Enough with me bantering here you go! Please enjoy :).
"Aachoo…oh come fricken on!" I shout. Due to me refusal to do the indecent and wipe my nose on my coat I am now stuck with snot running down my nose, shivering as I await my special someone's arrival. He had insisted upon going ahead to surf the hills while I stand shivering in my little boots! I should kill him for this but I can't because he's up there and I'm down here so I won't.
Whatever got me to think this was a good idea might as well go kill itself before I get to them,
I sneeze again.
Really?
"SOUL, SHINIGAMI DAMN YOU!" I scream at the top of my lungs attracting much attention from the people around me. Yes they just seen a pissed off girl in pigtails scream at the nothingness in front of her and no she is not sorry for it! In fact she's still pissed off and growing more so with each passing second.
"Now, now Maka calm down. We wouldn't want to cause an avalanche and kill poor Soul now would we?"
That's funny, that sounds a bit too much like sarcasm.
Kid is dressed to his symmetric best in a full white on black assemble made just for winter. His goggles sit nicely on his head as he awaits the arrival of Soul. He's smirking though as if he's happy that Soul isn't here and well…that I am. "Maka."
Thank you, thank you. I all too eagerly accept his black and white checkered handkerchief and wipe the hell out of my nose, then blow into it for good measure. Even when I hand it back to him Kid is smiling charmingly at me despite the snot covered rag.
"Where's Liz and Patty?"
"In the lodge."
Right. That's where the smart people chill. I couldn't see Liz wanting to surf, ride, whatever on these hills anyway. Patty might, she's a fierce competitor and all. "I see…shall we go? Hot chocolate is sounding really good about- ahhchoo."
Oh shinigami damn it!
I can tell that Kid is trying his best to not laugh at how pathetic I look right now, so much so that he's covering his mouth with one hand as he hands me his handkerchief in the other. I begin to wonder if I should even bother.
"If I catch a cold…" My eyes narrow. We live together so it would be oh so easy to extract my revenge on him. "Soul you'll be doing more than just sleeping on the couch."
"Maka?" Kid asks. He apparently didn't hear me.
"Oh it's nothing Kid."
"I see…" Kid smiles the way he does. A leather gloved hand is raised to my cheek pressing in with this lovely cold sensation, I can smell the leather so much so that I close my eyes readying myself to push him away if he dares to linger or get too close. That cold sensation moves to my bottom lip and that's when I'm ready to either bite him or remind him of my boundaries.
Before I can do such things there's a whoosh of some sorts and curse from Kid as snow rains down upon us in impossible heaps!
I let out a howl as snow slides down my back cold as the sky. It enters every open part of my body, slinking through the slits and openings of my outer wear.
…
What. The. Crap?
"YAHOO! Didja see their faces? You totally got them Soul!"
…
"Yeah," Soul snickers. "It was looking a little hot over here so I decided to cool them down."
…
I'm going to kill them.
No wait.
I'm going to take both of their heads and drown them in the snow.
No wait.
I'm going to bash their heads in with their snowboards.
No wait.
I'm going to-
"SOUL!" I wail as my entire body shakes more so from anger then the cold. Oh he was so dead for this one. My eyes open and there he is laughing his scrawny ass off with Black*Star who's pointing at me and Kid.
"Uh-oh." Black*Star's snickering comes to a halt as he see the demonic aura flaring up all around me. I'm pissed. Duh. "Uh Soul…run. Run really, really fast! Don't look back!"
"I can't run you dumb ass!"
Right. When you ride a snowboard you hook your feet to the board. Smart move on their part.
"You are so dead! What makes you think that this was okay? Huh? Start answering! In fact get on your knees and grovel!" I grab him by his jacket full prepared to just shake the hell out of him. He's giving me that 'you're really going to start something look' that only fuels my fire.
"What makes you think what he was doing is okay? Last I checked you're my girlfriend."
"And if you had waited two fricken seconds I would have reminded him of that!" I glare, Soul sighs.
He shrugs it off like it wasn't the big deal that it so clearly is. With a toothy grin he says "My way is faster."
I'm going to knock his lights out. "Moron. When will you get it? I'm not going to run off with Kid…ever. You need to trust me…"
"I do! It's him I don't trust." Soul glares at Kid who is brushing himself off. Don't put Kid out; he's listening to each and every word we say.
Which is probably why he comments. "Unlike certain barbarians I know to respect a ladies' space. I wouldn't dare force myself on a girl."
"Which is why I caught you with a hand on my girlfriend." Soul rolls his gorgeous red eyes.
Kid smiles, not my smile, but a smile meant for pissing Soul off. "I didn't hear any objections."
"Hey stripy when are you ever going to fix that ha-"
"Don't start!" I cover his mouth instantly. There was going to be no freak outs if I have anything to say about it. "So hey…are you going to teach me how to do this…snow thingy or not?"
"I said I would didn't I"
Yes. "Okay…well let's do this thing then!" With that Soul sets off to explain why I need to hook only one foot in. To find out which foot that is, he pushes me in the back and my right foot steps forward. Right foot it is.
"You coming along Black*Star?" Soul asks as we head for what is known as the bunny hill. Yes it's really called that.
"I prefer something more challenging then the bunny hill of all things." Black*Star smirks.
I glare. "It's not my fault! Excuse me for starting out!"
Kid states that he will be watching from the bottom as Soul attempts to teach me. If you have seen his last attempt at teaching me something then you'll know that I am horrible at any and all sports at the beginning. Give me some time and I'll kick your butt!
"Just hold onto the rope, it'll do the rest." Sounds easy enough and quite frankly rather simple. I make sure my gloves are nice and snug before attempting to grab this fast moving rope. Let me just note how damn awkward this really is. I am standing at the bottom of the hill with a bunch of little children sliding around. Some of them are really good. To top it all off I'm significantly taller than all of them.
I stand way the hell out.
I don't particularly like this. "Foot here…and go!"
My gloves enclose upon the rope making a nasty sound as it creates friction between my gloves and the fast rope. At first it just slips through my hold before it finally catches and not-so-elegantly jerks me up hill. I wobble like crazy as the rope just takes me up.
It's not that bad.
I wonder if going downhill will be this nice.
…
Oh I highly doubt it.
"Now Maka listen up," Soul is still smirking, liking the idea of playing my instructor. He hates it whenever I lecture him about school; it's not my fault he can't pass. I'm not the idiot here. "Here's some simple tricks. Both arms out length way. Keep one hand outstretched and move it where you want to go, your body should follow. To stop, swivel your board so you're sideways like this."
Soul takes my shoulders and turns my body so that I can see both of my feet. "Dig your heels backwards or just fall. It's not too hard…even you should be able to handle it."
Oh hardy har har! "What about turning?" Yes, because if a little child gets in my way I want to turn.
"Don't be afraid of speed. You need it to turn…trust me. You won't get much up here though, too small." Oh how wonderful.
This is going to be awesome.
Yeah fricken right! Once Soul shows me how to buckle in I'm ready to go. "Here I go!" I whip my legs around and…go absolutely nowhere. "Heh…a push?" Too flat!
"Jump a few times." He sounds ready to kick me in the ass.
Is he stupid? Yes, but I'm going to do it anyway. I can feel my board start to slide with each jump before I'm actually going down the damn hill. "Oh shit!" My arms flail like crazy at the feeling of no control. I however do not get the pleasure of falling. No I get the pleasure of going (for me) really, really fast. "Yaaaaah. SOUL!" I freak because I have no idea what the hell I'm doing and oh my face! SNOW!
Yep I fell.
Crap.
"…" I honestly have nothing to say about this. It didn't hurt…just a face full of snow is less then pleasant. Duh.
With a little effort I'm back on my feet only to slip and fall on my butt.
This was getting old real fast, little kids are laughing at me. "Need a hand?"
"I need something." I admit. It's irritating. I take his hands so he helps me with a grunt. "I kind of want to be good at this."
After all…it's something Soul enjoys. I want to at least try to be good at it. I mean he helps me out at the bakery.
"No one is good right off the bat."
Yeah well I'm Maka. "Not even you?" I look up into his eyes.
Soul looks away to the side. "Let just say I fell…a lot."
That actually make me feel better. I'm motivated now! So I'm back on my feet and ready to fly.
Rope is one thing, chair lift s apparently another. "First time?" The chair man asks. Apparently he too can tell that my shaking is not from the cold. Wonderful. "Don't rock and don't fall. Go on yp to that red line there and as soon as the chair touches the back of your legs…sit."
No duh.
Sounds easy enough and it was. It was getting off that was the problem. "Wow! Look at how tall this is."
"Sit back." Soul has a hand on my right shoulder. Yes…falling would be classified as a stupid and bad thing. Maka does not do stupid or bad things…anymore. "Pretty neat. The trick to getting off is to put your foot on the foot pad and push yourself off the chair. You should slide to the left for our next hill."
"I'll certainly try." Yeas as if. All kinds of thoughts were zipping through my head about potentially not getting off.
"I'll have your arm so there's nothing to worry about. You'll see it's not that hard Maka." He's being unusually nice today. Perhaps that moment with Kid was a real kick in the stomach for him. "Here we go."
My board touches the ground at the same time that my boot hits the pad. We push ourselves forward and off we go. I'm wobbly and would have fallen if Soul hadn't had me.
"Hey Maka!" Oh lovely pink skies is Tsubaki who finally makes an appearance. She pulls her goggles up and onto her head. "Soul…have you guys seen Black*Star?"
"Earlier. Not that his visit was pleasant. It's kind of impossible to ignore/forget about seeing a blue haired monkey.
He's liable to cause an avalanche.
"I see…I hope he's okay. How are you doing?"
"Slightly less than worse. I made it off the chair lift!" And I am so proud of myself so much so that I don't mind it when she pats me on the head and tells me how proud of me she is. "Thank you. I'm going to buckle in and go fall on my ass."
"MWA HA HA! BWA HA HA! I'M AWESOME!"
"He's on the other side of the mountain." I tell her rather bluntly.
"To turn either dig your toes in or dig your heels in." Soul tells me. He too is looking behind him though perhaps just in case Black*Star comes shooting by.
"Sounds simple enough." It actually did. Unfortunately, everything that I've called simple is actually a royal pain in my and sometimes my face.
"See you at the bottom!" Soul pushes my head down before whooshing past me. Down the hill he goes turning (ahem carving) swiftly with each lean. His hands touch the snow with each and every lean he makes, bringing up the fine powder to create a cloud like effect.
He was awesome.
"Later Tsubaki!" I leaped and down the hill I soared. The wind caused my pigtails to whip back, smacking against my back occasionally. It felt absolutely wonderful. Carving however was a bit difficult. My hands got nowhere near close to the ground but at least I managed to stay upright. That wind felt amazing although cold, I can finally see why Soul enjoys this.
Plus he honestly does look cool.
"Heh." Soaring, and just like that my board sticks and I'm thrown forward toppling over quite literally everything. My arms stick and I find myself with my nose planted into someone's feet. Somehow my board has ended up against the back of my neck. Cold.
I didn't know my legs could bend that far back.
I don't think they're supposed to.
"Oh…ow." I moan.
"How uncool." When I look up, Soul has a hand outstretched for me to take. "You caught my carve and it sent you flying."
"You don't say." I moan. Maybe snowboarding isn't my sport after all. After a few seconds I take his hand and he pulls me up, even helps me brush off.
"You did wonderful Maka!" Tsubaki who had watched my hilarity from the top offers up her kind words to me.
"I hate snow." I grump.
"It wasn't bad." She tries again. Even offers up a smile.
I'm cold, I hurt, and I'm wet.
"Aachoo…" My eyes narrow. "Fuck."
"Practice makes perfect Maka." Yet another try.
I know that practice makes perfect, but when practice consists of sneezing and a face full of snow I'm just not all that motivated to do it.
"Carve girl carve!" Followed by a whistle from the men on the chair lifts I was zipping down the hill doing close ground carves. I have a knack for this! Which is surprisingly because I hate snow. Perhaps the fear of falling into said crap was what makes me so good at this.
I still fall like crazy. I've just found my groove now. "Soul!" I shout as I see him unhooking himself at the bottom. Just as he had done to me earlier I whip my board around and send snow flying right in his face. I manage to send the snow flying, but I do end up right on my ass.
Of course I do.
"Dammit! We're heading back to the lodge, I'm starving." Soul shakes his head like a dog sending a good amount of snow to the ground. The sun was nearly down now so it made sense that it was time to turn in. We leave our boards and shed our gear. The lodge is nice and warm despite the fact that I'm in jeans and a t-shirt that belongs to Soul. It has a cartoonish reaper on it.
I sit by the fireplace along the heated up brick as my pigtails begin to dry. I'm waiting for the rest of them who are all in the cafeteria part no doubt buying the cafeteria by now. "Aachoo…" Oh come fricken on!
"Bless you."
"Thank you." I turn around unaware of my new company. I knew that it couldn't be Soul or Kid which meant that it was yet another unknown being trying to make friends with me.
Or maybe he's just being polite.
Psh.
"You're welcome," He's tall…taller than Soul and I, perhaps Kid's height even. His hair is dry so he's been here awhile, I must have missed him when I come in. "I saw you out there. For a newbie you're pretty good."
"You can tell I'm a newbie?" I didn't think I was that bad. Maybe he saw me on my third or fourth run…you know when I fell on my face.
"I said your good didn't I?" His smile is neat; it almost makes me want to smile back.
Almost.
Not quite.
Instead I smirk. He can try to avoid the question all he wants but he's nothing compared to Soul. "What are you reading?" Always the sign of a semi smart human being.
"Shakespeare."
Of course. "I love him." I smile for real now. After all that's where Soul got my so called nickname.
"His writing is just amazing. It's a shame that he's no longer here." The guy's eyes are actually looking into my own. I didn't get that a lot. "Are you waiting for someone?"
"Several." I look back at the fire as it licks at the log. It feels really odd how warm it is considering how cold it is right outside the door. The silence between is rather awkward now so much so that I kind of wish that he'd leave. I'm positive that if Soul comes back at this moment he's going to throw a fit.
Again.
"For a literature girl you've got an interesting taste in shirts. I like it-"
"Thank you." We speak in unison. I turn my head back around to smile at Soul who's glaring at the boy. It's so obvious what Soul is thinking that the boy is slowly backing off stuttering about something to do with his friends that are supposedly waiting for him. "Keep running!" Soul shouts after him.
"Is that mine?" I point to the cup in his left hand. It's filed with delicious hot chocolate topped with whip cream. "Something wrong?"
I mean come on; the man's idea of a pickup line is complimenting my taste in t-shirts.
It isn't even my shirt!
"You're so oblivious! You would have punched his lights if you had seen the way his eyes were traveling down your back. I'm pissed that you didn't."
Here we go.
I take a sip, savoring the cream. "Despite what you may believe I do not have eyes in the back of my head. I can chase him down if you'd like." Chase him down and beat him with his Shakespeare.
"He's not worth it. I can't leave you alone for five minutes." Soul scratches the back of his head. Our toes touch as we sit with cheeks against our knees, arms drooped lazily.
"Then don't." I'm too busy starring longingly at the bright red fire to see Soul doing the same thing at me with a pink blush on his warming cheeks. "Hey Soul."
"Yeah Maka?"
"Thanks for taking me along." It was really all I could think of to say. I had learned a lot, fell way too many times, and sneezed.
"Well look who's getting all lovey dovey by the fire place!"
Oh look…a talking monkey. "Hey guys." We get up together to take a seat on an actual arm chair. I lay across the chair in Soul's lap, sipping on my hot chocolate while listening to Black*Star rant about how cool he looked.
"I pulled off a 360!" He begins his oh so obnoxious laughter which made my hot chocolate shake. "What about you Kid? Didn't see ya out there much."
"I prefer to stay warm so I stayed in here to study for next week's big test." Kid sits in the middle of Liz and Patty with legs crossed elegantly looking very much like a pimp that he's not. "Did you have fun Maka?"
"Ye-"
"She did." Soul places a protective (possessive?) hand on my stomach. I can see him glaring.
"I didn't know that your name is Maka."
"We don't always inform you of every-"
"KNOCK IT OFF!" Jeez I was going to Maka-chop them both if they didn't shut up. "I can speak for myself Soul."
"I know," Soul smirks. "You never shut up."
"Someone is sleeping on the couch tonight," Black*Star snickers at his own best friends misfortune. "Dude, you're an idiot!"
"Bet he does that a lot." Kid looks satisfied.
Soul passes him a nasty look and would say something except Patty flung to life.
"A LOT! A LOT! Poor Soul! I know!" Patty's light-bulb flares to life, it's one of those rare moments. "He can come and sleep on our couch!"
"I don't think so Patty." Liz tries but Patty has her mind set and is now bouncing like the little freak she is.
Oh I'm sure that would fly! Kid and Soul under the same roof. "Sounds like a good idea. Maybe Soul will learn some manners."
"Considering how he lives with you, I bet he doesn't learn a damn thing!" Black*Star challenges. Tsubaki passes me an apologetic look but it's alright because I am mature and I know how to handle morons.
For the most part.
"Ah hah hah, you're such a child." Blunt as ever. It's hysterical that a talking blue monkey has the nerve to challenge my intelligence!
After a good argument with Black*Star that ended with me Maka-Chopping him and then him spurting off something vulgar that had Soul on him in seconds and Kid covering my ears, we were nearly ready to depart.
"Aachoo…"
…
"Bless yo-"
"Aachoo!" We both waited…and waited…and waited…and waited some more.
"Bles-"
"Aachoo!"
"Control yourself woman!" Soul shouts.
Oh as if I can. "I wouldn't be sneezing if I could! Do you know how gross sneezing is Soul? Do you?"
"I have sneezed before Maka."
"Good. Now let's go and get ready for tomorrow's dissection. I think we're dissecting some sort of endangered wood pecker or something." Since dissecting students is in fact illegal, he settles for animals. "Oh and before I forget…"
"Yeah Maka?" He has our boards.
"Let's go snowboarding again sometime." His smile was charming. On our way home I fell asleep in the back seat on Tsubaki's shoulder as Black*Star, Soul, and Kid shouted about directions and how horrible Black*Star's driving is.
Thanks for reading. I hope that you enjoyed this first chapter out of many short stories that may or may not link. As stated please read A New Melody if you have not or some things may seem confusing.
Also note that I don't have internet and only tend to update once a week. Sometimes you'll get lucky but it's usually once a week.
