Free returned to the room several minutes later, saying that the two other men were going to stay in the room until the run tomorrow morning.
"This is just too weird." Maka commented. "Giriko tried to kill us and now we're going to sleep under the same roof as him. This doesn't feel safe." She hugged Lance closer to her at her last statement.
"He's not going to try anything." Tsubaki stated.
"How do you know that?"
"Like I said before. We have Justin, we're the only ones that can keep him healthy and let him heal properly. Does Giriko really look like someone who can take care of a person medically?"
"I would love to hear the back story to those two, don't they hate each other?" Soul asked.
"Things happen." Kid said and ignored the grin Black-Star gave him.
"Maybe he should admit about what had changed." Soul said to Kid, having seen Black-Star's grin.
"Maybe he's waiting for the proper time." Kid glared at the white-haired scythe.
"Maybe instead of lying he should just come out with the truth straight up and not have everyone worry about him and pity him for the wrong things!" Soul snapped.
"What's your problem!?"
"You are!"
"Guys!" Tsubaki stopped the men's argument. "Kid and Black-Star left, get over it Soul." Soul bit his tongue, upset that Tsubaki and no one else but a few other people understood what he had been talking about.
"Kid, when are you and Black-Star are going to tell them?" Maka asked.
"Tell us what?" Tsubaki asked.
"Go ahead Kid, just tell the truth."
"This is not the time." Kid stated.
"Speaking of time, it's time to eat." Black-Star started to leave but stopped when Soul grabbed his wrist.
"Why don't you tell everyone Black-Star, you'd think you'd be announcing about you and Kid." Soul said to Black-Star softly.
"I'm not doing it without Kid, like it's been said, people change." The star pulled his hand away.
"If you two won't, I will!" Soul snapped.
"Soul, it's not something for us to tell, they have to do it on their own." Maka stated.
"What is going on? " Tsubaki asked.
"Nothing that concerns anyone." Kid said.
"Kid, maybe we should..." Black-Star's sentence trailed.
"Not yet, it's not time."
"When is it going to be? I'm tired of lying Kid. I want them to know."
"Know what!?" Tsubaki snapped.
"That's it!" Free's shout made everyone pause. "Kid and Black-Star are-"
"Keeping my secret!" Kenna shouted over Free, standing up next to a sitting Miriah.
"Kenna?" Kid said.
"I'm sorry Kid, but I can't keep it in anymore." Kenna took in a shaky breath and looked down at Miriah. "Miriah...we've gotten to know each other very well over the past five years, as friends...but you don't know something about me..."
"Kenna, you don't have to-"
"I do, I need to get this off of my chest." Kenna inturrupted Kid. "I was hoping to do this in private, but at least I have a support team if all goes bad...Miriah...I'm...I'm gay. I'm a lesbian." There were several gasps of shock from the crowd watching. Kid's jaw dropped, surprised at how brave Kenna was being.
"Good for you, but what does that have to do with me?" Miriah asked, getting up as well.
"Miriah...I..." Kenna's face turned a bright red. "I love you." Everyone took in a breath together and watched in silence, waiting for Mirirah's response. Miriah only stared at the other girl, her face blank of all emotions, not giving away a single thing. Kid could see Kenna trembling in fear and couldn't even imagine how the girl was feeling right now.
"Kenna..." Miriah finally said, but the tension still grew in the room. "I don't know what to say..." Miriah then smiled. "But I know what to do." And without warning, Miriah grabbed Kenna by the front of her shirt and pulled her into a kiss. Most of the crowd cheered, others watched in stun silence, Kid and Black-Star cheered the loudest for the girls.
"I..." Kenna stuttered out after they had parted.
"Took you long enough." Miriah chuckled.
"This is great!" Black-Star cheered and wrapped his arms around both of the girls. lifting them into the air. "I was worried you were going to never say anything."
"Black-Star! Put us down!" Kenna said between laughs.
"You're going to hurt them Black-Star." Kid said with a smile.
"Maybe you could use this moment to admit something as well Kid." Maka said.
"This is about Kenna, this is her moment. I'm not taking that away from her." Kid stated and went over to Black-Star and convinced the man to release the girls.
The rest of the day went by in a blur. Everyone had forgotten the argument that was about Kid and Black-Star telling the truth about something, they were too distracted by the new couple of the group. Kenna and Miriah were the same with each other, to a degree. Kenna was more open with Miriah, not having to worry about saying anything to give away her secret she had just announced to everyone in the building and word got around quick to the ones who couldn't hear or weren't in the room at the moment. Kenna and Miriah sat together and talked as if everything was the same, but they held hands every now and then.
Tommy and Timmy had asked if the two girl were like their parents, in love. Miriah had blushed and looked away from the twins and Kenna smiled and told them that they were just like their parents, in love. The boys asked if it was the same love as their parents, with them both being girls and all. Kenna nodded her head, saying love was love no matter who or what the other person was.
Kid felt his heart drop after seeing the small scene between Kenna and the twins, he wanted to know how Kenna could be so brave about it while he struggled to tell the rest of his friends about him and Black-Star, was there something wrong with him? Why was he so scared to admit what he was while Giriko and Justin came in without worry and Kenna just announced her love for Miriah publically and Miriah had kissed her.
"What's wrong with me?" Kid asked Black-Star when the men finally went to their room for the night, the shinigami was laying on the bed and staring at the ceiling as he spoke.
"What are you talking about?" Black-Star slipped his shirt over his head.
"Giriko and Justin pretty much admitted they were together and no one cared. Kenna and Miriah got together in front of everyone and again no one cared. Why is it that I can't admit that we are together?" Kid looked over at the star and saw his shirtless partner playing with the doorknob.
"I'm no shrink or anything, but I think it's because of your father." Black-Star stated and joined Kid on the bed.
"What does my father have to do with this?"
"Well, he rejected you for being gay so you're afraid of others doing the same thing to you."
"I hate it when you use your brain." Kid sighed.
"I'm more than just a very sexy body." Black-Star chuckled.
"Sometimes I wonder about that." Kid smirked. The shinigami let out a grunt when Black-Star moved and sat on his stomach.
"What is that supposed to mean?" The star asked, leaning so his and Kid's face were only inches away from each other.
"You can have it mean whatever you want." Black-Star grinned before pressing their lips together, intensifying the kiss quickly and running a hand along Kid's chest.
"Wait." Kid pushed Black-Star away.
"The door's locked and everyone else is in bed Kid." Black-Star leaned forward for another kiss, but Kid held him back.
"Double-check the door."
"But-"
"Do it." Black-Star muttered under his breath and went to the door. He grabbed the doorknob, turned it and pulled, finding that the door was not successfully locked. "Told you."
"Shut up." The star quickly locked the door properly and pounced right back on the bed.
"We're going to have to talk to Kenna later."
"I know, I know. Now let me have some fun." Black-Star grabbed Kid into another kiss, continuing and finishing what he had started earlier.
*Squeals* Kenna and Miriah finally got together. I still can't believe my oc's have a ship...I feel special.
So when are Kid and Black-Star going to admit their relationship? You're just gonna have to wait.
