A/N: I actually have a break from school to start a new story! Everything in Bold is a thought.

Yes, another fanfic with an Ellie Goulding song. Don't judge me!

On another note, I named this chapter after the first episode of Blood Plus.

Guns and Horses

Chapter One- 'First Kiss'

Today was the day, it was going to happen. The day when her true feelings were confessed. Just thinking about it made completely nervous. No I can't let my nervousness get in the way of confessing! It's happening today!

What exactly was she going to confess? Who the hell was she to begin with?

Her name is Maka, a sweet and loving girl who was going to admit her true feelings towards her best friend. Who exactly was her best friend?

He was one of the most laid back and smoothest guys you would ever meet in your life time. With his soft and incredible smelling spiky hair, piercing red eyes, and his signature smirk who wouldn't fall for him.

There was more to him then his looks, well to Maka of course. He became her best friend even before he blossomed into such an attractive guy. Whenever she needed advice or a good laugh, he was always there by her side. Every morning at the exact same time, he would be outside her house waiting for her so they could walk to school together. Same thing applied after school too.

What really made Maka begin to develop feelings for him was when the worst thing imaginable happened to her family. One day her mother had had enough of the life she lived, feeling so unappreciated and just unloved. She left without a word to her husband or daughter, leaving them both behind and heart broken.

He was there for her, whenever she saw her mother in her dreams and cried for hours. Leaving his house at 2 in the morning just to be by her side, she needed him and he knew that.

"Soul..." She said to herself. Maka was ready, today was the day the she confessed her love for him. Checking herself in the mirror one more time, she felt confident. Instead of wearing her hair in her normal pigtails, today she decided to let her soft ash blonde hair sit on her shoulders. She added just a bit of eyeliner and masquera to her makeup routine to bring out her delicate bright green eyes.

You can do this. You can do this! You can do this!

Grabbing her book that was on the kitchen counter, Maka headed out the front door. There he was like every day, leaning against the tree that stood tall in front of her home. He is so cool.

"It's about time you came down." He said standing up straight and walking towards her. Maka's cheeks turned a light pink shade.

Can I still do this? I think I can...I have too! I'd do anything for him.

"Sorry..." she said quietly, pressing her book even harder against her petite breasts. Maka looked down and began walking in the direction towards their school with Soul walking beside her, hands tucked into his pockets.

"Soul...?" Her gaze never left the ground. "Yeah Maka?" He turned to look at her. She was acting strange; of course he knew that because he knew Maka better than anyone else in the world.

"There'something I have to tell you..."

This is it! You can do this!

"For a long time now, I've had these feelings..." They both stopped walking and faced each other. She looked into his eyes only to see him gazing back. "...For you."

Soul was panicking on the inside. He tried his hardest to restrain himself from reacting because he didn't want to hurt Maka. He cared about her yeah, there wasn't a doubt in his mind that he didn't but could he have feelings for Maka? He had no idea; this was all happening so fast!

"My feelings...that I have for are really strong." She turned a bright pink color. "So I need to know Soul..." Soul was seconds away from exploding. He wanted to run far away, but at the same time he couldn't live with himself if he ever hurt Maka. He would kill anyone that ever broke her heart! So would those rules still apply if it was him that shattered her heart into pieces?

"Would you accept me as you're girlfriend?" Her eyes never left his. What was he going to do? What could he do? He was just stuck.

"Maka...I-I don't know...I-I can't..." He began stuttering. Maka knew better though. She could tell by his reaction that it wasn't going to happen. If he did want her the way she wanted him his answer would have been completely different.

She couldn't look at him, biting her tongue to keep her tears back. Her eyes falling back towards the floor, Soul saw how quickly her expression changed. What had he done? He broke her heart, his true best friend. The girl with a heart of gold was now damaged, and it was all Soul's fault.

She couldn't hold back anymore. Her hot tears streamed down her face. Soul couldn't take it, he couldn't see her cry because of him. He ran away from her.

At this point, Maka didn't care. If anything, he ran away before she had the chance too. Her legs were weak, sinking her to the ground and dropping her book.

...

She had sat there for hours, just crying. How could you blame her?

You are an IDIOT! Did you honestly believe you were good enough for him? Did you expect him to say yes because he was your friend? Ha, guess what dipshit now you have no boyfriend or best friend.

Her thought screamed at her. That's when she noticed a scrunchie wrapped around her wrist. She extended the scrunchie and then let it go, whipping her soft skin and turning it pink. It made her feel...better. She kept flicking the elastic scunchie against her skin; after all she deserved it for being a complete idiot.

"Maka? What are you doing?" A boy stood in front of her. She knew who he was without even having to look at. He took her wrist gently into his hands. "Maka...why did you do this to yourself?" She heard his tone change, he was concerned? Maka looked up at him. "Maka!" he placed her wrist in front of her eyes. "Why?!"

She couldn't take it anymore.

"Because I'm stupid, pathetic, and worthless! I deserve nothing but pain! Because all I am is a insignificant!" She freed herself from his grasp and covered her face with her hands, loud sobs were heard. He was stunned.

"Maka, you know that everything you said isn't true, right?" He kneeled down in front of her. "You aren't pathetic or worthless, and you are definitely not stupid! What would make you think that?" She didn't reply to him, but her sobbing stopped. Maka removed her hands from her face. Her beautiful green eyes were swollen from all the crying she had done.

"Black Star, If only you knew what an idiot I am you would understand..." He was starting to get angry. She wasn't listening to him. Couldn't she see how much she meant to him? Who would do this to her? Who could make her feel this way?

What killed Black Star the most was that she was inflicting pain on herself. "Maka you aren't an idiot-" He was cut off; she didn't want to hear anything else he had to say.

"WHAT PART OF YES I AM ARE YOU NOT UNDERSTANDING? I'M FUCKING STUPID AND WORTHLESS OKAY?!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Suddenly, Black Star pulled Maka into his arms securely. Her eyes watched him as he leaned in closer, their lips brushed against each other's. "No you aren't what part of that were you not understanding?"

He closed the tiny space that in between their lips. Her very first kiss, was taken by Black Star. She leaned into him, deepening their kiss.

In that moment, Black Star was like the shining prince who swept away the princess on his horse and was ready to bring her back to his palace where their lives would forever change.

They finally pulled away. She buried her head into his chest, he held her as close and tight as he could. "Why don't I take you home Maka?"

"Okay."
