"Oh? I'm sorry I didn't see you standing there." Spirit said while sitting on a big red chair arranged right next to a fireplace. The light from the fire giving the room he was in a warm and cozy feeling. He wore a pair of thick rimmed glasses; like the kind you see old professors wear. He also had on one of his best shirts and pants. In his lap was a big, heavy, and old looking book. "Please come in." Spirit smiled. There was something off about him. He was acting like one of those guys who sit by fires and narrate stories in movies.

"Spirit, who in the hell are you talking too?" Stein asked his friend as he paused in the doorway. He then looked around at what he thought was the teachers' lounge. "And what on earth did you do in here?"

"Shh! Stein you're ruining everything." Spirit hissed as he rested his finger on his lips. As quickly as he had come out of the other personality he had gone back in it. "Now where were we? Ah, yes. I have something very special to read for you today."

"Ruin what? Are you filming something? Is it for Maka?" Stein continued pestering. Sometimes he felt that Spirit was crazier than him. Spirit growled before snapping the book he had in his hands shut.

"No, I'm not filming something and this isn't for my daughter" Spirit said with anger in his voice. He didn't appreciate being interrupted. "Now if you excuse me, I have to get back to speaking with this amazing audience." Spirit continued this time in a happier tone as he pointed to nothing but air.

"Spirit your audience doesn't exist." Stein sighed as he began leaning on the doorway. Spirit looked up at him with shock on his face. Stein kept his reaction of surprise hidden behind his glasses.

"If you are going to be rude then you can leave." Spirit huffed, crossing his arms and looking away from the his friend. Stein just stood there speechless for a moment. Spirit sure was acting weird. Well, weird for Spirit that is. Stein decided that the best thing to do was to play along, stay and find out what was wrong with the death scythe.

"Fine, I apologize. May I please join your audience?" Stein said trying to play along and failing miserably. However, Spirit didn't sense the tone of awkwardness in his voice and gave the scientist a warm smile.

"Sure, you can take a seat right over there." Spirit smiled as he pointed to a couch made out of the same fabric as the chair he was sitting in. Stein gave an awkward smile as a tear of sweat trickled down his forehead. Maybe the death scythe really was crazier than him. Stein made his way towards the couch and sat down. He couldn't help but wonder how Spirit found all this furniture, let alone how he got it into the teachers' lounge. "Okay, let's begin." Spirit said as he opened the giant book back up and began reading from it.

Kid x Liz-Tissues and Tears

Summary: All Kid wanted to do was read his book. That's all he wanted to do that evening after an exhausting mission. So, how did he end up watching a chick-flick with his overly emotional partner? Oh yeah, that's right! Her sister forced him to.

"Sis!" Patty cried out as she turned over on the couch next to her sister. She was lying on her back now, groaning. Liz sat next to her sister painting the nail on her index finger a beautiful shade of red. She knew what her sister was about to say next. She knew from the minute since her little sister flopped down on the couch next to her and started sighing. "I'm so bored!" Patty cried, this time a little louder. Liz had no idea how Patty could be bored. They had just came back from a mission that involved symmetrical enemies and she was bored? Well, maybe the demon pistol's feelings were justified. She had a lot more energy to burn than Liz and she also wasn't the one convincing Kid to forget about symmetry and shoot them. Liz sighed.

"Patty, I'm going to be watching one of my movies, the ones you don't like, soon." Liz said as she closed the nail polish bottle and set it down on the coffee table in front of her. She had finished painting her nails and now all that was left to do was wait for them to dry. And what better way to spend that time watching a chick-flick! Patty sighed after hearing of her sister's plans for the evening. Those gross girly movies were so, yucky. "Maybe you could go see what Kid is doing?"

Patty perked up a little after hearing this. Maybe she could convince Kid into playing something with her. He was always locked up in his room doing important reaper things. Ha! Important. Patty knew it was just a bunch of stupid things. She knew this cause she had seen the papers before. Without him, or her sister knowing of course. It was mainly things about legends that the young demon pistol knew didn't exist.

But something among those papers had caught her eye. It was a crumpled up piece of paper that looked like someone had crumpled it up and folded it back again. After reading what was on the paper Patty realized why. You see, it was a love letter for none of than her dear sister, Lizzy.

Patty had known Kid had feelings for Liz even before discovering the letter. It wasn't like it was hard to tell. He always blushed whenever he was near her and try to make a move in his own way; every time failing miserably. And poor, Liz had no idea of her partner's intentions but it was obvious that she liked him as well. They made Patty so mad. Why couldn't they see what was right in front of them? They both clearly liked each other. So why couldn't they just kiss already?

Then an idea dawned on the weapon. An idea that made her cackle evilly besides her sister. Hearing Patty laugh like that meant nothing good was going to happen. Just bad things, very bad things. Last time she heard that laugh was right before Patty had locked her in a closet with Kid. Not wanting to have anything to do with her sister's plans Liz got up from the couch and made her way towards the rack of DVDs that were positioned by the T.V.

"If you don't mind Patty I'm gonna watch my movie now. So if you could-" Liz was caught off by her sister jumping up from the couch and racing towards the door. Before her sister fully left the room she stopped and gave a cheeky smile.

"Bye Sis! Hope you enjoy your movie time." Patty smiled as she left. She wondered where Patty was going. Was she taking her advice? Should she warn Kid? Nah, it's every man for himself when it comes to Patty and besides, this was her night to relax. She didn't need to be worrying about Kid or Patty.

Patty ran up the stairs as fast as she could. She was so excited! She finally might have a way to get her sis and Kid together. Her idea last time didn't end so well. Now because of her the hall closet door always squeaked whenever you opened it and felt as though it was going to fall off it's hinges. Well, the door part wasn't because of her. She may have locked Kid and Liz in a closet but she didn't tell them to rip the door off.

Patty passed the very same closet before she got to her door. She took no time in opening it and soon began to dig threw her closet. Carelessly throwing anything from clothes, stuffed animals, or shoes onto the floor. Where was it? She knew she had saved it and hide it in here. Ugh, sometimes she wished she was a neat freak. It certainly would be easier to find things. Eventually the blonde found what she was looking for. A crumpled up piece of paper with a love confession on it. Now she could have some fun.

She made her way to Kid's room, tucking the paper behind her back. The door to his room was open allowing anyone who passed by to see him reading on the chair in his room. She couldn't tell from where she was what he was reading but she was pretty sure it was a boring book. After a few minutes of standing there and going unnoticed by the reaper Patty called out,

"Hiya Kiddo!" Patty said loudly as she entered the room and flopped down on his bed. The whole time she kept the paper behind her back. Thankfully, Kid didn't notice the paper tucked behind his partner's back when he looked up from his book. Patty smiled and tried to stifle a giggle as he looked up at her.

"Hello Patty. Do you need something?" Kid asked setting his book down in his lap. It lay there in the exact center of his legs. He was reading a book about the joys and wonders of symmetry. Patty had no idea such a book existed.

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to watch a movie with sis." Patty asked as the young death god gave her a look of surprise. From what he had heard from the noise downstairs it sounded like the oldest Thompson was going to watch a romance movie. And disturbing Liz while she was watching one of those said movies was something you didn't want to do.

"But isn't your sister watching a romance movie right now. Besides, I'm incredibly busy right now and must go back to reading this wonderful book. Maybe a little later we could watch a-"

"No! I want to watch one now." Patty yelled as she gave Kid her best puppy-dog face. Kid only sighed at the young girl's actions.

"Patricia, you are behaving like a child." Kid sighed again, this time rubbing his temples. This made Patty only pout more until she remembered her secret weapon. The secret weapon she had tucked behind her back.

"Fine Kiddo. If you don't want to watch a movie with Lizzy then I'll just show this to her." Patty smiled as she said her last words. At the same time waving the fragile piece of paper in her hand. She had to try hard not to laugh when she saw Kid's face. His eyes were wide and his jaw was all the way on the floor.

"How did you? When did you? What?" Kid barely managed to get out. How had she found that? He had locked it up where he was sure no one would find it. Maybe among his papers wasn't the best hiding space for things. He should've known that at some point Patty was going to sneak into his room and search through his stuff. While lost in thought Kid remembered what Patty had said. What she had said about showing Liz. "You wouldn't dare."

"Oh I would." Patty responded, cackling evilly. "Come on Kiddo. Whatcha gonna do?" Patty asked as she waved the paper in front of him. Kid couldn't take it anymore. He had to get that failed love letter back.

"Patty!" Kid yelled, lounging at his weapon. Patty knew what he might do and moved out of the way. Letting him hit the wall behind her. Seeing what had happened to the reaper made her laugh. Kid though wasn't giggling. He was sighing in defeat. There really was no way to beat Patty when she got like this.

"So will you watch the movie with Liz now?" Patty asked watching him slowly get up. Kid sighed again before walking over to the weapon. Patty smiled gleefully. This was perfect! Her plan was working.

"Fine, I'll watch a movie with your sister." Kid said as he blushed at the idea of watching a romantic movie with Liz. "But only if you give the paper back." Kid said holding out his hand for the small piece of paper that started this mess. Patty then seemed to be slowly, putting the paper in his hands before shoving it up against her chest.

"Okay deal but you don't get the paper until after you've watched the movie." Patty smiled as she tucked the paper into the pocket of her shorts. Kid sighed but agreed. He didn't like how much control Patty had over the situation. Soon the duo found themselves downstairs, paused before the room where Liz was. Patty shoved Kid inside and closed the french doors of the living room leaving the two love-birds alone.

"Kid?!" Liz asked in surprised as she paused the movie she was watching and looked up at him. He was standing in the middle of the room, blushing like crazy. Was he hot or something? Or maybe he was sick?

"Hello Liz." Kid said awkwardly as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Hi Kid." Liz said as she watched her partner stand awkwardly in the middle of the room. "What are you doing?"

"Um...Liz. I was wondering if I could join you in watching that movie." Kid said while he pointed towards the T.V. She had paused right when a couple was sitting in a field and smiling at each other. Liz was surprised by Kid's answer. He wanted to watch one of her movies? A romance movie? With her? She couldn't exactly say no so Liz patted the spot next to her on the couch and smiled.

Kid gave a smile back and walked over to the couch and took a seat. When he was sitting down he couldn't help but notice the beautiful symmetry that was Liz's nails. They were expertly painted and not a chip was in sight.

"Liz, your nails! They're so beautiful." Kid exclaimed as he held up his partner's hands and brought them up to his face. It looked like he was going to kiss them but Liz knew that wasn't his intentions. The idea that Kid might be trying to kiss her hands made Liz's face turn a bright red.

"Thank you, Kid." Liz thanked as she moved her hands away from him. She quickly grabbed the remote, resting her finger on the play button. "Now let's watch the movie. Kay?"

"Okay." Kid said a little disappointed. Those nails were probably going to be the highlight of his evening. They definitely top finding that book on symmetry in his father's library. After hearing her partner's response Liz hit the play button and relaxed back into the couch.

It had been about twenty minutes since Kid sat down and started watching the movie with Liz and he was confused. Next to him sat a teary eyed Liz and a half used box of tissues. Weren't these movies for her entertainment. Weren't they supposed to bring her happiness and pleasure not tears? Liz had a pillow in between her knees and her chest. She was looking at the screen of the television crying softly into the pillow.

What was he supposed to do? She was crying. Was this the moment when he was supposed to wrap his arm around her? Could he even do something like that? It was to soon to make a move but he couldn't just leave her crying there. Slowly he pretended to yawn as he stretched out his arm. Soon his arm gently rested on her shoulders. Liz looked up at the person who the arm belonged to. She didn't expect Kid to put his arm around her like that.

She was glad he finally got the hint though. She had been sighing all night and he hadn't done a thing. Liz didn't move the arm and decided to play along. If he was going to make a move then she might as well make hers. With a blush on her face Liz slowly titled her head toward Kid and rested her head on his shoulder.

Liz's actions only caused Kid's blush to deepen. He couldn't exactly move her head off his shoulder but it was kind of awkward just leaving it there. Well, he guessed he just had to except it. He was the one who put his arm around her.

More minutes passed and they reached another sad part. His arm was still carefully placed on her shoulders. Liz began sniffling again as the woman on the screen read a letter that said her lover had been killed in action. Kid grabbed a tissue from the box that was next to him and held it out to his partner.

"Tissue?" Liz smiled and accepted it. Then after throwing it away, she snuggled closer into Kid. Soon it was towards the end of the movie and Liz had fallen asleep on Kid's shoulder. What was he supposed to do now? Pick her up and take her to her room or leave her there? Leaving her there seemed kind of harsh considering the fact that the couch they were on wasn't meant for sleeping. With that in mind Kid picked up his sleeping partner and carried her to her room bridal style.

In the hallway he passed Patty and she nudged his elbow. "So, I'm taking the date went well." Patty giggled, making Kid's blush deepen. Thank goodness Liz was asleep.

"It was not a date."

"Sure." Patty said giggling as she was walking away. "Sure."
