Hello everyone, well here's the next chapter. At least this one doesn't have a back story XD.

"But Maka~, you don't understand, I don't want to!" the golden eyed boy protested to the dirty blonde girl walking by him. His face was pouting, very childish for a boy his age. The girl rolled her emerald eyes, her friend was usually very serious and showed very little emotion (towards other people), however, when he was with her, his more childish and playful side would show.

"Kid, I'm serious, out of all the kids in our classroom how many have you made friends with these first few months?" She cast him a serious look. He thought seriously for a moment with his thumb on his chin as they continued their usual walk back home. "One and a half." Kid smiled as if he had made an accomplishment. Maka chuckles, "So I'm the one and Tsubaki's the half, wow Kid, you did such a great job." she says with pure sarcasm. Kid snorts. He remains silent as they turn the street corner.

"Ooh, how about the Thompson sisters? You can invite one of them, they seem nice." Maka said with a kind smile. They were currently discussing, well, arguing over who their dates were going to be for the homecoming dance. "Perhaps, but they already have dates, besides that the little one kind of scares me." Kid said with a slight shiver. Maka raised a brow, I thought nothing could scare him.

"Why do I even have to go to that stupid thing? It's pointless." Kid looked down at the ground as they waited for the light to turn green. Maka sighed, "It's a great opportunity to try and make friends, Kid. If you don't you'll end up having a really lonely life like before(which you still kind of do)." the light turned green signalling for them to begin their walk across the street. "Why do I need people when I have you?" Kid said in a serious tone. Maka sighed, "That's true, but, I don't know...what if something happened to me?"

"I'm a grim reaper, I can make sure that will never happen. When we were little I had a ninja spy on y-" he stops talking when he sees the look on the girl's face. "You had a fricken' ninja spy on me!?" she yells. He opens his mouth to answer but Maka interrupts, "Never mind, I already know now. Anyways, well, what if I... what if even though you're a grim reaper you somehow fail, and I die, what then?" his expression turns grave serious. "I would make sure that who ever caused it pays the price." his features soften when he stares at her. "Oh, but even then, I'm a grim reaper, I can visit you in the underworld when ever I want." the blonde sighs in defeat. Well almost.

She knows that what she's about to say could lead to one thing or the other. These two have been friends since they were children, they have tried avoiding anything that could ruin their close friendship, that including, of course, love. These two held some type of feelings for each other, they could admit that to themselves, but not to each other. This was a very sensitive topic and both always avoided bringing it up. Which is why Maka hesitated when asking the question, fiddling with her fingers or tugging at her pigtails.

"...well what if I got a boyfriend?" Maka shut her eyes closed for a moment as there came a awkward silence between them. Kid's thoughts went haywire on him. He wasn't sure how to respond, they both knew they held some feelings for each other but they would not admit it. Kid took a breath before answering, "..Well um..wait would that mean you're considering getting one?" Kid asked with wide eyes. Maka blushed slightly, "N-No, not really. I don't know..maybe if the right guy comes along I might consider-" Kid's face showed nothing but utter shock.

By 'the right guy' Maka was actually referring to him, however, Kid had no way of knowing this. Sh-she- I thought- but. 'the right guy.' 'the right guy.' 'the right guy' her words echoed in his head. He felt a lump on his throat. He could still be very sensitive at times if someone hit the right nerve. Maka knew that look on his face far to well, the biting of the lower lip, the watery golden pools his eyes now are, his face becoming flushed, the beginning of his dark eyebrows quirking up. He was about to break down. He looked away and tried to avoid her gaze. Maka thought fast and kissed him on his cheek. His expression slowly turned back to normal except his lips now formed a sad face. "Kid, I obviously don't need a boyfriend right now, I- I can wait another year or so."

He looked away once more, he sighed sadly while putting his hands in his pants' pockets. He looked at the ground with his bangs covering his eyes. "Maka, I don't want you to run off with some boy who doesn't deserve to have you, I-I know I can still be very childish, and selfish. I'm sorry but I don't want to share you with anyone, you must really hate having me as a friend don't you?" Kid finally looked her in the eye, fear, sadness, hurt, worry, all these emotions were put into one stare.

Maka shook her head, "Of course not, I do stupid things too, like when I was small, I can and am possessive of you too(I just don't show it in front of others) but I could never hate you. I love you." Maka said this often. She did love him, but not the kind of love that involves two lovers, this was an 'I love you' that you say to a family member or sibling. However, this time, she had given a little more feeling to that 'I love you.', it had a hint of a romantic attraction hidden in it. Kid noticed this slight difference but didn't question it since their conversation had already gotten awkward enough.

They came to a halt as they noticed they were now standing in front of Maka's home. They exchanged their goodbyes, waved, and parted.

...

'I love you.' 'I love you.' 'I love you.' her sweet voice coming out of her plump lips kept on repeating itself in his head. He was lying on his bed, it was 10:00pm and his brain was still overthinking things. He moved around in his bed completely ignoring the fact that his bed sheets were now an asymmetrical mess. He pulled with both hands at the strands of his black and white hair. He wasn't the only one who had trouble sleeping.

...

Maka walked into the classroom on her own for the first time since pre-school. Kid hadn't walked with her to school this morning, she hadn't heard a single word from him or gotten a single text, some might say that's normal, but for Death the Kid, that was definetly not normal. He always felt the need to hear her voice. But now...had he forgotten about her?

Maka spotted Kid immediately, she was surprised to find him actually interacting with a couple of students in the back row. They were Kilik, Jacklyn, Kim, Liz, and Patty, otherwise known as the 'cool' or 'popular group'. Soul sat with them too but wasn't talking. Kid smiled and laughed at something Kim said. Maka felt a weird feeling in her, after reading all those books she now knew what this new feeling was, jealousy. H-He's smiling and laughing with new kids, boys,...girls, I know I'm the one who told him to do that, but why do I feel so...

Maka composed herself and put a I-don't-even-care look on her face as she walked determinedly to her seat next to Tsubaki who was smiling at her.

"Okay class go back to your assigned seats, the lesson is about to begin." Stein announced as he walked in.

Maka folded her arms in front of her and stared straight ahead at the teacher, trying her best not to glance in the direction Kid's seat was. She heard a thump noise to her left, she turned her head to find the spiky haired albino with red eyes sitting down. He gave her a warm smile, "Hey, what's up?" Maka smiled back and tried not to look past him at Kid who was sending a glance her way. "Oh nothing, just...chillin'." Maka mentally cursed herself, No one uses that term anymore! And what's up with it anyways. Soul chuckled, "Okay tell me what's wrong, lover boy didn't come in with you today, did you guys have a fight?" he asked with a curios glance at her before looking ahead. Maka did the same as Stein turned around to look at the students.

A light tint of pink was on her cheeks, "N-no, we just...ugh I honestly don't know what happened." Maka whispered back as Stein stopped paying attention. Soul sighed and gave her a look. "What?" Maka questioned him. He rolled his crimson eyes and shook his head slightly, "Did you bring up a weird topic to him? Specifically one about having a boyfriend...maybe?" Maka's green eyes widened, "Yes, I did, yesterday afternoon. Should I have not done so?" Soul chuckled, "You seriously need to learn how a boy's brain works."

Maka sighed hen turned to her right as Tsubaki tapped her on the shoulder, "Hey Maka, can I borrow a pencil, it seems I forgot my pencil case at home." Tsubaki scratched the back of her head with a nervous smile on her face. Maka giggled lightly, "It's okay, but seriously Tsubaki, you can be so forgetful sometimes. Here you go." she handed her the orange pencil.

[Kid]

The young grim reaper couldn't hep but glance at her a couple of times, the girl who was always on his mind, and roamed his dreams, Maka. She was talking to the albino boy with sharp teeth who sat to her left. He even got to see her blush at the red eyed boy. Kid placed his chin on his folded arms. Maka hadn't aven glanced at him once or given any sign she missed his company. This made him feel like he was shot by a bullet dozens of times. Kid sighed, so in the end she held no romantic feelings for me, just friendship. Nothing more, nothing less.

The brunette who sat to his left tapped him on the shoulder with a purple nail. Kid sat up and turned his head to face her. She had a smile on her face and her eyes were amused, "Just go tell her already, you're so hopelessly in love it kind of hurts to watch you." She crosses her arms and leans back on the seat. Kid gives a small sigh and looks down at his hands in front of him. "I don't have the courage to try and take it to the next level." Kid muttered. Liz rolled her blue eyes then leaned in with her folded arms placed on the desk in front of her. "Do you think she might have feelings for you?" Kid shook his head but Patty spoke up, "I think she does, I mean, you two are so obvious." she chimed as she colored on her class worksheet instead of doing the actual assignment.

Kid wasn't sure if he should take her word for it so he said nothing. Liz thought of an evil idea, "Hey, Kid." the said boy looked at her. "Want to go to the dance with me?" Kid's golden orbs widened.
