Soul aimed for the laundry hamper, and missed. His T-shirt hitting the ground beside it. He laughed and picked it up himself. Slamming it into the hamper and letting out a silent yawn. Stretching his arms upward, He enjoyed the sight of his well tone body in the mirror next to his book case. A thin scar stretching from his top left shoulder, to below his right arm. He put one arm on his chest, tracing his scar for no particular reason. Shirtless, He walked out of his room into the Kitchen, where it was Maka's turn to cook breakfast. She stood at the stove. Soul walked in dazed, as if he was still in a dream.
"Hey Maka. What time is it?" Maka had to look over at him. Not knowing that he was even up yet. She smiled,seeing him speaking was all she wanted from him since yesterday.

"Well I'm glad to see your talking today Soul. Everyone was so worried about you. I'm making eggs." Soul had to grasp the concept that he was still awake. He sat at the table. Eyes feeling glazed over and forced open. Maka took and egg from the pan and set it on a plate. Maka's eyes narrowed, looking over Souls exposed torso.

"Yeah I know right." He said cockily "I'm almost as flat as you are." Maka's eye twitched a bit, but she wouldn't penalize him for it. Seeing as he just got his attitude back. Maka happily took the comment.

"I'm going to go over Kids later today," His words were a bit shaky, as if he just said a thought that he didn't intend to say. "I-I-I'm going to um... Just see whats up, that's it." Soul looked around like he was trying to avoid eye contact. Soul stopped and put his hand on his forehead, propping himself up at the table. Maka put a green plate in front of him with 2 eggs and some toast. She smiled, the went to the fridge to get him something to drink. Soul took a nearby fork and poked the eggs center, watching to gooey yolk bleed from the egg. Soul got up from the table putting his hands in his pajama pants pockets. Maka looked at the white haired boy, His door closed behind him rather quietly. Soul wasn't angry., he was thinking. Soul figured it was about time to go and see how Kid is holding up.

The manor was filled with natural light. Liz and Patti weren't at home, leaving Kid to bask ion the mornings light, checking to see if his house was in perfect order. Every painting had to be to be checked. After his inspection He stood in a enigmatically lit room, enjoying the natural light. Kids wasn't wearing his coat, as per usual when he was at home. His Formal yet casual appearance was actually something he honestly liked about himself. The regal yet dark decor of the house was all he could pay attention to, but not a single thing was out of place. Kid sat down at the long dining room table and leaned back nonchalantly in the chair, closing his eyes and dreaming. He didn't get to sleep much last night. His mind had been filled with thoughts of what he said to Soul at school yesterday. "I've risked our entire friendship." Kid was filled with feelings he couldn't explain and another feeling of certainty. The front door opened and closed loudly as the 2 blonde girls walked in side by side with shopping bags in hand.
"Good morning kid. Is something wrong?" The taller one asked. The pale boy shook his head.
"Not a thing in the world. I have a feeling everything is going to be okay. Why don't you and Patti go put your new... I'm guessing clothes away and lets all go out for ice cream."

"YAAAY" Patti cheered elated. She ran upstairs with lightning speed and Liz looked back at Kid with a smirk.
"I don't know whats going on with you be I'm not complaining. Let me go put these up." Kid Smiled and decided what he was wearing was fine, but only to go get ice cream.

"Kid I don't know whats gotten into you but your being really different today!" Patti yelled excitedly. Liz walked with them back to Gallows Manor silently, Licking at her cone. Kid closed his eyes briefly to enjoy the sounds of nature. Kid tried recklessly to turn the streets corner with his eyes closed and knocked foreheads with someone. He curled up a bit and put his hand on his brow. A little angry, he looked up with an expression that displayed that. Once both men had caught sight of one another, a faint blush over came both of them that neither could see. "Oh hey Soul!" Patti greeted eagerly. Soul gazed only drifted to her for a second before returning focus to Kid.

"Soul, what a nice surprise."
"Likewise. I was actually just going over to see you." A comment that made Kids heart pound. "I needed to talk with you." Another remark making him tense. Kid felt 2 hands on his shoulder, one Liz, the other Patti.

"We're heading home. We'll let you guys talk. Come on Patti." Kid and Soul stood there looking at each other for a while. Soul began to walk past Kid and motion his head slightly gesturing him to follow. Kid obliged with a blank expression. The scenery didn't matter anymore, All of Kids focus was on Soul.
"So how have you been?"
"Oh fine, Just fine. What about you?"
"Meh, same old same old. Nothing really going on. But I have been thinking a lot lately." A tiny feeling came over Kid. Til too small for him to know what it was. Soul smiled and looked into the laughing sun for guidance.

" I want to tell you the whole story about Lamia." Kids tiny feeling left. But he still nodded politely. Soul stopped at a nearby bench and sat down, patting the wood beside him where Kid joined him. "It was about a few weeks ago. Me and Maka were headed down to Egypt to find a Witch. Of course, we didn't find her... She found us." Soul exhaled for what seemed like the first time since he ran into Kid. "She followed us, to Death city... faked as a citizen...earned my trust...told me she was a witch... Like a dumb ass I accepted it. And then I found out what she really wanted." A reassuring hand placed itself on Souls shoulder. Kids tiny feeling came back as soul looked at him in a certain way. "I know you've felt the feeling of love before, Haven't you? Its a really good feeling." Soul leaned in toward Kid, who was wide eyed with both anticipation and fear. Souls mind and heart were racing. He wasn't sure why he was doing this but he knew that he wanted it. Kids nerves made him buck upward a bit, Briefly pushing him into the boys lips. The kiss was short and barely even a kiss. But it was felt intensely by them both men. Kids whole body was felt with a feeling he never experienced before. Souls grin stretched ear to ear, with a flushed face. The judgment of a third pair of eyes watched as Kid boldly leaned in for a second kiss. Which Soul happily obliged. Kid opened his mouth slightly letting the white hair boys tongue explore. Souls hand placed themselves on Kids shoulders, Kids hands on Souls face. The boys shared this awkward kiss for a few more seconds, Kid breaking away to look at Soul, wondering if that actually happened.
"I never kissed another man before..." Soul said, not knowing what else to say. Kid merely smiled.
"Its strange isn't it." Kid looked calm, yet inside he was completely over joyed. His fantasies now tangible.

When Soul walked into his dorm with a smile Maka's never seen, she herself was turned joyful. Blair sitting at the table wagging her tail rhythmically.
"Soul You look happy!" Blair meowed. "How was your day?"
"Just fine." He took a deep breath, exhaling in a very blissful fashion. "I'm going out tonight Maka," He said with dim rosiness. " No need to cook dinner for me."
"Hmm Going on a date?" Maka asked tauntingly.
"...yeah."

Not even the gods themselves could bring him down. Kid had a glow about him that confused even his father when he walked into Gallows Manor that afternoon.
"Sup Kiddo! You look well."
"He's had this glow about him all day sir, We have no idea whats going." Liz's concern prompted Lord Death to see if his son was okay. He approached Kid slowly.
"Son is anything going on that we need to know?" Liz and Patti stuck beside him also inquisitive.
"Nothing, I have a date tonight. I just want to relax."
"AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW Kid Has a DATE!" Patti was busting eardrums for the 3rd time. "Who is she?" kid remained silent at eh word 'she'. Shaking his head and leaning back in the dining room chair.
"Its nothing. I'll tell you later. Just leave it alone." Kids heart was filled with the wonder and love of a new relationship. Souls heart was still fragile, trying to put itself back together after being dropped from his previous spot on cloud nine. Danger with intent to break the loving heart and the healing one.
