*Kid*
These past few days were just a blur. It wasn't the same without Maka. Kid missed her clever remarks in class. They were the only two who actually paid attention. But, without her he felt... kind of… lonely. Sure, he had Liz and Patty but, Liz was always doing her nails and, Patty was always making paper animals out of the worksheets. Without Maka, even Kid wasn't paying attention in class; just staring out the window the entire time. He guessed that it was just something about how the sky had been over these past few days; they sort of reminded him of her. The blue was like a beautiful ocean, especially at the top. But, as you kept on looking further down, the lighter the blue got. Kid finally got to the bottom and, it was the lightest of all the shades. He had never paid attention to the scenery out the window, or any of the scenery in particular. He was just too busy. Running from one thing to another. But, ever since Maka had been out, new things came to light. Kid grew tired of the empty classrooms. He missed Maka too much over the week. But, finally, she got released from the infirmary.
Kid turned the corner, heading to his next class, when, suddenly he flew back. He was being so careless lately. He heard a little noise "ow." He had run into someone! "I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going!" Kid said. "It's okay", the person said. Kid looked up to see Maka rubbing the back of her head. "Oh my gosh! Maka! You just got out of the infirmary are you okay? Do I need to take you back? I can put some ice on it?" Kid stammered. Maka chuckled. "Kid calm down. I'm fine." Maka smiled. " But, an ice pack wouldn't hurt." Kid smiled back " Got it."
*Maka*
They started picking up their books when they reached for the same one. Instinctively, they pulled back and blushed. After picking up their books, they headed back to the infirmary for an ice pack. When they got there, Maka looked around for Professor Stein or Naigus but, neither of them were there. "Well, looks like we'll have to get it on our own" Kid said. "Yeah looks like it," she said. Kid walked over to a little freezer next to Professor Stein's desk. He opened it and brought out an ice pack. Then, he went over to a cupboard under the sink and brought out a towel to wrap the ice in. "Wow. Looks like you know where everything is." Maka said. "Yeah. It's because I was in here pretty often when I was little. I got sick really easily because, I had gotten a lot of new sicknesses that I wasn't immune to. The more I grew up, the less sicknesses I got." He walked over to Maka. "Show me where it hurts." Kid said. "I can do it" Maka said. "Yeah, but you just got out of here, so you're probably still pretty sore." Kid said. "You win" Maka chuckled and pointed to the spot that hurt the most. "But, wait I thought Shinigamis couldn't get sick." "That is true. But, since I had no experiences with those flues I had no immune system built in yet, just like any other child. Except, in my case, I had the illnesses very severe, so that way if I actually was around any of them, I wouldn't be able to catch them."
"Couldn't you have died?!" Maka asked shocked. Kid paused for a moment. "Maka did you not know that Shinigami are cursed to live forever?" Maka froze. "Forever!?" she repeated. "Well, except for rare instances when their successor takes over for them, that's when they pass away." Kid said. Wasn't Kid Lord Death's successor?
" Kid aren't you-"
"Yes. I am my father's successor." Kid replied sadly. Maka sat up and walked over to Kid, and gave him a hug. "I'm so sorry Kid." Maka said, tears welling up in her eyes. Kid hugged her back. He was surprisingly warm. She wanted to stay like this forever when, Kid turned to look at her in the face. "Please don't cry." Kid said, as he wiped the tears away from her face. Maka realized that huge tears were streaming down onto Kid's jacket. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to get them on you!" Maka blushed. Kid just smiled and said "No worries". Kid was always so kind Maka thought. Kid put the ice pack on her head. She felt his gentle hands. They stared into each other's eyes for, what felt like, eternity. Then Kid started to play with her hair, twirling it around his finger. As Maka stared into his eyes, she saw the deep amber in his iris. They were somehow... comforting. Then, all of a sudden Professor Stein slammed the door open, causing both of them to jump on opposite sides of the room. "Maka? Kid? What are you two doing in here?" Professor Stein asked. "Oh nothing! I just tripped. Kid helped me get ice. But, I'm fine now!" Maka basically yelled. "Well, we should be getting back to class now." Kid said. "Yeah. See you Professor Stein." Maka said. Then she dashed out as fast as she could.
*Kid*
Kid ran into the bathroom as fast as he could. He looked into the mirror. Just as he thought, he was blushing ferociously. He needed a little time to think about what just happened. If Professor Stein hadn't came in, would they have kissed? Kid's face immediantly became redder. "Stop it Kid! Don't joke around like that!" Kid scolded himself. Like Maka would ever want to kiss me, Kid thought. Suddenly, Kid heard voices. Oh great! No one needs to see me like this! I'm a wreck! Kid thought to himself. He ran into one of the stalls. Two boys that he didn't recognize came into the bathroom. "So are you still on? For tonight I mean" one of the boys said. "Yeah I'm so on! That girl isn't gonna know what hit 'er. But what was her name again?" The other boy said. " I think that it was Maka." Kid slammed open the stall door but, whoever was there, was gone.
