Soul sat and thought. It was 12:00pm and the night had benefits. Thinking was a necessity for the teen with conflicting emotions. It occurred to him mow late it was, but only payed attention to the city lights. Soul wanted to be alone. Soul's heart was beating a steady beat, but the trigger was close and as soon as he went near, it was pulled. All was good, but bittersweet. The thought of being with her gave him chills. Those chills resided in him almost every day. Soul sighed. She was never interested in him. Keeping it "cool" was the only way to hide his affections. He sits in his room countless nights and thought 'Ask her! Ask her!' but he never did. Soul looked out over the city on the top of Shibusen. He leaned over the side of the wall, watching people pass by, scurrying to their location.
"Soul?" a voice questioned. He turned to see the face of Black*Star's partner, Tsubaki.
"Tsubaki? What are you doing here?"
"I like to come here when I feel happy. How 'bout you?"
Soul didn't respond, he turned back to look out at the lights again.
"I know, Soul. It's hard for whatever is happening. Want to talk?" Tsubaki said. Soul looked over his shoulder.
"It's Maka. She..." Soul didn't finish.
"...completes you?" Tsubaki finished. "You like her, don't you?" Soul nodded.
"But I know she's not interested" he shot back.
"Do you know that? Is that set in stone? Because, you haven't tried, have you?"
Soul smiled.
"I'll see you Tsubaki" he said, smiling to his black haired friend. He stepped down from the walk and ran back to his apartment.
Tsubaki smiled.
"Go get her, Soul" she whispered.
Soul walked the stairs of his apartment complex. He came to his door and used his key to open it. The first thing he saw was Maka, breathing softly on the couch where she slept with the TV on. Soul smilied and turned of the television. He sat at the edge of the table and looked at the peaceful body soundly asleep.
Soul picked up Maka and carried her to her room. He set her down on her bed and tucked her in. Once Soul was satisfied with his work, he leaned in and kissed Maka on the forehead.
"Goodnight, Maka" he whispered, exiting and entered his room.
