"Hey Maka is the laundry done yet?"-Soul yells from the bathroom, he just got out of the shower and is surrounded by steam left behind from his piping hot
shower and fogged mirrors. "Not yet sorry Soul, your clothes are still in the dryer. I'll deliver them to your room when they're finished."-Maka says as she
stares at the dryer waiting for the load to be done so she can go on with her chores. A good five minutes pass by and while Maka's stare intensified by being a
smidge impatient the dryer finally beeped stating it's finished.
"Finally."-Maka says out loud as she opens the dryer immediately to get Soul's clothes "Hot, Hot, Hot clothes."-Maka thinks to herself as she rushes to
give them to soul so she can continue with her long list of chores for the day. "Soul your clothes."-Maka says as she knocks on his door and waits and
"Coming."-Soul says and not even a second later Soul opens the door shirtless with a white towel wrapped around his waist, water from his damp hair
dripping on his toned chest. And that's when she sees it the big ugly scar with thick black stitching on soul's almost perfect chest.
"hello Maka, Earth to Maka, my clothes?"-Soul says waving his hand in front of her face. "Oh yea right, here."-Maka says handing him the clothes, her smile
faltering, all she can think about is that sword meant for her doing that to him. He saved her, risked his life for her and all he got was an ugly scar in return.
"Maka."-Soul says in his low grizzly, raspy serious toned voice giving her that look like he knows what she's thinking and doesn't like it.
"Does it hurt?"-Maka whispers. Soul softens and takes Maka's hand and brings her into his room. "Touch it."-Soul orders. "What?"-Maka. "Touch my scar
Maka, then you can realize I'm fine and it's not your fault and you can stop worrying...It's just a scar."-Soul.
Maka just stares at him with a blank expression not knowing what to do when Soul just grabs her hand and places it on his scar "See I'm fine."-Soul. Maka
runs her hand up and down the scar watching Soul's reaction to see if he winces out of pain or flinches but he doesn't. Then Maka does the unthinkable and
starts leaving a trail of kisses on his scar. Each time her soft lips is on his skin he gets sparks "Mmmm Maka."-Soul says gripping her shoulders. "is it better?"-
Maka asks innocently peering up at Soul.
"n-not yet."-Soul sputters and Maka nods and starts kissing his chest again, but this time her kisses are trailing lower and lower, and her hands gently tugging at the white towel securely around Soul's waist and then...
BANG BANG BANG " SOUL Open the door you've been in there for a long time wasting all the hot water, don't make me come in there and Maka Chop you.
Blaire has been bugging me whining she has to take a bath. Oh and your clothes are fresh out of the dryer on your bed."-Maka says snapping Soul back into
reality, he stands in the shower dazed for a few minutes then turns the shower off and walks out into the steam "It was just my imagination."-Soul says to
himself while touching his scar smiling.
