Title: Forever Loyal
Author: Starcalista
Fandom: Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Pairing: Mukuro Rokudo+Chrome Dokuro
Prompt: Shame (Synonyms: Disgrace, Embarrassment, Dishonor, Humiliation, Indignity, Antonym of Pride – According to MW)
Word Count: 528
Rating: K+ (to be on the safe side)
Summary: Mukuro-sama has been out for more than two days now and Chrome is depressed. 6996.
Warnings: Probably very OOC. My first time writing them both, so still getting the hang of their characters, well, more like Chrome's since this one is Chrome-centric.
Notes: Written for 10-hurt-comfort livejournal community for the General #4 table. I've always wanted to write about them as their 'relationship' in KHR has always intrigued me, but had no idea what to write so I thought that by writing based on a prompt I would get inspiration but seems like it didn't work. I'm actually still not satisfied with this one but I decided to just put it out there and hopefully get feedback. So please review! Constructive criticisms are very much welcomed. ^_^

She shouldn't be feeling this way. She knows…she knows that she is just a tool to Mukuro-sama. She has accepted that since long ago.

But even so she just couldn't help these feelings coursing through her veins. She….likes…Mukuro-sama…very much. No matter what anyone tells her, there is no changing these feelings, maybe she would always feel this way. It doesn't matter what he does to her, it doesn't matter how he treats her, she would always, always be loyal to him. Because he was the first person to need her. He was the first person to show her kindness and warmth. He is also the person that has always been there to save her.

She touched her stomach where her illusion organs that she made are, where the illusion organs that he had made for her before was. Even though Mukuro-sama no longer made her organs, she could still feel that connection to him. So she knows…understands that no matter how deep she loves him, she might never be anything more than a piece for him. But for her, as long as she can be useful to him, as long as he needs her and as long as she can be by his side, that is alright for her.

She accepts this but she doesn't understand why these tears are falling from her eyes. Why there's still this deep pain in her chest. As she was crying she had unconsciously closed her eyes, ashamed for feeling like this, so she didn't realize that Mukuro-sama had awoken before feeling his hand on her cheek making her open her eyes in shock.

"Mukuro-sama!"

"Oya, oya….who made my cute Chrome cry?" he asks, while wiping her tears, wincing slightly from his movements.

"It's…it's nothing, Mukuro-sama…" she tells him, gathering all her courage just to hold his hand that was on her cheek wiping her tears, while the other wipes the tears from her eye, "I'm…I'm really glad that you finally woke up."

He raises an eyebrow at that, "How long have I been asleep?"

"More than two days. I was so worried."

"Kufufu…you didn't think I'd wake up?"

She shakes her head swiftly, denying that ever entering her mind. Because just that thought would've made her go down into despair. She couldn't imagine a life without Mukuro-sama.

He smiles at her making all her worries and conflicting feelings go away.

Yes, as long as she can see Mukuro-sama's gentle smile, for her everything will be alright.
