Chapter One: Goodnight Maka
Maka lay sleeping on the couch. The soft yellow lamp on the table next to her gave off a glow that reflected off her best features. I couldn't help but stare. 'Not cool Soul, stop staring at her, not cool...' But how can I resist? 'She is your miester, your best friend. Be cool...gulp' I leaned back on the couch next to her. My movement made her eyes open slightly. 'Dammit she caught me looking at her!' I looked away as quickly as I could, fighting a blush. Luckily, I didn't lose control of the color of my face or then I really would have been caught...
Maka's eyes fluttered shut and her breathing went back to its slow, sleepy pace. I went to carry her to bed, but stopped myself. 'What if she catches you stupid?! Then you will rightfully earn yourself a Maka chop... But... She needs to get to bed... Whatever. Maybe she won't get mad at me...' I scooped her up as gently as I could, along with her blanket, and carried her to her room. Just as I was about to put her on her bed, she muttered something. I froze and stared at her. Her eyes were still closed... 'Whew' I pulled the covers over her and left her room.
As I lay stretched out on my bed, my eyes were unfocused, deep in thought. ' I hope she doesn't say anything about her winding up in bed without walking... Maybe she won't notice... Sigh...' I went to sleep, still worrying about what she thinks of me.
