Striped Soul
A/N: Hey, what's up? :D I'm writing more chapters due to my lacking of a life. XD I'm starting this chapter at 3:38 AM. Still haven't gotten any sleep tonight. I tend to sleep in the afternoons when I'm sick or on the weekends. Damn you school for breaking my perfect schedule of sleeping through noon! Haha.
Any who, hope you enjoy~
Chapter 3
As the three boys walked through the corridor, it was quite awkward. That is, for everyone other than Black*Star, whom was holding Kid's hand gently but making sure he couldn't get out of the grip. That was the reason it was awkward for the pale boy, who had a brighter face than usual. All this made it very awkward for Soul, who was trailing behind the two glaring at Black*Star and his hand which was still wrapped around Kid's the whole way through.
Nothing but silence and the clacking of their shoes rang through their ears.
After what seemed like forever, but not long enough for Black*Star, the three reached the ever so familiar doors of the balcony. Black*Star burst through the doors, energetic as ever, and Kid managed to slip his hand out of the grip as the doors opened. Soul smiled for a moment noticing the relieved face Kid made, knowing Kid didn't want to hold hands with Black*Star. Feeling happier as the three walked through the doors with Black*Star just ahead yelling "Black*Star has arrived, bringing our friends with him!" Soul put his arm around Kid's shoulders while yawning, making it look like he was still tired and needed someone to lean on to not trip over something and fall while half-asleep.
Maka smiled while turning around to the doors and said "Welcome back guys, I can see you're still tired Soul. C'mon, wake up now!" Soul just smiled at her and walked past Black*Star with his arm draped around Kid's shoulders, whom was still red, then sat down next to Maka. Of course Kid sat next to Soul and Black*Star sat on the other side of Kid. Black*Star swiftly brushed Soul's hand off of Kid's shoulder once he sat.
About 10 minutes later, Soul noticed Kid hadn't joined any conversations. In fact, he hadn't said anything at all after the trio left the classroom. Soul turned his eyes to Kid and noticed Kid was breathing slowly but heavily. His face was very red and his hands were shaky as well, which made Soul very worried. Just as the sharp-toothed boy was about to say something, Black*Star cut him to the chase.
"Oh no… Kid, I knew something was wrong with you! You've been red all day and were boiling this morning." Black*star said in a worried voice. He put his hand to the very red face of Kid and looked shocked. "No way! Kid, there is something wrong with you! We need to get you to the nurse's office, NOW!" He yelled very scared while pulling Kid off of the balcony edge and dragging him to the door.
Kid tried saying something to stop him, and mumbled "I'm fine… I'll get through the day, it's not that ba-"
Kid then collapsed onto the ground.
Stunned and very worried, Black*Star went to pick Kid up, but Soul picked him up. He was shocked at how hot Kid was, and then decided to carry the now burning and passed out boy to the nurse's office. As Soul took Kid into his arms bridal-style, Black*Star yelled to the four very worried girls (Though Liz and Patty were the most worried of the four) "We'll bring Kid to the nurse's office now, it'll all be fine!" and then mumbled to himself "I hope… It better be…!" The last part was only audible to Soul though.
(Time skip :D)
At The Nurse's Office
Black*Star and Soul rushed to the office as fast as they could, Soul still carrying Kid bridal style. Black*Star got his priorities straight knowing Kid might be in danger and decided to send Soul a glare later.
The door was immediately flung open when they reached it and Soul ran to the nearest bed then put the now almost hyperventilating Kid down quickly but gently. Black*Star ran around the large office yelling "Nurse-lady? Nurse-lady? Are you here? Help! Shinigami-sama's son, there's something wrong with him!"
A few moments later a tallish lady with dark-blonde hair braided down the front of her stepped out from behind a curtain. She asked "What is wrong?"
"I-It's Death The Kid, Shinigami's son! Something is wrong with him! He's all red and hot and breathing funny!" Yelped the blue-haired boy in a panic, which was rare for him.
Soul sat next to the bed which Kid was in. He held his hand on the red-faced boy's forehead, with a very high heat pulsing out. 'Shit… there is definitely wrong with him…!' Soul thought. "His heat is getting higher, are you going to do something to help, or are you just going to stand there?" The very worried Soul yelled, not turning his eyes from poor Kid.
The lady calmly replied "Yes, I will help. Also, my name is not you. It is Medusa." (Medusa will not be an evil character in this story unless I need someone and she fits) Medusa then walked back behind the curtain. After a few moments of rummaging through bottles and boxes she came back out with a half-filled needle, cotton swabs, a pill, and some water.
"Is the boy able to swallow a pill, or do I need to inject the medicine?" She said calm as ever. Soul and Black*Star both questioned her in their minds, but decided not to get on her bad side while she was holding a sharp object.
Black*Star replied, still a bit shaky; "He's kind of almost hyperventilating. I don't think he can swallow anything."
"Very well then." Medusa said as she put down the pill and water. She then made her way over to Kid, got Soul to hold him steady due to the shaking, and injected the medicine into Kid's arm.
A few moments later, Kid had calmed down and was breathing normally, though he was still slightly red and had a higher temperature than normal.
Black*Star had gone back to the balcony to tell the girls that Kid will be fine, that it was just a fever and since he is a shinigami they don't get sick often and that's why it was higher-scale than for a human. He was regretful at first when walking there, but he knew someone had to tell the girls and that someone had to stay with Kid.
(Time skip! :D)
At The Balcony
Just as Black*Star explained what happened with Kid and was going to head back to the nurse's office, the bell rang signaling for the five of them to get to Sid-sensei's class.
"I'm going to go back to the nurse's office to look after Kid with Soul." The blue-haired boy said while hopping off the railing towards the door.
"It'll be fine. Soul's with Kid after all. If the place is too crowded around a sick person then it can be harder for them to get better too, right?" Maka said while stopping Black*Star.
"I know, but if I'm there, my presence will surely help him heal!" Black*Star said with pride in his voice. 'Plus, I'm not risking letting a weak and sick Kid near Soul…! That will be no good.' He thought to himself.
Tsubaki sighed. "Black*Star, Maka's right. Also Sid-sensei will get mad if more than one person is skipping class to look after a sick person. You know that…" She said while grabbing Black*Stars arm and bringing him to the classroom with the rest of the girls.
In The Nurse's Office
Medusa left soon after Black*Star did, leaving Kid in the care of Soul. Soul sat next to Kid, leaning over him and placing a hand on Kid's forehead every once in awhile to check his temperature. For some reason, seeing a weak Kid made Soul feel both sad yet a little happy. Sad because his friend was so weak and wasn't feeling well, yet happy because Soul knew that he's one of the very few people that have seen Kid like this.
About ten more minutes passed of silence, the only sound being the small cute mumbles that escaped Kid's sleep, when the bell rang. Kid didn't seem to wake up due to it, so Soul decided to take his temperature one last time to make sure everything was okay. 'His temperature dropped significantly. I guess that's the luck of being a shinigami after all.' Soul thought while removing his hand from Kid's forehead. Thinking it would be fine to leave Kid alone to rest now, Soul slowly stood up, his legs a tad bit weak from little use over the past few minutes.
Soul turned to leave and had just started to take his first step away when he felt a small but noticeable tug at his jacket sleeve.
Soul turned his head slightly to look over his shoulder when he saw a sleepy slightly red-faced Kid, eyes half-lidded and holding onto the bottom of Soul's jacket sleeve weakly and adorably.
"Please stay…" Kid mumbled quietly to Soul, who was hypnotized by the adorableness.
Then Soul did what any regular teenage boy would do at the sight of something so weak and cute calling out to them, while tugging on their jacket like a small child.
He snapped.
Soul quickly turned around and leaned over Kid, placing both hands on either side of Kid's head on the pillow. He then had the urge to kiss Kid, so Soul did.
He first placed a gentle peck on Kid's top lip, then another, and another until he found Kid kissing back. Soul then kept kissing the now very red Kid until the kisses were so heated he couldn't take it anymore. Soul demanded entry to Kid's lips, which Kid gave him quite quickly.
Just as Soul's tongue was in the edge of Kids lips, the door behind him slammed open.
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN!
Haha, cliff hanger~ Can you guess who it is that slammed the door?
'Cause I have a few ideas, but I think I'm going to choose the most obvious one so that I can use an idea someone gave me for the next chapter.
Any who, I finished this chapter at 9:20 PM. Fastest chapter yet! I also had a lot of fun with changing the size of the text this chapter. X3
I also always forget to add this in with each chapter even though it's pretty obvious, but;
I don't own Soul Eater; if I did it would be a yaoi XD
Thank you so much for reading up to this point in the story, I will start writing the next chapter right after I upload this one so look forward to it being up soon.
See you soon~
~Kaze~
