"Hades?!"

Crona jumped from the sudden outburst. "Please don't yell… Lady Medusa always yelled at me and I don't know how to deal with yelling…"

Kid slumped back into the couch. "I'm sorry. I never saw that coming… Just, two of the most proud and powerful people in the world had a…. you know."

Crona looked down. "I know… but I think one day I might be less… scared of everything."

Kid scrunched up is eyebrows. "Why are you so self-conscious and scared about everything?"

Crona squeezed his clothes. "Mom- I mean, Lady Medusa, was very abusive and cruel towards me. Dad was always very kind and caring towards me but lady Medusa had plans for me that he didn't approve of… so she kicked him out. Then locked me up until I could kill the little one."

"The little one?"

"The first creature or living thing I ever had to kill. It was kinda like a little gremlin/dragon thing."

Kid nodded. "That is horrible…"

Crona slumped down. For a moment everything was silent. Then Crona reached for his drink. "Yeah. It wasn't the best time of my life. But now that Maka gave up your dad to Asura, I figured, maybe I can be on your side? I mean… I never had to pick before… and you seem really nice and such…"

Kid took a drink of his beverage. "I thought Maka was your best friend? Why not be on her side?"

Crona looked around the room noticing how symmetrical it was.

"She is my first. I don't think that means she has to be my best."

Kid looked at a poster on one side of the room, then the poster –perfectly mirrored- on the other side. "Yeah… I guess you are right. If you want to be you can be on my side you can, although, I don't know if they think of it as sides yet… they probably don't even care."

For what seemed like half an hour they sat in silence. Every few moments, Kid would pop the bubbles in his drink to make it even. They just sat there. Not even thinking. Just, sitting. Suddenly Kid jumped.

"Right! Your dad!"

Crona jumped back and flopped off the back of the couch.

Kid jumped up to help him back onto the couch. "Sorry. I forgot why you came and I tried to remember and sorry."

Crona sat back down. "Yes, my dad. Can you help me get to him?"

Kid looked around. Everything he looked at he had to bounce his eyes off of to make sure nothing was looked at more times than the other object of that form in the room. "I guess I can help you. Partly because your dad has always been fascinating to me, and partly because you are a really nice person."

Crona looked up and blushed. "What? I am really nice? No one has ever really complimented me… I don't know how to deal with this…"

Kid laughed. "Just smile and say thank you. you don't have to always give people things in return."

Crona practiced to himself. "Smile and thanks. Smile and thanks."

Kid laughed again and stood up. "Well Crona, let's go find your dad."

He smiled. "Thanks!"

They both stood up and headed out the door.

"What a mushy little talk…"

Kid jumped at the familiar voice. "Oh… I forgot about Ragnarok."

Crona smiled. "I finally learned how to keep him in for periods of time. But I think it is mean to keep him in for no reason. That would be bullying and I don't know if I could deal with being a bully…"

Kid smiled to himself.

Crona is a good guy. He is really sensitive though… Oh well. That is what makes him him."

"Oh! So Ragnarok can hear everything even when he is in?"

Crona nodded.

"YEAH! This little pipsqueaks body is so tiny I could hear a pin drop through it!"

Ragnarok started poking him and pulling on his clothes.

Kid stood in front of them and poked Ragnarok.

"OW! What was that for?"

Kid looked at him. "You are smaller than Crona. I hope you know. And I barely poked you, so think of how much it hurts Crona. What would you do if I connected your nerves? And everything you did to Crona you could feel? Would you be nicer?"

Ragnarok laughed. "Whatever! No one can do that!"

Ragnarok pulled on Crona's ears. "OW!"

Ragnarok backed off. "That hurt! What was that?"

Kid smiled. "Well, if you hurt Crona, it hurts you."

"What? When did you do that?"

Kid smiled. "I poked you."

Crona smiled. "So I won't get hurt anymore?"

Kid laughed. "Not unless he wants to hurt himself."

Ragnarok glared at Kid. "That is really dumb. Like really dumb. Like, I could cry that's so dumb."

Kid shrugged. "Oh well."

"You two should just make out you are so mushy."

Crona looked completely shocked. "WHAT?! I am not gay! I like girls! I think… I mean. You know? Are you gay Kid?"

Kid was flustered as well. "Well, no. well…. I don't know! I mean, I have never had a girlfriend! But like, WE AREN'T MAKING OUT!"

They both just kept walking silently. They were too flustered to say anything. Ragnarok had slipped back in at some point after they got awkward. They both just kept walking. Neither of them had the guts to say anything, after all, Crona was already an awkward child, and now they both had questioned their sexuality out loud, after they had been told to make out, and then had to walk together, alone, silently, and flustered.

"Um…"

Crona looked at him. "What? You were gunna say something?"

Kid's face only got redder. "Uh… no. I forgot."

"Ok…"

What the hell is happening? Why…. Um… I can't think… Ok… We are at least at the school… This shouldn't last long… I hope. I just wish I could breathe…

Yes, I made a gay ship for like twenty seconds. I had to. I apologize if that is not *in sassy voice* appealing to your needs. :P I don't even know if i will keep it. I guess this is where review hogs would say 'HELP ME!' But you only have to if you want. But thank you guys again for reading!
