It's Thursday.
But she isn't at the asylum.
It's morning.
But she isn't in bed.
Maka sits on a old, wooden, uncomfortable chair..staring at the box in front of her...
Staring at the coffin that is holding her beautiful mother's body..
She doesn't feel anything.
She is broken.
How can you break something more if it's already destroyed?
Her mother is dead..Her mother is in a box..
Maka is broken.
"We are here today for Kami Albarn, a amazing woman, a amazing friend to many.." A priest dressed in black stands next to the box, his face is hard and old, he grips a bible to his chest. His eyes are glossy. "This is not a time to be sad my friends..Kami is in a better place now, she is with our lord and god looking down at us from heaven above...This is a time for celebrating her new life."
This isn't a time for celebrating.
Her mother is dead.
This is a time for mourning..
But Maka can't even do that.
She is broken.
At a funeral you wear all black..That is why she is wearing this black dress..Why the priest who usually dresses in white is now dressed in black..
How can sure a dreary color be a color of celebrating?
It's not.
Black is the color of darkness, of death.
She doesn't want her mother in heaven, she wants her here.
And she is here...
She's right in that box.
Dead and lifeless.
There is nothing to celebrate.
The priest continues to speak words of hopefulness, and encouragement but Maka isn't listening.
Her mother is dead.
She feels Kid's grip on her hand tighten..He rubs his thumb against it gently..The boy sits next to her, looking at her with such concern..
The mayor sits on her right, the bubbly man isn't so bubbly now.
He has a serious look on his face..
Maka's face is just blank.
Kid handles her with such care..but doesn't he know she's already broke?
There's no helping her.
Her mother is dead.
Maka stares at the box..It's not pretty, it looks like these chairs, wooden and old.
Spirit didn't have enough money for a better one.
Her mother will get splinters..but then again she guess it doesn't matter..
She's dead.
The box won't hold out long..She can see some small cracks in it now..The bugs will easily get in..the worms, and maggots will be in there by tomorrow.
They will eat her mother..Her mother will be a meal for worms.
It's a horror..She would scream but she's done all the screaming she will do.
She has already broken.
She can't break any more.
Maka watches as four men in black come over and lift up the box..The box with her beautiful mother..all pale and lifeless.
Kid hugs her close when they have to stand up to gather around the hole in the ground..to watch them lower the box..lower her mother in the dirt..where the worms are..
The boy is crying..silent tears falling down as he holds her so close..
But Maka isn't crying, she isn't hugging him back.
She is just staring..unblinking.
She is broken.
Kid's father stands close by her, looking down the whole with a sadness in his eyes...He puts a hand on her shoulder and gives her a squeeze.
Spirit stands away from her..looking down the hole with tears streaming down face.
He looks ugly with his black eye and bandaged nose..
Maka had did that.
Her eyes look down to her left hand..It's wrapped up.
She had hurt herself hurting him.
Maka doesn't remember much when she broke..
She broke when Stein told her that her beautiful mother was dead..
Everything seemed to shut down around her..
A white nose crowded her ears..and she could hear someone screaming..
Wait..No..It was her who was screaming..
She blanked out a couple times but she knows she had a mental break down.
Maka remembers throwing stuff across the house, crying and screaming like some one was killing her.
She wishes some one was.
Spirit had tried to calm her down..and he grabbed her.
Maka punched him in the face, breaking his nose.
Stein had to get her off him..
Then she broke.
She just shut down.
Her mother is dead.
The box touches the bottom of the hole..The men begin to throw the dirt over it..over her mother..
Kid holds her tighter, Spirit wails, Kid's father bows his head.
Maka just watches.
There's only five people at her mother's funeral..that's counting the priest.
Where's all there family?..Where is her mothers friends? or all the people she saved?
There not here, they don't care.
They don't care about an insane woman.
Maka watches with blank eyes as the last pile of dirt falls in the hole..burying the box, burying her mother.
"..Now is the time for anyone to come up and say something about Kami..Give her your farewell.." The priest looks at the four people standing by where the box is buried.
" I'll go first." Spirit takes a deep breath..snot running down his nose as he stands in front of them, his blue eyes shaking.
Maka just stares at him..not feeling anything.
Kid holds her closer..His hands going through her hair..
Her hair is down, it's not in pigtails.
She isn't Maka Albarn.
She is broken.
"Kami was a great woman..She was my love, my life." Spirit sniffles. "..Oh god I wish it didn't turn out like this...She was the first girl I'd taken out.." He looks down at where she's buried. "..Kami, if you can hear me..I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...there's nothing I can say that would change what I have done..." His tears fall faster. "..Peace be with you Kami..Why did it have to..Why did you have to.."
Spirit bust out crying, him wailing like a hurt dog.
He holds his face in his hands as he walks back down and sits on one of the old wooden seats.
Kid's father walks over to comfort him.
Maka just stares at whre her mother is buried...
It's over.
"Do you have anything to say about your mother Maka?" The preist looks at her hopefully.
Maka just stares at him.
She has nothing to say, she can't say anything.
She's broke.
Maka hasn't spoken a word since Sunday...She hasn't been in school..She has just been in bed, staring up at the ceiling.
Kid has been with her all these days..He hasn't gone to school either, he's just been with her.
He has been feeding her..because she won't eat on her own.
He has been leading her..because she won't walk on her own.
He has been speaking for her..because she won't talk.
She is broken...but Kid holds on to her like she isn't.
He is trying to save something that is already broke.
It's all in vain.
"Maka can't handle that right now." Kid speaks for her, his eyes shake as he holds her close.
"..Ok..Does any one have any last words on Kami?" The priest looks around.
No one answers.
"..May the lord god bless you all..May you leave here with happiness knowing that Kami is in a better place..You all are dismissed." The priest grips his bible as he walks away...The four men following him.
Maka just keeps staring at were her mother is buried.
"..Baby.." Spirit walks over towards her, tears still falling down his face. "..I'm going back to the house..are you coming?"
She doesn't respond.
"Oh Maka...I..." He wails hiding his face from her.
"Could you please leave Spirit...Maka doesn't need this right now." Kid gets in front of her protectively. "..I have Maka..Don't worry, I'll bring her home later."
"Ok..Thank you so much Kid, you have been a saint.." Spirit keeps crying.
"I'll take you home Spirit, your in no condition to drive." The mayor looks at him seriously, grabbing him by the arm, slowly leading the wailing man away.
"Maka...Oh Maka I'm so sorry." Kid runs his hands threw her hair, his shoulders are shaking slightly. "..I don't know why this has happened to you..Oh god..just..." He pulls her closer his breathing is uneven. "..She was a great woman your mother was Maka...i'm so sorry."
Maka doesn't respond.
"It's ok to cry Maka..It's ok to be sad.." He pulls away looking Maka in her blank eyes..His eyes get glossy. "..Maka please..you must speak..Please just..say one word for me ok?..Please Maka.."
She doesn't respond. She just stares at him.
"Everything is going to be ok..Everything is going to be ok.." He whispers..tears starting to fall from his golden orbs. "..Oh god Maka..I can't..I'm..I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry..This..This is.."
He wheezes..holding her so tight.
He has nothing to be sorry for.
He shouldn't be holding her with such care.
She is broken.
She isn't Maka Albarn.
That girl is broken.
There's nothing left.
Maka Albarn died when her mother did.
"..I know what I'm going to do.." He turns and starts to lead her away...away from her mother.
Maka just follows him.
A broken puppet with out a will of her own.
"Everything is going to be ok Maka..Your going to be ok.." His voice cracks as he leads her to where he parked his car.
He opens the passengers door before he picks her up bridal style. He gently sits her down in the seat before he buckles her seat belt.
"It's ok Maka..Everything is going to be ok..I'm going to take you to Crona..remember Crona?..Remember him Maka? He makes you feel better right?..Right Maka?"
She doesn't respond.
"..I'm taking you to Crona.." His golden orbs flash as he closes the car door, he walks over to the drivers side, and gets in.
"He's going to help you Maka..Your going to be ok..It's going to be alright.." Kid keeps talking to himself as he pulls out of the parking space. "..I can't help you..I've tried everything just to get you to speak but I.."
His voice cracks again.
"...He's going to help you..It's going to be ok..your going to be ok Maka.." He reaches over and puts a hand over hers, holding it tightly as he drives with one hand.
Maka just stares forward.
She doesn't respond to him.
She doesn't move
She is broken.
Her mother is dead.
Nothing will ever be ok.
She has lost everything.
"Here we are Maka..See it's the asylum..Crona is here..Everything is going to be ok.." Kid gets out of the car.
Maka turns her head to look at Dark Side asylum..
She doesn't feel anything.
Kid opens her door, and unbuckles her..
Maka gets out herself.
The boy's light up in hope and he looks at her..waiting for her to do something else.
She doesn't move.
He frowns slightly but grabs her wrist, leading her into the building.
Maka just lets him.
She feels nothing.
"Oh my.." The brown haired lady at the front covers her mouth at seeing the two..Her eyes aren't hard as they usually are. "..You..You came back here today?..of all days?"
Stein stands next to the desk looking at the two approaching with a blank expression.
" Maka needs to see Crona." Kid straightens himself up looking Stein in the eyes..Daring him to say no.
"I know." Stein looks at Maka..studying her blank expression. "..I already filled out the book for her, you can leave her with me Kid, I'll take care of her now."
"..Thank you.." The boy lets out a sigh of relief as he smiles over at Maka. "..See?..Your going to see Crona.. Maka..aren't you happy?.."
She doesn't respond.
"Come here Maka, i'll take you to him." Stein holds out his hand, looking at her blankly but..his eyes are soft.
She just stares at his hand.
Kid's eyes are shaking..She can tell he's worried because she isn't responding to this.
Maka walks forward..
But she passes Stein and stops by the elevator.
"..I'll be back to pick you up ok Maka?.." Kid watches her with his shaky, swollen eyes.
She doesn't respond.
"I have her Kid." Stein glances over at him. "Get some rest..you have earned it."
The boy looks at Maka..His shoulders slumping before he nods his head and leaves..
His head is bowed.
Stein walks over and pushes the button.
They both get in.
They don't speak.
Maka can't.
And Stein won't.
There is nothing to be said.
Her mother is dead.
The elevator opens and they go out.
They walk side by side..Maka walks with her arms hanging down..Her blank eyes staring straight but there not really looking at anything.
Stein is looking at her, he's studying her...calculating.
He thinks she should be here.
And maybe she should.
It doesn't matter..
She is broken.
"Kid, oh my god kid you're here I-
Girkio is cut off by Stein's arm when he tried to run towards her.
Stein just glances at Maka then back at the man.
Girkio's breath hitches as his eyes take her in.
Maka just stares back at him...not moving.
The man reaches out a hand, but Stein stops him, shaking his head as he starts to lead Maka towards Crona's door.
"..kid.." His voice sounds odd for the brute..It's to soft..It's almost a whisper as he still reaches out for her as she just walks away.
She doesn't respond.
Stein leads her till there standing in front of Crona's door, he looks over at her to see if anything has changed in the girl.
She stares at it blankly.
"..." Stein gets out his keys and unlocks the doors, he pushes it open and looks at Maka.
She stares at it a moment before she walks in, Stein right behind her.
"M-Maka!" She hears Crona's voice, but she doesn't see him because she's staring forward. He sounds happy..He said her name in a cheer. "Y-Your here! I-I was getting w-worried y-you weren't going to come!..O-Of I knew you would..y-your not a liar..y-your amazing but I-
Maka slowly turns her head to look at him.
Crona's breath hitches once he looks her in the eyes.
His shake..His smile instantly falling to a frown.
"Maka?"
She doesn't respond.
"Maka? M-Maka?..W-What's wrong?..W-Why aren't you talking?..M-Maka?" His face pales, his blue eyes shining with so much concern for her.
By his concern..by looking into his eyes..she feels something.
Maka's knees buckle causing her to fall.
"M-Maka!" Crona is up from the corner in seconds, he runs to her and catches her before she hits the ground.
She doesn't try to help him or her self.
The small boy struggles with her weight, his legs shaking slightly as he tries to keep her on her feet but she keeps tilting over.
"M-Maka what's wrong?!" The boy's breathing is uneven as he gently places her down on the floor, holding her head up with his arm..
He's trembling as he looks at her with concern, his eyes are shaking.
Maka doesn't respond, she just stays still in his arms.
"M-Maka please..p-please say something!" He's begging her she can hear it in his voice...He grips her shirt lightly.
"..C-C-Crona.." She's able to speak..Maybe it was just his name..and it came out as a croak.
But that is the first thing she has said in days.
She reaches out a shaky hand..Wanting to touch his face..wanting to feel him.
He grabs her hand..His hand is as shaky as hers and they shake together.
"M-Maka what's wrong?..W-Why are you acting like this?..W-What happened?..A-Are you ok?" His voice trembles..as he tightens his grip lightly on her hand.
Maka Albarn is restored.
She feels again..
But it hurts.
Everything hurts.
There is no good feeling.
Her eyes begin to water, she sniffles a couple of times before she throws her self at Crona, Wrapping her arms around him and burying her head in his chest.
She cries..She cries so hard.
Her heart is put back together by this boy..Only for it to break again.
It hurts so much..she doesn't want to feel but she does.
Her mother is dead.
She wails..Her cry isn't silent it's loud..
It feels like she's crying out glass..It hurts her chest..
Crona's gown is getting soaked but he doesn't seem to care.
He wraps his arms around her, frowning deeply..His eyes still holding that deep concern for her..his eyes are starting to get watery.
"M-Maka what's wrong?! W-Why are you crying?..M-Maka please..T-Tell me..I-I don't like seeing you like this..M-Maka please what's wrong?.."
"My mother is dead!" She screams into his chest, the words are like glass cutting her being. She chokes a little just to continue to wail, she grips his gown tightly. "My mom is dead Crona! She's dead! She's dead!"
"W-W-W-What?" Crona's whole face pales, the boy tightens his grip around her..This being the firmest he's ever held her before. "H-How? You s-said the doctors said she was getting b-better! Y-You said she was going to wake up s-soon..H-How can she be dead?"
"I don't know!" She screams into his chest again...It's to painful. "T-They..T-They don't know what happened...b-but she's gone Crona..S-Shes dead!..They fucking buried her today..S-She's in the ground right now..S-She's dead..Oh my god she's dead.."
"N-No...N-No.." He trembles against her..Tears starting to fall down his face, his cheeks flushed as he bows his head. "..O-Oh Maka..W-Why did something like this have to happen to you? Y-You don't deserve anything bad!..I-I'm so sorry..T-This.." His tears fall on the top of her head..The tears he is shedding for her. " I-I don't know what to do, or to s-say to make this better Maka..I-I want this to be better, I don't w-want you to be sad..I-I don't w-want your mother to be dead..M-Maka.."
"Crona I n-need you!" She cries into his chest. "..P-please just hold me..just..I.."
"O-Of course Maka..I-I'll never let you go if y-you don't want me too.." He sniffles, his small arms bring her closer, holding her head against his chest.
"My mom..she's dead!" The tears keep falling...Her broken heart is being put back together by her speaking..by her being held but it hurts like hell. "..After all those years.." Her shoulders shake so bad. "You know I always believed my mother would get better..That she would come out of the asylum one day and everything would go back to normal..We would spend all are time together..and we would go to the park together..but.. she's.."
Maka howls..Howls like a animal.
She howls for her lost.
The lost of her mother.
"I-I thought she was going to come back..but after two years she just k-kept getting worse and worse...I-I didn't know what to do..what to think.." Maka takes deep breaths and it's painful. "..But now she's dead..I'll never see her again..she's gone..I'll never hold her again..never see her face again.."
She clings to Crona..She needs him.
He is what is holding her together.
He is filling the gap of the broken pieces.
"I didn't even g-get to say good bye Crona!" She cries taking gasps of breath.
it hurts to much..
"M-Maka..." His tears are falling on her..He's crying for her..Weeping with her..
She knows he feels her pain..He knows maybe not what it feels to lose a mother..
But he knows how it feels to not have one.
He holds her..She feels his concern..His care..
This causes her to cry more..She's crying it all out..soaking the poor boy but she can't stop.
"I miss her so much Crona...I miss her so much.." She keeps crying but it doesn't sound like she's choking anymore. "..What did my mother do to deserve this?...Why is fate so cruel? What have I done?..What have we done to deserve this? My mother is taken from me..Fate has taken everything from me.."
"F-Fate hasn't taken you away Maka." His voice is husky from crying. "Y-Your still alive..Y-Your still here...I-I don't know why this has happen to you.. but p-please don't give up Maka..p-please.."
He's trembling so much.
"I-I need you Maka..I-if you give up...I-I'll be alone...I-if you give up..I-I'll have nothing." He clings to her..
He knows she's close to giving up..
He must be able to feel it and he's getting desperate.
But she can't give up now..
Crona has brought her back to life.
"I need you too!" She grips him so tightly..so needingly. "I-I'm not going anywhere Crona..I need you..I need you to get threw this.."
"M-Maka.." He lightly touches her cheek..He wipes her tears away, barely brushing her skin. "I-I'm so sorry..I-I wish I could fix this..I-I wish I could do something but..I-I'm useless Maka..I-I failed you again..I-I wanted to protect you f-from being hurt but..l-look what happen..I-I can't do anything.."
"No." She grabs his hand, pushing it against her hot cheek as she looks up at him, her tears are still falling down her face as his are. They lock eyes..They both shake. "Crona your helping me so much right now..Just by you caring..Just by you holding me..You know I haven't talked at all in days till now?..You got me back Crona..I lost myself and you brought me back..Don't ever say you can't do anything because you do so much for me.."
Crona's eyes get wide, his breath hitching as she leans her forehead against his. There uneven breath's mingling.
"I lean on you Crona..and I'm sorry that you have to deal with me..Have to deal with all my problems I-
"D-Don't say that Maka." His expression falls to a pout..but his eyes are firm. "I-I like being with you..I-I like helping you..w-whenever you have a p-problem..o-or whenever your sad..I-it's like it's my own problem..o-or my own s-sadness because I-I feel it here.." He puts a hand over his heart. "..A-And this hurts me so much..b-because I see how much you are h-hurt..and I-I don't like it..I-I don't want t-this..I-I wish I could..j-just take this away from you..I-I wish I had the power to give you your mother..I-I wish I could always be there f-for you but.."
He frowns deeply bowing his head.
"..I-I'm stuck here...I-I don't have any power to help you..b-but all I can d-do is hold you..h-hold you and w-wish that this wasn't happening but it is and I-I'm powerless."
"Just you holding me is enough." She lifts his chin up with her hand, her eyes lock onto his swollen ones.
She needs something.
She needs good feelings.
Maka pulls him into a kiss..It's needy..and she clings to him.
Crona's face heats up but..he slowly kisses back..his kisses are just as needy.
They need each other..
She knows they do.
Maka wraps her arms around his neck as she continues to lightly tug at his bottom lip..She lets his warmth flow threw her..
It acts as a numbing agent..All the rips and tears she has in her heart are numbed..and they don't hurt as much.
She doesn't want to think about her dead mother..
She just wants to think about Crona..Just feel nothing but Crona..
Maybe she is using him to deal with what has happen with her mother..but she needs him.
She needs this.
Maka hiccups breaking the kiss..She can't stop crying.
Crona stares at her with those eyes..His face flushed before he leans in slowly.
He kisses her cheek..kisses where they are soaked by her tears.
His lips are so soft, it causes her breath to hitch and her cheeks to get redder.
"I don't like the tears Maka.." He speaks against her cheek. "I-I don't like when your sad..I-I tried to k-kiss it away but..m-more keeps coming.."
And it does, her tears continue to fall.
"M-Maka.." He gently wipes them with a shaky hand..tears starting to fall down his face again. "..T-They hurt Maka..T-They hurt me.."
"I-I'm sorry." She pulls him closer, clinging to him. "..Only you can make them stop Crona..No one else..I need you."
"Y-You have me." His eyes hold a seriousness in them that causes her breath to hitch. "I-I'll do anything for you Maka."
"Then kiss me." She locks eyes with him.
The boy's face gets red as his eyes fall to her lips..He licks his with his small tongue before he closes his eyes and leans in.
His shaky hands rest at her shoulders as he kisses her slowly..His body is trembling and she can feel how hot he is.
Maka kisses him back eagerly..Letting herself feel nothing but him.
Her tears slowly start to cease..She puts a hand against his chest feeling how fast his heart is beating.
It's beating so fast because of her.
It beats for her.
She pulls away from him..seeing how flushed his face is..and his swollen lips brings a small smile to her face..Her first smile in days.
"See?" She puts one of his hands on her cheeks holding it there. "..All dry..No more tears..You did that."
"I-I did I-it?" He moves his fingers across her cheek looking at her with awe, his cheeks tinted. "I-I stopped your c-crying?"
"and I stopped yours." She touches his face..His cheeks are dry, his tears have stopped.
"..Y-You always stop my tears..J-Just by me thinking about you.." He smiles at her..such a cute smile. "..I-I use to cry a lot b-before you came at night..b-but now whenever I have a b-bad dream..I j-just think of you..a-and I feel warm and s-safe...I-I can't help but to smile.."
He blushes deeply and looks away..He moves his shoulders slightly.
"I-it's strange what you d-do to me Maka...I-I'll never understand..and u-usually things I don't understand s-scare me but..this I-isn't scary." He glances at her only to look away, his blush darkens. "..T-This is w-wonderful."
"Your wonderful Crona." She pokes his nose and he squeaks. "..The same thing you feel, I feel when I think about you..You take all the bad away from me..You make me forget my troubles." She gets closer to him, her breath dancing on his lips. "Your like my own little get away."
"Y-You're my get away from t-this place..s-some times when I'm with you..I-I forget that I'm a m-mess..t-that I'm a patient in a insane asylum..A-All I can think about is you..t-that's all I can focus on..a-and I'm happy." He blushes so dark but he doesn't back away from her..His breath on her lips.
"I'm happy too..You make me happy"
She smiles at him..One last tear falling down her face..
She has gotten it all out.
"M-Maka.." Crona frowns and gets closer.
She just shakes her head.
"..." Crona moves closer till there noses are touching..He wiggles his nose against hers.
"Crona?" She blushes by how cute that is..Her heart speeding a little.
"Y-You said you l-liked that...I-I want to make you f-feel better." He looks at her seriously as he wiggles his nose again..
It's funny looking..and Maka can't help but to chuckle.
"I warned you about doing that to much.." She smirks as she leans closer, getting on her knees.
"O-Oh you did?" He blushes darkly as he moves back but Maka just grabs him causing him to squeak.
"Yes I did." She licks his bottom lip and the boy shivers in her grasps.
She can feel his breathing become uneven, and his body tense as she starts to bite his lip..
A whimper escapes his throat when she pulls away from him.
Maka can't help but to smirk at his state.
Crona stares at her lips with longing..His eyes half lidded, his lips red.
He wants more, she can see it in his eyes.
"You better not do that again or I'll have to attack you." She speaks against the boys lips and she can see him shiver from feeling her breath on him.
She likes playing this game with him.
"O-Oh?" He tilts his head back, exposing his small, slender neck. His voice is breathless, his face getting darker.
His lips twitch up into an excited smile as he wiggles his nose.
Maka smirks.
He asked for it.
Maka skips his lips and goes straight to his neck, nipping his sensitive skin with her teeth as she kisses up his neck.
The boy lets out a gasp, his whole body tensing as she wraps her arms around the small boy, kissing and licking his neck.
Crona trembles, a moan vibrating his throat as she bites down on him.
Maka pulls away..She's enjoying teasing him.
He looks at her with his eyes hazy now..There a little out of focus, his lips red.
She leans in to kiss him but she stops right before touching him and pulls away.
Crona follows her, biting his lip when another whimper comes out.
Maka's evil.
She feels like she's holding candy in front of a little kid but..it's fun.
She likes the reactions she's getting out of the boy.
He pouts when he sees Maka smirking at him.
"Sorry Crona but I-
He wiggles his nose..
He still has that power over her.
Maka leans in to kiss him..but the boy slowly pulls away..
He's using her own thing against her..The shy boy is teasing her.
But unlike Crona she knows how to fix this.
Crona's lips are twitched up into a smile that almost seems like a smirk..
He thinks he's gotten her back..
Oh he is wrong.
"I-I didn't m-mean to pull away Maka I m-must have-
Maka grabs a hold of him so he can't move as she sinks her teeth into his neck.
He moans as he grips her shirt. She can feel how hot he is.
"You think it's ok to tease me Crona?" She speaks against his neck as she kisses it, nipping his skin.
"N-No I-I didn't- Ah.." He leans his head back when she nipped a every sensitive spot..He pants.
"You didn't what?" She licks the front of his throat feeling his Adams apple move as he gulps.
"I-I didn't...Ah..I-I..Ooh...I-I can't r-really talk right while your-Ugh.." Crona pants, his face is darker then his hair.
Maka kisses harder on certain parts just to make it hard for him..She thinks it's so cute how frustrated he is getting.
"Come on Crona..You can do it.." She nibbles the skin on his collar bone as her hands begin to travel.
They start at his bare feet..slowly moving up his leg to stop at the front of his thighs.
"M-Maka!" He tenses, if even possible his body gets hotter, his eyes shake.
"Your talking fine now.." She stops kissing his collar bone to look at the boy's flushed face. "Do you not want me to touch you here?"
"I-it..I-I.." He looks away, his face so red. "..I-I don't know if that's a good idea.."
"Why?" She slowly starts to rub his thighs..going in a circle..There so small..One of his thighs is just a little bigger then her arm.
He is so tiny.
Crona's breath hitches.
"A-Ah Maka..I-I..I-it." He's so flustered..it's to cute.
"It what?" She squeezes his thigh a little tighter.
"..." He pants..His eyes getting out of forces as tries to hide how red his face is by covering it with his hands.
"Do you like this Crona?" She's surprised by how teasing her voice sounds as she rubs deeper into him.
"Y-Yes!" He yelps when she had squeezed his inter thigh, his breathing is so uneven, his eyes so hazy.
Maka smirks satisfied as she lets go of his legs to kiss him.
He meets her lips eagerly as he grips into her shirt, a hungry growl coming from the boy's throat.
Crona nibbles lightly at her lip..It's timid but she can feel the need in it, the desire in it.
She smirks into the kiss as she takes his hands off her shirt to place them on her waist.
He tenses but she holds his hands there, letting him know it's ok.
His body is so tense but she continues to kiss him.
She's drowning her pain in this boy's kisses, this boy's touch.
Her hands travel down his stomach stopping when she feels the bones of his hips.
"M-Maka..I-I'm to warm.." He moans into her mouth as he pulls away..His eyes are almost closed. "M-My head feels..f-fuzzy..a-and I..
Crona has this big goofy smile on his face.
It's to cute.
He's to cute.
She goes to kiss him again but the boy suddenly squeaks, his eyes wide with fear looking behind her.
Maka looks around confused.
Oh.
Stein sits on the bed staring at them with a blank expression, he holds a pen in his hand and it seems he's stopped writing.
Shit.
Crona trembles as he hides his face in Maka's shoulder.
Maka glares at the man..not happy with the way he's making Crona shiver in fear and the fact he was watching them.
"..Interesting.." Stein hums as he looks over at Maka. "..The boy effects you that much?.." He writes somehting down. "..I had no idea."
"Stop being a creeper." She growls and holds Crona close.
"I'm only doing my job, I am a scientist after all." His glasses glare. "I observe what's there and learn from it...I've learned a lot from the both of you today."
"You-
"It's 6:30 people time to leave." The intercom sounds.
"It's time for us to leave Maka." Stein stands up looking at her.
"A-Aw.." Crona pouts looking up at her from her shoulder. "..M-Maka..I-it's getting harder to let y-you go..I-I always want to be with you..I-it hurts when you leave."
"I know Crona..I don't want to leave..but I have to.." She nuzzles the top of his head lovingly. "..I can't wait for Saturday."
"M-Me either.." He blushes moving his head against her's with a small smile on his face. "T-This feeling is almost taking me over.."
"Come on, you two have had enough of this." Stein looks between them.
Maka sighs as she gets up..The boy follows her though.
"Bye Crona." She smiles sadly as she turns to leave.
"W-Wait!"
She turns to look at him.
He's fiddling with his fingers a deep blush on his face.
"C-Could I..C-Could I have a..u-um.." He takes a deep breath and looks away. "..A-A g-good b-bye kiss?"
"Of course." Maka smiles as she pulls the boy into her and gives him a kiss.
The boy whimpers when she pulls away..A pout on his face.
"Come on Maka." Stein sounds like he's getting irritated.
Crona glares at the man.
"Bye Crona." She walks out with the scientists..Crona follows them to the door then stops, watching her leave sadly.
"..B-Bye Maka.."
They walk out and Stein shuts the door behind them.
"You seem a lot better now." The doctor comments as they walk down the hallway together.
"..Crona helps me." She admits not looking at him.
"I see." He looks at her from the corner of his eye. "..You are getting that boy attached to you, you know this don't you?"
"Yes, but it doesn't matter." She pushes the button then they both get in the elevator when it comes up. "..I'm attached to him already."
"Why?" Stein pushes the down button. "What makes him so special to you?"
"...I don't know he's just.." She can't help the smile that comes to her face as she looks over at him. "..He's just Crona."
Stein looks at her blankly as the elevator doors open.
He doesn't say any more as they walk out into the lobby.
Kid and Girkio sit on the couch..They seem to be chatting eagerly about something..both of them look serious..maybe even worried.
"Maka!" Kid jumps up when he sees her, he searches her desperately for something.
"...Kid." She blinks looking at the boy who she hasn't talked to in days..even though he's been with her every day taking care of her.
"Maka! Your back!" He shouts for joy as he runs over and hugs her..He hugs her so tight. "..Crona did it..Your ok..Your speaking...I'm so relieved..your ok.."
"..I'm sorry about all the trouble I've caused you Kid I-
"shh." He pushes her face in his chest..His fingers stroking her hair. "Don't say sorry..I'm just glad your ok..that your speaking and moving and blinking..oh Maka I was so worried."
"Thank you for taking me here Kid..You might have just saved my mind." She sighs into his chest..She hugs him back lightly.
"..He really does help you.." He smiles sadly against the top of her head. "..I'm so glad."
Giriko just watches the two from the couch, a frown on his lips, a conflicted look on his face.
Kid doesn't let go of her, he just holds her in his arms.
"..kid.." Giriko stands up and walks towards the two, his hands in his pockets. "..Are you ok?"
"I'm fine." She looks at him...That gentleness he tries to hide is showing threw his hard eyes.
"Shit.." He looks away..he looks a little frustrated. "..Fuck kid..you just don't have good luck do you?"
"No." She smiles sadly at him. "..I guess not."
"Come Maka..i'm going to make you grilled cheese sandwiches, your favorite and we can watch Nightmare Before Christmas..I know you like that movie.." Kid grabs her hand and starts to lead her out of the asylum.
"Bye kid.." Giriko's voice is to soft.
Maka turns and gives him the middle finger.
The man blinks.
A smirk comes to his face as he returns it..
"..Yeah..fuck you too.."
"If you want I can get father to bake some more cookies and you can eat them before diner..Anything that you want Maka just tell me and I will get it for you." Kid is going on as he drags her towards his car.
"You don't have to Kid..You have already done to much." Maka looks at the back of the boy's head.
"I could never do to much for you Maka.." He stops and turns around on her.
He looks at her with an odd expression in his golden orbs as he pulls her into an embrace.
"..It's so nice to have you talking again I just..I'm so relieved I could.." His breathing is becoming uneven.
"..Kid are you alright?" Maka studies the boy's tinted cheeks..it's weird when he blushes.
"Yes, only because you are." He pulls her closer, stroking her hair.
Maka feels someone is watching her.
She looks over at the asylum..already having a idea who it is.
Crona looks down at them from his window but..he's glaring.
Not at her, but at Kid.
She can't see his expression to well but it's obvious he isn't happy.
"Hey Kid." Maka pulls away and looks at him. " I think Crona is jealous of you."
"Jealous of me?" He chuckles sadly. "..No..It's I who is jealous of him."
"Why?" Maka raises an eye brow.
He just shakes his head.
"..I think I want to go to school tomorrow.." Maka starts to walk towards the parking lot.
"..Are you sure?" Kid looks over at her in concern.
"Yeah, I need to make up all the work I missed." She takes a deep breath. "..and I think I should sleep home tonight."
"..Ok Maka." He nods still looking at her as they walk.
Maka feels someone is watching her but when she turns around..
Crona isn't watching anymore, the curtain is pulled.
She still has the feeling so she looks around all the windows but..there all pulled.
She can't find who it is that's watching her..
Maka just shrugs as Kid grabs her hand.
She looks down at it before looking at him...
Things just keep getting weirder and weirder..
But she would just go with the flow..
Because if she didn't she would go insane.
She would go mad.
Crona is what keeps her sane..Crona holds her together.
She needs the boy..and he needs her..
It's not fascination anymore..it has grown..
He has grown into a need.
He holds her fragile heart together..
He brought her back to life, he restored her.
Crona Gorgon is a need for Maka Albarn.
She knows this.
And she's not ashamed of it.
