A guest called Stephy wrote a review and it said "Sometimes, when he wants to be, Black-Star can be the nicest person in the whole world." That line made an adorable idea pop into my head. Thank you Stephy, fluff is coming your way.


43) Why?

Black-Star closed to door behind him quietly, trying to not wake the person on the other side. He snuck on tip toes over to the closet and grabbed his jacket. The star slipped it over his arms as he reached out for the door handle.

"Where are you going?" A voice interrupted Black-Star with one foot out the door.

"This is all a dream." The star sang and waved his arms in the air.

"Black-Star."

"You're just imaging this Kiddo." Black-Star continued his dance.

"Black-Star." Kid said louder.

"You ate too many pork rinds last night."

"Black-Star!" Black-Star stopped and finished putting his arms in his jacket. "Eating pork rinds make you sleep-walk, not have strange dreams. If you're going to make a Hey Arnold reference, do it right. Now, where are you going?"

"I...I'm going to go save the world!" Black-Star puffed out his chest.

"At one o'clock in the morning and in pajama pants?"

"I'm Pajama-man..."

"You're an idiot. Just tell me what you're doing." Kid sighed.

"Me and Soul are having a guys night with Kilik and Ox."

"I'm a guy." Kid stated, crossing his arms.

"Yeah but Soul can't bring Maka and the others said it wouldn't be fair if you went."

"How wouldn't it be fair?" Black-Star stood in silence for a second then jumped forward and gave Kid a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Love you, bye." The star ran out of the house before he was stopped.

"Black-Star!" Kid shouted at the boy, but he was already gone when he reached the door. The young shinigami let out an irritated sigh and slammed the door shut. "Why, why do I bother with that moron?" Kid asked himself as he went into the kitchen, flicking the light on. "Why am I with him...if you can even call it that." He muttered and sat down on the counter. Kid's mind gave him an answer and a smile played on his lip as a memory came to mind.

Why?

Because he's funny.

"He said I couldn't take him out then I gave him one punch and-" Black-Star swung an arm out, but he lost his balance and fell over in his chair. "And he ended like this." The group surrounding him laughed. Kid kept a straight face but, unseen by the others, the star gave him a wink; both of them knowing that Kid was laughing on the inside.

"You're supposed to stay on the chair." Kid stated.

"But the floor's more comfortable." The star's comment made Kid half-smile and roll his eyes.

Kid turned around, opened the cabinet behind him and a plastic snake fell out. He brushed the snake aside and gave himself a mental note to put it back or Black-Star's prank wouldn't work on Liz in the morning. The prank was immature and foolish, but Liz's reaction got a laugh from everyone and even made Kid chuckle along with the others as well.

Why?

Because he's attractive.

"Again I'm sorry dude." Soul apologized, still holding his half-empty cup.

"It's no problem, it's just coco." Black-Star chuckled and slipped off his spoiled shirt.

"Did I miss something?" Kid asked as he and Maka entered the room.

"I thought you two were just friends." Maka said with an amused chuckle.

"They better be if they both want to stay alive." Kid said with a hint of seriousness in his voice.

"Soul just spilled some coco on me, that's all." Black-Star stated and tossed his shirt across the room. While the other three teens were talking Kid couldn't help himself from staring at the star's torso. He admitted to himself, although he's never say it out loud, but Black-Star was very attractive.

"Like what you see?" Black-Star asked, noticing Kid's wondering eyes.

"What?" Kid snapped out of his trance and felt his face heat up while his friends laughed.

Kid pulled out a jar of Nutella and opened it, he let out a saddened sigh when he found it empty. Why wouldn't people tell others when the jar of sweet-holyness was empty. Kid shook his head in his little exaggeration of hazelnut spread, he blamed Maka for it, she got him hooked to the stuff.

Why?

Because he's intellegent...sometimes

Kid sat on the couch with a puzzle book in his hands, stuck on a several questions. The young shingami didn't know much about Greek mythology and his OCD wouldn't allow him to skip the problem and his pride wouldn't let him cheat and look it up.

"Jupiter." A sudden voice said over his shoulder.

"Shit, how long have you been standing there?" Kid asked, patting his chest to calm his heart beat.

"A minute and five down is Jupiter. Zeus' Roman name is Jupiter. Plus Seven across is Styx and ten down is Gaia."

"How do you know all that?" Kid asked.

"Remember when I was forced to clean the library?"

"Which time?"

"Third time. When I was looking for a comic I found a Greek mythology book and I read it."

"Why don't you do that more often?"

"Then I can't tone the body you love so much." Black-Star chuckled and kissed Kid's forehead.

"I'd love if you were more intelligent than a shovel."

"Whatever you say."

Kid let out a yawn and jumped off the counter and discovered he had been sitting there for a good hour, he should probably go back to bed. Kid flicked the switch off and was about to go to his room when he heard the front door reopen. Whoever the person was tried their best to be quiet as he or she closed the door lightly. Kid rolled his eyes and turned the light right back on and leaned against the door frame. He was surprised to see Black-Star with a bag in his hand standing in the now lit room.

"A 'guys night out'?" Kid asked as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"It got cut short..."

"And my name's Barbra."

"It'd be a beautiful name for you."

"What's in the bag?"

"Uh...coffee..."

"Bullshit." Kid went over to the star and snatched the bag away from him. "Who gets coffee at one in the morning..." Kid dropped the bag as he held the item in his other hand. "What...how..."

"There was this dude Soul found on the internet that said he could find lost photos or fix ruined ones." Black-Star explained. "And I wanted to surprise you in the morning with the frame sitting on your desk next to you, but you caught me."

"Black-Star..." Kid held the photo with both hands, trying to keep himself together.

"I had to work for the dude for a couple of nights in order to afford it." Black-Star chuckled. "I never want to see or be near fish again."

"That's what you've been doing." Kid said softly.

Why?

Kid traced his finger over his mother's face. She stood with her white smile he remembered seeing before he went to bed and his father was next to her. He had an arm resting on her shoulder and Kid, an infant at the time, sat on a small stool with both of his parents holding him with their free hands.

Because, when he wanted to be,

"Thank you." The young shinigami stepped forward and hugged Black-Star then gave him a kiss.

Black-Star could be the nicest boy in the world.


The was so cute! Ah the fluff, how it gives you feels.
