The heart works better with help

Summary:

Chrome has always been seen as weak, known as the villager who cant even hunt. He spent his life gathering stuff to help Ruri but he had a secret not even she knew, his heart hurt it always had. Chrome often lays in bed wondering “is this the end?”
This is the story of Chrome the science user with a heart that wouldnt hesitate to kill him if he pushed it

(I do have this condition but i also have memory issues so if i forget about this fic please remind me)

Notes:

I have watched both Japanese and English dub/sub however for the sake of my sanity i will be mostly using the English dub chrome’s speech quirks
So bad=good or amazing.
If it gets confusing let me know

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter Text

“Hm, it seems I got some bad stuff today!” Chrome exclaimed happily, on his way to his hut “i should test these out to see if anything will help Rur- I wasn't aware anyone else knew how to make those?” Confusion plastered onto his face as he saw the flying spheres in the air ahead of him. His face turns to worry as he realizes in the village no one knows the sorcery required. “I should hurry”

he takes off for the village hoping they aren’t panicking. ‘Ah damn this cant be good for me i can already feel my heartbeat I’ll regret this tomorrow’

 

POV Senku.

‘Just as i thought these villagers know next to nothing i can work with this though’
in that moment I see a young man running towards the village before stopping, seeming like he can't get enough air. My only thought is ‘how far did he run to look that exhausted?!’
