The next day arrived as the shinigami rushed out of bed to get dressed. He fixed breakfast then left after eating a meal alone, leaving Liz and Patty the rest. The shinigami discontinued his daily mansion check just to see the pink haired girl right away. He summoned Beezlebub, dashing towards Maka and Soul's apartment. He arrived there, checking his attire before he knocked on the door.

"1...2...3...," he counted down nervously trying to knock on the door. The door then swung open when Soul almost bumped into the shinigami.

"How long have you been standing there?" the scythe asked, seeing that the shinigami had a distraught look on his face.

"I just got here." the shinigami said stepping back from the door.

"If you're looking for Maka and Chrona, they already went ahead." Soul said locking the door behind him.

"If you want I can give you a-" Soul turned around and saw that Kid disappeared. Speeding towards the school, he jumped off of Beezlebub after he appeared at the main entrance. After walking through the hallways, he stopped in front of the classroom when he spotted Maka reading at her desk. Kid approached the other meister.

"Hey Kid!" Maka greeted when Kid stood in front of her.

"How is Chrona doing?" Kid asked, hoping he didn't sound suspicious.

"She feels much better now. If you want to see her, she's in the library." Maka said making the shinigami happy. Kid thanked her, heading towards the library. He grew a huge concern for Chrona when he remembered what happened previously in the library. He rushed into the library, busting through the door which startled her.

"K-Kid-kun?" Chrona said, still surprised from Kid's entrance. There was a sudden pause that over came the shinigami when he noticed both doors didn't open simultaneously. He fell to the floor, banging on its hard surface as he mumbled his failure. A soft chuckle was heard across the room that caught the shinigami's attention.

"C-Chrona, are you laughing?" Kid questioned, from her abnormal reaction as she laughed not only because it was funny, but because it was cute. She stopped laughing when she finally spoke to the shinigami.

"It's just...I saw nothing wrong with your grand entrance." She said after wiping a tear from her eye. Kid laughed approaching her as she laughed along with him. He took a seat beside her, seeing that she had the book she was trying to get yesterday. She nervously fidgeted in her seat when the shinigami sat beside her.

"So what is it that you're trying reading?" Kid asked, gazing at the open book.

"The day I was in here, I wanted to look for book based on romance, but I stumbled when I saw you." She said sliding the book over to the shinigami.

"To tell you the truth, I actually came in here for the same reason yesterday." He said making her feel a little at ease but uncomfortable. As the shinigami looked through the book, she inhaled before she talked.

"I've...been having these strange feelings." Chrona said having caught the shinigami's attention.

"My heart speeds up, I feel weak on the inside and it's like something is fluttering inside of me." she said, unsure of how to feel at the moment.

"Have you been having those feelings too? Is that why you were searching for this book?" He asked, knowing he was felt the same way.

"I see, you too have those same symptoms." She said, confusing the shinigami with the word symptoms.

"Symptoms?" The shinigami questioned since she appears to know more about the situation.

"The symptoms of love." She said startling the shinigami as his heart began to race again. He hoped that his heart beat wasn't too loud to hear when she began to hold her own chest.

"I don't know how to deal with this." she said trying not to have an emotional breakdown. Kid felt like he could help and increase their bond. Before Chrona began to panic, the shinigami placed his hand on her shoulder as an encouragement and spoke.

"We can get through this together." Kid smiled along with Chrona's acceptance. As they walked to class, the pink haired girl grasped Kid's arm, making the shinigami feel more comfortable being around her.
