This story is another Kirge. The idea all of a sudden just popped right into my head and won't leave me alone. And since this is in the M-rated section…yep, that's right. But be warned, this is my first attempt at a lemon story so go easy on me. I would also like to thank Hunty who has given me advice for lemons. Be sure to check out her Castlevania story "A family apart" in the M-rated section.

Don't worry about this story though. I have learned my mistakes from "Happy Birthday Serge." I can guarantee that this story will be a lot better.

Dante barges into the room.

Dante: Kirges again!? Can't you write anything else!?

Me: As soon as I'm done "Final Cross May Cry!"

Dante: So nothing until 2010!?

Me: It won't take that long…I think.

Dante: Go. Fuck. Yourself.

Dante leaves the room.

Me: Douche-bag. Anyway, on with the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Chrono Cross.

Chapter 1: Embarrassing Mornings

Kid sat at the end of the pier. She was up in the middle of the night. It was hard for her to sleep after figuring so much about herself after seeing those ghost children on Opassa Beach, as well as the fact that she may not make it out alive in the next battle. Kid was, even though she hated to admit it, afraid of dying on that day. But there was something that she was even more afraid of. The death of the one man she had fallen in love with, Serge. The same man that had risked his life, even though she never asked for it, every single time her life was threatened. She wanted to tell him her true feelings, but her pride wouldn't allow it almost every single time she tried.

Ever since she and Serge had that conversation on Water Dragon Isle, she had felt an attraction towards him, but kept driving it away in order to focus on killing Lynx. It was only until after she was saved from Lynx that she truly decided to let her feelings take over. She also felt extremely guilty for attacking him twice when he was in Lynx's body after she heard about it from Glenn. She just couldn't believe that she almost killed him. Her heart ached every time she thought about it. Yet she always managed to hide it flawlessly underneath her laughter and tough talk.

She sighed as she looked into the sky. That wasn't the only problem with her though. Kid had started to have dreams about him as well. And not all of these dreams were how you say, clean. She had dreamt of him holding her in his arms protectively and lovingly, then they would start to kiss, and that would lead to, well, you get the idea.

She blushed as shook her head, trying not to remember that stuff now. The only true part of those dreams were that he did hold Kid, but only if she needed comfort or if they had slept together. She got mad and embarrassed every single time she had a dream about him when they were so close together. But the anger was starting to take over her all of a sudden. And it wasn't just about the fact that she was just a clone. She wanted to know once and for all how he actually felt, and she thought that if she stayed over Serge's house she might get a chance.

Kid considered that she was lucky that Serge actually agreed and gave everyone a week to be with their loved ones or train until they were going to take down the Time Devourer. But whenever they got close, they always had to separate because Serge was apparently too busy for her.

Kid laughed at herself. She just couldn't believe that she was acting like this. Odds are that Harle would get a kick out of it. Or even Lynx for that matter. Kid remembered that she was practically ruthless when it came to fighting. She knew that she had a big mouth, but she was one of the few people who could back it up. But now, she acted like a school girl with a crush, at least in her opinion anyway.

Kid took a deep breath and sighed. She got off of the pier and walked towards Serge's house. Since Serge's mom was out somewhere, she, Glenn, Orlha, and for some odd reason Grobyc decided to stay there. She looked around to see Glenn was asleep with Orhla in his arms. Kid smirked; she knew she would get them later for that. She also saw the cyborg assassin Grobyc in the corner, staring at the ceiling. Apparently he didn't need sleep.

She walked upstairs to Serge's room. Serge had agreed to let her sleep with him whenever she was having a nightmare. Kid considered this to be an honor, but started to wonder if Serge really did mind. She opened the door and saw Serge sleeping peacefully without his bandana on. Kid preferred him without it because of his cool blue hair. She crawled into his bed and wrapped her arms around him. She smiled when he did the same thing, but he was still asleep. She buried her head in his chest and sighed. Maybe she would get a chance to say her feelings tomorrow…

--

Serge slowly opened his eyes as the sun shined through his blinds. He smiled as he saw Kid's face. He knew he had strong feelings for Kid, but he wasn't sure if she felt the same. He didn't want their friendship by doing something stupid. Serge wanted to talk about it earlier, but there were just too many distractions and the fact that he was completely nervous. He even had to make up excuses whenever Kid had even talked to him.

He felt this way for a long time. Ever since that time she was nearly killed by Lynx at Fort Dragonia, he just couldn't get her out of his mind. But his anger also got in the way of it when he started to loathe Lynx, who actually turned out to be his father. The news alone caused him to be shocked for awhile. He was hoping that this little break he's giving everyone will help them focus. He was also pretty sure that Kid needed the time as well and he could tell her how he felt instead of blushing and being shy like some grade school kid.

'Yeah Serge!' said the irritating voice in his head. 'You can defeat Lynx, a gigantic supercomputer, six dragons, and some self-proclaimed dragon god, but you can't tell a girl your true feelings!?'

Serge had to admit that the voice was 100 right. He shook his head and tried to get up, but soon found that Kid had wrapped her arms around him. Serge tried to get her arms off of him, but she wouldn't let go.

Serge put a hand to his face and sighed. "This is what I get for waking up early." Although he did enjoy Kid's company, this isn't what he had in mind. "Must've been another nightmare I guess."

He was about to go back to bed, but his door flew wide open. He glared at the intruder who just happened to be Glenn.

Serge allowed the swordsman to stay for training, but he didn't think he would take it so seriously. It still had to be about six in the morning!

Glenn wore a big smile on his face. "Morning guys! Are you ready for…?" He stopped as he saw Kid clinging onto Serge. His grin became even bigger. "Well….it looks like you got your training done, eh Serge?"

Serge glared at Glenn after he made that comment. He looked away. "It wasn't like that!"

Glenn still had his smile. "Riiiiiight. Just go downstairs and get ready for training." Glenn left and closed the door behind him.

Serge rubbed the back of his head and sighed as he looked at Kid. "And she complains about how much I sleep!"

He looked at Kid even closer. She looked so peaceful when she was asleep. He stared at her lips, actually wondering what it would be like to kiss her. He unknowingly moved closer to her face without even knowing it. But he soon stopped midway and quickly pulled his head away from her.

'What the hell am I thinking!?' he thought. 'If she caught me doing something like that to her, there's no telling what she might do!?'

Serge sighed as he kept struggling to get her off. "How the hell am I going to get her off?"

He looked around and saw his cat on the edge of his bed. An evil smile found its way onto Serge's face. The cat saw his face and started to worry. Serge snagged it as soon as it was about to run away. The cat hissed in anger and tried to escape, but Serge quickly unhooked Kid's arms using all of his strength and replaced himself with the cat. He quickly ran to the bathroom, hoping he could get ready before Kid woke up.

--

Kid woke up after a couple of minutes had passed. She yelped in pain as the cat that was in her arms scratched its way out.

"Bloody hell!" she yelled as she glared at the cat, which was running away.

Kid looked at her arms and saw that there were only minor cuts. After putting on her clothes, she walked over to the bathroom and put her hand on the doorknob. She was still too groggy to hear the running water that was in there. She turned the knob and opened the door.

A large amount of steam burst out of the bathroom. Kid put her arms over her face to prevent it from coming into contact with her. When the steam finally cleared, she was surprised to see Serge. Kid blushed when she saw him without his shirt and tried to look at the ground. It failed when she realized that he had no clothes on him!

Serge finally saw her and blushed as well. After a couple of seconds passed by, he fumbled around for the towel as Kid slammed the door. Kid slid down the door and sat on the floor.

She put a hand to her reddened face. "I can't believe that just happened! But I have to admit that he is…" Kid shook her head. "No! No! No! I can't think about that stuff! Even if he is about as bloody handsome as a god!" She mentally slapped herself after saying that. Kid just couldn't believe that she was acting like this. "I really need to get a hold of myself. Maybe Orhla can offer me some advice on this…"

She quickly got up and ran downstairs.

Kid went into the kitchen to find that Orhla was cooking. Her happiness grew when she realized that Glenn and Grobyc weren't there. Although the cyborg probably wouldn't tease her or anything, Glenn would do it in a heartbeat just for the fun of it.

Orlha turned around and smiled, already noticing Kid's blushing face. She figured something must have happened last night. "Well well, what happened last night? Did you finally tell Serge?"

Kid shook her head. "Nope, I was too busy thinking on the pier and when I got back, he was asleep."

Orhla sighed heavily. "You can't avoid this forever you know!"

"Don't ya think I know that!?" Kid snapped. "But he always says he's too busy, even to talk to me. Oi! He's really starting to get on my nerves!"

"Then why were you blushing earlier?"

"Well…uh…" Kid blushed even more. She looked down at the ground. "You see…I...uh…"

Orlha turned her attention back to cooking, but was still listening. "Just spill it!"

"I saw him in the bathroom." Orlha immediately stopped cooking and held onto the frying pan. "And he was freakin' nude!"

Orlha dropped the frying pan, the cooked eggs fell off, but that was the least of her concern. She looked at Kid with wide eyes. "You saw everything!? But then again, why should you act this weird? I'm sure you have seen many guys in the buff before."

Kid clenched her fists while shooting Orlha a deadly glare. "Are you implying something? And for the record, I've neva let any bugger come near me without pullin' out me dagger first!"

It was the truth. Anytime somebody would try to even put any moves on her, they got a one way ticket to the doctors. And for anybody who even tried to do the unthinkable to her, they'd be dead in an instant! The only reason she didn't let anybody get too close to her was only because of her desire for revenge towards Lynx. Of course she never figured that she would fall for somebody like Serge.

Orlha smiled nervously while putting her hands in front of herself. "Take it easy! I know you aren't that kind of person! But still…" A devilish smile crept its way on her face. "How was it?"

Kid's blush grew even bigger for both embarrassment and anger. "WHAT!? You little hentai! It's bad enough with you and Glenn, but…"

Orlha put a hand to her face and sighed. "That's not what I meant! I was just wondering how it made you feel seeing him like that."

"Well… it was umm… I felt…. I don't know! I was kinda hopin' you might know something to help me in this situation. What should I say to him?"

Orlha was actually stumped on this. She put her hand against her head and was in deep thought. Her head popped up and she looked at Kid seriously. "My advice…" She shrugged. "I honestly have no idea. For now, I guess you should just let him be…and make sure that he locks the door whenever he's in there."

Kid sighed heavily and proceeded to walk out of Serge's home. Talking to Orlha wasn't exactly helpful.

"Don't you at least want any breakfast?"

Kid stopped in her tracks. She smelled something burning and turned around, seeing only black smoke from behind Orlha. "No thanks. Besides, eating the food you're making may kill me!" She quickly exited the house.

Orlha raised an eyebrow, wondering what she was talking about. She turned around only to be in the sight of breakfast currently burning. "I should just stick to bartending."

Orlha sighed again as she looked around for water element.
