You always say Chrollo has meticulously thought of every single situation and outcome.
What is something darling could say/ask to make him freeze for a little longer than normal?
there are two potential routes.
the first route is to present him with the pufferfish dilemma,
or the far less fun route which is hitting him with a classic, "I think we should see other people."
any breakup attempts would not be well-received from chrollo, but this one in particular stirs up some negative sentiments. from his perspective, your morals might not perfectly align, but you have this titillating chemistry. he prides himself on his ability to read others, so for him to miss this discontentment in you doesn't bode well. it's a slight loss in power he wants to regain as soon as possible.
then there's the implication that you'd prefer someone else over him. this cuts him to the bone. there's his inherent possessiveness as a thief on the surface, then beneath that, loneliness that takes the form of roots spreading to unknown depths. he feels something for you, a sensation he attributes to the apex of a heist or when he gets his hands on a special curio. those sensations peak and fade. adrenaline wears off, excitement plateaus...
yes, he does occasionally get a rush from being around you, but what he finds far more fascinating is when he doesn't. when you're both simply reading in the same room, the ambiance that of pages turning rather than sirens and gore squelching. watching you fold laundry into separate piles so your clothes don't get mixed up. when you text him about an awful first date you're overhearing.
chrollo tried analyzing these sensations and came to no world-shattering conclusion. the thought he eventually arrived at is it's just... nice. warm. unassuming.
he can't find that with anyone else. so, his next best solution is to ensure you don't have the opportunity to find it with anyone else either.

At this point, gender nonconformity is about what the person says their experience is.
If a woman with a beard or a man with lipstick and a mustache says they're gender nonconforming, then they are! If a woman with short hair or a man with long hair says they aren't, they aren't! And that's not even getting into the awesome nonbinary, abinary, genderqueer, intersex, and general genderfuckery that may both be and not be conforming.
So much of what is even considered gender conforming or gender nonconforming is based on a world of exclusion. When we start defining one's conformity with whether they fit into white cishetero perisex standards or not, we play into the idea that there's only a very narrow window of what is considered worthy of time and thought.
