Pairing: Ken x Chrome

Genre: Romance

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters. We all know that. Lol

Notes: Thoughts and a bit OOC. Anyways, enjoy!

I can't be honest.

I don't have the courage.

I can't tell you I like you.

"Kakipi, I'm hungry. Any snacks left?"

"Ken, you ate the last bag of chips half an hour ago."

"Geh. We have to go shopping again?"

"We? You go alone this time. It's your fault anyways."

"Eh?! But you're the one with the money!"

"Here. Choose wisely."

"You're ignoring my complaints now? Fine."

It was like any day in Kokuyo though a bit hotter since it was summer. Ken went to the nearby snack store. The sizzling asphalt road, the noisy cicadas, the bright sunlight, everything made Ken walk sluggishly. The moment he arrived at the store a certain purple-haired girl went out of the place.

Geh. Shes here.

The girl saw Ken and approached him.

"Ken, why are you here?"

"That is none of your business. Move."

Ken shoved the girl to the side and went in the store. Potato chips, chocolates, candies, and water were the things Ken bought. The boy went out saw Chrome sitting on the bench, waiting for him. He looked at her and can't help but admire how she looks fragile and precious like a glass glimmering under the rays of the sun.

"Ken? Are you okay? Your face looks red."

"S-Shut up!"

Ken shouted and started walking leaving Chrome behind, but stopped shortly. He turned back and looked at the girl once again.

"Chrome, w-wanna eat some ice cream before leaving?"

Chrome had a faint blush on her face and smiled at Ken.

"Yes!"

"Sit down. I'll buy some."

Ken went back to the store and used his change to buy the ice creams. He went to Chrome afterwards and sat down beside her.

"Here. You better finish fast! I will not wait for you."

Thank you Ken."

"I-Its not like I wanted to buy you one. It just happened that I got some change left."

Chrome giggled.

"Stop laughing!"

"Like."

"What?"

"I like this flavor."

"Tch. Like it or not just eat it."

Honestly, the boy knew what flavor the girl likes, but he was just shy to admit it. It's been a while since Ken liked Chrome, but he can't admit it. He can't be honest with his feelings. Well, he was hoping that Chrome likes him back, but it was obvious the girl like Mukuro since he saved her life.

Can't someone give me a sign? If I confess to her, will my feelings be reciprocated?

Ken asked whatever entity can hear his thoughts. He finished his ice cream and looked at the stick.

Win, huh.

He smiled a little then looked at Chrome and sighed.

I can't be honest.

I don't have the courage.

I can't tell you I like you, right now

But I will. I will someday.

I'm still not sure if this should be a one-shot or not. Review if you want a sequel or something. Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you! ^^
