Liz couldn't look at the figure on the bed, not after the events that led him to this point. The young reaper was pale and fragile looking.

"Come back to us Kid, I'll never say anything about your symmetry issues or anything like that. I even fixed up the room so you could rest easy and Patty's worried about you. You're dad- he wants you to be okay too." She sighed.

"Kid, you're our Meister and we need you. Don't make me show this side of myself, I hate being weak and vulnerable, you know that so just get up already." When she again received no response, she moved closer to the bed, kneeling beside it.

"I'm sorry this happened. It wasn't your job to step in front of us like that, we're the weapons and we're supposed to look after our Meister. I don't know how you have so much faith in us if all we do is let you down."

"Y-You've never let me down." The weak voice startled Liz.

"Kid, you're wake, how are you feeling?"

"Little cold." He confessed, Liz hurried to is cabinet and pulled out a second blanket which she brought back and laid it over Kid.

"Thank you." The young reaper began to close his eyes once more.

"Don't go back to sleep yet, I didn't get to say thank you for protecting us, I didn't even -"

"You don't need to say it Liz, you're showing me how thankful you are just by being here."

"Kid, are you -Do you think -"Liz suddenly felt a hand on hers.

"I'll be fine. Try not to worry about it."

"It's my fault you're here, how can you tell me that?"

"I did this,not you or Patty. I knew what I was doing, it's over now and I'm still here." Liz smiled sadly and Kid gave her hand a comforting squeeze.

"sorry to interrupt your moment but Kid needs to rest and you've been here a while so you're probably tired too." Stein said entering the room.

"But He just-"

"Liz, it's okay. You can come back and see me tomorrow,maybe we can visit a little longer."Kid said softly.

"But Kid, I just got you back and-"

"I'll be here when you get back." He promised, releasing her hand.

"I'll tell Patty you're wake, she'll be so happy. Can I bring her in with me, do you think you'll be up for it? "

"I'll be fine, and if she wants to she can come, it's alright if -"

"She'll be here, I didn't bring her today because I wasn't sure she could handle seeing you like that."

"I understand. I'll see you tomorrow then." Liz smiled.

"Yeah, we'll be here." Liz stood up and made her way through the door and out of sight.

"How are you feeling?" Stein asked moving closer to the bed.

"Not very well." The grim reaper answered.

"I figured that much. A hit like that would've killed those two instantly."

"I'm aware of that, that's why I let it hit me. Reapers can take more than humans."

"Still, taking a direct hit..even you're lucky to be alive. I'm sorry to do this to you, but your bandages need changed." Kid groaned, it was a long and painful process.

Stein pulled away the covers to reveal the crimson soaked bandages that covered Kid from his chest to his stomach.

"Ready?" Stein asked as Kid drew in a deep breath,regretting it immediately as a sharp pain traveled through his body. He cried out in pain.

"I'll let you have a minute, this is what happens when you do crazy things Kid,remember this next time you decide to -"

"It might have been crazy, but sometimes you have to...Love makes you do crazy things." Kid smiled at the thought.

"You know, I thought it was something like that."Stein said as he careful began to remove the bandages, the young reaper winced.

"By the way, your father had a message for you, he wanted me to tell you he's proud of you and if you ever scare him like that again he'll reaper chop you."

"I'm not sorry I saved them, and he can threaten me with that all he wants but I'd do it all again in a heartbeat." Stein shook his head, he had no doubt at all that Kid would give his life for his weapon partners. From the moment they showed up together at the DWMA, it was clear that there was love between them.

Kid would have a long and painful recovery but they were well worth it.
