Chapter One: Right of Passage
A groan of pure passion echoed into the night. Soul looked down at his partner. The slim blond looked a bit troubled, but otherwise she seemed no different. Her pallid heart shaped face was slightly turned to the side, her emerald eyes seemed, as usual—deep in thought.
"Are you okay? We can stop if you want..."
Maka's gaze shifted to Soul and shook her head. No, she'd decided a while ago that she'd give him everything and now she truly meant it. Besides, her feelings wouldn't change even after the fact that they were now occupied with serious matters. "The Forbidden Act" as her father would say. God, if Spirit saw how she and Soul were sprawled on her bed—he'd probably kill her lover.
Soul leaned down and kissed her neck tenderly, and Maka shivered. A reflex action; Soul was driving her crazy with that. His lips were warm and soft , as well as addictive. Maka ran a hesitant hand through his fluffy white hair. How was she to bring it up?
"Soul," she said, as he brought an enticing finger up and traced her exposed collarbone. "Are you...scared?"
He stopped his teasing and brought his face to her hers quickly. "Maybe, a lot." Soul expressed this as a matter of fact. "I'm just afraid that I'll hurt you—or worse."
"I've heard it always hurts," she looked past him. "Your first time...at least for girls. But I don't really care. I love you Soul."
"But what if your father finds out?" Soul smiled despite the risk. " Spirit would probably slaughter me if he knew."
"Yeah, but I'll protect you," giggled Maka. She entwined her fingers in his hair and pulled his face towards her own to match up their lips. He grinned, and kissed her more violently, his arm buried in her wheat-colored locks. Maka suddenly pulled away and hid her face in the pillow. They'd kissed before, but certainly not like that.
"That's strange..." murmured Soul."What's wrong?"
Maka's reply was a slightly insane giggle. "Your teeth hurt!" she said. "I...wasn't expecting that."
He gave a sinister smile. "Well, what did you expect?" His hands were wandering towards her thighs, and he lay on top of her heavily. "...are you sure this is what you want?" She started to unbutton his pants, and tried to slip them off.
"Of course, Soul-chan. Of course."
Soul fought down a shiver. He did not know what it was about Maka's voice in that moment, but it was just so, so, decided. As if everything was set in stone. Like giving up your virginity was just a right of passage. Well, in a way it was...
