I'm Going Present Hunting
~~~Kid's Troubling Present Hunt (part 1)~~~
"Hmmmmmmm…oh man," said Kid aloud as he sat on the edge of his bed and looked up at his ceiling.
"What's wrong with you Kid?" asked Liz as she walked into his room."And why are you still in your pajamas? It's already lunch. Wait did you even eat breakfast? HELLO? Are you there?!"
"I'm just thinking what to get Maka. Her birthday is tomorrow and I have no clue what to get her! And I've been her friend for how long?!" questioned Kid as he kept on staring at the ceiling.
"Geez. I don't know, I mean you've only known her friend for, what, 9 months!" said Liz sarcastically.
"AHH! Please say 8 months! Eight is so perfect! It's so symmetrical! Oh, just pure beauty! Do you see how it just perfectly folds up! No wonder so many people consider it as a lucky number! A gift from above!" yelled Kid as he now continued to rant why 8 was his favorite number
Jeez, I only kidding. Not to mention lying. Did he not get my sarcastic tone? I didn't think he would react like this. Like a crazy maniac! Still, he's so oblivious to the fact that he's already known Maka for more than a year. And it's sad how he doesn't even realize that he's starting develop this small, but sure affection for Maka. But, now that affection is starting to grow more and more and he still doesn't realize it! Ah, what to do about it. Oh, I know just the right thing!
"KID!" shouted Liz
"Eight so perfectly sym-"stopped Kid as he turned to stare at Liz "Oh, sorry Liz. I just got carried away with eight. With the beautifully symmetrical eight! I mean just look at it! Have you never seen a more perfect nu-"
Liz reached out her hand, grabbed Kid's ear, and started to drag him out of the room.
"OWW! AH, MY GOODNESS! LIZ, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! WHERE ARE YOU DRAGGING ME TO? NOT TO MENTION THAT YOU'RE NOT PULLING ON MY OTHER EAR AND NOW IT JUST FEELS ALL ASYMMETRICAL." cried Kid
"Oh this, I'm just taking taking us out, so we can buy Maka a present. You know since tomorrow is going to be her FREAKIN BIRTHDAY!" shouted Liz
"Eh? It is? …Did I seriously just have a brain fart after talking about the number e..e..eight?" murmured Kid
"No, duh. You forgot that tomorrow was her birthday because of a stinkin number! You try to think of what to get her, but all you can think about is the stupid, freakin number eight! Don't you care about Maka? Don't you want to actually get her something instead of staying in this room and thinking about the number eight?! You know what forget it. If you're just going to sulk all day and don't even know what to get Maka what's the point of having her party or even going to it?" yelled Liz coldly
There was a long moment of silence before Kid broke it.
"I...I do want to get her something. But, I was thinking of getting her a present that would make her truly happy because she's never as happy around me or Blackstar when she's around S-Soul and he's in a coma! You see her around Soul! She's always happy in the truest way possible when she's around him. The way she laughs and the way she smiles around him is different even though she knows he can't respond back! It's never the same around me and Blac-no just me. And sometimes I hate myself for that. For not being able to make Maka truly happy." said Kid his voice starting to quiver. "I'm a failure of creation! Why did my father even take his time to create me?"
Oh crap! I think Kid's about to cry! thought Liz What should I do?
Kid was on the verge of crying, but then Liz squatted down next to him and started to pat his head. As she closed her eyes, she tried to think of something that would cheer Kid up.
"Ah-Well, don't be so upset Kid! I mean we could uh-uh- you're not a failure! Kid, don't ever call yourself that! Patti and I have been with you for a long time and we both know that you always try to do your best. Don't worry one day you'll make Maka truly smile and she won't even be around Soul. " smiled Liz
"Really?" sniffed Kid as he looked up at Liz
"Really." promised Liz as she opened her eyes to give Kid a reassuring look.
But when Liz saw the innocent and relieved look on Kid's face, she immediately felt her cheeks turn a little hot. She quickly stood up and turned away from his face.
"What happened Liz? Is something wrong?" asked Kid
"H-Huh?Oh,umm it's n-nothing!" stammered Liz
"Ohh, okay." mumbled Kid
What happened just now? though Liz as she could still feel the presence of hotness on her cheeks. Oh,it's probably nothing.
"Now, let's go shopping for Maka birthday present. Patti! Let's go!" shouted Liz
"Wait Liz! I'm not even changed! I don't want to go out shopping my my pajamas! Please let me change first before we go!" pleaded Kid as he tried to flail out of Liz's grasp
"Uh-no." said Liz
"Hullo! Sis!" greeted Patti as she entered the room "What are you doing to Kid?"
"Oh this? Umm just trying to get him out of this room, but he's too darn heavy." said
"Hey, I'm not heavy. You just happen to have weak, jelly arms!"yelled Kid
"Yeah. Yeah. Anyways,Patti! I need your help. Grab Kid's legs and I'll get his arms." ordered Liz as she grabbed hold of Kid's moving arms.
Patti just stood there and didn't move an inch.
"Patti why are you just standing there?" asked Liz "I need your help."
"You didn't say please!" pouted Patti
"Uh-Fine. Patti could you please grab Kid's legs? I'll get his arms." asked Liz
"Okayyy!" agreed Liz as she walked over to the flailing Kid and grabbed both his legs.
"Great now, let's walk and take him to that Death City's town center I heard that there are tons of stores to choose from. And don't drop him! This is for his own good." said Liz
"Okayyy!" yelled Patti
"Wait Patti don't listen to Liz! Let go of me!" shouted Kid as he flailed even more
"Sorry no can do! Sis, says it's for your own good!" said Patti as she and Liz walked out of the room carrying Kid along with them.
"Wait, Sis? What are we going to do there?" asked Patti
"Where to going shop for Maka's birthday gift. Tomorrow's her birthday remember? I also need to get Maka a gift."
"Oh,yeah. Thanks for reminding me sis. I need to get Maka a birthday present too." smiled Patti
As Liz and Patti carried an exhausted Kid to Death City's town center, they talked about what they would get Maka for her birthday. But, it was really Patti who did all the talking because as she talked, Liz was thinking, not about what she would get Maka, but about the innocent and relief-filled look on Kid's face. And just the thought of it made Liz blush just a little bit.
