Back from the Past ( Death the Kid fanfiction )

Valentines Day Special.

Kid glanced around the hallways of the DWMA, nervously clutching a small pink heart-shaped card in his hands as he stood infront of a wall of lockers. His weapon partners stood behind him and waited patiently, the tallest of the two looking at him with annoyance while the other began to stare outside the window.

"Ugh, seriously Kid, hurry up and slip the card in there already!!! We've been standing here for an hour!!"
"I know, I know, but what if she doesn't like it?! What if the card is not symmetrical enough for her!? What do I do?!"

Liz pinched the bridge of her nose in irritation as the young reaper throws a panic attack on the ground.

"Kid, I'm sure she'll love it no matter what and besides, I don't think the symmetry of the card will affect her. Besides it's the thought that counts after all."

Kid looked up at Liz with hope glowing in his eyes.

"Y-You really think so?"
"Absolutely, now go put that card in there!!"

Kid nodded and walked closer to the locker wall and slipped the card into the vent of a certain locker. He let out a breath that he didn't know that he was holding and strolled down the hallway with Liz and Patty.

"Well I'm glad that that's over, I just hope that she likes it."
"I'm sure she will. Did you remember to sign the card?"
"..."
"...You did sign it, right?"

Kid rushed back to the locker in panic and tried to pry it open with all his strength, but the locker door didn't even budge a centimeter.

"How the heck did you forget to sign it?!"
"I don't know?! I must've forgotten to when I was making sure that both sides of the heart was symmetrical!!!"
"Well it's too late now, the card's in there and there's no way to get it back now."

Kid stopped rattling the locker door and collapsed onto the ground.

"I'm a failure!! A reaper scum!! How can I forget to do such a simple task!? Now she'll never know it was from me!!! I'm a horrible, disgusting reaper who doesn't deserve to be with someone as beautiful as her!!!"

Liz sighed in frustration as Patty laughed at the poor teen wailing on the ground. Soon they heard a pair of footsteps heading their way and quickly hid behind the corner of a wall. Liz peered over to see the lucky recipient of Kid's valentine card walking towards her locker.

"Kid, she's here!!"

Kid quickly looked over to see the said girl to be none other than his sempai, Audri Sinclair. He stared at her long chestnut hair flowing down her back as her calculating sapphire eyes squint in concentration as she turn the dial on her combination lock.

"Oh my death, Liz she's opening her locker!!! She's gonna see it!!"
"Kid, shut up and calm down!!"
"Hahaha, Kid's acting like a total dork!!"
"Patty, shut up!!"

The trio ( well mostly Liz and Kid ) watched in anticipation as Audri open her locker...only to have a small pile of pink cards and letters falling out of her locker and onto the ground. Audri looked at them in surprise as she picked a couple of them up from the ground.

"Woah, who knew Audri had that many admirers in the school?"
"..."

Audri placed all the cards in a small bag when a small pink heart-shaped card fell out and landed on the ground. Kid eyes widen as Audri bent down to pick it up and started to read the contents of the card.

"Liz!!! She's reading it!"
"I know, I'm not blind Kid."

Kid watched as Audri's mouth moved while she read the card, soon a small smile graced upon her lips as her cheeks flushed with a tinge of pink. She tucked the card away into her pocket and dumped the rest of the forgotten cards and letters into her locker as she made her way to class.

"Liz!!! She liked it!!"
"I told you so, now let's get to class before Stein uses us in his next experiment..."

The trio raced down the hall to class as the bell rang for the start of school.

( 1 hour later )

"Ding, Dong, Dead. Dong"

"Alright, this concludes the class for today. You are dismissed."

Professor Stein placed his dissection utensils away as the students quickly packed up. For some reason Kid couldn't concentrate in class at all ( not that it mattered anyway since all they did with Professor Stein was dissection. ). Kid stayed deep in thought of a certain chestnut haired meister until a voice broke him out of it.

"Kid? Are you ok?"

Kid looked behind him to see Audri looking at him with concern. He gave her a reassuring smile and nodded his head.

"I'm fine Audri-sempai, I'm just thinking that's all."
"Oh I see, um, could you meet me later at the balcony after school? I kinda need to talk to you about something..."
"Y-Yeah sure thing."
"Great well I'll see you later then."

Kid watches Audri and she left the classroom, his mind started to fill up with questions and doubts as he slowly left the classroom. Liz noticed this and gently shook the reaper.

"Hey Kid, are you ok?"
"Yeah, it's just that Audri-sempai just asked me to meet up with her later on."
"That's great!!! This is your chance to tell her how you feel."
"Yeah, but what if she rejects my feelings for her? I don't want it to ruin our friendship..."
"Well you're just gonna have to wait and see."

Kid left the group and made his way upstairs towards the balcony. When he arrived his thoughts flooded him with inaccurate scenarios and fantasies of what she might say to him when he meets her.

Imaginary scenario no.1:

Audri nervously walked towards Kid with a small blush on her face, playing with a few strands of her hair.

"W-Well, um...Kid the reason why I called you here is because um...er..."

The redness on Audri's face increases as she takes a breath and looks at Kid straight in the eyes.

"Is because I love you Kid!!!"

Imaginary scenario no. 2:

Audri looked at Kid with pity.

"Kid, the reason I called you up here is to tell you that, I'm in love with someone else..."

Kid shook his head in disbelief.

"What the hell is wrong with me? I'm losing my mind!!"
"Um...Kid are you ok?"

Kid jumped and looked behind him to see Audri standing a few meters away from him and looking at him with concern.

"Audri-sempai!!...Um no I was just...er-"
"Talking to yourself again?"
"Yeah that..."

Audri giggled at this as Kid looked away in embarrassment.

"A-Anyway, what did you call me up here for?"
"Well I called you up here for this.."

Audri pulled out the pink heart-shaped card Kid slipped into her locker this morning.

"This card was from you, wasn't it?"
"H-How did you know?"
"Well, who else would write their messages in the middle of the card where the fold line is?"
"..."

Kid looked away in embarrassment as Audri chuckled at his reaction.

"Well thanks for the Valentines day gift, Kid. I've got one for you too."
"Really?"
"Mhm, close your eyes and no peeking!!"

Kid looked at Audri skeptically, but closed his eyes anyway. A few moments later Kid felt something warm lightly pressing against his lips. Kid felt his face heat up as he returned the gesture to her, pulling her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her. Unbeknownst to them they had an audience watching them from the doorway as they watched the scene before them without being noticed.

"Well it's about damn time."
"Aww~!!! they're so cute together~!!!"
"Hahaha!!"
"Guys, shut up or they'll hear us!!"
