Stay Chained to Me

Chapter 2

( Hi I'm Lily and your author for this ff so treat me well nicely please ^^ I put off writing this because I didnt know Chrollos ability that well yet and I wanted to use it in this chapter, but ultimately i decided to push that further ahead for later chapters instead because it sould seem too fast paced if i added those in now, enjoy~~)

Blood trickled down my lip. I can't tell if it's from the punch or me biting my cheek.
I almost mumbled, thanks I needed that; I needed the pain to keep me restrained and away from him. And for once since these last few hours, I felt immensely grateful for the tight embrace of his cold chains; they had begun to wound even tighter around me after our little, heated exchange.
Those were definitely going to bruise.
He's surprisingly petty. I cracked a smug smile.

I could feel the unease pooling out of the old woman sitting shotgun. The one named.. Melody? Her movements were stiff and her eyes looked at me like I was a monster hiding in human skin. I know that I'm not showing any outward facial expression that would frighten her, I displayed an aura of casual indifference, yet she seems convinced of my monstrosity.

Ah. So shes the one.

The one whos been listening in on the phone calls between the Troupe and the chain-bastard and has the ability to tell lies and truths apart just by hearing the sound of someones voice. If its a nen ability then the only thing left to speculate upon is the terms and restrictions of her power, but if its not a nen ability, and shes just born with abnormally perceptive ears, then that could mean her powers can be extended far wider in terms of use.

That explains why she looks at me like she could just wish me away. Far, far away, from her, and from the chain bastard. She can probably hear heartbeats, blood pulses, breathing, and somehow transcribe that into an emotion and use it to detect lies.

Impressive teammates you have there blondie, I'll give you that.

Chrollo glanced outside the window then moved to look into the front mirror, knowing that Melody and Leorio were secretly watching him through it. Both of them immediately tensed and turned away after making eye contact with him.

He's most likely going to go for a hostage-exchange deal, theres no way he would just take this chance to kill me and sacrifice his friends in the process, hes much too soft for that.

Paku, the rest depends on you now. Don't hesitate, bring over the whole gang, we're gonna have a field day.

Edit: Found this fan art and just had to share it. This is exactly what I think my Chrollo would have been fantasizing about that whole car ride. He would absolutely adore the idea of Kurapika sitting on his lap and riding him I'm telling you, he has a thing for Kurapika's thighs.
