Symmetry

Chapter 2

Death the Kid's POV

I was thinking about Sei all night. She thought my unsymmetrical hair made me cute. I liked that. She thought I was cute. She didn't think I was garbage. And she was symmetrical. And she was beautiful. But something bugged me. What if she didn't mean it? I began to spazz when Liz hit me over the head.

"Calm down you cry baby!" I nodded and went to bed. So much beautiful symmetry. I fell asleep and had my usual symmetrical dreams, but then they changed... Sei was there.. and we were... Oh my gosh!

I sat up quickly and was panting. I looked down and noticed something that I never had. Damn you puberty. I tried to go back to bed, but every time I fell asleep I picked up where me and Sei left off. This went on all night! Damn it.

It was now morning and I started to head to school. I got there and sat in my seat. Sei wasn't here yet? Soul looked at me.

"Yo Kid? You okay?" I looked at him and he flinched. I was so tired, my cheekbones and eye sockets must have been showing. "What the hell happened to you?" I looked at him and scooted closer to him.

"Promise me you won't tell anyone?" he nodded and I whispered it to him. He stopped and smirked.

"Kid. Never thought you'd be the man to dream that. That's cool." I smiled a little and Professor Stein walked in and started attendance. Sei still wasn't here yet. Damn it. Then, just like it was planned, Sei and Mimi came in right when Stein said their names.

"Sorry we're late. My alarm clock went off an hour late." I looked at her and when she looked at me she looked at the floor. What was wrong with her? She came up and didn't even look at me like usual. I may have only known her for a day, but still. I felt kind of down. It was lunch time and I walked over to Sei. I was about to speak when Mimi came over and glared.

"I'm sorry Kid. I don't think Sei wants to speak with you today." I felt kinda hurt. Why didn't she? I sat with the others at lunch and Sei and Mimi sat at their own desks. Mimi seemed pissed and Sei... was she... crying? She was. I stood and unintentionally walked over to her. Mimi tried to get in the way, but I walked around her.

"Sei? What's wrong." She didn't looked at me, but seemed to cry harder. "Sei? Was it something I did? Did what I say last night upset you I'm sorry if I did. Can you please answer me?" She shook her head. "Sei, I didn't mean it. I didn't mean anything I said last night" She seemed to stop crying and stared at the floor. Oh shit. I did mean when I said she was beautifully symmetrical.

"Wait, Sei I-I didn't mean that. I did mean what I said last night." I could feel Mimi glaring and heard her crack her knuckles. Damn it. What to do what to do. I didn't even think and pulled Sei into my arms. I heard gasps, growls, and felt Sei stiffen. I didn't know what to do know. Think Kid think! Um....

"Sei. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry. I meant it when I said you were beautifully symmetrical. And I still do. You are the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on." I blushed slightly and pulled away. When she looked at me she was blushing. "Sei?" She looked at the ground again. Damn it. I tried to comfort her again, but Mimi had grabbed me and shoved me into a wall.

"You bastard. Keep your asymmetrical hands off of Sei." I fell to the ground and began to grovel.

"You're right. I'm disgusting. Asymmetrical trash. Garbage. I should die. How can anyone bear to look at me? I'm hideous!" I heard footsteps come closer to me.

"Kid. I already told you that you weren't garbage. Don't make me hit you. I told you that your asymmetrical hair made you cute. Say you're garbage or hideous in my earshot again and I'll kick your ass." I looked up at her blushing. She did think I was cute. I stood and wrapped my arms around her.
