When Can I See You Again?

by ladylezelia

Based on the song by Owl City. Maka stared out at the dawn sky, waiting for Kid to return. For days, she was like that; until, however, she was due to the hospital. Four years later, she still expects Kid. He's not there, and she's beginning to believe he died while in England. Until...

Maka didn't even have to open her eyes to find out Kid was beginning to sit up in the bed. Maka immediately stuck her hand out and pulled the reaper down. She felt as if she were a rejected puppy.

"Stay," she whimpered. "You can't go now."

Kid sighed, pulling on his black leather jacket he was wearing the night before. "You know for a fact I can't," he said. "I have to get to England as soon as possible."

Maka sat up, pulling up the sheets with her to avoid revealing anything... unnecessary. What she said after this was something she never intended to say, but blurted out anyway.

"Then I'll come with you."

It was that same cliché line she found in books and heard in movies that made Maka just stand up and walk away. She believed it was illogical, completely; but a part of her brain took control of her completely and made her say it. She clamped her hands over her mouth, feeling tears well in her emerald eyes.

Kid looked at her skeptically before smiling warmly. "Oh, Maka. Listen to me, okay?" Maka let out a quiet sniffle as she nodded. "It's been fun, but now I've got to go."

Maka tagged onto the Owl City tune immediately. "Life is way too short to take it slow..."

"But before I go and hit the road.."

"Tell me when," Maka looked up pleadingly. "When can I see you again?"
