Crona and Soul's first date was a simple yet heartfelt affair. Soul wanted to make sure Crona felt comfortable and at ease, so he planned a low-key outing that would allow them to spend quality time together. They decided to go for a leisurely stroll in the beautiful Death City park. The sun was setting, casting a warm, golden glow over the surroundings. As they walked side by side, Crona felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. However, Soul's reassuring presence and Maka's advice still resonated with her, reminding her to be herself and enjoy the moment.
"I'm really glad lord Death's allowing you to stay out past 5pm now" Soul said. Crona smiled softly at Soul's remark, feeling a mixture of relief and gratitude. "Y-yeah, I-it's nice to be able to see the sunset now," she replied. Soul chuckled softly, appreciating Crona's response. "Yeah, it's amazing how something as simple as watching the sunset can make a difference, huh?" he said. Crona nodded, her smile growing a little wider. "It's b-beautiful," she whispered. "I-I never really had the chance to enjoy these things before." "Well, now you do," Soul said, gently squeezing her hand.
As they continued their stroll through the park, Soul pointed out various spots of interest, sharing stories and anecdotes from his past adventures. Crona listened attentively, captivated by his tales and the genuine passion in his voice. She found herself opening up more, sharing her own thoughts and experiences with him. They laughed together, and occasionally, Soul would crack a joke to ease any lingering tension. Crona felt herself relaxing, feeling more at ease with each passing moment. It was as if being with Soul had a soothing effect on her anxious heart.
As they reached a small bridge overlooking a tranquil pond, they stopped to admire the view. The water shimmered under the setting sun, reflecting the golden hues of the sky. Crona took a deep breath, savoring the moment. "This is... really nice," she said softly. Soul smiled at her, his eyes warm with affection. "Yeah, it is," he agreed. They continued their walk, occasionally stealing glances at each other, their smiles speaking volumes.
"I-i used to be so s-scared of getting into tr-trouble, but L-lord Death is s-so nice" Soul nodded in agreement. "e-even when I make mistakes e-everyone is so nice" Soul smiled warmly at Crona's words. "You're right," he said, "everyone here at the DWMA is understanding and supportive. We've all made mistakes and faced our own challenges, but we've also grown and learned together." Crona felt a sense of relief and comfort knowing that Soul understood her feelings. She had always feared judgment and rejection, but being at the DWMA had shown her a different side of people.
"It's... it's so different from what I'm used to," she admitted, her voice still slightly shaky with emotion. "With l-lady Medusa I was always afraid of ma-making a mistake" "Medusa was cruel and manipulative," he said gently. "But you're here now, and things are different. You don't have to be afraid anymore." Crona nodded, grateful for his understanding. "I... I know," she said softly. "It's just hard sometimes to shake off those old fears." Soul pulled her closer, wrapping an arm around her shoulders in a protective gesture. "I get it," he said. "It takes time to heal from the past, but remember, you're not alone in this. We're all here for you." "Y-yeah… I'm-I'm glad I came here" Soul smiled, a warm and reassuring expression on his face. "I'm glad too," he replied softly. "You've grown so much since you arrived at the DWMA, and it's been amazing to see." Crona's cheeks flushed with a mix of shyness and gratitude. Soul's encouragement meant the world to her, and it made her heart swell with warmth.
As they walked back to the DWMA, their fingers still intertwined, Crona knew that this first date had marked the beginning of a beautiful journey—a journey of healing, love, and growth, guided by the kindness and warmth of Soul and the friends she had found at the academy.
