"Hey, Kid!" Maka yelled, running up the hallway to catch up with Liz, Patti, and Kid.
"Maka!" Kid blushed as he saw her running up to greet her. Kid had recently developed feelings for the blonde haired girl, liking her more every second their eyes met.
"Maka, slow down. Don't run like that, you'll get hurt!" Soul joked as he wrapped is arms around Maka's waist and kissed her cheek.
"I'm pretty sure we have been through enough to get to know I won't get hurt too bad just by falling," Maka turned around and turned the slight kiss on the cheek into a passionate kiss, embracing her boyfriend.
"STOP RIGHT NOOOWWW!" Maka's dad ran through the hallway, separating the two lovebirds. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, MISTER? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO MY LITTLE MAKA!?" He turned to Maka, "Now, where did the bad man touch you, my little girl?"
"Sir-" Soul started but was interrupted by Spirit, Maka's dad.
"DON'T THINK I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU! YOU LITTLE B-"
Suddenly a large, white, square-like hand came down and threw Spirit through the floor with the words following, "Reaper chop!"
"Thank you... So much..." Soul gasped.
Maka ran off, tears stirring in her eyes. How could her father embarrass her like that again? Doesn't he love her? Doesn't he want her to be happy? She ran upstairs and eventually made it up to the roof. She sat next to one of the spikes, the one coming through the nose to be exact. She was too busy crying to even notice the heart carved into the spike with the simple words carved into it that could change her life, ruin a relationship, start a new one, carved not even a foot away from where she sat.
"Maka
Kid"
"Hey, what's up?" A soothing voice came from the other side of the roof.
"Yeah, you're not supposed to be crying, silly!" Another voice cooed.
Liz and Patti jumped down from the two spikes next to Maka's and sat down next to the crying girl. Liz noticed the heart and immediately covered it up, Patti nodding in response.
How could he be so stupid to put it right here? She could've seen it for Death's sake! Liz thought to herself. Liz and Patti both found out about the crush when they read his journal that just happened to be laying on the coffee table at their home.
"Don't cry, you're not supposed to!" Patti chimed.
"Yeah, you're better than this." Liz chimed in.
"Exactly, I know I am," Maka let out, "I just, I mean... It's hard. I'm this tough girl who has killed 99 souls and one witches, yet her dad is so overprotective he doesn't let her kiss her own boyfriend. I just wish he would let loose, ya know?"
"No, not real-" Patti was cut off by Liz.
"Sometimes, with Kid, I mean. Everything has to be perfect. Everything with perfect symmetry. But I guess that's who they are. We can't just ask someone to be who they aren't, can we?"
"No, I guess not." Maka smiled and hugged the two girls. "Thanks guys, you're the best."
"Yeah, let's go on home." Revealed Soul from behind yet another spike.
"Yeah, let's do that." Maka grabbed Soul's hand and jumped off the building, landing on a ledge, jumping off that, and finally landing on the ground.
"That was great of you guys, thanks." Kid appeared, coming out of hiding.
"Yeah, we're pretty great." Liz joked.
"Great, great amazingly great~" Liz sang.
Kid watched Maka and Soul walk down the long path surrounded by trees. There they were, holding hands. Why can't he be with her like that?
