CHAPTER 1- Valentine's Day Planning
Tsuna's POV
It's been 3 weeks since Giotto's birthday celebration and everything turned to normal...well not actually normal. Right now, Hayate and G are having something like a date (both went to a weapon store to buy something for each other), Mukuro and Viole are bonding through training (if you consider that a date), the others are thankfully having a normal date.
Giotto and I on the other hand is stucked doing paperworks in the HQ. We decided to give the others a break before Valentine's Day because as what Giotto and the other guys said, it will be a hectic one.
I was already sorting through the last pile of paperworks when suddenly the door opened and a casually dressed boyfriend of mine entered my office.
"Pray to tell me why you are dressed like that Giotto?" I said and look at him. "You're supposed to be doing your paper works"
Giotto looked at me with pleading eyes and pouted. Really, sometimes he acts like a kid.
"But I'm tired...can we go outside and take a break", Giotto said and I can't help but sigh and signed the last paper.
"Alright, however you have to promise me to finish all of your paperworks today", I said and Giotto gave me a nod. "Wait here, I'll just change for a short while"
After going in my bedroom, I then began to look for a suitable attire for the day. I mean, this would be our first official date as lovers. For those three weeks, Giotto and I are alternating between paperworks and missions so we haven't got a lot of time together.
After a long 5 minutes, I decided to wear a white sleeveless knee length dress and an orange cardigan. After putting some things inside a small shoulder bag, I went outside just to see Giotto waiting there already.
"Beautiful as always Tsuna, you never fail to impress me"
"Shut up Gio, you never failed to impress me too"
"Haha, so shall we go on a date then Princess?" Giotto said and offered a hand towards me which I immediately accepted.
"We shall, my handsome Prince"
Alright, for our date, Giotto was the one who drove the simpliest and most common car, a black sedan (it's not simple, it's quite expensive)
We then decided to go to the Hobbyzoo Vittorio Veneto in Catania in order to see the beach and some fishes. During that time, a lot of girls decided to flirt with Giotto and I mean totally clinging to him. The good thing is Giotto politely dismisses them and held my hand.
"That's one of the things I hate whenever we have our date, girls are totally stalking you since 3 years ago"
"So someone here is jealous then"
"I'm not jealous...why should I be..." I nervously said and looked away from my smirking boyfriend.
"If you say so Tsuna", Giotto then said and ruffled my hair.
"So where are we going next?"
And our day ended with us accidentally meeting the other 5 couples inside a cake shop.
"Pleasure meeting all 10 of you here", Giotto said and we joined them on the table.
"Nice to see you too Giotto, so how's the date Tsuna, girls and boys are not stalking you right?" Daemon asked.
"Well, some talked to us and we talked with them for a short while then left", I replied.
"I see...to all 6 guys in here, we'd like to request all of you to move on another table", Elena said.
"Why? I was getting relaxed here" Lampo said.
"Well, we will be having an important girl meeting here so boys must go away", Rhea said and Lampo sadly went with the others on a farther table.
"So what are we going to talk about guys?" I asked and Elena gestured us to huddle together.
"Two days from now is the long awaited Valentine's Day...", Chrome said.
"As tradition, girls should give a chocolate to the boy she loves at that day", Arisa said.
"It's not a problem for us because we already have boyfriends", Laela.
"The greatest problem is...how to cook tasty homemade chocolates", Elena said.
"And so our plan is...you Tsuna must help us cook...training starts tomorrow", Rhea said and everyone nodded.
I sighed then accepted their plan. After a minute, my cellphone started to ring and the caller is no other than my beloved boyfriend.
"Tsuna, what are you talking over there...all of us are lonely you know", Giotto said and I then proceeded to ask Elena if the meeting is finished and she gave me a nod.
"Alright, Giotto you and the others can come back"
After a minute the 6 boys came back very tired bringing with them boxes of presents.
"So what happened there?" Rhea asked and all of them sighed.
"Girls came and gave us these things", Knuckles said.
"Well I'm not surprised, it's nearing Valentine's Day", Laela said.
"Why? What's with Valentine's Day for the boys?" I asked.
"That's right ,it's Tsuna's first time celebrating Valentines with us", Arisa said.
"Come here Tsuna I'll explain to you everything", Elena said and dragged me to the other side of the shop.
"Is it something to be nervous Elena-nee for you to drag me here?" I asked and Elena looked at me.
"This time of the year is the time wherein all male Vongola Guardians and Protectors are required to stay inside the mansion", Elena started to explain. "Every Valentine's day, hundreds and thousands of chocolates and gifts are given to them by females all around the world"
"I see, but what's scary with that?"
"That's because we will have a hard time deciding what to do with all the gifts and chocolates which almost filled the ballroom"
"That many?"
"Yup, last year we decided to bake chocolate cakes and gave them to the townspeople and members of the Vongola. So Tsuna you must be prepared this February 14, there will be a lot of female rivals"
Not knowing what to do, I just gave Elena a small nod then smiled.
"That's the spirit Tsuna"
As we went back to our table I suddenly got a vision...it's about some men of a rival family sitting inside the shop.
After that I looked around and saw that the only people left at the cake shop are us and the said 5 people.
This time I got another vision and it's a deserted area in the outskirts of Sicily.
"Guys, I'll just buy something okay, I'll be back", I said and ran out of the shop.
Giotto's POV
"What would Tsuna possibly want to buy?" I can't help but think as she ran out from the store.
After a minute, my head began to throb, and a seething pain can be felt on my head. I clutched my head and the others noticed my dilemma.
"Giotto, something wrong, are you not feeling well?" Arisa asked.
Nope, I'm fine but I think this headache is done by my Hyper Intuition. If I'm not mistaken, it's alerting danger which is at a very close proximity. I looked around the room and saw the situation only 2 groups of people are inside, us and a group of 5 men.
Bingo...I can't help but think. I'll have to do something before they start their plan.
The bad thing is, we are not wearing our Vongola and Arceo ? Because we promised each other to leave them whenever we go on dates. And I think I am beginning to discard that idea.
But the good thing is, we can still use flames even without the rings but we can only release half of our power. It's more than good enough to defeat those men.
On a whim I closed my eyes and summon an unnoticeable barrier to cover and shield us.
And as I predicted the men made their move after a few minutes by directing a gun at our direction. But of course it was deflected because of the shield I made
"What the...we never knew about this", a man said and we all stood up and went to our respective positions.
"You're either a very brave person or an idiot if you decided to attack us", I said and unleashed a small amount of Sky Flames and pointed it at their direction trapping them in a bubble thing.
"Just one move and they're done", Daemon said. "How pathetic"
"Hahaha, we are not only five, the boss of our family sent 300 men for this job", another man said. "They are going here now as we speak"
"No reinforcements are coming you know", a familiar voice said and Tsuna went inside the shop already in her HDWM. I see she brought her ring.
"What do you mean? They are stationed at the borders of Sicily. I already gave them a call so prepare yourselves", another man said and Tsuna gave a sigh.
"Oh, you mean these men", Tsuna replied and with a snap showed us an image of what happened at the said 300 men.
They are all lying on the ground, still alive but knocked out cold with burn marks and bruises on their body.
"What, you took out all of them..." the men yelled and Tsuna gave them a smile and summoned the Infinity Sword.
"You have guts to plan an attack against the Vongola", Tsuna said and pointed the sword towards the five men which are still inside the bubble.
"Put that down Tsuna, there's no need to do that", I said and walked towards her direction.
"But Giotto they..."
"Don't worry they never did anything to us, so it's alright now", I said and placed my hands on Tsuna's shoulder and she then let go of her HDWM.
"So what are you going to do with them?" Tsuna asked.
"I'm sure a certain Viole and Kyoya would want to have a talk with them", I stated and all of us laughed. "Let's go home guys"
Tsuna's POV
The next day came and as I promise the other girls, I'll be teaching them how to make chocolate. I then made my way to the dining room and saw everyone already seated.
"Morning Tsuna..." Giotto was the first one who greeted me.
"Morning Hime-sama", Hayate said.
Everyone started to greet me and I greeted them in return and went to my seat. We then began to eat breakfast.
"Oh yeah, announcement no males are allowed to go to the private kitchen", Elena said.
"And pray tell us why we are not allowed in the kitchen?" G said.
"That's because, we are going to have a lesson with Tsuna there. Right Tsuna?" Arisa said.
"Yup, and besides you have to deal with the deliveries outside right", Hayate said.
"Okay, we're done girls let's all go to the kitchen now", Elena said and stood up. The others followed next and Giotto poked me.
"So what's the reason why you are going to the kitchen"
"We already told you Giotto, we're going to have a lesson there, cooking lessons to be exact", I said and stood up too. "And if you ever use that Hyper Intuition of yours to know what we are doing, I'll go back to Japan and return after a year"
When I said that Giotto became silent and I chuckled.
"We'll be going then Giotto", I said and kissed Giotto on the cheek.
At the kitchen, we all started to wear aprons and begin to gather the ingredients.
" So what are you going to make for the boys?" I asked and everyone gave me different answers.
"Chocolate truffle for G", Hayate said.
"Chocolate tart for Takeshi", Arisa said.
"Chocolate brownies for Knuckles", Laela said.
"Milk Chocolate Balls for Lampo", Rhea said.
"Dark Chocolate for Kyoya", Chrome said.
"Chocolate Fondue for Mukuro", Viole said.
"Well...just a normal chocolate with caramel filling for Daemon", Elena said.
"Tsuna what are you going to make for Giotto?" Arisa asked.
"It's a secret", I replied and winked.
We consumed the whole day and ended at 6PM for the cooking. Let's say that we need to do it again and again because there are always mistakes. We place everything in the refrigerator wherein we placed a seal so that no one can open it.
"That was hard..." Laela said and we made our way to the dining room.
"Yup, never thought making a simple chocolate is so hard", Chrome said.
We opened the dining room and can't help but widen our eyes and laugh with the sight we've seen.
"Was it just me or did the amount you received tripled?" Elena said between giggles and the boys gave her a glare.
"This is not all, the ballroom is filled already so we stacked the others here", G said and we all became silent then laughed again.
The room was filled with piles of wrapped gifts placed all over the room. I decided to take one and read the message placed.
"Roses are red, violets are blue, I know we are fated together, so let's marry each other. Marry me Giotto di Vongola", I read aloud and Giotto blushed.
I picked another one and read the message again.
"Your blonde hair serves as my light, your blue eyes is as dark as night, I love how your smile illuminates my life, I hope you'll choose me as your wife. Love you Decimo"
"Tsuna stop reading that..."Giotto said and I crouched down to look at the other messages. As expected, it is really written with confessions of love to the boys of the Vongola.
'If only I can make something like that too', I can't help but thought.
'You have already written something like that, in song format though' Sheila said and I just sighed.
I then went to my seat and began to get lost in my own world of planning what to do for my Valentine's gift for Giotto. I never knew I was spacing until a hand was placed in front of my face.
"Tsuna you okay?" Giotto said and placed his hand near his plate.
"Ah...yeah I'm alright", I said and begin to place a small portion of food on my plate. 'It's Valentine's tomorrow, what should I do'
"Everyone, can I go to my room now?" I said and everyone stopped eating.
"Is something wrong Hime-sama, are you not feeling well?" Hayate said and I shrugged.
"I just want to be alone and think for a while, can I Giotto?" I said and looked at Giotto who gave me a worried smile.
"Alright, but if you don't feel well, just tell me okay", he said and I immediately went out of the room.
When I went inside my room I plopped directly on my bed and buried my face on the people.
"I wonder I should do for tomorrow, it's our second Valentine's Day as couple. The first one was three years ago.
Flashback:
"Yasu, what are we doing this February 14?" I asked my boyfriend while we are at the school rooftop.
"Well, actually I cannot go out at Valentines", Ieyasu answered and I pouted.
"Yasu, that's mean it's Valentine's Day so we should go on a date", I said and Ieyasu sighed.
"Alright, alright, we'll have a date but I have to be in disguise so no one can recognize me"
"Okay, but why, do you have a phobia for Valentine's Day?"
"It's not that I don't like it, every year hundreds of chocolates and gifts are given to me that is why I really don't like to go out", Ieyasu replied.
"I see, so we should avoid crowded places then", I said. "Let's go out to the park"
"If that's going to make you happy then I'll guess we'll go there"
February 14 arrived and both Ieyasu and I went to the park and had a small picnic.
"Oh, yeah here by the way, Happy Valentine's Day Ieyasu", I said and handed a small gift wrapped box to Ieyasu.
"Thank you Tsuna", Ieyasu said and immediately opened the gift.
The box contains a heart shaped normal chocolate designed with swirls of white and dark chocolate.
"Hope you like it Yasu, it's my first time making a chocolate so I don't know if it really tastes good", I said and Ieyasu just smiled and took a bite.
"It's delicious...thank you so much", Ieyasu said and continued to eat up all the chocolate. After five minutes he extended a hand towards me.
"Let's go somewhere fun", Ieyasu said and I accepted his hand.
"But what about the crowd and the chocolates given to you?"
"Well I guess I'll have no choice but Tsuna's chocolate will forever be my favorite", Ieyasu said and we both smiled.
Now what should I do for a change?
'Sheila, what did you do anyway for your first Valentine's with Aeris?'
'Want to see?' Sheila replied and I was immediately pulled into something like a vortex.
