Under the Italian Sky
While Area 11 was still in chaos due to Euphemia's announcement of the establishment of a special zone for Japan, Noah and C.C were currently on the streets of Italy.
Noah stared at the reddened dusk sky, a warm orange color covering the old city before him. He inhaled the typical Italian aroma, a mixture of pasta being cooked and the scent of firewood from small restaurants scattered around Piazza Navona.
Every corner of this city exuded an unforgettable beauty. C.C stood beside him with a mysterious and graceful appearance. With a long dark dress that waved gently in the night wind, she looked like a queen who had just descended from the sky. The calm and powerful aura that surrounded her made many people around her unable to look away. Noah felt his heart pounding, not only because of C.C's beauty, but also because of the depth of her soul. As someone who had lived for hundreds of years, she certainly had a different aura from ordinary women, she showed an elegance that was difficult to understand.
"Why don't we get the best pizza here?" C.C's soft voice woke Noah from his reverie. Her mysterious smile made Noah's heart beat faster.
"Pizza? Of course. I know the perfect place," Noah replied. He took C.C.'s hand and led her down a cobblestone street lined with twinkling lights.
The atmosphere was lively, with laughter and chatter filling the air. They stopped at a small restaurant hidden behind a row of old buildings. The restaurant had a patio overlooking the street, decorated with green vines.
As they sat down, the waitress approached them with a friendly smile.
"C.C, what pizza would you like?" Noah asked as he opened the menu.
"Margherita, with arugula." C.C. nodded, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the selection of pizzas and answered in a soft but confident voice. Noah ordered two pizzas and a glass of the area's famous red wine.
When their pizzas arrived, the enticing aroma made Noah's stomach growl. They began to dig into their pizzas with all their might. C.C. seemed to be enjoying every bite, and Noah was happy to see her like that. These simple moments were so precious.
After eating, they walked along the winding streets, accompanied by the melodious sound of street music.
They stopped at a small bridge overlooking the Tiber River. The moon shone brightly, reflecting light off the calm water.
"C.C, if there's one thing I want to do right now, it's to make you feel as special as you make me feel." Noah reached for C.C's hand, holding it tightly.
"You already did, Noah. Just by being by my side, you make me feel alive."
C.C looked at Noah with deep eyes.
"Tonight, we can do whatever we want. I want to explore every corner of this city with you." Noah laughed softly, then turned his gaze towards the river.
"How about we go up Gianicolo Hill? From there, we can see the entire city," C.C suggested, her smile as if tempting Noah to follow her lead. After walking for a few minutes, they finally reached the top of the hill. The view that stretched out before them was breathtaking. The entire city of Rome looked sparkling under the moonlight.
Noah felt a sense of wonder as he watched C.C. standing on the edge of the hill, the wind playing with her hair, making her look like a goddess.
"C.C., you are an indescribable beauty," Noah whispered, approaching and hugging her from behind. C.C. didn't answer, but she turned and looked at Noah with eyes full of mystery. They moved closer to each other, and in an instant, their lips met. The kiss was soft yet passionate, as if igniting a fire that had long been buried in their hearts.
"I've always felt connected to you, Noah. As if we were meant to be together."
As they parted, C.C. sighed, her eyes sparkling.
Noah nodded, feeling the same thrill.
The night grew deeper, and the air grew colder. C.C. held Noah's hand, and without a word, they walked back to the hotel where they were staying. Each step brought them closer to the moment they had been waiting for. Inside the hotel room, the atmosphere was intimate. Small candles were lit, creating a warm glow that enveloped the room. Noah stared at C.C., feeling the tension that filled the air between them.
"C.C," Noah called her softly and reached for C.C's face with a gentle touch as if afraid of accidentally hurting her. C.C looked at Noah with a soft gaze. As Noah approached, they felt the tension growing in each other. C.C nodded, giving permission without saying a word. Noah hugged her tightly, their faces getting closer. That night, they found each other in an embrace full of love and passion.
In warmth and closeness, they shared each other, exploring every detail of each other. Noah felt his heartbeat buzzing, while
C.C. smiled sweetly, returning each touch gently. Her soft fingers touched Noah's cheek, making him shiver.
They were lost in infinite love, feeling each other's presence in a way that words could not express. In their embrace, time seemed to stop, and the world outside became blurry. With every touch, they wrote a love story that would be remembered forever, under the shining Italian sky.
