I got up the next morning and showered. It was Saturday so no one was around, I didn't like to shower around other people. I looked down and seen my scar from where Medusa had stabbed through me with her arrow. My back had the same scar. It brought back memories, from when Medusa raised me and thought I was disgusting because I was a boy. She really wanted a girl so she could have a witch daughter, boys can't be a witch (obviously). So in order for me to walk around the halls of the Witch's council, she gave me a dress to look more like a girl. I was born with a slim body somewhat like a girls, which is why so many people ask me if i'm a boy or a girl. I haven't ever changed into normal clothes because I like my dress I guess I got used to wearing it all the time, other than my white tux. I finished the shower, I didn't want to think about the past anymore. I got dressed and decided to hang out at Maka's for a while. I walked to Maka's apartment which luckly isn't too far from the school. I knocked on her door and it took a while for someone to answer. Maka opened the door looking a little sleepy, I wonder if I woke her up.
"O-oh sorry Maka did I wake you?" I asked hoping that I didn't wake her.
"Huh? Oh no you didn't wake me, come in." She invited me in and I stood in her living room as she sat on her couch and yawned. I wonder if I really did wake her up and she didn't tell me the truth.
"Are you sure I d-didn't wake you up? If I d-did i'm s-sorry."
"No Crona, I promise you didn't wake me up, I got up about twenty minutes ago. I kinda overslept."
"O-oh okay. So what do y-you want to do until the p-party?"
"Hmm, not sure, how about we go and get some coffee. If thats okay with you."
"Yeah, its fine." We walked to Deathbucks and got some coffee, I got a small i'm not a big coffee person. We went to the park and sat on the bench as we drank our coffee. We chatted and laughed a little and I remembered what Soul had said yesterday and it made my face hot and go red. I hope she doesn't notice me blushing, she'll probably ask whats wrong. I looked over at Maka and she was enjoying the scenery and her coffee, I wonder if she likes me too. She noticed me looking at her and we both looked away, my face got hot and red again. We continued looking at the trees and the people, I glanced back at her once and saw that her face was red too. Maka was blushing, why, I was the one looking at her.
Later that day at about 11:30 we were both starting to get a little hungry, neither of us had breakfast. We stopped at a restaurant and took some rice to go. We walked back to her apartment and ate there, we had said very little to eachother since we left the park. I finished my rice and waited for Maka to finish hers.
"Crona, you hardly eat anything are you sure your not still hungry?" She asked as she finished her food.
"Huh, oh uh, no i'm not hungry p-promise. But your right I don't eat much. I have gained a little w-weight though, if that helps a-any." I used to be skin and bones, Medusa didn't let me eat much. I have gained a little bit since I came to the DWMA, at least you can't see my ribs as much anymore.
"Yeah, hey Crona you don't mind if we hang out in your room do you?" I instantly blush.
"Uh N-no n-not at a-all." She smiled and we started walking back to the school where my room is. We reached my room and I sat on my bed as Maka looked around a bit. I wonder why she wanted to come here.
"You don't have much to do here do you, so what do you do usually?"
"I usually s-study or walk around the school."
"Oh, you must get lonely being here by yourself."
"Y-yeah, it does. But I usually o-occupy myself with homework or a book."
"What kind of books do you read?"
"Whatever I can f-find thats interesting. I seem to l-like the adventure books a l-lot."
"Oh cool, so do I. What time is it?"
"I-I don't have a clock s-sorry."
"Oh no it's fine, i'll just go and check the clock in the hall upstairs really quick." She left my room to check the clock. Maybe that is something I should get, it would be a lot easier to tell time. She came back shortly after.
"It's only 1 and the party starts at 4. So what do you want to do until then?"
"Oh uh I-I don't know. C-can you tell me some good books to read?"
"Definitely!" She sat next to me on my bed and started telling me about some good books that she has read and what they were about, she even suggested some that she thinks I will like. I could tell that a couple of hours has gone by, we were sick of sitting and decided to start walking around the school. We looked at the clock and the party started in about an hour and a half. I went back down to my room and got dressed into my regular white tuxedo and walked with Maka back to her apartment so she could get dressed.
"So how do I look?" She walked out of her room and she was wearing a blue dress that went to her knees. She had on some sparkling blue dress shoes and her hair was up in a messy bun.
"Y-your very p-pretty." I said blushing a little, she was more than pretty but that would be wierd if I told her. She giggled a little and smiled, "Thanks. Well we better get to the party before we're late, Soul has already left."
"O-okay." We walked to Kid's mansion together and it was nice. The cool breeze felt nice, and the smell of sweet blossoms as they bloomed and the season was beginning into spring was relaxing. We finally got to Kid's mansion and we walked in. Everyone jumped up and said "surprise!" It scared me and everyone laughed, but kinda got confused. Is this all for me?
"Welcome Crona, we threw this party to celebrate how well you are." Said Kid as he walked over to me.
"O-oh uh t-thanks. I really appreciate this."
"You don't have to thank us, we are just happy that you're better." I blushed slightly, I never knew that people cared that much about me. I have caused so much pain to everyone, but yet they still care about me, I hope I don't end up crying in front of everyone. That would be super embarrassing.
"Hey, how about we try some of the food, Tsubaki made it so its gotta be delicious." Maka grabbed my arm and pulled me to a table that was filled with tons of food. It smelled really good and I realized that my stomach is growling.
"Y-yeah, I guess I am a little hungry," I said as I picked up a plate and started filling it up with food.
"Wow Crona you must be hungry, I guess we did walk a lot today though," Maka giggled as we picked up our food. We walked over to one of the walls and started eating as we talked.
"So Crona, you've been going to the DWMA for a while now, how is it? Are you getting used to it yet?"
"Yeah, I am e-enjoying the DWMA, i'm getting pretty used to it, its hard to t-talk to everyone though. I'm not very used to b-being crowded by lots of people."
"Thats good, you will get used to everyone eventually, it just takes a little time." I smiled at her and continued to eat my food. We didn't talk until we finished our food and put away our dishes.
"Hey Crona how about we go dance?"
"D-dance? N-no thank you. I don't know how to d-dance."
"Oh come on I will show you, its easy. But we will start with a upbeat song first." She grabbed my arm and pulled me over to the dance floor where everyone else was dancing. Maka started to dance and tried getting me to dance.
"See, just move your body around. It doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to be fun."
"O-okay." I attempted to dance, I feel so embarrassed its wierd to dance around so many people. When the song was over I tried to escape to the nearest wall, but Maka grabbed my arm.
"Where are you going? I still need to show you how to slow dance."
"Ah um, o-okay." A really slow song started to play and Maka started to place my left hand on her waist and she placed her right hand on my shoulder. My right hand and her left hand joined as she started to step forward, then to the side, then back, then side, and over again. I followed her movements and we danced until the song changed to another slow song. She had me dance this one to. As we danced, I realized how tall I really am compared to Maka. I felt my face get hot and I blushed as we danced. I've never been so close to Maka before, it was nice. I liked dancing with Maka. When the song was over, Maka and I decided that we've had enough dancing. We walked over to Soul, Kid, Black Star, and the others.
"Hey guys. What are you all talking about," Maka asked as we arrived.
"Oh nothing, just wondering where you and Crona ended up," Tsubaki responded.
"I was showing Crona how to dance."
"Pfft, Crona dancing? Oh please, what did you really do," Black Star laughed. I feel so embarrassed.
"Black Star, do I need to give you another dose of Maka Chop?"
"Black Star that was extremely rude." Tsubaki knocked him on the back of the head.
"Ow! Fine, sorry Crona."
"So, Crona how are you liking the party?" Kid changed the conversation.
"Oh uh, I l-like it. T-thank you a bunch. I-It was really n-nice of you all to think of this for me."
"No problem," everyone chimed. The party ended and we all said our goodbyes. Tsubaki and Black Star went home first. Soul went home afterwards and Maka decided to walk me home.
"Y-you don't have to walk me home. I'll be f-fine."
"No its okay. I want to walk you home."
"O-okay, thank you." She didn't answer, we just walked. I remember the last time I walked home from one of Kid's parties, Medusa confronted me and I freaked. I ended up doing some pretty bad stuff afterwards. The madness the Kishin was giving off didn't help me any, but now Medusa no longer exists and neither does the Kishin, I don't think Arachne does either. I feel safe with Maka, so I don't mind her walking me home. We arrived at the DWMA entrance.
"Well here we are."
"Y-yeah, thank you again Maka for walking me home."
"Its no problem, well goodnight."
"Goodnight." I started to walk in when Maka just stood there.
"Crona," Maka kinda mumbled, I turned around to answer her.
"Huh? Ah!" Maka threw herself towards me and hugged me. My face got really hot and I know I blushed until my face was lobster red. Maka just hugged me for a while before saying anything.
"Be safe, okay? I don't know what I would do without you." She stopped hugging me and looked at me for a moment before she ran away. Her face was really blushed too and it looked like she was crying. I had to stand there for a moment before I could register what just happened. Ragnarock popped out just as I slowly started walking to my room.
"Huh? Are we at the party yet? Hey wait why are we here?"
"Ragnarock the party ended a long time ago."
"Oh crap! I was asleep and missed my chance. Why is your face red?"
"N-no r-reason! Wait, your chance for what?"
"Bull crap no reason. Nothing, ignore it." He went back into my back.
"O-okay." I walked into my room and layed on my bed. I started thinking about how Maka hugged me and said what she said. I wonder why she did that, do I really matter that much to her? I'm going to stay home tomorrow and think about this. I just wonder how Monday is gonna be, I stopped thinking about it and went to bed.
