Kid POV

When I finally got back to Death City, classes had been done for an hour.

And I was tired as hell.

When I got there, I had to first talk to the smaller towns...ALL of them...and then had to go to the yhetti and found that they meant no harm and agreed to back off. Fine, but then they insisted that Liz, Patty and I stay and have some tea with them to warm us up from our trip. THEN we had to meet everyone because apparently the yhetti were social creatures that LOVED company and needed to share everything with everyone. Which was fine, but then we realized that they were gossips and had to tell us EVERYTHING that happened...like they were giving out plots to a damn soap opera.

When we finally broke away, it was a bit of a relief.

Except that that had meant going BACK OUT into the cold, which was now windy as hell.

I had to carry Liz and Patty on the inside of my coat to be sure they didn't freeze-even in weapon form.

And now that we were finally back at the house, rather than relaxing, I had to go see Chrona because I normally saw her right after classes unless I had a mission.

But she didn't know I had a mission because I had been given it early in the morning and I didn't see the need to wake her (she isn't really a morning person...not that she's grouchy, she's just dazed and pretty much unresponsive).

I changed and headed straight for the Academy, running down to Chrona's room.

I composed myself, straightening my suit before knocking.

Chrona opened the door, smiling. "Hello, Kid-kun." She opened the door further to let me in.

"I apologize for my tardiness..I had a mission in Sweden and those damn yhetti kept me later than need be," I explained, kissing her on the cheek.

She blushed and giggled. "Kid-kun, it's fine. When you didn't come after class, I assumed you had to leave early for something important."

I smiled. Chrona may be a little akward socially at times, but she understood how people work without speaking to them because she's spent her whole life silent. It's made her good at reading actions-or in this case, lack of...

I sat with her on the bed. "So, how was your day?"

"Pretty uneventful...except for this morning."

"What happened thos moring?" I asked curiously, holding her to my chest, loving her warmth after spending all day in the cold.

"Professor Stein had come over," She said.

"Really?" That bastard! If he hurt Chrona...

I looked down at her and saw that her eyes seemed hardened..."It was unpleasant, to say the least," She muttered. "He knocked to wake me up and waltzed in here...
I had to hide under my covers the entire time because I was naked!"

I blushed, thinking of her in such a position. If only I had come down this morning...

She huffed at her own thoughts, clueless to my daze, but managing to get my attention again. "Anyway, he told me that you spoke to him and let slip my reaction..."

Oh, shit! I was in trouble! "Chrona, I'm so sorry! I had never meant to-!"

"Kid-kun, I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at Professor Stein," She interupted gently.

"...Really? Why?"

"Because he came here to try and talk me into being a part of that idea." What? "He said that I was jumping into a relationship too quickly and I needed to explore my sexuality a little more. He said that his offer still stood."

"...What did you say?"

"I said that I loved you and I wasn't going to loose you just because I might've had a small reaction." She said quietly, blushing. She looked up at me and I felt my breath taken away with how much emotion she held. "Kid-kun, I love you. And for some unknown reason, you love me back...That's much more important to me than some little fling with a man that wouldn't care about me."

I smiled, nearly overwhelmed. I couldn't believe that she passed up a powerful Meister like Stein to be with me. Sure, I was a reaper, but she was a witch...normally people like her would hate me.

I cupped her cheek and leaned down to kiss her, letting all of my love and happiness pour out in that simple action.

She responded instantly and I was in heaven, wrapping my arms around her and holding her to me.

I pulled back and looked back into her eyes, smiling. "Chrona, you have no idea how happy you've made me by saying that."

She blushed. "R-really?"

"Of course," I strocked her cheek. "Chrona...you really don't know how beautiful you are, do you? You're sweet and kind and with a little more confidence, you could have any guy you want...Chrona, I was so scared that you'd leave me behind to find someone better..." I admitted.

She shook her head softly. "Kid-kun, no one could be better for me than you." She leaned back up, her lips on mine again.

When she pulled back, I had to ask. "So...you...aren't into Stein like that?" I know what others would think: 'shut up, Kid, and just enjoy the moment'. I had to know,
though.

Chrona crossed her hands on my chest, setting her chin on them and looked up at me. "Stein is attractive. I'll give him that. He's had a lot of experience with women and he uses that to his advantage. But there's one thing he lacks."

"What would that be?"

"He doesn't care about me. If I had a realtionship with someone like him, I'd get my heart broken. You DO care about me. You make me feel loved and special and that means more to me than anything. It's why I love you."

I smiled. So...I suppose the better man won...

In your face, Screwhead.
