Chapter One: All You've Done For Me - A Gaze of Gems
My first fan fiction story! Hope I did okay.
Soul's POV
"S-Soul?" Maka whispered to her black-blooded partner, with wide eyes. She was standing in the doorway of his room, clutching her blanket.
"Yeah, Maka?" I whispered back to my olive-green eyed partner, sleepily. It was three AM! What was she doing in my room? I chuckled silently to myself. Obviously not that!
"I had a nightmare… I'm so scared." Maka whispered quietly and very shyly. "Can I lie next to you?" She was obviously embarrassed to ask me to help her with her problems. She was a strong girl, strong-willed and not swayed easily. It must have a horrible dream for her to ask.
She stood there in silence while I wondered for a few seconds. "Of course, Maka." I finally replied, stronger, firmer, as to chase her bad dreams away, for good. She climbed into the bed, laying next to me. She breathed hard, probably scared, but not of the dreams anymore. Was she scared of me? Was she just nervous to lie next to a boy for the first time?
"S-Soul.." Maka whispered quietly. She leaned closer to me, her emerald eyes staring into my ruby ones. A gaze of gems? I liked the sound of that; it was beautiful… like Maka. Little that she knows, I really like her. Just her looking into my eyes made a wave of lust and admiration wash over me, making me smile for a second.
"Yes, Maka?" I replied, lost in her beautiful eyes.
"Soul... Can I lay my head on you?" She said shyly, never breaking her gaze with me. I smiled softly, if only if she knew how much I loved her…
"Of course, Maka." I whispered in her ear, kissing her forehead lightly, with soft lips, like a passing butterfly. She blushed, and looked up at my crimson eyes once again.
"Everything you do for me, Soul…" She whispered in my ear, her lips brushing against my face, my skin. "You've done so much… Thank you."
She laid her head on my chest, and I sighed. I kissed her forehead and fell asleep with her head on my chest.
You'd think God would give us a rest. Let us live in harmony for a while, maybe Maka and I go on a few dates? Yeah.. Right.
If only either of us knew what was going to happen soon.
