Disclaimer: Don't own Soul Eater sad face

Blair walked out from Maka's room after her afternoon nap, stretching her paws out in front of her. Clawing at the floor she moved forward allowing for her hind legs to stretch as well. Shaking herself out of her sleep stage she noticed said girl reading on the couch. Grinning, Blair jumped up onto her lap trying to get some attention from the meister.

"Hey Blair did you enjoy your nap?" Maka asked as she continued to read her book with one hand and the other took to petting Blair.

"Nyaaa I did thanks for asking Maka. Say Maka I've been wondering, just how did scythie-boy and you become being roommates?" she looked up to the scythe wielder.

"Why the sudden interest Blair?" she looked curiously at the feline.

"I'm just curious Maka. Is it the academy rules or something?"she asked using her tail as a bookmark to save Maka's place.

"Lord Death prefers partners to live together but the choice is ultimately up to the students." she explained.

"So what's your story? Did you guys move in right away or did that take time?"

"Ever hear of the term curiosity killed the cat?"

"Good thing I have more than one life. Bu-tan just wants to know how her kittens ended up living together. Is that a crime?"

"No it's not Blair. To answer your question, no we didn't move in right away." Maka set her book down on her lap careful not to crush Blair's tail. She reached out scratching the cat witch under the chin, earning her a deep purr.

"Aww why nots?"

Maka sighed trying to remember back to the time her and Soul had become partners and all the craziness that happened afterward. She placed her book down besides her and looked down at the cat.

"Guess I'll start from the beginning."

Flashback

Maka sat at the kitchen table with a newspaper sprawled out in front of her. She will be starting at the DWMA in a month and she wanted to find her own place, so she didn't have to live with her good for nothing papa. (She would be stressed with finding a female partner.) What she really wanted was a female scythe partner but scythes in general were rare, so to find a female scythe would be ten times harder to find but she wanted to be like her mama minus having a male partner. All males were the same and she won't be dealing with any of that drama. She wanted to find a place so she didn't have to worry about finding one later on with her partner and it be an easier transition.

"Good morning Maka! Are you ready for orientation and the formal gathering tonight?" Spirit came down the stairs seeing his precious daughter at the table.

Maka acknowledge her papa with just a nod as she was engrossed in the paper. He sighed as he grabbed his stuff and went out the door.

"I'll see you later tonight Maka. Have a nice day and remember that papa loves you/"

Maka rolled her eyes as she got ready to head to the DWMA's orientation. There wasn't much that she didn't know but it was mandatory for all students to attend.

~After Orientation~

Maka had walked out of the auditorium as the orientation was finally over. She had to admit this years group looked exceptional. According to Professor Sid, the group only had one scythe. She was hoping it was a female. She made mental notes of worthy partners, which was a handful of females. She did note one person who stuck out the most to her. Granted the person was a male but something about him struck her. Snow white hair and the most reddest eyes that she has ever seen. He seemed bored at the orientation though she couldn't blame him as a lot of the other students just wanted to get it over with to find partners. She swore to herself that she wouldn't get involved with the white hair boy because they are nothing but trouble.

She left the DWMA and went looking for a few apartments that she found earlier that morning. Each one was close to the school, so she wouldn't need to get herself a car. After looking at the first place, she dubbed it too small for two people. Maka had a feeling that it wouldn't be easier to find a place if they were this small. Looking down at her watch, she noted that she had to get back to the school for the formal gathering. Opting not to wear anything fancy she stayed in her trench coat and school girl outfit.

Walking back up the stairs of the school, she went into one of the ballrooms and tried to find the potential partners she made note from earlier. Finding one of the girls, she made her way over to her and struck up a conversation.

"Uhhh Maka that isn't telling me HOW you two ended up living together." Blair groaned as she was getting bored of the story.

"Fine fine Blair god thought you'd want to know how we met and became partners?"

"I do but skip all the boring stuff I want the juicy stuff."

"There wasn't anything juicy about it Blair. Jeez get your head outta the gutter will ya, Anyways" She giggled not hearing Soul come out from his room when she continued on with the story.

The night didn't go as well as she planned as all the potential partners were already paired up or don't wish to become a death scythe. The only one who came close was a girl name Tsubaki but that idiot loudmouth friend of hers already snatched her up. Sneaking out of the ballroom, she walked down the halls when she heard something.

"What was that?' she asked herself as she made her way towards the noise. Her feet brought her to the music room. Carefully wedging herself between the small space between the door and the fame, she saw the snow haired boy from earlier today playing the piano. It was beautiful as far as she was concern. Once he ended, she gave a small clap which made him whirled around in shock.

"What are you doing here?" he snapped.

"I was walking down the hall when I heard something, so I came by to check it out. It was beautiful."

"Tch you know nothing about music then if you thought that was beautiful." he gave a snarky replied.

"I don't need to know anything about music to know a piece is well compose in my opinion. Anyways why aren't you back at the party?"

"Not my thing."

"Meister or Weapon?" she asked bluntly not seeing the tag on his suit.

"Weapon, I'm a scythe pretty cool eh? You?" he answered as she mentally groaned.

"Meister and I will create a stronger death scythe that will surpass my papa."

"Then how about we team up? You want to create a death scythe and I want to be one of Lord Death's weapons."

"No."

"Why not?'

"You're a male plain and simple."

"No need to be sexist pigtails."

"My name isn't pigtails it's Maka and all males are the same."

"You don't even know me pigtails, so how can you make that call?"

"Easy because I can."

"Well before you judge, this is who I am and by the way the name is Soul." he turned back around and started to play.

As his fingers hit the keys a dark eerie noise filled the room. Though it sounded dark, she could tell he was putting all his emotions in what he was playing and it was even more beautiful than the last piece he played. She could relate to this boy and the song was drawing her closer to him. Her feet bringing her right behind him as he continue to stroke the keys. Once he was done he turned around and gave her a grin, showing off his shark like teeth.

"So what do you say pi.. I mean Maka, partners?" he caught himself before she could protest about her name and stuck his hand out.

She looked at him for a moment weighing down the pros and cons on having him as a partner. He was want she wanted but the wrong gender. Could she really put her faith in him? Something about that piece made her want to know more about him that her subconscious had already decided for her when she first heard him play.

"Partners." she took his hand into hers and shook. They would go to the registry tomorrow and sign up officially.

"Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaka."

"Blair I'm getting to it I promise, but I wanted to tell you how we became partners first before telling you how we ended up living together."

"Fiiiiiiiine but hurry I wanna know."

After a few months of partnering up, Maka knew she had a lot of work with Soul. He didn't talk much about his life and where he came from before coming to Death City but she knew that he has a lot to learn about this kind of life style. The two had their arguments but nothing that they couldn't compromise later on. She had opened up a little bit to him about her trust issues with the male population. He had vowed to make her see that not all guys are the same and that he could trust her.

It was a Thursday night and she was walking back home from the library. Her papa wasn't happy that she had partner with a boy which made her happy that it irritated him. She walked inside the house only to once again come home to her papa escorting around with two random women. Anger, frustration and hurt hit her as she turned the other way and ran to one place she knew she could go. After ten minutes of running, she made her way up a flight of stairs, down the hall to apartment 18. Knocking repeatedly on it making it sound like she was banging on it, the door opened, revealing an angry Soul. His face soften up when he saw it was Maka, who looked like she was about to burst into tears. Moving aside, allowing her to come in he closed the door and turned back to be tackled by brute force. Maka had lunge herself into Soul, tears failing to stay put. Soul not knowing how to deal with upset girls just wrapped his arms around her waist.

"What happened Maka? Your not injured are you?" he asked with a tint of concern in his voice, daring not to move them. She just shook her head as her tears continue to fall.

"Not a mind reader here Maka. You wanna tell me what's wrong? We can sit down if you want. Do you wanna sit down?" he asked feeling her head nod. He moved them over to the couch. Pulling away slightly, he lowered his face to look at hers. Though they had become partners, he wasn't use to people breaking down in front of him.

"Maka talk to me, please."

"Papa he's at it again. Mama has only been gone a few months and he acts like she has been gone longer. They aren't even divorce yet and he is bringing women home every night. I can't take it anymore Soul. He says he loves mama and I but then acts like he is a single man! I can't keep coming home to that Soul." a fresh batch of tears sprung. He began to rub her back, letting her get this out of her system.

"Then move in with me Maka."

"Wait what?"

"I said move in here with me Maka. We are partners after all and cool partners look out for each other. After all we are a cool team and your dad really has no say as Lord Death prefers meisters/weapons pairs to live with one another."he shot her his famous smirk making her smile.

"Thank you Soul." she hugged him tight.

"Anytime Maka. Stay tonight and we can get your stuff tomorrow after we go to the office and get your living situation sorted or whatever it is we have to do." he said, unwrapping his arms and getting her some clothes that she might fit into after her shower and showed her where the second bedroom.

"Night Soul."

"Night Maka. Sleep well and don't worry everything is gonna work out."

"I know, thanks and by the way we are going to go over some basic rules tomorrow." she closes the door and he just shook his head, heading to his room.

"Awws even back then scythie-boy had a soft side. How adorable." Blair gushed.

"Yeah but don't tell him that Blair. He would kill me if he knew I told the real story."

"Too late Maka." his husky voice filled the room.

"Gah! hiii Soul, how long have you been standing there?"

"Since the middle of your story Maka. I thought we agreed not to tell the whole story to anyone?"

"We did but Blair wanted to know and I know she would keep pushing until she knew the story. You know how she is Soul."

"Yeah Soulie I wanted to know how you two became roommates. No harm is done now I know that you have always had a soft side for Maka. Which is adorable and I'm glad to be living here."

"You can thank mister softie over there Blair." she said as Soul growled at her.

"Maka." he pounced her from behind the couch and began tickling her. Shrieking in giggles, she struggled to get away from his grasps, calling Blair to help. Blair made a beeline out of there with a smile on her face thinking to herself.

They are made for each other. Shouldn't be long until they are finally together.

I know that Soma week was back in march but I honestly couldn't come up with anything back then. I am having writers block for my current stories when I got hit with some inspiration for the prompts. I'm going to post the others regardless because I can.
