ChiMondo Angst

{art by me}

Mondo had been staring at the floor for about an hour at this point in time. He was caught up in his own fears and insecurities as he waited for Chihiro, those thoughts hidden by false anger. Mondo hadn't been quite himself lately and it showed, which made Chihiro a little more cautious around him since she didn't want to upset him anymore than he seemed.

The caramel haired girl soon arrived at the door for the tall man, smiling as she kept her sweet aura around her. She just wanted to seem happy for Mondo, as she noticed it made him calmer. Chihiro knocked at the door, patiently waiting for her cornheaded boyfriend to come out with her. Mondo opened the door after a matter of moments, giving a softer smile upon seeing his girlfriend all dressed up.

"Well don't you look lovely," The taller, dual haired male commented, earning a soft blush and a giggle from the small girl in front of him.

"T-Thank you, Mondo... You look nice as well," Chihiro squeaked out shyly, though he did look rather pleasant in comparison to his usual attire.

"Thanks, ya ready to go?" the usually brash male asked.

"Whenever you are."

"Alright, then let's go," Mondo suggested, taking Chihiro's small hand in his own.

It was common knowledge that Chihiro was small and fragile, and it was common knowledge that Mondo was tall and rough. But he stayed careful with Chihiro. He never wanted to be too harsh around her, the thought of making her cry too much for him to bare.

The two headed off to the restaurant, Chihiro smiling softly and Mondo looking around, giving death glares to anyone who laid an eye on his girlfriend. Needless to say, he was protective of his little flower.

"Mondo, This way," the small girl reminded, seeing as the other had gotten lost in thought.

"Right," was all he responded with. The lavender eyed male walked in with the brown eyed girl, getting a bit more on edge upon hearing the people speaking.

"Table for two?" Asked the busboy, grabbing two menus.

"Yes, Please!" Chihiro exclaimed, humming in slight confusion as Mondo let go of her hand, though not making a big deal about it on the outside.

"Follow me, please," the busboy requested, and the couple did, side by side.

The two were seated and as the usual conversation with the waiter went on, Chihiro noticed Mondo spacing out, then glaring softly when dragged back into reality. Chihiro just kept up her soft and shy demeanor, smiling towards her boyfriend despite his annoyed appearance.

Mondo was quaking on the inside, worried about what seemed to be nothing to most people.

*I'm worried I'll hurt her*
**Simple Solution, Don't hurt her**

Easy enough for most, but what about when you have major anger issues that cause you to lash out?

*I want to hold her hand*
**Then do it**

But she's so small, and his hands are so big and his grip is so strong, he doesn't want to break it.

*She means everything to me*
**Gross, Dude. Don't base your life around her**

Mondo was once again pulled back into reality by accidentally looking into Chihiro's brown eyes, not glaring this time and giving a soft smile for a brief second for the girl. Chihiro loved it when Mondo smiled, though she was worried about him.

The dinner continued awkwardly yet smoothly, ending with dessert and the two splitting the bill. It was always Chihiro's idea yo split the bill, she didn't want to make Mondo pay for her meal.

"What's going on?" the smaller brunette asked in a gentle tone, looking up to the muscular man.

"Hm? Hell you mean?" Mondo responded, though he was getting defensive again.

*Don't hide your feelings, Mondo,*
**Shut up, Daiya**

He thought to himself, not hearing Chihiro's statement, and feeling like absolute shit when he noticed her shyly look back to the ground and hold herself closer to him. He simply held her close to his body, keeping the false anger within him hidden. He wanted to protect Chihiro.

Mondo soon made it back to his dorm, allowing Chihiro inside and giving a soft smile towards her. She returned the smile easily, hugging onto the tall male and relaxing in his musk.

"I'm sorry if I'm annoying you," The caramel haired girl apologized, "I just want to spend time with you... I understand if you want to be alone sometimes—" she was cut off by a rough push to the stomach, causing her to grunt and hit the wall.

*FUCK, NO—*

Mondo's insecurities had manufactured themselves into anger and rage, though it instantly settled once he saw his girlfriend on the floor.

He hurt her.
She was small and fragile.
His flower, his everything— how could he??

He had been told everything he needed to hear and he... he pushed her against the hard wall.

"C-Chihiro—" He tried you get to her, but seeing her teary eyes made him freeze.

But still.

She reached for him, a soft and pained smile on her face. The girl could not have been more sweet, she just needed to be held by Mondo.

He obliged, picking her up and holding her close to his body on his bed. He needed to feel her body close to his, he needed to know that she was there for him, and he needed to hear her voice.
