Twitterpated in Little Italy

Fred hummed to himself as he walked to pick up Kairi for their date. He had a surprise planned for her that he hoped she would love. It could be kind of intimidating to date someone like Kairi. She was so into love and romance, and Fred was always worried that he'd do something that wasn't romantic enough and Kairi would get depressed and leave him.

They'd only officially been dating for a month, but they'd been going on adventures with each other for years. Fred mentally chastised himself for not asking her out sooner.

He jaunted up the steps to the apartment Kairi shared with Cade and her sisters. Fred hoped Kairi would answer the door. He didn't feel like dealing with Cade's older sister Adrienne. She had a very stuck-up feel to her and she always made Fred feel stupid. At least when Cade teased him it was always friendly.

When the door opened, Fred was greeted with a frowning red-head.

"Nice to see you too, Cade." Fred rolled his eyes.

Cade sighed. "I was hoping you were Sam. I'm assuming you're here for Kairi?"

Fred nodded and stepped into the apartment. It wasn't a bad size, but when you had four girls living in it, it felt a little cramped. "Why would I be Sam?"

"We're going to the zoo today. They opened up a new snow leopard exhibit. They've found in recent studies that-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Fred cut her off before she could go off on one of her nerd tangents. Cade could talk as much as Kairi when it came to science. "Is Kairi here?"

Cade frowned. "She's doing her hair. I'm sure she'll be out soon."

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Kairi bounced down the hall into the living room. Her eyes lit up when she saw Fred. "Hey, baby!"

Fred grinned and wrapped her in his arms. "Hey, princess. Ready for our date?"

Kairi nodded enthusiastically. "Where are we going?"

Fred winked at her. "You'll see."

"I know it doesn't compare to the real place, but I thought it was the next best thing." Fred gestured towards the scene before them.

Kairi giggled and clapped her hands. "It's amazing! I didn't even know there was a Little Italy in New York!"

She hurried forward and Fred was forced to run after her to keep up.

Kairi stared up at the colourful buildings in awe. The bricks had been painted various shades of red and yellow. One even had stripes of green, white, and red to look like Italy's flag. People bustled about everywhere. Some browsed through small shops and others sat at intimate tables outside of classic style restaurants.

Fred grinned as he watched Kairi explore the small city. His heart melted at the sight of her smile. "Remind you of home?"

"Sort of. Ischia was never this urban. But this place definitely gives off an Italian vibe. Molto bella!"

"What?"

Kairi grabbed his hand. "I love it."

There was a long silence between them. Fred glanced down at Kairi's soft lips. He had an urge to kiss her, but he held back. They'd never kissed before and Fred knew that he had to make their first kiss special. Kairi deserved it. He had an idea, but it would have to wait.

"Come on." Fred gently pulled her down the street. "I made reservations for us at this cool restaurant."

Kairi smiled and happily followed him. Her eyes continued to scan the streets of Little Italy as they headed towards the restaurant.

Fred stopped her in front of a romantic looking maroon building.

"Pellegrino's?" Kairi studied the fancy restaurant. A few two-person tables were set up outside. Soft Italian music flowed out of the open doors. Her mouth watered when the scent of garlic bread and tomatoes filled her nose.

Fred watched her with a grin on his face. "One of the top Italian restaurants in New York." He wrapped an arm around her waist and led her into the building. "Come on, princess. I'm starving."

Kairi giggled and wiped tomato sauce off of Fred's cheek. "You know the food goes in your mouth, right?"

Fred grinned and let Kairi clean off his face. "It's not my fault you Italians put your sauce on top of your pizza. You know cheese is supposed to go on top, right?"

"Maybe on American pizza." Kairi happily bit into another slice of pizza. "The original way does not have cheese."

Fred gazed at Kairi with a small smile on his face. Her straightened hair had started to turn out at the ends and her lip gloss was completely gone after eating so much pizza. And yet, Fred still thought she was the most beautiful girl her knew. He didn't notice that he had been staring at her for a while.

Kairi blinked at him. "Do I have something on my face?" She quickly grabbed a napkin and wiped around her mouth.

Fred shook himself out of his thoughts. "Yeah, actually. Right here." He flirtatiously pinched her cheek.

"Hey!" Kairi laughed and rubbed her cheek. "Thanks, prince."

"Anytime." Fred winked at her. He looked down at his phone to check the time. 7:30. Perfect. He waved the waiter over to get the check and hurriedly paid for the delicious meal. He stood and took Kairi's hand.

"Where are we going now?" She stood to join him.

"It's a surprise. Come on. I'll show you."

Fred pulled Kairi close on the rooftop and kept his arms wrapped around her. She let out a content sigh and leaned into his chest.

"You are amazing, you know that?" Kairi looked up at him.

Her smile melted his heart. "Anything for my princess."

The sunset slowly settled over the city, casting a golden glow on all the buildings. The city lights slowly begin to flick on. Starry nights weren't something you got a lot of in the big city, but you did get some amazing sunsets. The sun fell past the tall skyscrapers. The light rays shone through the spaces between the buildings creating a heavenly spotlight on the lower buildings that surrounded them, including the one Fred and Kairi were currently cuddling on.

"So you really enjoyed today?" Fred tried to keep his voice steady. He didn't want Kairi to know how nervous he was.

Kairi nodded zealously. "It was perfect! Little Italy is so cool, even if it's not like my home. The food was great and this sunset is so beautiful that I might die again."

Fred chuckled and tightened his arms around her. "Please, don't. I prefer my princesses to be alive."

Kairi giggled and swiveled her head to stare up into his eyes.

Fred swallowed. Kairi's eyes were like melted chocolate. They were always so bright. Fred loved how she could find the goodness and happiness in any situation. She saw the world as this beautiful place where you could find magic and adventure anywhere if you looked hard enough.

Fred closed his eyes and leaned in to kiss her. Kairi made a squeak in surprise. Fred smiled into the kiss and pulled her face in closer to his. Their mouths melted together and Fred's stomach did summersaults. He broke away and Kairi let out a sigh as if her heart had just melted in her chest.

Kairi blushed and for once, she was at a loss for words.

Fred frowned. Oh no. His mind went into overdrive thinking of all the things he could have done wrong. The mood wasn't romantic enough. He was a terrible kisser. He kissed her too soon. His breathe still smelled like garlic from dinner.

Those thoughts vanished as soon as Kairi started to giggle. "Did you do all this just for a kiss?"

Fred blushed and turned away. "I wanted our first kiss to be special, something you would never forget. And I know how much romantic moments mean to you. I didn't want to disappoint you."

Kairi continued to giggle and shake her head. "Disappoint me? Fred, you didn't need to do all this for our first kiss. Not that it wasn't amazing or anything, but if you had just randomly kissed me in the hallway at school, I would've been happy."

"Really?" Fred stared at her in disbelief. "I just assumed you wanted some spectacular moment to tell all your girl friends about and something you could always look back on with a smile. I always have this urge to give you the best, because you deserve the best."

"I can look back on any moment with you and I'd smile." Kairi kissed him again. This time it was Fred's turn to let out a surprised moan. "And I have the best boyfriend in the world, I don't need anything else."

Fred beamed. "Well in that case, I'll just have to return this." He held out a small, white box and slowly opened it to reveal a golden necklace with a matching gold tiara pendant with three rose pink tourmaline gemstones on each point.

Kairi gasped. "It's gorgeous."

Fred slowly put the necklace on her. "Tourmaline is your birthstone, right? And I know you like pink, and I chose the tiara because you're my princess. And I-"

Kairi cut off his rant with another kiss. "I love it."

"I love you." The words slipped out of Fred's mouth before he could stop them. His bodied stilled and his heart stopped.

"I love you too." Kairi twirled her new necklace in her fingers and smiled at Fred.

Fred's bodied slowly thawed and his mouth spread open in a huge grin. He pulled her in close and held her tight, never wanting to let go or ruin this moment. They both let out a twitterpated sigh and watched the sun finish its descent over the horizon.

A/N - This was a request from Writer25. She wanted me to write out Kairi and Fred's first kiss. I'm planning on giving all my couples little one-shots like this, so those should be coming up soon! I hoped you liked this. It's fun to write fluff-filled one-shots every now and then.

If you enjoyed, a review and a favourite would be very much loved. Thanks for reading!
