Crona (Soul Eater) *People Skills*

Crona stared up at the tall building, his body shaking just a bit as he timidly considered going into the DWMA. Ragnarok was by his side, per usual, taunting and teasing him about being such a baby. Ragnarok began pulling his hair and punching the purple haired boy.
"Ow! Ragnarok quit it! Cut it out that hurts! Ragnarok someone might see. OW!" Crona cried out in pain until the sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the air.
Ragnarok stopped, Crona's cheek still pinched between his fingers as the two stared at the entity reaching the top of the steps. (Y/n) stepped into view, heavy steps caused by the long trip up the never ending stairs. As you approached the top, a hefty sigh escaped your slightly chapped lips and you sat criss-crossed on the ground to catch your breath, not noticing the weapon and meister combo. Crona's cheeks heated up at your presence. You were the only person at the DWMA who didn't immediately turn him away the moment he expressed he wanted to do better but didn't know how. He'd grown quite fond of you and wouldn't dare step anywhere out of his comfort zone if you weren't around.
"Hey Crona get your head out the clouds and speak to your (boy/girl)friend!" Ragnarok taunted as he tugged Crona's cheek.
The loud outburst caught your attention and you stood up immediately, placing a slight smile on your features, "Oh Crona! Ragnarok. I didn't see you guys there." You scratched the back of your head and let out a soft laugh, "And Ragnarok I thought I told you to stop picking on Crona? He'll never get better with you doing that."
Ragnarok stopped, "Eh?" He let out a squeak of a word before letting go, crossing his arms, and turning his head with a huff like a child.
"M-morning (Y-Y/n). G-going to class today?" Crona asked shyly, rubbing his arm and casting his gaze away.
You simply turned his chin up just a bit so his eyes would meet your's, "It's ok to look people in the eye Crona. People like that."
Crona's blush darkened at the touch of your skin on his face. You didn't speak as you linked your arm with his and pulled him into the building. This happened a few times before, but instead of leading him to Stein's class, you passed the room and walked into an empty class.
Crona searched the room, noticing it was empty, "W-what're we doing h-here (Y/n)?" He gave you a worried gaze, "We could g-get in trouble." He whimpered softly.
You placed your bag on the desk in the room as you listened to his nervous response, "It's fine Crona. I'm just a bit busy after school so I thought we could work on people skills during class today."
You gave him a confident smile as your eyes closed from the action. You had taken it upon yourself to reach out to Crona so he could integrate better at the DWMA. At first Crona was adamant that there was no way he could be accepted. That everyone knew he was a monster and couldn't change. But it's been about two weeks and he's doing much better. He even speaks to some people on the road that make eye contact with them instead of shying away.
"P-people s-skills?" Crona questioned.
Ragnarok hit the back of his head, "How to talk you dumbass! So you can stop being dull wallpaper!!"
"Ragnarok." You spoke in a calm and stern tone, and the black blood weapon ceased, albeit grumbling profanities under his breath.
"I-I think this i-is a waste of t-time (Y/n)." Crona spoke slowly.
You shook your head and took a seat on the floor, motioning for Crona to follow suit, "Nonsense. I think I've just figured it out."
"F-figured what out?" Crona tilted his head cutely as he placed his hands in his lap.
"How to stop your stutter. Or at least help it." You gave him a thumbs up, "I hope." You said with a chuckle in your breath, "So. Crona would you say you speak fast or slow?"
"U-u-umm... I-I" Crona began to panic from the simple question, "Fast? N-no wait s-slow? Is t-this a trick question (Y/n)?" Crona's neck and ears tinted a cherry red at his sudden embarrassment.
"It's not a trick Crona so here's the answer. Slow. You stutter because you speak slow." You explained,
Crona shifted uncomfortably, "H-how does how fast I t-talk affect my stuttering?"
You gently tugged the sleeves of your jacket into the palm of your hands as you explained, "Well, when people are nervous they can do one of two things when they talk; slow down and stutter, or speed up so nobody understands you."
"B-but if I speed up t-then people won't u-understand me!"
"Not like they do anyways." Ragnarok laughed out before noticing the glare you were sending his way. "Sorry..."
You turned a kind gaze back to Crona, "But you don't have to speed up a lot. Just talk to me. If I asked you to talk faster to me, how would you talk?"
Crona touched the tips of his index fingers together repeatedly, "W-well... I guess..." He took in a soft breath before squeezing his eyes shut, "H-hi I'm Crona and I really don't know what I'm doing." Crona spoke a bit quickly, but you were still able to understand what he said.
You jumped up and clapped excitedly, "There you go Crona!" Crona flinched a bit but smiled a shy smile at your excitement, "I understood you and you only stuttered once."
You held out one finger to indicate "once" and Crona ran his hand over his hair nervously, "S-so if I just t-talk fast... t-then people might talk to m-me?" Crona looked up with puppy dog eyes of expectancy.
You gripped his hands and helped him to his feet and nodded, "People think it's less weird if you talk fast versus slow anyways." You laughed a bit, but you could feel Crona's hands growing clammy in your own, "Everything ok Crona?"
Crona let go immediately and began touching his fingers together again, "C-can I-I try a-again?"
He glanced up at you as he tried not to just freak out and run away, "Of course! Have at it."
Crona took in another shaky breath, shutting his eyes as he hesitated, "Ireallyappreciateverythingyou'vebeendoingformeandithinkimightkindoflikeyouimsorry!!"
You blinked slightly, your mind working apart everything he said in the speedy sentence. Crona peaked one eye open when you remained silent. You had this blank look on your face and Crona wished he could evaporate into air at this moment. As you reached the end of his sentence in your mind, your eyes widened slightly, a dark blush tinted your whole face red and a large smile made its way to your lips. Now you were the speechless one.
"(Y-y-y/n) I-I-I'm s-sorry...." Crona stuttered out.
You simply grabbed his hands in yours again, "I just had to play catch up with the words you said Crona. Maybe slow down just a bit if you're gonna tell me something as important as you actually like me back."
"W-w-w-what?" Crona asked, his face showing more shock than you thought one face could.
"It means she likes you too idiot! Are you deaf now too?!" Ragnarok cried, pulling Crona's hair.
"Shush you!" You scolded, shoving Ragnarok's face behind Crona as if that meant he was no longer there, "Now. Crona. What do you say we go grab some ice cream and keep this conversation going?"
Crona's grip on the hand still holding yours tightened as he smiled and tilted his head slightly, "Sure!"
You and Crona left school and his people skills definitely got better from that point. Maybe not with everyone, but enough for him to ask you out properly without stuttering or speeding through his words.
Of course you said yes.
