Kid had to pull himself together. Yes Liz was gone. Or…stolen by that matter. By her…boyfriend. And yes, her necklace that kid had bought for her the day before was lying on the ground in the cottage, even though she had put it on before with his help and worn it during the day…wait one second. If she was wearing it during the day and now the necklace is here…
Death the kid had the most stricken yet, for a lack of better words, 'derpy', look on his face. How stupid was this guy? Unless it was his plan to make Kid search everywhere but the most obvious place.
Wait…a sound. A clicking noise?
Kid turned his head left and right but saw nothing. He decided to take off his shoes and try to carefully go about the place as quietly as he could.
The clicking stopped for the time being, and kid was feeling extremely uneasy. So far nobody was on the main floor…
"mmjhd mfhhsk KI- fnmfn mmmnfdh KII D!"
It sounded like a muffled voice trying to yell his name. Turning around as fast as he could Kid could make out two people moving up the staircase trying to reach the second level.
"AH-HA!" He yelled, running towards them and landing a perfect kick at the man's head…
Or so he thought.
If only the man, Liz's boyfriend as it seemed, hadn't moved at the last second causing Kid to miss and bang his leg into the wall.
"Dammit" Kid said quietly.
"KID!" Liz yelled happily while trying to pry away from her kidnapper. "LET ME GO JERK!" she screamed while kicking her ex-boyfriend in a very sensitive spot.
"URGH, LIZ YOU LITTLE TWAT!" he yelled back falling onto his knees.
By this point kid had made his way back up the stairs where Liz and her ex were. On the second level.
Kid stared down at the bent over man and gave him a disgusted look. "Do you think I'm some sort of idiot? This was your hiding place? How dare you kidnap Liz, and in a ladies restroom of all places…you make me sick."
Liz looked tearfully at Kid who was now standing in front of her, giving off a heroic aura. "Kid…you came for me. I was so scared!" She leaped towards him, giving him a tight hug and sobbing quietly into his shoulder.
"Liz…i…I missed you too…" He said quietly into her ear, while a rush of pink covered his face.
Suddenly, they heard some mumbling and a laugh. An obnoxiously loud laugh. Liz's ex-boyfriend?
"Um…why are you laughing?" Kid asked while staring down at the man.
"Honestly, when Lord Death first asked me to propose to Liz, I thought he was insane! I had already lost interest in her and knew she did as well, but he insisted I did so! And then she didn't answer, and he told me to come down here and kidnap her from you! Haha and now I see why! It honestly made me feel stupid to be so rude over the texts but you got so jealous, man! And when you started crying! Bwahahahhahhaha, I can't, I can't breathe!" Liz's ex continued laughing hysterically to the point where he almost fell down the stairs.
"And to think!" he continued on, "it was all caught on tape!"
I'm sure anyone could imagine the looks on Liz and Kid's faces. Kid had already sunk to the ground, embarrassed and once again, ready to give his father the most horrific lecture. And then there was Liz who was furious at her ex but also laughing on the inside, partly out of relief knowing everything was fine in the end.
"So that was what the clicking noise was…" Kid said quietly understanding now. He looked up and grabbed the ex's shirt. "Give me all the footage or die."
"WOAH THERE! I don't have it, it was all caught on the camera in the box that was delivered to this place from Lord Death. I think it's also some sort of special camera that doesn't keep the footage and sends it right to the screen its connected to, meaning I'm sure everyone has watched the footage already back home. Sort of like LIVE TV!"
Kid put his head down and smacked his face with his hand. "Of all the things symmetrical…"
"Kid that doesn't even make sense…" Liz thought laughing to herself.
A couple minutes later the two excused Liz's ex out the door and planned to just relax for the night after what was such an eventful day.
After closing the door, kid turned around to only be pushed towards the woman in front of him, their lips touching softly and her hands grabbing his neck.
When they broke, Liz looked at him and smiled. "Thanks for saving me."
"Ah, woah, um, haha, um, you're…you're welcome." Kid said out of shock and incredibly happy as well. "So...you i'm guessing you don't hate me anymore?"
"HATE YOU? Kid I Lo-" She coughed nervously and looked away for a second. "The opposite of hate, Kid. And um...you don't hate me either right?"
"Liz I searched eight hours for you and got a bit...slightly, emotional. I...to you...the opposite of hate...also." He felt so awkward with his words but Liz understood what he meant.
She started to walk away while smiling and then turned to look at him, who was stumbling to walk. "Aha, so is this where you fell to the ground and started crying Kid?"
He looked up at her, "I WAS NOT CRYING! IT'S CALLED GETTING SLIGHTLY EMOTIONAL! WHATEVER THAT MAN SAID WAS A LIE!"
"Uh huh, well you're blushing you know. And you've never been very good at lying when it comes to these things..."
"I AM NOT BLUSHING!" He said, feeling the what was obvious heat on his face spread.
"Well, I guess we will just have to watch the tape when we get back home tomorrow huh?" She said giggling.
"I don't think I'm ready to go back home for a while…" Kid mumbled to himself.
"Hmmm? What was that? I can't hear you over my CRYING" She said teasing him.
"Oh stop…besides I can't take you seriously with that crumb on your lip."
"Crumb?" Liz asked. How embarrassing! Why didn't anyone tell me I had food on my face!
"Yeah let me get it for you…"
That made it their second kiss. But this time it was real unlike the small one Liz had given him before. I suppose you could say the two had finally started to get along…and maybe they'd stay at the cottage a bit longer just to relax and avoid any embarrassment they'd receive from their friends back home. But if only they knew the camera was still in the package lying by the door…
AND THAT'S THE END OF THE STORY! I had some writer's block while trying to come up with this chapter but I hope you all enjoyed it! I had fun writing it!
