Soul Eater: Crystals, Stars and Bullets

Chapter 26 - Love Triangle--NOT!

~Death the Kid's POV~

"How're you feeling?" I asked the newly awoken Princess, while handing her a glass of water.

"What a great question to ask right now." She replied sarcastically, but still taking the glass that I offered her.

"S-sorry..." I said uncomfortably. Yeah, I know. Stup*d question.

A lot was going on in my mind right now. So I didn't really care much about the whole "warm-welcome" ceremony.

Days passed like sand in an hourglass. Coming days were anticipated and passed days were forgotten. In the end, what really mattered was this moment.

This momment.

. . .

But I still have more important matters to deal with!

That last thing I told her...

Did she remember? Or did she not?

(And yes, that was the 'a lot going on in my mind' that I was so worked up about. )

Catching my attention, I watched her as she took a sip from the water. It seems as though she was worried about something...but it isn't my businness so I shouldn't look further into it.

I sighed, trying not to scan her all over like some damned pervert but fails.

Her red hair was all over the place and it seems like her eyebags weren't disappearing any moment soon. I mean, I wonder why though. She slept for 2 weeks straight. Why the hell did she have eybags?

*Ehem*

Anyway, let's think about more important matters...

Did she remember or did she not? This is freakin' Sparta.

(To be or not to be? That is the question.)

*ehem*

(Serious Kid back again)

As she looked around the clinic, I knew she was thinking hard of what to say.

The way she looks up occasionally. The small tint of pink on her cheeks because of the silence. The way she tangles all of her fingers. The way she tuck a bit of her hair behind her ear every now and then. The way she bites her lip just at the side.

It just makes you...

. . .

Wow. This is so not going well.

By the time this day ends, I'm not shocked if I'll actually admit that I have--

--shhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Damn it. =_=

"So..." I said, trying to make eye contact but can't "It's about time they arrived in France..."

I was talking about the rest of the Sion group, who were probably harvesting some souls. While I'm just here...can't even talk to Yanade because of what she may or may not have heard.

I suck.

"Yeah. I guess..." She replied back, trying to keep the conversation going...but fails.

Silence.

"Now why is the tension so uncomfortable? Did something happen when I was down?"

I could practically hear her thoughts. =_=

Oh no. This is really bad.

"Hey, Kid," She spoke up, again, tucking some strands of hair behind her ear "Um. I bet a lot of things happened when I was gone. And...err...I was just wondering..."
