I wasn't planning on continuing this, but this idea just came to me. I don't own the song, or Soul Eater. So here it is.
Blackbird.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Crona looked in the mirror. Ever since he had been brought back to the DWMA he had wanted this moment. He was soon going to have someone to be happy with. Someone to call his own.
And it scared him to death.
He didn't know how to deal with this.
Ragnarok popped out of his back with a checklist.
"Okay." he said, "Let's go over this once again. Hair combed, check. Stylish tuxedo, check. Looking handsome," Crona looked terrified. "Check. And the package is ready. Looks like your all set!"
...
...
"Remember when we first met?"
Drat. He's reminiscing. That's never a good sign.
"It was back when we worked for Medusa." Crona continued, "I never even saw her face. But she saw mine. And she was fighting me. How we got from there to here, I'll never know."
"...Are you done yet?"
The panic started to overtake Crona. "I don't know if I can go through with this! What if she says no! What if she becomes disgusted at the very idea and pukes on my tuxedo! I don't know if I can deal with washing a tuxedo! What if-"
"CRONA! You are worrying to much about this! Let me ask you something. Do you love her?"
"Well... I... uh..."
"It's a simple question Crona. Do. You. Love. Her."
Crona took a deep breath. "Yes. I love her."
"Then for god's sake, prove it! You've been waiting for this moment you're whole life, and if you don't act now, I going to have to put up with your whining for the rest of eternity. She helped you spread your wings when you needed it, right? THEN FLY GODDAMMIT, FLY!"
Crona took a deep breath. He was ready to fly.
"Thank you Ragnarok."
"Whatever. If you tell anyone about this motivational speech, I'll clip those wings of yours."

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
Crona walked to the place that they agreed to meet up. He saw her before she saw him. He could see her blond hair glittering in the moonlight. Her dress was a pure white, a stark contrast to Crona's tuxedo. Crona could not believe how beautiful his girlfriend looked as she turned around to greet him.
"Hiya pretty Blackbird!"
"H-hi Patty."
(You thought it was going to be Maka. Didn't you.)
Patty smiled. "You're staring Crona. I don't look that sexy do I"
"Huh? What? No! I mean Yes! I mean... Uh..."
"I'm just kidding silly! I know I got the looks to make 'em bleed out of their nose."
"W-well... You d-do look very... beautiful."
"Awe. You're a sweetie." Patty kissed Crona on the cheek.
Patty and Crona walked to the restaurant. They had been going out for three years now. Patty had started calling Crona Blackbird ever since she saw him and Ragnarok fly off after the battle of the Black Dragon. It wasn't until Asura was killed that she figured out that Crona was a guy. Quite on accident really. She walked in on him in the locker room. It took a while for Crona to ask her out after that, but he did. Patty fell in love with him, and he with her, but Crona was too shy to admit it.
"Blackbird?"
"Hmm?"
"I wuv you!"
Patty on the other hand was not shy at all as she demonstrated during the main course, making Crona uncomfortable. As usual.
The rest of the meal was uneventful for the most part. It was late and the couple walked in the park, which was strangely green in the desert setting. They sat on the cobble-stone ledge and starred up at the moon which was laughing with glee. Almost all of the city was asleep. The night was dark. Crona decided that now was the best time.
Crona took a deep breath and prayed to God that he did not stutter his next words.
"Patty, I have something to ask you."
Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark, black night!
"I care a lot about you. When that Kishin egg nearly killed you, I cried so much, I thought I would drown. Maka was my first friend, but you are my first crush. I... I love you. More than anything. When Medusa came back from the grave, you were the one who believed that I didn't, once again, betray everyone. You defended me when it seemed like no one was on my side. You helped me through a tough period of my life. And I'll always be grateful for that."
"Where are you going with this Blackbird?"
"There comes a time in a man's life when he has to think about who is going to be in his life. And as a meister, that life could be really short. The fact is, I've been thinking about who I would like to spend the rest of my life with. What I'm asking is..."
Crona got down on one knee. Patty's breath hitched as he pulled out the 'package' and opened it to reveal a diamond ring. It was not big, but it was the best he could afford and at this point, Patty didn't carer. The point was, it was a RING.
"Patty Thompson," Crona started in his best voice, "W-will you m-m-m-m-" of course, his stutter hit at the absolute worst time, "m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-marry me?"
Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
"Yes. I will marry you Blackbird."
"Y-you will?"
"Of course. I love you."
Crona couldn't believe his ears. Despite all his confidence, he had already mentally prepared himself for every possible rejection. It never once occurred to him that she might actually say yes.
For a second, his brain shut down. Not knowing what else to do, he started to sing. He jumped around in a jubilant manner singing, at the top of his lungs, "She said yes! SHE SAID YES!" Then, like a lovestruck Rudolph, he jumped off the cobble-stone ledge, spread a pair of Black Blood wings, and flew around in a joyous dance.
And Patty simply watched all of this with delight. She had never seen this side of Crona before. She liked it. She loved seeing him happy.
She loved him.
He loved her.
What else is there to say?
