Chapter 4: Epilogue

Alaude soon cried himself to sleep on Daemon's shoulder. The Mist gently lifted the Cloud and laid him on his bed, tucking him in. A sorrowful gaze was pasted on Daemon's face as he watched at the seemingly peaceful Alaude sleep, like he usually did back in those days… but he now knew how much the Cloud hurt inside.

It pained the Primo Mist Guardian to know that he was the cause of the hurt.

An hour passed, and Daemon knew it was time he returned to the Vongola Headquarters. As he shifted, about to stand, he suddenly felt a tug at his hand. "Don't go…" Alaude whispered, words slurred from sleep.

"I will return tomorrow night, Alaude," Daemon murmured back.

"Promise?"

" 'Promise'? Aren't you a bit too old for that?" Daemon sighed exasperatedly.

"…Please…?"

Daemon nearly melted on the spot at the puppy-dog expression the currently-uncharacteristic Cloud gave him. "Fine. I promise," he muttered in embarrassment at their childish antics.

Alaude nodded contently at the reply (and inwardly smirked at how his "new strategy" could make Daemon do whatever he wanted).

Just as Daemon was about to disappear, however, he abruptly turned and gently placed his lips on the skylark's. Though shocked at first, Alaude slowly responded, deepening the kiss.

Their tender kiss soon broke apart and now, Daemon was really going to leave. "Until tomorrow night then…" the Mist Guardian softly murmured as he faded into thin air…

~Owari~…?

AN: And here is the COUGH-omake-cough... ;)


Omake

"And that, Vongola Decimo, is how my family's Mist and Cloud Guardians got together, albeit after our family broke up."

Sawada Tsunayoshi could only nod in reply as his great-great-great grandfather explained the complexes of the Tenth Vongola Mist and Cloud Guardians' current make out session on the meeting table. Thankfully neither Hibari Kyoya nor Rokudo Mukuro was progressing to the next stage…

Yet.

Meanwhile, the other Guardians' reactions ranged from the need to go the bathroom and puke (courtesy of the Storm Guardian) to plain shock (like Tsuna and the female Mist Guardian). Of course, there were some that were cheering the duo on as well, for example, the extreme Sun and ever-happy Rain…

"Mm~ now where have I seen this before…?" Tsuna and Giotto turned to see two flames appear and reveal a pleased-looking blue watermelon head and very flustered blond skylark.

"Ah, Daemon, Alaude. I was just explaining to Decimo here why his once-rivals Mist and Cloud Guardians are currently preoccupied," Giotto smiled softly.

"Uh… so I see…" Alaude faintly murmured.

"No need to be embarrassed…" Daemon seductively whispered, and licked Alaude's ear (to the growing horror of both Vongola Primo and Decimo), "Let's show them how it's done~" With that, the Primo Mist Guardian tackled the Primo Cloud Guardian to the ground…

From then on, Tsuna never saw Hibari and Mukuro the same way again.
