K-Knit:
Rosette didn't like to sit down and do nothing for hours on end. Boredom was something the Nun wanted to avoid at all costs. Boredom cleared her mind of everything and allowed the visions of her past to come flowing through, whether she liked it or not. And after they came, she had no choice but to allow them to play through over and over again until the memories felt they were done, and then they would disappear but feelings would linger. So, in order to avoid those horrible emotions, Rosette picked up a habit that fellow Nuns approved of for once: knitting. In all honesty Rosette felt like knitting was something old woman did but it did keep her mind busy and clear. It helped, and that was all she could ask for.
But what to knit?
Thousands of unless possibilities came to mind but nothing seemed…well right. Of those thousands of options, Rosette only knew a select few but she knew them well through all of her practice. She pondered the choices she had and finally came onto one that seemed perfect.
The blonde woman sat down one day in the middle of December with two thick knitting needles and a large ball of yellow stained thread. She took seat in an old wooden rocking chair in her room and set to knitting something for a certain someone.
With every click of the needle Rosette created a new stitch, one after another until a tiny blanket came forward. She finished the small patch of work and lifted it upwards, allowing her eyes to roam all over it. Ten mistakes. She could easily spot ten miss stitched spots just by looking at it. Had she really messed up that badly?
"Damn," she muttered as she lowered her work. "I can't give this to him."
"Give what to him?"
The Nun turned her head and spotted Chrno coming in the doorway with his trademark smile on his face and hair trailing behind him. The demon came into her room and sat down on the ground a few feet in front of her, for he wasn't allowed to come all the way into her room by order of Sister Kate.
"Nothing!" Rosette felt her cheeks warm as she hid her work behind her back.
"Come on," Chrno closed his eyes, "show me. Is it for Remington?"
"Well…" Rosette's blue eyes shifted from one side to the other. "I…uh…"
A warm chuckle left Chrno. "Don't worry about it," he said with a wave of his right hand. "You don't have to tell me if you're not ready."
Before her mind could come up with the 'right' answer, Rosette spoke, "Alright."
And yet behind her back sat the work she had made for him, the small blanket like object she had created for him to hold his hair back in that classic braid. She had completed something for him that, for some reason, she just couldn't bring herself to give to him.
Why?
R&R please!
