K, I just decided to put this up again so I could space out the paragraphs so its less complicated. Yeah, and this is my first fanfic, so I hope its good!

"Um... well…uh," was all Kid could manage to say as Crona had just blurted out something even she herself didn't fully understand, even after all that thinking and mental preparation…

This is what had happened…..

**********

The group was walking, Maka, Soul, Black Star, Tsubaki, Kid, Liz, Patty, and Crona. And of course, Ragnarok, who couldn't leave even if he wanted to. They were all babbling on and on about something that didn't interest the impatient Ragnarok, so he urged Crona to leave.

"Ok Ragnarok." Crona then said to everyone, "I'm gonna go now. Bye."

Everyone said bye in unison while Crona walked off. Except for Kid, who was staring at Crona's back which was slowly getting smaller and smaller, until he could barely see her. Maka had noticed that Kid seemed out of it, but luckily didn't bother to follow Kid's gaze to see what he was so intrigued with.

"Kid-kun?" she said. "You ok?"Maka's voice had snapped Kid out of his trance, though he had been so occupied with Crona that he hadn't heard her question.

"Hmm? Oh, yes, I'm alright." He stumbled over the words, praying for an escape to this, for everyone was now staring at him strangely. Well, except for Patty, who was too occupied with the bunny that was terrified by the loud happy girl. Thankfully, he got one when the Death Scythe and Maka's perverted dad, Spirit-kun, had found them.

"Hey kids," he said, his chest swelling with pride at his sense of authority. "It's a little late for you guys to be out here alone. It'd be best for you all to go inside." He said, hoping to impress Maka.

"Whatever," Maka said, turning to her friends. "Come on, let's go."

They all left, leaving Maka's dad shocked and frozen stiff with disappointment in himself.

**********

Meanwhile, Crona was walking to her room. She stopped though when she heard footsteps behind her.

"Hey," said a familiar voice. "What are you doing out here alone?"

Crona, embarrassed, quickly said, "N-nothing! Bye." And Crona ran off before he could see her red cheeks, leaving Kid standing there confused.

**********

'Why am I running away from him?' Crona thought, panting as she felt the hot tears rushing across and stinging her cold yet deep red face.

She didn't even realize it was raining. She didn't know she was freezing. She didn't understand what she was feeling. She wasn't sure where she was going, but she just had to get away from everything to think. She finally came to a stop, too tired and cold to keep going. She needed to figure out something to do, rather than running around in the rain for no apparent reason.

She was now realizing how cold she was, and how since it was so cold, the air rushing on her as she ran stung and burnt her cold, pale skin. She stopped for a moment to collect her thoughts.

Finally, she decided to go to Tsubaki. Even though Crona didn't know Tsubaki well, she knew that she was a kind person who would help Crona calm down and comfort her without asking Crona too many questions.

She started to take a step, but stopped because she wasn't sure what to say when she got there. She clenched her clothes tightly around her, now terribly cold, and started to walk. She would think of it on the way.

**********

Crona stood outside Tsubaki's door. She hadn't come up with anything to say on the walk here, and she couldn't think of anything now. She gulped, and reached to up to knock, but lowered her hand slightly as she couldn't grasp the confidence she desired. Then, as Crona was thinking about turning around and going to her room, the door opened.

"Eeeh!" Crona cried, startled.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," it was Tsubaki who had answered the door. "I heard some noise outside and didn't know who it was. Tsubaki then took a full look at Crona. She was a mess. "Oh!" she exclaimed, worried. "You're soaking wet! And you're shivering. Come inside, quick."

Crona was instantly warmed as she stepped in, both by Tsubaki's concern and the heat that seemed to be coming from every corner of the room. It also smelled good. Like, cinnamon, maybe?

"Oh um, thank you," Crona said as Tsubaki placed of plate a treats that seemed like they had just been baked on the table Crona was sitting at.

The smell hit Crona, and she only now realized how hungry she was. She slowly put the pastry in her mouth, and noticed Tsubaki staring at her. What was that on her face? Kindness or maybe, acceptance?

"Oh, um, I just wanted to…" Crona said, stumbling over the words. Crona didn't realize she was crying until Tsubaki came around the table and hugged her.

"I see," said Tsubaki, when she released Crona. "Well… let's talk."

**********

"Tsubaki…" Crona said through her tears.

"Let's take a walk, shall we?" Tsubaki asked.

"Oh, um…" Before Crona could answer Tsubaki had already gotten up and had stepped outside.

"You coming?" Tsubaki asked, but not in a harsh way.

"Uh, y-yes," replied Crona, swallowing again and walking towards the door to join Tsubaki.

**********

Crona was nervous. Tsubaki hadn't said anything as they were walking. Crona was starting to think that she might be annoying Tsubaki with her silence.

Then, to Crona's surprise, Tsubaki said, "Whenever you're ready."

Crona wanted to hug her again. Tsubaki cared, and was patiently waiting for Crona to pour her heart out. If she wanted to, Tsubaki was giving her a choice.

"Tsubaki," Crona started. "Though I have gotten better at staying calm here, I'm still not used to it yet."

"I see," replied Tsubaki. "Well, what aren't you used to yet?"

The question wasn't too demanding, Crona could tell that Tsubaki wasn't asking because she wanted to know herself, but to help Crona.

"W-well," Crona didn't know what to say, and took a long pause before speaking again. But Tsubaki didn't seem the least bit bothered by this.

"I don't know how to deal with a lot of stuff yet," Crona started, then realized she hadn't fully answered Tsubaki's question. "Oh, um, what I mean is-" Crona started, but Tsubaki interrupted.

"You know," she said sweetly. "If you don't know how to deal with something, well, all you have to do is, well… You just have to do what feels right at the time. Just let your feelings flow naturally."

Crona, following Tsubaki's advice, hugged Tsubaki.

"Thanks Tsubaki," Crona said, now filled with confidence. 'I know what I have to do now.' She said goodbye to Tsubaki, clenched her fists, and started walking, not knowing what she was gonna do, but was gonna do what felt right.

**********

'Stupid!' thought Crona. 'You chickened out already?'

Crona wasn't sure where the confidence she had earlier after talking with Tsubaki went, because now she was back in her room. She was in her corner, hugging her knees. She had gone all over school and walked and walked and walked, though she didn't know what she was gonna do. After all that trying to do what felt right at the time, Crona just ended up walking around and around the whole school, only to end up back in her room, sulking in the corner like a child who didn't get what they wanted.

Suddenly, Ragnarok came out and said, "Crona! I want to do something today! I was so bored just walking around like that, waiting for something to happen!"

He hit Crona hard on her heard.

"Ow!" Crona shouted, covering her head trying to protect herself, but to no use. Ragnarok just kept hitting her and hitting her until Crona finally said they could go somewhere.

"Good! I'm so freakin' BORED!" Ragnarok shouted, anxious to leave the dark room. "Let's just go see your dumb friends, I like messing with that Maka." Ragnarok replied, with a hint of mischief in his voice, as Crona rubbed her sore head.

**********

Crona was at Maka's place. Blair was walking around chasing Soul, and Maka was trying to stay calm so she wouldn't beat Soul up in front of Crona.

Ragnarok suddenly came out of Crona and looked around, and spotted Blair.

"Woo!" he shouted, then turned to Maka. "Hey Maka, why don't you have breasts like that?"

"Maka chop!"

"Ow!!" Crona cried. Ragnarok had gone inside just as Maka had struck.

"Oh I'm sorry Crona!" Maka said. "I'll get you an ice pack!"

That had brought tears to Crona's eyes. Her head was already hurting from Ragnarok's beating. She rubbed over the lump that was forming on the top of her head.

Maka came rushing in. As she pressed the ice pack on Crona's head it made the bump sting. Crona cringed.

As Maka was saying sorry, Crona glanced at the window and saw how dark it was outside. They said goodbye to each other, and Crona left.

Crona was walking. She was calmer now that she had been with her friends.

But then she stopped. Someone was standing in front of her, no, coming towards her. It was too dark, so she couldn't see who it was.

They were saying something, but she couldn't hear what because of the loud pounding in her head. The image got closer and closer….

She almost gasped, for a reason she didn't understand. Her stomach churned. Her heart sank.

It was Kid.

**********

Crona froze. Crona didn't know what to do. She didn't know how to deal with it! She then remembered what Tsubaki said. She stepped forward, ready to say whatever would slip out of her mouth. She opened her mouth to start…

"Kid-" she started, but was interrupted quickly by a panic-stricken voice. "Crona! Watch out!" Kid shouted.

"Huh?" Crona looked up. Something was flying to her face. "Eeeh!" "Crona!!" was the last thing she heard. Then it went dark.

**********

Crona opened her eyes slowly. Her vision was fuzzy, so she blinked a couple times. As soon as her vision cleared a bit, she found out she was in the infirmary. She also identified the hunched sleeping figure on the chair by her bed.

She had to cover her mouth to keep her from gasping. The figure stirred. She quickly pulled the covers over her mouth, shut her eyes, and tried her best to look like she was sleeping, hoping, no, praying that he would buy it and leave. Kid's eyes were fluttering open. He glanced at Crona. Crona could just feel him staring at him.

She opened her eyes just a little bit, and stared back at Kid. She wondered if he knew she was awake. After what seemed like eternity, Kid finally got up and left the room.

She let out a sigh of relief. She heard some talking, which she recognized as Kid's and the school nurse. She wasn't paying attention to what they were saying. What she was doing was trying to figure out why she was in the infirmary.

She remembered something had been falling towards her face. She wasn't sure what it was. All she remembered was that something hit her head and then it felt like her head was on fire, but only for a few seconds. Then it got fuzzy, her head was pounding, and she heard someone call her name, and then it went black.

She swallowed. That someone had been Kid. Had he escorted her here? Him carrying her all the way here in his arms in the rain…

'Eeeh! No! I don't want to think that!' Why Crona didn't want to think that was unknown and strange to her.

But her face was already burning up. She tried to shove the thought away, but failed as her cheeks didn't get any less redder.

'But, had Kid waited here by my side this whole time?'

"Oh you're awake," said a voice, which startled Crona.

She looked up. She couldn't help it, she gasped, which caused her to quickly sit upright, making her bump her head, which had already suffered enough abuse today, on the hard metal part of the bed.

Her hands went up to touch her head which was now searing with pain but immediately regretted it because touching the big lump on her head stung her scalp terribly, making her eyes watery.

Kid went up to Crona, kneeling on the floor to be level with Crona to reassure her.

They both gasped, causing Kid to blush, who only now realized how close he put his face to hers.

Their faces where just inches away! Crona's heart was beating fast, but, she wanted him to stay close to her like that.

Immediately upon thinking that, she squealed.

This startled Kid, only to cause him to topple on top of her.

"EEEEEEEH!" screamed the poor, innocent Crona.
