo welcomed the coat, and smiled lightly as Lady Une aided him in putting it on. She now stood in front of him, her eyes looking at the buttons. The coat had been one of Treizes', but Lady Une wasn't thinking about Treize in the least.
Her hands remained beneath the collar, as she leaned up to lightly brush her lips against Milliardo's. She blushed furiously, and looked down. Milliardo's hand rose and lightly cupped her chin; he tilted her head up towards him. Gazing into her eyes, he peered deep into her soul.. before pressing his lips firmly to hers in a long passionate kiss.
This time Lady Une didn't even come close to passing out. Instead she lightly caressed Milliardo's cheek, returning his passionate kiss with one of equality. She was surprised only as Milliardo swooped in and scooped her into his arms. He slowly slid the jacket off, letting it fall to the ground in front of her door. He carried her back into her room, and let her remove her shoes, as he removed his own.
