Our Poisonous Love [ Chrollo x Reader ]

「 Chapter 9 」

Chrollo. He stared from across the park, his look was hostile. You pulled away your eyes and looked down at your cheesecake.

Hisoka was oblivious to Chrollo's presence. You glanced at Hisoka for a moment. he was simply enjoying his own cake. You looked back to where Chrollo was.

He was gone.

Your hands moved on their own, closing the box of cheesecake with the fork inside.

"Hisoka, I'm going to get some rest for a bit. The flight was a little tiring." You interrupted him from eating his last bite. He looked at you, his eyes with a sense of concern.

He sighed, shrugging his shoulders. "Okay, I'm only a call or text away."

You gave him one last smile before getting up from the bench. You walked towards the last spot Chrollo was at. The closer you got, the faster you walked. You stopped once you were finally standing at the spot he stood at. You looked around, hoping to see just a glance of him.

You caught a small glance of orb-like earrings. There was no doubt, it was his earrings. You followed the sight of those earrings, trying your best to get as close as possible. Although, the crowd grew bigger, making it harder to keep an eye on Chrollo. You pushed pass the crowd with no regard of how others felt.

You followed him down the shopping alleys. The sounds of people selling their clothes and products can be heard all around.

"Chrollo!" You shouted.

It didn't seem like he could hear you through the loud crowd. You eventually lost sight of him. The weight on your chest grew heavier. You just stood there, looking for a glimpse of him. Nothing.

You started making your way back until a hand grabbed your wrist. Before you could even look at who was pulling you, you were pulled into a small alley. Your eyes met the ground where a you can see a pair of black derby shoes that belonged to the person that pulled you.

You slowly pulled your eyes away from the shoes and looked up. Your eyes slightly widened, your heart beating faster as you met eyes with Chrollo's eyes. His face was close with yours, the narrow alley allowed your bodies to be as close as possible.

Despite how loud the crowd was outside the narrow alley, the silence between the two of you was loud. You had so much to say to him. So much to be angry about, so much to yell at him. Yet, you stood there in silence. Suddenly your eyes began to water, your built up anger and frustration couldn't be tamed anymore.

Chrollo lifted his hand and placed on your cheek. His hand was warm, it fit perfectly onto your cheek. Before you could even enjoy the pleasure of his hand on your cheek, you pushed him back.

"Y-You liar!" You shouted with anger. Your hands balled up into a fist. "First, you played with my feelings and told me I was entertainment. Then y-you give me that stupid note and now this?"

You started hitting his chest out of frustration. The tears could not stop, you couldn't stop.

"You put me through that bull shit to only tell me that you never want to talk to me?" The anger in your voice soon went silent. "I don't understand. . ."

It went silent. Your tears did not cease to flow. There was a long pause, only silence can be heard between the both of you. Your eyes didn't meet his anymore. Your eyes gazed at the ground once more.

"I thought I could move on." He finally spoke. "What I did to you is unforgivable. You were so kind yet I-" He stopped speaking. You suddenly felt his hands pulling you in for a hug. As much as you want to resist, you let it happen. You allowed him to hold you close for a moment.

Chrollo placed his hand on your cheek, using his thumb to wipe away any tears that were left on your cheek.

"You're so beautiful." His voice was soothing as always. You felt the blood rush to your cheeks, causing your face to blush a little. You felt warm on the inside, the weight on your chest soon felt lighter.

Could it be this easy? Can I really trust him again?

You pulled away once more. "I-" Your eyes met his. "I need time to think. . . I have to go now. Goodbye-"

You suddenly left the alley and walked away. Yo u feared that he may play with your feelings once again. Scared that this was going to be the same as last time. You couldn't just let him in. Not yet, not now. . .

That was the least of your worries. First, you need a place to sleep at. All this thinking and running around has exhausted you. You decided that maybe you'll put off these problems till tomorrow.
