Compliments and curtain, want to dance?

"You ready Kiddo?" Liz asked as she peaked through the curtains which separates him from the crowd.

Adjusting the skull on his bow tie, he nodded and simply said, “Of course.”

Liz smiled at him, “Ok, I’ll tell the emcee to introduce you now.” She waved him off but came back again, “just a heads up, I lost Patty a moment ago while talking to Tsubaki…” she said, leaving the area as soon as possible before the reaper could even react.

"Pa-patty, Bla-black*Sta- No! Kid, focus! Don’t get distracted! Don’t get distracted like the last time." He slapped both of his cheeks to make him more feel alive and focused.

"Ladies and gentleman! Put your hands together for the new! Lord DEATH! Death the Kid!" As soon as the emcee announced him, the curtains slid open and revealed Kid, applause came into an uproar, even some whistles can be heard. He was handed a mic. to begin with his speech. He didn't speak until the noise died down. He started nice and slowly, and thankfully, he finished it without any interruptions.

"I won’t be taking your time any more, enjoy the evening." He finished, making the audience clap again. He stepped down from the stage to talk to some staff, occasionally take pictures with some freshmen girls.

At the far side corner of the massive dance hall sat Maka Albarn. Sitting at a circular table, eating the food she got from the island of foods from the side.

"Yo Maka, you might get fat if you won’t stop eating." Soul sat at the chair next to her, taking a rest from dancing.

"Be glad I don’t have a book with me." She warned him, pointing a fork with a meat stuck on it.

"CHOMP!" Black*Star ate the meat on the fork, making Soul laugh and Maka look in utter shock and disgrace.

"BLACK*STAR!" She screeched, furious at her blue haired friend.

"That was yummy!" He licked his lips.

"That’s it! Book or no book! MAKA-" Dark auras surrounded Maka as she stood up from her sit.

"CHOP!" She exclaimed, letting her hand fall down to Black*Star’s thick skull. The force made them shiver but Black*Star got the most pain out of it.

"Damn woman!" Black*Star whined as he rubbed his aching head. A laughing Soul on the side, Patty joined in as well.

"Damn your butt, I was eating one of the most delicious thing in my life! Then you get to destroy it!" She pouted, grabbing her plate at held it closer to her, being all protective.

"OooooH Don’t mess with Maka!" Patty mocked at Black*Star, laughing as hard as she can with Soul.

"Why I’oughta-" He was cut off when a group of girls came up to him.

"Umm… Can we take a pictuer of you? Black*Star kun?" A shy girl asked him.

"SURE! FOR MY FANS OUT THERE COME AND GATHER!" He took off.

"Well, that was new." All of them sweat dropped at the weird event.

"Hmmmm, since we defeated the Kishin, many people became nice to me." Patty said. "Maybe I can use that to make them do something for me!" With that she left laughing like a crazy girl she is.

"Well, that, is not new." Soul pointed. "I’m going to get some drink at the punch, you want?" He asked Maka.

"No thanks, I’mma look for my Papa. He said he wants to meet me, so, what the heck, maybe a fresh start will be alright." She replied, standing up as well.

"Well good luck with that." They went there separate ways, Soul to the punch bowl and Maka to the dance floor.

Looking around, Maka’s eyes sat upon a red haired man, dancing with a big breasted blonde witch.

"Oh bother…" She sighed knowing there wouldn’t be any fresh start happening. She felt heavy and warm, anger, she thought. She walked away from the dance floor and placed herself at wall covered in a red curtain. She leaned back at the ‘wall’ but she fell back onto and landed on her but. She closed her eyes at the pain, rubbing her bottom to soothe the throbbing pain, falling in a dress is quite humiliating, good thing there was this curtain shielding her from the eyes of the other guests.

"Ouch that hurts." She stood up, eyeing her surroundings, she awed at the beautifully lit starry night sky. It seems that she’s on a little balcony, a curtain separating the amazing view, the music from the dance floor can still be heard making the view more breath taking. She went closer to the rails, planting her palms on it, letting the cool breeze calm her, letting it wash all her anger from the previous events.

"Well what do we have here?" A familiar voice resounded behind her. She quickly turned her head to look at the trespasser.

"Oh hi Ki- I mean Lord Death." She corrected herself just on time.

"Please. Call me Kid." He raised a hand to stop any comebacks from her.

"Ok. Kid." She said sarcastically, "What are you doing here?"

"Just taking a breather." He leaned at the rails next to her. "And you?" He asked, crossing his arms and taking in deep breaths.

"I accidentally fell here." She looks up at the stars again.

"Accidentally fell?" He looks up as well making the girl beside him laugh awkwardly.

"I thought there was a wall there, I leaned back and poof, butt pain." She explained, making the reaper chuckle. "I mean, there should be a sign that says ‘not a wall’ or something." She pouted, remembering the pain in her but.

"Sorry sorry, I guess that’s my fault, I wanted the place to be symmetrical. They said that they don’t have enough time to construct a balcony on the other side so they just covered it with curtains. But after the party I’ll make sure that there would be another balcony." He ended with a firm nod to himself.

"Hmmmmmmmm…" She hummed in response, looking at the distance and feel the soothing breeze.

"Beautiful, isn't it." Kid commented.

"Huh? oh yeah…"

"The sky, the stars, the music… perfect." Kid named each and every beautiful thing he notice. "Including you." She faced him as quick as lightning.

"What?" She asked, not believing what she just heard.

"You. You’re beautiful tonight." He said, not taking his eyes off of the starry night sky.

"Umm… uhh.. thank you I guess." She blushed at his comment, hands finding it’s way to her dress, fumbling on the pink ruffles. "You look dashing and fancy as always, may I say." She said, patting her dress and putting her hands at the railings again.

"Why, thank you." He smiled at her. "You look symmetrical as always, may I say… In fact, can we dance? I can’t have another chance to dance with a symmetrical girl like you again." He offered his hand to hers.

"Umm.. ok, I’m not good at dancing though…" She awkwardly reached out. Once her palm sat on his, he dragged her to the middle of the balcony, placed his free hand to her waist and started swaying to the music.

"Truly, you are the most symmetrical one out of all the girls here!" He said as he twirled her around.

"Darn it Kid, stop flattering me or the next comment will be how my Maka chop is so painful." Maka giggled at her warning, making Kid chuckle with her.

"Sorry, I think it really is awkward talking about it…hmmm… What are you gonna do once you graduate at DWMA?" He asked, "I know graduation is still far away but… still…" he added.

"Well, be a teacher I guess? It’s actually up to you, since you’re gonna deploy us to some branches…"

"Oh right… well then… can you be my personal assistant then?" He asked. She looked up to see his eyes locked on to hers.

"I don’t think Lord Deaths need personal assistant." Maka was downright confused, she had never heard of a shinigami having a P.A.

"Lord deaths DO need personal assistants." Kid defended.

"What about your father? Does he have a P.A.?" She asked in a curious way, not in a offending way.

"Well yeah, he doesn't have one, but…" The music went a little slower, indicating a slow dance. At the slow beat, he took a step closer to her, guiding her other hand to his shoulders and planting his to her waist. Swaying at the slow music.

"I need you to be my personal assistant…" He whispered, golden eyes stared intensely at her green eyes, at that point they were just standing close, not caring to dance anymore.

Various thoughts came rushing down to her mind, how close he was to her, how the music made things right, how his face is more beautiful than the night sky, how he said he needed her. Over acting as it may sound but, she felt like her knees are giving up.

"Yes…" She barely breathed out, can’t contain the warmth she was feeling. At her approval Kid smiled and leaned his forehead to hers.

"I can’t wait." He whispered. They’re gaze went a little longer than any of them expected, if it wasn't for a Spirit calling Maka and for Ms. Marie calling Kid they wouldn't be separated.

"I really enjoyed your company Maka." He said, lifting his head up and kissed her forehead, "Thank you." He said as he looked at her flustered face.

"Umm.. uh… thank you as well…" Maka stuttered, clearly not knowing what to do in this kind of situations.

Kid chuckled at her adorable stuttering. He let go of her, to their disappointment, and went to the curtains, before he left, he looked back at her.

"Before I go.. I just want to say how perfect you are." He said. Leaving a blushing Maka in the middle of the balcony.
