Soul eater: Pandora box

7: homonculus

kid: I have to tell you something.

red: what?

kid: don't do things alone.  I am here.

red: I...don't need help.Shinigami sama should have sent me for another article.

kid: why do you always take up everything?

red: I was born for this purpose.

kid: there's no such thing.

red: you don't have to understand. You just have to not get in my way. When I solo, I mean it. Its just blue and me.

kid: than what's that night?

red: that was something else. Other than that night, its just blue and me.

kid: red you are not alone.

red: I know . That's why I can't let others get hurt.

kid: that's not what I mean. You have me.You have us.

red: stop it!!!! Stop this...together thingy!!! I...I have to be alone.

Kid grabbed onto red's shoulder.

kid: why can't you understand?

red: I don't want to understand!!

I turn her around and look at her. Her tears were at the edge.

red: don't look at me... I am scared of you...

kid: scared?

red: I am afraid!!! I cannot afford to love anyone!!!Stay away!!!

kid pov:

Her tears fall and she steps away from me.She turns around with her back face me.But I could hear her sniffling. She was still crying . Trying to keep it quiet.

Why? Why are you afraid of loving me? I...like you too.

red: red...can only love blue. Blue likes kid. I...have to stay away . That's right. That's how things work.

She was talking to herself.She was confused.That hurt my heart.

I wrapped my arms around her.

kid:don't torture yourself.

red: ki..kid...no.Can...not.

kid: I like you too. Its okay to love me.

red: okay...? No.Red can't.  I can't.  I am something tainted.

kid: tainted?

red: I do not deserve to be loved. Kid will hate me when you find out the truth.

kid: the...truth?

She struggled out of my arms and took a glimpse at me.Those looks...she was hesitant. She was sad.

What are you hiding from me? red.
