A/N: So, sorry I didn't update sooner but eh, my life is getting hectic again guys! XD To be honest, I don't know when this series will end but, it's just something I like to do on a whim and when I feel like writing something without a complicated plot but if you like it, I appreciate some reviews :) Thanks to Yui, uniquemangalover and KHRlover for the reviews!

I know this isn't as good or fluffy but it was stress-relief, so I just put down what came into mind.

Dictionary definitions are from Longman which I don't own but do get a copy, it's a good dictionary.


Gale – (n) – A very strong wind

Her first time in Italy had been a breath-taking experience. All the medieval structures, the rocky pavement, the stalls of fruits, vegetables and various trinkets, the well-dressed men and women… She had taken in everything as if it was a fountain of information continuously pouring out. On her second day, she'd decided to wear a simple, white sundress and topped her head with a light brown sun-hat decorated with yellow, printed flowers circling around.

Vongola was on a cruise ship, both for business purposes and leisure. She'd been out on the deck with the other girls, her sitting on a sunbathing chair, though hiding from the sun under a huge multi-colored umbrella with Bianchi laying down on another chair to her right. The rest of the girls were swimming around the deck pool, enjoying their own time.

"How are you and my brother?"

Akane's head snapped towards the right at the sudden question, her surprise apparent by her eyes widening a little and blinking before answering. "Oh, um… Quite good." Bianchi was a good person and friend, she had her downsides like everyone else did but Akane appreciated her every step of the way.

"It's a wonder he settled for you." Akane looked away from her with a small frown, wondering what her words really meant. That she wasn't good enough? That he deserved better? She was snapped out of her thoughts, however, when Bianchi had realized that she'd worded her sentence quite poorly. "I didn't mean it like that, what I meant was…" There was a slight wind that disturbed both of their hair, swaying lightly against their cheeks.

"What I meant was I never thought Gokudera would get married." A familiar heat started to creep up on Akane's cheeks. They weren't married, nor were they engaged yet, but they'd stuck with each other for quite an amount of time. "U-Uhh… We're not really, you know, married yet. I don't think we plan to anytime soon." She sheepishly answered which gained slight laughter from her lover's sister.

"Two years is as good as forever for my brother, if you ask me." Akane relaxed, noting that the whole time they'd been talking she was rather tense, always afraid that Bianchi would disapprove of whatever relationship she had with Gokudera but it had been the complete opposite. Akane smiled a little at the statement and said no more, just watching the ship surge forward and listened to the sea gulls above them.

The wind intensified, doing more than ruffling her hair. It picked up her light, sun-hat and twirled it around in mid-air, startling her a little and making her chase after it as it flew towards the direction of the railings, dropping on the polished floor only to be whisked away again by another bout of wind. The next thing she knew, the sun-hat had flew out of range, over the railings of the ship and down into the water below.

She pressed her hands on the railings, tip-toeing a little and looked down at the waters with a small frown, the hat tumbling on the waves for a few seconds before it tumbled out of sight. "What are you doing there?" The voice was a sort of urgent one, grabbing her wrist, causing her to come back down flat on her feet. She smiled at the somewhat angry looking Gokudera who had his hand on her wrist "Don't go so near there." He scoffed, taking his hand away and stepping back from her.

From where he was once standing, coming out of a room used for the meeting and walking over towards the deck where he knew she'd be, it looked as if she was ready to jump over the railings and off the ship. That was nonsense though, she'd never do such a thing but the sight of it still tinged his chest with alarm. "I was just trying to get the hat back." She said, touching her head now and feeling as if something was missing and incomplete.

Gokudera sighed and glared at her again, "It's just a hat, I'll get you another one." She smiled again and nodded, Gokudera's face finally dropping into normalcy instead of his pissed one, muttering a sort of complaint under his breath. "I wasn't going to jump, you know." She teased lightly, knowing that the Storm guardian was aware but she herself was aware that he had been worried.

"Of course I know!" He half-shouted and turned away from her, stomping off to the direction of his room, leaving Akane giggling a little to herself.
