I will never get used about the extravagance of Kid's mansion. It's so big and full of awesomeness that makes me feel a little envy. Not that I care about money, but I could get used to live in a place where I would sleep without hearing the annoying noises of Soul's videogame every damn night.

"Ok, now that we are here I'll give you the first lesson: How to not get lost in the house!" Kid announced as it was the most normal thing to say.

"Oh man, this is going to take a long time. Good luck, you two, I'm going to take a shower." Liz sighed and left.

"I'm going to play with my giraffe!" Patty went outside the house while singing.

"But her giraffe plushie is here on the desk." I said, confused.

"She's talking about the real one, our pet, Cindy." Again, he said like it was the most common thing in the world.

Who the hell have a pet giraffe? Is it even legal? I decided not to ask.

"Ok let's start the tour." We started to walk.

First we made a course on the first floor. There were so many kitchens there I couldn't tell if it was possible to use all of them. Most other rooms were to have dinner, watch TV or to receive guests. After a long walk whe finally finished the first part of the tour.

We went to the second floor. I lost the count of how many bedrooms and bathrooms the mansion had. I didn't know if I was capable to absorve that much of information…

"Ok." I was afflicted. I needed to stop for a moment and say it. "WHY, for shinigami's sake, this house has so many rooms? How many people live here?"

He blinked and then giggled.

"What's so funny?" I protested.

"I'm sorry, but I'm so used to this house that it's funny to see every guest I introduce it ask the exactly same question." He was trying to hold the laugh.

"What would you expect? It's not everyone that lives in a place that has space for a giraffe on the garden, you know." I couldn't stop me to giggle.

"Yea, you're right." Kid laughed "But I can't tell you why this house is so big. Maybe it's just to maintain a good appeareance. It's one of my father's things." He explained and then we started to walk again.

"I see. But all those empty rooms… Don't you feel a little lonely?" I asked without thinking.

He looked at me and smiled. It was clearly fake.

"No, I'm fine with it."

"I see" I said. Liar, I thought.

The truth is, I kind of regreted about asking him such a stupid question. To be honest I felt really sad about his reaction, but it was none of my business, after all. He was my friend, of course, but we weren't that close, so I decided to stay in silent.

"Ok, this is it." Kid announced. "You can stay in the room that is right in front of mine's. It's easier to communicate this way" He opened the door for me.

"Seems reasonable to me" I observed. "Thanks" I smiled.

We entered in my temporary room and I imediatelly loved it.

" T-this bed... IT'S HUGE!" My eyes were shining. I was so excited about it that without any manners, I jumped in the mattress and rolled from one side to another. "So soft, I love it!"

Kid laughed at me.

"Oh, man. I'm sorry about my manners." I blushed.

"There's no reason to be shy" Kid said and then made something really unexpected. He jumped on the other side of the bed. "See?"

I don't know why, but his reaction made me blush more. I imediatelly got up of the bad. We stayed in silent for some seconds.

"Well, make yourself confortable." He said while leaving the room. "If you need something just call me, I'll be in my room"

"Thank you Kid." I smiled and then he left.

I finally went to the bad and sighed. For how long we were going to stay like this? I was afraid of the answer, so I decided try to blank my mind. My eyes were so heavy that, when I blinked, I couldn't find the strenght to open them anymore.

"Maka?" I heard a low voice calling me and then felt a soft touch in my shoulder, making me open my eyes. "I'm sorry to wake you up, but the dinner is ready" Kid said in a gentle voice.

"Did I sleep?" I asked in a tired voice.

"Like a rock" He giggled.

"Oh" I felt embarrassed. "Sorry, I didn't even notice".

"I understand. It was a long day after all. Come on, let's give you some energy" He smiled and helped me to get up pulling my hand gently.

Since it was already late, Patty and Liz had already eaten, so it was just Kid and me in the kitchen. That food… was brilliant! So tasty! I was ashamed of how it made my food seems to taste bland. God, it was delicious, so I ate it really quickly. "This food is awesome" I complimented.

"Thanks." Kid smiled.

"Was it Liz who cooked it?" I asked.

He blushed.

"Actually... It was me"

"Oh." I was in shock. I didn't know he had this kind of hability. "Well, it sure looks like a god's work." I smiled and licked the spoon.

He seemed to blush more than before.

"Uh… Did you finish? Let's go back" He turned his face, quickly got up and put the dishes on the kitchen.

We walked up the stairs in an uncomfortable silence.

"Did I say something wrong?" I asked, confused.

"Uh? No, of course not." Kid said. "Sorry, I'm just not used to compliments, I guess" He was looking at the opposite direction of my face.

"Okay them" I decided to let it go.

We finally arrived. He stopped in front of his room.

"So, do you want to go back sleep?" He asked and didn't receive an answer because I wasn't paying attention. Reason? I was really curious about how his room looked like. I mean, with all the OCD thing he had, it was surely a peculiar place. I tried to peek without him notice, but I failed. "Do you want to take a look?" He asked. Did this guy read my mind? Well, I couldn't resist to accept his offert.

When I entered I took a quickly look around I felt a little disappointed. It was a normal room. There was nothing there like two beds or two desks to maintain the symmetry, it was just a normal (rich) boy's room. Maybe he didn't noticed it or thought it was symmetric in some way, but to avoid an OCD attack I decided to not comment about it. At least, after some research, I found one interesting thing there: A portrait! It was Kid, probably when he was six or seven years old.

"Aw! You were sooo cute!" I smiled at the photo.

He blushed.

"Well, everbody is cute when little" He observed.

"The problem is when people grow up." I laughed. It didn't took too long for me to notice that it was a stupid thing to say in that moment, so I desperately tried to correct the phrase "No, I didn't mean you're ugly! Actually you're even cutier than when you were little!" I said without thinking.

He looked at me, surprised. Oh shit. I tried to correct myself but I made it even worse. Now it was me that was blushing (A LOT). "I-I didn´t mean that. I-I. Oh well, just forget it" I gave up explaining him because I didn't want the situation werdier than it already was. I tried not to look at him in the eyes; the situation was so embarassing that there was no way I could look at his face in that moment.

"My dad used to hug me all the time, you know" He simply said, I guess he was trying to make the atmosphere get better.

I looked at him, no longer embarrassed. "Really?" I smiled. "He's a good father, isn't him?"

"Yeah, he's the best" He smiled back. "I wish I could seem him more often. But, you know what, it was worse when I was a child. He was busy as he is now, but I was all day at home having particular classes and his was always working at Shibusen. Despite this, I knew he was the only one who cared about me. Other kids of my age couldn't play with me because their parents was scary about my nature. Butlers and maids were there for me just because there were paid to do it. Because of this I was a lonely child and used to cry a lot. I didn't understand the situation. Why he was never at home? Why the other kids didn't like me? See this teddy bear? "He pointed me the plush on a desk. I nodded. "My dad gave me when I was six. He said that I could hug him as he hugged me if I ever I felt lonely. He was precious to me, because it was my only friend. Now, of course, I undestand my father and I'm used to his absence, but…." He looked at me surprised. There were tears on my face. "Why are you crying, Maka?"

"It's so sad, Kid" Without thinking, I sundelly hugged him with all my strenght. "Don't worry, you have friends now, you can count on us. You can count on me" He hesitated at first, but after a while, he hugged me back. After some minutes in silence we separated.

"Thank you Maka." He smiled. "Please don't tell anybody about this." He asked shily.

"You don't need to say. I won't, I promise." I smiled and he smiled back.

Again, we stayed a few more moments in silence.

"Hey kid. Can I ask you a question?" I decided to break the silence.

"Of course." He was waiting for me to tell him what it was.

"Why you decided to tell me this? I mean, It's not that I don't want to know about you, actually its quite the opposite. I want it, but… You don't look like someone who like to share this kind of feeling... Am I wrong?" I asked.

"Yea, this is true. " Kid looked up toughfull. "I don't know why. I just wanted to tell you." He shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, thanks for that" I smiled and thought how good it was to now something about him. I felt we were now a little closer than before.

"I'm going to sleep, ok?" I said.

He nodded, "Good night Maka, sleep well" He smiled.

"Good night Kid" I waved my hand and then left his room.

The next morning Kid sudenlly appeared in my room and woke me screaming and shaking me. "Come on, Maka, wake up!"

"What the hell Kid?" I asked really upset.

"I woke up and my hair was a mess. I tried so many times to fix it but I just can't…. I can't fix these ponytails!" He was almost crying, pointing to one of them that were slightly lower then the other one.

I sighed.

"Just release the hair, then is gonna be symmetrical." It was pretty obvious, wasn't it?

"Oh" He looked surprised "How didn't I think about that? Thanks Maka!" Then he made what I told him to do and I rolled my eyes. He looked at his new hairstyle on the mirror and smiled.

"Cute!" He said in a low voice, probably forgeting for a moment that I was in the room, too. I slightly blushed, but there was no reason to do it. It was pretty obvious that he was just talking about the symmetry.

"Guys! Guess what?" A happy Liz suddenly appeared.

We looked at her in doubt. "I totally found a way to make you back to your bodies" she told us. We looked at her with some hope.

"Really? How?" We asked, excited.

"Kid, you just need to kiss Maka on the cheek. The opposite works too." She simply said.

"What the hell Liz? Are you kidding us right?" Kid asked as suspicious as me.

"Of course I'm not. Your dad told me, Kid." She was smiling.

"And why my dad would tell YOU something like this instead of telling ME?" He looked at her deep in the eyes, really suspicious about what she was saying.

"Because you were sleeping, duh." She rolled her eyes.

"Are you sure? I doubt that this is going to work" He observed.

"You will just know if you try it, smartass." Liz said giving him a blink.

"Whatever" He looked at me and seemed a bit embarassed. "May I, Maka?" He asked me.

"Yea, go on" I simply said.

We stared each other for one long moment. Liz was observing, probably expecting something.

"Ok, I can't." He finally said. "This is too weird"

"Why?" Liz asked.

"Why? Because it feels like I'm kissing myself!" He yelled at her.

"Then close your eyes and imagine it's Maka!" She adviced.

"THIS IS EVEN WORSE!" He suddenly blushed a lot.

"For god's sake, Kid, let me do it!" I got tired of waiting him, so I closed my eyes and did it myself. I really don't know why, but it made me blush a lot.

"So, it worked?" I asked him. When I openned my eyes, a shocked Kid was staring me with a hand in his cheeck. He was as red as a tomato and I couldn't judge him because I was equally blushing. "No, of couse not" I answered me myself. I didn't know why I was expecting something. It was one of Liz's stupid ideas, but maybe because I was too desperate I thought it worth gives it a try.

"If in the cheek didn't work, why don't you try it on the mounth?" Liz asked and blinked.

"NO WAY!" Kid and I yelled together. We looked at the opposite sides, blushing.

"Ok, that's enough. The kiss story is all fake." Liz announced as it wasn't obvious before. "I just felt that teasing you both was a good idea" She giggled evily.

We looked at her really pissed.

"What was that for, Liz?" Kid asked with anger in the eyes.

"I was just confirming something" She blinked and it was about to leave the room when she suddenly stopped to say something. "Oh man, you two are so obvious" Then she left singing.

"What the hell is she talking about?" Kid asked me still pissed about her joke.

I just wanted to forget about what happened. I didn't know why I was so embarrassed about it and I didn't want to know. We had problems enough to deal with. I didn't need to think about this, so change the subject seemed to be a good way to escape.

"I don't know. Can we visit your giraffe?"
