Maka woke to the feeling of being enveloped in a cocoon of warmth. She hadn't a clue what had woken her, and all she knew was that she wanted to go back to sleep, listening to the heartbeat –
Heartbeat.
Oh,crap.
Slowly, so as to not wake the person lying next to her, she moved her head back to see his face.
His peaceful expression, softened by sleep.
His long, pale eyelashes.
His mop of white hair.
Crap.
Cold seeping into her bones, she leapt away, tumbling off the bed. The movement woke Soul and he jolted into a sitting position, crimson eyes open wide.
Maka shivered as the cool air struck her bare skin, and goosebumps erupted. She spotted her clothes in a pile on the floor, and she shot towards them. She was shaking as she pulled the clothes back on her body.
She heard the bedsprings squeak and she jumped at the sound. "Wha…" Soul's sleep-filled voice filtered into her head, somehow heard over the rapid pounding of her heart.
"Maka? What… Oh." He went quiet as he clued in to what had happened. "Shit. Did I – The party –" He couldn't seem to be able to get the words out.
Her back still turned, Maka quickly made her way to the door, purposely not glancing back at the other occupant of the room.
Heart still pounding in her ears, she ran for her room, and collapsed on her bed. After a minute, she realized what she had to do.
She got up and went to her closet. After grabbing a bag from the top shelf, she started placing clothes into it – skirts, blouses, a few jeans, a sweater. She then moved to her dresser and pulled out undergarments, shoving them into the bag as well. Exiting her room, she rushed to the bathroom and grabbed her toothbrush, toothpaste, brush, and a small bottle of shampoo along with a bar of soap. She then realized her hair was still down, and grabbed a handful of elastics and slipped them onto her wrist.
Sure she had grabbed everything, she made her way to the front door of their apartment. Despite the fact that it was the middle of July, she grabbed her coat – she didn't know how long she would be gone. After throwing on a pair of sneakers and grabbing her boots, shoving them in her bag on top of the clothes, she opened the door and slipped out into the hallway.
For a second, she considered going to Tsubaki's, but BlackStar would be there – and there was now way he'd understand. And plus, he was always hanging with Soul. There was no way that that would work out well.
She tried to go through all the people she could stay with, but no one came to mind – except one person.
She groaned.
But she knew he'd always welcome her, no matter the circumstances. So, with a sigh, she set out for her father's apartment.
There's absolutely no way he's going to shut up about this. I just know it.
God, I'm so sorry that it's so short, but it's an intro chapter - I had to set the story. Sorry if you don't like it, it took a while to get the momentum going. and I don't know when I'll update it next.
