O-Overcoat:
"It's freezing!" Rosette said as her teeth clanked together. "Why couldn't this have waited until tomorrow?"
"It's good practice." Chrno chuckled, though he found it a bit hard to feel the tip of his reddening nose.
The snow pounded down hard that day, covering everything in a thick snow. Regardless of the weather, Sister Kate found it fit for the duo to travel out so the Nun could practice her shooting in a strange environment. She said that it would be a good experience for the blonde to fight in an environment that worked against her, though when they informed Remington and asked him to come he refused saying it was far too cold. So why was it okay for them to venture out?
"We'll train here." Rosette stopped as she rubbed her hands up and down her upper arms. She shivered; it seemed that the heavy jacket she had taken wasn't enough to keep her warm. "It's too cold to keep going! Come on."
xXx
Chrno watched Rosette train in the snow that she had once saved him from so long ago. Her bright red nose stood out against the pure white snow, and it made the demon giggle, it was cute its own way. It had been a nonstop hour of training, and he was getting tired of just watching. Then, to Chrno's surprise, the blonde girl lowered her handgun and sighed, a poof of white air leaving her mouth like snow.
"It's too cold to keep this up!" she said as she slipped her gun into its holster. "We should head back."
"Alright."
He stepped forward and removed his thick overcoat from his back. While Rosette fumbled around with her guns and the shells, Chrno approached her from behind and placed the coat over her shoulders. He had to pay her back for what she had done for him on that snowy day, and there was no better time then this.
She perked when the coat touched her and started to turn around when the demon placed his hand on her shoulder. "It's too cold out here for you."
Her ocean blue eyes widened. "But what about—?"
He smiled. "I'm fine."
Pouting her lower lip, she crossed her arms and closed the coat around her chest. "Fine, but don't get sick on me alright? We have an evaluation with Elder coming up in a few days."
"Right, right." He nodded his head, the smile never leaving his face.
In all honesty he didn't care about the evaluation or his condition when it came up, seeing Rosette shiver in the snow proved too much for him. Never again would he allow something to happen to her, or someone she loved as long as he could do something to prevent it, and he would give anything to prevent something from happening.
But oh how he wished to tell the difference between the colors on her face; was she blushing or was it the result of the cold winds?
R&R please!
