Chrona felt like she couldn't take it anymore. She felt as though the darkness was closing in and she could feel the cold.
'Ragnarock?' she called quietly in her mind but he was either asleep or ignoring her because he didn't answer. Chrona was all alone and no one was coming to save her from the darkness in her room. Not even the light from the little window above her bed in the room Shinigami-sama gave her would pierce the darkness she could feel creeping in on her.
Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.
She knew who that was. He had been coming to her room for some time now. Chrona didn't know why but she liked talking to him. She knew he understood how she felt when she didn't know how to deal with something and he knew what to do to help her. He explained very quietly how or what this thing was and what to do in that situation then gave her a series of choices as to what she could do. Chrona loved when he did that and she knew that she loved him.
"C-Come in, Sh-Shinigami-kun," Chrona whispered.
Very slowly, Kid opened the door and looked to her bed first then he looked to Mr. Corner. Seeing Chrona in the corner, he knelt in front of her and asked what was wrong.
"Th-the dark. I-I feel i-it," she whimpered and squeezed her pillow tighter without looking at him.
Kid hummed and once again looked at her bed. Then back at Chrona. Then back at her bed. Then back at Chrona. Kid then moved next to Chrona so he was sitting cross-legged next to her in Mr. Corner and did something that Chrona would have never guessed that Kid would do.
Kid picked up Chrona and placed her in him lap so that she was seated in the hole that his crossed legs had made and wrapped his arms her chest and arms so that she was almost locked in and buried his nose in she asymmetrical hair.
"K-Kid-kun!" Chrona was shocked! Kid had never done this before! She had no idea why he was doing this and she wasn't sure if she could handle this.
"Be my pillow?" kid asked in a voice so low Chrona wasn't sure if she had heard in right.
"Wh-what? B-be your p-pillow?"
"Yes. I don't have anything to hug and I want a hug. So will you be my pillow?" kid hoped to Death she said yes.
Chrona thought about it for a moment. She felt his strong arms around her. Chrona thought that Kid smelled like cinnamon and peppermint, which in her mind was a very symmetrical combination of smells, and it smelled good to. Chrona felt safe in a way that was so complete that she felt half drunk and half asleep at the same time. So Chrona did the most logical thing that she could think of at the time in her half-drunk-of-off-the-shinigami's-smell-and-feel state.
She snuggled in as close to Kid as possible and whispered, "Kay" and went to sleep.
Kid smiled as he heard she breathing slow and her body relaxes into his. When they woke up, Kid would confess his love to her as he had originally planned and see if he could get a good morning kiss as well. But for now, he breathed in deeply and went to sleep, joining his love in dreams and they slept.
Neither noticed that as they slept on, the room gradually got lighter as night turned to day and dark turned to light. All they noticed is that when they slept they felt safe and when they woke, in her half asleep state, Chrona found the courage to finally give her honey-eyed love a good morning kiss and accept one in return.
All was once again well in the world and Chrona knew that she could definitely handle this.
