Kid and Crona part 4

Somehow I slowly managed to open my eyes. First everything was fuzzy, all I could make out where blobs of color. But soon I was able to distinctively see shapes, asymmetrical shapes. I groaned softly at the imperfection but continued to focus on the room around me. Standing around my bed were my friend, weapons, even my father was there. I looked around again. Someone was holding my hand. Someone with pure skin, shining eyes and the most beautiful hair I have ever seen. "Kid?" Crona spoke softly, squeezing my hand. "Hey Kiddo, you awake now?" my father said bouncing over towards me and patting my head with his large gloves. I nodded and sat up, relieved to see everyone I cared about safe. Especially Crona. "Kid we were so worried about you!" Patty wailed falling onto my bed and hugging my waist. "Patty, stop it! I'm a Shinigami, I can't die easily," I reassured her, smiling a bit. After awhile of talking to everyone and asking how everything was while I was asleep, they all left me alone with Crona. I smiled at her and she blushed, making sure not to look at my face as she sat down on the bed next to my legs. "K-kid, I'm sorry I ran away. If I would've stayed here then you wouldn't have gotten hurt. It's all my fault," she said as tears built up in her eyes.  I smiled and touched her cheek, wiping the tears away before pulling her into a hug. "It's not your fault at all. The things that happened to me were my fault alone. It just shows that I'm willing to die for the ones I love," I whispered and hugged her tighter as she cried on my shoulder. "I-I love you too Kid," she sobbed.

I didn't think I'd know how to deal with Kid being gone, and the cause of it being me. I cried on his shoulder for hours as he rubbed my back gently and repeatedly told me he loved me until I fell asleep like that. He was warm and I could feel the glow from his amber colored soul as I slept against his chest. I had been so worried that he wouldn't like me anymore since I was such a burden but all that melted away once I saw his beautiful, flawless smile shine at me like it did on our first date. The rest of the week flew by in the blink of an eye compared to how long I waited for Kid to wake up. He accompanied me on my missions and had invited me to stay at his large manor, saying that the cold stone walls of the DWMA were no place for anyone to live. He even made friends with Ragnarok who, strangely enough, began to like both Kid and myself. Everything was finally becoming right in our world.

As the years passed and all of our friends had either become or created death scythes, Kid and I were some of the only original students still left at Death City. Aside from Soul and Maka who were now teachers, everyone had left us. Kid was soon going to take over his father's position and I would be left with nothing, or so I thought. One day, Kid came up to me blushing and asked me the same thing he did all those years ago. "Crona, will you please go out with me?" he asked shyly. Of course I said yes. On the night of the date, I stayed at Maka's house like I did before and she helped me get ready, putting on a black dress that matched the one I wore on our first date. I couldn't figure out why but she was grinning happily as she helped me get ready. When Kid picked me up, he took me to the same restaurant as before. We talked and laughed, remembering all the great times he had over the years. After dinner, we took a walk around a small park in the middle of the city, gazing up at the night sky and talking more. I had been in the middle of nervously explaining something to him when he leaned over and gently kissed me. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment until he pulled away and smiled at me. Before I wanted it to, the night was over and we arrived back at Maka's house about to say our goodbyes. "Crona, there was something I've been wanting to ask you," he started holding one of my hands, "As you know, I am now 25 years old, and you are 26. I've known you for over ten years and have loved every minute of it." He paused for a moment and smiled at me, his cheeks turning slightly pink. "I know I'm the son of a Shinigami and you're that daughter of a witch. We're both so different from everyone else but also alike in many ways. There's no one in the world I'd rather spend my life with than you." He dug one of his hands in his pocket, searching for something as I felt my heart pound in my chest. "Crona," he started letting go of my hand and getting down on one knee, opening the item from his pocket which held a ring, "Would you marry me?" I shook my head yes, feeling like my heart was about to pound out of my chest as he slipped the small golden ring on my finger and kissed me.

And we lived happily ever after.
