Birthday Suprises and Pocket Watches: A Chrno and Rosette Story!
Chappie 1: The Struggle and A Suprise -
'Will I ever be whole again? To live without worry and die without regret? Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever get out of this dump and see the light again. But I have to stay here... for Mary's sake.' The boy sighed mournfully, looking at his palms. Suddenly, the door to the cave opened slightly to reveal a small girl. She popped her head in around the corner and gasped. "Joshua I found someone! Come look!" She said happily. Another kid, probably a little younger then the girl, looked in as well. His eyes turned to stars and he smiled. "Who are you?" The young Rosette asked. "Me? I'm Chrno." "Why are you in here Chrno?" She asked another question. Chrno looked over his shoulder to the large coffin behind him. "I am here because I choose to be." He didn't really want to give the real answer because that would hit too close to his heart. "You see, I am what you humans would call a devil." "Devil? REALLY?" The supposive Joshua ran in and shook Chrno's hand. "Wow! A real devil! Thats so awsome!" He said enthusiastically. "What are you talking about? You can't be a devil! Aren't devils supposed to be all mean and ugly?" Rosette asked, making a face she thought looked like a monster. Chrno laughed. "Well not all of them are." "Well then you must be one of the cute ones." She smiled as the devil blushed. 'Cute? I'm cute?' -That was when Chrno and Rosette first met...-
The nowaday Chrno sighed as he sat in a bench next to the large church. In all those years that he looked apon the two friends first meeting, they had been through a lot. He watched as many a girl walked by but, alas, no sign of Rosette yet. "Oi Chrno! Over here!" A voice called him and he sat up from his slouching position. "Good morning Rosette." He said warmly as she stopped in front of him. "Do you know what today is?" His ruby eyes glittered with her struggle. "August... 26th?" "No silly! It's your bithday!" He said smiling. She hit herself in the forehead. "Of course! I totally forgot!" She said to him. The pocket watch around her neck shifted and he growled. Man did he hate that thing! It was slowly ticking away Rosette's life in this world and the worst thing about it was it was his fault. It was all his fault. He needed to make this day special. He clenched his hands into fists. "Chrno? Are you ok?" Rosette's face was full of worry as she stared at him. He unclenched as he stood up. "Yeah, I'm fine. By the way, would you... mabye... go out with me tonight for a birthday dinner? Sister Kate agreed to not give us any missions today." The word dinner hooked Rosette right away but then she thought about what he just said. "Go out with you? Like a d-date?" She asked stuttering. He blushed a crimson almost as dark as his eyes. "W-well I never thought about it that way but I g-guess." He replyed with his own nervousness. "Sure Chrno. I'll go." She wispered. "Then its settled." He said rather loudly and grasped her hands in his. Then, he pulled her into his embrace. "This will be the best birthday ever!" She mumbled happily. "Any day I'm with you is the best day ever for me." Chrno immediatly clasped his hands over his mouth. She looked up at him and blinked, hugging him tighter so her head rested on his chest. She could hear his heartbeat get faster. "R-Rosette? I never really had the chance to tell you this but..." "Yes? what is it Chrno?" He swallowed hard as their faces got closer together. "I... I l-lo..." He was interrupted by a small girl rounding the corner. "Rosette! Chrno! I've been looking all over for you." The apostle said smiling smugly. "Happy Birthday Rosette." "Oh Azmaria! Its just you!" The couple unlocked arms and looked at her, embarresed. The girl smiled and handed Rosette a small box. Inside was a sterling silver chain and an oddly shaped stone that matched her eyes. "Oh wow Azzy! Its beautiful! Thank you so much." The nun gently put the necklace on. "What were you two doing ver here anyway?" Azmaria asked, a little more mischeviousness in her voice. "Ummm... nothing. Now we should get going before Sister Kate changes her mind or Elder gets ideas about this." Chrno said, nervously laughing. "Go where?" The young girl asked. "Oh! Chrno's taking me to dinner tonight for my birthday." "Oh! Sounds fun. Well have a good time. I have to go to chorus." Azmaria said her final goodbyes and ran off. "Finally, now we can go." Chrno said, breathing a sigh of relief. "By the way, what were you going to tell me before she came?" Chrno immediatly blushed. "Its nothing. Now lets go before our reservations get cancelled." They rushed off to town.
