Golden Eyes, Silver Control

Kurono

'Fun fact, Kurono knew what was going on.'

'Then why didn't he help?!' Fatgum yelled. Why would Kai care so much about someone who didn't help him when he needed him most?

'He couldn't.' Kai stated simply.

'What do you mean?'

'My father was far too dangerous for Kurono to do anything. He did his best to help me get the supplies I needed. I think I mentioned this once before, but I wasn't allowed outside. So I gave him the money and he bought everything, sometimes I'd have to send him pictures of the things I needed. He would sneak into my room every night and talk to me. Whether he needed to give me supplies or not. He would always come to talk to me. He's the one who kept me sane, well... Sane-ish. He stopped me from going on a murderous rampage. So, even if it's not the 'Help' you're thinking of, he helped a lot.'

'Oh, well... That's very kind of him.' Mirio hesitated, he wondered what kind of things he would get for Kai.

'Yeah... Kurono, he did his best.' Kai smiled, 'But we haven't been able to see each other, I've been stuck in solitary confinement, and they don't trust him out of his cell.'

'Oh...' Rock Lock muttered. He felt a little bad, it seemed like these two were very close and they haven't seen each other in years.

Kai shrugged, 'I do miss him, but if we really can't see each other I suppose it isn't the end of the world.'

Fatgum looked down for a second before looking back up at Kai, 'Would you like to see him? I mean we could talk to someone about it if you do.'

'Wait? Is that allowed?' Kai asked.

'I don't see why not.' Mirio shrugged.

'I- I want to see him.' He stuttered.

'We'll see if we can convince the Warden. And see if we can get you some food too. I don't think you've eaten very much have you?'

'Not really.'

Kai had fallen asleep in the hour it took for the heroes to convince the warden to let the Villains see each other. Although Kurono didn't want to wake Kai (Because he knew Kai wouldn't appreciate someone interrupting the very little sleep he gets) he did it anyway and shook him awake as gently as he possibly could. 'Hey.' He smiled.

'K-Kurono?' He rubbed his eyes, his voice was slightly groggy.

'Yep, you okay?'

'Strange question... Why wouldn't he be?' Mirio thought.

Kai shook his head slowly, 'Hm, are you going to be okay in an hour?'

'Probably not.'

'What about... In a day?'

'What is this conversation?' Rock Lock whispered. Mirio shrugged.

'No clue.' Fatgum muttered.

'No.'

'Well, why not?'

'Haven't been sleeping well, or eating well.'

'Have they not been feeding you?' Kurono's tone was suddenly angry.

'They have... I just haven't been eating.' Kai said slowly. Kurono sighed and whacked the back of his head. 'Ow!'

'I swear to god Kai Chisaki do not make me go back to how I got you to eat back in Highschool.'

'Alright alright!'

'What was the Highschool Tactic?' Mirio asked.

'I don't think you want to know.' Kai said.

'I would beat him until he agreed to eat something.'

'I hate you.' Kai hissed.

'Oh, do you now?' Kurono smirked.

'Shut up.' He sighed. Kai leaned against the wall and Kurono put an arm around his waist.

Mirio thought it was strange to see Kurono with emotions, and Kai without that angry, hateful expression. But it was cute how much they cared about each other. Kai looked relaxed for the first time. He didn't look like he was faking it, neither of them was saying anything.

The heroes decided they'd leave them be, it felt awkward watching them.

With them gone Kurono and Kai were able to talk about something that had been bugging them both.

'He's still at it? But you're in prison too.' Kurono said.

'I know! I thought that would get him to stop. I guess not though.'

'Kai we went to Tartarus to get him to stop.'

'At least Eri is safe. That's all I care about.' Kai closed his eyes, he could feel more relaxed with Kurono and knowing Eri was safe.

Kurono smiled and kissed the back of Kai's neck. 'Eh- Hey!'

'Oh shut up you missed me.' Kurono smirked.

'Be quiet you ass.' Kai laughed, pushing him away.
