Ch. 4

As Crona was holding onto kid as if he was the only life line to keep him from leaving this world, kid held him to his body as if his life depended on it. Before crona let go the sound of trees tumbling down, having crona clinging to kid even more.

"Let us go somewhere a little far from this chaos."

"but-"

"Do you trust me?" kid said his golden eyes staring into those deep dark bluish greenish colors lovingly.

"O-of course I –I do. I was just thinking what mother would mother say. Oh I don't think I could deal with mother mad at you..."

"Please don't be concern for me, right now I'm concern for you, especially such unsymmetrical mess is happening right now. I just want you to be away from such mess that could harm you. "

Crona was blushing and giggling remembering the time he and kid hung out when he was younger. Those time he remember kid trying to have mothers garden symmetrical, and had his room in order, considering there was not much. Those times were far too long.

Kid hearing crona giggled made him smiled. After that fateful day, crona was truly out of his reach, the times crona cried, he couldn't be there to hold him. Crona never truly laughed or giggled, and even then it was rare. But now with crona here giggling, it made him happy knowing he could only bring out the true crona. Kid grabbed crona's hand (gently) and leads him away from the area.

While they were walking, Crona was blushing so much; he tried to hide it from Kid. But Kid knew it and positively loved it more knowing that blush was only for him.

"It has been so long since we last saw each other hasn't it?" kid said breaking the silence.

"I-it has. …"crona said but soon stop noticing they were close to the mountains and far from the house.

"What is wrong?" kid asks, hoping crona did not took the wrong idea.

"We're a little too far from home... I've never been this far... "

Kid smiled, knowing how crona was so innocent and glad he had so much trust in him.

"Do not fear me crona. After not being able to enjoy the small moments with you, it left a void, a void I wish to fill with the presence from you, maybe more than just your presence."

Crona was blushing madly now, feeling he could faint. Taking a small step back, he tripped and waited for the impact. But he instead felt strong arms held him tight.

"Even as a small child, you were a little clumsy…" kid showed him a genuine smile.

As Kid let crona get a good balance, let go, but missed already the warmth from crona.

"May I ask you a question kid?"

"Of course anything for you my dear."

Crona tried to control his blushing but failed.

"Why did you left? Why didn't you come back? I never told mother that you came; I even waited at the same spot we first met… I thought you didn't came was because you didn't like me anymore…" crona was beginning to cry. i kept thinking the only reason you never came back was because I was a freak- EEP!"

Kid held crona to him, not giving any space but just holding crona to his chest, feeling crona's heart beating faster.

"Ever since that day I never stopped watching over you. There was never a day I stopped thinking about you. Knowing I had enemies, they would do anything to see me break. I could not allow to you crona. I-"

"Pinky where are you!"

Kid heard Ragnarok not too far from where they were. Must have beaten Black star earlier than expected, just when I was going to confess my love for him… better go to plan B' kid thought.

"Oh dear, Ragnarok must have been looking for me." Before crona could say more, kid held him close to his chest.

"I'm Afraid not Crona. You see I have for a long time waited for the perfect moment and I will not allow anyone to ruin it…" '

Hearing him say that, gave crona chills. Before crona could call out to ragnarok, kid held crona's head and smash his lips to crona. Crona had blushed a very deep red but soon felt drowsy and before he could do anything, he fell limp in kids arms.

Kid smirk as he knew the toxin he had Liz whip up would work. Though he knew it would only last for a while so he held him in bridal style. Gazing at the lovely demi god in his hands, he knew he was perfect.

"CRONAAAAAA! WHERE ARE YOU!?"

"Too bad his search will only be in vain. If he doesn't mind, I will take my soon to be bride with me to my kingdom." And at an instant, he was gone.

Slowly, crona woke up and got up only to see the dim room. The room was elegantly beautiful and so… symmetrical? He saw the whole room literally symmetrical, from the ceiling, to the floor to all the way to his bed. He looked around hoping to find the answers and found none. He slowly got up only to tumble on his own footsteps.

"I wouldn't walk too much if I were you; you might hurt yourself more..."

Crona looked around and found piercing gold eyes staring at him.

"This venom, although doesn't last that long on the dead seems to last on the living. But then again, you're the first to be given this venom."

"W-wait you said the dead, why would you kiss the dead with venom for?" Crona was awfully confused by this new information.

"Please do not believe I kiss the dead, they are not worthy for such a precious affection…." He begins to walk closer to Crona. But as crona went backwards, he fell backwards on the bed. Kid leaned over him and went near to crona's face, pushing a few strands away from his face.

"Besides," he said in a whisper as their noses touches, "you are such a beautiful and perfect in my eyes and worthy for a precious affection." And kissed crona affectionately. Almost giving in, crona pulled away, realizing one thing that made him fear for his life.

"Y-your Hades!" Crona stated.

"Yes I am," kid said getting up. "I have lived so long that I had realized this kingdom needs a Queen and I need a wife, or rather a husband."

Crona no longer feeling tired, rather fully awake.

"Please don't be frightened by this. I wanted to explain this to you in a better way, but seeing we would be interrupted, I had no other choice."

"By kidnapping me from my only family that I have left!? Why didn't you just tell me instead of taking me away?"

"Would you believe me if I told you? If I remember right you were denied by all things, even the simplest of thing such as love by others or to even go if just one day to the world by your mother who also told you about me. Even the times watching over you I saw you depress that even though your mother was there for you, she herself was not around all the time."

'When you put it that way… no. mother may have been there for me but kept me in a prison rather than a home. Even when Ragnarok or maka or the others kept an eye on him and cared for him, only did it just for their sake from being under the wrath of his mother.' Crona thought of this but still felt guilty now, not understanding the whole situation but still will not stop being mad at him for being kidnapped.

"Crona my love, I have been watching over you since the day we first met. When I first met you, you were and still are fragile. Your mother could only hide you from the world but could not truly protect you from harm. I however kept people like Medusa away from harming you. No one has ever showed care nor kindness to me, even children at young ages feared me. But you didn't. At first you did fear, but only for my safety from your mother. You showed more loving and caring than I had from anyone else. After the first times spending with you I began to take the chance and hung out with you more. The more I spend time with you, the more harder for me to leave, and I knew no one has ever made me felt that way. But after that day of you almost getting killed I knew right then what I had to do. I kept a distance knowing if they found out important you are to me, they would try to hurt you, knowing that would hurt men- no it would kill that only part that made me have something that is precious. But as you started to grow, so did my heart… and decided to wait until you were old enough for me to properly court you."

Crona felt awed and shock after hearing his confession. No one has ever said that to him. Those caring affections said by kid were new. Crona looked into kid's eyes, trying to find any trace of a lie or something.

"How do I know you're not lying to me? If you are I don't think I could ever deal with a broken heart…"

Without realizing, kid had him in his arms.

"What I say is true my beloved. All the tales I've told you were true. My declaration for you is true. If you believe I'm insane then so be it because I would only go crazy for you. If you wish, I would like you to stay with me to prove to you my love for you. If you by that time believe me, you will become my bride. If you love me by then, I will become forever more yours. My heart, mind and body will forever be yours. All I ask is your love for me." Kid said nuzzling in crona's hair.

"I-I will stay with you for to see if you are telling me the truth…"

Kids smiled a genuine smile. "That is all I ask from you my love…"
