You couldn't sleep, you wanted to ask if what you had seen earlier was real but you didn't want to bring it up. You turn to him peeking at him to find him watching you. He blinks, raising an eyebrow at you. "Seriously, what's wrong?" He frowns at you.

"I don't know.... I just feel.... Sad..." You murmur looking away. He frowns and moves to get closer to you but his phone rings. His eyes don't leave you as he answers his cell.

"Yeah?..... I'm with her..... Shut it, she's not feeling well...." He rolls his eyes and hangs up, making his cellphone disappear.

"Are you going to leave?" You ask carefully.

"Do you want me to-" You instinctively grab his hand and he stops, blinking in surprise before frowning. "Its okay... I don't know what is going on with you, but I'll stay with you until you feel better..."

Your heart gives a squeeze and you hug him, hiding your face. "I'm sorry..."

"What? Don't be sorry, it's okay..." He rubs your back. "Just tell me if there's anything else I can do to help you sleep... You have school tomorrow."

".... Have you ever been in love before?" You whisper. He completely freezes at that.

"W-What? What brought this on?" He asks.

"What was her name?" You press. He tries to pull away and you look at him as he grimaces.

"___.... Stop...." He breathes not meeting your gaze. You cup his face, drawing his gaze back to you as you stare into his eyes seriously. He pauses, body giving up. "Leanna..." He admits quietly, the name shook him slightly.

"I hate her..." You murmur eyes narrowing. Kid blinks at you surprised before relaxing and starting to laugh, hugging you close.

"Heh.... You're really cute... I wasn't expecting that...." He chuckles. You blink and relax at his laughter hugging him back with a slight smile before instantly falling asleep. Kid settles down and pulls back to look at your face. He smiles and kisses your lips. "Thanks ___.... I hope you dream about something good..." He whispers.

"Wake up beautiful." Kid chuckles, waking you up. Yawning you peer up at the demon as you stretch and pause. He smirks holding a tray of food for you. You feel yourself blush and sit up.

"Wh-What's all this?" You question as he places it on your lap.

"Breakfast in bed to cheer you up." He rumbles.

"Where did you steal this from?" You inquire.

"I didn't steal it, I had to make it here in case you woke up." He tells you. You blink and look at him utterly touched by the gesture. "What? Just eat." He breathes smiling and looking away. You search his face before leaning over and kissing his cheek.

"Thank you..." You breathe before digging in. Kid had froze, cheeks starting to glow red.

"No problem.... I'm going to leave first.... See you at school." He says getting up. You blink at him.

"Why are you leaving, I thought you would be happy from that." You frown at him.

"I.... I.... Don't worry about it. I'll see you later." He scoffs taking a step back, looking to the side before disappearing. You frown more at that. Was he being cautious? You push the thought away and finish the food before getting out of bed and putting up the dishes. You return to your room and get ready for school.

Then you notice the large metal locker in the corner of your room. Little demon jolly rogers were all over it, on top sat an empty picture frame. You blink a few times and call Kid. 'What?' He asks.

"Where did you get this locker? It's badass...." You breathe.

'Heh.... That's because I made it.' He boasts and you can see his grin. You smile softly at that.

"You did great Kid..." You breathe softly. He seems to pause.

'.... I.... I can't talk to you today... I'm going to turn off my phone now.' He tells you. You blink feeling a pain at that.

".... Alright... Be careful out there Kid... Please...." You murmur, trying to make yourself smile as if he were there.

'....Yeah.... You too...' He hangs up. You lower the phone and check your alarm clock. Time to head to school.

Kid stares down at the phone for a long time feeling conflicted. "Its best this way." Killer tells him. Kid closes his eyes, making his phone disappear. Probably... Kid knew that if you had said one more thing he would've crossed the line again.

"Right.." He agrees, but he knew it was too late to stop himself from falling for you. Everything you did drew him in. His being ached for you. Your smile, your laugh, your touch, your lips... Especially your lips. He felt that if he looked at you one more time he'd never leave your side again. Damn it's only been a few minutes but he missed you so badly.

"Kid, come on, let's focus on something else.. Want to go mess with humans? It'll be fun." Killer touches his back, knocking him from his thoughts.

"Yeah... Let's go." He rumbles, forcing a smile.

"Hey ___, I got the notes for your next class." Zoro says and you blink at him in confusion. Oh yeah...

"Zoro. I was just kidding about that." You tell him.

"Then what do you want me to do?" He frowns. You search his face, trying to make your mind settle and grasp a thought.

"Teach me how to use a sword then." You request. He lights up, raising an eyebrow.

"You want to learn how to use a sword? Alright! Awesome, we'll go to my house after school!" He smiles widely.

"Sounds like a plan." You muse distracted.

"Hey, are you feeling okay?" He touches your shoulder.

"Yeah I'm fine. Don't worry about me." You smile. "Come on, we have Literature next." You lead the way to class. Mr. Kuro hands out some unique poems to read. You blink at the poem in front of you. It had no title but the words made your heart ache.

<i>The Angel

Many centuries ago an angel fell in love with a demon.

To get closer and watch over him she gave up her power until she was barely a spirit.

She walked beside him for a long time, he only caught glimpses of her every now and then.

One day the demon was faced with death, but the angel took the blade, using some of her left over power to scare away the priest.

However shortly after, the demon went on a rampage killing without restraint.

His fellow demons saw the problem and swiftly subdued him, hiding him away where he could harm no more.

The angel wept and wept her and the demon's sorrows, creating a new ocean with her tears.

Until the Lord offered her another chance to see the monster she loved.

She agreed without hesitation, her sorrows fading to hope to love the monster again. </i>

Droplets fall onto the paper and for a moment you're confused until you realize that you were crying. "___?" Zoro gasps in surprise, making you look at him. He swiftly stands up, pulling you from your seat.

"What are you two-" Kuro blinks at you before turning away. "Step outside then." He says. Zoro leads you out to the hall, swiftly cupping your face and wiping away the tears.

"What's wrong? Are you hurting? Are you okay?" He breathes.

"I.... I don't know... I'm going home." You whisper trying to pull yourself together. What the hell was happening to you?

"You want me to walk with?" He asks in concern.

"No thank you..." You murmur pulling away. He frowns worriedly as you leave.

"Be safe..."

You leave school in a daze, walking for home as you look at your phone, debating on calling Kid. Your mind whirled like a tornado. Why can't you think straight? Why did your heart ache so much like it had with Killer? You close your eyes, thumb pressing the call button just as someone shoves you into an alley way.

You gasp and blink, turning to the group of men. When did they get that close? You stagger back. "You should be in school...." One rumbles. Another grabs at you but you pull away swiftly, shirt tearing in the process.

"Stay still." First one growls, pulling out a knife. You pale and turn to run but another yanks you back by your hair. "I said stay still." He snarls.

"Let her go." A snarl echoes the alley way. They freeze at that and you feel your body relax as the knife is torn from the man's grasp. An arm comes around you and Kid swiftly places you away from the group.

"Who the fuck-" A large metal dumpster slams into the group, pinning them against a wall.

"Are you okay?" Kid cups your cheek. The tears were coming back now. "Cover your ears and close your eyes.." He breathes. You nod and do so. Kid watches your face for a moment before turning on the men as they manage to push the dumpster away, letting out his demon form, fire flickering over him.

"W-What the..." One gasps.

"I'll give you a preview of hell." Kid growls.

You hear their muffled screams and feel the heat of fire as it blows around you. And then it stopped and you're picked up bridal style. You open your eyes as Kid teleports you home. "Kid.... I'm sorry...." You sniff.

"What are you apologizing for? What are you doing outside of school?" He murmurs putting you down on the couch.

"I don't know.... I feel like I'm losing my mind.... I keep crying... And snapping... and zoning out.... And every time you leave I feel so lost...." I hold your head. Kid softens and pulls you into a tight hug.

"It's going to be okay.... I'm sorry..." He rubs your back. You hug him tightly. Burying your face in his warmth. "Hey... What do you want to do tonight?"

"I don't know... I'm suppose to go over Zoro's so he can teach me how to use swords..." You tell him.

"Really? I think that could help you... Can I come?" He asks.

"Sure, I'll talk to him about it... And you'll have to apologize." You give him a pointed look. He smiles and nods.

"Alright. I'll do it so I can stay with you." He agrees.

"Thank you... Thank you..." You breathe hugging him again.
