Maka's favorite place to read was in Soul's lap. Soul's favorite place to sleep was the couch. So Maka spent a lot of time reading on top of Soul on top of the couch. He would flop backwards onto the couch, holding her around the waist, pulling her with him. When he was done napping on the couch he would pluck the book from her hands and demand a kiss as its ransom. She would struggle halfheartedly before giving up and kissing him. Soul was always struck by how small she was when she laid on him like that. She was so light, her legs so slender rested on the arm of the couch between his, taking up little space. Her head rested on his chest, her pale golden hair sprawled across his usually bare, scarred chest. She was bony but her body never seemed to poke him. They fit together like they were made for each other. "Party later." He said when she had gotten her book back.
"Yay." She mumbled.
"Do you know where our bathing-suits are?" He asked as he buried his face in her neck, clutching her around the waist. She thought for a moment wondering where they might be.
"Yes." She lied.
"Go find them." He sighed releasing her.
When they arrived at the beach the others were already waiting. Death the Kid had built a perfectly symmetrical castle, BlackStar, Parry, Liz, and Tsubaki were playing hot potato in the water. When Soul and Maka arrived the three of them joined the others in the water. "Hey flatty!" BlackStar laughed. He spent much time after that with his head underwater. Soul hovered near her, constantly putting his hands on her hips, seeming to enjoy the feeling of her bare hips under his salty wet hands.
Liz had her waterproof camera snapping away, Patty kept jumping in the background of the pictures and making her weirdest faces. The one picture Patty didn't get in was when BlackStar got free and in his flailing he yanked Death the Kid's swimming shorts off. Liz snapped a picture, Tsubaki re submerged BlackStar, Patty laughed maniacally, and Soul covered Maka's eyes.
"So it's not just your hair that's unsymmetrical." Liz laughed. Maka, Soul and Tsubaki blushed furiously. Patty howled and Liz snapped a picture of the blushing group, Patty howling in the background and BlackStar's butt poking out of the water.
"Happy birthday Kid!" Liz laughed. Patty cackled while Tsubaki, Soul, and Maka (who still had her eyes covered by Soul even though Death the Kid had returned his shorts to his hips where they belonged) chorused happy birthday.
"We would have baked you a cake but everyone knows there's no symmetry in baking." Maka laughed.
