He didn’t. All he needed to know was that his interest in him was genuine. The why, when, and how were unimportant because what matter was the now. But, clearly, the now wasn’t enough anymore. Now, the future had to be put into consideration – not that he hadn’t already thought it over carefully. He’d always known Mukuro could communicate with Chrome. It was old news. When he’d decided to bring him back to his place, he'd known there was a good chance the illusionist would inform her of his current circumstance and, inevitably, his whereabouts.
He just hadn’t figured he’d be stupid enough to tell him so forthrightly because now he was forced into a position where he’d have to make a difficult decision. There were a number of options he could pick from. First of all, as Mukuro wished, he could take his life away at that very instance. But Chrome would remain an issue to be dealt with. He could eliminate her too, but then he might as well keep Mukuro alive from the start. Secondly, continuing from the previous speculation, he could kill Chrome and cover up her murder (since their work was pretty risk in general) – except for the fact that he rather liked her and he doubt it’d help progress his relationship with Mukuro much. Or, thirdly, and finally, in a possibly more win-win scenario, he could simply explain to Mukuro all the choices he could make and see if it might snap him out of doing any further regrettable acts because he really didn't want to take drastic measures. It would be unseemly.
Guess he’ll reason with him then. A warning was better than nothing, after all. He had a feeling Mukuro didn't want to die either, given his reaction to his threats yesterday. Of course, it didn't mean he'd loosen his grip on him. It felt very soothing.
