Chapter 17 - On the Road

You didn't know how much you were supposed to take, maybe two, maybe three pairs of clothing?

"Why are you worrying so much?" Chris, who was sitting on your bed, his long legs stretched and his asymmetrical rip on one knee一he got it from a accident in his skateboard, you can see the scar under it一and his green shirt, limp on his slim body.

He's been in your apartment for an hour, at most. You have hoped to see Hachirou before you left, but you were to leave in a few minutes.

Meeting Kid, Liz, and Patti at the town square, and take Lord Death's car to a motel that was near the hideout, but a 5 mile hike would have to be delegated. Honestly, hiking was a big problem to you, you were the Weapon. You didn't have to fight combat, not really. Though it was nice to be in shape. Chris could easily hike 5 miles, and so could Kid. Maybe Liz and Patti, but you knew you would be complaining the entire time.

"We are to leave our stuff at the motel and are to sleep in the enemies' former hideout. I don't see how you're not worrying." You said, exasperated and flinging your arms about. "Well, gee, (y/n). I just don't want to get all worked up. We have a five hour car trip to hear you and Kid get on like you were married for 40 years一"

"Why do you all say that?" You snapped, shoving some clothes in your luggage. "I would rather marry Black Star than Death The Kid," Lies, all lies. "I would way prefer to go on this trip with him. Too bad he's too loud mouthed for his own good." You huffed a scoff. Chris rolled his eyes.

"I don't see why you're like this. You had such a big crush on him earlier this year. What's gotten into you?" He said like an interrogator, intertwining his hands that met in front of his knees, that held his elbows.

You gave him a hard, cold look, and closed your luggage, with a loud bang. He jumped in his seat. "Nothing has gotten into me! I am perfectly normal!"

"No, you're not. You're acting like Hermione Granger." He stood up, reaching inches above you. "You always do when you're flustered, which I find strange since you're usually laid back. What's wrong?" He asked in a softer voice.

"I do not act like Hermione! If anything Maka acts like her." You grumbled. "Yeah, she does. Not so much anymore, I do have to say. She's laid back too, sometimes. Quite a bit actually. You act like Soul when you aren't stressing over something. Whether it be grades or... A little crush."

Your cheeks burned and the top of your ears tinged a strawberry red. "H一How do you know about that?" You whispered harshly, tilting your head slightly away and breaking the stare on your red suitcase. "Maka told me, of course."

Maka and Chris have been quite close lately, and you found it really weird. But, enjoyable.

"What a great friend she is." You mumbled. "She's a better friend than you are!" He exclaimed, taking a step back from you. "You didn't tell me, who's pretty much your brother! I told you everything about me, (y/n). Why couldn't you tell me about this?" Suddenly this conversation has started to get too psychological for your taste, you never liked having conversations like this with Chris. He was never this deep.

"You are best friends with Soul, who's great friends with Kid! You and Soul could easily be confused for a gay couple."

Chris started rambling words of different Japanese that he was trying to speak, unable to pick one. "I am not gay for Soul! How could you say that? He's your boyfriend!"

"I would way rather have you with Soul than myself." You replied, finally having the upper hand in the conversation. "You two are so cute! You guys are so like Uzumaki-san and Uchiha-san in 5th year. You two should date!"
