ooooooooo

Kid Pov

I kept having nightmares. Well...maybe one, but it kept going...kept changing on me...It just grew and grew into one continuous hell until finally I couldn't take it and awoke gasping for air, my eyes shooting open and darting all about the room, barely recalling where I was and what was happening.

I saw Stein standing over me, worry overtaking his normally stoic features and I could vaugely feel the cool damp cloth he pressed to my forehead. Had he been up watching me all this time? Was my condition that serious?

As my breath slowed and I regained my senses, Stein broke the tense air. "I have some water here, whenever you're ready for it. It might help,"

I nodded half-heartedly and tried to sit up but was quickly stopped by the pain that was once just gradually climbing over my form. Now however, every movement hurt like hell.

"Kid, please don't move," Stein replied, easing me back down and bringing a straw to my lips. I detested being taken care of like this but I knew that with whatever was happening to me, I didn't have much choice. Taking the straw between my lips, I was grateful for the ice water filling my parched mouth and sliding down my throat. It seemed this was the one thing that didn't make me want to scream in agony. "You're body is under a lot of stress right now," he tried explaining, setting the cup back on the nightstand. "I hate to say it, but I think I was right...What that witch did...you aren't going to like it..."

"What do you mean?"

"I think you should call Chrona again in the morning," he said instead, not answering me. "Tell her that your conditioned worsened and you need to be quarentined until further notice,"

"...No."

"Pardon?" He questioned, twisting his screw.

"I told her I'd be home by eight. I don't care what happened. It isn't enough to make me break a promise to Chrona. She means too much to me,"

He sighed, but nodded in understanding. "You're call,"

He said it, but I could tell he didn't like it.

Chrona POV

I didn't sleep. How could I, knowing that Kid-kun wasn't there like he always was. It was so strange being in that large bed all by myself when I was so used to him holding me to his chest, trailing his fingers through my hair and quietly humming some strage song until I fell asleep.

I sighed sadly, clutching his pillow to me and inhaling the smell of him so it felt more like he was there. Liz didn't say what happened or what condition he was in. In fact, she tried to look like it was nothing to worry about.

But there was something in her eyes...Something was off...She knew that Kid was hurt and she wasn't telling me anything. And even Kid...He didn't say anything when he called but I knew that he was in pain. His voice had an unsure sound...Like his soul was shaking inside of him. Not really from fear but...something else...

Stein POV

He's gunna be pissed.

I don't need to wait to see him wake up. I already know that Kid's going be furious when he saw the state he was in.

I know that as a scientist, I'm supposed to be rather pleased when I'm proven right but this was one time that I wished I had been wrong.

Nothing more to do now though than to light up a cigarette and pray he didn't take his anger out on me.

As he began to shift in his sleep I watched on, knowing he was about to wake up and trying to think of how to phrase this situation delicately.

Kid POV

When I woke up I was afriad to move. I didn't want to be overcome with sickness but as I noted the rising sun I remembered my promise to Chrona...that I'd be there by eight.

Groaning, I pulled myself up into a seated position, finding it unusally difficult to do so.

"You're awake," It was a blunt statement. I knew it was just his way of breaking the ice.

I didn't bother answering, instead rubbing my palms over my face in attempt to quicken the process of getting the drosiness out of my eyes. I rubbed my neck a bit to rid myself of the stiffness as I took my surroundings in...

As well as something else...

"...Professor?"

"Yes?"

"...Is this what you meant before? What the witch did?"

"...Yes."

"..." I had no idea what to say...But who could blame me? If you suddenly woke up as the opposite gender, you'd be shocked too!
