Maka thinks she has finally found love. She wants Kid to like her so she asks for help from her partner Soul. He knows a lot about what guys want from a girl right. But as Soul and Maka get to know eachother more through helping her learn how to flirt and be the perfect image for Kid, Soul finds himself falling for the shy yet strong meister. But Maka likes Kid...right?
Maka never took interest in guys. Although plenty of them took interest in her she did not repay the favor in the same way. She was a girl of work. Work was her top priority. Do it, and do it correctly. She studied too much to have time for anyone "special" at the moment.
Soul was the opposite. He looked at girls. He thought about them. He'd dated some. His grades were not of as great importance. Not compared to women.
Even though the two of them lived in the same house they never showed any interest in eachother. It was weird, some people thought, that Soul would not fall for the optimistic, head strong girl he lived with and shared his inner most life with. He was surprised when Maka came home with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"Did you win some prefect attendance award?" he joked and drank some milk out of the carton in their fridge. "Sadly no." she looked over. "Soul, god, that's disgusting. Use a glass." she shoved one in his hand and then went over to the couch. "Well why do you look like someone just showed you a good time in the library then?" Maka ignored Soul's pestering and cracked open a book. "Forget it." she mumbled and turnned the page. "Ohhhhkkkkkaaayyyy" Soul said. The phone rang. "You gonna get that?" Soul asked with his usual lazy attitude. "It's Kid." Soul said as he took a quick glance at the glowing screen. Maka jumped up a little too quickly and reached for the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello Maka. It's me Kid."
"I know." she smiled.
"Grand. Would you like to play some basketball with Patty, Liz and I? Soul can come too of course." Kid said with a soft caring voice.
"That sounds absolutely wonderful. Meet you in 5." she hung up and turnned off the TV. "HEY! I was watching that." Soul griped. "Well not anymore. We are going to meet Kid, Liz and Patty for some basketball." she said and grabbed her captains hat off the hook in the cloest. Soul crawled out of his sweatshirt and walked down with Maka to the court.
~ Maka's POV ~
Wow, he's absolutely amazing. He's so good at basketball too. I can't believe I'm thinking about Kid this way. I don't think about anyone this way. I wonder if he's ever thought about dating anyone.
"MAKA WATCH OUT" Soul yelled at me. I ducked right before almost getting pinnd with one of Blackstar's ninja stars.
~ late at night after super ~
Maka was sitting on the couch with her long smooth legs swung over the edge. She was deep in thought reading a book when Soul interrupted.
"Maka."
"What Soul?"
"Do you, do you like anyone right now?"
Maka was stubborn. She wouldn't let Soul just KNOW who she liked whenever he liked. And she didn't want to tell him that she had a thing for Kid at the moment, seeing as she had never shown any interest in anyone.
"No..." she ended up saying as her reply.
"It's Kid isn't it." Soul said as if he'd known the whole time and was checking to see if she would tell him the truth. Maka hid her face behind her book so Soul couldn't see her blushing.
"No, that's cool with me. I don't care. I know he doesn't like anyone right now though. But with my help I bet I could change his mind."
"You're really that confident?"
"Yes."
"Ok, I'm in."
Soul thought about what to teach her first. There were so many things to cover.
"Ok so, guys are pretty visual you know."
Maka raised an eyebrow suspiciously. Here hold on. Soul leaned forward and yelled "BLAIR!" The busty purple cat came in as her human self and sat on Soul's lap. She played with his hair and nuzzled up to him. "Uh, Hey Blair" Soul said awkwardly. "You can go now I was just using you as an example for Maka here." Blair laughed. "As an example of what her chest should look like?" Soul and Blair chuckled at that one together and Maka kicked Soul in the shin. "Thanks Blair I'll...I'll talk to you later." Soul said trying to dismiss Blair from his lap. She removed herself and gave him one last nosebleed and a kiss before finally departing to her room.
"So what was she an example of?"
Soul shoved extra Kleen-X's into his jacket pockets. Through a plugged nose he said "What do you think is the first thing any guy would notice about her?"
Maka knew the answer but she wanted to see if maybe there was ANY possible way it could be something different than the regular physical appearance.
"Unlike you, my flat chested friend, she's got real visual potential that guys look at." Soul said and threw out his Kleen-X.
"So you're saying I should do something about my flat chestedness?" Maka said un-amused.
"Well..." Soul joked. Maka slapped him with her book.
"No. You know how you always put your hair in pigtails? Well instead of that, try wearing it down sometime, blow it and curl it a bit."
Guys are super visual. They're either going to look at your butt,your chest or your pretty face before they actually talk to you.
"That's awful."
"What? That's how it works." Soul said obviously.
"No, that's awful that you assume every guy is as sick as you can be."
"I don't assume anything. I know.
