tumblr prompt #3 (Byakuran/Chrome mini-fic):

Character/Pairing: Byakuran Gesso, Chrome Dokuro.

Chrome wasn’t quite sure to make of this.

Dancing in front of her seemed to be a pint-sized version of one of her youth’s terrors. It appeared to be dressed only in red-striped pants, a bell and cat ears, and was pirouetting whilst perched atop a blue- striped balloon.

Hesitantly, she spoke. “…Byakuran-san?”

It responded by finishing its catchy ringtone-like song with a flourish: “-ran-ran-ran - BYAKURAN!” And it posed with its arms spread, hand curled like paws, and balancing on one leg.

“…”

Confused by the ensuing silence, instead of the applause it seemed to be expecting (Chrome admitted she did kind of half-wanted to), the little catlike thing looked up and cocked its head. “Nyaaaa?”

Hardly believing her own daring, she prodded it with a finger.

It immediately latched on.

Ignoring the wonderfully chewy time it seemed to be having (its tiny fangs hardly left pricks), she concluded it wasn’t really that harmful.

Stretching out her other hand, she began to pet it.

She was used to stranger things things anyway.

And, she couldn’t help but smile at the purrs vibrating through her palm, he was kind of cute.
