Confusion
Summary: "so you're a girl?" "I… I don't know! I don't know okay! Medusa just called me 'it' all my life! How am I supposed to deal with this? I just went along with it all this time because I didn't know anything else!" A story concerning Crona's gender identity and relationship with Kid.
(A/N: WHAT? I'm writing something other than HxH? It must be the day hell freezes over! Actually I just broke out in hives over the weekend for reasons unknown and binge-watched SE. And fell in love with a certain pink haired cutie! FOR THOSE WHO ARE READING BLD: chapter seven is on its way! I'm about 2/3 done.)
"Did it never occur to you that I never actually introduced myself?" Crona spats with out-of-character bitterness, "only Patty ever questioned your assumption, and you all just blew her off!"
Soul grabs for the stick in Crona's hand, "so you're a girl?"
"I… I don't know! I don't know okay! Medusa just called me 'it' all my life! How am I supposed to deal with this? I just went along with it all this time because I didn't know anything else!"
Even Maka was taken aback my Crona's tone as the outburst got louder. Everyone took a few steps away as Crona began to look for escape. That chance took the form of an open window, as they flew off on the wings from the weapon in their back.
After a few moments of silence, Kid summoned his trusty skateboard.
"I'm going after Crona," he announces, "don't follow me. This is mostly my fault, I should have been a better friend. I'm supposed to be a leader."
"Ragnerok, I did something really bad. I don't know how to deal with this!" Crona cries, sitting on the roof of the school, "why?"
"Listen Crona, you didn't do anything wrong. Those kids are in the wrong here. Heck, I'm in the wrong," he replied, "you stood up for yourself; that's what I've been pushing you to do forever!"
Crona just hunches over, burying their head in their knees, "yes, but what good will that do if they just think I'm crazy. I mean, who doesn't even know their own gender?"
Kid, hiding behind a pillar, almost began to cry, "We don't think you're crazy Crona. You're one of the only people here who actually gets me! You know what it's like to live in a state of constant anxiety, something always bothering you. Maka loves you like a sibling! You baked symmetrical chocolate cookies with exactly eight chips each last month to celebrate my birthday! This school would be incomplete, imperfect without you. And despite how asymmetrical it is… your hair is very charming."
"Kid-kun… you've been speaking out loud t-this whole t-time."
"Eh…" Kid blushes madly, "I guess I do that sometimes. But I meant everything I said Crona! It's okay, you're perfect the way you are now. You've got a long life to lead, there's no rush to figure everything out. And I promise, I'll stand by you the whole time… so long as you make more of those cookies!"
Ragnerok leans down over Crona's shoulder, "that last part was a joke, you're supposed to laugh."
"Oh…" Crona blushes, "uh... ha-ha? Sorry, I'm not good with humor."
"That's okay."
(A/N: short. sweet. my opinion on the matter. Really though, no matter how you want to portray Crona, they're still amazing!)
