Death the Kid X Crona Chapter 1

Death the Kid X Crona Chapter 1: Unsymmetrical Perfection


The summer had rolled into Death City, and so had a new student. Everyone noticed and introduced them selves. Maka led the new kid around, showing them the ins and outs of DWMA. It felt weird to be welcomed for Crona, who had never felt so welcomed, even if the name "New Kid" was what the students had begun referring to Crona as. But only one student had yet to meet Crona, and it would be a true crossing of stars when these two met.


"Another perfectly symmetrical day, don't you agree Liz and Patty?" Death the Kid said gleefully walking though the academy's halls.

"Yes Kid, very symmetrical." Liz sighs sarcastically while Patty skipped happily next to them.

"Yes. Perfectly a symmetrical day, with no suprises or challenges. Pure perfection."
Kid lulls happily.

"Well, haven't you heard about the new student Kid?" Patty asks. Kid stops dead in
his tracks.

"What? A new… student?" He asks cringing.

"Whats the matter Kid?" Liz asks as Kid starts shaking.

"WHATS THE MATTER?!?!?! THERE WERE 888 STUDENTS IN THE ACADEMY
YESTERDAY!!!" Kid yells at his partner.

"So…?" Liz asks becoming annoyed.

"With a new student… that makes it 889…. That's not symmetrical as 888!!!!" He yells,
collapsing on the ground and getting into the fetal postition.

"My god Kid. You seriously need to loosen up." Liz sighs.

"I am loose. And I'm going to go see what this new kid is playing at throwing off the perfectly symmetrical balance of students that made this school perfect!!!" Kid yells jumping to his feet and stomping down the halls.

"Did you understand anything of what he said sis?" Patty asks Liz to a sigh and face palm from Liz.

"God he's at it again…" Liz sighs following Kid.

Kid turns the corner and sees Maka, but she is with another with pink hair he didn't really recognize. That had to have been the new kid Kid decides. Kid steps from behind the corner and stomps over to the skinny pink haired kid and coughs dignifiedly, getting the two's attention.

"Oh, and this is Shinigami-Sama's son, Death the Kid. But you may call him Kid." Maka says with a smile pointing to Kid as the new student turns to face Kid. The kid had light blue eyes and their pink hair was a mess in their face. They had a look of fear and insecurity. Kid drops his jaw in astonishment at their apperance.

"And Kid, this is Chrona. Chrona's new and-" Maka explains before Kid drops his head and begins to mutter as Liz and Patty turn the corner.

"Oh crap…" Liz sighs in fear.

"Unsymmetrical…." Kid mutters, so low Maka gives a look of curiousity.

"Kid? What did you-?" Maka asks before Kid throws his head up with a look of anger.

"Here we go..." Liz lets out again face palming.

"YOU UNSYMMETRICAL FREAK!!!!" Kid yells, pointing at Crona making Crona back up and clasp hands in fear.

"Kid, what are you saying?" Maka asks in annoyment at Kid's rude statement.

"LOOK AT HOW YOUR HAIR!!! HAVE YOU EVER GOTTEN A GOOD HAIRCUT?? IT'S RANDOMLY LONG IN SOME AREAS AND SHORT IN OTHERS!! AND THAT DRESS, ITS END IS TOTALLY MESSY AND UNEVEN!! YOU ARE THE POOREST EXCUSE OF LIFE EVER!!!" Kid tirades making Crona's face flush of color. Kid turns and stomps away fuming from the tirade, then turns his head and give a angry look again. "And you uneven the schools populace at 889. You disgust me." He finishes before regaining his composure and walking off with his head up. "Come Liz, Patty." He says to his twin pistols as they both turn.

Liz looks back with a look of sympathy at Crona and even mouths 'Sorry' before looking away and following Kid. Crona doent move, nable to take in Kid's tirade.

"I… I am a freak. I told you Maka. No one likes me." Crona says in a shaky voice before Maka tries her best to comfort.

"Its fine, Kid's just mad at something, I'm sure he didn't-" She explains before Crona pulls away from her and runs away crying.

"NO ONE LIKES ME!! IM A FREAK!!" Crona crys through the halls, running to the room that the Academy had provided.

"Crona...…" Maka sighs. She looks over in Kid's direction with a furious scowl and charges after him. "KID YOU BASTARD!!" Maka screams as she sees Kid walking with Liz and Patty at his side.

"Maka, what do you-?" Kid asks before being uppercuted and thrown to the ground by a furious Maka. He barely manages to make it to his knees to look at Maka with a pissed look. "The hell-?" He asks rubbing a small bit of blood from his lip before Maka stomps hard on the ground.

"YOU IDIOT!! YOU HURT CRONA'S FEELINGS!!" Maka yells with some tears forming. "ITS HARD ENOUGH BEING IN A NEW PLACE, BUT BEING CONFRONTED AND RANTED ON BASED ON THEIR APPEARANCE IS TOTAL B.S!! NOW GO APOLOGIZE OR I'LL BEAT YOU SO BAD YOU WONT LIVE TO BE A SHINIGAMI!!" She commands as Kid makes it to his feet.

"Me? Apologize to that creaton? I would never-" Kid states before being Maka chopped down the hall. He twitches in pain as Maka stands pointing down the hall to Crona's room in anger.

"GO." She commands through her teeth. Kid wobbles to his feet and gives a thumbs up and smile (missing a few teeth after the beating).

"On my way…" He says with a fear striken voice and limps down the hall. Patty begins to follow but her older sister stops her with a straight face.

"He needs to go do this himself Patty. Bout time he learned from his actions." Li states and turns with Patty giddily following her.


"URGH." Kid scoffs making his way to Crona's room. "This is ridiculous. Me having to apologize to that messy pink haired, uneven skirt wearing…" He mutters approaching the door of Crona's room. He knocks 8 times, his favorite number, and waits. He knocks 8 times again with no response. "Maka will kill me if I walk away without apologizing. Dang it." He says to himself.

He grabs the door handle and turns it, and to his suprise, the door was unlocked. He looks into the dark and dusty room. It had been uninhabited for some time, and Crona had appearently not cleaned yet.

"Hello...?…" Kid says looking around. He looks to the far edge of the room to see an open door to a balcony. He walks with hands in pockets to the door and sees Crona standing out and looking out at the setting sun. Kid stares for a moment, and after breathing deeply, walks beside Crona and leans over the rail himself to Crona's shock.

"Its you! Why did you come here? Are you going to hurt me? Please don't yell at me again, i wouldn't know how to handle it again." Crona asks backing up again in fear. Kid raises his head and gives his best assuring smile he can.

"No, jus trying to relax myself so I avoid going off. I see you like watching at the sun set?" Kid asks looking at Crona. Feeling a little bit of warmth from Kid's smile, Crona steps closer and begins to stutter when speaking.

"I-I actually do-don't l-like it…." Crona explains to Kid's curiousity. Crona goes on, losing the stuttering problem but tears start to form as the explanation continues "My mother, Medusa, locked me in a room… so much. I feel so happy to see the sun… its warmth and glow. It's light. Always there…" Crona says before the tears come out. Kid steps back awkwardly before relaxing.

It hurt Kid oddly to see Crona like this. Crying until coughing and looking so scared and weak. Kid did the only thing that in his heart felt right. He walked forward and motioned Crona to be held in his arms. He squeezed Crona hard, wanting to squeeze out all the tears possible so he didn't have to see them in Crona's eyes anymore. Crona was shocked, not more than an hour ago Kid was yelling that he had never seen something as disgusting as Crona, now Kid was squeezing all the pain away. It felt… good.

Crona squeezes Kid back. Instantly the squeeze turns into a soft and tender hug. They both stand there as the sun sets, and after awhile they both let go and look at each other. Kid looks into Crona's face, it looked different. Crona was smiling, but some dried tears still stained the smooth skin Crona possessed.

"Here, let me clean you up." Kid says wiping the tears with his thumbs as he held Crona's face in his hands. Crona's face filled with tears, making the large light blue eyes shine off the rising moons light. "Why are you crying, is this too much?" Kid asks worried at the sudden tears.

"No… it's pathetic really…" Crona mutters taking hold of Kid's hands and taking them from the face to hold them down between the pair and looking down trying to hide a small smile.

"What? Please tell me." Kid insists with persistency. Crona looks up and meets the young Shinigami's eyes. Kid's eyes widen at the surprising smile Crona now showed.

"You're the first person to really treat me kind. Not because you felt sorry for me… but because you truly cared. And it makes me so happy!" Crona yells in joy squeezing Kid's neck. Kid looks forward in shock. His heart was pumping rapidly… his throat was as dry as sand… he didn't know why, but this felt… right. Like this was supposed to be. He pushes Crona back, making the squeezed hug be broken up at Crona's shock and curiousity.

"Crona… I don't understand why the hell this is happening. It's so weird. You're the most unsymmetrical person I've ever met in my life. But… I just feel like I should… I should… OH DAMN IT ALL!!!" He yells before rushing his face into Crona's. Making his lips land right onto their target, Crona's lips. Crona becomes taken back, waning to break away, but it feels so right… so very, very right. Crona leans forward into the kiss, wanting to equal the joy and happiness Kid shared on his own end of this one meeting of lips. Kid breaks away slowly and opens his eyes back to Crona. He gives a warm and charming smile.

"That was… nice." Crona shakingly says in a happy tone. Kid chuckles and kisses Crona's forehead.

"Perfect actually." He says and hugs Crona hard. "Feels so perfect." He says and squeezes before breaking apart and holding Crona's hands in his. "No one can know about us. You're mother is one of my fathers worst enemies. And the others would give us so much crap its not funny." Kid explains. Crona gives a small smile and kisses Kid again. Pulls back with another smile and nods.

"I understand Kid. When we're both ready, we will tell everyone. But I don't care if no one knows for now, as long as you are happy-" Crona explains before Kid places two fingers and hushes Crona.

"I don't care about being happy, as long as you are." Kid says teasingly

"No you." Crona returns teasingly and flirtously.

"No you." Kid says again and clenches Crona's hands tighter. The new couple continue this for some time. But, at the door of Crona's room, and having seen the whole ordeal, Maka Albarn turns her head from the corner with a face of shock and awe.

"Oh… my… god…" She mutters and begins walking down the hall, with the look almost frozen on her face.
