Rewritten version of Sugar and Molasses

Chapter 4: Frozen Heart

(The beginning starts off with Chrollo's POV, so keep that in mind)

(Also, I'm too busy to copy the dialogue word for word, most of it is like similar dialogue)

Disclaimer: Although Hisoka shows interest in MC [Because of Chrollo] he is not a love interest.

Chrollo keeps one hand on his book, ensuring it's left open on the page he is reading with a finger. His big eyes glance back to the person knocked out beside him. Their body leaned against his side, with his arm tightly wrapped around their waist. He bumped their head softly with his nose; a brief moment of affection. The candlelight illuminates the two's presence in the dim room. The rubble surrounding the concrete platform they were on.

'Isn't it better here? With me by your side, providing any comfort you could ever need? We don't have to be apart anymore. Stay with me, by my side, til our last breath. Everything feels cold without you.'

He's broken from his thoughts when he senses the silent footsteps of Hisoka, immediately strengthening his grip on his beloved's waist. The thought of Hisoka near them makes his bloodlust far worse than usual. Who knows what that nuisance of a clown would do? He can't let him come close. His heart might freeze completely if they were to escape his grasp.

After the brief argument between Uvogin and Hisoka, Chrollo was about to speak. Until Hisoka interrupted, "My, my, who is that little mouse beside you?" His angular eyes narrowed, a smirk pulling on his face like a fox. His tone only expressed teasing curiosity.

"My victim." Chrollo bluntly spoke, with pure confidence. His stare was intense, maybe slightly glaring at the clown. It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't true either. His only goal was to get Hisoka to lose interest. He couldn't lose them now, not to a fucking menace. Before Hisoka could question him further, he announced, "Tonight, we raid the York New underground auction."

The members stare up at him, some in surprise, some in excitement, and some in confusion. Uvogin jolts up, leaning forward with an unhinged look in his eye. "Wait, sire, you don't mean we're stealin' everything, are you?"

"Oh, but I do. We steal everything, tonight." Chrollo makes a minuscule smile. Just barely noticeable. Perhaps he was a little insane too. Just like the rest of them. He doesn't let go of his beloved, keeping them stuck to him as he talks.

"I bet sire wants books. He reads a lot." Machi added, her spirits lifted with the future of a big raid. The biggest one yet in a couple of years.

'You're wrong. I want a ruby necklace. I'm sure they would love it, no?' Chrollo thought to himself as he glanced at their sleeping face. Oh, how he wanted to reach down to pet their hair. But that little bitch named Hisoka is still lurking around.

(POV change)

A few hours later, you wake up, feeling extremely groggy. You just went through the French Revolution to the creation of Spongebob in your dream. Will you ever get a sequel to what happened? Who the fuck even interrupted your dream- you freeze. A man sat beside you, staring at you with that similar gaze from before. His hand strokes your hair, as he asks in a hushed volume, "Did you sleep well?"

You pause, still trying to wake up. But now you recognize who this guy is. It's the police officer who arrested you! What kind of deceiver is he? You frown before interrogating, "Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?" You try not to ask more questions. The uneasiness was settling in now. The drowsiness from before is gone, only terror to what the future will be like.
