Chrome
has
bounded out of the Hibari household and is making her way toward the Sawadas. She's not really sure what made her go there, only that had to
Chrome
was
greeted at the door by the boss' mom, who told her Yamamoto had just fetched him earlier and they were off to somewhere in a hurry
wondered if they were headed to where Kyouya was too. She asked if Mukuro-sama went with them.
"Iie, Mukuro hasn't been out of his room all day" Sawada Nana said. "He didn't come down for breakfast or lunch"
Chrome
is
now making her way up the stairs and paused just outside of Mukuro's room. "Mukuro-sama?" She knocked. "May I come in please?"
slid off the windowsill at the sound of Chrome's voice, plastering a smile on his face as he headed over to open the door.
Mukuro
asks
Oya? ... What brings you here, Chrome? ^_^
Mukuro
hopes
Chrome doesn't notice how tired he looks. He hasn't slept much the night before,
--there was too many thoughts running through his head. ... And Tsuna seems to be really angry with him.
Mukuro
wonders
if he had gone too far this time. ;w;
would apologize, but he wasn't sure how. He doesn't even know if Tsuna would listen to him.
... Even if he did, he might end up messing up and make things worse.
, of course, noticed how tired he looked. She thought there was a reason she suddenly felt... unsettled earlier, maybe that was it.
Chrome
says
I wanted to see you, Mukuro-sama. Is... everything okay?
Mukuro
says
Oh course it is. ^__^ Why do you ask?
frowns. "... you don't look okay, Mukuro-sama" she insisted. She thinks she's bad for ignoring him while she was with the Hibaris
Chrome
asks
if he and the boss fought last night
considered denying, but he figured Chrome would find out sooner or later anyway.
sighed, nodding his head slightly. "... But it's nothing to worry about, we'll be fine."
--Or at least that's what he hopes.
Chrome
is
still frowning. To the best of her knowledge, the boss only protested Mukuro-samas, erm, shenanigans towards him.
If something got Mukuro-sama worried last night, the boss might have done something... opposite.
Chrome
says
... I'm just here if you need any help, Mukuro-sama. You know that.
felt like she was of little use to him now, since he was free and is now with the boss constantly
patted the top of Chrome's head lightly. "... Don't worry about it. I'm fine. ^__^"
Chrome
thinks
that... he will be. But the doubts haven't gone away. They've never gone away. She meant to ask while he finally recovered his memory...
Chrome
thinks
that since she was here now, she just might as well ask him.
Chrome
says
Can I ask you something, Mukuro-sama?
Mukuro
says
Go ahead. ^_^
Chrome
is
now starting to twist the mist ring on her finger nervously. She felt like shrinking into the floor and disappearing altogether
Chrome
asks
What... what are your plans for me now? I, I mean, you're free now, and you're with the boss... is there... is there...
Chrome
wants
to ask if she still had any use to him, but it wouldn't come out... right.
reached out, pulling Chrome into a hug. "I still need you, Chrome. ... If that's what you're worried about."
Mukuro
says
... I may be free now, but that doesn't mean it will stay like this forever. You never know what will happen tomorrow.
grips the back of his shirt. "... please don't say that, Mukuro-sama. I... I won't allow anything to happen to you ever again! I swear!"
Chrome
is
someshow, somewhat assuaged by that, but that still did'nt explain the... feeling gnawing at her insides...
... doesn't answer. He just ran his fingers through the girl's hair lightly.
still had things she'd like to ask him, but is contenting herself with staying in his arms right now. "... thank you, Mukuro-sama."
pulled away after a while and smiled down at Chrome. "Anything else?"
shakes her head. "Iie. Nothing else. Except... um, could I stay here for a bit? I want to see the boss too."
Mukuro
says
Certainly. ^__^ You're always welcomed here.
smiles and gives him a kiss on the cheek. "Will we see if the boss has come home then?"
blinked. "Ah... Why don't you go ahead? I... have something I need to do..."
... wasn't sure if Tsuna wanted to see him now, anyway.
tilts her head to one side. "I don't think the boss can stay mad for long, Mukuro-sama. Are you sure? He'll want to see you, I think"
stops though, and decides not to push the matter any further. Maybe Mukuro-sama will get his chance later, after she's left. She nods.
Chrome
says
I'll go out and see if he's come back then.
Chrome
gives
Mukuro-sama's hand a tight squeeze, and makes her way out of his room, closing the door softly behind her.
sighed deeply after Chrome left, letting the smile drop from his face as he walked over to sit on the bed.
closed his eyes, leaning back against the headboard.
