《The Wife》47: Get To Know You

"Grab my satchel for me." He pointed at the bag from his spot on the ground.
"Uh, alright." You picked it up and placed it next to him, watching as he rustled around in it for what looked like a wallet.
"Here." He handed you a photo. "I may not be around babies often anymore, but when I was younger I took care of one."
You stuck your lower lip out and scrunched your eyebrows together.
"Aww, baby Chrollo! And who is this?" You asked about the blond baby next to him.
"That's actually Shalnark. I know the eyes aren't quite right, but the whole photo was pretty dark. It's just some awful Polaroid picture from a broken camera we found in the junk at Meteor City." He tickled your daughter, causing her to giggle.
"Is he your little brother?" You asked while you handed his photograph back.
"Practically, but not by blood. I found him when he was two. So I suppose actual newborns are very unknown to me still, but toddlers are my forte." Sitting up, he handed Chouko to you, remembering that she needed to eat, and then finally took a seat right next to you again. "Does she still..."
You rolled your eyes.
"Yes, she is. I know she's a little bit old, but you know the doctors say until age two, so it isn't that weird. Damn, everyone's up my ass about it." You grumbled. So what if you wanted that special time with you daughter? She could barely talk anyway.
You hesitated to unbutton your flannel, wondering if he would leave. Instead, he just sat there looking at you patiently.
"What else do you need help with?" He asked as he casually reclined on the couch.

"Could you do the dishes in the sink? I was going to do them before you arrived." You sighed and proceeded to unbutton your shirt. No use in being modest now.
He tried not to stare. Having always wondered what was underneath your clothes, it was like torture to ask him to go to another room while you sat there partially undressed.
Sitting Chouko up, you went to remove your bra, only to find that Chrollo still hadn't left. So you cleared your throat and looked up at him.
"Oh, oh. My apologies. Yes, I will go clean the dishes now, Yumi." He shook his head and walked into the kitchen, mumbling something.
Ah, I can't be mad. It's kind of cute. You thought to yourself as you began to feed your daughter.
"How old are you Chrollo?" You asked him. The kitchen was literally next to the living room, so he could easily hear anything you said.
"I'm twenty-six."
"Really? You seem so young. I'm also twenty-six!"
Hmm. Two years younger than Hisoka. He thought to himself as he ran the water and began scrubbing. There were only a handful of dishes in the sink but he figured every little thing counted.
"What a coincidence. Perhaps I seem young because I don't have a family like you."
"You could, I'm sure. I feel like you could find a wife easily." You flattered him.
"Ah, it's not quite that simple. I'm very... picky. And I always want what I can't have. Nature of a thief I suppose." And it's exactly what I'm doing here. He thought devilishly.

Mindful Beauty
Damien Petrotti barricaded himself within his logical, black and white walls, believing there is no area for second chances, for grey areas, or messy emotions. When he first meets the quiet and soft-spoken Ella Cortesa, a Spanish, delicate girl, he can't help but dislike her naivety and ignorance of the world. He lives in the court, deciding between right and wrong, and she lives advising people, giving them psychological help. He's not as cold as she thinks, and she's not as naive as he thinks.A modern combination of mind over heart, or is it heart over mind?•••Ch. 39 Excerpt"Thank you for having the patience with me." Damien broke the silence, almost inaudibly when he began to feel Ella's full body trust him enough to begin to fall unconscious over him.Thinking that Ella wouldn't respond, Damien was ready to close his eyes and also go to sleep, but then he felt Ella's cold hand give him the smallest and most adoring squeeze on his warm fingers, her hum of something incoherent before she stilled completely, her breathing falling deeply.Even in her sleep, she could sense Damien, she would respond even in unconsciousness, and that made Damien's heart skip a beat."To say that you are my whole existence and life would be the biggest understatement, my Ella." Damien sighed, incredulous that he had been blessed with such a beautiful and extraordinary human.
