Alright guys I don't know whether this is my first fanfic or not because I was kind of writing it while writing another Soul Eater fanfic which I might post. This is like a one shot but will have like 2 chapters (:
Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater.
Chapter 1
•Maka's POV
"Soul! Are you ready yet?" I yelled at my partner from the kitchen. School will start in 30 minutes.
"Yeah Maka," Soul said closing his bedroom door behind him. He was wearing his usual black and yellow leather jacket and red jeans with his black headband.
It was my turn to make breakfast and it was already served on the table. Today I felt like making his favorite: waffles with hash browns and bacon on the side. He walked over to the table as I poured him some milk and myself some orange juice.
"Smells good," Soul said as we sat down. I gave him a smile. I took small-like bites to my waffle and he ate his in four bites. He took two more from the plate in the middle which is really mostly for him because I didn't eat at least more than two.
When we finished we head out the door silently. This was weird since we usually had something to say or talk about.
I don't know what it was but something was bothering him. I know something was bothering him. Every time we touched I could feel it more clearly because of his soul.
I hopped on the bike without even noticing it, I had zoned out thinking of why Soul was acting like this. I grabbed him by the waist, yet again getting that weird feeling from his soul, and we sped off.
We made it to school with 5 minutes to spare. I kind of slouched to class, thinking. There wasn't an obvious reason on why my partner was acting this way. Crap.
•Soul's POV
I opened the door of our classroom for a slouching Maka. Why was she slouching? Was it something I said? It can't be that, I haven't really said much. Oh maybe that was it. Is it because I haven't been talking much lately? She probably thinks I'm ignoring her in some way.
On our way to our seats we pass BlackStar, Tsubaki, Kidd, Liz, Patty, & Chrona. But we didn't say hi because we obviously weren't in the mood to be hanging out with friends. I sat down at my usual seat next to Maka waiting for Stein to walk in and begin our lesson.
Oh! Does Maka know I've been feeling weird lately? This is just great. It's about the last thing I wanted her to know. Okay maybe I do want her to know but...
•3rd person POV
Their class dragged on, both Soul and Maka looking distracted. They didn't have much to get their attention because Stein was conducting yet another dissection, this time on a turtle looking thing, and they already had enough of those dissections. When the bell rung BlackStar went up to Soul. "Hey Soul!" he yelled. "Hey man. What's up?" Soul said all cool. "Me that's what! Because I'm a star! Hahahaha!" BlackStar yelled. Here we go again, thought Soul. Usually Soul wouldn't mind Black*Star and his conceited ranting but now he was getting on his nerves. "Alright then I'll see you later," is all Soul said.
School ended so Soul and Maka were heading back home. They parked in front of their apartment building and she unlocked the door of their apartment. Once they were in Maka said she would make dinner in a half hour. She went into her room and grudgingly put on a t-shirt and sweat pants.
•Maka's POV
I was about to walk out of the bedroom when I stopped myself in front of the mirror. I stared at myself. Was it me? Am I the problem with Soul? Does he not want to be my partner anymore? I went frozen at the thought. I haven't thought about it before now. I can't lose Soul. Not him. I wouldn't be able to deal with it. I would just die. Without wanting to think about it for any longer right now I made my way towards the kitchen.
I started cooking. Today's dinner is mashed potatoes and mac-n-cheese. I wasn't really in the mood to make anything bigger. With not enough energy to scream, I walked toward Soul's door and knocked. He opened the door in about 10 seconds.
"Yeah?" he asked leaning on the wall while holding the doorknob. "Dinners ready" I answered in a small voice. We both sat down at the kitchen table and started eating. I took my small bites. Soul took his big ones.
I glanced up at him sometimes but most of the time I was looking down at my food. I couldn't help but think that I was why he was being weird lately. He didn't want to be my partner anymore.
I heard someone say something. I had zoned out again. "What?" I asked Soul. "I said I'm done," he replied. "Oh yeah me too," I said looking down at my half eaten food. I washed the dishes as it was my turn to cook and wash today. I didn't need to see him leave to know Soul wasn't there. Why would he stay? To watch me clean the dishes? After I finished drying my hands I started for my room. To my great surprise Soul was sitting at the kitchen table staring at me.
•Soul's POV
When she turned around she wasn't expecting to see me here. She looked cute when she was in her lay-back clothes. While she was washing the dishes I was watching her and thinking of what to do. I had made up my mind.
"Maka, go put some jeans on we're going out somewhere," I told her. Her face went from surprise to confusion. "Just do it," I said. I didn't want to change my mind.
•Maka's POV
Oh no, I thought. He's going to tell me tonight. He's going to tell me we can't be partners anymore.
I shuffled to my room, barely able to lift up my feet. My head was flooding with thoughts of sadness and confusion.
Should I make something up? Tell him I don't feel well so he won't take me somewhere and tell me? No that's pathetic. He would still tell me and I would still get hurt. Rather sooner than later. I pulled on some jeans but left on my green t-shirt. I grabbed my phone, put it in my pocket, then headed out my bedroom door.
He was waiting for me on the couch, hunched over looking down at his hands, he looked kind of... agitated. Why was he nervous? I had more reason to be nervous than he did.
"Oh. You're ready. Come on then," he said looking up. "Okay," I said with my voice a bit shaky.
We stepped out of our apartment, went downstairs, and got on his bike. It was a cool night and the moon was bright.
As my arms were wrapped around his waist I could feel it again, his soul. I could tell he was nervous, more than I thought. There's still no reason for him to be nervous. He is going to break off our partnership, I know it. So there's no reason for his soul to be acting like this.
•Soul's POV
I stopped my bike at the beginning of a hill. I and Maka come here all the time. I got off then she did. We were walking up the hill and I felt like there was something missing. I remembered: Maka and I usually hold hands while we are going up here. That wasn't weird for us though since we're used to doing it. I was just about to grab her hand when I stopped myself. I was nervous enough, if I touched her again I think I might explode.
After 10 minutes of silence, except for the gravel and dirt moving under our feet, we reached the top of the hill.
Okay Soul, you can do this. Don't back down, you can do this! I mentally told myself as I turned to face Maka.
"Maka, we need to talk," I said, taking her to sit down on some stone bricks on the floor. "Okay Soul," she said when she took a seat next to me.
•3rd person POV
"I don't know where to start" Soul said, looking at his hands and glancing up at her.
Maka was dying inside. She wishes he would just say it so it can be over.
"Look Soul," Maka started, "I know I'm hard to deal with sometimes but I can st-" she was quieted by a finger touching her lips.
"Maka, stop," Soul said, "what I'm going to do is hard enough. Please don't make it harder."
A defeated Maka stopped talking. She was trying hard to hold back tears. She knew what was coming next.
