Pairing: Ken x Chrome

Genre: Romance

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters. We all know that. Lol

Notes: Thoughts and a bit OOC. This is Chrome's POV so enjoy!

I can't be honest.

I don't have the courage.

I can't tell you I like you.

It was on a summer day and Chrome was on her way back to Kokuyo Land from Namimori Middle School, she decided to drop the snack store near her destination to buy something to drink. It was particularly hotter than most days and she hasn't eaten anything since last night so she needed something to fill her stomach at least. She arrived at the store and started searching for any drink and if her money allows it, maybe a biscuit too. Right after she bought the food she started eating and the said goods didn't last, she was so hungry that she finished all of it in a minute or so. She went out of the store and then she saw Ken.

"Ken, why are you here?"

"That is none of your business. Move"

Ken shoved her to the side and left her, but she was happy to see him.

I should wait for Ken. Its not common to have some alone time with him.

Chrome thought and sat on the bench. While waiting for the boy, she looks up at the sky and started thinking about how lucky she is to be surrounded by people who cares so much about her and how blessed she is to have met the Kokuyo gang. After a few seconds, she noticed Ken staring at her and how his face seemed red.

"Ken? Are you okay? Your face looks red."

"S-Shut up!"

Ken shouted and started walking. Chrome stood up to follow him, but he stopped and turned back to look at her.

"Chrome, w-wanna eat some ice cream before leaving?"

Chrome smiled at Ken and accepted his offer. She sat and waited for him once more and the boy returned shortly, sat down beside her and gave her the ice cream.

"Here. You better finish fast! I'll wont wait for you."

"Thank you Ken."

"I-Its not like I wanted to buy you one. It just happened that I got some change left."

Chrome giggled at how Ken was trying to hide his nice side.

"Stop laughing!"

"Like"

"What?"

"I like this flavor."

"Tch. Like it or not, just eat it."

Actually, Chrome liked not only the flavor of the ice cream, but also Ken and how he cares for her in his own way. At first, she had feelings for Mukuro, the one who saved her life, but she realized that it was just pure admiration and gratefulness; it was totally different from what she feels for Ken. She was afraid of when they met, but she slowly realized how happy she is when she sees him, how safe she feels when they're together, and how cute he looks every time he denies that he cares. Being alone with makes her feel warm and fuzzy inside that she wishes for times like theses to happen more often. She wanted to tell him her feelings, but she is shy and afraid to do so.

I hope the day when I'm brave enough to confess will come.

She finished her ice cream and saw "win" printed on the stick.

"Ken I won. I need to get another one."

She said while smiling and showing the stick at Ken.

"I? Maybe we"

Ken showed Chrome that he won too and he was smiling innocently at Chrome that she blushed and wished to see that smile often and to know that she was the reason behind it.

I can't be honest.

I don't have the courage.

I can't tell you I like you, right now

But I will. I will someday.

Thanks to those who reviewed by the way! I'm not good in writing stories and all but knowing that you liked it makes me happy. :D
