Despite Kid's efforts, I was unable to fall asleep. The horrible thoughts and memories flooded into my head, messing with my head and making relaxing impossible. I gave up a while later and tiptoed slowly into my twin sister, Patty's room.
She slept soundly and peacefully. Snuggled with her giraffe that me and Kid got her as a present a year ago. She had the blanket pushed halfway off and was curled up in her normal position. I smiled and pulled the blanket back up to her shoulders and straightened it out.
I kissed my sister on the forehead and sat on the floor next to her. I laid my head on the bed and watched her sleep, determined to protect her from anything and everything. I hummed a lullaby softly, sure not to wake my sister.
Later that night, I fell asleep and my head slid off the bed and hit the ground. I woke up and groaned softly hoping no one heard. A large migraine then took over and I laid there in pain. I knew it was late, my legs had fallen asleep from me sitting on them.
I sighed and closed my eyes, drifting off to sleep. I had no bad dream, instead all was peaceful and quiet. I smiled as I heard Patty's soft snore.
"Liz...wake up" Kid said as he kneeled over me. I opened my eyes and sat up, feeling the unattended symptoms from last night flow back into my body. "Why were you in here?" he asked.
"I couldn't sleep..." I trailed off. My hand reached my forehead. He then looked at me.
"Are you okay?" he asked noticing. I looked up at him. I didn't want him to find out and worry. He had to worry about a lot lately, including me. I didn't reply and he looked concerned.
"Im fine..." I said softly. He sighed in relief. "I just had a rough night." I faked a smile, trying to hide my pain from him. He stood up and reached a hand out to me. I took it reluctantly.
He smiled then yanked me up by my arm. I whimpered and he stopped, letting me go and dropping me to the ground. He bent down. "Liz?! What's wrong?!" he said quickly.
I pushed myself up "My legs are just sore...and I have a headache..." He gasped and looked away guiltily. He then took my hand in his.
"Liz...why didn't you tell me?" He murmured.
"I didn't want you to worry..." I sighed and kept his hand in mine. His eyes got wider and I saw a flash of anger. He picked me up bridal style and walked me into my room, closing the door. He sat me down on the bed and then grabbed my shoulders.
"Liz I need to worry about you! If I don't worry...WHAT IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED TO YOU?! you keeping it to yourself could kill you!" he yelled. My lip quivered and I looked into his eyes.
"Kid...I-" Kid cut me off with his angered words.
"Liz...I can't lose you!" he pulled next into a hug "I couldn't imagine life without you" I blush and smile, wondering if making a symmetry joke would cheer him up.
"Why, because there wouldn't be symmetry?" I laugh a little. His grip loosened and he chuckled lightly. He smiled then put a hand to my cheek.
"You know perfectly well why I wouldn't want to live without you Liz" I smile.
"yeah, I do." I lean into his shoulder and sigh. I knew exactly what he meant but I didn't want to believe in his words. if I lived and he died for me, I would hate myself forever. Like when Soul was cut instead of Maka.
I stood up and stood in front of him, by brain turning circles as I figured out exactly what to say. "It is a weapons job to protect his or her meister at All costs. If he or she fails to do so, consequences could be established given the situation." I exhaled and looked at him.
Kid looked completely shocked. "But-" he started but I cut him off with my frustrated words, fueled by my ignorance and stubbornness.
"'but' nothing Kid. I will protect you. Your job is to remain safe." I tense up a little as he stands up. He looked a little less shocked. I felt his arms pull me closer and his hands tilt my chin to look at him.
"You mean everything to me. I'll protect you no matter what. I don't care what those rules say, they mean nothing." I clench my fists.
"Kid you idiot! Don't you see?! Patty and I are TWIN pistols. If you die, then who will want two weapons? that means double the work and no person in the world is going to want us! So, we'll either be separated or dumped back on the streets dammit!" I raise my fist an inch but quickly stop myself. I never want to hurt Kid. Ever, and I almost crossed the line.
"Calm down!" He pulled me out of Patty's room and into mine then closed the door. Lucky for me Patty is a heavy sleeper or she would've heard my breakdown. "Stop thinking like that...please!" he hugged me tight. "I promise, I won't leave you. "
I hug him back. "You s-swear?" I choke out. He smiles warmly.
"I swear to Death that I will be with you forever." I smile back at him, still holding him close to me. He blushes slightly. "So, does this mean we're..." He hides his blushing face. I giggle a bit.
"That we're boyfriend and girlfriend? Yes!" I give him a closed eye grin and he smiles back. His face still faintly pink. He gives me a kiss on the cheek, making me blush bright red. I looked at him, still blushing deeply. He laughed a little. "What was that for?" I asked.
"Just showing you how much I love you." He smiles.
"I love you too!" I smile and hug him close. He hugs me tighter and i lean against his chest. "You really are the best meister ever." I murmur. He blushes a little.
"And you are the best weapon. but a better girlfriend to me. I will love you forever."
