Normal POW:

As soon as Crona reached his climax, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of what he just did. With him still on top of Nanami, he slowly looks down on her and she quickly looks away with embarrasment. He didn't know what to say with what just happened. He was known as being the 'quiet innocent kid', but Nanami took that away from him.

Crona reached for his clothes that were nearby and pulled them close to him so he could cover himself and stand up. Nanami pulled one of his bed sheets over herself to cover her bare body.

They both quickly put their clothes on in silence.

"I think i'm going back to my cell", Nanami says without looking at Crona.

Crona felt like weight had been lifted off his chest. What he wanted now was to be alone and process what had just happened.

"Ok I'll see you", he says under his breath. Nanami leaves and he lays down and stares at the ceiling. What just happened?, he thinks to himself.

As his mind was overflowing with thoughts, he felt a pain in his back. He stands up and walks to a mirror to take a look at it. As he pulled up his clothes enough to see his back, he saw deep scratchmarks with blood smeared over. Just the sight of it made his skin crawl. Why didn't he feel the pain earlier?

He grabs his pillow and goes to the corner. As he burries his head into it, he squeezes it as he kept re-thinking of the situation. What would Maka think?, he thought to himself. He layed on the floor hugging his pillow and eventually gave into sleep.

-The next day-

Crona wakes up and notices that he fell asleep on the floor. He slowly stands up to stretch and lets out a loud yawn. He turns his head to the clock in his cell and gasps at the sight of the time. "I'm g-going to be late! I don't know how i'm suppose to deal with t-this!", he studders.

He takes the quickest shower and gets himself ready and leaves his cell. He knew that if he was late, he would be in trouble. He was already late on the first day of school, and when Ms. Marie called him out for being late, he couldn't help but feel nervous when the whole class watched him. He ran up the stairs and began his search for his classroom.

"402b...402b", he mutters as he looks around. He then recognized where he was and began running. I'm almost there. If I run I'll make it. With him not being focused where he was going, he bumps into someone and falls to the floor. He rubs his head in pain and looks to see Nanami on the floor rubbing her head too.

"Crona?", Nanami says as she stands up and gives him a quick look of concern.

Crona awkwardly stands up and tries to give her a casual smile. "H-hi Nanami", he stands in his usual pose with his hand on his arm, "sorry about bumping into you."

"It's ok. We should get going to class", Nanami says as she picks up her stuff she dropped when Crona bumped into her. Crona nods his head in agreement and they make their way to class side by side, but quiet. I shouldn't have done that with Crona, i'm such an idiot! Who am I to do that to a sweet guy like him. I took advantage of him and I feel so dumb, Nanami ponders to herself. Crona was no different, his head was overfilling with thoughts and wonders if he regretted last night.

Silence filled the hallway and both wouldn't budge. They still felt embarrased about last night and couldn't find any words to say.

Once they reach the classroom, Crona slowly puts his hand on the doorknob and opens the door. Once the door was open, Crona and Nanami walk in and notice they were alone, there was no one in class.

Nanami walks around the class and then heads to the teachers desk. From observing the class, it look as if no one has even arrived yet. "Where the hell is everyone?"

"Oh no what's going on?", Crona's eyes trace the whole classroom and he begins to fiddle with his fingers nevously, "how am I suppose to deal with something like this?"

Nanami walks to the door and lets out a relieving sigh. "No wonder", she looks at Crona and slightly smiles, "class is canceled today."

"Again?", Crona says in a flat tone. As he begins to walk out the classroom, Nanami calls out his name.

"Crona?" Crona turns his attention to her and sees her lean on the teachers desk.

"Yes what is it?", he says with a shaky voice. He still felt too awkward to be having a normal conversation with her and couldn't bring himself to maintain the bond with her when they first met.

"I'm sorry", Nanami glares at him for a second but quickly looks away, "I know what happened last night must be something new to you and you must be questioning it. It's a normal part of life...but I am no one to have taken that away from you", she walks to him and cups his cheek, "you're a good kid Crona...and ...and I took that away from you..." With Nanami's hand still cupping his cheek, she slightly caresses it. "I understand if you don't want to talk to me anymore."

Crona stands in confusion and gives her a blank stare. He didn't know what to think of last night, but he knew that if Maka knew she would be mad. He has to think what's best for him. "I think we shouldn't be friends anymore.."

Nanami's hand quickly went away from his cheek and she takes a step back. She expected Crona to say anything but that. She thought he would forgive her. She tears up but bites her lip hard to stop herself. "O-ok I understand", she manages to croak. She turns her back to him and walks off slowly.

It's for the best, Crona thinks while she walks away. He didn't want to stop being her friend, but he needed to start thinking of what's best for himself. He had to. He promised Maka.

Flashback:

"Crona can I talk to you for a second?" Maka motions Crona to come to her and she smiles as she gets herself comfortable. "What is it Maka? Is something wrong?" Crona sits down next to her on the balcony of the DWMA and looks in awe of the view.

"You remember when you risked your life for me back when we were in battle with Medusa? I can't ever be thankful enough. You saved my life. And while it is good to think of others", Maka pauses and puts a hand to Crona's shoulder, "you need to put yourself first too."

"Isn't that being selfish?", Crona asks with surprise.

"There's a certain extent to where you could put yourself first. But when you feel a situation where you should think of yourself, go with your feeling. You always put other people before yourself and that's not always the right way to go. You need to give yourself more credit than that." Crona nods his head in agreement and slightly smiles.

"You promise?", Maka says as she extends her pinky out for Crona to make the promise.

"I promise."

Crona waits for Nanami to be out of sight and he slowly starts to head back to his cell. He knew Maka and the gang were still in class and there was nothing to do. Ragnarok pops out and announces he is hungry.

"I'm hungry!", He says as he tugs at Crona's hair. This has become a habit when Ragnarok gets hungry. He didn't feel the satisfaction of his hunger as before when he use to eat the souls of humans. He needed to eat twice the food in order to feel somewhat satified. Crona assures Ragnarok he would go get food and walks to a hot dog stand in sight. He buys four hot dogs and gives two to Ragnarok and kept two to himself. As Crona was eating, he walks to the balcony of the DWMA, where Maka and him always go talk. He sits down and continues to eat the remaining hot dog.

"Hey Crona!"

Crona turns around and sees Maka standing behind him. "M-Maka, I haven't seen you in a while."

"Hmmm why is that", Maka sits next to him and gives him a disappointed look, "oh yea because you didn't come yesterday!"

Crona laughs in a jokeful way and scatches his head. "Yea i'm sorry about that, you see..", he tries to think of what to make up, "I uhh was tired and went to my cell to sleep."

"Ok we can hang out today! How have you been?", Maka says in her usual joyful tone. She always knew how to make Crona feel better, but he had too much on his mind.

He starts to fiddle with his fingers again and fidgets. "Hey umm Maka?" Maka looks at him and notices him acting strange.

"Yea is something wrong?", Maka scoots closer to him and makes him aware she was listening, "you can tell me anything."

"Remember N-Nanami?"

Maka sighs and rolls her eyes, "ugh yea I remember her. What about her?"

Crona thinks to himself if he should tell Maka or not. He completely trusted Maka, but something was holding him back. He knew that what happened last night would get Maka furious if she knew and he wouldn't know what she would do.

He kept quiet until Maka put a hand on him questioning what he was going to say. "Umm what do you think about her?

"I don't think much about her except that she's a brat", Maka smirks, "why? Do you like her?" She nudges him with her elbow and winks at him in mockery of his question.

"No! Nothing like that I was just asking!", he says as he waves his hands in embarrasment.

Maka frowns, she knew Crona was not telling her something and she felt a little hurt.

She laughs and shrugs off the question. "So me, Tsubaki, and Soul are gonna play basketball. Wanna come with?"

He attempted to relax and tried to give himself motivation to agree to go with Maka, but he was not feeling it. "You guys go on ahead without me. I-I think i'm going to stay in my cell."

She stands up and gives him a disappointed look but smiles. "Wait before I go, I have to tell you something. Hmm it's on the tip of my tongue..ohh yea", Maka smiles sheepishly, "the DWMA is going to close for a month and a half but don't tell anyone else. Sid told me and i'm only telling the gang, even Black Star. I hope that idiot could keep his mouth shut about it."

"W-why are they closing the academy?", Crona questioned, standing up.

"I'm not too sure but basically today was our last day." Maka answers.

They say bye to each other and Maka walks off to meet up with Soul while Crona remained on the roof, looking out towards the city. He kept thinking of Nanami and he sort of missed her. She did save him quite a few times after all. He was deeply starting to regret breaking off their friendship. I'll go see her at her cell, he thinks to himself.

Crona walks down to where Nanami's cell was and begins to think to himself of what he should say.

"Hey Nanami sorry about earlier, we're still friends right?... No no that's stupid", Crona whispers to himself. He slowly walks to her cell and knocks, but there was no answer. He notices the door slightly open and decides to walk in. He quietly gasps and feels his stomach drop, she wasn't there. He looks around and doesn't see any of her belongings in sight. She left.
