Breathes me and Maka have been planning this story since I told her the idea oh my god. At first it was just a Cinderella headcanon and then I showed her the song and I'm pretty sure I made this story just to mess with her. *SLAPPED* In this collab I did most of the writing and Maka did all of the correcting, editing and motivating.
I also do like the fem!Kid headcanons a lot and this story seemed it would have been better if Kid was a girl to be honest. If Kid was a boy I think the story would have taken a different turn.
This story has been in my docs for a seriously lon time (3 months or so) but I never get to upload it because ( I'm lazy as hell ) ALSO There is quite a lot of 'tree sap' scenes ( courtesy of Maka ) in this chapter.
Reviews are most welcomed!
Three students stood in the Death Room facing Lord Death. Two of them were the legendary Thompson Brothers, the handsome and merciless 'bad boys' from the streets of Brooklyn, turned (kind of) good through the influence of their meister: Elliot 'Liz' Thompson and Patrick 'Patty' Thompson. Both wore similar white jackets over red turtlenecks with white ties, but the older wore long jeans instead of the shorts and boots the younger one wore.
Death the Kid was a beautiful girl who stood at a good 4'11". Her jet black hair reached the small of her back where the ends curled outwards. The reaper's pale complexion and petite structure made her look more fragile and those piercing golden eyes were what stood out the most. If looks could kill, people say. Not only was the girl incredibly nice to look at, she was talented and intelligent. The perfect heir for the reaper. Almost perfect anyway. Lord Death observed the lines of Sanzu on Kid's head, noting they hadn't grown while she was away.
"I see your mission went well Kiddo!" Lord Death looked down at his daughter, who had to strain her head to look up at her father. The stoic look on her face made her father nervously sweat and he looked up at the Thompson Brothers. "Thank you boys for taking such good care of her. I know Kid can be a handful sometimes."
"I don't believe that father. I'm perfectly capable of handling myself." Kid crossed her arms to look up at her father with an angry expression, but it looked like she was angrily pouting instead. Lord Death smiled behind his mask and squished his daughters cheeks with his large hands.
"Aww~ My daughter is so cute what a cutie!"
"Father, stop this immediately!" She tried to say but the squishing of her face made it difficult. The twin pistols started to snicker at their meister. Kid lightly smacked her father's larger hands away before straightening out her bangs and tucking her hair behind her ears. Lord Death laughed as well.
"Sorry Kiddo. Is there anything else you needed?"
"Yes father." Kid nodded before extending her hand towards Patty, who looked at the extended hand for a moment and looking at Liz.
"The file Patty. Give Kid the file." Liz gestured to the file in Patty's arms. The blonde looked at the file before placing it in Kid's hand and he started giggling.
"Oh! Sowwy!" He did a peace sign with one hand and rubbed the back of his head.
Kid opened the file to show the picture of the new witch that Lord Death asked his daughter to trail. She showed her father at least nine pictures of five different people. There were absolutely no similarities between those five people; all had different facial features and bone structures. "These are very different people, Kiddo." He sounded vaguely disappointed, but Kid shook her head.
"No father. These are all the same person. The new witch is a shape shifting witch. I have narrowed down the witch's territory to somewhere in Death City. She could be dangerous-" Kid closed the file with one hand. "No… She is dangerous." Lord Death stepped away from his daughter and made a humming noise.
"Thank you for your hard work, Kiddo. You're all dismissed~ Try to catch up with your classes, alright? I know you're smart but I'd rather not hear of my own flesh and blood getting kicked out of Stein's class." Death smiled behind his mask at his daughter who simply huffed and turned on her heel to leave the Death Room.
"I understand completely father. I will not fail you." She said as she tossed her hair back. She paused. "Mr. Franken would never throw me out of his class. You must be confused." Kid let out a prim, haughty sniff.
"Bye Lord Death!" Both brothers waved and followed behind Kid who was already walking under the numerous guillotines. Lord Death waved until they exited the room and sighed before turning to the mirror and sighing again. His daughter was so cold to him nowadays… How terrible. He was starting to understand how Spirit felt.
"I probably shouldn't have had Azusa babysit her those few times."
"Uwaah! Its been 3 months since we've been to school!" Patty threw his hands in the air, excited to 'learn' again. By learning, he meant distracting himself by drawing pictures of giraffes. "I love school!" He cheered as the three of them walked down the halls. Liz grinned as he looked at his brother and to the shinigami walking in front of them.
"Yeah. We're totes lucky to get to go to school. Even if we DID skip for like 3 months just for that mission."
"Even if you both do come to school, neither of you really learn anything, do you?" Kid said absently, her hands together behind her as she looked around at the students. The halls were filled with students whispering and chatting among their own groups of friends. Sometimes glances would be thrown at the three but they didn't care much for rumors or if people talked about the triad.
"Rumours are good things. They let us know people actually take their time to think about us." Liz offered as he shoved his right hand into the pocket of his white jacket. Patty grinned and nodded his head.
"Right!"
The brothers glanced at each other before looking down at their meister. She was definitely looking for something. They both just didn't know what... Until a thought crossed Liz's mind.
"Hey, Patty." The younger brother looked at the older who was staring at the back of Kid's head. "Do you think Kid's looking for..?" Liz looked over at Patty who raised a brow at the sandy-haired boy for a while before giggling.
"Yes! I think so!"
"What are you both talking about. I'm not looking for anybody." Kid protested blandly, shoving both her hands into her pockets; her eyes never stopped trying to look for that mop of blue hair. 'Where is that idiot...' Kid thought to herself. Said question was answered when she was suddenly swept into strong arms and found herself being spun around. Kid could hear the giggling of a couple of students in the hallway and the loud laughter of the twin pistols.
Of course, she knew the only person who would be dumb enough to swing the heir of Death herself around like a toy.
Black Star.
"Hey Kiddo." He grinned as he set her down on her feet after that Disney princess moment, his hands never leaving her waist. Kid grabbed both his shoulders and looked up at him.
"I thought I told you to find someone else to bother. I told you that I would take a long time. Did you seriously-"
"Hey." He silenced her by putting a hand over her mouth. He knew she hated that, but he loved seeing her get angry because it always looked like a small kitten trying to get angry with a big man like him. "I wanted to wait. I'll always wait for ya." Black Star flashed a charming smile and the sides of Kid's lips threatened to curve upwards and smile back at him, but she bit her bottom lip instead.
"Black Star willing to be patient. That's a first." The reaper rolled her eyes before looking back up at Black Star who was still smiling down at her with that idiotic smile of his that just made her weak in the knees.
"Heheh. You're worth the wait Kid." He leaned in so his forehead was against hers, their gazes never breaking apart. At least, not until a cough interrupted them causing Black Star to turn around and Kid to lean to her left and glare at the person behind him for ruining their moment. Maka was staring at them with Soul to her left and Tsubaki on her right. Tsubaki was trying her best not to look, but she couldn't help but sneak glances at how cute they looked. Soul on the other hand smirked and high-fived his friend. That made Kid twitch a bit.
"Right. If you're done with your tree sap moment," Maka gave Kid a teasing grin who blushed before looking away. "Professor Stein wanted us to tell you that Tsubaki-chan and I will be filling you in on the lessons you missed for the past couple of months." Maka smiled. Liz and Patty made 'ooo's and 'aaa's when they heard that and Kid only nodded.
"Tsubaki-chan will be tutoring Liz and Patty." Maka sighed as both brothers swung an arm around either side of Tsubaki's shoulders and grinned at her while her face heated up. "And I'll be teaching Kid." She finished, looking in the reaper's direction. The black-haired girl simply nodded. As Tsubaki made her arrangements with the twin pistols, Maka and Kid stared at each other for a moment.
"You grew, Maka Albarn." Kid stated, using her hand to compare the top of her head to Maka's shoulder. Maka smiled.
"And you didn't grow at all Kid. That's so cute." Kid's face flared up in embarrassment and she bit the inside of her cheek.
"I just didn't have time to eat proper nutrients, that's all!" Kid huffed.
"Alright. If you say so." Maka smiled. "I guess we'll get to your 'catching up' tomorrow, since you might want to rest easy tonight." Kid nodded at the blonde.
'Maka's height has grown, and I've only been away for 3 months.' She glanced over to where Black Star and Soul were chatting. 'Black Star and Soul have grown too…' her eyes lingered on them for a moment before looking at Tsubaki. 'If their height grew… I bet their abilities will start soaring past mine in no time.'
She looked down at her small hands and looked up at her friends conversing among themselves. It was incredible how time could make someone seem so different. "Hey." The reaper snapped out of her thoughts to look at the assassin, who had placed his hand on her shoulder. "You okay, Kiddo?"
The shinigami was actually lost in his eyes for a couple of seconds (Maka could be heard muttering about tree sap in the background) before she snapped out of it and looked away, clearing her throat to talk to Black Star and have a serious conversation about how he was foolish enough to 'wait on her hand and foot'.
Well, she was about to. The reapers eyes were closed and she took a deep breath before turning to look at him and started. "Black Star all I wanted to know is why-" she opened her eyes to look up at her 'lover' and saw him waggling his eyebrows at her in a suggestive manner causing her to cover her mouth and let out a snort, making them both burst into a giggle fit.
"Black Star is really good at avoiding that conversation huh." Maka along with Tsubaki squinted at the two meisters as they slowly started to drift into their own little world. Tsubaki turned to Maka and simply smiled in reply. The female meister sighed and rubbed her temple. "Come on Tsubaki, help me get them to class." Maka grumbled good-naturedly as she walked over to Kid and dragged her away by the collar. Kid had her hands hidden in her face from all the mad giggling and Tsubaki took Black Star by the wrist and led him to their class, his grin never fading and eyebrows never stilling.
Naturally, both meisters would sit next to each other during class. Not just next to each other, they would sit so close there was barely an inch of space between them. Stein rolled into class in his chair as usual, falling without ceremony the floor.
Kid stared with wide eyes as their professor entered the class. Perhaps she was shocked because she hadn't sat in one of his classes for 3 months, or the fact one of the people she grew up admiring was now sprawled across the floor like Patty when he was coloring giraffes in the living room.
"That's not right," he muttered, cranking his screw. "Class, we'll get right to the dissection." He looked up at them and spotted a shinigami and the demon pistols that decided to join the class after 3 months of absence. Raising a brow at the three of them, he waved a scalpel at Kid. "Nice to see you decided to join the class today."
"We're so happy to be baaaack!" Patty crowed, pumping a fist in the air before Liz calmly nodded, his head rested on in his hands.
"Good to be back sir." Stein's gaze trailed to Kid, who said nothing and did nothing but stare at Black Star who was gazing back at her with that charming smile on his face Stein knew she loved so much. Everyone in the classroom's gazes followed Stein's and ended up looking away. The doctor sighed. Seems Kid was really out of it today.
"Alright, lets start." He tugged on a rope revealing today's endangered species he was going to dissect. On the word 'start', Kid looked away from Black Star and started to listen to Stein's explanation. Even if it seems he's dissecting something Stein's sneaky enough to explain about souls during that period of time. It's really up to the student if they catch it or not.
The assassin had his feet on the table and his arms behind his head, ready to doze off, but he couldn't. Not when Kid looked so incredibly cute, trying to focus on what Professor Stein was saying while simultaneously trying not to look at the squirming animal in his grasp. Black Star observed that every time Stein would stab the scalpel into the table, she and the animal would both flinch.
He took his feet off the table and sat up to look at Kid, who refused to look away in the event that she might miss important information by accident. As the heir of Lord Death, there was no time or place for mistakes!
"Kid?" She blocked him out, trying to ignore the fact the scalpel was against the animal's skin, ready to take the plunge and cut open the mammal. Kid wanted to look away, but as the heir of Lord Death she couldn't give in. She can't give in! It's just Stein dissecting another animal! It's not out of the ordinary...
Black Star raised a brow at his girlfriend. "Kid," he said with a stricter tone. There was something strange about Kid. She didn't want to watch it yet she forced herself to watch anyway. What was wrong with her?
The assassin gently took the side of Kid's face to kiss her, forcing her to look away from the dissection. Upon contact, Kid's eyes fluttered close and enjoyed the first kiss they had in months. For a reaper, she had incredibly soft lips that tasted a lot like sugar. Normal people would expect kissing Death to be lethal, but only Black Star knew the truth.
And nobody else would ever know the kiss of Death tastes so sweet.
"Ah. Young love." Stein was watching the two love birds as the blood of the animal spilt all over his desk and hands.
"M-MR. FRANKEN!" Kid shouted as she pulled away from Black Star and pushed his face away from hers to prevent him from witnessing her cherry red face. If he did see, he would never let her live it down.
"Sorry, sorry." Stein waved his scalpel up and down for the reaper to calm down. "Its just cute that's all. A very wonderful experiment indeed." Now nobody was exactly sure if Stein was talking about the animal he just dissected, or if he was just doing that to play with the two meisters.
Kid let go of Black Star's face and placed both hands onto her lap. Now that she'd finally kissed Black Star again, she-
She wanted more.
Occasionally glancing at the blue haired meister, she hoped he would understand her 'signs' that she wanted to be kissed again. Unfortunately her attempts did not work and he fell asleep during their 'Free Period'. She placed her head in her hands and looked away from Black Star. 'How idiotic. Control your urges, Kid!' She mentally scolded herself, shutting her eyes tight to suppress the growing urge.
The boys decided to have a basketball game right after class, but Maka and Kid were wearing skirts and that's not exactly 'appropriate' to play basketball with ("Soul, one word and I will Maka Chop you.") so everyone went home to change before meeting back up at the court.
"I thought I told you to wear shorts, Kid." Liz looked down at his meister, who was wearing a skirt once again. Patty laughed at the fact his meister wore a skirt to a basketball game.
"I'm wearing shorts underneath." Kid lifted her skirt so Liz could see the black shorts under Kid's delicate white skirt. "See! I can play if I wanted to." Liz blushed and immediately looked away before pushing Kid's skirt down.
"Don't do that!" Liz scolded. "There are boys here!" He looked at Soul and Black Star with clueless expressions on their faces at why Kid just lifted up her skirt for. Patty was hysterically laughing and clutching his stomach smacking the floor with a fist. "Besides I don't think you're even dressed for basketball." He looked at the expensive (symmetrically designed) one piece summer dress his meister decided to wear. It's not like she had anything less expensive in her closet anyway.
"I'll sit out then." She pointed at the bench as she clutched the book she got from the library in her hands. Liz sighed and nodded, gesturing for her to go sit there.
'I think that was her plan all along!' Soul and Maka both thought as Kid walked towards the bench and watched the game from afar. "Devious little-" Maka's eyebrow twitched as she watched Kid.
As the six of them decided to plan out their little game, Patty made it interesting with a little wager like their last game. "The losing team's captain gets the punishment. Just like last time!"
"Bring it on!" Black Star shouted back at Patty, eager to hear the punishments. Patty's eyes trailed to her meister reading over at the bench, tucking her hair behind her hair before flipping the page. "Loser has to make out with Kid."
"WHAT." Maka and Black Star both shouted. Liz laughed and followed it up.
"Loser has to make out with Kid AND it has to be in front of Kid's dad." Both captains' jaws had dropped by the time Liz finished his sentence; the twin pistols started laughing.
Kid looked up from her book to give her eyes a rest and saw Maka and Black Star both looking at her. She tilted her head to the side, causing them to tilt their heads in the same direction. "Is something wrong?"
"Oh. No, no Kid, nothing's wrong!" Maka waved her hands around and Black Star did the same thing. Kid slowly nodded muttering something about them being strange before looking back down at her book.
Minutes later their game was over in a flash since Black Star's team won.
"Congrats Maka." Liz pats Maka on the back, who had a blank expression on her face as she held the basketball. "We lost." Maka muttered and she could just feel herself spiraling into despair.
Black Star grinned and laughed. "Nyahaha! Black Star would never lose! I'm the man who would surpass god after all!" Kid made her way to the 6 people and stood around with them.
"Yes, congratulations Black Star." Tsubaki smiled at her meister, who grinned up at her.
"Now Maka's going to go make out with your girlfriend." Soul pointed his index finger at the black-haired girl standing with Liz and Patty. Black Star made a small 'oh'.
"Then I'll- I'll make out witH SOUL!"
"THAT'S NOT A SOLUTION IDIOT."
"IT IS TOO YOU AND MAKA ARE IN LOVE SO-!"
"NO WE AREN'T!" Maka and Soul shouted together.
Kid watched as Soul and Black Star argued about something. She may have missed most of the conversation to even understand what they were saying anyway.
"Maka? What's this about making out I hear?" Maka blushed and cleared her throat before she realized something.
"Kid."
"Yes Maka?"
"Do you… know what making out is."
"I'm assuming you're trying to make out something? Perhaps I can help?" Maka looked over at Black Star, her eyes as wide as plates, who stared back and shrugged.
"Boss said not to go any further than kissing her and holding her hand until she becomes a full shinigami." Maka felt like curling up in a ball and crying. She was going to harass the tiny reaper in a way. Black Star hasn't even gone that far with her. How romantic of Black Star (but totally inconvenient).
"Sorry Kid. I gotta like, kiss you." Maka rubbed the back of her neck and Kid only stared at her friend before looking at Liz and Patty.
"Pardon me... but did these two make you?" she pointed at her twin pistols before going towards them and telling them to bend to her height. Once they did, she tugged on both their ears, Liz shouting and Patty simply laughing. "You don't have to listen to these two idiots. They're full of nonsense." She pulls their ears lower so it was more convenient for her, but less convenient for the twin pistols.
"Come on boys. We're going home." Kid didn't let go of their ears and dragged them back home with Liz trying to apologize to Kid and Patty waving them goodbye, leaving Maka, Black Star, Tsubaki and Soul there.
"Bro." Soul turned to look at Black Star. "Are you serious? You haven't even touched her?" Black Star nodded and looked at Kid's form as she disappeared. Maka and Tsubaki exchanged looks and simply listened.
"Yeah. Its hard not to, since I really, really want to touch her. She's perfect." A smile made its way to Black Star's face before he sighed. "But I gotta keep control. If Boss doesn't want me to touch her until she's older, I won't." he walked over to where the basketball was since it rolled away.
"Black Star," Tsubaki started and Soul looked over at her, eyebrows raised. The blade smiled at him. "really loves Kid. Have you realized that ever since you and Black Star fought Kid when she first came to Shibusen, he hasn't dated anyone." She giggled behind her hand and smiled at her meister who raised the ball above his head to show her he retrieved it.
"He planned this all along." Maka stared at the ground. She remembered the times before Kid came to Shibusen when Black Star was actually something of a lady-killer. "He made sure Kid never saw him with dating another girl. Must have been really hard for him, since he kinda seems like the type who isn't patient."
"He isn't." Tsubaki shook her head. "Black Star tries extra hard to suppress all those emotions. Its not easy for him at all. But he makes it through."
"But… why?" Maka looked up at Tsubaki, who was taken aback by surprise because of the pained expression Maka was making. "Suppressing is exactly like torturing yourself from the inside out." The weapon only smiled at the blonde haired meister, causing her eyes to widen.
"Because its Kid. He'd do anything for her."
