Death's Kiss
Chapter 4: I Can't Be
Kid shamefully walked up the stairs to his dad's room. He hadn't told Maka about his feelings and he thought he owed it to his dad to let him know of his failure. Finally he reached the circular platform that his father always stood on.
"Ahh Kiddo welcome! So how did it go? Am I going to be a father in law" asked Lord Death anxiously?
"It didn't go… I didn't tell her" said Kid disgracefully.
"Aw Kiddo why" asked his father?
"Well, we were saying what we liked about each other and then… she complimented me on my stripes and I just lost it. I could barely say anything heck I could barely breath" said Kid looking down.
"Aww Kiddo you're in love" gushed Lord Death!
"What! N-no I'm not" said Kid stuttering.
"Awwww my little Kiddo is in love! Awww" rhapsodized Lord Death. Kid started heavily blushing and couldn't even get words out to argue.
"Awww! Kid you have to tell her" urged Lord Death!
"O-ok I will" said Kid his heart still racing. Then Kid quickly left the Death room. When he got to the door he silently closed it and slid down it onto the floor.
"Am I in love? No that's insane, I can't be. But even if I'm not in love I still need to tell Maka how I feel about her. But how? Maybe that poem idea could work. But I don't know how to write poetry… but I know someone who does" thought Kid. He quickly ran out of the building and made his way to downtown Death City.
Kid was walking up the stairs in an apartment building. He finally stopped when he got to apartment 106's door.
"This was a bad idea maybe I should go check out a book on it or something. No the best way to learn something is to learn from someone who does it a lot" thought Kid. Then he nervously knocked on the door and the sound echoed through the empty hallway. A boy in a long black dress and pink hair opened the door nervously.
"H-hey Kid d-did you n-need something" asked Crona?
"Well, can I come in" asked Kid?
"S-sure" said Crona motioning him to come in. Kid walked in and looked around. The apartment was barren with only a couch in the all white living room. Kid sat down on it and felt as if it might swallow him whole. Crona closed the door and sat down on the couch next to Kid.
"Ok well… Crona can you keep a secret" asked Kid?
"I never had to before… How do I deal with this" asked Crona nervously?
"Just don't tell anyone ok, especially not Maka" said Kid.
"U-um o-ok. What do y-you need to tell me" asked Crona?
"Well… I like Maka" said Kid blushing.
"So do I she is really nice" said Crona smiling.
"No, I like-like Maka" said Kid, the blush deepening. Then before Crona could say anything Ragnarok popped out of Crona's back.
"You like Tina tiny-tits hahaha that is hilarious" exclaimed Ragnarok a tear coming to his eye.
"Ragnarok stop it! Be nice" begged Crona.
"Ragnarok, if I give you this lollipop will you promise not to tell her" asked Kid pulling a lollipop out of his pocket?
"You got yourself a deal! But why would you go to this spaz for relation ship advice" asked Ragnarok taking the lollipop out of Kid's hand?
"I want to tell her I like her by writing a poem and Crona writes poetry all the time so I want her to teach me how" said Kid.
"Haha poetry! I am leaving I don't want to see this poetry slam" said Ragnarok going back inside Crona.
"O-ok well in p-poetry y-you just write what you feel. S-so maybe in your case you c-could write what you like a-about her" said Crona.
"Ok. But how do I make it rhyme" asked Kid?
"Y-you don't have to make it r-rhyme" said Crona.
"Thanks Crona. I know what I am going to say. Bye and remember don't tell anyone" said Kid leaving.
"I-I know" said Crona but Kid was already gone.
