A/N: next chapter, hope you like it and thank you for your reviews :D

Unfortunately it started to rain when she had just arrived at the mall "Happily I'm inside" Rosette mumbled as she walked around and heard the drumming of the raindrops on the roof.

Her stomach started grumbling, she had only had some hot chocolate at Chrono's place and that wasn't enough for her.

She walked through the shops and gathered the stuff she needed together and even a few things she didn't need.

When she was done, and carried a few bags around, her stomach grumbled even louder than before "I just wanna go home" Rosette whimpered and started moving towards the exit.

She was stopped in her tracks when she heard a familiar male voice talking to her.

"Well, hello miss, haven't we met before?" Rosette turned around, meeting the smiling face of Aion "You're the lovely girl that lives opposite of my brother aren't you?"

"Uhm… yes I am" she replied and shifted one of the bags when it started to hurt her fingers, she carried four bags. Aion noticed this and offered to help her carry two of them "Here let me, this is far too heavy for you" he said and took the bag that looked heaviest.

"Thank you, I…-" she was interrupted by the loud grumbling of her stomach "I see, well… more hear that you are quite hungry, want to join me into the café over there? I haven't eaten too much myself"

Rosette thought about that a few seconds, but couldn't say no "Sure" she answered with a smile.

Aion found a nice place to sit and walked over to the counter to order some breakfast. Rosette rubbed her fingers, they had gotten all red because of the heavy bags "I don't see anything wrong with him, I don't understand why Chrono hates him so" she mumbled as she watched Aion come back with a tray in his hands.

"There you are, eat as much as you please" Aion said and sat down opposite to her. Rosette immediately started eating and it was very delicious "Thank you Aion" she said in between bites and took a sip of the warm tea Aion had brought them.

Aion watched the young girl amusedly for a few minutes, but then cleared his throat, causing the blonde to look at him "Unfortunately we were interrupted the last time we introduced us to each other, so… lets do it one more time" he reached his hand towards her and took hers "Like I said, my name is Aion Oni, Chrono's brother" he gave her hand a soft kiss "Could you tell me your name as well?"

Rosette blushed slightly "I'm Rosette Christopher, nice to meet you" she answered with a smile

"Rosette… what a pretty name for a pretty girl" Aion said, not letting go of her hand

"You know Rosette… I was actually quite surprised when I saw my brother pull you towards him in this protecting manner, he must really like you" Aion took a sip of his coffee with his free hand "He has never been the type of guy that… how shall I put it… has been affiliating with other people, he has been very shy and solitary and he has been a very lonely soul" (If it's called that -.-!)

Rosette started feeling a little unpleasant by the way Aion looked at her when he told her about Chrono, his eyes had narrowed, they had gotten cold and he just stared her into her eyes.

"You know… Chrono never attached himself to anyone and it actually surprises me that he has started with that now, he was always rejected by others, he didn't even know why"

"Why did they reject him?" Rosette asked and looked at their hands, hers still in his

"Chrono once had a very bad temper; he could actually hurt people when he got angry enough and that scared people off, he once hurt a little boy badly after a little argument, he was twelve at that time, but the boy had to go to the hospital with a broken nose and a few broken ribs"

Rosette took a bite of her food, but had to pull her hand out of Aion's before she could do that, Aion noticed her hand in his and let go "Oh I'm sorry…" he apologized, but Rosette just waved her hand in front of her face "Don't matter" she said and took a big bite.

Aion started talking again "Well… all I want to say is, be careful around my dear brother, he might like you… but he is like a bomb on time"

Aion drank and ate up "I have to go now Miss Rosette, nice talking to you" he said "Goodbye" he waved over his shoulder and smiled "Bye"

When Rosette had finished as well, she got up too, gathering her bags and starting towards the exit one more time. It still rained and the young girl grumbled low curses at it "I hate rainy days"

She walked down the street, becoming more and more soaked. She carried four bags, so there was no room for her umbrella as well.

"Home at last" she breathed exhausted when she was in front of her apartment door, water droplets dripping from her bangs and clothes and making a puddle underneath her. She set two bags on the floor and pulled out her keys "Next time it's raining I stay in bed, I just hope I don't catch a cold" she told herself and got inside.

After leaving the groceries in the kitchen, she walked into the bathroom to clean up and get new and dry clothes. She left the bathroom again in a T-shirt and a couple of black jeans, her damp hair were pulled out of the two pigtails.

She let herself drop onto the couch "I hate days like this" she said with a sigh and closed her eyes "Thank God I don't have work today"

She was about to fall asleep, when she was woken by a loud knocking at the door.

"Oh no" Rosette groaned and got up, walking towards the door "I'm coming I'm coming"

When she opened it she found no one other than Chrono in front of the door "Whaddya want?" Rosette asked wearily "Nothing" he answered with a smirk "I just wanted to visit you"

She sighed "Fine, come inside"

She led him through her apartment; he took off his shoes before he went into the living room.

"So… how are you?" he asked after some time in silence "Not much, except for that I almost drowned on my way home… I hate rain" she replied and grumbled the last part.

"Aww… poor little Rose" he said and pulled her towards him, locking her into a warm embrace, she felt better after that "Want anything?" she asked him "Nope, just you" he replied

"I meant something to eat or drink" she said and gave him one of her famous slaps.

"Ouch… okay, maybe just a soda" he replied and winced, rubbing his arm "You really have to stop doing that, it might fall off sometime soon" he added

"Then behave" she pulled out of his arms and walked into the kitchen "Does that mean you don't feel about me like I do about you?" he asked suddenly, following her and his smirk fading.

Rosette took an empty glass and poured some soda into it, not answering his question, not knowing what to say.

She was turned around by Chrono so they looked at each other, he held her shoulders in a gentle grip "Does it Rosette?" he asked again.

"I like it when you hug me and stuff, but…" she trailed off

"But?" Chrono asked "I told you how I felt and hoped you wouldn't reject me"

She remembered what Aion had told her, he had told her that he had never had anyone to talk to or someone to call a friend, she felt sorry for Chrono's lonely life.

She couldn't do anything else than to hug him back "I don't reject you, I-I just need some time, I… have never had a… b-boyfriend before" she lowered her voice at the last part.

"And I still remember how you were at our first meeting here, you told me to leave if I didn't like your music"

Chrono chuckled "Yeah, I remember, but you did come back and when you didn't do what the others do, I started feeling something for you"

The others were the other inhabitants, that left the house each time Chrono came home and started the radio, but Rosette was stubborn and didn't do that.

"So it was a kind of test for me?"

"Kind of… I didn't think you would be that stubborn" he replied

"Never challenge Rosette Christopher, she never gives up" Rosette said with a stern voice, making him laugh and giving her a quick peck on her cheek "I'll remember that" he whispered, causing her to blush a faint pink.

Was the ice around her melting? Suddenly a strange new feeling started to spread through her, but she couldn't exactly tell which it was, she looked at his face, his red eyes fully at ease and his purple bangs falling down beneath his face, a scar running down his neck. A scar running down his neck? It even looked infected.

Rosette immediately let go of him and pushed his bangs away from his neck to examine it further, it seemed to run down along his left shoulder as well, maybe even to the middle of his arm "Chrono… what is this?" she asked him worriedly "This looks really bad"

"Oh that… don't worry, it isn't as bad as it looks" he said and took her hands gently in his "But Chrono… at least let me take a look at that" she urged and went to the couch "Where did you get it?"

"Rosette…" he cupped her cheek with his right hand; making him look at her "It's really nothing" he kissed her softly on her lips "Don't worry about it, okay?"

"You should go see a doctor though, they can help you with it" she said "I really don't like you going around with it like that, or at least let me bind it up for you"

Chrono smiled "You really never do give up, do you?" he asked

"You bet, now sit down and let me get some band aid" she said firmly and pushed him into the living room and onto the couch "And stay there" then she walked into the bathroom to get the first aid kit.

Chrono stayed, he didn't want a lump on his head for not obeying "And I still like her" he murmured with a smile.
