1 | Route 29 -> Cherrygrove
[The feed begins with a normal sight: a pokémon tinkering with the pokégear. It's a ledyba, which is strange considering how cold the weather has been these last few weeks days. Stranger still are its surroundings. No warm rooms for this little buggy, it's exploring the great outdoors! ...A bug-type? Wandering in the snowy outdoors? Without its trainer? From the lopsided view of the camera, the ledyba seems only steps outside of Cherrygrove City. It continues wandering until it comes towards the city's entrance.]
Ledyba. [The small pokémon hurries towards the voice and calls back with its own name. From its position on the ground, only so much of the world around it can be seen. The lower half of a young boy approaches it, his steps lithe even in thick snow. From the waist up he cannot be seen but a smile can still be heard in his voice.] Ledyba. What are you doing here?
[The pokémon and its camera hobble towards the boy, only to meet with a swift kick of his boot. The camera spirals backward and the ledyba with it.] I said go back to the old man! Get out of here, stupid!
[The boy doesn't kick it again. He kneels down beside it, his face easily seen now. He seems almost remorseful, as he reaches down to touch the ledyba. He picks up the pokémon by two of its limbs and stands up.] You know I don't like doing things like this, ledyba, but if you don't become stronger how am I supposed to have you follow me? You couldn't even fight against that rat. Maybe you're no better than bait. Is that it, ladybird?
[Ledyba shakes its head which entices a laugh from its trainer. Satisfied, Alois starts to walk back towards the city only to stop in his tracks. The pokégear was directly underfoot. With a smile, he picks it up and shuts off the feed.]

It takes a great show of will not to look away at the word 'afraid.' It's the truth, and he knows it. He has no concern for other people, whether they might try to save Ciel from his fate. The only one who can save Ciel is the boy himself. Should he someday no longer need Sebastian, he is the only one who can sever their contract. Johto has turned their entire relationship around, and more and more, Sebastian fears that Ciel is growing independent.
Chrome's understanding, like her courage, surfaces unexpectedly every time. Somehow, he hadn't thought she'd grasp it at all, but just like that, she's taken hold of the very core of the contract itself.
He might like to have her, too.
When she falls silent again, Sebastian smiles — it isn't a particularly friendly expression, but it is a pleased one — and takes her hand from his face, pulling it back so he can kiss her palm before he releases it. ]
Thank you.

[The kiss to her palm is like an electric shock that makes her lips form an 'o' of surprise, inhaling sharply. Her fingers curl in and she drops it back to her side when he lets her go.
He'd have to be sneaky about it, because Chrome, first and foremost, belongs to Mukuro. It's one of the three driving forces in her life along with being a guardian to Tsuna and, now, protecting Ciel]
I said before...I like to be useful. I don't mind being used, not if it's Mukuro-samam, or you. [or Tsuna, but Tsuna would never utilize Chrome's talents without extreme reluctance]

I will use you as I see fit, then. [ It's a promise. ] And Ciel will, too.
no subject
She steps back at last, embarrassed and nods]
I look forward to it. [it will occur to her, much much later, that she probably should have laid down some boundaries here]
