Part one of this two-shot, from Maka's point of view.

Enjoy :)

'Today I'm going to tell him- I'm finally going to tell him how I feel,'

the brunette meister jumped up from her desk. She had been trying to study, but to no avail. She couldn't get him out of her mind.

Even Maka didn't really know when she developed those feelings towards him. At first she just thought he was an idiot, his only goal in life was to be 'cool'. All she knew is that at some point after Soul had saved her from Crona and Ragnarok's deadly blow she had become hopelessly infatuated with him.

"Soul," she spoke softly. He turned around and looked at her with a questioning look on his face. Maka felt her face grow warm and quickly looked away to hide the slight blush.

"Do you want to go for a walk with me? There was something important I wanted to talk to you about," Maka asked, trying to make her tone of voice as serious as possible.

"Yeah, there was actually something I wanted to talk to about as well," he replied. The two of them headed out of the shared apartment and out into Death City's streets.

Maka and Soul walked side-by-side silently.

'Soul seems to have something on his mind as well,' Maka thought as she glanced at him. Soul looked up and they made eye contact, emeralds to rubies. Maka blushed a dark shade of red, and violently turned her head away so Soul wouldn't notice. They continued to walk until they reached their destination, a small park near their apartment. Maka sat on a nearby park bench and beckoned Soul to sit down as well.

"Soul—"

"Maka—"they both spoke simultaneously.

"You first," Soul quickly spoke.

"It's just..," Maka sighed," You and I have been partners—meister and weapon for a while now... we've been through a lot together."
Soul nodded, "That's definitely true. We have been through a lot."

"And," Maka continued," something came to my attention recently."

"Yeah, like what?" Soul asked. He started leaning towards her. Maka started to lean in as well.

"That my feelings..." her voice trailed off, their lips mere centimeters apart.

"SOUL! MAKA!" they both jolted up from the bench. Black*Star and Tsubaki were running towards them waving.

As soon as the two reached Maka and Soul, Black*Star loudly declared, "I CHALLENGE YOU TO A BASKETBALL GAME!"

"You are on!" Soul smirked. Black*Star, Tsubaki and Soul started walking towards the basketball courts. Maka sighed a smiled a sad smile, then slowly followed.

'Someday I'll tell him how I really feel.'
