Chapter 5
Kid stares at me in bewilderment. The look in his eyes scares me, it seems I've pushed my limits. I look over to Dylan who is confused, so that can't be a good sign.
"Ana… How the hell do you know about Brew…?!" I honestly didn't know. I can't recall anything about it, just the name.
"I'm sorry Kid… I don't know where that came from, I don't know anything about it, just the name…"
"What is Brew?" Dylan asked. Wait… If Dylan doesn't know, then how do I? This makes no sense…
Kid ignores Dylan's question.
"The incident where we needed Brew happened a year ago, about two months before you two came to the school. We never talked about it since then, so I have no idea where you would even get the idea. Are you sure you're okay?"
"I… I have no idea…" i realize the entire time we had been walking we had gone to Kid's house for some reason, Dylan split off from us a few minutes ago and I didn't even realize. Why have I come here without realizing it? I've never been here before and I seem to know the way by heart…
Kid invites me inside, almost too casually, and I accept, almost too quickly. He runs upstairs for an unknown reason, but it doesn't bother me. I feel safe here, is that weird? As I look around the living room I'm standing in, and I see lots of pictures filling the fireplace mantle. There are some of Soul and Maka, some of Black Star and Tsubaki, some of Kid, Liz, and Patty, there was even a couple of Dylan and I. But I also noticed that scattered among those, there were quite a few of Kid and I… I guess we were close, that is what he told me. But the way I was looking at him didn't exactly say friends. I was looking at all the pictures so intently that I didn't hear him come down, and he ran over and tried to hide the pictures of he and I, but obviously he was too late.
Kid POV
I came downstairs after doing my daily room check to make sure Liz and Patty didn't mess up my symmetry. Ana was standing in front of the fireplace looking at all my pictures. Oh crap! The pictures from our dates are still up there! As soon as I realize this she turns around and smiles at me, so maybe she didn't see them. I casually ran over and tried to take them off, and she simply said,
"There's no point in taking them off, I already saw them. Don't worry, I won't ask. It seems like a touchy subject for you so I have no intentions of asking." How could she not be the least bit curious? If a stranger looked at those photos, its clear that I love her… But now that her memory is gone I can't simply tell her… This is my fault. I'm going to fix this, whether we have to start over or I can find a way get her memory back.
Ana POV
After he tried to hide the pictures from me, he seems to be deep in thought. Its clearly more touchy than I thought… Going over what everyone had told me in the past, like how Tsubaki wouldn't tell me details about me and Kid's relationship, I think that before I lost my memories he and I were together… I can't help but feel bad for him, he's clearly hurting from this. But what is this that I'm feeling? I've only known him two days and I'm already kinda crushing on him… Maybe its my consciousness telling me this is right thing for me.
"Hey Kid, you maybe wanna go out sometime?" He whips his head around and looks at me shocked. After a moment his face softens and he smiles and says,
"Of course. We need to take care of the mission tomorrow first, and if you're feeling okay, then definitely."
