note: this was put up on my dA account long ago. on there the name is "More Lonely (DTKxReader)"
also, this may be really depressing.
"Hey, Kid!"
Death the Kid groaned, sliding his hand down his face. What was she doing this time...? Rather, what was _____ going to say this time?
Kid turned around, raising an eyebrow at _____.
She only grinned, saying, "I thought happiness started with an H. Why does mine start with U?"
He let a sigh slip through his lips. She did this all the time... When would she understand that he did not like her?
"Just go away," he replied, starting to walk. There was a frown etched onto his face, and it most likely wouldn't leave until _____ did.
"... Hey, don't frown. You never know who could be falling in love with your smile."
Kid rolled his eyes. "Whaaatever you say, _____."
---
You smiled weakly. There was one reason and one reason only why you kept using stupid pickup lines on Kid- you were in love with him. Maka knew it, Chrona knew it, Tsubaki, Soul...hell, even BLACK*STAR knew it!
How did Kid not? Or did he know? Patty could have told him. Everyone knew...how come he didn't...?
Every time- every single fucking time you saw him and said something to him, his reaction would always be the same. "Just go away."
Sure, okay. You try sometimes.
But not until you say one specific thing to him. Not until you say one specific line.
Then you'll decide to go away.
Forever.

Kid sighed. It was a peaceful day- perfect symmetry, nice breeze, no ___-
"Of all the beautiful curves on your body, your smile is my favorite."
DEATH FUCKING DAMMIT.
Kid growled slightly. "I've told you repeatedly, go away." He put stress on the last two words. The son of Death turned around to show the female how serious he was.
"I will stop loving you when an apple grows from a mango tree on the 30th of February." _____ had a grin on her face.
A second growl.
"Life without you would be like a broken pencil... pointless." Her smile wavered, but Kid didn't notice.
A third growl.
"If you were a tear in my eye I would not cry for fear of losing you."
Fourth...
"If I had to choose between breathing or loving you, I would say "I love you" with my last breath."
Fifth. Kid had stopped mid-growl when he registered what she said.
---
Your eyes watered up slightly. "Should I smile because we are friends, or cry because I know that is what we will always be?" Your voice didn't waver. You had enough practice to make sure it wouldn't.
"Here, I know what you'll say..." you mumbled. "'Just go away,'" you said in the best Kid-like voice you could use.
---
Kid watched as you walked away, confused. He didn't know if _____ had meant that fifth one or not, and he sort of wanted to know...but you were a little to far away to call to.
---
You hiccuped. The red line across your arm had a jerk in it. It wasn't gonna be the first though...in fact, it wasn't the first.
There was a rope hanging above you. You loved it being there; it was there as a last resort...and you really needed it. It worked before in comforting you, so of course it would now.
As you tied it into an official noose, someone banged on the door to your apartment. Red was streaming down your arms, coloring your white chair with little spots.
You slipped your head through the hole right before the door was busted down. Standing there was all of your friends... Soul, Maka, Chrona...Black*Star, Tsubaki, Liz and Patty...
...Death the Kid...
A tear slipped from your eye.
A smile found it's way onto your face.
Kid stared at you, eyes wide. Everyone else had the same expression as he did, and none of them moved.
"Heh-eh... Hey, Kid. I...guess I can finally prove that I've fallen for you." _____ kicked the chair and a sharp crack was heard. The rope swung back and forth, and no one said anything.
Patty, however, was the first to start crying. Next was Maka, and Chrona did his best to hold it in. Soul looked like he lost one of his best friends in the entire world, Liz was holding Patty close, and Tsubaki was wiping at her face, trying her best to not show how upset she was. Black*Star sniffled, but did a good job at not crying. He had to be strong for his friends...
"__-_____..." Kid stared at your body. His vision blurred, and soon enough, he was yelling. "Why!? Why did you do it!? Why did you have to do it, _____!?" He was sobbing harder than Patty was, and it was surprising how audible his words were.
"Kid, calm down..." Black*Star said, trailing off.
"No! I will not calm down!" Kid yelled. "It's my fault, it's all my fault that this happened! Did you know that!? I'm the one that sent her over the edge, I never bothered to listen to her, and now she has gone away but I want her back I miss her already her annoying pickup lines to her perfect imperfections and-and I don't..." Kid sobbed again, burying his face in his hands.
"I don't know what to do without her..." he whispered.
Soul pulled Kid into a hug, and for once in his life, Death the Kid didn't care about symmetry whatsoever.
He didn't care that his clothes were rumpled.
He didn't care that his hair had stripes on one side and was all messed up.
Kid only cared that he had one less person in the world that didn't let him stay lonely.
quick note: i teared up just glancing over this to see where to italicize.
edit 2/6/15: i still find my "fallen for you" line really funny.
edit 5/18/16: i think ive become immune to crying during this; ++ minor grammar edits
