Since the beginning of the school day the students of Shibusen were looking forward to the end of last period, which brought the beginning of the weekend. The weather outside was warm enough to play a friendly game of volleyball amongst the friends of Maka and Soul; the gym teacher instructed the group to change before they begin their game. Soul, Black Star and Death the Kidd slowly walked to the boy's locker room in a comfortable silence. Black Star began to speak about the top secret plan he had to steal the answers to the next test, without getting caught. Soul laughed at his enthusiasm as Kidd rolled his eyes but smiled as well.

They approached the locker, took their belongings and began to change in front of one another. Kidd pulled on his knee length uniform shorts with ease, as his right leg went through the fabric a loud rip echoed through the locker room. The reaper looked down at his accident and saw his gym shorts now have a large hole on one side. Black Star laughed at his friend's misfortune and looked over to Soul who was pulling his hair back with a thin headband.

Kidd looked up to his friends for help and asked if either had an extra pair of shorts, both shook their heads sadly. The reaper stood for a moment, pondering his options. After a few short moments he walked off towards the hallway where the dressed students were to wait, red eyes met blue in a questioning glance, their vision returned to their yellow eyed friend as they heard a sigh of relief. The reaper came back inside with an extra pair of shorts from Patty; Kidd held them up to signal that his problem was fixed. As he held them up his friends' expressions changed to concern and embarrassment for the naïve Kidd.

Soul was the first to speak as he watched Kidd pull the shorts over his boxers, "Kidd you do realize… those are the girls uniform shorts. They're much smaller than ours, why don't you just skip gym today?" The reaper pulled the shorts on and frowned at the fabric of the black boxers bunching up and sticking out from the edge of the navy pant legs. Kidd looked up at Soul's question and shook his head no, explaining that missing a gym class wouldn't look good for the son of the school director.

The scythe let out a sigh and laughed at Kidd's appearance, "Your boxers don't match the pants. Maybe a nice white pair of underwear would look good?" Black Star laughed at the joke and looked over to see Kidd's reaction.

The reaper brought his eyes down to the offending clothing and scowled, "Do you think I should just take the boxers off and wear the shorts?" Both Soul and Black Star stopped their taunting and looked at one another and then towards Kidd to see if he hadn't grown another head. The assassin began to laugh awkwardly and scratched the back of his neck, "I think I should go wait in the hallway, see you guys in a few…" Kidd, still pinching the exposed boxers, looked towards Soul for the answer.

The scythe blushed lightly while nodding lamely, looking towards the opened locker and quietly closing the door shut. Kidd raised an eyebrow but began to walk to the bathroom stalls where he would change his pants, again. Soul stood up at the shinigami's disappearance and went out in the hall to stand with his best friend. Black Star and Soul leaned against the wall of the white hallway with the rest of their gym class, waiting for the coach to make himself known. "Always late… we could have done ten laps around the school by now." Soul spoke. The assassin raised his eyebrows, "Is that a challenge? Because I would win and you know it Soul!" The scythe looked to his right and laughed at the tone of his friend's voice and shook his head, explaining he was just making a comparison which also seemed to appear as a border line complaint. The coach overheard Soul's comment and ushered he and Black Star to the field to arrange the volleyball nets outside.

"That wasn't so difficult… I just hope we get to be on the same team." Black Star mumbled as he tightened the knot around the pole. Soul hummed a response, he just wanted this class to be over to he could get home and take a nap. As the scythe stood his classmates emerged from the side door of the symmetrical school. Maka, Liz, Patty and Tsubaki trotted over, their faces red from giggling.

Black Star raised an eyebrow towards his weapon, "What's so funny Tsubaki? Did someone get in trouble with the coach?" The assassin began to giggle too, not exactly sure what the source of his laughter came from. Soul stood with his hands in the pockets, he scanned the area for Kidd to see if the shinigami just decided to skip class today. Soul thought to himself that he would skip if he was in the same situation as his odd friend.

The coach began to yell and screech for teams of three. Soul, Black Star and Maka were team one and their opponents, team two, were made of Patty, Liz and Tsubaki. Patty wore a look of concern on her face as she looked around for her miester, just as she was about to scream his name, Kidd came out from the side door of the school and ran towards his group of friends, with his face flushed a bright red. This was either from running or embarrassment, however everyone laid their eyes upon the shinigami's slim legs that shined brightly in the afternoon sun. Maka began to giggle as she extended her arm to Kidd; she pulled him onto the volleyball field with the other two boys.

"I'll sit this round out. Besides, Kidd you would prefer even teams wouldn't you?" Maka asked, a genuine smile shining on her face. The shinigami blushed lightly and nodded, he pulled his shorts down a bit, attempting to cover the insecurities he had about the lower half of his body. Patty giggled at her miester's struggles with her extra pair of shorts.

"Kiddo you look absolutely adorable! Turn around I wanna see your BUTT!" Patty screeched, running to the wrong side of the court. Kidd began running circles around his group of friends, desperately trying to get rid of his pistol. Liz picked Patty up by the collar of her shirt and gently placed the sister back into her spot. The elder sister calmed Kidd down and led him to the spot he was assigned, dead center.

Soul looked down at his hands during the whole chase, uninterested, while picking at his nails. As he looked up to focus his attention to the game he caught sight of Kidd bending over to pick up the volleyball, the scythe's cheeks flushed a deep pink. He couldn't turn his eyes away from the two perfectly round lumps placed very so nicely on his friend's behind. Soul's vision traveled downwards to get a view of the legs that connected the whole joyful sight. Kidd's legs were thin, yet curvy and seemed from a distance, completely hairless. The scythe watched as Kidd jumped up to tap the ball, everything seemed to go in slow motion, the reaper leapt up, curling his legs in an adorable manner. The white shirt lifted up from the wind he had created, showing a cute round bellybutton and porcelain skin underneath exactly matching the tone on his legs.

The other team member, Black Star got in a position to tackle the ball if it was to fly towards him, which it did. The orphan punched the ball hard, making it go straight up in the air. Kidd ran towards the white object and hopped on one foot, smacking the ball in Soul's direction. The white haired boy watched Kidd dumbly with a look only Blair would normally receive. The reaper shouted to his dazed friend and pointed to the ball flying towards him, Kidd focused his eyes to where Soul was staring. The reaper looked down at his legs shyly, and tried once again to pull his shorts down at least a little more. Kidd thought to himself that if he was an eyesore then no-one had to look at him, maybe he should stay in the back of the court.

The volleyball fell to the ground. Soul didn't budge from his stance. The scythe was still a rosy pink as he watched Kidd come towards him, Soul smiled slightly as he noticed that the reaper swings his hips as he walks. The shinigami came up to Soul and bent over to get the ball off the ground, as Kidd grabbed for the ball accidentally kicked it, causing it to roll into the bush. A warm summer breeze washed over the entire gym class, making the trees whisper in a relaxing tone. The wind resulted in Kidd's shirt to fly up and accidentally flash his slim pale torso, the reaper squeaked and brought the fabric back down to his chest. Soul's heartbeat sped up as he watched the blush spread over the little shinigami's face, the sight of his bare torso before had no effect on his mind. It's those damn shorts! Maka stretched her arms out and made a comfortable laying position on the lawn as she watched her friends play. The miester watched her weapon with amusement as he openly starred at Kidd's body.

"Heeyyy Soul! See anything good? I'm surprised you haven't bled from your nose yet!" Maka called tauntingly from her seat on the ground. Soul perked up from that statement and glared towards his miester with a faint blush glowing on his tan cheeks.

"Shut up!" The scythe called back lamely. Maka giggled manically and continued to watch. Kidd frowned, he knew they were talking about him and that hurt to see even Maka making fun of him. Sure he was wearing girls' shorts and yes his legs were unsymmetrical but he didn't think it was that noticeable. Kidd dug for the ball in the bushes and threw it hard at Soul's back causing him to burp really loud, the scythe began to laugh and turned to see the reaper running inside the building. Black Star took the ball and began to play the game again with Tsubaki who reluctantly agreed, she was more concerned with the young shinigami. Patty and Liz looked towards Maka, then Soul. The scythe starred at the door in disbelief, wondering why on Earth Kidd ran inside when there was a good thirty minutes left of class.

Without really thinking, the red eyed boy ran inside and began to look for his friend. The remaining people in the group began to play volleyball. Patty raised an eyebrow to her elder sister silently asking if they should go after their scythe friend to look for Kidd. Liz smiled knowingly, with that smile she explained that everything would be okay for their miester.
