It was after she went off to dance with her father at the party celebrating the founding of the DWMA that I realized that I did want to dance with her, and so when she finished her dance with her father I asked her for a dance, to which she happily agreed to. It was when we were dancing that I realized I felt more for her then just a best friend, or that of a weapon to a mister in a great partnership, more then anything I would have imagined, because it was then as we slowly danced that fateful day that I, Soul, was in love with Maka. Skip forward to where we were falling from the sky later that evening, I changed out of my weapons form in an attempt to cushion her fall, and as the wind whipped through my hair, the moon shun upon us, and Maka on top of my chest, safely surrounded by my arms; thinking that I was not going to make it at the velocity and distance at which I was falling that was surely going to end in a deadly impact on my part(but worth it seeing that it would save her life.) I whisper in her ear "Maka, I love you, remember me if I die today." , and then, we crashed onto the cold hard concert of the street, and the last thing that I remember before falling into the blackness of nothing was her beautiful face with a single tear illuminated by the moon, casting beams of light as if from a prism, falling from eyes filled with so much sorrow and wonder, and her magnificent lips forming the word 'I' and then, nothingness encompassed me.
Chapter One: Recovery
Maka's POV
I sat by his bedside, as I had been for the past three months, my eyes blood shot from the tears that had long since refused to fall. It was like the last time, when Medusa had been pretending to be the nurse and back when Crona had first surfaced. Except this time things didn't get better as quickly, it wasn't just one surgery, and it was so bad this time that they had let me in a sense camp out in the Infirmary to be by his side, Tsubaki and the others bringing me any school work that needed to be done, and occasionally even professor Stein in his more stable moments. I was so distraught over Soul's condition that I didn't even care that papa came to comfort me daily, if only one good thing came from this, it is that I came closer to my once creepy father, well still kind of creepy but bearable now. But when Tsubaki and Black Star, Kid and Liz and Patty, Stein and Marie and Crona, and even Papa are not there to keep me company or up to date I'm left to my own accords, and my thoughts run rampant with him, everything he has done for me and the memories, including the last time I saw him awake and livid, the last thing he said to me… he whispered into my ear as he tucked me in-between his careful arms, he whispered "Maka, I love you, remember me if I die today." , he said as if expecting to die, and then his words and their meaning hit me and then the ground hit him. I rushed to him, as the impact launched me several feet from his grasp, a lone tear falling from my eye down my check as I crouch over him cupping his face as his eyes began to flutter heavier and heavier "I…"I blink and the tear falls onto his face with my eyes clutched tightly shit, "I love you Soul, I don't know how I didn't see it before, but I do, I love you, okay I love you too Soul, you are my soul… Soul?" and the next thing that I do is cry, sob so hard, never leaving his side calling for help, and when help finally comes they found me asleep lying protectively over him, and they took him to the infirmary after convincing me that they were good.
I don't know what it was about today, but I was overcome by another sobbing fit, but unlike most of the others tears were produced, and unlike any of the others, as if out of a fairy tale, Soul, my Soul, awoke.
