//Would you look at that, I updated at a reasonable fucking time. Sorry if I'm regularly keeping you up past your bedtime to read some shitty fanfic ;).

((Lol regularly implies I stick to my daily update schedule... ¬¬))

Prepare yourself for savage remarks and an overabundance of Danisnotonfire gifs.

Stein's boring lectures fell onto deaf ears, Kid's words from earlier populating mine.

'I can't believe he stood up for me; what's gotten into him? He wouldn't do shit this crazy for a dare...,' I thought, my head resting in my palms gloomily. 'What the fuck is even going on here?'

The bell's high-pitched shrieks blared throughout the school, kids rising from their chairs and stretching as they made their way out the door. I went to do the same before a large shadow cast itself upon my y/h figure, my eyes darting up to meet bright yellow ones belonging to Kid.

I looked toward Soul pleadingly who had merely shot me a pearly white smirk in response. He quickly stood from his seat and fled from the room with the rest of the crowd, leaving me alone with the demon-boy in front of me.

'Of course,' I thought sadly, 'He'll leave me alone solely for the prosperity of his OTP.'

"F/n...," Kid started unevenly, his gaze fixated on his slender, twiddling thumbs. "I know that you have every right to hate me. I also know that I called you my best friend back there--which isn't true anymore as you probably don't want to be associated with a dick like me--but even so, I really want to be more than just, well, best friends. I can't go on for even a second longer without having you by my side, it's driving me crazy."

My mouth flew open to retaliate angrily, him quickly pressing a finger to my lips with an 'ah, ah, ah!' noise. "Look, I know this probably makes no sense, but neither does love. I really do love you, F/n, and as the handsome prince who saved you, I'm now going to have to ask you for my thank-you-kiss."

"You're no handsome prince," I laughed while placing a hand on my hip, my eyes rolling in annoyance. "You're Death the Kid. Obviously, you're about to blackmail me for the save--,"

"Which you could thank me for, by the way," Kid said with a wink, "You're right, though. Sorry, I have to do this, but you would never give me the opportunity unless I blackmailed you."

"What do you want?" I sighed, "I do owe you, so I may give you what you want as long as it's not too crazy," Kid's eyes lit up, him grabbing my hands with a childish smile breaking out on his face.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Kid cheered, his childlike expression quickly growing into a more serious one. His fingers tangled with mine. "What I want is for you to give me a chance."

I was glad I wasn't drinking anything because I surely would have to spit it out in pure shock. Death the Kid--the Death the Kid--is asking me for something other than sex or a completely meaningless activity like it. A coy smile worked its way onto his lips at my look of befuddlement, him swinging our hands back and forth childishly.

"So, what do you say? I just want time to prove myself to you. I'm not forcing you to go on any of the dates I ask you on or anything--though it would be nice if you accepted; I just want you to possibly give me a shot?" I'm sure if my mouth wasn't hanging open before, it was now. Kid punched my arm lightly in mock annoyance at my bewilderment, whining out a small and sarcastic, 'shut uuuuup'.

"Fine," I grumbled, a cheer escaping Kid's lips.

"I mean, uh, yeah, cool. Great. Awesome," Kid fumbled around nervously, acting like an innocent 9th grader asking his 10th-grade crush out on a date. I wanted to hate him with all my heart, yet his cuteness seemed to slightly melt the icy barrier I left around it.
