A Broken Promise For A Fish [CronKri]

The Truth

Just then i saw Cronus come out of the bathroom with a tank top on. But there were no scars on him. Not even the slightest sign of damage except for his hand.  i ran to him and gave him a hug.

" C-Cronus don't scare me like that... " Porrim was soon behind us looking at our embrace.

Cronus hugged me back tightly and chuckled.

" Scare you? how so Cheif? You scared me earlier.. I kinda got mad over it.. Eh.. Sorry though.. "

" I'm sorry Cronus.. i shouldn't have ran away from you.. A-And i thought that.. "

"What? " I took a deep breath and pointed to his room. He walked over to his bed and started to laugh and rub the back of his head.

" Oh.. i see.. i shouldn't have left all of that in the same place.. it looks like i was trying to uh... yeah.. "

Porrim stepped up in between us an rubbed our back. She was looking at the things on the bed and thwn glared at Cronus.

" What were you even using these things for? " He sighed an took out a wooden wand the he widdled. So thats what the knife was for..

" what about the rope? "

" I used that to mark off where the wand would end. i couldn't find anything to write with on the wood.. I think i lost all my writing utensils.. "

" A-and why did you have so manny bruises and bandages while i was living with you? "

" Well yard work is hard and rose bushes don't trim themselves.. "

I looked at him and sighed before turning back to him and connecting our hands. Porrim slipped away with a small sign of ' call me ' after seeing that we were alright and left us to be.

" Cronus.. " I gulped. My heart began to hurt, heavy with all the sudden emotion.

" If i told you that i need you.. would you tell me in a lie that you need me too? Or would it be sincere.. " I moved closer and rested my head on his heart.. Feeling it skip a beat as he begins to rub my back.

" Kankri, The real question here is..
Why would i lie? " With that i saw in the dim room his half lidded eyes and felt his soft, lips against the rough chapped lips of my own. Inside his message ringing.

'Why would i lie?'

Well.. Maybe to hurt me back.
