Chapter Four: He over did it

Mukuro doesn't date.

Sure, he's been with girls here and there, slept with a couple of them even, but he had never openly dated anyone before.

Therefore it was only natural for a man in his early twenties to be up tossing and turning in his bed late at night. Pondering about the life he had led and when on earth he would suck it up and get a girlfriend.

Not that Mukuro wasn't wanted of course. Heck the boy even had his own fanclub, full of girls practically throwing themselves at him every chance possible. But all Mukuro would give was his signature chuckle; throw in a wink and a wave before leaving them to hyperventilate on the sidewalk.

He was just Mukuro like that.

And it was only because he was Rokudo Mukuro that he pulled out his cell phone and texted a girl at 3:00 am in the morning. Not just any girl, a girl that he met only once before and on top of that, by accident.

But Chrome Dokuro was different. She was special, he didn't know why and it annoyed him to no end.

The next morning, conscious clearer and mind unperturbed, the corners of Mukuro's lips twitched into a gentle smirk as his slender fingers flipped open his phone and eyes twinkled expectantly at the short text he had received.

Mukuro-kun, is it ok if you pick me up at Namimori High at 3:30 today?

Fighting down the uncharacteristic giggle that threatened to escape his parted lips, Mukuro let his fingers fly across the keypad in composition of a sweet reply.

Of course, anything for my dear Chrome-chan ;)

-x-

Chrome hated extra attention. Despised the way people's gazes bore into the back of her skull when she turned her head and she absolutely loathed the immediate outburst of chattering that always followed.

Precisely the reason she was flaming like a tomato and trying her best to hide a flushing face behind lavender bangs.

When she had asked Mukuro to pick her up after school, she didn't mean for him to drive his shiny sports car onto school grounds, lean against the gates with sunglasses propped up against his forehead and look sexy.

When she asked for Mukuro to pick her up, she hadn't asked for a dynamic entry.

The moment the school bells rang and girls started to file out of school, the chattering began. Girls immediately taking notice of the car outside and all of whose eyes were drawn to the sexy looking guy leaning casually against the school gates.

Chrome's face heated up and her heart made an exaggerated leap behind her ribcage. Feeling more embarrassed than ecstatic, she hid her face and tried to walk past the gathering crowd unnoticed. But her tracks froze and violet eyes widened as M.M shouldered past her, making a beeline for her Mukuro.

Wait, when was Mukuro hers?

"Hey there~" Chrome's attention was immediately diverted as M.M approached Mukuro at the gates. Hands propped against her skinny waist and hips swaying sexily.

No man in their right minds would be able to resist that.

Unconsciously nibbling her bottom lip, Chrome watched as the two exchange a few words. M.M's eyes glittered smugly and the smirk was evident on her face when Mukuro laughed at something she had said.

A stinging pain shot up Chrome's spine when she bit her lip a little too hard. 'Damn that girl'

-x-

There was little time in which Mukuro would admit he had made the wrong choices. Those times were rare. But the pineapple now genuinely doubted his decision-making skills.

The bell rang and his smile dropped.

Yes, he had anticipated some girl issues, but he hadn't expected there be SO MANY of them. He was sincerely awed by how fast they came at him like bees attracted to honey.

Speaking of which. How on earth was he going to located his Chrome-chan?

Usually Mukuro liked this kind of attention. But hundreds of girls squealing, gossiping and pointing at as if you were some kind of zoo exhibit was a little to the extreme.

"Are you here to see anyone?"

Mukuro blinked, a voice snapping him out of his little trance. But before he had a chance to reply, the girl gushed on. Truthfully, he hadn't even noticed her through the mob of high school girls. Oh where was his Chrome-chan when he needed her most?

"If you aren't, I could show you around the place if you like. Then we could go somewhere don't you think? It would be great, just the two of us…."

Mukuro zoned out again.

-x-

Time seemed to drag on as Chrome watched the pair exchange hellos. At least she hoped they were only exchanging greetings.

"Oya, have you seen a pretty girl with purple hair, mesmerizing eyes and…. Oh there you are. Chrome-chan!"

Realizing too late that Mukuro was calling her. Chrome wanted nothing more than to die on the spot.

Under the intense scrutiny a hundred pair of eyes, Chrome pressed harder against the school structure, willing herself to sink through the unyielding wall.

She hated the wall for not accepting her.

'Go away, go away!' Chrome willed silently as she watched Mukuro take a step towards her. When he stopped in his tracks, she breathed a sigh of relief. But the temporary relief merely converted to horror when he beckoned her to come towards him.

'Shit!' Chrome groaned inwardly as her face burned and her feet shuffled. With a fake smile plastered to her face, she walked towards the man waiting at the other end of the schoolyard.

"Finally Chrome-chan, I was beginning to wonder if I had to wait here forever!" Chrome smiled and mumbled an embarrassed 'sorry' while trying her best to ignore the suspicious glances thrown in her direction.

"I thought you left without me." Mukuro muttered under his breath and smirked as he watched Chrome open and close her mouth, no words falling from her rosy lips.

Deciding to take his little teasing a little further, Mukuro bent down and pulled the startled girl into a hug, warping his arms around his slim form and pulling her close.

Chrome's eyes widened when she found herself pressing against Mukuro's larger form. With her face red enough that it put a tomato to shame, Chrome pressed her face into Mukuro's chest and inhaled. So warm.

It felt like minutes before Mukuro finally let go.

"You ready to go?"

Chrome didn't seem to hear him; her mind still too dazed as she stared into his kaleidoscopic eyes. She couldn't believe that she, Chrome Dokuro, had just hugged a man M.M had been flirting with in front of the whole school.

Her heart jumped.

"You ready to go?" Mukruo repeated and this time Chrome nodded with her eyes downcast, not wanting to witness the rows of hostile girls either gaping or glaring daggers at her from behind.

Mukuro chuckled and ruffled her silky hair before opening the passenger side door. Ushered in an obviously flustered Chrome and strode around the vehicle, giving the stunned Namimori students a final wave before hopping into the driver's seat and stepping on the gas.

Mukuro loved each and every flabbergasted expression.

Done! I was trying a new way of paragraphing, feel free to tell me what you thought of it :)

Haha, told you it was going to be a short chapter, short and sweet :3

Hmm~ The reason this chapter wasn't longer was because I don't yet have a clue where they should go next ;) Any suggests are more than welcome :D

Yep yep, the next chapter is going to be 6996 based :)

Please R&R for a faster update!
