some day's dreamer

Of thanks long passed. – Fuuta/Chrome Dokuro. Post-TYL arc.
He was surprised when she came up to him one day.
He'd mixed feelings for her, sharing her body with one who'd once possessed him as she was, and a wariness in that weapon always on her person – but no actual antagonism to her, overall.
The eyes she viewed him with were a little strange, her soft speech not a particular adherence – and that was when he realized.
She saw eye-level with him and spoke with him normally, as if he were her equal, her age, older even sometimes.
It was strange being called "Fuuta-san."
He didn't know how to deal with it.
In his head, he called her "Chrome-neesan," it helped distinguish her apart from the Kokuyos, it was what he called Tsuna-nii and the others.
He only ever really saw her at meetings when Tsuna-nii called his Guardians together.
She wasn't really a social person he knew, so he was still surprised as each meeting she'd incline her head at him. She didn't always notice him straightaway and didn't attempt conversation or anything when so - but she still acknowledged him.
And then she leaned forward and carefully kissed him on one cheek.
It was thanks, even if he didn't know what for, now, in his young body.
He spluttered and maybe flailed a little too.
"C-Chrome-san!"
It was her after all, and his views of her restructured again.
She smiled then, an enigmatic smile at the honorific reminiscent of a forgotten future.
The thing is TYL!Fuuta also contributed in saving Chrome, maybe not as memorably/flashily as Hibari but he did help. So, what happened to this ship? (…I'm only partly serious haha :P)
