"Everyone is coming over Soul!" Drew yelled. "Get up already, you don't want to miss Crona's welcome back party!" No response. Not this again… Soul could sleep through a train going through his room… She chuckled. I suppose I have to go get him up again!
As she walked into Soul's room, she looked around at all the posters up on his walls. Soul was snoring soundly on his back, the blanket splayed across him. Drew ripped the blanket off of him. "Aghhh!" she screamed.
Soul jolted awake to the sound of screaming. He looked around his room quickly, immediately spotting Drew trembling in the corner. "What is it?!" Soul asked. "Wh-why? Why are you sleeping n-naked?!" She yelled at him, not turning around. "Ohh… I was hot." Drew glared back at him, as he pulled the blankets over himself. "Just put something on, okay?" she muttered. "Unless you want everyone to see you naked… I think I'm already scarred for life." She quickly walked out of the room, and left Soul alone to get dressed. Was it really that bad? He asked himself.
After he was dressed he exited the room, to see that Black Star and Tsubaki had already arrived. Tsubaki was rubbing Drew's back, as she stared at the ground blankly. "It's not as bad as you think Drew, it's something you learn to live with as a partner." Tsubaki reasoned. Black Star was laughing in the corner, though he became quiet as they all noticed Soul enter the room. Just then Kid, Patty and Liz knocked on the door, Drew rushing to get it. "We're here!" Patty said excitedly. Kid looked around the room. "Now we're just missing Crona," He said. As he said that, the door opened, revealing Crona standing there half-heartedly. "Come on in Crona," Soul beckoned. Crona nervously stepped into the room, looking back and forth avoiding everyone's eyes. "Hi, Crona," Drew said, "We haven't meet yet, I'm Drew." Crona looked up, and immediately noticed the bandages wrapped around Drew's neck. "W-was that me?" He asked. Drew's hand reached up to her neck instinctively. "Don't worry about that Crona, it wasn't your fault." Crona looked like he was on the verge of tears. "I'm so sorry!" He cried, running into Drew's arms. At first she seemed a little shocked, but then hugged him back. "It's okay," She said, holding him at arms length so she could look him in the eyes. "You're with friends now."
It had been a few days since Crona had recovered. He had moved back in to Drew and Soul's apartment, but it was apparent that he was still traumatized from Maka's death. Having nightmares almost every night and sometimes breaking down into tears.
"I can't sleep with Crona in my room anymore! He's driving me nuts with all his crying!" Soul said exasperated. "It's so not cool." Drew looked back at Soul angrily, "He just needs some time to recover, he'll stop eventually." Soul sighed, sliding down into his chair, mumbling something incomprehensible. "Hey Crona do you want pancakes?" Drew called. "Yeah sure, I guess." Crona said half-heartedly, as he emerged from Soul's room. Huge bags were under his eyes, as he sat down at the table.
After they were finished with the pancakes, they got ready for school. Waiting for Crona as he dragged his feet out the door. "Don't worry Crona, you'll adjust eventually." Drew called back over her shoulder.
Sorry that there is no full chapter this time guys! Whenever I get into a rut with the story I'll try and upload a mini-chapter for you guys. This was originally going to be chapter 6, but I decided it was too short and not much happening anyway so... yeah. I'm not sure what I should write for the sixth chapter... In fact I have a few blanks for like 3 of the chapters in this Arc. So if you want me to write something in particular (i.e. Black Star trying to make croissants, lol random idea is random) then just tell me! I might take your idea on!
