Your POV 

-After Class- 

I watched through my tired eyes as everyone left. Stein was at his desk still. He was finishing up a few papers before we had to leave. I grabbed my stuff and started to slowly walk down the stairs to Stein's desk. He looked at me and dropped his pen on the desk. I looked at him through my bangs. "Are you ready?" he asked. "I've been waiting on you," I said. He sighed and shoved everything into his desk. He stood and we left the class with me traveling close behind. I would get a few glances from him to make sure I was still following. 

I heard the familiar clicking of his screw once again. I sighed lightly. I walked a little faster and caught up with him. I was walking beside him for maybe about three minutes before something hit me. I fell back and looked at the ceiling for a minute. I sat up and saw Stein looking off at some kid. I stood and looked. Stein was ready to pounce. I looked at the kid and sighed. It was BlackStar I believe his name is. He had a grin on his face and I rose a brow. Stein tried to walk over to him but I grabbed his wrist. "I'm alright," I said. He looked at me before sighing. 

"Why did you do that?"I asked. He chuckled. "You are the only student here that I haven't beaten in a fight," he said and started to walk circles around me. "I'm not a fighter," I said. He chuckled and grabbed my arm slamming me against the wall. "Tomorrow after school we meet in the graveyard...If you don't show up then I win by default," he said. He let me go jerkingly and I looked at him with my half open eyes. 

Stein looked at him before reaching into his pocket. I watched as he pulled out his scalpel. "Stein don't," I said. He turned to me. "Why not?" he asked. "It's my problem," I said and we continued to walk home. We got home and I put my stuff down on my usual window seat and walked over to Stein. "I'm going for a walk," I said. He looked at me from his paper. "It's supposed to rain," he said. I nodded and looked over to him while I grabbed the door. "I know..That's the point," I said. 

Without another word I opened the door and left down to the graveyard. I looked at the sky and it was growing darker by the minute. I sighed and leaned against a gravestone. It started to rain and I smiled slightly. Now that I think about it I don't think Stein has really seen me smile. I sighed and leaned my face to the sky letting the rain fall on it. Tomorrow is going to be interesting. I have to figure out a way to fight BlackStar. I am a meister but I don't have a weapon. The only thing I can think of is Soul Force and Soul Suture. 

I can only do that because Stein taught me how to do that because he didn't see me getting a weapon anytime soon. Some faith he has in me. I sighed again and started to walk home. I looked at my hands and sighed. I saw (f/c) lightning coming from each palm. I smirked and slammed them to the ground. The ground rippled out and caved in. I smirked and walked away. I looked around for a bird. I found one and relaxed. I made a hand motion and it became stuck to the ground. I walked over and sighed. 

I snapped my fingers and it flew off. I stood and walked back to the lab. I remember the first time I was brought to the Patchwork Lab. I never really liked it at first. But then I started to grow a liking to the dark cold areas that it possesses. Stein was the only one that would take me in because of my insomnia. I guess it intrigues him. Spirit was supposed to because of Stein's madness and then his dissection needs. But Spirit was too much of a  pervert for me so I chose to stick around with Stein. 

I swear he can't be around me for more than five minutes without that damn screw turning. I sighed and looked at the sky again. But I guess that's what I love about him. He's the only person that I think has really decided to acknowledge my Insomnia. I chuckled lightly. Sure I like his personality and what not but...I don't think I love him. Hmmm....Love. Such a fascinating word. Something that has left my mind for quite some time now. I never really did think about that word much. 

I've always pushed people away but Stein...I guess was different. I don't understand it myself really. He has always seemed to make me lighten up. I guess that would be why Lord Death made me live with him. He thought that some Social Activity for both of us would be better than sitting in dark corners. But we only talk when we're at school or when he catches me awake. 

I never really did like him until maybe a month after I moved in. I would catch him staring at me every now and then. I thought he was just looking past me or something but that was until the day that he asked me what it was like to have Insomnia. I told him what I've told many other people. "it's hell," I would say. Stein let out a chuckle. He replied with. "If you think that is hell...Try having madness issues," he said. I chuckled for maybe the first time in a while that day and actually managed to look at him. 

He saw my (e/c) eyes for maybe the first time that day. I still remember the look on his face. He had like an awestruck look. He even said that if looks could kill he'd be dead. I didn't think much of it but I guess now that I think about it in a way he called me beautiful. Which no one has done ever. hmmm...Why is my heart rate elevated? I grabbed my chest. I sighed. It relaxed and I found myself at the Patchwork Lab. 

I walked in and shook off some of the water from my hair. I walked through the Lab. I found Stein in his office. "You're back already?" he asked spinning around to me in his chair.  I nodded. "Stein I have a question," I said. He turned his screw. "Go on," he said. I walked over and looked down. "Can you tell me what love is?" I asked (I WANT YOU TO SHOW ME...I had to..) He looked at me confused. "Love . huh?" he asked leaning back. "Well I've never felt it myself why do you want to know?" he asked. 

I shrugged and looked at him. "It doesn't matter," I said. He nodded and stood. "Well what are we going to do for dinner?" he asked. I sighed thinking for a moment. "I don't know you can choose I guess," I said and resumed my place on the window seat watching the rain.
