A/N: here is next chapter. I hope it's good, though I'm not actually in a good mood.
Chrono made Ari walk around in circles; while Rosette didn't move at all "I am not going to ride this horse Chrono" she said firmly and got back down onto the safe ground. Chrono pouted "Then what are you going to do?" he asked and got down as well.
She turned towards him with a smirk "I'm going to buy some delicious cocoa and stay inside in the nice warmth, if you want to go outside on a horseback then I'll not be in your way" she said and began walking away. Chrono grabbed her arm though "How about we share one horse, I'm riding and you sit behind me just enjoying the view" he pulled her over towards Ari "Ari here seems like a strong stallion, strong enough to carry two"
"You're not one giving up are you?" she sighed, looking at him "Come on Rosette… I… I have to tell you something… please… and besides, it can't be more dangerous than driving two on a motorbike" he pleaded, his eyes looking at her sadly. He had decided to tell her the truth; he couldn't keep it a secret anymore.
"Okay, but no running or something deal?" she stretched out her hand towards him and narrowed her eyes. Chrono smiled "Deal" he shook her hand and pulled her towards the black horse.
He got up first, then pulled Rosette up behind him "Better wrap your arms around me, don't want you to fall off" he said with a smile, earning him another glare before she did what he said.
"I trust you Chrono; don't forget that" she grumbled, but Chrono winced at her words "Don't say that please… I might hurt you soon" he whispered.
Christine went back to them "Stay on the marked path okay? You'll see it on the small horse shoes painted on the trees" she said "And don't forget to wear your helmets all the time, falling of a horse is a heck of a lot of pain I can tell, so hang on Rosette" she added, not making Rosette more calm by that comment "Thank you Christine" Rosette said, gritting her teeth and a fake smile upon her lips.
"But we get of the horse and walk too can't we?" Rosette asked nervously
"Sure we can, just tell me if you want that" Chrono answered and made Ari walk slowly towards a little wood near the stables. Rosette automatically tightened her grip around him when the horse started moving.
They rode in a slow pace through the orange/golden wood. Rosette sat stiffly behind the red eyed young man "How is it?" he asked smiling; throwing a small glance over his shoulder at her "My back hurts" she grumbled "Can we walk now?"
He sighed "Well, okay then" he replied and stopped the horse. He jumped down and helped her down as well.
Instead they walked through the wood in silence.
After a long time of just walking, Chrono broke the silence "Uhm… Rosette?" he began, thinking about how to explain it to her in a way she wouldn't get too hurt. A task that was impossible.
"Hmm?" she turned to look at him, waiting for him to speak. He had a pained expression on his face "What's wrong Chrono?" she asked and stopped walking. Chrono stopped as well.
Chrono took a deep breath before speaking "I have to tell you something…" he started saying, looking her in the eyes "I should have told you earlier but…" he started hesitating, should he really tell her? Destroy her happy life? Well, as happy as it could be… He sighed again.
"What is it?" she asked, knowing something was wrong. She took a step closer "Tell me…"
"We…we're friends right?" he suddenly asked, confusing her "Yes… we are" she replied "Why do you ask?"
He sighed for the third time "I…-" he let his hand run through his hair, a sign of frustration "You… you know at the bar last time? Aion was there?"
She nodded "What about it?" he looked away, not able to look her in the eyes. He had to fulfil it, he couldn't just stop now.
"You remember Aion had a phone call right?" he was about to destroy her life, but he couldn't stop. She believed in a happy life with Aion a happily ever after, but it would be over in a few minutes. He started walking around, not able to stand still. Rosette was looking at him, she was confused.
"Chrono, what are you trying to say?" she asked, grabbing his arm, effectively stopping him in his tracks. He still avoided her eyes though.
He took another deep breath "Okay… I don't know if it's the right thing to tell you" he said "But it's impossible for me to keep it in anymore" he walked over to Ari and stood so his back was facing her.
"Do you know who called him?" he asked all of a sudden, he didn't let her give him an answer though "I know it… I heard the conversation… well, only what he said, but I know he is…" he trailed off, drooping his head, watching a little bug creep around on the ground.
"Chrono… if you have something to tell me about Aion, then say it… " she said, starting to get impatient as well, her hands fisting at her sides "Stop babbling and just tell me what the heck is wrong"
He frowned "I know it's going to hurt you… but I have to say it… I would be a bad friend if I didn't"
Her eyes narrowed "Spill" she almost ordered and stepped behind him. Another sigh escaped his lips "I heard Aion say that you asked many questions… he said that he didn't tell anything though… he was talking to a woman, maybe the colleague he had to go to Germany with" he still didn't turn towards her "He is having an affair with that other woman Rosette… he doesn't love you as much as you thought… he is cheating on you, he isn't the prince that will give you a happily ever after…" he choked. It was out, now he had told her.
"H-How can you be so sure about that?" he heard her question, he didn't answer though. Anger started flaring up in her "How can you be sure about it?" she repeated, louder this time. Chrono frowned "He called her darling… I couldn't believe it myself, but he did" Chrono answered at last.
"But I thought…" she began, but trailed off. A deep frown appeared on her face and she turned around, starting to walk "Rosette?" Chrono called after him "Just leave me alone for a while…" she growled and then started running.
"Dammit" Chrono cursed and looked after her disappearing form, until it was gone in between the trees. He got onto Ari's back and started slowly following her. Slowly so she could have her privacy, not noticing that his eyes had turned into golden a while ago.
Rosette kept running until she couldn't anymore. She stopped at a small lake in the middle of the wood. A few ducks were swimming happily in the dirty water, sometimes ducking their small heads under to get their food.
She just wanted to be alone, she was confused and just wanted to be alone.
A/N: Well… let's grant her that wish shall we? -.- I know it's become a bad chapter "Sorry about that"
