Collonello heaved a sigh as he laid, sprawled on the couch. A large bag of crisps cradled in one hand as the other held the remote. His blue eyes stared listlessly at the changing screen in front of him, slowly munching on his crisps as he did.
"Are you sure you're an eagle? Because, right now you look more like a pig." Leonora commented as she stepped towards the kitchen, purple hair held in a messy bun.
"Piss off 'Nora."
The woman laughed at his remark, "Go do something, you make us look bad on times like this."
Collonello groaned, "What do you expect me to do? Aurelio's off to do who-knows-what, and Reborn's off with Anastasia."
"Well, then go spar or something, really you look like a fat husband waiting for dinner."
"Aww, you'd know that wouldn't you wife." Collonello mock cooed at the woman who simply flipped him the finger.
"Screw you, blondie."
Her receding footsteps were followed by Collonello's laughter, until his ring tone sounded through the air.
"Yellow."
"Tch, the princess wants to talk to you idiota." The voice spoke darkly and Collonello could easily picture the scowl on the other's face.
"You're just jealous that she wants to talk to me." He stated smugly, hearing the cocking of a gun and a hurried shout of 'Just give me the phone Reborn! And no shooting!'
"Sorry about that Collonello, he's just sulking." Anastasia stated, the blonde grinned silently at the background mutterings of 'not sulking' from the hitman.
The blonde laughed heartily, "What else is new? Anyways, what did you need of me, princess?"
The blonde's grin grew as Anastasia sighed tiredly into the phone, "Not you too," she spoke voice laced with exasperation, before it turned grave. "Anyways, I wanted to ask you a huge favour."
"How huge are we talking about here?" He asked, voice uncharacteristically serious.
"Contract-huge." His blue eyes widened, at the reply. "See, my class is currently having a sort of battle-test and I need to have 2 contracts, minimum. Cause, apparently I'm 'new' or something," the girl replied, tone laced with so much annoyance that Collonello could picture how she looked. "So I figured I would ask you, would you want to form a contract with me?"
Silence stretched throughout the conversation, and Anastasia hurriedly stated. "It's okay if you don't want to, I can always—"
"I'll do it."
The blonde had shocked both himself and the teen at his words.
"...What?" Anastasia questioned in disbelief.
"I said that I'll do it." Collonello replied, voice firm. Despite his sudden statement, he didn't feel any regret at his statement. He did always plan on having her as his Meister anyways, this was just a fast-tracked way.
"...Are you sure Collonello? This is something you can't go back on and I don't want to trap you in this if you don't want it."
An uncharacteristic soft smile graced Collonello's face at the sincere, soft tone. He was certain that he wouldn't regret this choice of his, not when his Meister would be someone this caring.
"I'm sure princess, now let me get there and let's kick butt!"
Anastasia smiled at the energetic reply, "Well, come over then, and Collonello?" At the blonde's 'hmm' she spoke, "Thank you."
