Patti
Patti couldn't sleep. She'd been trying to, knew she was supposed to be sleeping. But she couldn't sleep. Despite years of living with Kid, there were nights when Patti still craved another body in the bed with her. Not sexually, just for the company.
She thought about going to Liz's room, but her sister was with Tsubaki and Patti didn't want to interfere with anything the two girls might be doing. She knew neither would mind- they were honestly probably sleeping and wouldn't care if Patti climbed into bed with them. But she was pretty sure they usually had sex early in the morning and they wouldn't if Patti was there. She didn't want to cockblock her sister (was it still called cockblocking if neither of them had a cock?).
Kid wouldn't be happy about it if she climbed into his bed- he would grumble and complain about symmetry- but he'd let her do it anyway. Which was how she ended up outside Kid's room at almost 1 in the morning, carefully opening his bedroom door. Inside, the room was completely black, but she could make out the lump that was Kid where he was curled near the edge of the bed. Weird, usually he slept on his back in the exact center of the bed. Oh well, maybe he moved in his sleep.
"Kid?" asked Patti as she approached the occupied side of the bed and poked the lump. "I'm lonely, I wanna sleep with you."
The lump groaned. Twice. Huh, that was odd. She didn't know Kid could groan twice. Unless…. "Kid?"
The disheveled head of her meister rose from the blankets, his gold eyes narrowed in an exhausted and half asleep glare. "Yes, Patti?"
Patti opened her mouth to speak, but a groan from the lump in the bed stopped her along with a familiar and very groggy voice. "Kid?"
That was Maka's voice. She knew the other meister well enough to recognize it, even if the girl sounded exhausted. What was Maka doing in Kid's bed though.
"Everything's alright Maka, you can go back to sleep," assured Kid as he shifted to glance under the blanket, presumably at his bed mate. Which was when Patti realized Kid wasn't wearing a shirt. Kid always wore clothes to bed- namely because she sometimes asked to sleep in his bed. Which probably meant…
The pile shifted again and an arm reached out for Kid, followed by a bare shoulder and, eventually the rest of Maka's clearly naked torso as she tried to pull him back down into the bed with her. "Then lay back down. You're letting the warm air out."
Chuckling, Kid gathered the other- yep very naked- meister against his chest and fell back into the bed. "You are so clingy when you're tired."
"And you're surprisingly warm, now sleep," muttered Maka as she snuggled into Kid's chest. "Gotta wake up early tomorrow."
"I know love, go back to sleep," assured Kid before he threw Patti a look that clearly said to leave and never mention this to anyone else. Yeah, she could do that.
Normally, Patti would have teased Kid some or even made a joke. But she was kind of scared of Maka, even though the girl had never made any kind of threatening move towards another girl. Besides, this was honestly too surreal for her to really process. Maybe it's just a weird dream? Yes, that's it. A weird dream. She would just go back to her bed. Or maybe just go sleep with Liz and Tsubaki instead. Yep, that sounded like a good idea.
Heading back out of the bedroom, she padded towards Liz's room instead and resolved to write this off as a dream.
Liz
Ugh, where was Kid?
Her normally insanely punctual meister was running insanely close to being what he considered late for his meeting with the death scythes. It was a weekly update that he ran to ensure everything was going well across the world, especially with the witches now being protected. It wasn't something he would usually risk missing, so where was he?
"Maybe he's in his office," muttered Liz as she turned down the hall that headed towards his office on the school grounds. It wasn't too far from the death room, which made it convenient to travel between the two. "I'm gonna give him such an ear full if he's having a freaking OCD attack about something stupid…"
A sound through the door stopped Liz's rant abruptly. It wasn't the screaming or whimpering she would have expected if Kid was having an OCD fit. No, it sounded more like-
There it was again, a muffled sound she couldn't place along with a quiet rumble of a voice. Immediate, Liz went on alert. That… that didn't sound good. Had someone infiltrated the school and managed to somehow nab Kid? It shouldn't be possible though- he's a full reaper and a lot more powerful than anyone else. There was no way someone could just grab him.
Creeping up to the door, Liz tried to press her ear to the wood but couldn't hear anything more than that muffled sound and the deep rumbling voice. She couldn't make out what was being said or what was going on. That just made her more concerned. There was no reason she could think of that she would be hearing anything remotely like that from Kid's office. She couldn't even tell if one of the voices was Kid. Maybe someone had broken into his office and Kid was elsewhere? Either way, she needed to investigate. There might be someone in trouble.
Taking a deep breath, Liz slowly depressed the door handle to ensure it wouldn't click and pushed the door open enough for her to peek inside.
The first thing she noticed were papers, pens, and what looked like the general office supplies Kid kept on his desk were scattered all over the floor as if hastily thrown there. Next was Kid's desk chair, which had been knocked over. It definitely looked like someone was ransacking the office. There was a sound she couldn't place though that she could hear now with the door cracked open. Another muffled cry cut though the room, but the person making the noise was still out of sight. She'd have to open the door a little more to be able to find whoever was in distress.
Carefully cracking the door further, Liz shifted so she could see further into the office and immediately wished she hadn't. For one thing, her Meister's naked ass was something she never wanted to see. Ever. Then there was the way he was clearly fucking the girl sprawled across his desk. His hand was muffling any noises she was making while both of her hands were dragging down his spine, leaving red welts in their wake. Both her legs were thrown around his waist as he leaned over her, muttering in her ear. Liz was very grateful she couldn't hear that.
Who the fuck is he even having sex with? wondered Liz as she tried to get a view of the girl on Kid's desk. He's not dating anyone, is he?
The girl let out a cry before her legs tightened on him. "Please, Kid, faster!"
Liz felt a cold shiver run down her spine. Maka?! Kid was fucking Maka?! Since when were those two sleeping together?! Was that why she was always up so early during the girls' sleepovers? Was she sneaking off to fuck Kid after they all went to bed?
Nope, she didn't want to know. Liz decided that immediately. Did not want to know, did not need to know. Mentally, Liz groaned. She really needed to get Kid to that meeting, or else he was going to freak out. Maybe she could stall the death weapons somehow?
Before she could further formulate a plan, Maka let out cry and dragged Kid down fully onto her as he groaned. Liz was quick to look anywhere but at the pair- namely because she didn't want to see what either of them looked like after that.
It was a moment before Maka spoke up, her breath still heavy. "I think I love the autumn time change. That extra hour in your schedule is amazing."
"Isn't it?" agreed Kid, his own breathing evening out. "If you give me ten minutes, we should have time for one more before the meeting."
"Just make sure you don't mark up my neck," insisted Maka. There was a pause before she reminded him: "Papa is going to be at that meeting and I don't want to deal with his protective bullshit."
"We do need to tell him eventually," pointed out Kid gently. There was some shuffling and it sounded like Kid's chair got righted in the process. When Liz glanced back into the room, the chair was upright and Kid was seated in it- still naked- with Maka -also still naked- in his lap.
Maka snorted. "We need to tell a lot of people eventually."
Kid hummed and leaned forward to kiss Maka's neck. "Do we want to discuss that now?"
"Absolutely not," countered Maka as she lifted his head and kissed him on the lips. "What did I say about my neck? I don't want to wear turtlenecks for a week, again."
Liz remembered that week. It was at the beginning of the year and Maka had constantly worn high neck sweaters or turtlenecks every day for a week- even inside the sweltering school. How long had this been going on?! It was freaking November!
Wait, had Maka said she loved the time change…? Oh fuck. They'd moved the clocks back by an hour. Which meant the death weapon meeting had already happened. Then Kid had an hour break before he had a meeting with the school staff… fuck.
Checking that Kid and Maka were distracted, Liz quietly closed the door the same way she'd opened it. She was getting Kid a 'do not disturb' sign for his door. There was no way she ever wanted to see any of that ever again.
Tsubaki
Sighing, Tsubaki made her way into the forest that had been commandeered by the DWMA in search of some peace and quiet. She adored Black*Star. He was her meister and her friend. But, as her girlfriend was fond of saying, he was a real pain in the ass sometimes. And right now he was on some training kick he swore would make him stronger.
She needed a break.
The noise from the DWMA began to die away the further she got from the school grounds. Likely, she would be the only one in the woods during the break between classes, which gave her the opportunity to just relax a little.
Wandering along, she hummed slightly as she allowed the sound of birds and the soft whistle of the wind through leaves to lull her. It was a peace hard to find in the normally busy halls of the DWMA. She was honestly grateful she didn't have to come here as much anymore. Black*Star came here because of Soul. She came to make sure that Black*Star didn't cause too much trouble and to see Liz. At least the forest was a comfortable retreat from the hustle and bustle of the school.
A peace that was abruptly shattered by a broken sounding curse. "Shit, Maka!"
Immediately, Tsubaki slowed her pace to a stop, tiling her head in response to the strange sound she had definitely never heard before. The person who cursed had sounded remarkably like Kid, but that didn't make sense. Why would Kid be cursing anyone, especially Maka, in the forest.
"Shit!" cursed the voice again (definitely Kid), allowing Tsubaki to determine where, exactly, he was. He sounded like he was in distress after all and she wouldn't leave him like that if she could avoid it.
Moving towards where the last cry came from, Tsubaki stepped around a tree and froze at the edge of a clearing. Oh, that… that was not what she was expecting. It was enough to make Tsubaki jump back behind the tree and peek around.
She'd expected Kid. She'd expected him to be somewhat in distress. She had not expected Maka to be with him or for her tt be kneeling in front of him with his dick down her throat. There were a number of scenarios Tsubaki had been prepared to walk in on- Kid getting a blowjob in the forest wasn't one of them.
Peeking around the tree, Tsubaki suddenly understood that Kid wasn't actually in distress. Not with the way his hands were buried in Maka's hair, gripping her normal pigtails like they were handlebars. He wasn't thrusting forward either- the grip looked more like a way for him to ground himself than to take control. No, Maka was clearly in control with the way she was pinning his hips in place and the way she was clearly teasing him. Kid didn't appear to be objecting either.
Well… this raised some questions. Honestly, she had always assumed that Maka and Soul would date eventually. Seeing this though, she had to wonder if Soul knew about this, whatever this was. She'd never taken either Kid or Maka for casual individuals where relationships or sex were concerned, but maybe they were? Maybe that was why she hadn't heard anything about this? She should ask Liz, Liz would know.
Creeping back, Tsubaki was quick to disappear into the woods once more, heading back for the school. Yes, she'd ask Liz about this. Liz was bound to know something.
Black*Star
“Alright, I’m finally going to get the drop on Kid!” muttered Black*Star as he carefully scaled the side of Death Manor. He’d learned to be quieter in the years that had passed, but he still couldn't help vocalizing his intentions- it was just done far more quietly now. Which was good, because he was determined to beat Kid and become a god. And today would be the first step to that day! He would get the drop on Kid while he was in his office. He’d never successfully snuck up on Kid before due to his soul perception, but he’d been working on masking his soul and he thought he might have it right now! He might even be able to sneak up on Maka! He’d have to try that next.
The stones around the outside of Death Manor were difficult to scale, but he was a ninja! Scaling buildings was easy for him! Of course, Black*Star had a lot of experience scaling this particular building due to all his previous attempts to catch Kid unawares. However, he was determined to succeed today! “Today, I move towards becoming a god!”
He repeated that line several more times as he scaled the building, carefully moving towards the window he knew led to Kid’s office. The light was on, which meant Kid would be in (he didn’t leave lights on when he wasn’t in a room- conveniently). Reaching the window, Black*Star couldn’t help the laughter that escaped him or the muttered “I have you now, Kid!” that escaped him as he pulled out a knife to jimmy the lock on the window. The window was immediately behind Kid’s desk, which meant Kid’s back would be to him. That would give him an advantage!
He shoved the knife into the window frame where he knew the lock was and was about to try and jimmy it open when a loud groan reached his ears. What the-?
Glancing through the window, Black*Star felt his jaw drop- as it was, he barely held onto the ledge to avoid plummeting two stories to the ground. Because the groan had come from Maka, who was spread out on Kid’s desk with Kid’s head under her skirt. Her shirt was open along with her bra, her hands playing with her breasts as Kid just went to town on her. And that was definitely what Kid was doing if the way his head was moving was any indication. Damn, he wouldn’t have thought Kid, of all people, would be good at oral. Idly, he wondered if the reaper needed to breathe and how good he would be at sucking cock.
"Kid!” whined Maka, one had leaving her breast to grab his head and drag him out from under her skirt. “In me. Now!”
“Impatient,” countered Kid as he climbed to his feet and did something with his pants. “You like being bent over my desk, don’t you? Maybe I need to tease you while we work more often.”
“Then we’d never get anything done,” groaned Maka as her legs rose to wrap around Kid’s waist. “Now, fuck me.”
Black*Star leaned closer, pressing his face to the window as he watched Kid’s hips thrust forward. Unfortunately the shift meant he lost his grip and went crashing to the ground. The sound of his shout was drowned out by Maka’s own as Kid pushed into her, which was the only thing that saved him from discovery.
Crashing to the ground hard, he let out a groan as he stared up at the sky. “Well, fuck, didn’t see that coming.”
He’d have to tell Patti and Liz. And Tsubaki. They’d get a kick out of this. And Soul… Oh shit, Soul. Damn, his best friend was going to be heartbroken when he found out.
Spirit
He had to admit, Kid threw a good party. The new Lord Death (he wondered when Kid would stop being considered the ‘new’ Lord Death and just be Lord Death- he’d been at the job for five years now), knew how to throw a party and seemed to enjoy doing precisely that. Usually, the parties were thrown for a reason, but occasionally, he would throw them for a much smaller group of people- namely his friends and other graduates from the DWMA who had been in the same class as him.
Though he was now their boss, most of the students still treated him as one of them, albeit with deference to his position when appropriate. Spirit was impressed- he wasn’t sure he could do the same if he’d gone to school with the old Lord Death as his equal. Still, the students didn’t seem to mind.
This particular party was a bit more expanded. It didn’t include all the current students, but did include most of the people currently working under Lord Death- sort of the DWMA version of an office party. Stein and Marie had even come- though they’d brought their son along. The little one had just turned 4, but was still clinging to his parents except for Maka and Kid, who he seemed very happy to interact with. No fear of Kid in sight- it was impressive.
That probably explained why the little boy suddenly bolted when he spotted Kid. Marie tried to grab him, but the little boy was too quick and soon had his arms wrapped around Kid’s leg. It would have been funnier if Kid hadn’t been trying to have what appeared to be a serious conversation with Azura.
Maka saved him by scoping up little Thor and propping him on her hip. The little boy seemed perfectly happy with that arrangement and wrapped his arms around Maka’s neck as he started babbling at her. Kid shot her a grateful look, though he took a moment to ruffle Thor’s hair and say something to the child before Maka started to carry him back to an embarrassed looking Marie.
“Maka certainly does well with kids.” Stein’s voice made Spirit jump almost a foot in the air. The man was a damn nuisance!
“Damnit Stein, don’t do that!” demanded Spirit as he rounded on his former Meister. “You need a damn bell!”
Stein just smirked and ignored the comment, tucking his hands inside his usual lab coat. Clearly, he hadn’t felt the need to dress up for the occasion. “Wonder how long it’ll be until she has her first.”
Spirit sputtered in outrage, glaring the man. “Maka is far too young to even be thinking about kids! You take that back!”
“A lot of women start thinking about kids at 21,” remarked Liz from behind Stein. Spirit glanced over at her where she was standing with the rest of the group that had made up Maka's friend circle at school. She took a drink and shrugged. “It’s not really a big deal.”
“Oh please, Maka doesn’t even have a serious boyfriend yet!” objected Spirit firmly, scowling at Liz. “And she’s too young for one! She can’t have a serious boyfriend until she’s at least 30!”
“Have you told her that?” asked Soul, the little punk. Well, he wasn’t so little now- he was about as tall as Spirit at this point.
“Not recently,” replied Spirit, shrinking a little at Soul’s words. He pouted as he sought out Maka again, who was moving now towards the stage and following behind Kid. They each had a glass of champaign in hand and, based on the way Kid was moving, he guessed the young man was heading to make a speech. He usually did near the start of these things.
Sure enough, as Kid stepped up onto the elevated space where the band was playing, the room fell quiet. Even the band ended their song, in difference to the reaper. As soon as the late notes had faded, Kid tapped his glass near the microphone to ensure he had everyone’s attention before he cleared his throat.
“Good evening everyone,” greeted Kid, his voice and stance regal as always. “Thank you all for joining us here tonight. First, I would like to thank everyone who helped put this event together, notably Maka, who helped keep me sane through the planning of this, and of course Liz, who was a huge help in organizing everything. Now, before the night gets going, I have an invitation I would like to issue to all of you and an announcement to make.”
Suddenly, Kid turned toward Maka, holding a hand out to help her up onto the stage. It was the first time Spirit had really been able to fully see his little girl and she looked gorgeous in the black and white dress with her long white gloves and a white stripe up the front with black ribbon lacing over it. It looked like something a princess should wear. His little princess!
“Though most of you know Maka, I would like to reintroduce her tonight as my future Lady Death,” announced Kid, his eyes never leaving Maka.
“WHAT?!” shouted Spirit as horror swept over him. No, no! His little girl was too young to get married! Especially to someone like Lord Death! He wasn’t good enough for Maka! Being the new Grim Reaper didn’t make him good enough for his little girl! “NO! MAKA! BABY GIRL, TELL HIM NO!”
Stein grabbed Spirit as he tried to bolt towards the stage while Maka shot him a dirty look and stepped closer to Kid. Kid! That sneaky little bastard!
“Furthermore, we would like to extend an invitation to everyone here to our wedding in the spring,” continued Kid as if Spirit hadn’t said anything. The reaper then had the gall, THE GALL, to pick up Maka’s hand and kiss it, which is when Spirit spotted the skull ring on her finger. The one that perfectly matched the ones Kid wore on his fingers. “We will send out formal invitations, of course, but please view this as an initial invitation- we would appreciate having our friends and family present. Thank you, and please enjoy our engagement party.”
Kid motioned for the band to start back up as he turned to Maka and offered her his arm as he stepped down. She took it and followed, falling into perfect step with him as they moved back into the crowd of people. Spirit tried to break away again, but Stein held him firm.
“I’m going to chloroform you if you don’t knock it off,” remarked Stein mildly as the crowd began to murmur. Apparently, no one had been aware that Kid and Maka were even dating, much less engaged.
“No! I need to force that boy away from my precious, pure Maka!” shouted Spirit as he again tried to wiggle away.
Stein sighed. “Fine, you asked for this.”
Spirit felt a slight bit of give for a second. He tried to break free, but a hand and cloth clamped over his mouth before he could. “NO! My baby Maka!”
The room swam for a moment, then Spirit felt himself fall into darkness.
Soul
Soul watched Maka and Kid walk off the stage and head towards Marie, who looked fit to bursting. Thor broke away from his mom as soon as they were close and clung onto Kid again, who swept the boy up this time. Maka smiled as the little boy reached for her as well, wrapping his arms around her too. It pressed the two together, but they didn’t seem to mind. Mentally, Soul swapped Thor for a little boy with black hair and emerald eyes. They were gonna have the cutest kid- he just knew it.
“I’m moving out of the manor,” declared Liz, drawing Soul’s attention back to their group. Her eyes moved to Tsubaki as she added: “I think it’s time we moved in together. I’m not going to run the risk of walking in on them, again.”
Tsubaki nodded and leaned her head on the taller girl’s shoulder. “We should find a place.”
“Wait, you walked in on them?” asked Patti in clear confusion. “I thought I was dreaming when I found Maka in Kid’s bed one night!”
“Nope, definitely not dreaming,” stated Liz with a shake of her head. “I walked in on them actually having sex in his office at school. I never wanted to see that.”
“I caught Maka, um, taking care of Kid in the forest outside the DWMA,” offered Tsubaki, a blush crossing her face.
Black*Star scoffed. “I caught them in his office at the manor! Apparently, Maka likes to be bent over his desk.”
“Okay, more than I needed to know,” remarked Soul with a scowl at the ninja. “Also, what were you doing in his office in the manor?”
“I wasn’t in the office, I was outside the window of the office!” exclaimed Black*Star with a scoff. “I was trying to get the drop on Kid, but Maka started making noises and I got distracted.”
“Ugh, you are such a pervert,” remarked Liz with a scowl as she punched Black*Star on the head.
“Hey!” shouted Black*Star in irritation. “I didn’t know they were having sex when I climbed up there!”
“Ugh!” groaned Liz as her attention turned back to Kid and Maka. “Still, I didn’t know they were this serious. I wonder how long this has been going on.”
“About two years,” offered Soul as he sipped his champaign and turned his attention back to the couple. Thor had released Kid entirely and was clinging to Maka like she was his mom, babbling at her in the way only four year olds can while Kid fielded what loves like congratulations from various people who approached them. “Though they were quasi-dating before that. Or at least flirting a lot. It took a while for Kid to actually ask Maka out though- apparently he thought she was dating me.”
“Wait, how do you know all of that?” asked Liz, her voice full of shock.
Soul glanced back at his friends once more. “Oh, she told me when Kid asked her out.”
“What?!” shouted his friends in surprise, the group surrounding him.
Soul winced and rubbed his ears. “Geez guys, volume.” When he glanced up and saw them staring at him expectantly though, he let out a sign and explained. “Look, it was like this…”
------------------------------------------------------
“Soul, you’re never going to guess what happened!” Maka’s excited voice cut through the living room of the apartment before she almost slammed the door as she came bounding in.
Soul looked up from his piano, fingers still hovering over the keys as Maka flopped onto the couch. “What’s up, Maka?”
She looked at him and gave him a borderline giddy look. “Kid asked me out!”
Soul smirked, turning all the way around to face her. “Finally. I was wondering when he was going to get off his ass. I told him you were single almost a week ago. Your flirting and sexual tension has been killing me.”
“Wait, what?!” asked Maka in surprise as she sat up again from where she’d flopped back on the couch. “What are you talking about?”
“I’m talking about the way Kid stares at you like you’re a symmetrical goddess when he thinks no one is looking and the way you two flirt with each other in your own nerdy way,” explained Soul with a snort as he leaned carefully back so he was resting against his piano’s keyboard. “I thought Kid was gonna spontaneously combust that time we all went to the beach and you were in that skimpy bikini of yours.”
Maka turned bright red at the suggestion, her hands gripping the pillows of the couch. “Why didn’t you say anything?”
“Because I was waiting for you to notice and for him to get his head out of his ass and ask you out,” replied Soul with a smirk. “Apparently, he thought we were dating.”
“What?” squawked Maka in surprise. “Why?”
“We’re close,” explained Soul with a shrug. “I assured him that we tried to date and it worked for all of two weeks before we called it off.”
“It was more like a month,” pointed out Maka as she slumped back into the couch. “How long have you known?”
“That Kid likes you?” asked Soul with a shrug as he stood and headed for the kitchen to make them tea. “Years. I’m pretty sure he started to crush on you when the Spatori were still together.”
“R-really?!” asked Maka, her footfalls following him into the kitchen. “Why didn’t you say anything?”
Soul shrugged and put the kettle on the stove. “I figured it was better if you realized it for yourself or he asked you out. You did say yes, right?”
“Yes, I did,” admitted Maka, her feet scuffing the ground slightly. “You’re okay with this, right? Me going on a date with your boss?”
“He’s your boss, too,” pointed out Soul with a shrug as he turned to look at her. “You’re happy, right?”
“That he asked me out? Yes,” confirmed Maka with a nod, the blush coming back. “I’ve thought he was attractive for a while.”
“Since our Spatori days,” confirmed Soul with a smirk. At Maka’s deepening blush, he added: “The appreciative looks were hard to miss.”
“Kid is attractive,” muttered Maka with a sigh. She crossed her arms with a pout, though she shot a look at him from the corner of her eyes. “Thank you, Soul.”
Soul just nodded and lifted the whistling kettle from the stove. “Just let me know if he does anything you don’t like and I’ll take care of him- Lord Death or not. Can you grab the cups?”
-----------------------------------------------------
“So you’ve known this whole time and just not bothered to warn any of us?” asked Liz with a scowl. “Jerk.”
Soul shrugged. “It wasn’t my place to say anything. Besides, if something had gone wrong, it might have gotten awkward.”
“So you just knew they were fucking each other this whole time, unbelieveable,” muttered Liz grumpily as she sipped her champaign.
Soul smirked a bit, taking another sip of his drink before adding: “Actually, they didn’t start fucking until the third date. They haven’t let up since.”
The sound of Liz choking on her drink was music to his ears.
