Soul kicked his legs up onto the coffee table and gazed blankly at the television. Maka sat on the floor, head resting on the couch. She absently munched on some popcorn and tried to do her math homework. Every time someone hit something or someone on the film she would cry out "No!" or when some one would kiss she would look timidly towards Soul. To Soul it was a pretty awkward moment. Damn. Cool guys aren't awkward. They handled every moment in life unfazed. So he had to be unfazed, that to him that was staring nonchalantly at the T.V; ignoring every glance from Maka. He heard a cough and automatically looked down at her, it was accidental. He did not mean to look at her. Her eyes were narrowed and frankly she looked pissed.
"What's wrong" he smiled smugly at her, with her it was always something.
" I know its movie night, but Soul we have all the same classes. I know you have math too. I really don't want you to slack this year too. The only reason we even passed the grade last year was because of my hard work. And, not to mention, my grade was brought down because of you. Do you understand that? Because they saw my hard work I will pass with top of the class score next time, unlike last year, but I could be doing better myself without you dragging me down. Soul, you do you homework half assed, you cheat on tests, and you go on way to many dates to get anything done, you play video games while I'm studying. My list goes on. What I'm getting at is that you need to get your homework out, and start acting like an adult, because believe it or not we are almost. So pull you stuff together and start acting cool, and not some lazy arrogant person who brings his partner down a whole percent. And I was almost perfect but you had to go make even less than I already was. Now OX is at the top of the scoreboard. I could kick him in the soft spot if it wouldn't get me in trouble and damage my rep. but seriously Soul, please just try not to slack this year"
Wow thought Soul she said all of that in one breath. Given he had spaced out most of the rant, he really only caught to many dates, get your homework out, and half-assed.
"You think I go on to many dates?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Soul, you only go on too many dates to get your work done, please don't try to read into this. I wasn't meaning it like that" she tried to sound exasperated but it only came out pleadingly. And if only that were true, Makas ears were turning a lovely shade of magenta.
" Your ear color seems to think otherwise" Soul said pointing at his red eyes.
"MAKA CHOP!" A loud thud and Soul hit the ground twitching and bend in all the wrong angles. Seriously he thought how does she pack some much force into one book chop?
Maka stormed away, clearly pissed, no frankness about it. Muttering under her breath she stormed back into the living room grabbed her homework and stomped in to her bedroom and slammed the door.
Cracking up Soul turned off the T.V and headed off to his own room. He plugged in some jazz on his iPod and flopped down in his desk chair. Hesitantly he pulled out his homework. However much she bugged him she still had him wrapped around her little finger. He started on his homework and didn't finish until a few ours later. He'd have Maka check it over for mistakes. He was just getting into bed when the doorbell rang, slowly he jogged to the door. Dramatically he threw it open, hoping to surprise whoever was at his door.
When the door flew open he heard a loud "Oaf" and groaning to follow. Outside was a grayer version of Soul. He looked about to be 6 feet with blown over spiky hair just like Souls but gray/silver instead of pure white and his eyes were a deep purpley maroon, he wore a black leather jacket. But of course Soul already knew what he looked like because, one, it was almost exactly what he himself look like except the slight color differences and, two, because he had grown up with the new Soul standing outside. His twin had returned.
