[Ficlet] Hitman Reborn - Kataomoi - 1896
Thankfully Chrome Dokuro was already inside. Watching the rain, she hears him enter the room. Dressed to impress, donning the traditional black suit they all wore, somehow he pulled it off better then the other Famiglia members, except for maybe one other. He adjusts his tie but inadvertently bends his pristine white collar under. Chrome smiles walking over to fix the small bend. He looks away as she draws close to him, but does not recoil.
Straightening the collar, she retightens the tie and finally brings the suit jacket over the top, again fixing any creases that might occur. She steps back. He gives no words of thanks, simply walks over grabbing a ring box that holds his tonfas. She watches him knowing what he is about to embark on. He, who never admits being part of this family, will single-handily try to buy as much time as needed to let the others do what needs to be done. He, who still gets that mad rush when under attack, will fight whatever comes through that door at him, alone. Always alone.
"You should go." he finally speaks to her. It is not a demand, simply a statement, almost a request, which she knows is true.
She wants to reach out, hold him, tell him to be safe, to come back...to her. However, now is not the time for such things. Besides she knows this is all one-sided.
Forcing a small smile she nods trying to ignore the uneasiness rising in her heart. For a brief moment their eyes lock. His still cold and unforgiving but she sees beyond this now. She now sees what the other Famiglia members do not. She sees him and that is all she can ask for at this moment.
Author's Notes:
Honestly I really wanted to make this longer but sadly I couldnt think of anything else to add without making it sound repetitive and bad XD.
Funny how hearing a single word can spark creativity. I was watching Junjou Romantica and Usgai-san says "Kakaomoi" and boom 1896 fict popped into my head hence the title. Hopefully the title fits the fict, as stated many time I hate coming up with titles. Also fits today's theme over at 31_days.
Weird thing is Im working on another 1896 fict at the moment (another bad attempt at smut) its coming along but giving me probs since I fail at writing smut. This could almost been seen as a prequel to it but considering the mood/mindset of the characters is a bit different in my other one, Im not sure.
Anyways comments always welcome. Hope some ppl liked my little attempt at bringing more 1896 so the world of KHR.
