Sorry updates are slow.

Chapter Warnings: Swearing, Slightly mention of yaoi... and not just from Kid & Soul...

Soul glanced at the clock in Kid's room for what seemed like the 12th time. He finally gave up and decided to walk to the school.

He saw a certain blue haired assassin strolling out of the school as he walked up the steps. "Hey Blackstar!" he called out to his best friend.

"'Sup Soul?" Blackstar greeted his friend.

"What are you doing back, I thought you were in the mountains."

"Yeah, and I'm going right back. I just had to take a make-up exam."

"Oh, okay. I was wondering, have you seen Kid? He said he was taking the exam." Blackstar gave his friend a worried look.

"Soul, Kid wasn't one of the people taking the test." Soul frowned at his friend's words.

"Maybe he didn't show up…"

"No, I mean: He wasn't suppose to take the retake. They put a list of names on the board, and Kid's wasn't on there."

Soul stared at his friend wide eyed. 'Where could Kid be?' He wondered, his eyebrows furrowing together.

"Hey Soul, you alright?"

"Fine." Soul answered, but was still having deep thoughts about where Kid might be. "Listen Blackstar, I've got to go, but good luck on your training." He muttered before walking off.

When he was sure he was out of Blackstar's sight, he took of running. He looked at all the places Kid might be; he checked the park, and the town square. As he ran through the market, he almost ran directly into Crona, who was carrying a bag of groceries.

"Ah Soul, are you okay?" Crona asked, looking at his friend with dark, worried eyes.

"No time Crona, got to go." Soul muttered, dashing past the weapon-meister. He ran down the streets and finally stopped near an alley to catch his breath.

Inside the alley, he heard a soft groan. Soul followed the voice and saw Kid, lying on the ground. His hair was matted with drying blood and his face was bright red from someone hitting him. Whoever hit him held him down pretty rough too, because there were bruises on his wrists.

"Kid…" Soul groaned out in a hoarse voice, collapsing next to the other. He didn't know exactly how long he had been running, but he had searched half of the town and the only break he got was stopping to move around Crona.

Kid was barely conscious, but still responded to Soul. He extended an arm to reach for the other. Soul lifted his arm and intertwined their fingers.

Soul smiled before falling into darkness.

He sat straight up before groaning loudly in pain. He looked around to see that he was back in Kid's room. Stein sat next to bed, twisting his screw.

"Ah, you're awake. The reason you're having chest pains is because you strained a lung. You waited to long to take a breath." Stein continued to stare. "Luckily for you, Crona followed you and had to give you air for you to survive. Then he brought you and Kid to me." The man explained carefully.

Soul stared at Stein for a minute before realization hit him, he grabbed the front of Stein's shirt before wincing in pain again. "Where's Kid?!" He yelled in a hoarse voice.

"It's not wise to yell Soul."

"I don't give two fucks about the rules, I want to know where Death the fucking Kid is!"

"…Soul?" a quiet voice whispered at the doorway. Soul looked over in the direction of the voice, and there stood Kid.

Soul leapt out of bed and ran to Kid, wrapping his arms around him in a tight hug. "I was so worried."

"The hug would be nice Soul… if you had pants on."

Soul looked down to see he had no pants… or boxers, of any kind. Soul shrieked like a girl and covered himself. He turned his head and glared at Stein.

"You pervert! Did you molest me in my sleep?!"

"No. You were in a comatose state for two days. You had to be panned."

Soul covered his face with his free hand. "I… have never been… so embarrassed."

Kid patted Soul's shoulder. "It's okay Soul, I had to sponge bathe you if it makes you feel any better."

"You know it doesn't!" Soul barked out. "I'm going to find some clothes." He muttered before walking around Kid to go into the hallway.

Right when he walked into the door he ran into Crona, who shrieked like Soul did a minute ago.

Soul ran past the other and into the bathroom. He turned on the shower and stepped in.

'Kid saw every part of me…' Soul shook his wet white hair, trying to shake the thoughts out of his head. '…For some reason I'm embarrassed… maybe it's because he has a crush on me?'

'Or maybe it's because of my crush on him?' A tiny voice whispered in his head. Soul's red eyes widened.

'Is the voice right? Do I really have a crush on Kid?'

Hehehe... Crona kissed Soul. xD

Not really, he was just giving him air. :3 This chapter made me giggle when I was writing it. xD
