(Soul Eater) Love is Blind
Title: Love is blind
Fandom: Soul Eater
Day/Theme: August 23 (2007)/ Look at the follies of love
Pairing: Death the kid/Maka
A/N: Um…I wanted to try it out. And humour, which is why this is crack-ish.
I seriously can’t wait for next month’s themes-they sound so pretty and amazing…
(And, in case you are wondering about the date, I keep a collection of all the prompts I haven’t used. They might be useful.)
On a side note, sorry for the long wait till I update. I’ll post soon. I’ll try to post soon. I wish I had really good writing to tempt you back with but this will have to do.

It was a strange day, a very strange day, when Patty and Liz noticed something had changed with Death the Kidd. Actually, it was more like Liz noticed it and the day was ridiculously perfect.
Too perfect, almost. There were nearly no mishaps with Kidd-no screaming at the sight of his hair, no yelling at Liz for not being like her sister, no fainting. It was like being on a holiday, it was so perfect. Liz almost found herself wishing everyday could be like this day, except she realized just how weird it would be.
She spent the day a little paranoid as Kidd even went to school. He was still the brat, insulting the teacher, but he stayed at school all day.
Liz accepted that. After all, he probably would get in trouble if he spent so long away from school and he wouldn’t want his attendance record to be marred with an uneven number of absences or a big red mark.
It was when Soul passed a crooked painting with only cringing, squinting, and a little running away that Liz grew suspicious.
Obviously, something had to be wrong with him.

Tsubaki glanced at Liz in surprise. “Really?”
“Yeah, the Kidd has been too perfect, so I knew something must be going wrong.” Liz sat beside the girl, watching her sister eat. Kidd was nearby, having let himself get dragged to the table where his friends were sitting. That was another odd thing. He hated eating in the cafeteria. “What do you think?”
“I wish Black Star had a day like that,” Tsubaki sighed. “We might actually pass our assignments then.”
Liz frowned. “I’m serious, something is wrong with him.”
Tsubaki watched Soul, Kidd, Black Star, and Maka for a few minutes. “Hmm…” Tsubaki said after a while.
Liz rested her head on the table. She was obviously not going to get to the bottom of this.
“Well,” Tsubaki finally continued, when they had a few minutes left to get to class. “I did notice he was with Soul and Maka a lot. And when Soul asked him to go to their apartment, he didn’t protest as much.”
Twitching, Liz groaned. “Again? We’re going to their place again? He’s been…” Stopping herself, she considered it for a moment. They had been going to Soul’s place a lot. And Soul had invited them.
Kidd was practically skipping in front of them. Or at least, as happy as he ever acted around them.
…That couldn’t mean that Kidd was in love, could it?
-x-
“Maka! Stop laughing!” Liz flushed, embarrassed. “Come on, it makes sense.”
“What? That Kidd is in love with Soul? Are you sure he’s gay even?” Maka snorted again, glad the two boys weren’t in the room for once to hear this. Soul would have…
Ohh…blackmail material. Maka grinned happily.
“Maybe. Two guys together, that would give some sort of symmetry. He might like that,” Liz argued. “I wish he’d look into asymmetry sometimes because our missions would go a whole lot faster, but he doesn’t.”
“Well, if we were to catch them in the act,” Maka suggested. “Soul might be gay, for all I know. We’ll have to lay a trap and take some photos. Or something.”
“…” Liz glanced nervously at the girl. She was far too happy with this situation. Still, she would be useful. Knowing she would regret this later, she nodded.
-x-
Maka was safely out of the room, trying to find a camera and Soul was busy getting something from across the hall.
All this left was Kidd and Liz. Patty was in the room too, of course, but she didn’t count at the moment. She gulped nervously, wondering how long it would take for Maka to set up the trap.
They were basically going to get Soul and Kidd together alone, in a small room, and…this was where the plan got sketchy. Liz wasn’t sure if Maka was going to take pictures or do something worse to them.
“Where’s Soul?” Maka asked as she entered the room, hiding the camera behind her back.
It was at that moment when Liz realized she was wrong. She had the right idea; Soul was in love, but with the wrong person. It was Maka.
(…so he did like asymmetrical sometimes?)
The way Kidd was still breathing when she walked in proved it. Well, his staring for a few minutes and slight blush too, but the fact he still had brain activity clinched it.
Maka’s pigtails were very obviously uneven, with some hair left out by accident. Her bands were different colours and one was looped three times while the other two. The shirt she was wearing had only one sleeve that reached her wrist and she was wearing a watch on the other. Her socks were different colours-one blue, one green-and her pants had uneven staining.
There was no way that Kidd could normally look at that and still be alive. It had to be love. They weren’t kidding when they said love was blind.
…uh oh, Liz thought as Soul walked in and an evil glint appeared in Maka’s eyes, Kidd loves Maka. Maka thinks he’s gay.
…I’m going to get hurt.

A/N: Humour is not my forte. Originally, this was going to be all Kidd’s point of view, but somehow it turned into Liz. And this ending had to be done twice due to word killing it.
I’ll be working on a Maka/Chrona for PointMeTo.A.Name and a Liz/Patty/Kidd one for…someone. I forgot their name. Sorry.
Requests are still open, if I managed to tempt anyone.
