Crona POV
My eyes widened. "Well, it's because..." I began, my heart pounding so loud I could hear it in my own ears.
Now was the moment I could finally tell the truth. Her green eyes looked at me curiously, and my face reddened a great deal.
I was relieved it was darker now. My courage... Where was it now, when I most needed it? Even in battle, I never needed it so greatly.
My mouth went dry, and I couldn't speak. "Nothing. Never mind." I gave up. What was the point? She already had Soul,
or somebody much better than me. I wasn't sure, but I thought I saw her eyes flash more emotion than she had already revealed.
Hurt? Anger? Lost hope? I couldn't tell whether it was one or all. "Well, goodnight, then..." She turned to leave.
"Wait! Come back!" I cried desperately. I so badly wanted to say, but I just couldn't. I placed a hand on her shoulder.
She turned back to face me. Now my courage came, timidly, but still there. I brushed her hair softly.
"Maka... I love you." I said, leaning down and kissing her on her sweet, sweet lips. She smelled like honey and maybe a bit of jasmine.
Her lips froze for a temporary moment, then they replied to mine, accepting my first and probably only kiss.
We broke apart, and then she looked at me in wonder. "You... love me?" I nodded, and then my courage failed me.
I ran, of course, back down the steps, through the castle, back to my room, back to Mr. Corner. I slammed the door, and sat in it,
my head between my knees, sobbing. What had I done? Maka would hate me from now on, or at the very least, act awkwardly around me.
I should know, since I have so many times. I cried for however long, not caring what time it was.
Ragnarok popped out again, and started nagging me. My head whipped up, and I punched him in the face.
He shut up after that, and eventually left too. Maka never came back, I assumed she had gone home after my actions.
Finally, still weeping, I crawled into bed and fell asleep.
Maka POV
After Crona ran off, I walked home in a daze. He loved me. I admit, I think I had a small crush on him for a while,
but I didn't know he truly loved me. I could see it in his eyes when he said that.
"Hey, how'd it go, Maka? Meow?" Blair asked when I finally got home. I simply nodded and said, "Well, thanks for the suggestion."
Then I realized my partner was missing. "Where's Soul?"
Blair pouted and replied, "He didn't want to play with me, so he ran off. He should be back soon." At that moment,
Soul walked through the door. "Cool guys don't hide for long. How'd it go, Maka?" I replied, turning to go my bedroom.
"Well, thanks. Goodnight, I'm very tired." I went to sleep that night thinking about Crona.
