QuantamTheory: thank you for sticking around, I appreciate it^^ trying to make thing as magical as possible.
This part is not as cute as the last one in my opinion, but it has much more drama and stronger Kima. Hope you'll like it!

kid's Point Of View
I looked at her, leaning my head on the writing surface. As if he noticed my stare, Soul turned around. I closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep. Unfortunately I tricked the wrong person. "Death The Kid." Stein called. "My apology for disturbing your beauty sleep, but I think the lesson is a little more important. I opened my eyes. "I'm sorry, professor. Would you like me to come and demonstrate a dissection to make it up?" Stein stared at me. "Yea, that would do." I could see suspicion in his eyes, His students NEVER volunteered, but I needed to pass Soul's grade for my sanity's sake. I forced myself to grin, picking up the knife. Today we dissected a bat. It was so cute, I really felt sorry for it. "Don't worry; I'll make sure you won't feel a thing." I promised the little guy, injecting him the sleeping drug through a small needle. He squeaked at me. "I really feel wrong doing this. Is it absolutely necessary? Why won't we just read about it or watch a video?" Stein eyed me. I sighed and dissected in silence.
"Are you okay?" Maka came down when the bell rang. "Yea, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." She looked at me with her deep green eyes. "Kid Death, are you lying to me? You were this close to passing out when its lungs touched your hand. Why did you even volunteer?" I shivered, remembering the little heart frozen in the middle of the body. "Well, maybe I'm not that okay. But I'll live, don't worry about it." She hummed, grabbing and squeezing my hand. "If you're ever scared, tell me, okay? I owe you this much." I smiled at her. From across the classroom, a red eyed scythe sent me a deadly stare.
Maka's Point Of View
Sports class, rather, meister training. Naigus whistled. "Good job! At this rate we'll definitely beat the weapons, and for the fifteenth time in a row!" I landed on my legs. Since the DWMA wasn't a normal school, girls and boys weren't separated. Instead, we were split into meisters and weapons, led by Naigus and Sid which already had a bet going. After all, the grand competitions were in just two weeks, and we meisters had a reputation to keep.
"Since you all do great in ground fights, we will now switch to flexibility practice." Black*Star looked annoyed. "Why not physical practice? I rather do some pushups then stretch." Kid looked at him with amusement. Since we have recovered our friendship Tsubaki allowed Black*Star to hang out more with Kid. He seemed to be very happy about it, almost as happy as he is to talk to me. "What?! The great Black*Star can't do a split?" Black*Star blushed at his tease. "Split is for girls." Now was my turn to blush. I didn't know how to do it either.
"Kid? Can you please come here to demonstrate?" Naigus called. Kid pulled his shoulders and stood beside her. He proceeded to copy every position she ordered, including some very difficult poses. My face changed colors in top speed- red at first and then so pale I couldn't think properly. He was so freaking flexible. "Tsubaki will have a hard time this year..." I heard Black*Star whispering.
"Wait! Let me try this one!" He called, determined to beat Kid. "I bet ya ten bucks he'll cry out of pain later." Kim nudged me. "You want those now or later?" I asked in sarcasm. It was obvious he will. I froze in place as I realized a crowd of girls stuck around to watch the two. One girl stepped in to talk to Kid. I focused, listening carefully. "…Tutoring me?" My mouth dropped. "That whor-" I was about to burst out at them when Kim laughed. I blushed, realizing I probably looked like a complete fool with my fists clutched and teeth gritted. Kid sent me a questioning look, making me blush even deeper. His face turned serious at my distress. "Excuse me," He talked over the multiple girls that tried getting his attention. I watched him as he pushed them gently out of his way. "Are you okay?" He asked. I was too shocked to answer. "Are they bothering you?" He asked. I nodded, allowing him to lead me back to where Black*Star was, holding my hand possessively.
Black*Star practically fainted; I think he ripped a muscle. "Okay scatter up people! Nothing to see here!" Kim chased away the shocked girls. "How did tiny-tits... two at once... rumor has it..." My ear caught some of the conversations. My head pounded. "Thank you, Kim." Kid said, obviously hinting her to leave herself. "Mph. Pay me back later, green eyes." I nodded slowly. At last, the three of us were left alone. Make that two- Black*Star didn't look like waking up soon. "I don't get it." I dropped on my back near his paralyzed body. Kid copied me. "There isn't much to get. Cheap girls are everywhere, aren't they?" I turned my head to him. "That's not it. Those girls, they said something about me that I definitely didn't need to hear." He moved closer, slowly putting his arm around me. It felt warm.
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. Doctor Soos said that. A brilliant man. Whatever they said, it's irrelevant, so don't get too bothered." I smiled, snuggling him. "What now? Those girls will definitely spread the word. If not because they're jealous, then because you're a Shinigami and fun to gossip about." His eyes rolled to me. "Is that so?" I blushed. "Doesn't matter, I'm fine with it. It's part of being who I am." I looked at him in surprise. "I disagree. Rumors are bad, especially for us. After all, we're on a tight line, remember?" It took him less than a second to catch my drift. "Oh death. Soul is going to be upset." he realized, considering out options.
"We can try to deny everything, but I don't see a point in lying. I also believe Soul won't be mad if we told him first hand. It's not like I kissed you, right? We just held hands." Kid thought out load. I started to get uncomfortable. Kid noticed, starting to nibble on his lip. "Listen, I'm sorry. It's my fault, I know, you have the right to slap me if you want to." I raised my eyes to his, falling in love once again with the bright yellow looking back at me. "It will make more sense to kiss you." I froze, realizing what I've just said. Kid blushed. "D-Do you want to kiss me?" He asked, trying to remain calm. His blush deepened as I nodded slowly.
We sat up, staring at each other. He reached in slowly, much slower than Soul. I tucked his shirt, closing the distance.
It was sweet, more than I ever thought it could. I never would have imagined my first kiss being so soft, if at all. More than anything it just felt right, as if we finally found our place in each other's arms. I could almost see the pieces, falling into place with a click, creating a new picture of happiness where loneliness once was. Our souls danced, cheering on us as the kiss deepened, and I found myself wondering why I was ever against it in the first place. I smiled into it, tightening my grab on his shirt as his hands made their way around my waist. Death, I love him. I never want to leave.
"Wha-" Black*Star got up, only to get thrown back again, blood sprinkling out of his nose. "Oh my god."
Kid's Point Of View
"We're sorry Black*Star." I tried not to burst out laughing. It was bad enough that I had this Idiotic Smile stuck on for who knows how long. No matter what I tried doing, it always came back. "Yea yea, just... next time warn me first, will ya?" I closed my eyes in happiness and kissed Maka's hand. "Hey! Are you ignoring me?!" He shouted, but I knew he was happy for us. "Umm... Black*Star, can you please keep it a secret for just a couple of days? We need to take care of Soul first, as well as some other... redhead. There will be rumors, but they only consist of the first part." He rolled his eyes. "You don't have to explain it to me; I am a god, after all." I raised a finger, immediately putting it down again. "Fine. Thank you." Maka nodded in agreement. "Maka..." Black*Star added a moment before we went back outside. "Hum?" she asked. "I'm happy for you. Kid is a good guy." I smiled as she nodded. "Shut up." She hissed at me as I tried to contain my laughter.
Soul's Point Of View
"Are they dating?!" The class continued, boring as ever. "She was so red..."
I yawned. The girls behind me gossiped loudly. "So cute. But what about Soul?" I raised my head at my name. "Who cares? Kid is hotter." My eyes widened. Really? How uncool, I was right there as well. "Excuse me, please, what the EFF are you talking about?" the girls froze. "I told you." A shorter one whispered. I fought the urge to punch her. Hitting girls isn't cool. "Now. Explain." I demanded. The girls exchanged looks. "Kid and Maka hit it on." The fatter one explained. My jaw dropped. "No, no, I'm sorry, she got it mixed up. I was there. They only held hands." a taller one hurried to explain. "But the girls, she got all jealous and-" her eyes widened under the glare the tall girl sent her. "Can you please start over? With details, big ones or small ones, I wanna hear it all."
