It was around midnight, and the two had finally retired to bed, slipping under the blankets, and unconsciously gravitating towards each other.
"Mukuro-sama," Chrome murmured as she snuggled closer to Mukuro.
"What is it, my dear Chrome?"
Chrome hummed as she figured how she should go about her next move.
Hmm, maybe blatantly pointing it out without beating around the bush would be better, that way there would be no misunderstanding.
"We're not exactly fake-dating anymore, are we?"
"Pardon?"
"Mukuro-sama." Chrome reached for his hand and raised it enough that the rings on their ring fingers would glint in the moonlight filtering through the window, "You proposed to me last month and we're now preparing for our wedding. We've been 'fake-dating' for ten years."
"Oh."
"Yes."
"What… what do you want to do about it?" Mukuro asked her, a carefully hidden note of hesitance in his tone, but she knew him for so long, she could hear it clearly.
"I want us to continue. But I want us to be honest with each other about it. That's all."
"Oh…" Mukuro sighed, "You surprised me, my dear Chrome."
"I can't figure why that would be. I thought it was getting pretty obvious."
Mukuro chuckled, "You are correct."
"Let's go to sleep now, Mukuro-sama."
