Utterly lonesome (Death the Kid x Crona)

Chapter 5

"Do you have to go?" Crona looked down, not wanting to let go of Kid's hand.

"I can't ditch. Anyways, you'll be fine. I will be back as soon as class gets out." Crona frowned. Kid let go of Crona's hand. It was killing him inside that he had to go to school... After what Crona had told him. "See you later." Kid said. And he was off, not looking back. If Kid looked back then he probably would not be able to leave at all.

The nurse from earlier smiled and waved as he left. A lot has happened in the past couple days.

Kid arrived at the DWMA and started walking to class. The last time he was here, he was trying to get Crona to come to his house. Suddenly, Kid thought about Maka and how the last time he saw her, she was running off crying. What would he do when he saw her today? Maybe he should explain. Hopefully she had calmed down by now.

Kid arrived to class and saw Soul but no Maka. He sat close by. 

"Hey, where's Maka?" Kid asked.

Soul was leaning back in his chair, arms crossed. "Heck if I know. She left me And BlackStar at the police station." His tone turned angry. "Where ever she went, she better have had a pretty darn good time."

Just after he said that, Maka had just walked in with Dr. Stein. Probably just a coincidence. But why was Stein nearly late? As Maka walked up to her seat, Dr. Stein sat in his spin chair. "Good morning class," He began. "Today we will be learning more about the..."

His words blurred in Kid's ears. Something about weapons and their meisters. It was hard to listen over the buzzing thoughts on how Kid could have so easily asked Crona out on a date. It was in his mouth, the taste of the words on his tongue. It was probably too soon anyway. The last thing someone wants is for the person that stabbed them to ask them out on a date. 

It wasn't my fault, though! He thought to himself with haste. It was completely an accident. But after Crona's confession it seemed like the perfect thing to say to prove the he wasn't going to leave Crona behind.

He looked over and saw Maka taking notes and Soul looking like he was going to fall asleep. Weirdly, Maka looked happy, with no sign if the girl nearly having a complete breakdown from just the other day. What happened between that time in the hospital and now? Did it have anything to do with Professor Stein? Kid thought. But then he thought that they probably just saw each other on the way to School and walked together. But why were they both nearly late? Anyways, it was not his problem. Crona. Crona was his problem. Kid would ask. He knew that now he would ask Crona on a date. He got the sudden confidence boost. Now just hope it lasts until after school.

The rest of school lasted way to long. But Kid still felt confident. He got up from his seat and walked down the aisle, onto the front of the class room. As he walked out into the hallway, he saw Soul walk angrily over to Maka.

"Maka!" He shouted. She turned. Kid walked up but kept his distance enough to not be involved if he did not want to be. Soul got in Maka's face.

"Where in the world were you the other night? You left me at the police station!"

Maka looked down. "Oh... I-I'm so sorry, Soul. I guess I forgot."

"How?" Soul almost spit.

Kid just realized this might be his fault. With what happened that night. But where did she go?

"Professor stei-" Maka got cut off by Kid.

"It's my fau... Excuse me, what, Maka? Kid looked at her.

Maka looked to the side. "I stayed the night with professor Stein and forgot."

Soul's snarl turn into a smirk. "Congrats, I knew you had it in you." She blushed hard with a hint of anger.

"He's our teacher, Soul, that would be wrong!" Then she thought to herself self. Would it?

"Suuurrre," Soul drug out the word with a smirk and slight chuckle.

"Quit it, Soul!" Maka said.

Then Kid, seeing that the conversation had lost all seriousness, backed out and walked toward the school's exit. He had remembered what he was going to do. He was going to ask out Crona. The very thought made his heart race.

He walked up to Crona's hospital room door. He took a deep breath. Hesitating slightly, he walked in. "Kid?" Crona's head shot up, trying to jump out of bed and hug him. "Oww!" Crona grabbed onto stomach.

"What did I say?" Kid said with haste, running over.

"I'm sorry, Kid... I-I just missed you so much. You left after you said you would not."

He looked down. "I'm sorry," Then Kid looked Crona in the eyes. "But you know what?"

"Hmm?"

Kid smiled. "Let me take you out on a date."
