Holy water, he found out along time ago, stings. Its not just a painful burn, but long, long afterwards, it leaves this residue on it that just stings for a good week or four after. He always tried to avoid getting with splashed it. Because, well, it hurt.
So, of course since he tried to avoid the holy water like the plague, he was repeatedly splashed the with cursed liquid.
Chrno looked up at Rosette, with a rather large gaudy grin playing upon her face, as she happily bandaged up his wounded hand with her rough, callused hands.
It hurt. Of course it did. And of course, Chrno couldn't help but wince every time she dragged her hand across the chafed skin.
"You silly goose, you," Rosette said looking up into his wide ruby eyes.
"It hurts, Rosette… couldn't you be a little bit… easier?" the boy replied with her comment, again wincing at the onslaught of hard fingers grazing over the singed flesh. He had almost, almost forgotten how much he hated holy water.
She smiled down at him, her grin toning itself down just a bit, "Well, Chrno, you're the one who decided that you should start cleaning out the weapon's area."
He let a half growl escape from his throat, starting to feel annoyed with the whole situation, "Well, its not like anyone else would have cleaned it out anytime soon."
She grinned down at him again, finishing up her handy work. She felt quite accomplished looking down at his hand, she's finally mastered getting the fingers wrapped properly. But the boy held a very sour expression still.
"Oh come on, Chrno, get over it. It'll heal in a bit and then it'll be back to normal. Just give it a few weeks!" Rosette said rather cheerful, feeling herself be in the best of moods she's been in in a long time.
He let out a loud sigh as he slowly caressed the bandaged hand. The girl rolled her eyes upon hearing how he intends to keep his sour mood, and probably attempt to ruin hers. He's done it once before, she reminds herself idly.
Rosette lets out a loud huffing sound, spins on her heels and turns a cold expression towards Chrno, "Really, what's crawled up and laid eggs on your brain! You're being a whiny little kid!"
His yes turned to look up at her, growing cold, "You make it sound like its my duty to always just be happy and hyper! Seriously, Rosette, right now I'm just not in a good mood."
"Well, ain't that obvious." She snorted back, placing her hands on her hips. For a long moment, both of them were locked in a dark stare down.
But soon, Rosette couldn't keep herself from cracking a smile. Chrno's miffed expression was probably one of the most amusing and adorable things she had ever seen coming from him. A giggle escaped from her, which soon turned into a full about sail of laughter. She bent over and hugged her stomach, laughing at the way his face looked when he was so trying to show anger and failing miserably.
The boy blinked at her, confused as to what might have started this array of a laughing fit. But she couldn't stop herself, "Oh my Lord… Chrno.. you are so… cute when you look.. like that" she sputtered threw her laughter.
He straightened himself up, unsure how to take the words. Be it a compliment or mockery? Sometimes he could never tell with Rosette. Her words always took on a different meaning which ever way you looked at them. But seeing her doubled over in the pains of laughter all because of him made his mouth tug at a smile.
And before he knew it, he was laughing with her. Hand, pain, and holy water completely forgotten. It was just him laughing at her for laughing at him.
One of those kinds of moments that you cherished later on when you're caught in a situation where there is no light anymore.
And weeks from then, Chrno could not for the life of him, remember exactly what had pissed him off at that moment… and probably never will…
Well, until his next run in with holy water…
