Hey guys sozz I haven't made a long chappie but this one is longer i hope:D enjoy;) I don't own Soul eater.

Duck's POV:

I turned to hit the thing that grabbed me, when I realised it was Liz.

'Oh haha sorry Liz' I said awkwardly letting her down from my grip.

'Oh Duck, thank you so much, I was so scared' she collapsed sorta hugged me and broke down into tears.

'I I I HATE BLACKSTAR.' She continued to curse his name and to soak my top. I decided to have a look around as the smell was making me retch. The room had blood all over the walls, dead corpses scattered all over the floor and flies and bugs ran everywhere. I couldn't stand being in that room, so I threw liz onto my back and printed out of the lower floor. When I finally got up to the school after meeting many dead end, I was relieved. My back was in loads of pain and I was about to collapse. I sat Liz down, tears of anger, sadness and embarrassment streamed down her face.

'Look Liz,-'

'Duck.'

I was surprised to see Stein, Spirit and Soul behind me.

'Oh Hai' I said happily waving.

'Why were you in the basement? You know it's strictly off limits to students' Stein asked me.

'Well, Stein… can I tell you it later? Cause I really wanna see Nygus.'

'Why? Did something happen in the basement?' Stein asked concerned

Liz spoke up and decided to answer this time, 'Stein, I'll explain, just let Duck go to the nurse.'

Stein twisted the crew in his head, flicked his cigarette and replied 'Soul go with Duck to the nurses office, Liz you stay and explain.'

I hopped up, walked over to Soul, and grabbed his arm.

'Uhh, Duck what are you doing?' Soul looked at me confused

'I'll collapse if I walk without support' I mumbled 'Don't be getting you hopes up that I like you.' I growled the last part I remembered earlier that morning, I was still pissed.

'Hahaha like I'd want you to like me, you're too uncool'

'Yeah, yeah, yeah I just wanna go to the nurses office.'

I was leaning all my weight on Soul. I was just really exhausted and sore, so I plopped onto the cold stone floor.

'Duck? Are you alright?' Soul looked concerned.

'No' I lay down, stars dancing in my vision on the pale marble ceiling.

'Duck, c'mon stand up. I don't have all day. I have a life you know.'

I couldn't reply my lower back, legs and feet were tingling in a sore way. My spine felt like it had been snapped and being snapped again and again. It was past screaming in pain, I was in agony and all I could do was lie down.

A pair of rough yet warm hands lifted me, and I was put onto their back and just lay my head down. How comfy this person is and their hair's tickly hehe, their shoulder is muscular yet so greeting to put my face on. I recalled who had lifted me, I started to blush madly, and I decided to admit that I love Soul. I loved him so much. I love his cocky attitude, his slouch, the way he held me. I was being intoxicated by hi smell of mints, it was so comforting. I had never experienced love and I knew that I hadn't been loved in a long time. Why would this be different? Didn't Soul love that nerdy bookworm Maka? I felt rejection burning in my heart and felt my mind quietly buzzing, letting my eyes go blurry and tears spill out uncontrollably.

'I love you Soul' I murmured into his back.

Souls POV:

Here i was walking Duck to Nygus when he sat down. I was getting annoyed, first Stein had called me to follow him, when i was having an important talk with Mkaa, about 'something' she had to tell me, he called me then, Spirit was cussing about me and Maka again so we had a fight about his womanising and not loving Maka as a father, after was the basement now this. Duck is being inconsiderate again. She always is, she never thanks me for anything is always pissed at me and glares at Maka. The only reason i started talking and being her friend was so that she would stop being mean to Maka, but she's an awesome friend who drives me over the wall.

I turned to look at her and saw her lying on the ground with her eyes closed, her body was shaking. I lifted her onto my back, immediately feeling her small body melt into my back and her head resting lightly on my shoulder. I tried to keep good posture but it hurt, Duck wasn't the lightest so I slouched again. I felt water tricking from my shoulder down my back repeatedly. What's wrong with Duck? She must be in pain.

I walked faster towards the brown door that Nygus hides behind all day, but just as i reached out to open the door i heard a faint whisper say ' I love you Soul.'
