It was a few days after the whole banning-your-father-from-Death-City-for-shooting-Kid incident.

You were sitting with Kid on the couch, reading a book and runnings your fingers absentmindedly through his hair.

There was a knock on the door, and you stood up to answer it, kissing Kid's cheek in the process.

It shouldn't have surprised you when you noticed Blake (and Ray) standing on the other side of the door.

You opened the door, walking past them without a word.


"Something's obviously on your mind, Blake, so why don't you just say it?" Kid asked from his spot on the couch.

You gave Blake a warning look. You didn't want anything to stress Kid out, especially with what had happened, but Blake opened his mouth anyway.

"I thought that you agreed to take care of her!" Blake yelled, causing you to somewhat flinch.

"What exactly was it that you thought I was doing?" Kid demanded, standing up and causing you to grab his arm.

"Oh, sure! You get yourself shot and cause her to be worried sick about her is taking care of her, right?" Blake asked sarcastically with a snort.

"Blake, I don't know how many times I have to tell you this, but Kid loves me! That was the whole reason that he took that bullet for me in the first place!" You said, your voice firm as you tried to unsuccessfully stare him down.

"I would gladly take a bullet or even die if it meant that (Y/N) was safe from danger. I've tried to tell you that but you won't believe me. To be honest, I've known her for a long time, and ever since I first met her, ever since my mother died giving (Y/N) her soul to keep her alive, I promised myself that I wouldn't let anything happen to her." Kid said, his voice scarily low.


Ray stood there silently, grabbing his brother by the arm to try to silence him.

"You obviously don't care about me the way everyone thought, Blake! I'm happy with Kid! Are you going to pull a gun on him, too?" You asked, your voice choked with tears as you pushed past everyone in the room and out the door.

"That was really dumb of you, Blake! (Y/N) is so hurt that she could do something reckless and could get herself killed! If something happens to (Y/N), its going to be all your fault!" Ray said with a shake of his head, flinching when there appeared to be a hole in the ceiling.

Throughout Ray's little ramble, Kid had grabbed Beelzebub and sped off to make sure that you were safe, leaving neither one to notice.


Kid was searching for you, but you were on the bridge, watching in the water.

You felt something grab your ankle, and without being able to call out, you were quickly pulled into the water.

Kid seemed to know where you were, because he went to the water and actually inside it to save you.


Apparently Blake had the same thought, because he was standing on the same bridge.

He saw a flash of black and white, realizing quickly that it was Kid trying to rescue you and he sent his brother a text.

(Y/N) in trouble. At the bridge and Kid is in the water.

He sent the text right as Kid grabbed you out of the water, coughing and dragging you to the small piece of land beside the bridge.

Kid put his ear to your chest and when he didn't hear you breathing, he gave you mouth to mouth.

You started coughing a little while after he did this.

"Kid..." You said softly, wrapping your arms around him.

"I'm here. By the way, I don't care what Blake says. Even if he doesn't believe me, I love you so much and I will always protect you. You don't have to worry about anything." Kid said, reaching down to kiss your lips.


Kid took you to the Academy, where he laid you down on one of the hospital beds, and took your hand.

"I love you." You said, a small smile on your face and tears coming to your eyes.

"I love you, too. You have to know, (Y/N), that no one is going to ever break us up again. I'll make sure of it." Kid said with a smile, kissing your cheek.

You laid back against the pillows, holding out your hand to him.

He grabbed onto your own hand, giving it a quick squeeze, yet not letting it go.

You shivered somewhat when Kid pulled the sheets up to your chin and kissed your forehead before slumping back down in the seat.


Ray and Blake burst through the door, you ignoring Blake but giving Ray a timid smile.

"I was completely out of line back there. (Y/N), you've been through so much. I just can't help but want to protect you and when this guy comes into your life, no offence, it scared me that you were going to get hurt again. I never wanted you to get hurt in the first place, (Y/N)-candy." Blake said, his tone bordering on pleading.

Once he used his nickname for you, you couldn't help but crack a small smile at him before ducking your head somewhat.

Kid grabbed your hand again, causing a faint blush to make its way onto your cheeks before you smiled at him.

"I forgive you, Blake. But next time, instead of making accusations, either talk to Kid or talk to me about it so we don't have anything like this happening again." You said, a warning tone to your voice.


Blake rubbed the back of his neck nervously before grabbing your hand and smiling at you.

He made a silent promise to never again ask Kid: I thought I told you to take care of her.
