Chapter 3
Gokudera smiled as he walked to a particular, homey looking café . It had been three weeks since his meeting with Cielo and he felt his life change in a million ways. For once, he wasn't neglected nor shunned away in where Cielo worked. He found out that Cielo worked and practically owned a café, more specifically, the 'Sky Café'. He smiled at the irony. Naming the café based on the sky when the owner doesn't even know he fitted the Sky's role perfectly, accepting of all and welcoming all.
"Hey ,Gokudera! Hurt our Cielo and you'll die in a million ways!"
"You're Smokin' Bomb Hayato! That's so cool! Cielo told us a lot about you! And damn You're hot! But no offense, Cielo is still cuter!"
"Hey! I know you! You saved me once! Thanks!"
"See Gokudera-kun, they all accept you!"
That last line was from Cielo. He still remembered that day like it was yesterday. He figured that Cielo didn't talk at all with these people but actually spoke in years! He smirked as soon as he saw the reactions of the different people. All of them blushed thirty different shades of red before abruptly fainting from blood loss and Cielo practically looking clueless. He snickered at the thought. Seems like they couldn't handle his moe-ness. And the fact that he was the first person Cielo talked to made him feel smug about the fact, and he didn't bother hiding the fact, always rubbing it in their faces with their bickering always ending up in fights. But… he smiled. They were fights that he'd never forget.
He stopped once he got at his destination and opened the door, the sound of bells echoing around the shop and the chatter of people halting as they looked at him. Then he smirked. "What? Surprised by my handsomeness?" he asked as he barely stifled a yelp when one of them pounced on him, wrapping his arm around his neck giving him a headlock.
"Damn, runt! I' m MORE handsome than you, Tako-head!" shouted a teen with red, spiky hair that went in all directions but still remained short enough to reveal his forehead. He had sharp, steel gray eyes that held irritation and veins popping out of his forehead. Gokudera scowled as he undid the headlock by elbowing the teen in the ribs then kneeing him in the stomach, the teen falling on the floor clutching his stomach as the occupants laughed.
"Ahaha… you got owned, Eric" laughed a boy with bright blue, shoulder-length hair and equally bright blue eyes. HIs lips set into a smile that would most likely have most girls fawning over him. He wore a simple blue, shirt that had numerous paint splashes decorating the left side and extending upwards, a simple black, skinny jeans and Dark High-cut Converse.
"Ahaha… fighting again?" asked another teen. This one was a beautiful brunette girl with stunning blue eyes. Her hair extended towards her mid-back and curled at the very, end, rectangular bangs framing her delicate, face. She wore a simple, maroon, knee-length dress with a pleated skirt, and the chest is adorned by a large, pink bow.
"I bet Gokudera wins this one!" shouted another occupant while others started betting on who will win the fight.
"Naw… It's Eric this time!"
"Dream on! Gokudera will win!"
"Shut up, Eric will!"
The said orange-haired teen, now dubbed as Eric scowled. "Shut up" he glared, before muttering incoherent curses and sitting down. His face was burning in embarrassment as the occupants laughed heartily before going back to their previous chats.
Gokudera smirked. Oh! How much he loved to agitate the guy! He looked like a cat that was trying to look intimidating but too bad, Gokudera isn't affected. "Giving up so soon?" he teased as he sat down between the blue-haired teen, now called James and Eric, with the brunette in front of him.
The brunette sighed before placing her espresso on the table. "You know… It practically is your fault, Gokudera" she said as she glared lightly at the said boy. Gokudera only smirked before shrugging. "It's not my fault that I'm more handsome than this thing, Arisa" he said with smugness and pointed to the Eric as the teen fumed in anger.
"Stop… Both of you will just blow up the café again" said James as he kicked both of them under the table, making both of the teens head crash on the table. Arisa giggled before abruptly smacking James at the back of the head. "You do know that they're going to kill you right?" she asked. James face drained out of color and Arisa smirked. He turned his attention back to the two teens that was now looking at him with sadistic gleams in their eyes.
"Bastard… you will pay!" he growled as he pounced on James who ran out of the café running like the devil is on his trail. Eric scowled. "Come back here and fight me like a real man!" he shouted as he ran after James. Gokudera and Arisa sighed. She looked at Gokudera with an apologetic expression. "Sorry Gokudera, I need to make sure Eric doesn't kill him" she said as she stood up and paid for her espresso. "Make sure to say hi to Cielo for me!" she shouted as her voice faded in the distance.
Gokudera grumbled as he watched the others chatting happily with each other, a few coming over to him and picking a few fights. He smiled as he watched people look at him in warmness and acceptance. It felt like he was already a part of them. It was like he belonged here in the first place, never shunned and never neglected.
"Hey! He's here!" shouted everyone as a teen with gravity-defying hair came in with a smile that caused more than half of the occupants to nosebleed. Once those eyes landed on Gokudera, they immediately lit up as he ran to him and hugged him, the occupants whistling as Gokudera blushed.
Cielo pulled back as he smiled. 'Good morning, Gokudera-kun! How are you! What would you like?" his eyes seemed to say. Cielo went to the coat rack as he took off his coat and hanged it there, turning back to Gokudera. 'Well?' Never in Gokudera's life would he know the answer as to how Cielo could start a conversation using his eyes. He smiled. "Good morning to you too, Cielo-san. I'm grand*. And I'll have the usual" he smiled.
Cielo smiled brightly, causing Gokudera to feel mushy in his stomach, as he nodded and walked into the kitchen, disappearing a few minutes later. Cielo reappears with sponge cake that was covered in white, strawberry flavored cream with kiwi and grapes set as a side dish. He placed the tray of the delicious looking pastry in front of Gokudera as the sweet aroma invaded his senses. "Thank you, Cielo-san" said Gokudera as he took a fork and embedded it in the soft cake. Cielo smiled again as he went back to work.
Gokudera watched as Cielo took a frilly, pink apron and served the customers that were more than happy to see him in the outfit. His eyes softened as he saw Cielo smiling and interacting with others. He didn't know why he felt this way. Every time he looked at Cielo, his heart beats faster and his stomach gets the butterflies. His smile, his actions, everything. They make him feel loved and accepted. He wouldn't give Cielo up to the world. 'Not him' he thought as Cielo turned around and Gokudera's eyes met his eyes. Cielo smiled as the sun shined on his beautiful, white as snow skin and hair that made it glistened. His skin was illuminated by the light with his mouth set in the most loving smile that one would ever receive. Imaginary, wedding bells and animals singing in the background appeared.
Gokudera's eyes widened as a blush crept on his face. Cielo looked like an angel. He looked so beautiful and out of this world. If only there were white, untainted wings that sprouted from his back, Gokudera will have no doubts on him being an angel. He will never give him up. 'Never' He thought as his eyes softened by seeing Cielo's angelic smiles. 'Never'

"Hey, Giotto" greeted a young man with red, almost pink, hair that was styled the same way as Gokudera. He too had the same almond-shaped eyes, just different in color; Magenta. He had a scarlet tattoo that resembled that of a storm flame. It decorated half of his right face and extended down his prominent jaw line and ended on his right collarbone.
"Hey G… What's wrong? You look like Gokudera is missing" joked the young man named Giotto. He had golden, blonde gravity-defying hair that framed his porcelain face, bangs falling freely down the side of his face and shinning sapphire blue eyes. He was adorned with a pin striped suit and black dress pants, a gargantuan black cape dangling of his chair.
The man, G sighed. "Well… I wouldn't say he's missing. It's more like he ran off, again" he muttered with a scowl. Giotto laughed, seeing his best friend grumpy. He stood up from his desk and patted his friend on the back. "Ahaha…He's growing up, G. He might be just seeing a girlfriend" laughed Giotto as he sat on one of the many sofas in his office and stretched his arms and legs, making a face as he did so.
G rolled his eyes and snorted in disbelief. He sat down beside Giotto as he crossed his arms. "That brat? I don't think so… hell, a rock would be a better escort than him" said G, disbelief evident in his voice. Giotto laughed heartily as he stared at his friend with tears on his eyes. "Come on G, don't be like that. You never know, he might actually have one" he said.
G sighed at his boss' antics before looking at him straight in the eye."But seriously, I'm getting worried. He's going out a lot these past few weeks and he doesn't talk to anyone anymore… I mean sure, he didn't talk to anyone before, well maybe except threatening them, but this time, he's practically ignoring everyone! Including me!" shouted G as he ruffled his hair in confusion.
Giotto looked at his friend sympathetically as he sighed. "G, you're being paranoid. Maybe it's just because he's on puberty" he suggested as he stood up and went back to his desk that was filled with paper work. He glared at G's direction. "And get out. It's your fault that I have to this all these paper work" he growled as he glared at G, threatening him. G paled as he stood up quickly and ran outside the office. 'Giotto can be scary if he wants too'

"Hey… have you all seen Gokudera anywhere?" asked a raven-haired teen as he plopped down on one of the sofas placed in the room. He had spiky, raven hair with brown, almost amber eyes that showed worry and curiousness. He yawned as he blinked his eyes, trying to get rid of the sleepiness.
"I EXTREMELY do not know where EXTREMELY Tako-head is to the EXTREME!" shouted a loud, white-haired boy which made all the occupants cover their ears form going deaf. All of them winced as soon as the loud, booming noise entered their eardrums and prayed to the god out there that their eardrums wouldn't burst.
"Yare, Yare…Keep it down, Ryohei-nii… Your voice is going to taint, Ore-sama's ear" grumble a fifteen-year old boy with black curly locks and emerald green eyes, looked lazily at Ryohei, one eye closed as the other one just drifted lazily across the room.
"Tch…Herbivore is going out a lot these weeks" growled another raven-haired teen as he walked to the nearest wall, yet the furthest wall away from the group and he leaned back and closed his eyes. He grumbled something about temperamental herbivores ditching out on his job.
"Ahaha… Maa, Maa, Hibari. Don't be so uptight! Lighten up!" exclaimed the previous, friendly looking een. "Don't order me around, herbivore". Hibari glared as he took out his tonfas out nowhere and narrowed his eyes. "Or, I'll bite you to death…". Lambo sighed. "You know that sounds so wrong, Kyoya-nii" he sighed. Hibari glared at Lambo as Lambo squirmed under the heated gaze. He felt sweat dripping down his forehead and averted his eyes to look elsewhere, not looking at Hibari in case he gets 'Bitten to Death'
"Kufufu… Skylark-kun is on his mood swings!" shouted a teen that had red and blue heterochromatic eyes and the oddest, indigo styled- pineapple hair. He had a smug smirk on his face as he twirled a deadly, looking trident. "Mukuro-sama…Don't" whispered a girl that looked like the previous boy except had an eye-patch that covers her left eye and was shy-looking, not like the boy that had an aura of confidence. Mukuro ignored her. Hibari glared, even more deadly than the previous ones but later on smirked. "Pineapple herbivore". Hibari smirked widened as he saw a vein popped on the forehead of the 'Pineapple herbivore'.
"Kufufu…What did you call me?" he growled dangerously low and stood up, a murderous aura surrounding him. "Murkoro-sama…." said Chrome nervously as she glanced at the Cloud Guardian, pleading for him to stop.
"Ahaha… come on, Mukuro. Hibari was just joking!" said the most friendly-looking teen of the group nervously as he tried to calm the said boy down. He glanced at the direction of Hibari before sending a pleading look saying 'Don't anger him!'
"Yare, Yare… this is just a waste of my time. Call me later… I'm going on a date with my bed" said Lambo lazily as he strolled out the room.
"EXTREME DATE! I FORGOT! HANA AND I HAVE AN EXTREME DATE IN TEN MINUTES!" shouted the overenthusiastic Ryohei as he ran out the room with dust particles left behind in his tracks. Others stared at the cloud of smoke in interest, wondering if it will go on fire. One minute later, nothing happened so they averted their attention back to the bickering duo.
Hibari smirked as he saw the look Yamamoto was sending him. He chose to ignore it as he turned to face Mukuro. "Don't like being called pineapple? Fine… You are now upgraded to 'Pedophile, Perverted, Pineapple-headed herbivore". All occupants stopped their little ministrations. Chrome stifled a giggle, and Yamamoto laughed out loud as he clutched his aching stomach. 'Oh man! Hibari got Mukuro this time!' he cackled in his mind.
Mukuro's eyebrow twitched violently as his bang shadowed hisface and a dangerous aura covered his body, suffocating enough for lesser mafia to faint but not the others. This was normal to them. He brought out his trident as his red eyes changed into kanji 'one', and twirled it ominously. "Kufufufu… Do you want to die, Little birdie?" he asked with a not so innocent smile.
Hibari smirked as he fished out his tonfas from his pocket's magical black hole and brought it up in a fighting stance. "I'll bite you to death!" and with that, he and Mukuro engaged in a battle. Yamamto and Chrome sighed.
"You know…This is getting a bit old" grumbled Yamamoto, uncharacteristically pissed off as irritation flashed in his amber orbs. Chrome nodded meekly, yet still held the same amount of irritation. Yamamoto sighed as he turned his head to face the large, gargantuan, glass window and looked up at the dark, mid-night sky. "But seriously…Gokudera, where are you?" he whispered under his breath, hoping that Chrome didn't hear her. And yet she did. Chrome looked at the Rain guardian worriedly before looking at the small, door that was slightly open. She frowned.
'He was here. Sawada Takeyoshi was here.'

Gokudera sighed in frustration as he opened the door to the Vongola mansion. He didn't know that he'd spent almost, four hours in the café, fighting with more people, admiring Cielo's beauty, punching and kicking Eric again, Admiring Cielo's beauty, and eating lots of cake. Oh, and did he mention admiring Cielo's beauty? Really, they were the only people that made him lose track of time because he enjoys their company so much.
He growled as he got nearer to the living room, hoping to get at least some rest. He didn't want to go to his room. It was cold and bare. At least in the living room, it was nice and homey, yet not as homey as Cielo's café. Nothing can compare to that place. It was his haven, his home, his family. It was his everything and his very life. He didn't want to lose that place, especially Cielo. He smiled as he thought of the name. Just hearing his name sent his stomach into waves of mushiness and happiness, a rose color tinted his cheeks and his eyes would light up in respect, admiration, and something else he didn't know. But, he will find out, next time.
He stopped at the front doors of the living room and twisted it open, expecting it bare with no one else in it, but he certainly wasn't expecting this.
"And Where were you?" thundered the occupant as Gokudera inwardly cried. He cursed every God out there for ruining his good mood. Why did he have to see the face of that one person, ONE, he hated so much in the world. That baseball freak was more tolerable than this, this, this monstrosity. He cursed in his mind, yet kept a calm composure as the person neared him, a thundering expression marred his handsome face. (Pfft- Yeah right. Bitch please, Tsuna is a thousand times handsomer than you!)
"I asked you a question… Where were you?"
And lo and behold, there, in his self-appointed glory is the soon-to-be-boss of Vongola, Sawada Takeyoshi.
'I fucking hate you, Kami'
