I do not own Soul Eater or Undertow. They belong to their respective owners.

I do own Desmond and Rain.

Desmond stood in her living room looking at Rain. It was the day after the basketball game and Rain had to keep up his end of the deal.

"Rain you know I see you as my brother, right?" she asked.

"Yeah, I know," Rain said.

"Then you know I say this with love."

"Say what?"

"…"

"What?"

"You look like an idiot," Desmond finally said. Rain was standing in front of Desmond wearing one of her green t-shirts that was too small for him and light blue sweatpants that were also too small.

"The deal was that I had to wear your clothes, right?" he said.

Light bulb

Desmond smiled a devious smile. "Change back into your regular clothes, were going out before school," she said.

"But-"

"Just do it."

Rain did as his meister said and the two walked down the block to a giant house. "Where are we going?" Rain asked.

"Kid, Liz, and Patty's house," Desmond answered lightheartedly.

"Why?"

"Hm. I thought the first question would have been how do you know where they live? Well we never said weapons had to wear their meister's clothes. I'm going to bring clothes to Patty and you're going to borrow clothes from Kid," Desmond said smiling back to Rain.

"That's pretty smart… wait how do you know where they live?" Rain asked.

"Patty told me."

Rain stopped walking for a minute to think about how scary those two could be if they spent more time together. This caused him to shudder.

"Let's go Rain!" Desmond called back.

They don't seem like they could do much damage… Rain thought. On the other hand, they would probably wind up destroying something if they were left unattended for a long period of time.

DING DONG, DONG DING!

Liz answered the door. She saw Rain first and blushed a little, "Oh! Um, hey," she said quietly. Then she saw Desmond and her blush faded. "What's up?" Liz asked Desmond.

"Once again I thought the first question would have been how do I know where you guys live… We wanna talk to Kid and Patty about the basketball bet," Desmond said. She chuckled and held up the bag of clothes she brought for Patty.

Liz giggled slightly at Desmond's comment and opened the door wider to let the two in.

Patty and Kid were in the kitchen eating. She turned around to see who just came in and jumped two feet in the air when she saw it was Desmond. Patty was wearing a white dress shirt and black dress pants that she got from Kid.

"What are you doing here?" she asked Desmond walking over to her and Rain.

Desmond sighed. "You know, Black Star said losing team had to wear winning teams clothes. He never said they had to wear their partner's clothes," Desmond explained. Then she held up the plastic bag of clothes that she had brought with her for Patty. "You wanna try these on?" she asked.

Patty grabbed the bag and looked into it, thanked Desmond and ran off to her room to change.

Then Kid walked over to Rain. "So I guess you came to borrow something of mine?" he asked.

Rain shrugged, "I think that was the plan."

"Okay, follow me please," Kid said walking off to his room.

Desmond stayed in the huge living room with Liz while they waited for the three to come back.

"So…" Desmond started to break the silence as she sat down on the couch.

"So," Liz responded sitting down as well.

"…"

"…"

"You like Rain don't you?"

"…"

"I KNEW IT!" Desmond yelled jumping out of her seat on the couch.

"You knew what?" Liz asked trying to play innocent.

"That you like him! Please you're so bad at being ignorant! I saw the way you answered the door! OMFG go for it!" Desmond practically screamed at Liz.

"Did you just say omfg?" Liz asked.

"… Is that really all you retained from that mini rant?" Desmond asked sitting back down.

"…"

"Liz…"

"Okay so maybe I like him a little. I just met him yesterday," Liz explained.

"So. Rain has a way of making people feel safe and like they've known him for their whole life," Desmond explained thinking back to the first time she met him.

"What do you mean?" Liz was confused.

"When I first met Rain, I didn't know anything about him, not even his name. But I still wound up laying my life on the line for him because looking at him made me feel like I could do anything, and as long as I was with him I felt like I'd be safe no matter what."

"Wow. What was going on?" Liz asked.

"He was getting beaten up by a bunch of eighteen year old thugs," Desmond explained.

"And you just jumped into that to defend him?" she asked amazed.

Desmond nodded.

"How old were you?"

"Thirteen."

Rain walked back into the living room wearing Kid's suit. Of course it was small on him. "Wow you actually told someone how we met?" he asked.

Desmond and Liz turned to look at Rain. Liz blushed and Desmond almost fell off the couch laughing at him. Once she regained herself she put her arm over the back of the couch and held up her pointer finger. "No," was all she said.

"You weren't telling her-"

"I mean, no, go change," Desmond said. Then she looked at Rain then Kid. "Why do you have more than one of those jackets?" she asked.

Kid shrugged.

Desmond sighed. "Seriously though Rain, you can keep the pants, but Kid, just give him an oversized t-shirt that you were going to throw out because it wasn't symmetrical or something," Desmond suggested. The two walked back into Kid's room. (Ps: Rain has a long-ish torso so that's why Kid's pants fit him.)

Liz looked back at Desmond. "I can't believe you would just throw your life on the line like that for someone you didn't know at all. Where did you meet him that this happened to thirteen year olds?" Liz asked.

"He was fourteen. I was thirteen. It happened in NYC. I was at the Light-Life Teen Club and I saw him getting dragged out and that was when I decided to help him," Desmond said.

"Really? Patty and I used to live in NYC. It's weird. Meisters seem to put their lives on the line for their weapons when they first meet. Kid did the same for Patty and I. We were street thugs that mugged people for money before we met Kid and one day he saw us and approached us. I wound up holding Patty to his head, but he wouldn't give up. He kept offering us to go with him, even though he could have died at any second. Then another time he wound up taking out multiple police officers that were about to fire on us," Liz explained.

Then she stood up. "Do you want some coffee or something? We have French vanilla coffee creamer if it makes a difference," she asked.

"Sure, thank you."

Rain and Kid came back out. Rain was wearing a blue t-shirt with Lord Death's mask on it and the same black dress pants as before. "Okay now, how's this?" Rain asked as he did a slow 360 for Desmond. She watched him as he turned, then clapped. "Much better. Thanks Kid," she said.

"No problem," Kid answered blushing a bit.

Patty came running out of her room dressed in Desmond's clothes. She was wearing an emerald green tank top with black straight leg jeans. "Everything fits?" Desmond asked.

Patty jumped. "Yuuupp!" she cheered.

Liz handed Desmond a cup and offered Rain one too.

The five spent the rest of the morning before school talking. Most of the conversation was how alike Patty and Desmond are sometimes. It surprised Liz and Kid based on how she spoke to Black Star the day before.

I didn't mean to be so predictable
But I blame it all on who made you irresistible.
