DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS
He was standing in the door way watching her.
She was doing dishes.
He was watching the way the sun slanted through the window and made her glow.
Watching how she smiled when she accidentally splashed herself.
Watching the girl he loved...
And realizing she didn't know.
She didn't know he loved her.
Which posed a problem.
How could he tell her and still seem cool?
Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.

The answer:
He pushed off the wall and walked towards her. He marveled at the way she had filled out. She no longer was flat chested and her clothes hugged her body. She was so breath-takingly beautiful to him sometimes it took his breath away. Of course he would never ever say that out loud. That would be completely uncool.
He placed his hands on her hips and leaned his chin on her shoulder, running his hands along her stomach and lacing his fingers together. She jumped a little and then went perfectly still.
Damn. He screwed up...
Burying his face in the crook of her neck, he mumbled a quick apology and started to take his hands away but a wet hand to his arm stopped him.
He looked up in surprise to see Maka lacing her fingers through his. "Don't apologize." She said smiling.
He released a breath he didn't know he had been holding and just stood there not thinking past this. Why hadn't he thought past this? How uncool he growled to himself.
But Maka had an idea she turned in his arms to face him, letting go of his hand on the way. He immediately felt the loss but just moved his hands to her waist. She leaned in like she was going to kiss him and he didn't even notice her reaching behind her.
She reached behind herself and filled a cup with soapy water and dumped it on him. He stood in shock while she stood there in his arms laughing.
He shook his head and water flew out from his hair splashing Maka. She tried to get away but he just tightened his hold, pulling her even closer. She reached up on tip toes and gave him an Eskimo kiss* then wriggled out of reach.
She giggled and ran outside.
Soul ran after her.
*Eskimo Kiss- since Eskimos wear those big hoods that covers their mouth they rub their noses together in what they call an Eskimo kiss. It's very endearing.
aww... Hope it wasn't too cheesy. Review please?
