Kris x Anon: Serenity

Kris x Anon: Serenity


(Requested by Anonymous)





You set your bike to lean against the fence, not too worried about anyone taking it. Considering the town you lived in.

Smiling at the sight of your best friend's house, you walk up towards the door, taking a moment to enjoy the cool breeze coming from the forest behind the house.

You knock on the door, not having to wait long before it opens up, a familiar small statured human standing at the doorway, wearing the same shirt and pants he always does.

You can just barely make out his crimson eyes from under his bangs, seeing his expression light up at the sight of you.

"...Hey, Anon." He says softly, stepping aside to let you in. He knew you were coming of course, but he still seemed a little surprised.

"Hey Kris, ready to get handed to you in smash bros again?" You say jokingly, walking in. He smiles slightly and shakes his head, closing the door.

You and him both know that you've haven't won against him yet. He's been on a streak since graduation.

Regardless, he humors you by telling you that he'll do his absolute best this time around, causing you to chuckle.

The two of you sit on the floor, backs against the couch as the old console turns on. Even after all this time, the thing still works. Including the TV that Kris always has to replug in thanks to his mother.

Oh well. At least you could spend the night here. She isn't supposed to be coming back for another day.

After picking your characters (and getting a playful glare from Kris when you picked Kirby), the two of you begin your button-mashing brawl.

Well… you were the one button mashing. His movements were all calculated and well timed. Yours were really just spastic, getting a lucky strike or dodge here and there.

In the end, he absolutely demolishes you in several games, but you don't mind. You know he has fun and so do you.

Since at the end of the day, you've spent time with him. And got to see his soft, precious smile of course.

"I really got handled Anon, jeez…"  Kris teases you, causing you to chuckle and set your controller down in defeat.

"I told you that you would!" You say with a smile, standing up, offering Kris a hand. He silently giggles, before gazing at your hand for a second, accepting it.

As you help him up, notice the cute blush on his face and just barely hear him say 'Thank you' under his breath, leading the way to the kitchen.

The two of you then get some of his mom's butterscotch pie from the fridge, heating it up, with him giving you a generous slice.

It honestly surprised you a little bit at this, since you know more than anyone just how much Kris adores the pies and how stingy he used to be.

"Thank you Kris."

He sets a fork on your plate, smiling up at you. The two of you both go back to the living room, sitting on the couch together as you log into the Netflix account you both share, beginning to play one of Kris's favorite shows.

"How has summer been treating you, Anon?" Kris asks you after digging into the first piece of his pie.

"It's been hotter than last year that's for sure… but we finally have AC installed, so it's nowhere near as bad now."

"Plus, the ice cream you always slip me for free while you're at work helps just as much too." You say with a smug smile, taking the first bite of your pie slice.

It was so, so good.

Kris laughs a little bit, much to your delight, his bangs bouncing and clearing up just slightly, allowing you a near full view of his soft, expressive and cute face.

"One of my co-workers almost caught me last time, you know."

"But it was fine. He cares about that place as much as I do."

"A whole lot I presume." You say jokingly. He smiles slightly and continues to dig into his pie, with you doing the same. Kris continues to talk about other things that have been on his mind, such as upcoming movies that you and him have either been excited to watch, or have ragged on to absolutely no end. Yet still plan to watch of course.

As well as his plans for saving enough money to buy a brand new console, having been sold when he and you played some games back at your home.

You yourself have been secretly planning to get the console for his birthday, which was rapidly approaching. Of course, you wouldn't tell him this any time soon, but just the thought of him being so happy at such a gift warms your heart.

Over the time you've spent with Kris since you've moved here, he's gotten so much more talkative. With you, at least. You remember the first time you both had a full on conversation and how polite and knowledgeable he was.

Of course, he is still quite reserved around others, but around you? It was nearly a night and day difference.

Even when you two didn't talk and just relaxed, you felt as if it were more than enough. To just enjoy a peaceful silence together.

And he very much felt the same during those times.

Both of you continue to talk and watch the show until mid-evening comes around, well after the sun has set. Once the final episode ends, Kris turns to you.

"...wanna go to the backyard and… chill out there instead?"

You nod happily, taking both of your plates to the kitchen, following Kris.

But before the two of you could go outside, he prepares himself a cup of hot chocolate, as well as one for you. Despite how hot it was in the day, the night was really cool and would make for the perfect weather to drink such a thing.

Plus the fact that he wants to share his favorite drink with you melted your heart to no end.

After a few minutes, you and him walk out to the porch, sitting down in the middle of the steps, the cool, late evening breeze making you shiver, feeling all the more relaxed.

Kris notices this and smiles a little, only to shiver himself. You giggle and he simply blushes, looking down at the cup of hot chocolate in his hands, then taking a small sip.

You look up at the sky, clear as can be, thankfully. You loved stargazing.

Especially with Kris.

You sigh softly after taking a sip of the hot chocolate in your hands, a smile appearing on your face as you're warmed to the core.

It stays like this for a while, a peaceful silence that you've both shared plenty of times before.

Until you see Kris open his mouth, looking towards you, before closing his mouth and looking down.

You turn to Kris and give him a soft smile, hoping he will speak his mind.

He thankfully gets the message across and lets out a very soft sigh.

"...Whenever I come out here during the night, I usually listen to some music. Just sit here, look up at the sky and listen to something."

"Just so it all feels less… lonely. And…"

He then looks down at the half empty cup, pausing for a moment.

"...and to get my mind off of other… things."

You nod in complete understanding, staying quiet and letting him continue.

"...I didn't bring music to listen to this time though…"

"...because you're here."

You look over to him, being able to clearly make out his blushing face under the moonlight.

"I-I'm sorry Anon, I know that sounded really weird, even for m-"

"No, no. It's alright, Kris" You stop him, not wanting him to backtrack on what he said.

"I understand completely."

"...for what's it's worth Kris, I'll always be there for you. No matter what."

"You don't ever have to feel lonely if I can help it." You say softly, speaking with your heart and soul despite your reddening face.

He remains quiet, looking down at his hot chocolate, his fingers twiddling about a bit. Suddenly, he scoots just a liiiittle bit closer to you.

You do the same, both of your faces growing more and more red.

Kris and you continue to scoot closer, until you're shoulder to shoulder with one another.

Softly, almost faintly so, you hear him respond to what you said earlier.

"...I never feel lonely with you around."





The two of you bask in the cool night under a clear sky, enjoying a serene silence between the two of you. Despite your heart soaring beyond the skies, you remain relaxed and comfortable.

And oh so happy.

Eventually, Kris falls asleep on your shoulder and you rest your head above his, following soon after into a deep, comfortable sleep together.
