A/N: Hmm… how to make the next chapter? Heheh… uhm… I think I just start writing

Rosette woke up in a very uncomfortable position the next morning. Chrono had fallen asleep on the couch, so she had to find somewhere else to sleep. She couldn't leave him alone when he was sick, so she found an armchair and decided to sleep in it.

Her legs dangling over the armrest and her head leaned on the backrest. She groaned, her neck hurt and was sore "Bad idea, very bad idea" she grumbled and got up from the painful position. She looked over at the couch; Chrono was stirring and slowly awaking from his own slumber, though his must have been more comfortable than hers.

"Good morning" Rosette said while rubbing her neck. Chrono yawned and looked at her "Good morning" he answered tiredly "You're still here?" he then asked and rubbed his eyes, before looking at the clock, it read 10:00 PM "It's so late?"

She got up from the chair "I was worried about you, so I decided to stay and check up on you" she replied and stretched "You slept in the chair?" he asked her and got up as well

"I did and my neck is killing me for that" she groaned and rubbed her neck again "Well… that wasn't the best idea you've got" Chrono said and walked towards the kitchen. This time she followed him though, just to make sure he didn't get unconscious again "Should you really get up yet?" she asked, but he nodded "Can't stay in bed all day you know" he smiled and started making coffee.

Nyx came walking into the kitchen, starting to meow loudly "I hear someone is very hungry here" Chrono said and got out the cat food from the kitchen closet "Here you go Nyx" he said when he poured the food into the food bowl.

Nyx was over it in no time, purring thankfully. Rosette smiled at the black cat "He is so sweet, you really found him on the street?"

"I did" Chrono answered and pulled two cups out from another closet "Are you hungry?" he then asked and went over to the fridge "I could make breakfast" Rosette nodded "Sure"

Soon they sat at the kitchen table eating breakfast, Rosette was very quiet though.

"Hey, what's wrong with you Rosette? You don't say anything" Chrono asked and looked at her, she sighed "It's just what you said yesterday… and he is coming home today" she answered a sad look in her eyes "What if you're right about it?"

"I'm sorry I said that" Chrono apologized "I didn't mean to make you worry about that" she shook her head "I hope it isn't true… but I'm happy you worry about me" she said and smiled.

After breakfast they decided to go for a walk in the park. The leaves were falling from the trees and danced in the wind until they landed softly on the ground "Are you freezing?" Chrono asked when Rosette crossed her arms in front of her to keep the warmth.

She shook her head though "No, don't worry" Chrono though took off his coat and lay it over her shoulders "What about you?" she asked, he only wore a black sweater and a pair of blue cowboy jeans "I'm fine" he smiled and started running forward "Hey, wait up" Rosette called after him and sped up too.

She reached him at the lake, where he had stopped to look out over the water. The wind blew softly over the surface and through their hair, ruffling it. Chrono loved autumn, it was his favourite season. As a little boy he always had to jump into the leaf piles, spreading the newly raked leaves all over the place.

He smiled at the memory; too bad he was too old for that now…

Chrono sighed; making Rosette look up at his face "What is it?" she asked "Aren't you feeling well?"

"It's not that… I was just thinking about my childhood, I used to jump into every pile of leaves that I could find… my stepmother didn't like me doing that though, so I sometimes snuck away just to have fun… guess I'm too old for that fun now…"

He looked back at the trees and then suddenly a grin spread over his features "Or maybe, it isn't too late just yet…"

Rosette looked at him confused and turned her gaze in the direction his eyes were looking. A huge fresh pile of leaves lay on the ground "Uhm… C-Chrono?" she asked him nervously, but the only answer she became was him taking her hand, starting to run and then jumping, automatically pulling her with him into the huge pile "Yaaaay" he rejoiced happily and stood up a big grin on his face.

Rosette coughed, she almost choked on a leaf "Chrono, what the…-" but she was already pulled into the pile once more by a laughing Chrono. When she came back to her feet, she brushed the leaves out of her hair, but it was far too early for her to do so, cause as soon as she had brushed the leaves out, Chrono threw an arm full of leaves at her and hit her head.

"Chrono…" she squeaked "The pile could be full of bugs and stuff" but Chrono just answered with another arm full of leaves.

"That's it" she called and started throwing leaves herself, she didn't hit him as good as he hit her though, but the fight went on for about twenty minutes before Chrono let himself fall backwards into the pile and closing his eyes.

"I really needed that" he said and inhaled the autumn scent from the pile. Rosette smiled and walked over to stand beside him "You're so childish" she said and started to laugh when she saw that every centimetre of his hair was full of small and big leaves.

"Nice haircut, you got to let me know your hairdresser" she teased

"Why? You already seem to know him" Chrono teased back and laughed when she tried to brush out her hair.

"HEY, WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" they suddenly heard an angry voice yell and Chrono hurrily got up to see a big man walk towards them.

Chrono grabbed Rosette's hand and ran off "Sorry Sir" he called back and then disappeared out of the man's sight.

"That was close" he panted after some time just running "It was your fault, you wanted to have a leaf fight" Rosette told him

"Yea I know, but we had fun didn't we?" he asked with a big smile, and Rosette couldn't do anything else than agree with him. She hadn't had so much fun for a very long time. Aion would never do anything like that, she was sure about that.

A/N: That was chapter number 8 I hope you liked it. It was just a kind of filling out before Aion comes home :) didn't actually know what to write here.
