I was on a trip to San Francisco and Yosemite over the summer and while I was listening to my iPod, I rediscovered Katy Perry and her AWESOME song Self Inflicted. I thought it was a PERFECT Kevin/Macy song.

I can't stop

Don't care if I lose

Baby, you are the weapon I choose

These wounds are self inflicted

I'm going down in flames for you

Baby, you are the weapon I choose

These wounds are self inflicted

One more thing I'm addicted to

Kevin wasn't normally a fan of being injured. In fact, he kind of hated it. Bruises on his knees or shins made it hard to do powerslides. Head injuries made him loopier than usual. And any soreness in his wrists or hands made concerts absolute torture. It would take something truly amazing to change that.

Macy Misa was truly amazing.

Ever since meeting her the first day of school at HMA, he had been injured numerous times. But sometime after having to come clean about her singing ability, he started…noticing things about her that made injuries caused by her not seem so bad.

He once got a concussion when he was on the receiving end of one of her tackle-hugs. And a sore back. His father advised him as they left the doctor's office to avoid Macy whenever possible. But they went to the same school and she was Stella's best friend, so he didn't think this would work all that well. Besides…Kevin wasn't sure he could avoid a girl who smelled like autumn and coffee. Even if prolonged exposure to such a girl could get him killed.

After noticing she smelled nice, Kevin tentatively started talking to her more. Looking back, he realized Macy still wasn't over her fangirling and giving her the backstage pass to their New York concert was probably not the best idea. She squeezed his pass-holding-hand hard and he felt something pop. He waved it off in front of Macy in order to not make her panic, but when he got to the school nurse, she told him to keep his index finger in a splint for a few days. Joe and Nick asked him what had possessed him to give Macy a backstage pass and he refused to answer. Then he faked that his concussion was back so they'd drop it. As his father started fussing over him, Kevin just kept thinking of Macy's autumn-and-coffee good-smellingness and the fact that her eyes and smile were very pretty when they were all lit up with excitement.

…A bruised kneecap, a twisted ankle, two more finger splints, four tackle-hugs and another concussion later...

As he sat on the bed in the exam room at the hospital, Kevin thought he might have indirectly caused this one injury. But, he reasoned with himself, Macy needed the help.

Macy was apparently teaching a self-defense class at the YMCA. And she needed an "attacker" because hers had bailed at the last minute when his sister had gone into labor. Kevin volunteered because she looked so down.

Macy was strong. She threw him over her shoulder like he weighed no more than a rag doll. She somehow knocked him to the ground and pinned his arms behind him. And then…he wasn't sure what happened next. She said it had something to do with singing…and he assumed he passed out because that's what he tended to do when Macy sang. But the next thing he knew, Macy was cradling his head in her lap and one of her hands was pressed to his forehead. She murmured his name as she patted his face. Kevin groaned; his head hurt. But Macy's hands felt nice on his face. Her fingers were kind of callused, but cool and gentle on his cheeks and forehead. He lifted his arm to hold her hand against his face, but didn't say anything.

Her voice took on a worried tone and Kevin got up to reassure her that he was okay. He got up too fast though and there were little circles that danced around his eyes and he collapsed back into Macy's lap, only coming to when he was in the exam room.

He saw Macy outside, talking to a doctor and looking back at him worriedly. He waved at her sheepishly.

He liked it when Macy worried over him and attempted to take care of him, but it seemed he was going about this in completely the wrong way. He'd have to figure something else out, because he didn't want to die in the attempt to win Macy's heart.
