Last Time You Stand Alone

Chapter 3: Embarrassing moment: Kid's first nosebleed?!


Soul Evans' POV


The night grew to an end and it was time for everyone to leave, which meant I had to say goodbye to Kid. He was by my side the whole night; Lord Death seemed to notice but didn't say anything. Maka hugged Tsubaki "Bye Tsubaki! See you at school tomorrow!" she said to the shadow weapon. Tsubaki smiled "Sounds good." Tsubaki said sweetly "Come on Soul, we should get home." Maka informed me. I nodded "Yeah, yeah I know. Just hold on." I said then turned to face the quiet boy beside me. I kissed both of Kid's cheeks "Bye Kid. Stay safe okay? I'll see you tomorrow." I told him, Kid nodded slightly "I'll try. Bye Soul." He said.

I gave him a hug before walking out of the building with Maka. She looked up at me "What did you mean by stay safe?" she asked, my heart stopped in panic "Well I don't want him falling down the stairs or anything." I said with a shrug. Maka raised a brow and continued walking to the taxi that was waiting for us. I opened up the door for her to be nice, she hopped inside and I did the same after her.

When we were buckled the taxi driver started the car and drove to our apartment.  I looked out the window; the ride was silent just like the ride there was. I watched the lights flash by as I waited for the taxi to stop at our place.  I could feel Maka staring at me, probably wondering why I was so quiet again.  I stared at the floor 'Kid, please don't do it again…' I thought quietly.


Kid's POV


Everyone left the house but of course Liz and Patty. I was about to walk upstairs till I felt a hand rest on my shoulder, I looked to my right and saw Liz and Patty with huge smiles on their faces "Sooo how did it happen!?" Liz asked. I gave her a confused look "How did what happen?" I asked "You and Soul! We wanna know!" Patty giggled. I felt my heart come to a stop, I couldn't tell them the real story "Well he asked me to dance and after the song ended I said I didn't feel well and he came with me to the bathroom. He stayed in there with me till my stomach calmed down then he kissed me." I lied.

Patty squealed and Liz patted my shoulder "That is weird and cute at the same time." Liz said with a smile. I gave them a real smile, for the first time in months "Thanks guys." I said "No problem Kid!" Patty sang. Liz started to walk up the stairs "We are gonna go to bed now. We will see you tomorrow morning for school." she said I nodded "Night." I said simply, I stayed downstairs for a little. I went to the bathroom to replace the bloody bandages with band aids so it would be easier to hide from the others.

When I was done I walked upstairs to my room to get ready for bed. I changed into a black pajama bottoms then a simple white t-shirt, I brushed my hair and teeth before getting into bed.  I got right in the middle of the bed before pulling the covers over me. I rolled on my side and stared at my scarred and cut arm "Disgusting…" I muttered before sticking my arm under the covers. I sighed then closed my eyes and fell asleep.

6am, the next day


I felt someone shake me awake; I groaned then opened my eyes to see who was waking me up "Come on Kid. We are going to be late if you don't wake up."  Liz said as she continued to shake me. I nodded then sat up and stretched which was a big mistake. Liz gasped and yanked one of my arms towards her, my eyes widen in shock "What is this Kid!" she said "It's nothing Liz! Go get ready for school!" I commanded, she shook her head "Explain!" she said her voice was shaky.

I stared at the ground so I wouldn't have to see her face "Later okay? Go get ready for school…" I said as I yanked my arm out of her grip and got out of bed "Please leave…" I said quietly. I heard her start to walk out "We care for you Kid. I connect with your soul almost every day. I knew you were in pain I just didn't think it was this bad…" she said before she left.

I took in a deep breath to stop the tears from falling; I walked to my closet and grabbed my usual suit then changed into it. I folded my dirty clothes and carefully put them in the hamper then I headed to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and hair.

I walked out of my room and headed downstairs, Patty was happily eating cereal. She gave me a huge smile when she saw me "Hi Kiddo!" she sang I gave her a fake smile in return knowing she won't know the difference. Liz seemed to see right through it cause she gave me a sad look. I sighed and grabbed the most perfect apple I could find in the fruit bowl.
I looked at my weapons "Come on. We better go." I said then started to walk to the door. Patty jumped up and put her bowl in the sink then skipped to the door. Liz slowly followed her sister, I gave her a look that told her not to worry but she just looked away. I opened the door and started to walk to the DWMA.

The walk was pretty quiet if you toned out Patty's endless humming. Liz wouldn't even look at me; she ignored me the whole walk 'I knew this would happen…' I thought. I heard a loud roar of an engine behind us. I looked back and saw Soul and Maka pull up on a motorcycle "Hey guys!" Maka said with a smile "HI!!!!!" Patty nearly yelled. Soul turned off the engine, I never seen him on his motorcycle and I'm sad I didn't! He was wearing his leather jacket that he always looked good in and he had headphones in. He was leaning back slightly on the bike. My eyes scanned up and down, enjoying the view that Maka was kinda ruining. Thankfully she hopped off to hug Liz and Patty.

I smiled slightly 'I wonder what it would be like to be so close to Soul on a loud, vibrating motorcycle.' I thought to myself. I felt something wet on my face "Kid you're bleeding!" Patty gasped; I looked at her then brought my hand up to my face and touched under my nose. I held my hand out in front of me and saw the blood, my face turned pink "What were you thinking about?" Soul asked "NOTHING! Come on let's hurry up and get to school!" I said quickly then started to walk off.

Soul smiled and got off his bike and walked it next to me "So Death The Kid can get a nosebleed without getting punched in the face?" he joked. I gently punched him "Oh shut up." I said "So what were you thinking about?" he asked. I just ignored him then I felt a breath on my ear "Was it me?" Soul asked in a whisper, I could feel more blood come out of my nose by the tone of voice he used.  Soul laughed then patted the top of my head "Bingo!" he said.

I wiped the blood away "It's your fault!" I said "Well obviously." he said with a huge smile "You're just so proud of yourself aren't you?" I asked he nodded; I rolled my eyes and continued walking to school. I felt an arm rest around my shoulders, I smiled and moved a hand up and laid it on top of the hand that was on my shoulder.

Soul stopped to put the kickstand down before continuing the rest of the way too school. I looked back to check on the girls, they were happily chatting away. I moved closer to Soul and put my arm around his waist, I could hear the slight noise coming from the one headphone that was hanging down. I looked up at him "Can I hear?" I asked "Of course." Soul said then he handed me the free headphone. I took it and set it in my ear "You could be my it boy, your my biggest hit boy, lemme play it loud, lemme play it loud like whoa oh oh oh." Soul sang quieting along with the chorus, changing some of the lyrics.

I blushed and smiled "I didn't know you liked this type of music." I said Soul shrugged "I listen to everything. This isn't my favorite genre but I like the song. Plus it reminds me of you" he said making me turn redder. Soul smiled "You're even cuter when you smile. You should do it more often." he said I looked into his red eyes "Then you should be around me more often." I said shyly.
