A/N: I haven't written anything for this anime yet. It's a shame because it's probably my fave show ever and I adore this couple. This is told from Soul's point of view and takes place in their little home on the couch. Sorry it's so short, but this was really all I could write. ^^;

It's The Way~A SoulxMaka Fanfic

...

It was the way you stared. How your round moss colored eyes bored into my blood red vision. Seeing right through me. Seeing past the demon that once lived inside me, trying to control me. Control us.

It was the way you touched me. How your frail, pale hands held me so firmly during battle. Your fingers dancing along the long scar across my chest. I let you feel it and I still see those eyes, glossing with tears when you think back to what had happened so long ago. I don't want you to cry. I don't want you to feel anguish in any way. It was all to protect you. A weapon was meant to protect. What kind of partner would I be if I didn't do this?

It was the way you are. Right now. The way your head rested on my shoulder. Your blonde hair filling my sight with your beauty. Your thin body feeling warm against mine as we lie on the couch this very night. I want to keep holding you. To never let you go. Never have you get hurt again. But you're too brave to stay away from danger. You don't hide even when death was staring you straight in the face.

Your eyelids begin to drop. Your thin arms wrapping around my torso as you drift off to sleep. My hand feels your hair. Your pigtails are undone, letting each strand of your gorgeous locks fan out against me. "Sleep Maka," I whisper against you. My fingers brush over your perfect lips. "I love you."
