Maka puts a hand over her heart and takes a deep breath before she opens the doors to Dark Side insane asylum.
She prays to God she doesn't see Stein..That everything is ok and that she will be able to see her mother..
Her eyes search the front desk and she lets out a sigh of relief.
Only that brown haired lady is sitting at the front..No doctor.
"Oh look.." The woman glances at her before looking down at her phone. "I didn't think you were coming, your never late."
"Yeah, ran into some traffic."
And by that she means the cab driver almost hit a fucking deer but she wouldn't say that.
Maka walks up to the front desk as the lady pulls out that familiar book.
"I can see my mom right..?" Maka looks at her, her face getting a little pale.
"Yes, Kami has been stabilized." The woman nods and pushes the book over. "Just be a little careful of what you say and do..There will be so many nurses in there you probably won't be able to barely walk."
Maka just signs for her mother and then for Crona, letting out a sigh of relief..
Her mother is ok..She can see her..
"..Your still seeing Crona?" The woman looks up at her like she's stupid when she got the book back.
"Yes now ring your little bell, I don't have all the time in the world." Maka grunts.
"..." The woman glares at her, Maka obviously pissing her off but she rings the bell any way.
That male nurse she always sees comes out of the back, at seeing her he turns his head to the side trying to hide his smirk.
"Let me guess Kami?" The man grunts.
"And Crona." The woman sighs.
"Crona..?" The man's smirk falls and he gives Maka a suspicious look.
"yes Crona, now lets go I want to see my mom." Maka walks past the desk, towards the elevator.
The man just grumbles under his breath as he follows her, he pushes a button and they both get in.
"So.." Maka watches as he pushes the 5th button and the doors close. "..Thanks for the pencil.."
She's feeling in a good mood. That's the only reason she's doing this.
"Hell don't mention it." He grins over at her..
Maka blinks..
This man has very sharp teeth..
"You better not have brought it though." He sighs. " I would hate to have to break one I gave you."
"Oh, how horrible would it be if you broke a pencil you spent five cents on." Maka rolls her eyes.
"Hell I didn't even spend that." He chuckles. "You got a mouth on you huh?"
"Yup." she grunts.
She can see a vein beginning to pop out of the man's head..He has a short temper huh?
This should be fun.
"Damn kids.." He grumbles as the doors to the elevator opens. "Have no respect.."
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know giving away an old pencil equals me giving you respect." She smirks at the man as they walk down the hallway together.
"It wasn't a old pencil...well ok it is but it's a good quality damn it!" The man looks away from her. "I've used that pencil for years for my art work..It use to give me sort of luck back when I was an artist."
He looks at her and gives her a grin.
"Doctor Stein told me you have a sketch book, so it's a good thing I did give you that pencil. It's fucking awesome if you want to draw small details and shit." His eyes flicker with excitement. "Have you tried it out?"
"No I haven't." Maka studies him. "Not being rude, but I would never see you as the type to be an artist."
He really didn't..He looked more like..I'm going to spend all my time drinking and getting into fights kind of person.
Much like the people from the jersey shore.
He's even tan like them..
"Whatever." He grunts and looks away, he looks almost embarrass.
"..I'm not really an artist." Maka keeps studying him. "I only draw eyes."
"What about the rest of the body?" The man turns and looks at her again.
"Just eyes." She shakes her head.
"..Well I'd like to see your sketches some time." He grumbles and averts his gaze again. "But you better use that fucking pencil..It was one of my favorites."
"Then why did you give it to me?" Maka grunts. "That was stupid of you."
"Because I broke your stupid pencil and for some stupid reason felt bad." The man grumbles, a vein sticking out of his head. "I'm starting to regret it now."
"Already?" she smiles smugly at him.
The man gives her the middle finger, just for his face to pale.. "Uh..Sorry old habits die-
Maka sticks out her middle finger, a smirk on her face.
The man stares at it a moment before a large grin rips out on his face. "I like you, you little brat." He chuckles. "You have some balls for a girl."
"Damn straight." Maka smirks and puts her finger away as they stop in front of the familiar door of..
403.
"Well I'll be back later to take you to Crona's.." His face scrunches up at saying his name as he pulls out his keys and unlocks the door. "..When do you think I should come back?"
"I don't know." She shrugs, as she takes deep breaths..She has to be ready for this.
"..I'm sure Stein will call me but I'll be back after a get a smoke." He smirks. "I quit drinking but hell can't quit them both."
"You still drink." Maka grunts.
"..What?" He blinks.
"I said you still drink.." Maka leans in and takes a sniff. "You drank some vodka this morning..I don't count that as quitting."
"..Ok how the fuck did you do that?" His eyes are wide.
"I have a alcoholic father." She shrugs. "I just know these things. So don't try to lie."
"Well I'll be damn.." He grumbles and starts to walk away.
"Hey."
He turns to look back at her.
Maka smirks as she gives him the middle finger before walking into the room.
She can hear the man chuckle as she looks around.
When the woman at the front said there would be a lot of nurses she wasn't kidding.
There has to be at least..twenty is this small room and it's making her feel a little claustrophobic.
All the nurses give her an odd look..Some look scared, some look nervous, and some look pissed off.
Maka's eyes fall on her mother and..
Oh god..Please just make this stop..
Her mother is laying on the floor, her limps spread out as if she's about to make a snow angel. She looks up at the ceiling and..
Those eyes..Those eyes will give her nightmares for the rest of her life.
There dilated and glossy like usual but..her pupils are so small it looks like she doesn't have any. Her veins are visible in her mother's eyes..There more red then green now.
Maka's feet move on there own..closer to the woman on the floor but really she just wanted to leave. To be away from here.
"Mom.." It comes out as a whisper.
Her mother's head turns at an odd angle to look at her, those..eyes locking onto hers.
Maka's legs are becoming weak.
"O-Oh Maka..It's been a while hasn't it.." Her mother's lips go into a tight line.
"..Yes.." She doesn't know what else to say.
"What no bread?" She pouts as she studies her daughter with..those eyes.
"..No I'm sorry mom." Maka sighs. "Spirit hasn't gone shopping.."
"Spirit..?" Her mother's eyes become more glossy. "W-Who..?"
"No one mom."
If she doesn't remember Spirit then that's for the best.
She doesn't want her to remember that man. It would only cause her hurt.
"B-But Maka..I know S-Spirit..' Her eyes become almost watery. " W-Why..Why haven't I seen him?..I f-feel as if he should be here with me..b-but you're the only person who comes to see me..."
"Mom just forget about him." Maka almost growls.
He should be here.
But he's not.
"..D-Does he not love me Maka?"
Maka's breath hitches..
No she can't see this..No she cant'..
Tears slowly fall down her beautiful mother's face, her lower lip querying.
Maka feels the lump in her throat.
"M-Mom please don't cry-
"He doesn't does he?..He's abandoned me..after all I've done for him.." She shakes her head, her words so bitter.
"You don't need that ass hole mom." Maka gets to her knees next to her..her eyes are shaking.
"..I understand now.." Her mother's tears keep falling. "Was I-I the only one in love..?"
"Mom-
"Maka..time is short." Her mother's tears suddenly just stop, and her head jerks oddly to look at her again.
'W-What?" She almost jumps from the change of her mother.
"Time is short..The evil one is getting close.." She slowly sits up with her arms staying limp..She looks like a puppet being pulled up by strings.
"I don't-
"Please just listen." Her mother looks at her with panic eyes.
Maka just nods..but she frowns.
"..Baby time is short..I'm getting weaker and weaker.." Her mother leans in closer but Maka stands her ground. "I won't be able to last much longer."
"what are you talking about mom?" Her frown deepens.
"Beware of the snake.." Her mother moves her arms in an odd way..Maka guessing trying to symbolize snakes as she makes hissing sounds.
The nurses are starting to talk.
"..Beware of the three eyed man Maka." Her mother gets so close she can feel her breath on her face. Her eyes are wide and odd looking. "He won't stop till he has you my beautiful, beautiful Maka..He wants your soul but as long as I'm here he can't touch you.."
"Mom..' Maka takes a deep breath she has had enough. "There isn't a man ok? I know there isn't!"
The whole room goes quiet.
Maka averts her gaze from her mother..Not able to look at her.
"..So it's true.." Her mother's voice is shaky.
Maka can feel her eyes start to water.
"Y-You don't believe me..You think I'm crazy.."
Theses words are daggers to Maka's heart.
"Mom I just..ok it's hard to believe that-
"Oh I understand.." Her mother's tone is hard..and sharp like glass. "..You think I'm so crazy?! Well you won't when you start seeing the man! and then you'll be sorry!"
Her mother is panting but Maka can't look at her.
"..W-What am I saying?" Her mother's tone completely changes. "..I don't want you to ever see him baby! Please you can think I'm crazy but heed my warning! He will come for you next! Please never be alone..never look into mirrors for to long."
"..Mom.." Tears are starting to form at the corner of her eyes.
"Behold the three eyed man!" Her mother suddenly screams, pointing to thin air. "He's come to torment me for he know's my times about to come!"
The nurses start to walk over calmly.
"Mom!" Maka shouts trying to get her to calm down but she continues to scream as she rips chucks of her hair out.
"I'm not going down with out a fight you bastard!" Her mother growls and then she-
No..Not again.
Her mother attacks a nurse..bitting into her neck.
Maka can only watch in horror as her mother fights 20 nurses..biting, kicking, and punching.
Blood is getting everywhere and it seems they just can't get a good hold on her mother..
Her mother is swallowing there blood.. tears falling down her face as she screams bloody murder.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you before you can touch her!" She screams before she bites another nurse..ripping some flesh off his shoulder.
"Mom stop!" Maka screams and before she knows it she's charging.
She's charging towards her mother.
Her mother turns on her and-
Slaps her across the face, her mother's nails scratch across her cheek.
Maka can't stop the tears..not because that hurt but..because her mother had hit her.
She had attacked her.
"Stand back!" Suddenly Stein comes out of no where and tackles her mother. He struggles with pinning her down as the other nurses quickly come over and stab her with needles.
"Get her the hell out of here!" Stein growls motioning for Maka. He locks eyes with her. "..go home Maka..just go home.."
"Stop it the three eyed man is here!" Her mother screams as she still thrashes in their arms.
"..." Maka runs out of the room, tears streaming down her face as she bumps into something hard.
"Whoa what the hell- Hey what's wrong?"
Maka looks up to see that male nurse looking down at her in concern.
No words would form.
"Take her out of here!" Stein yells one last time before they shut the door.
"..I think they want me to take you home." The man looks at her a moment. "Hey..what happen in there?"
Maka shakes her head.
"Take me to Crona..I need to see Crona." Maka takes deep breaths..Her hands are shaking so bad.
"..I think you should go home-
"I don't give a fuck ok?" She growls. "Just take me to Crona!.."
She needs him.
"..Alright." The man starts to walk away , Maka right on his heel. "..I'm not suppose to do this but.." He looks at her from the corner of his eye. "I got you alright? This will be are secret."
"..." Maka just nods as she wipes her tears away.
She didn't want to just show up crying..She wanted to give him a smile first..
"..What the hell?" The man stops once they get to the hallway with Crona's room.
Maka follows his gaze and can't help but to raise an eye brow.
A lot of nurses are standing by Crona's room..all of them chatting eagerly about something.
"Can you believe she came back?"
"After all these years!"
"I wonder how she's like?"
"..Okay then." The man leads her over to Crona's door. He gets out his keys-
"You can't go in there." A nurse turns to glare at Maka's nurse.
"What the hell you mean we can't." Maka growls. She's in no mood to play games.
"Crona already has a visitor." One nurse speaks up.
Maka's expression falls.
Another visitor..
Her eyes widen..
Could it be Ragnarok?!
Maka looks up in the little window trying to see this person but..
She doesn't see anyone..She can't even see Crona.
Shit.
"Who's visiting him?" Maka growls looking back at the group of nurses.
"His mother, Lady Medusa." One woman speaks up excitedly.
Maka's heart almost stops.
..Medusa..
The bitch who abandoned Crona, who never gave him a birthday party or hugged him?
That bitch is here? Right now? Visiting him?
Her breath is taken from her..
..Nothing is going as expected today..everything is crazy.
"How long has she been in there?" Maka walks away from the doors to walk closer to the group of nurses.
"I think she just got in there about 15 minutes ago-
They all hear the door creak open.
Maka turns.
Oh.
No.
A woman walks out of Crona's room and Maka immediately takes in everything about her.
She wears a tight black dress, with nice high heels to match. Her hair is blonde with these two long strands that come to the front and do a weird braid..
She looks nothing like Crona..
And her eyes..
Maka glares at this woman a anger burning her deeply.
Those eyes are the eyes of a snake..
There golden like Kid's but..she hates them.
She hates her.
"Ah lady Medusa! It's been so long!" One nurse chimes excitedly..All the nurses seem to have perked up except the male nurse.
"Yes it has." The woman gives them a sweet smile..
It's fake. Maka knows it is.
"How was your visit?..gosh I couldn't imagine having a daughter like that lady Medusa..We all feel for you." One nurse says.
Oh if looks could kill..Maka would have killed that woman.
"Crona's a boy!" Maka growls, her eyes burning dangerously as all eyes fall on her. "Don't you fucking talk like that. She's lucky she has a son like him!"
Maka sends a glare to Medusa.
"You don't deserve Crona as a son, he's amazing and you fucking abandoned him!" Her breathing is speeding up. "You only spent fucking 15 minutes with him!"
"I know." Medusa sighs sadly. "I am a horrible mother..your right I don't deserve Crona."
All the other nurses look at her with concern but Maka's glare hasn't fallen.
She can see right threw her.
"I've been rather busy with work and..oh but that's no excuse." She shakes her head as her snake eyes lock unto Maka. "..You must be Maka right?"
"How did you-
"Crona told me all about you." Medusa smiles. "That's pretty much the only thing he talk about..his friend Maka."
Maka can't help it...'
She blushes.
"I'm glad to have met you in person." Medusa holds out her hand, a sweet smile on her face. "I'm medusa, Crona's mother..Thank you so much for being there for my son. It's so kind of you.."
"..." Maka just looks at the hand.
She would not touch her.
"oh I understand." Medusa pulls her hand away but that smile hasn't fallen. "Well..it was nice Maka..I hope I see you again.."
The woman turns and walks away, the group of nurses following her.
"Real soon."
Maka can hear the smugness in that if no one else could.
"Huh, she seems like a nice woman." The male nurse shrugs. "I was expecting her to be crazy or something."
"..." Maka just walks into Crona's room, slamming the door in the male nurse's face.
She is not a nice woman.
She is a snake.
"Crona!" She shouts maybe a little loudly but she's worried.
A fear is gripping her heart.
Maka looks over in the corner.
Her breath hitches.
Crona sits in the corner like normal but..his head is hanged, his bangs covering his beautiful eyes.
Her heart feels gripped.
He looks so frail..and she's afraid if seeing Medusa could have broken him.
If she hurt him...
"Crona!" Maka rushes over, skating on her knees across the floor to stop right in front of him.
He doesn't respond.
"..Crona.." Maka reaches out, touching the boy's hand that's resting on his knees, a frown on her face.
The boy tenses at the contact.
He slowly lifts his head up.
His eyes are big and odd looking..There not blinking but there looking at her.
"Crona." she tries again.
He blinks.
"Maka..?" Crona blinks a couple more times and then rubs his eyes before looking at her again as if he couldn't believe she was there. as he focus on her a smile rips out on his face. "Y-Your back!"
As soon as that smile had come, it was gone.
Crona frowns, looking down at his feet..his face looks like it's getting paler.
"Crona I-
"D-Did you see her?" His eyes shake, his face becoming pale.
'Yes I did.." Maka takes a deep breath. "..Did she really only stay here for 15 minutes Crona?.."
"I-I don't know..s-she wasn't in here for to l-long but.." He smiles but..Maka can see it's a sad kind of smile. "I-I'm so glad she came to see me..I-I thought s-she had forgotten about me.."
Maka's heart hurts..
"When was the last time you saw her?" She gets closer, studying the boy.
"U-Um..s-she told me it's b-been seven years.." His gaze shifts.
Oh.
No.
Seven..Seven fucking years? And she has the balls to come in here for 15 minutes?..
The saddest thing though..that breaks her heart is..
Crona's ok with that..He's happy she just came.
She hates that bitch.
"..How was the visit Crona..?" She grits her teeth..She has so much she wants to say but she doesn't want to upset him.
"G-Good.." By the way his eyes shift and his face pales..
She knows he's lying.
"Did she hurt you Crona?" Her voice comes out sharp, almost a growl.
Crona looks at her with wide eyes and she can't blame him.
It surprised her too.
"N-No..s-she's never hurt me before.." He mumbles and averts his gaze..A far away look to them.
"If she ever did you would tell me right Crona?" Maka gets closer. "I don't want any one hurting you."
"M-Maka.." He looks at her, those beautiful eyes holding awe for her again.
They stare into each other's eyes for a moment before the boy nods and averts his gaze with a blush on his face.
"I-I'll tell you Maka.."
"..So I heard you talked about me a lot to her." Maka smiles trying to change the subject to something lighter.
She expected Crona's blush to deepen but..
Crona's blush is lost and his face becomes a deathly pale. His blue eyes shake as his body and he can't look at her.
"It's ok Crona. I don't mind that you-
"I-I didn't w-want her to k-know about y-you.." He mumbles and Maka barely hears it.
"..Why?" She blinks when she feels some stabbing pain in her heart..Is she feeling hurt?
"I-I'm worried...no not worried I'm terrified that she'll.." He trembles, his breathing becoming uneven. "T-That she'll take y-you away f-from me...or that she'll make me..."
Crona grips his hair tightly, his eyes wide with panic. He's panting as if he can't get enough oxygen.
"No matter what she does Crona, she couldn't take me away from you." Maka grabs his hands, and starts to rub them gently for comfort. "You have nothing to worry about."
"M-Maka.." His trembling has died down as he looks at her. "..Y-You don't know Medusa..she.."
He bows his head.
"Well she don't know me either." Maka lifts his head to look at her, she gives him a firm look. "I already told you..I'm not going anywhere and nothing Medusa could do would change that."
"..." His eyes shake as he searches hers..He's looking for something and Maka guesses he finds it because he lets out a sigh of relief and his body relaxes.
Maka smiles and lets go of his hands..
She knows he believes her.
He trusts her.
"Okay M-Maka.." He averts his gaze..His face is still so pale..
He bites his lip while gripping his arm tightly with the other.
His eyes shift and she knows he's having some sort of battle in his head..
Maybe he doesn't trust her-
"H-How.." He takes a deep breath and it sounds almost painful. He still doesn't look at her. "H-How..was the visit with your mom?"
Maka's breath hitches..Everything that had just happen with her mother hitting her hard..making her relive the gruesome scene.
His question, along with his soft voice broke the dam she kept in her heart to hold everything back.
It's destroyed now and everything is leaking out.
Maka cries..not silent tears..no She's actually crying making noises as her shoulders shake.
It sounds so disgusting..She's so disgusting.
She tries to hold back the weak sounds but..it just makes them worse.
Now it sounds like she's coughing between wines.
She hates this..but she can't stop.
"M-Maka!" Crona jumps up, getting closer to her panic in his eyes. "I-I'm so s-sorry! I-I take it back! I-I'm so sorry I asked! p-please don't be sad Maka! I-im so sorry-
"N-No!" She croaks out threw tears and before she knows it she's throwing her self in his arms, burying her head in the crock of his neck.
"Maka.." He tenses at the grip she has on him but..she can hear the concern in his voice. "I-I didn't want to upset you.. Y-You don't have to talk about it Maka..I-I shouldn't have-
Maka shakes her head, silencing him.
"N-No..t-this need to come out..I-I need to talk about this.." Maka grips the thin hospital robe against the boy's chest weakly..She can't stop the words. "..I-I need you Crona.."
She hears him gasp, his body so tense for a moment before he completely relaxes.
"O-Ok Maka..I-if you need me..I-I'm here." Crona's pink locks brush her cheeks as he turns his head towards her..His words are so soft..and it just causes the tears to fall more.
He still isn't hugging her back but all she needs is his words.
"My mom..s-she's completely losing it Crona.." Maka takes deep breaths but she can't stop. "She attacked 20 nurses while I was there..She bit them..and there was blood..God there was so much blood and she kept swallowing it!"
Maka trembles in his arms.
"She kept screaming about that damn man..That he was in the room and fighting him when really she was just hurting the nurses..and then she.."
She takes deep breaths.
"She attacked me.." This comes out no more then a whisper.
Crona's whole body tenses up.
"W-What? Did she hurt y-you?!" She can hear the panic in his voice though she can't see his face.
She doesn't answer.
"M-Maka please..I-I don't like people hurting you either.." He trembles. "I-if she hurts you...you will tell me too right?"
Maka nods and takes a deep breath. "She didn't hurt me..it's just the fact she hit me..."
Crona doesn't relax.
"..My mom would never hit me.." Maka can't stop trembling. "..That woman I saw..She can't be my mom but.."
She's no longer making sounds but silent tears fall down her face.
"T-That's the horrible thing Crona..I-I know that she is my mom...That the woman I use to know isn't there anymore..she can't be."
"Maka-
"I just don't know what happen..my mom never acted strange..the day before the fire she took me to the park. She was normal..She wasn't insane.." Maka's grip tightens around Crona. "..Just what the fuck happened?"
"I-I don't know Maka.." Crona's voice is so soft..as if he's afraid of speaking. " I-I don't know what to say..or d-do to help you Maka.."
He's trembling so bad.
"I-I don't like seeing you sad..I-I want this to stop..so you can be happy but I can't do anything. I-I'm so sorry I'm so u-useless I-
"Don't say that." Maka pulls away from him to lock eyes with the boy. She knows her eyes are swollen but her tears have stopped. " I never want you to say your useless because your not.."
She cups his cheeks in her hands..Crona's face is becoming so red as she leans closer.
"You are the only one that can break whatever lock I have on my heart..You're the only one I want to talk to about these things." She leans her head against his, closing her eyes. "With out you..I don't know what I would have done.."
She opens her eyes.
Crona's looking at her with such big eyes..his face so red and is mouth agape.
"You help me so much..Just you being here listening to me is all I need Crona."
The boy's mouth opens and closes..It kind of reminds Maka of a fish...A cute fish of course.
and despite all that has happen..Maka finds herself giggling.
Crona tenses, his face becoming a darker red.
"Aw cat got your tongue?" She smirks.
His whole face becomes pale.
"W-What? A c-cat?" He sticks out his small tongue trying looking at it. "P-Please get it off! I don't know how to deal with c-cats!"
Maka blinks.
She can't help it.
She cracks up.
"M-Maka p-please! What if it mistakes my mouth for a b-bathroom!" He looks so scared but Maka can't stop laughing.
"No Crona!" She grabs his hand, still laughing. "It's just a figure of speech...there's not really a cat on your tongue, it's just another way of saying something has made you speechless."
"O-Oh.." He visibly relaxes and puts a small hand to his chest. "T-That's so weird..w-why not just ask w-why there speechless o-other then asking.." He gulps. "I-if a cat has y-your tongue.."
"I don't know." She shrugs. "It is kinda odd huh? I never really thought about it till now."
"..." He looks at her a moment before sticking out his tongue..Maka watches as he tries to look at it but he can't..
Maka's breath hitches..
He just crossed his eyes..
That was to adorable.
"M-Maka are you s-sure there isn't a cat?" He wines.
"..T-There isn't a cat." Maka blushes looking at his cute little tongue.
Damn it is everything cute about this boy?
"O-Ok..I trust you.." He sticks his tongue back in and lets out a sigh of relief.
"You don't like cats huh?" Maka gives him amused smile.
"N-No..M-Medusa had a lot of them at home.." His gaze shifts. "T-They use to steal my food..and t-they make scarey noises."
"Yeah cats piss me off." Maka smiles. "I'm more of a dog person..There so loyal and they know that there the pet and you're the owner while cats are just ass holes and do whatever the hell they want."
"D-Dogs are scarey too though.." He tightens the grip on his legs. "T-They have sharp teeth and t-they bark.."
"Yeah they can be scarey.." Maka gives him a reassuring smile when Crona looks at her. "But if you earn the trust of one, there loyal to you and will protect you. Cats would never do that."
"E-Earn the trust..?" He tilts his head. "D-Dogs can trust..?"
"Well yeah, at least I think so." She shrugs.
"Hmm.." He hums in thought and tilts his head again..
Everything this boy does is so cute.
"..I'm sorry crona, I wasn't able to bring you anything today." Maka averts her gaze..
She really wanted to make him something but..
There's nothing at her house to make.
"O-Oh no that's fine Maka!" He suddenly hops up surprising her. He looks so excited. "Y-You just reminded me!"
"Huh?" Maka watches as the boy walks past her..walking clumsily like he always does.
Her face gets hot when her eyes fall on his back side..His hips sway way to much for a boy..
But again she likes it.
She watches the boy with curiosity as he walks over to his bed..His hands slightly shaking as he grabs something that was resting on it.
"I-I made you something.." He turns to face her..A bowl in his hands. It shakes and his face is so red, his gaze anywhere but her.
"Really?" Maka stands up and walks over to him, raising an eye brow. "How?"
"W-Well..h-here at the asylum they g-give us a choice once and a while to d-do activities..." His frail body is shaking so bad. "I-I usually don't do t-them because I-it's to much to deal with b-but..I-I wanted to make you s-something nice because y-you always make me stuff..s-so I attended h-home e-Ech and m-made you pudding.."
His head is bowed trying to hide that killer blush but Maka sees it and..
Shes blushing too..
Crona made her something?..Doing something that usually scares him for her?..
It's to cute..it's to nice.
"Thank you so much Crona." Maka smiles and it almost hurts her as she walks over and takes the bowl from the boy.
"T-There's a spoon inside for you.." His feet shift as he glances at her to the floor. "T-Tell me if you like it..I-it took a-awhile to make.."
"Ok." Maka smiles as she takes the spoon, scoops up some brown pudding, and shoves it into her mouth happily.
It taste disgusting..like she just took a scoop of puke and shoved that into her mouth.
If this was anyone else she would have spit it out in there faces and told them how disgusting it was but..
This is Crona..So she swallows it.
Then she takes another bite of this..pudding.
And she swallows it.
By pure will power she keeps her face from wrinkling up in the disgust and keeps the smile on her face.
Crona's face is priceless..
He stares at her with his mouth open, his eyes sparking and with every new bite she takes out of his pudding his lips turn into a smile..and it keeps growing and growing.
She eats the whole thing..The whole damn thing and she feels sick but at looking at Crona and how happy he looks..
Hell she would eat another bowl of it.
"Y-You liked it?" Crona's eyes are sparkling
"..That was the best pudding I ever had." Maka smiles at him..She's a natural at forced smiles.
"Y-Yes!" Crona actually jumps a little off the ground, doing a little cheer.
He tenses when he sees Maka looking at him with a smile on her face, causing his face to become an impossible shade of red as he looks away from her.
"S-Sorry! I-I'm just so happy y-you liked it! I-I didn't know if you would.." Crona fiddles with his fingers nervously.
"It's fine." She giggles. "I liked that little cheer you did."
"..Y-You did?.." Crona's blush darkens
Maka nods.
"It was cute."
"C-Cute?" He squeaks and loses his footing tumbling back, he falls against his bed, his face so red.
Maka can't help but to laugh.
It dies on her lips after she's just realized something..something she should have noticed a lot sooner.
There the only ones in his room..There are no nurses.
Maka raises an eye brow as she looks around the room..
Medusa was just in here..So wouldn't there have been nurses when she was here?..
"Are y-you afraid?"
Maka turns to look at Crona to find he's right in front of her, the boy gripping his arm with a sad look on his face.
"A-Are you afraid to be here alone with me?.."
"No." Maka shakes her head and gives him a smile. "I actually like it..I hate being watched by all those nurses."
"M-Me too." He sighs in relief and puts a hand to his heart. "Your really n-not afraid to be alone with me?"
"Nope not at all." She shakes her head. "I like it."
"M-Maka I.." He takes a step forward..not noticing the bowl she had just placed on the floor..She has a habit of that.
The already clumsy boy trips over it..falling right on top of Maka.
The boy is small but he's heavy, she falls down from his weight.
She hits her head kind of hard against the floor but..
She's frozen.
It's not the fact that this boy's small body is pressed against hers but..
His lips are against hers.
He's kissing her.
There lips had clashed when he tripped.
Maka's whole being is warmed..the breath being taken from her.
Crona pulls away but..
Maka can't move.
"M-M-Maka I-I-I'm so sorry!" He looks down at her, his face so pale, his body shaking so bad. He's so scared his teeth are chattering. "I-I didn't m-mean to! p-please don't be mad! I didn't see the b-bowl and then I-
Maka grabs the boy by his face and pulls him back down, pushing her lips back against his.
Crona's breath hitches and he tenses but..he doesn't pull away.
She couldn't hold that back..
The feel of his lips are to nice..
There dry yet..so soft.
Her heart is beating so fast..and she can feels Crona's heart beat against her chest..
Somehow it's beating faster then hers.
She's never kissed before..So this is her first. She doesn't really know what to do so she just keeps her lips pressed agaisnt his..
It's more of a long peck..There's no movement.
There both frozen.
Maka pulls away to look Crona in his eyes.
His eyes are so wide..his face so red as he looks down at her with his eyes full of confusion, and..happiness?
"M-Maka.." His voice is breathless..she had taken it away. "W-What was t-that?..T-That you just did?"
"That was a kiss." She sounds almost as breathless and it's a little embarrassing. She's frozen under him..feeling the small body against hers.
"A k-kiss?..W-Why..w-what does it mean?" He's trembling, but that happiness is still shining threw those eyes.
"A kiss is something you give someone you like.." She gives him a smile, just adoring this boy that's above her..His eyes..His cute face..Those lips. " You give it to someone you think is special..someone you think is cute."
"Y-You..!" He takes deep breaths as if that knocked the wind out of him. His face is so red..He almost looks like he's about to past out. "Y-You think I'm..c-cute?"
"Yes, you are to adorable." Maka pitches his cheek , feeling how hot he is. "Sometimes I think I'm going to explode from all the cuteness."
"G-Gah!" He jumps off of her, his eyes wide with panic and he grips his hair. "M-Maka please don't explode! I-I'll stop what ever I'm doing! I don't want to lose you!"
"Crona-
"I'm n-not cute see?" Crona tries to do..a weird face Maka guesses but really..he just made him self look like a pug..and she thinks that's adorable. "P-Please don't explode!"
"Crona!" Maka giggles sitting up. "I'm not going to actually explode..it's just another figure of just meant that your soo adorable, the cutest person I've ever meant."
"..I-I don't like figures of speeches.." He mumbles and crosses his arms ,pouting. "T-Their scarey and make you think it's really bad when-
His breath hitches his eyes becoming wide.
"W-Wait did you just say I'm the..?"
"Cutest person I've ever meant, yes." Maka trys to get up but there's a sharp pain in the back of her head that causes her to fall back down and grab it.
"M-Maka!" Crona's by her side in seconds looking her over in concern a frown on his face. "W-What's wrong are you hurt?" His frown deepens. "D-Did I hurt you?"
"No i'm find." She looks him in the eyes and gives him a smile. " I promise, just a head ache."
"..." Crona's eyes fall on her lips, she catches it before he looks away, a dark blush on his face. "..W-Why did you say you give people k-kisses again?"
"If you like them, or you think there special, or you think there cute." She raises an eye brow at how much he's shifting.
"O-Oh.." His blush deepens as he keeps glanceing at her from the corner of his eyes. "..C-Could I..? Maybe..k-kiss you?.Y-Your all those things to m-me Maka..and I want.." He trails off, his body shaking so bad.
"I want it too." She cups his cheeks in her hands before she leans in, pushing her lips against his.
again..It's like a frozen kiss but..it's a kiss.
Her whole body warms again..and she can feel his do the same.
His face feels hot..his lips feel so soft.
Maka doesn't want to but she pulls away..she wants to look in those eyes.
Crona looks back at her..his eyes are half lidded, his face so red.
She probably looks the same.
"..I-I change my mind.." He suddenly backs away from her, averting his gaze. "T-There's no way your real..this feeling you give me..I'm so warm..and your lips feel so good..T-This is to good to be true..y-you can't be real..n-nothing good happens to me.."
"But I am real." Maka gets closer to him, he moves back from her till his back is touching the wall. His blush is still really bad. "And that feeling you have..I'm feeling the same thing.."
She puts a hand to her heart.
"H-How..? W-Why..?" His eyes shake and he averts his gaze. "Y-Your to nice to be real..This feeling is to good to b-be real.."
"Im not nice remember?" She grabs him gently by the chin, turning his head towards her. "I'm doing this because I want to..because I like you. I'm real Crona I-
The boy leans in and kisses her..It's a ghost of a kiss but..it warms her being.
"I-I'm so sorry..I-I..just.." He's trembling again his face so red. "I-I don't understand this feeling Maka..I-it's to much to bare but..I-I like it..and y-your causing it."
"Crona.." Her face is hot and she can't respond properly.
"It's 6:30 people..time to leave." The intercom sounds.
Maka and Crona stare at each other for a moment..Both looking deep into each others eyes.
"..." Maka forces herself up.
Crona grabs her wrist stopping her.
She looks down surprised by the action..The boy is looking up at her with such sadness in his eyes.
"D-Do you really have to go..?" He trembles holding on to her wrist..looking up at her with those puppy dog eyes. "C-Can you stay?.."
"I wish I could Crona." She smiles sadly at him. "I would love just to stay with you.."
"I-I don't want you to go.." His eyes get watery. "I-I'm so sad every time you go..and I-I can't stop thinking about you.."
"Same here." She leans down and gives him a hug. Crona's breath hitches but she holds on to him firmly. "..Don't worry i'll be back before you know it..maybe I'll bring you something new to eat huh?"
"..B-back before I know it isn't soon enough.." He mumbles but when Maka pulls away from him he lets go of her wrist.
"I know." She smiles a little..even when he's pouting he's cute. "But don't worry..just remember I'm coming back, and were going to have an awesome time."
Maka walks over to the door, with Crona following her gripping his arm.
"D-Do you think w-we could..d-do that thing again sometime..?" His face is so dark when Maka turns to look at him. "I-I mean we don't have to I just-
"It's ok." Maka giggles and gives him a wink.
The boy looks like he almost dropped dead.
"We will definably do that some more..in fact.." She pulls him close, and gives him a quick little peck on the lips. "..There a good bye kiss."
Crona is frozen just staring at her in awe.
"Bye Crona." Maka smiles." See you Thursday."
He blinks but his face is still so red.
"S-See you Thursday!" His smile is so big..his face so bright. "I-I'll be waiting for you!"
"Good.."
God she doesn't want to leave..especially after kissing this boy..
He's addicting.
"Bye Crona." She opens the door.
"b-bye Maka.."
She walks out and shuts the door behind her.
"I thought you never were going to come out." The male nurse from before grumbles as he walks over to the door and locks it.
"I didn't want to." She shrugs and starts to walk away.
"You know it's rude to slam doors in people's faces." The man grumbles as he follows her.
"I know." She looks over at him. "I'm a rude person."
Maka can see the vein starting to form on his head and she smirks.
"I'm not walking you out of here, you can do that your self." He grumbles as he stops by the elevator.
"Your right I can." She smirks as she clicks a button. "..Thanks for taking me to Crona..I appreciate it."
"..." The man looks at her a moment before averting his gaze. "..whatever."
The doors open and she walks in.
She smirks and right when the doors are about to close she gives him the middle finger.
The man grins sharply and he returns it right back as the doors close. "Yeah fuck you too girl."
She chuckles as the elevator goes down..
The middle finger is like a hand shake for the two.
Maka remembers Crona's lips being pressed against hers and her mind goes a blank.
She had kissed Crona..
She kissed..
Crona..
Her heart skips a beat and she feels dizzy.
Today...was so crazy..even for being at a insane asylum.
Everything's crazy but despite this..she feels giddy.
She kissed Crona..her fascination was her first kiss.
And she wouldn't have it any other way.
