Death the Kid was staring at his girlfriend Crona Gorgon across the ballroom.
She was spinning around with Maka, since Soul was standing right next to Kid.
"Kid, why are you staring at Crona?" Soul asked, a small smirk on his face.
"Its just that...she looks so beautiful...even though she's been through...everything with Medusa...and being an outcast, an outsider, she's still so beautiful." Kid said, smiling at the young girl across the room.
"So, if she's so beautiful, then why are you standing here?" Soul asked, his eyes knowing.
Before Kid could even move or blink, Crona came running over to him and grabbed his hand.
"Are you alright?" Kid asked, a small smile on his face.
"I'm f-fine...dance with m-me." Crona said, a faint pink hue on her face.
Kid's eyes widened as they walked onto the floor, spinning around and smiling at Soul.
"So, why did you want to dance with me?" Kid asked when they were on the dance floor.
"Give it a m-minute." Crona said, a hand on his shoulder and their hands still connected.
The music started, Kid smiling as they started to waltz across the dance floor.
"Ok, now you can a-ask me...and an a-answer to the first f-forbidden q-question is that I-I...wanted to d-dance with y-you." Crona stuttered out, smiling up at him as they danced.
"Well...I could kind of tell." Kid said, spinning her around.
"O-oh...yeah...I s-should've k-known." Crona said, her eyes on the floor beneath them.
"Crona..." Kid started, causing her watery-blue eyes to move up to his own gold ones.
They inched closer, kissing each other's lips...making it a soft and sweet kiss.
They pulled away, smiles on each of their faces and a faint blush on each of their pale cheeks.
"Hey, mind if I steal him away for a sec?" Some bleach blonde asked, stepping in-between them.
"G-go ahead." Crona said, stepping away from Kid as the song ended.
"Actually, no. I'm sorry...but I"m going to dance with my girlfriend." Kid said, grabbing Crona's hand and pulling her near him, making Crona smile.
The blonde huffed and turned away, hitting Kid on the head as she went.
Crona, grinning, put a hand on the back of his head where she hit him and smiled while touching their noses together.
"I l-love you." Crona said, smiling and looking down on the ground.
"I love you too." Kid said, tilting her chin up and tucking a lock of pink hair behind her ear.
Crona wrapped her arms around him and smiled softly at him.
"Kid...what if something h-happened to me t-tomorrow? What would you d-do?" Crona asked, a small smile on her face.
"Well...if someone hurt you, then I would kill them...but if you hurt yourself because of something...I won't be happy...I'd be very upset if something happened to you." Kid said, kissing her forehead.
"So...you'd h-help me? If s-someone was s-say...after m-me?" Crona asked, snuggling against him.
"Yes. And I'm guessing someone is after you." Kid said, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah...s-someone is. I-it scares m-me." Crona said, wrapping her arms around him.
"I won't let anything happen to you Crona." Kid said, pulling away slightly so he could see her face.
"H-how would you s-stop it?" Crona asked, tilting her head with tears in her eyes.
"Because I'm giving you this." Kid said, sliding one of his skull rings off of his finger and holding it out to her.
"W-won't it throw off the s-symmetry?" Crona asked, her eyes wide and fearful.
"I have another one at home. I was going to give you that one tonight, but I forgot it. Besides, I think I can handle not wearing all of my rings for one night...as long as you have one and keep it close to you." Kid explained, taking her hands in his.
"K-Kid..." Crona started, her eyes on the ground and tears falling out of them from relief.
Kid wordlessly wrapped his arms around the girl, knowing that she was happy instead of sad.
Slightly off of the dance floor...their friends smiled and watched as the couple embraced and twirled on the dance floor.
"They're so cute!" Patty squealed, bouncing slightly.
"You would know...you were the one who got them together in the first place." Liz said, chuckling softly.
"Wait, what? Patty got them together at first?" Soul asked, his eyes wide.
"Mm-hm! I got Kiddo to sign up for a dating website, and Maka got Crona to do the same!" Patty exclaimed happily.
Back on the dance floor, Kid had his arms firmly wrapped around Crona's waist.
"Crona...you make me so happy." Kid said, swaying softly to the slow music twinkling over the speakers.
"You make me happy too, Kid." Crona said, a faint pink hue on her pale cheeks.
Kid smiled down at her when a black-clad, bouncy figure came up to them.
"What's up? What's up? What's up?" Lord Death asked in his normal cheery way.
"I'm just dancing with your son, that's all." Crona said to Lord Death, her eyes on Kid's own.
"And I'm dancing with the most beautiful girl that I have ever met." Kid replied, his eyes locked on Crona's face.
Lord Death smiled through his mask, glad that his son found someone who could make him as happy as himself with Kid's mother.
"Well...I just wanted to see how things were going. If you two need me, I'll be over there. Bye!" Lord Death said, exiting the dance floor.
Crona loved dancing with Kid, and she loved the fact that he was, well...Kid.
