Striped Soul

A/N: This is my first Soul Eater fanfic and I decided to use my favorite paring. This will either be a really long one-shot or an actual story with multiple chapters. That depends on how I feel about the direction of the story-line and what you guys would like to read. Any who, that's enough chatter from me, let's get on with the story~! (PS this is rated T for a reason, and will perhaps and/or most likely to be rated M later.)

Chapter One

When the pale boy awoke to the sound of his alarm clocks on either side of his room at the exact time they sounded, he felt a little bit weaker than he usually did. He didn't know why, but he decided to shrug it off and start getting ready.

As the boy sat up he rubbed his eyes cleaning the sleep out of them, popped his bones and stretched his muscles as he turned off the alarms and then headed for the bathroom. The boy groggily stood in-front of his mirror and stared at his reflection. 'My god… How horribly asymmetrical! I need to clean up.' He thought to himself as he faced his large tub and then turned on the shower.

Just as he got his loose pajama shirt off a young girl about his height with short dirty-blonde hair burst through his door wearing loose black short-shorts and a blue spaghetti-strap pajama top yelling at the top of her lungs "Good morning Kid!", which made the young boy almost lose his hearing. He didn't though due to the fact that this was his morning wake-up routine. The boy replied quietly "Good morning Patty… Why must you be so loud in the mornings?" as he always did, as usual the reply he got was "Cause, if I wasn't energetic, then no one would be!" with a huge smile spread on her face while a taller version of her walked up from behind.

The other girl was wearing a blue spaghetti-strap top as well as black long-legged yoga pants; she was about 2 inches taller than Patty and Kid and had longer dirty blonde hair. Her greeting was a much less energetic "Morning" accompanied by a yawn and a scratch for the back of her head. Kid lifted his hand groggily and replied "Same to you, now if you don't mind, would you kindly get out of my bathroom so that I may carry on with my shower?" Along with a small bit of annoyance visible in his voice. Patty lifted her hand above her head and yelled "Sure thing kid! See you downstairs!" while pulling her tired older sister out of the bathroom.

Kid shut the door behind the Thompson's and continued getting undressed. Once that task was done, the water was nice and warm, but not too hot, just the way he liked it. He climbed in and started to wash off; making sure not a single spot was left un-cleaned.

After the shower Kid turned off the tap and quickly got dried, though his hair still slightly damp. He wrapped the towel around his waist and walked into his room to the drawer on the right side of his room first, pulling out a pair of socks and boxers. After retrieving those, he walked over to the left side of his room and grabbed his neatly folded black and white suit that he always wore to school. He quickly got dressed and then made his way back into the bathroom to brush his teeth.

After all of his primping and cleaning was done Kid headed down the stairs to find breakfast already laid out with the Thompson sisters already eating. In-between each bite Liz would continue to add more nail-polish onto her nicely kept fingernails, while Patty who was sitting just across from Liz would add another fold to an origami giraffe. Once her giraffe was done, she would break it at the neck and fold a new one. Kid sat down at his usual spot at the head of the large table and ate his breakfast, lost in thoughts of a 'certain' someone. 'I wonder what he's doing right now… I hope he's feeling well, I can't wait to see him at school'.

Over at Soul's house

A silver-haired, pointy teethed boy slowly opened his eyes to the morning light and the light voice of his room-mate. "Soul! Soul! Soul, c'mon, wake up! If you don't, Stein will try to dissect you for being late!" the small girl called through the door which led to Soul's bedroom.

Getting no reply, the girl decided to just walk in and shake the shark-tooth boy awake. So she opened the door only to find him in his boxers pulling off his loose black t-shirt. The girl just said "Good, so you are awake." the reply she got was a slightly rude toned voice saying;
"Who could sleep through your yelling? Any who, as you can see, I'm getting ready for a shower so when I'm done I'll meet you downstairs"
"Okay then, I'll have breakfast ready when you're done" said the girl as she walked out and back down the steps.

Soul continued to get undressed until he was undressed completely. Walking into his small bathroom he turned on the shower and let it heat up to a point in which you could make boiling hot tea. He stepped in and let his skin redden under the heat of the water as he grabbed the shampoo. As he poured the liquid and lathered it in his hair he found himself lost in thoughts of a golden-eyed boy.

After a few minutes he quickly snapped himself out of it and mentally slapped himself. 'Just what the hell was I doing! I'm cool; I'm not supposed to be lost in thoughts of a guy who beat me in a fight when we first met! ESPECIALLY in the SHOWER!' He thought in a scolding tone of voice to himself. Then he realized something else; 'Wait… I was thinking of a guy who beat me when we first met…' his eyes then grew wide 'I was thinking of a… a GUY?' Soul then screamed at his realization.

When the young girl heard the scream, she knew that you almost never hear Soul scream unless it's something truly terrifying. She ran up and burst through the door of the silver-haired boy then started banging on the locked door of his bathroom. "Soul? Soul? Are you okay? What happened?" She stopped for a few seconds waiting for an answer.

Nothing came.

"Soul! Open the door! Are you okay? Why won't you answer! I heard you scream! Please answer me!" The girl shouted with urgency as she banged the door until the wood was bending with each hit. She paused when she heard the annoyed groan that she worried she wouldn't ever hear again.

"What the hell are you doing, Maka? I'm busy in the shower, everything is just fine. Ignore that scream, I just…" Soul trailed off trying to think of an excuse. Maka smiled and said kindly "It's okay, as long as you're not hurt." and then walked off.

Soul sighed in relief as he heard the gentle footsteps trail off. 'Okay, I was thinking of a guy, so what? I mean, he's pretty girly actually' he thought and then chuckled to himself. Soul finished up his shower, got dried off, and got dressed in his usual red pants, black shirt, and his signature jacket. He dried off his hair to the best of his sloppy abilities and then trailed downstairs to the usual morning smell of Maka's omelets.

Maka and Soul sat down to eat, Maka with her orange juice and Soul with a cup of coffee, the silence filled the air. The girl decided to cut it by cracking a joke; "So, you see a spider or something this morning in the shower?" and then gave a little laugh. Soul replied with "Yeah, it was HUGE too! But I managed to kill it using the spare plunger" in a joking voice. Laughter and giggles filled the air and both people were relieved that it was no longer awkward.

A few more minutes passed of nice conversation until Maka noticed the time. "Soul we better go! We're going to get dissected soon!" Maka said with a slight joking yet serious tone in her voice as she stood up and slung her bag over her shoulder. Soul followed lazily smiling and grabbing his bag as well while heading out the door, locking it behind them.

(Time skip! :D)

At The School

Kid, Liz, Patty, Black*Star, and Tsubaki all waited at the top of the many stairs for the last two members of the gang. A few minutes passed of chit-chat between the three girls while Kid and Black*Star stood next to each other in silence. Black*Star thought of starting up a conversation to keep Kid happy and to make sure Kid wasn't thinking of what he thought he may have been thinking of for the past few days. As Black*Star turned over to the pale boy, it turned out that he wasn't so pale, at least not at the moment.

Kid was staring upwards at the sky with a light tint of pink caressing his cheeks, obviously lost in thought. Black*Star wondered if it really was 'that' that he may have been thinking of. In order for Kid's attention to turn to Black*Star, which the blue-haired wanted so much, he started a conversation with a smile.

"Hey, Kid. What's up? You seem pretty happy there!" Black*Star said while putting a hand gently on Kid's shoulder.

Kid jumped for a second, and then looked over. "Hey Black*Star. Do I really seem that happy?" The pink tint lightened only slightly.

"Yep, so whatcha thinking of?"

"Well…" Kid started, and then trailed off in thought again.

"Hey! Earth to Kid!" Black*Star exclaimed while shaking his other hand in front of the golden-eyes.

Kid snapped out of it with another slight jump. "Oh sorry, I'm just feeling a bit more… Tired than usual…"

Black*Star noticed Kid was trying relentlessly to keep his eyes open and his head up, blinking and bobbing his head up and down. He then realized that perhaps the cause could be a fever or cold. An unusually gentle hand reached up and touched Kid's forehead causing another small startle. Black*Star thought for a moment before turning and facing Kid, leaning forward, and then placing his own forehead against the now slightly more flushed face.

As Black*Star did this he felt heat rushing off of Kid's face, a very high heat at that. Just as the blue-haired boy was going to say something, Soul and Maka reached the top of the steps. Seeing Soul appear snapped Kid right out of his rut, causing him to run to Soul. Black*Star thought that Kid ran to Soul so fast it was like a puppy waiting for its master to come home, which caused him to roll his eyes, making sure it was unnoticed of course.

Kid tried his best to play it cool around Soul, although at the moment it was kind of hard due to the fact that he was now feeling slightly light headed. "Hey Soul, good morning" Kid chimed with a slightly more happy tone in his voice which managed to slip out. Soul's face turned slightly pink at the thoughts he was having of Kid in the shower this morning, 'How could I have thoughts about this person in the shower? Sure he's girly, but he's still a guy' rang through his head quickly before giving his usual reply "Yo, Kid.".

Black*Star turned around hiding his slight annoyance at Soul for the slight pink that crossed his face, which Black*Star knew Soul thought no one noticed as he walked up to Soul just behind Kid. As usual the two shared their greeting high-five and the harmonizing "Yo!" right after.

As this happened Maka was dragged over to the three girls by Patty and joined the chatter.

"Hey, have you noticed something a little off about Soul recently?" Maka said, slightly worried.

Liz Patty and Tsubaki all looked at each other, then looked back at Maka and shook their heads no.

"Why? Did something happen?" Tsubaki said, visibly worried as well.

"Yeah, he actually screamed in the shower this morning. Soul screamed!"

Liz and Patty both chimed in, in unison "What?"

"Yeah, odd right? You never hear him scream unless it's something truly terrifying."

Liz then said "Well… Then the odd fever must be spreading. Cause Kid is acting a little strange…" while pointing over to the puppy like Kid, whom you could practically, see wagging his imaginary tail and perking up his ears while greeting Soul.

"Weird, right?" Patty said right after the other two girls turned back.

"Yeah, kind of…" Tsubaki said. Adding on with a worried tone; "Also, Black*Star has seemed to be a little more… Irritated than usual this morning as well when we got here."

All the girls sighed in unison out of frustration and curiosity.

The bell then rang signaling that if they didn't get to class soon, they would be treated like Stein treats endangered animals.

(Time skip! :D)

In The Classroom

Black*Star kept his eye on Kid the whole time through class, not caring about the dissecting of a North African tree-frog, mean while Kid snuck subtle glances at Soul, who had fallen asleep some time during all of this. Patty was folding her giraffes as usual; at this point Stein paid no notice to it, while Liz fixed her nails. Tsubaki had noticed, however, that Black*Star just could not keep his eye off of Kid, whom was sitting right in front of him. Then around the end of the class it seemed Black*Star got so frustrated that he snapped his pencil in half for whatever reason. Through all of this, Maka stayed the most attentive out of the seven of them, looking at Soul every once in a while to make sure that nothing was wrong.
