Valentine's Day OHC style

Dino looked at Tsuna and then Reborn.

“Has the 9th arrived yet? I need to pay my respects to him and deliver something to him,” Dino said, touching his suit jacket lightly.

“I last saw him over there,” Tsuna said pointing to a crowd of people.

Dino nodded and took Chero’s arm again. He led her through the crowds of people and kept going until he found the 9th. Chero was surprised at how old he was and how gentle the look on his face was, like a grandpa rather than a Mafia boss. But of course how could she be surprised when the only other Mafia boss she knew was Dino.

“Ah, 10th Cavallone, Dino,” Timoteo greeted shaking his hand, “It’s great to see you again, and who is this lovely lady with you?”
“Chero Aoyama, my girlfriend,” Dino said.

Chero curtsied.

“It’s an honor to meet you, “Chero said.

Dino slipped an envelope over to Timoteo.

“Sorry I could not get that to you sooner…” Dino said.

Chero stared off into the distance while the pair chatted a while longer.
Chero’s eyes stopped on a girl with long black hair, dressed in purple. Next to her was a girl with short brown hair, dressed in black. It had to be the jet-lag…there was no way…the two girls turned towards Chero.

“LUNA AND KIRA?!” Chero cried, surprising both Dino and Timoteo.

Chero slipped out of Dino’s arms and hurried over to her two friends. They both hugged Chero, careful not to mess up her outfit and hair.

“What are you two doing here?” Chero asked.

“I told you…” Luna said with a smirk, “I’m the leader of a mafia group.”

Chero stared at Luna.
“No offense, but I didn’t ACTUALLY believe you…”she said.

Luna pouted.

“That hurts Cherrios!” Luna said covering her mock wounded heart.

“Where are your bishies?” Chero asked, looking around.

“Gin is sleeping and Ichigo….wandered off a few hours ago,” Kira said.

Chero nodded. Dino walked over and placed his arm around Chero.

“And there is yours right now.” Luna said, “Hello Dino~”

“Hello Luna, Kira,” he greeted.

Chero yawned. Dino looked at her and smiled.

“We should probably go, someone is a little jetlagged,” Dino said.

Chero shook her head.
“I’m fine.”

“Bella…” Dino started.

“Go on Chero, you should get some sleep so you will be all rested up for site seeing tomorrow!” Luna said, with a sparkle in her eyes.

Chero looked at Dino and sighed.

“Alright…But only if you don’t have anyone else to greet.”

“I’ve already met with all the important people, staying any longer would not do anything. Besides, I made my appearance and that is all that is expected of me,” he said with a lazy grin.

“Then you two go.” Kira said, “If anyone is looking for you we will tell them where you went, ok?”

Dino nodded.
“Thank you.”

Chero fell asleep on her way back to the mansion, so Dino carried her up to her bed. He carefully placed her down and kissed her forehead.
“Sleep well, Amore.”

He turned off the lights and left her room quietly. He sighed and walked back to his office where all that paper work was waiting for him.
