Broken Friendships

Every since that day...every since they defeated the Kishin... Nothing has ever been the same... Maka is now 20, Tsubaki is now 21. Liz is 20. Kidd is 23. Soul is 21. During the fight with the Kishin they lost lives that meant everything to them. Liz was kneeling on the ground sobbing loudly. They were standing in front of three graves. The one the right was Maka's papa, Spirit Albarn. He had been the first to die during the battle. The one on the right was Black*star. He had been so injured that in the end his body couldn't heal his wounds so it gave up on him. He died a happy man however as Tsubaki was pregnant with his child. He got to see his love, partner and girlfriend and know of his child before he died. The one in the middle...was Patti Thompson. She died protecting Kidd and Liz. When Maka was trying to bring back Soul, they had all still been conscious but she had been the only one able to move. The Kishin was about to kill Liz and Kidd when Patti leaped in front and took their hits ending her life. They had later told Maka and Soul that when she leaped in front she was smiling her biggest smile and was laughing her best laugh. Kidd placed a hand on his weapon's shoulder and tried to comfort her with quiet soothing words. Tsubaki had tears running down her face as she stroked Black*star's grave. She had placed flowers on his grave. Maka had run out of tears to shed. She finished her sobbing before the others for once.

"We should go." Tsubaki managed to whisper before sniffling.

"Yeah." Liz stood up and placed a small origami of a giraffe. Soul and Maka gave their friends small smiles then turned and walked back to their apartment.

"No." Soul dropped his hands to his side as he held a bowl of soup in front of Maka.

"Why?" Soul argued.

"I want...pizza..." Maka mumbled (ran out of food ideas :D Bear with me here!) Soul tilted his head back but set the bowl of soup in the fridge and ordered pizza.

After Maka had eaten the food item she had been craving she was just walking out of the bathroom after taking a nice long hot shower when she heard the sound of a piano. Maka silently walked over to the living room where Soul's back was turned to her. He was playing the piano that Maka had gotten for him for his 17th birthday. Maka closed her eyes still standing in the living room as he played. When he stopped playing she was about to leave the room but when she opened her eyes she gasped. Soul stood in front of her. He then wrapped his arms loosely around her waist then touched his forehead against hers.

"What are you doing?" Maka asked him.

"Can't a guy kiss his wife without her ready to ask twenty questions?" Soul asked. Maka was just reaching for the book that was resting beside her when she felt Soul press his lips against hers for a few seconds before he kneeled down and kissed her bulging stomach. Soul smiled when he felt movement under his lips.

"Only a few more weeks." Soul muttered. Maka had her hands resting on his shoulders and smiled.

"It would've been better if they were here...Even papa." Maka whispered. Soul looked up at her and stood up again, cupping her face in his hands.

"They are proud of you Maka...Heck, even Black*star said that you were great...And that's a lot coming out of him." Soul replied.

"Besides...They never would've wanted you to think that they're Broken Friendships. They would have been rather pissed actually." Soul added. Maka nodded and rested her head against his chest as he run a hand through her ash-blonde hair.

"Thank-you." Maka muttered before she sat on the piano bench with Soul, watching his fingers play across the ivory keys...
