A Flower -- Crona Gorgon x Maka Albarn (Anime Ver, On Break)

resonation three

That evening, when Crona returned, Maka was sitting on the couch with Blair, reading a book. She still had her uniform on, minus the coat. She looked up at Crona, then smiled.

"Hey! How're you doing?" She had forgotten they were more withdrawn and introverted, so she just went full friendly mode.

"Oh, I-I'm alright.. um, how about you?" They asked back, sitting on the further edge of the couch, away from Maka.

"I'm good."

There was a few minutes of awkward silence before Crona spoke again.

"Um, Maka?"

"Yeah?" Crona played with their hands as they spoke.

"D-do you.. um.. n-nevermind.." They brushed away a strand of their hair that had gotten caught on their face. Maka looked at them again, then a look of concern crossed her face.

"Are you okay? Your face is.. uh.. black-ish..?" She leaned over. Forgetting Crona meant forgetting they had black blood. "Uh, you okay..? I-is that normal? That doesn't look normal." Crona's eyes shyly met Maka's.

Her eyes were a shining emerald green, the light around the two girls trapped inside of her eyes. They shone with concern as she got up.

"Yeah.. I'm fine.. my blood is black.. you don't know that, though.." Crona mumbled.

She can't know.. she just can't..

"I have no idea what that means. Is it a medical term or something?" Maka walked over to Crona and crouched to below their eye level.

"I-it's not.. I.. I can explain it i-if you'd like.." Maka brightened instantly.

"Sure! If you don't mind!" Maka stood up fully. "Before that, do you want something to drink?"

"J-just water." She nodded, then went to the kitchen. She then sank to the floor, her heart racing a hundred miles an hour.

Oh no.. they're so cute.. I can't..!

Maka had a gay panic attack for about ten seconds, then got back up to get her and Crona's water.

In the living room, Crona was also having a gay panic attack. They buried the lower half of their face into a blanket, blushing madly. Ragnarok pulled himself from Crona's back, annoyed.

"Why's it so damn hot? I need water!" Maka poked her head out from the kitchen upon hearing the unfamiliar voice.

She didn't question it, even though she was still confused with Crona and Ragnarok.

"Alright, one moment!" She disappeared back into the kitchen.

"Crona. Dumbass. Get up. I can't handle Maka either. Now just tell her." Ragnarok put his paws on their head, resting his own on it as well.

"You love Maka too?" Crona asked quietly.

"Wh-what??? What the fuck does that mean??" (Not a ship/competition, he's part of Crona and they share feelings like this.) Crona smiled to themself.

I'm not alone in this.. actually, I am.

They sighed. Maka came back from the kitchen, giving the other two their water while holding her own. Crona set the blanket down.

"Black blood, right?" Maka nodded. "From what I know of it with Ragnarok, it can be cool to other people." Maka focused on Crona's eyes as they (and Ragnarok) spoke, listening but lost.

Their eyes were a pale blue-lavender, dull like steel. But they shone each time Crona caught Maka looking at them. And their cheeks flushed black each time as well. Maka thought that was adorable.
