this world is cruel

@nebbiatempesta:  but you said lick (・_・ヾ

not. that kind of lick

Her lips part to reply until she remembers the rules of the game, so instead they curve into a small, sheepish smile. “Guilty,” is all she responds with. You just got to give him a chance, Hibari-san. He’s not all that bad underneath his dramatic ways and deliberate attempts at provoking. You know he only does it because you react so spectacularly? 

“Boss?” Her eye widened, focusing instead on the box under the ice cream as it shook and… mewled? She watched, awestruck as Tsuna pulled the small, precious kitten from the box, a small nagging thought in the back of her mind as she stared at it.

It’s Mukuro-sama…

She giggled at the thought, ignoring the small prick of curiosity that stirred in her conscience, but quickly pushing it away. She could surprise him later, now instead she accepts the cat from Tsuna and cradles it in her arms like it was the most precious thing in the world (it was). “Thank you, Tsuna. It means a lot to me.” She scratch the cat behind the ears, practically melting when it started vibrating with contentment.

( IT IS FATE. But all things serious I will try my best to be more active as things clear up within the next few weeks. I need to clear out my drafts and then I might post a starter call )

He always catches her off guard in the most surprising of ways, ways that she didn’t think she was deserving of and she has to wonder just how lucky she was to have been taken in by someone as kind as him. It was just a quiet moment between a Sky and his Mist, working over some paperwork while the other guardians were out on the prowl. Her breath hitches and her eye waters a little as she rubs at it desperately, touched by his sentiment.

It was moments like these that made everything worth it. That reminded her that she was valued.

“I wouldn’t be, if it wasn’t for you and Mukuro-sama.” She looks at Tsuna with a soft, grateful smile. Mukuro may have taught her how to live again, but Tsuna was the one who showed her how to care again and to be cared for, She reaches over and squeezed his hand. “Thank you for accepting me, Boss.”

It takes her more than a moment to respond, head bowed and gaze distant as it passes over the carnage before them, not quite seeing what was there. She grips her trident in a tight fist, holding it protectively in front of her body as a barrier between her and everything else. Chrome took a shuddering breath and slowly lowered her trident now that the danger had passed, blinking as she turned her lone violet eye to the tall, lean figure in front her - the only other living person in the room. “Maybe they were, but they chose this path knowing the potential consequences. Just like we did.” She likes to think she hid the faint tremor in her voice well, but somehow with the way his heterochromatic gaze pierced her knowingly, she knows she’d been found out. 

She couldn’t hide from him, he knew her too well.

So she pauses and starts again. “If it was them or us, I would still do it all over again.” Maybe it sounded like an excuse, something to justify the senseless violence. Long ago it would have shaken her to the core to know she was capable of it, but now she had seen far too many of those she cared for hurt because they didn’t act. Chrome would do anything for them. “Besides,” she finishes on a lighter note, leaning against her weapon as she regards him, “It’s a little too late for me to regret this. You should know I won’t be scared off so easily.”

For better or for worse, they’d been through too much, seen too many things together. She was in it for the endgame, and for him she would gladly corrupt her soul.
