A/N: Hey, it's LOZnerd here, finally writing some more fanfiction. Ugh, where has the time gone, ha ha. Anyways… after watching Soul Eater, I let my mind wander, and what happens? This fic, that's what happens. Oh, boy y'all are in for a ride. I decided to think about what would happen if Marie and Stein's relationship when they were kids was more serious than it was in the series, and thus this fiction was born.

I DO NOT OWN SOUL EATER OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS BESIDES MY OCS. IZZI IS MINE. SOUL EATER AND ALL OF THE CHARACTERS ARE COPYRIGHT TO ATSUSHI OKUBO.

Prologue

At the DWMA graduation party, a young couple stood on the balcony.

"Stein…" the young woman with blonde hair looked at her boyfriend with her one good eye. "I think… I have something to tell you."

"So you've been feeling it, too?" Stein asked, turning to face his girlfriend.

"Feeling what?" She asked. She definitely wasn't getting good vibes from this encounter.

"We're drawing apart, Marie." Stein simply stated. "I think it would be best if we went our separate ways."

"Oh, but um…"

"I know break ups are rough, but you're now a weapon for Lord Death, and I need to continue my research."

"But, Stein!" Marie exclaimed. "I'm pre-." She was once again cut off, but this time, it was a very drunk Spirit and his girlfriend.

"Shtein… Marie. Did you take my secret make-out spot for yourselves?" Spirit slurred while his girlfriend hit him with a book.

"We're having a moment. Just buzz off already." Stein replied curtly. "What were you going to say, Marie?"

"Oh, never mind." She mumbled, and turned on her heel. "I'll be leaving now." At that, she broke into a sprint.

"Marie, wait! What were you trying to say?" Stein started to chase after her, but Spirit grabbed his arm, sobering up almost instantly.

"What did you do, Stein?" He asked in a growl. Spirit absolutely hated to see women cry.

"I just… broke up with her. I don't think it warrants this reaction?" Stein was now thoroughly confused.

"If I may interject," Spirit's girlfriend broke into the conversation. "Did she tell you what she wanted to?"

"Well, no…" Stein let his voice trail off.

"Well, since you wouldn't listen to her, listen to me." She said angrily. "She confided in me that she was pregnant. With your child. NOW do you get it?"

"Oh my god, what have I done?" Stein fell to his knees.

"She's probably long gone by now." Spirit murmured. "She's the type of person who wouldn't want to burden you anymore than necessary."

"But the child…" Stein trailed off.

"Is going to be adopted." Spirit's girlfriend turned on her heel. "Let's find a new make-out spot."

"Oh, uh… yeah. Good luck, pal…" Spirit followed his girlfriend, leaving Stein to reflect on what just happened.
