OMORASHI WARNING. Don't like, don't read.

Eventual KidXCrona as well. Request from my blog.

I do not own Soul Eater.

"Crona, I promise. It won't be scary." Maka urged as they walked out to meet the others, who were all waiting for them. "Try to think of it as learning. If you get scared, we'll protect you."

Crona shook his head, weakly trying to pull his hand out of Maka's grip. "I can't. There are too many people and I don't know how to deal with that."

"This will help you learn to deal with it." She insisted.

"Come on, Maka. If you're going to drag him the whole way, then we're not going to get anywhere." Soul crossed his arms over his chest. They'd all been waiting. Black*Star, Soul, Tsubaki, Liz, Patti, and Kid were all standing out and waiting. They decided to walk to the site of the mission, since it was just outside the city.

"Don't be insensitive. Everyone's got to start somewhere." Maka smiled at Crona.

Crona didn't answer, because Black*Star started talking loudly and Crona was startled into silence, simply following the rest of the group. He soon realized that he probably should've gone to the bathroom first, because who knew when they'd get back?

I should just tell Maka.

But Maka was now talking to Soul, and Soul scared Crona a little. He had red eyes and sharp teeth and Crona didn't know how to deal with that, so he didn't say anything. He could wait.

The conversation among everyone else soon turned to Crona. There was plenty of thought that he still couldn't be trusted (though that was never mentioned with him around) and the idea that he was an amazing swordsman didn't quite seem to fit, though Maka insisted otherwise. She spoke of what an amazing opponent he was, and soon Ragnarok (who was currently a sword) wouldn't stop agreeing.

Stop. People are staring. Kid is staring. Kid was actually really attractive, in Crona's mind, and he'd managed to attract the reaper's attention more than one because of his choppy, uneven hair. It was asymmetrical, so Kid would always ask if he could cut off a little piece to fix it, but Crona never let him. He didn't know how to deal with someone holding scissors near his face.

The eight of them continued walking, with Crona staying toward the back of the group. He never let himself get too far behind, but he was far enough back that no one would think to try and pull him into a conversation. Soon, they were out of the city.

"Hey, I think I'm going to take a piss. Be right back." Black*Star suddenly said, turning and darting off behind some trees.

"Honestly…" Kid mumbled under his breath, obviously at least somewhat disgusted.

"Sorry. He does that sometimes." Tsubaki informed, smiling apologetically.

Crona said nothing, but his bladder throbbed uncomfortably. I could go too. They're waiting for him anyway so I won't get left behind-

"Come on. Let's keep moving. He'll catch up." Maka replied, which urged the group to keep walking. Black*Star did run to catch up with them a few minutes later, complaining about how they hadn't waited, but no one else seemed to care, except Tsubaki, who just apologized again.
