You're Not Alone

Chrome Dokuro

For Billy

"Poor Chrome..." Tsuna frowned as he walked home from school.

Billy looked over to the boy who just recently became his friend. He could still remember the day it happened, he was walking home from school and suddenly a rush of memories came to him.

It was of his future.

He saw how Tsuna and his friends helped save the world.

How his future self was part of them.

The next day he at lunch with them as if nothing was wrong, and they welcomed him the same.

"Tch, that Mukuro is a real ass." Billy put in after. "She helped him when he needed it most and now he just dropped her like nothing is wrong."

Gokudera said nothing as Tsuna frowned and nodded.

"At least she has Kyoko-chan...and she's in our school now..." the brunette mumbled looking down at the pavement.

The thin boy frowned and looked up.

It didn't seem good enough for him.

And he was sure it wasn't good enough for Chrome either.

XxXxX

Billy had the same dream as always that night when he went to bed.

He's had that dream since he got his future memories.

It was him in a tux waiting at the alter of a church. He looked around and spotted his mother smiling with tears glistening from her eyes. He looked more and saw Tsuna standing to the left of him in a tux as well. He glanced around one more time to see everyone there, Kyoko and a few of the girls standing to the side of the alter dressed in matching dresses. A bouquet of flowers in their hands.

Everyone was older and smiling.

He seemed to be the only one who hadn't a clue as to what was going on.

Suddenly everything in the room froze.

He watched everyone stand and stare at the end of the hall where the doors where at. He knew what he had to do, so he turned as well.

And there walking down the aisle was a woman in white with a veil covering her face.

This is the time that he always remembered that he was in a wedding.

His wedding.

His brown colored orbs watched the woman's every step. For every step she took he got more and more nervous.

His mind was suddenly spinning with thoughts of how beautiful she looked right now.

She reached him and stood facing him.

His hands reached forward and gently grasped the edge of her veil and began to lift it.

XxXxX

Billy stared at the ceiling with a blank look.

His dream always stopped right before he saw the woman's face.

"This sucks." he mumbled sitting up and immediately putting his long brown hair into a low ponytail. "Am I ever going to see her face or is my mind just going to keep teasing me." he mumbled while getting ready for school.

"BILLY!" a woman's voice cried from downstairs. "BREAKFAST IS READY!" she finished.

Said boy sighed and grabbed his bag.

He walked down and grabbed a piece of bread.

"I'm just gonna head out now..." he stated.

The woman frowned.

"Billy, are you ok?" his mother asked with worry. "You...seem distance..." she whispered.

The teen didn't turn to her.

He had been a tad bit distance since he learned of his involvement with the mafia. And the strange dream just wasn't helping it at all.

It was just making him irritated and tired.

"I'm fine." he mumbled sticking the bread in his mouth and heading out the door.

Like always it was a lovely day. It was something you could always count on in this town.

But it didn't make the boy feel any better, just worse.

"P-Please." he heard. "J-just let me pass."

There where a group of chuckles and then a yelp.

Billy made his way over to the voices and spotted what he thought he would. Chrome up against a wall with a group of high school boys surrounding her.

She was shaking like a leaf gripping her bag to her chest life a life.

"Come on cutie." one said. "Why don't you just come with us and we'll show you a good time." he smirked resting a hand on the side of her head.

"E-eto...I-I need to get to class..."

Billy scoffed at her weak attempt and decided he should step in before things turned any worse.

"Hey." he let out. "Why don't you step away from the girl before I lose my temper." the brunette growled, his hands grasping the lighter in his pocket.

The three teens stared at him in wonder.

"That kid looks familiar..." another one of the boy's mumbled as his head tilted slightly.

Billy's brown eyes flickered to that boy.

"Man I don't give a shit." the first chuckled as he turned and completely faced the middle schooler. "Hey short stuff, get lost before I beat you so hard your mom wont recognize you."

Said boy stood his ground and glared at the taller boys, which made the teen scoff and push up his sleeve.

"You're seriously asking for it you little prick." he hissed. "Don't be a hero kid." he threatened walking towards Billy.

His buddy suddenly gasped.

"Wait Kaisuke!" he shouted. "That's that crazy pyro middle school kid!" he shouted a little too late.

'Kaisuke' only had time to glance at his friend before his shirt caught flame.

"GAHH!" he shouted, quickly dropping to the ground and rolling.

"I-it's true!" the boy from before shouted.

"Kaisuke, wasn't even that close to him!" the third boy let out with shock. "H-he really can control fire!"

"Let's get out of here!" the boy from before cried before breaking out into a run. The third boy quickly followed.

"Sota! Niro!" Kaisuki cried getting up, now shirtless. "Y-you wusses! Wait for me!" he shouted before scrambling up and following his companions.

Billy watched them go with a blank look on his face. Once he was sure they were gone his gaze went to Chrome.

"You shouldn't have let them push you around Chrome." he said. "You aren't defenseless."

The purple haired girls eyes went downcast.

"I...I'm not..." she said. "I was only strong because of Mukuro-sama..." the girl whimpered fiddling with the zipper on her bag.

The taller boy stared down at her.

"That's not true and you know that." he said.

Billy watched as she shuffled about.

He sighed and turned.

"I'll walk you to school..." he mumbled.

XxXxX

"Oi, fire-freak." Gokudera growled out with Tsuna standing close by. "Hurry up, the Juudaime needs to eat his lunch."

Tsuna let out a sigh.

"Gukudera-kun..." he mumbled.

Billy gave them his usual blank stare.

"Yeah, yeah I'm going." he said gathering his things until he noticed a certain purple haired girl walking off to eat, if she even brought food, lunch alone.

"Actually, I'm going to have to pass." he said going off to follow the girl leaving the two boys in confusion.

He followed her until she stopped at a tree and without hesitation he sat down next to her.

"Mind if I eat lunch with you?" he asked, although it's not as if he was really giving her a choice.

"B-Billy-kun..." she let out, her purple eyes wide with surprise and nervousness. "I...uh..." she looked down at her empty hands. It was just as he thought, she hadn't brought food to eat.

"We can share." he said holding out the boxed lunch his mother made him. "Mum always packs too much anyways..."

She stared at him, slightly pink in the face.

Then her eyes went downcast.

"Eto..." she began fiddling with her school skirt. "W-why are you being so nice to me..." her voice was barely over a whisper. As if she wanted to say it but not actually have him hear it.

"Because..." Billy had finished dividing the food up. "Your not as alone as you think you are." he said.

Chrome looked up at him but said nothing.

Billy took that as a sign to continue.

"You have a lot of people worried about you, ya' know." he said passing the girl her portion of the food. "Tsuna, Kyoko, Yamamoto, even Gokudera and Ryohei." the boy listed. "All of them are worried about you."

Chrome frowned and gripped her skirt.

"But...I'm not-"

"The Mist guardian anymore?" he guessed making the girl nod. "That's a load of crap Chrome." he stated making her flinch slightly.

"We are all your friends Chrome, and just because you don't have that...guy...possessing you anymore doesn't mean we are going to abandon you." He grasped her hand between his.

"We aren't those type of people Chrome...haven't you realized that?"

She didn't say anything.

Billy noticed her shaking and before he could do anything she was up and running.

"Chrome..."

XxXxX

His hands reached forward and grabbed the edges of her veil.

This is when he always woke up.

But he watched as the edges of the veil were lifted.

It was almost as if in slow motion, he watched it go up and over her small face to revile...

Billy eyes snapped open as the sound of thunder reached his ears. The boy was breathing heavily and sweating profusely.

"I-I-"

There was a knock on the door.

"Billy are you up yet?" his mothers voice said. "It's stormy out so you might want to leave for school early."

The boy wasted no time in getting dressed.

He had to get to school and fast.

Billy had never ran so fast in his life. He was in such a hurry that he forgot to eat breakfast, grab his lunch, or get an umbrella.

"WHERE IS CHROME!"

"Hiiiii!" Tsuna cried flinching from the force of Billy slamming the classroom door open. "B-Billy-kun, your all wet!" the boy continued noticing the boy dripping wet from the rain.

"Yeah that's nice now WHERE IS CHROME!" he shouted once again.

Tsuna whimpered in fear.

"GAH!" Gokudera growled. "You stupid pyro! How dare you-"

"Kyoko, have you seen Chrome today?" Billy asked politely as he ignored Gokudera.

"Oi! Don't ignore-"

"Ah yeah, Chrome-chan just left saying she didn't feel too well." the blond haired girl smiled. "If you go now you can catch up to her." she suggested.

Billy gripped her hands.

"Thank you." he said before running out of the room and back into the rainy streets.

He ran to towards the spot where Chrome was getting harassed the day before and it wasn't too long till he spotted the small girl walking under her umbrella.

She was huddled up so that not a drop of water would fall on her.

"CHROME!" the boy shouted.

Said girl turned slowly and Billy wasted no time in pulling her into his soaked arms.

Chrome gasped at the cold contact.

"B-Billy-kun!" she squeaked.

"Chrome...I promise..." he whispered. "I won't leave you like he did." he said. "I'm never going to leave you."

She stared up in shock and he took that opportunity to lean down and kiss her. Her purple eyes widened and she dropped the umbrella.

XxXxX

He lifted the veil up and over her head and semi sharp brown eyes stared into wide purple.

"You look beautiful Chrome." he whispered with a smile.

She smiled and they both turned to the sermon.

"Are you scared?" he asked as he noticed the smaller hand in his shaking.

Chrome shook her head and her hand grasped his as she whispered with a small smile and a blush.

"I'm not alone remember?"

Emily: My first boy one-shot! I totally killed it, Sorry Sio and Billy.

Chrome: B-Billy-kun and I got married. *blush*

Emily: Chrome...you are so cute... Anyways sorry for doing this one first other requester peeps. I've never had a guy request before so I was excited and wanted to get it done.

Chrome: Do you think Mukuro-sama will be mad?

Emily: Ah...no...anyways I'm REALLY self conscious about this one since I've never done a guy one-shot before so...tell me the truth, I won't get mad/sad ;-;
