The First Generation of Romance

1. The First Time We Met

Giotto looked up at the bright blue sky, and smiled. The weather was perfect for the meeting today. The Vongola were going to meet for the first time, and he had a particularly good feeling about his right hand man, G, since they were already acquainted. Finally, he was going to create a family of Mafia that were set apart from the rest. A family of people who seeked to help society.

"G! You're early!" Giotto announced as he stepped into the room and saw his second in command. The red-haired male stood up, and walked over to his boss, smiling brightly.

"Boss! Er- of course!" G said, blushing lightly. "I wouldn't miss this meeting for the world."

Giotto patted the other man's shoulder. "Thanks, G. You're always there for me." The two grinned at one another, and took a moment to embrace, as friends do. "Think we can pull it off? A Mafia family of... heros?"

"Heh. Yeah. I think... together... we can do anything, Giotto," he replied, his eyes shining with loyalty.

The founder of the Vongola chuckled, then went to sit at the table, adjusting the collar of his shirt as he did so. He sat down, and folded his hands on the table, before starting to spin his watch around his wrist as a nervous habit. "Come, sit," he offered to his friend, pulling out a chair. G did so immediately, and the two of them waited for the other guardians to arrive.

A man named Asari Ugetsu entered the building first, and smiled to see the two at the table. "Giotto and... G?" he guessed.

"Yes. Are you the flute player who signed up for the Rain position?" Giotto asked. "Asari Ugetsu?"

The man placed a flute on the table, smiling. "I love music," he said. "But... I know that I may one day have to choose between it and something more important."

"We'll try to avoid that point," Giotto replied. "I don't want anyone to get hurt in any way of my doing."

Soon after, a green-haired male who called himself 'the awesome Lampo,' as well as the Sun guardian 'Knuckle' showed up. At that point there were only two more guardians that had yet to arrive. "All right, everyone! Please, settle down!" Giotto called, waving his hand for silence. Asari Ugetsu played a high note on his flute when no one quieted. Once he stopped playing, everyone was quiet, and the Rain guadian placed his flute in his lap. "Okay," Giotto began, "Thanks, Ugetsu-kun. The only ones who have yet to show up are Alaude and Daemon Spade, so let's just wait for them to arrive. Meanwhile, let's discuss the purpose of the family. We are going to become a Mafia family called Vongola- yes, Lampo?"

The youngest man put his hand down, and said, "Does this require work?"

A couple around the table chuckled, and Giotto sighed. "Yes, Lampo, but if you have a problem with that, I don't see where you're going to find a job anywhere." The Lightning guardian looked mildly offended, but Giotto wanted to get back on track. "We're going to be helping people in this organization, and we're going to become a Mafia family like no other!"

"Here here!" shouted Knuckle, uppercutting the air.

"Excuuuse me?"

Everyone turned to see a man at the door, with a girl who was cuddled up close to him. The man was tall, his hair was dark blue, pulled back into a short ponytail. His eyes were a soft, denim color. She had long, blonde hair, sky-blue eyes, and was dressed formally. "Ah! Daemon Spade and Alaude?" Giotto said, even though he was mildly suprised that Alaude was a woman. The two chuckled, and the man shook his head.

"I'm Daemon Spade. This is my girlfriend, Elena," he said.

"Oh, my utmost apologies, Elena," Giotto said, rubbing the back of his head with embarassment.

"It's quite all right," she said, her eyes soft. Giotto could see what Spade must've seen in her, but this meeting was meant exclusively for the guardians.

"No, uh... well, I'm sorry, Daemon Spade, but she'll have to wait outside," Giotto said, looking hopeful for the idea of the new Mist guardian doing as he asked. "This is private, you know?"

Daemon frowned. "Oh," he said, looking at her. "Are you all right with that, El?"

"Oh, yes," Elena replied, "I wouldn't want to interfere with your work, dear." Elena then walked out of the room, and Daemon took a seat at the table, joining in the discussion. It was only a few moments later that Alaude walked in. He was a tall, blonde man, his eyes blue, and his skin was pale. As he walked in, his coat flowed behind him as gracefully as a cape. He sat down beside Daemon, and the meeting officially began.

"All right! Now that we're all together, let's get to know one another," Giotto said, his deep, orange eyes as soft as a cool flame. "All though... my Hyper Intuition tells me that many of you have secrets that you will not be sharing."

"What's Hyper Intuition?" Asari asked, smiling.

"It's Giotto's amazing instinct!" G spoke up. "Giotto can guess something, and ninety-five percent of the time, he's right!"

"How does he do that?" Spade questioned, looking a little nervous. G made a face as though the answer was obvious.

"Duh. He's just that smart!" he said.

"Haha, please, everyone, it's not that special," the leader cut in. "Sure, it's pretty handy, but it's not a big deal. I'm sure there's a lot of people with it."

"No way, boss, it's a special ability," G announced. "I don't mean to be disrespectful, but if you ever make yourself less important than you really are again, I'm going to beat you up."

Giotto smiled. "All right, G. Anyway, let's just introduce ourselves first. My name is Giotto, and I'm informally titled 'Vongola Primo' for obvious reasons. My favorite animal is a lion." He then gestured to his right-hand man.

"Name's G, boss occassionally calls me 'Bull's Eye,' and I find that I'm a real jerk to people who I don't know very well."

Asari Ugestu spoke up next. "Call me Asari, I'm known as the flutesman, but I play about four different kinds of instruments."

"I'm the awesome Lampo, known as the guy who cleans the toilets, and I've always wanted to just turn into a lightning bolt so that I can do little work for a lot of product."

"My name's KNUCKLE, and I'm an extreme BOXER, and I enjoy any and everything to do with the aforementioned sport."

"I'm Daemon Spade, you can call me Spade, my girlfriend calls me Ace, and I enjoy reading books about betrayal and deciet."

"My name is Alaude. I'm gay, and I think that Spade is really sexy."

After Alaude spoke, the entire table fell silent. Everyone stared at Alaude, who had leaned back in his seat, refusing to look at anyone. "Uhm... Alaude, I have a girlfriend," Daemon said. "So... uhh..."

"I don't care," Alaude replied. "I had to say it." After an awkward paused, Giotto decided that he would try and ease the tension by admitting to something less manly.

"... I like roses!" Giotto announced.

"Er- I like cake!" G jumped in.

"I like the color pink. Reminds me of sushi," Ugetsu admitted.

"I like short skirts," Lampo said. There was another silence, in which Knuckle would've said this piece if he wasn't 'extremely masculine.'

"I like girls," Spade murmured.

"I like guys," Alaude said darkly.

"Off topic!" Giotto interrupted. "Back to the Vongola, okay? It's what we came here to discuss."

A murmur of agreement rose throughout the room, and everyone began to discuss why they were there, and what traits qualified them as good people. But Alaude didn't want to stray away from the topic. He wanted to touch Spade. He wanted to feel that smooth, pale skin beneath his fingers, entangle that dark blue hair in his hand and stroke through it, their lips glued as they embraced with the highest passions...

"What about you, Alaude?" Giotto asked.

"I'm very strong," the other blonde replied. "And fast. You may already know this, but I'm with the police force."

Giotto nodded in approval at Alaude not discussing his sexuality for the first time during the meeting. "Okay, that's good!" he said. "A police officer! You're already a true hero, so I'm honored."

"Well, for the most part, I just get guys in jail," Alaude muttered, holding up a pair of handcuffs. "You know... I'm that kind of cop."

Giotto glanced at Spade, his intuition telling him that the Mist guardian was growing uncomfortable, and he said, "Spade, if you want, we're more or less done with private conversation, so it's okay if Elena comes back in."

"Thank you," Spade said, getting up and speedwalking to the door. He opened it, and called in his girlfriend, then, when she entered, he relaxed, and smiled, wrapping his arms around her in a tender embrace. "I love you, El," he whispered.

"I love you too, Spade, but what brought this on?" she replied in an equally quiet voice. He glanced at Alaude, his eyes narrow, and the blonde man just looked away, putting his cuffs away.

As the two returned to the table, however, Alaude audibly said, "I will have you, Spade."

-End Chapter

:P Right after Silent Heartbeat, I'm startin' this. Hehe~ I've had it on my mind for a while to do a 1st generation fic, but idk how many chapters this will end up. I also don't know/remember a lot about the first gen. Vongolians, so I guess I'm just making up what I don't know. This is kinda AU anyway... just... character-wise... :)

Please review if you enjoy this so far!
