3- lonely planet
that one time Gokudera tricked Dino into taking Takeshi to Italy
"Wow, your house is huge!" Takeshi laughed in amazement as the men ushered him in, luggage and an equally excited mafia boss in tow.
"Make yourself at home." The Italian laughed at the teen's reaction- he had a similar reaction when he first found out that the main mansion was part of his inheritance. "Keep your shoes on! Come on, I'll show you your room and then I'll take you out for dinner."
Romario let out a low chuckle at the sight before him, warmed at the prospect that the future Tenth Vongola boss wasn't the only one their boss was planning on making a bond with.
Takeshi liked to entertain the thought that Dino was what Yuzuki could be if she was a taller tattooed blond.
And a man.
"What part of Italy are we in?" Dino paused, twirling the noodles and let a small smile envelop his face. Takeshi smiled back.
"Sicily." The younger boy made a small sound of awe, the man continued, "I'll take you around to see the sights though. What do you want to see first?"
There was a stunned moment of silence before he whispered, "pizza."
"You could've just ordered that." Dino laughed.
"No, the weeeee-" he leaned sideways, arms up like a noodle in his seat. Dino stared before a look of comprehension blossomed.
"Pisa! Yah, sure of course! Anywhere else?"
Takeshi hmmed , remembering an old schedule and a phone call. A location. Milan? Sometime this week... Quickly shaking his head, the baseball prodigy went back to eating his food and beaming at the man before him before asking to be surprised.
Dino didn't say anything about the lonely look in the younger boy's eyes as he thought about new places to take him.
He also didn't say anything when he overheard the last bits of conversation after dropping the boy off at the airport at the end of the trip.
"Remember to get some sleep, sis! I saw your walk on TV, I'm sure Dad's going to be proud."
