Chapter 1
The Black Room.
Maka had arrived there not to long ago after falling asleep. But Maka didn't even know the fact that Soul had came into her bedroom while she was fast asleep, climbed in beside her and fell asleep. Soul. . . . . The thought of her weapon partner made her shiver, she looked down at the black and red checkered floor as she felt her cheeks turn bright pink just by thinking about /br /For the past few months she had been in love with Soul. No, more than just in love, she was perhaps madly, deeply and foolishly in love with her partner. During these past few months she struggled with the new emotions that ragged inside her every time she was around him, she couldn't understand how these emotion for her partner had changed so quickly. They had been living together in the same apartment for nearly 5 years since they were both 14, ever since they met at the gathering of weapons and miesters. Maka remembered how they had met so well that if anyone asked her in about twenty years time, she could tell them exactly what happened when they /br /A warm feeling flashed in her stomach as she thought of Soul. The emotions felt rather strange, especially when she thought about Soul. Every time he smiled, it made her knees weak, if he touched her heart would begin to beat so fast it almost sounded like a hummingbird's wing. Often times she tried to act casual and normal but other times she would stutter around him and felt her heart skip a little when he said her /br /Sometimes just standing around him made her feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside as /br /But she knew that Soul would never be interested in a girl like her. Maka was always the goody-good girl who loved reading in her spare time while Soul 'chilled' like all 'cool' guys /br /Maka was so surrounded in her own thoughts that she didn't notice or hear the sound of footsteps approaching her. "Maka?" asked a very familiar voice. She looked up and almost felt her cheeks turn red. She recognized the familiar face of him, the pale skin, the crimson red eyes and the unusually sharp teeth. It was her partner, (Maka's stomach did a flip) Soul Eater Evans. He was wearing his usual dark suit and dark red dress /br /"What are you doing here?" he asked, in his usual, cool husky voice. "Um," she said in rather a shaky voice, she starred down at her gloved folded hands and swayed her body from side to side, her usual strapless black dress moving around like smoke. "You see-." She broke off suddenly as Soul reached out and grabbed her folded hands and pulled it up it near his /br /"What is it Maka?" he asked. Maka felt her body tingle when he asked her that question. "I came here because I have something to tell you," she said, gathering the courage and looking up into his face, her emerald green eyes meeting his ruby red eyes. "I just wanted to tell you," she said, feeling a little more confidence. "That I love you." There was silence after she said these words.
