First Soul Eater Fanfic so bear with me. Please read and Review. Hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater, if I did Soul and Maka would definitely be a couple and so would Black*Star and Tsubaki, I think…
Bittersweet
Soul you idiot, why would you do something like that? I thought to myself as I stared at his seemingly lifeless body. Tears were starting to form in my eyes, but I couldn't cry. I had to be strong for Soul, I had to be strong because he was, and I had to be strong so this would never happen again.
I've felt guilty in the past before. Guilty for an overdue library book, guilty for lying to someone, but this, this was excruciating. I couldn't stop myself from wishing it were me instead of Soul. I messed up, and because of that, because of me….
I can't even say it to myself. I need him, why doesn't he know that already?
At least Professor Stein and papa are here. I never thought I'd be happy to see papa but now I'm actually relieved he's here; it's…comforting. As the battle goes on, I look back to Soul.
"Soul?" I whispered. There's no answer, and I feel my heart break that much more. "I…I'm so sorry Soul. You shouldn't have done that. You probably hate me now, I don't blame you." I traced his facial features ever so lightly, and for once he looks so peaceful.
"Do you have any idea how much you mean to me?"I said just a little angry. "You were never just my weapon, you were my best friend." I silently begged for him to wake up, but he didn't. "I mean don't get me wrong, you annoy me like crazy too. You always make a mess, you're lazy, and you constantly tease me." I managed a small smile by this point. "But despite all that… I can't imagine my life without you." My voice broke on the last word and this time I couldn't stop the tears from falling, I didn't care that they did. "You're probably wondering why I didn't tell you sooner, simple. I knew you would never feel the same, especially not after this." I chuckled sadly at myself on how pathetic I felt.
The battle finally ended, with Chrona and the witch leaving. I looked back at Soul lovingly.
"I guess what I'm trying to say is… I love you."
