Author's Note: This is a collection of one shots that tend to be on the light hearted side. The title is meant to be saying how the two of them being together side by side (which was only possible in his illusionary world before) is now true and permanent. The setting is five years after the original story, with Mukuro having been freed from the mafia prison.
I have been reading Mukuro x Chrome fan fictions and I really love the really sweet/fluffly ones. I noticed that the English fan fictions tend to be darker, while you get sweeter and light hearted one amidst Chinese writers. But a very common motif is Mukuro being very possessive yet very gentle to Chrome. Over protective to the extent that anyone that does anything to her will result in him demonstrating his six paths.
I like writing/reading the light-hearted and sweets fics as I like the idea of the two of them being like this, a happy ever after life since too much seems to have happened to them.
I actually debated whether I should use Nagi or Chrome since Nagi is her real name and he does call her Nagi at times. However, Chrome is also very symbolic because it symbolizes him being a part of her. In the end I decided to use Chrome since that seems to be what most people do.
To say that the place was a dump would be an understatement instead of an exaggeration. As he stepped over the rubbles that were still not cleared, Mukuro couldn't help but to ask how he could let his precious Chrome endure this for five years.
"Didn't we have money in a secret account?" he pointed out to Chikusa.
"Yes, but all three of us decided that we will only use it when we absolutely have to." The other said, "It is your money, Mukuro-sama."
Before, he would think that if they decided to live this way then it was their own problem. However, he did change during these five years. Even though he still held the rest of the world in great contempt, these three was very different.
Especially his Chrome.
"Mukuro-sama, we have prepared the sofa for you." Chrome said nervously. "It may not look very comfortable but…"
"…a house."
"Mukuro-sama, what did you say?" she began, her fear of him being unsatisfied increased even more.
"We are buying a proper house." He announced.
There was no way that he would let his Chrome live like this now that he was here.
As a result, the two of them began to search for a new home- and he could finally use this word.
"But shouldn't we ask Ken and Chikusa to come as well?" Chrome asked.
"As long as you like the house, then we will all like it." Mukuro said, repeating what he had said this morning.
His smile told the other two that they could not disagree.
"Therefore, what is it that you want, my adorable Chrome?"
"I…I want a small house." She whispered. "I used to live in a really big house but…but it was so…cold."
"Then we will buy a small house." He assured her, hating to see her sad. After all, shouldn't his presence be enough?
To Mukuro, all the houses seemed similar and the only difference was their size. However, he took great pleasure in seeing how absorbed Chrome was.
But then, she was always so adorable to him.
When she found the perfect house, she was very excited, she was smiling to happily and he could not help but to smile as well.
A real smile.
"I feel that we will all be very happy here." She said as she tugged at his hand in her excitement.
That was good enough for him to buy the house but since she was so eager to show the house to him, he let her do whatever she wanted.
"But I hope that Ken and Chikusa would not mind sharing this room." Nagi said as she sat down on the bed in the master bedroom.
"Why would they need to share this room? They can have the two smaller rooms." Mukuro said, snaking his arms around her. "We will be the ones who have this room."
"But Mukuro-sama…" at her startled expression, he could not resist the opportunity of teasing her.
"I am really hurt." He declared out dramatically- all but burying his face in his hands. "That my Chrome does not want me to be beside her by sleeping in the same bed with her."
"Mukuro-sama!" she was clearly very worried and he couldn't help but to chuckle at how easy she was taken in. But then, this was part of her charms. "I…it is not that I don't want to be with Mukuro-sama…all I want is to be with Mukuro-sama. However, sleeping in the same bed…"
This was finally too much for him- laughing, he pulled her toward him in a very tight embrace.
"You are so adorable." He said between her laughter. "Therefore, how can I stand the thought of you not being beside me as I sleep and wake up?"
"…Mukuro-sama, is this what you really want?" she whispered.
"I have been wanting this for five years." His voice was now very serious. "I want to hold you with my real body so much. You are the most precious thing to me."
"Mukuro-sama is the most important person to me too." Chrome said without any hesitation."
"That is why I want this to be our room…I don't want to part from you at all. You are right, Chrome," he told her as he kissed her, "We will be very happy here."
