Chapter 8! (Perfect symmetry! QuQ -Kid)
Oh, and I finally gave in. Rated M, not T.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Kid's POV

"What is it Kid Kun?"

I looked up into Maka's green eyes, capturing them wih my golden.

"Maka," I started, looking at my hands. "We've known each other for a long time, no?"

Maka smiled down at me. "Well, saying that we've been dating for about two years, I'd have to say so."

I gave her a small smile before clearing my throat.

"True, and you know I love you, right?"

"Of course I do, silly," she said, touching her finger to my nose. "But I don't get this one thing..."

"What is it?" I asked, hoping that we wouldn't get to far away from this subject.

"If you love me so much... why would you try to kill yourself?"

I felt myself go pale. I grabbed onto Maka's hand (or, I tried to. I just laid my hand on top of hers) and looked into her eyes again.

"Maka, I love you. I always have, and I always will. I was just messed up. With all the rumors and sayings going around, everything just got into my head. Driving me insane. I was afraid of what people would think of me, of us. I know what I tried to do was wrong, I completely understand it. And I'll never try to do it again. I promise. But only if you promise me one thing."

"What is it, Kid?" She asked. I could see tears in her eyes.

I let go of her hand and started to slowly climb out of bed.

"Kid, wait. Aren't you supposed to-"

I silenced her with a raise of my hand.

I finally got out of bed and walked (slowly) towards her. I stopped once I was in front of her.

"Maka." I knelled down on one knee in front of her, pulling a box out from behind my back. I popped it open in front of her, revealing a ring.

"Maka Albarn, will you promise to be my wife?"
