My Little Bookworm - a chrollo x (FEM) reader fluff (SLOW UPDATES)

True Feelings

Y/N POV

It's been 2 weeks since Chrollo left, it feels nice to have a break, but I still miss him... But it's good for him to have time to himself. I assume it's only natural to miss him. If I had to live alone like this, it'd be unbearable... Sometimes when I'm cooking I'll say some open-ended question, hoping he'll be there, and that he might answer back.

 Our neighbors even ask me about him, they say the missed seeing him sitting in random places, reading some endless book with pages that are so fragile, yet durable. And I'd tell them he went on a trip to see some of his friends, they'd tell me not to let him go so far, that he might be seeing another woman, or- I can't even think of any guy he'd be with. Hisoka? No, he only wants to fight him. We had invited Hisoka over one day, he brought someone with him... I don't remember their name...

Despite Chrollo's absence, I'm still enjoying the island, I started talking to a lady I met in the market, her name is Mito. She told me all about her nephew, Gon, and how he wanted to be a hunter like his dad. I told her about Chrollo and how they seem kind of similar in a way, Chrollo always wanting to go somewhere or have something to do, Gon doing the same, but still taking time to enjoy where he is. Mito and I really hit it off, and I hope to talk to her in the future. 

I went to bed that night, like I always do, with my line of pillows next to me to cuddle with until Chrollo gets back, then I can cuddle him again! I laugh at myself as I start to drift, It's nice, this peace and quiet, but there's something missing, or maybe someone...

Chrollo's POV

I walk towards my hotel room, I thought about going back to the troupe, and I almost did. But I just kept reminding myself of why I'm here, to get something, spend a bit of time by myself, get some more books, and go home to Y/N. I've been avoiding the troupe for the past 2 weeks, and if I can keep it up for 2 more, I'll get it off my mind. When I finally get inside my room, I breathe a sigh of relief, It's almost over. The only person I told I was coming was Hisoka, I'm planning to meet him at Heaven's Arena, a terrible place in my mind, but he says he wants to talk for a bit, catch up even.. I found it suspicious, but I agreed nonetheless. We're meeting tomorrow at 11, an odd time, but it doesn't matter that much.

I start to think about Y/N, I miss her. I start to think back to our childhood, the room we shared in that small house,  the way I comforted her when I found her father dead in the alley behind the house. It makes me sick to think about that... I look at the clock, 12:45... Y/N is asleep by now, it'd be bad to try and call her. I take off my shirt and jacket and toss them on a chair, then fall onto the bed and sigh. I relax for a little bit until I start humming a song I remember, 

"Take a sad song, and make it better..."

"Remember to let her into your heart, then you can start to make it better"

"Hey Jude, don't be afraid, you were made to go out an get her"

"The minute you let her under your skin, then you begin to make it better"

I continue humming, slightly falling asleep. After a while, I fall asleep right there, still in my shoes and pants, even my earrings.

~Time Skip to morning~

I feel the phone in my pocket vibrate, jolting me awake. I sit up and answer it, not even caring who it is.
