Maka woke up but didn't want to move, her face still hurt like crazy from Black Star's punch last night. Ugh... I regret letting him hit me. Oh well... I guess I deserved it...She finally got out of bed and went to her mirror to look herself over. Her hair was a mess, she still looked groggy, and there was a huge bruise on her face. OH MY GOD IT'S HUGE! Her eyes almost popped out of her head at the sight. After about ten minutes of flipping out, she got changed and walked to the kitchen. On the table was her breakfast. He always thinks about me. She smiled to herself. "Hows your face feel?" She almost jumped out of her skin. She turned around and Soul almost walked into the wall. "You scared me Soul!" "Oh sorry...""Does it really look that bad?" " Oh um... It's not that ... bad." She could tell by his face that it was really bad. "Nice try Soul... Ugh! Great!" She sat down and slammed her head on the table. Soul walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder. "Want to stay home today?" "Yes... but I can't." "Why?" "Because... I haven't missed one day yet." "So?" "So I don't want to change that." "Maka just stay home, I'll bring you your work... Ok?" She sighed. "Ok..." Soul walked over to the freezer and pulled out an ice pack. "Here." She looked up and took the ice. "Thanks. See you later Soul." "See yeah." He walked out the door.
Soul was walking down the hallway when he bumped into Black Star and Tsubaki. Tsubaki started talking. "Hi Soul, where's Maka?" "At home." "Oh why?" "Because Black Star here hurt her." "What? She's home because of me? She said I could hit her!" "We know Black Star, we were there." "She's fine, she just has a huge ass bruise on her face, that's all." "Oh..." "She'll be fine." "Hey Tsubaki, could you pick up her work for me... like the classes that I don't share with her?" "Yes, of course." "Thanks see yeah." He walked away. "See you later Tsubaki." "Where you going Black Star?" "Find some kids to fight." "Oh... Ok..."
Black Star lied. He was in a fighting mood, but once he heard about Maka, he felt bad. Black Star stood right outside the door to Maka and Soul's place, but he couldn't bring himself to knock on it. He took a few deep breathes and finally knocked three times. He heard some rustling and moving so he knew she heard him. From behind the door he heard a voice. "Who is it?" "Black Star." "There was silence. Then he heard a few locks turn before he saw Maka. That is a big bruise... "Shouldn't you be at school, or out fighting someone?" "Yeah, but I came here instead." "Why?" "Because I heard about that." He pointed to her bruised cheek. "It's nothing Black Star... I deserved it anyway." "No you didn't." "Since when do you care?" "Can I come in?" "Umm... Sure?"
The two sat on the couch in silence. "Black Star... Why are you here?" "To apologise." "But.. I don't get it... Your never nice to... anyone... maybe Tsubaki... if she's lucky." "That's not true!" Maka was speechless. "Maka... Ive known you the longest of everyone. Don't you know me better?" "Black Star when we were kids... you were more caring... you didn't care about 'being on top' or 'surpassing god'. I barely know you now... I admire your strength and speed... but... on a personal level, I barely know you now... so I don't understand." "Ugh Maka... I wish I could explain..." "Why can't you?" "Ugh forget it... Forget I even came here today... Bye." He walked out before she could say anything.
Black Star sat at home on his bed. He just couldn't bring himself to say it. Why? Why couldn't I say it? I've had so many opportunities to... This was one too... why couldn't I do it? He was so lost in his thoughts he didn't even hear Tsubaki calling his name. "Black Star!" "Huh? What?" "I said where were you today." "Oh... Here..." "Oh.. you ok?" "Yeah I'm fine..." "Alright... well Soul is here... he wanted to know if-" "I'm coming..." He walked right by Tsubaki and to the front door where Soul stood. "You want to go shoot some hoops?" "Yeah sure..."
Soul and Black Star had finished their game, Soul won, 18-6. "Black Star what's up with you today?" "Nothing." "I never beat you at a basketball game." "So?" "Something is wrong." "Soul..." "Yeah?" "Do you love anyone?" Soul's face twisted in confusion. "What? Are you ok? Did you hit your head?" "No I didn't. I'm fine. Answer the question..." "Well yeah... But why are you asking?" "Just wondering." "Do you love Tsubaki or something?" "I don't know... maybe... I wasn't talking about her though..." "Then who are you- Maka... Right?" "Pfft! No! Why would I like her?" "You do..." He sighed. "It's just something that's grown over time. We've known each other the longest out of our group of friends." "Have you ever told her?" "No... I don't think she likes me more then a friend. Plus, I thought you two were dating..." "WHAT? NO!" Soul began blushing. "See I knew it." "No... Well... we've talked about it... but were not actually dating." He lied, but Black Star believed him. "Still..." "Dude why don't you come over to my place for a bit. I know how Maka is... Maybe she does like you that way." "Doesn't matter if she does or doesn't though, you two are together already." "Ugh I told you, were not actually dating, just come." "Fine."
Maka looked herself over again. The bruise was thankfully almost gone, she could return to school like nothing ever happened. She still was confused about Black Star earlier. Yeah they knew each other the longest, but still. She wished she knew what it was he wanted to say. Just then there came knocks to the front door followed by Soul's voice. "Oi, Maka! Open the door! I forgot my keys!" She sighed. When she opened the door Soul and Black Star were in the doorway. Black Star gave her a look that she knew meant, not to mention he was there today. She shrugged her shoulders and sat down on the couch beside Soul. Black Star sat on the other couch, opposite them.
Soul and Black Star began playing video games, so Maka went to go make popcorn and grab a book. Soul was sitting beside Black Star and he nudged him, and whispered, "Go tell her now." "What? No. Are you crazy?" "Do it." "Ugh fine." Black Star threw down his controller and headed towards the kitchen where Maka was. "I ah... Need any help?" Maka grabbed Black Star by the collar and pulled him into a corner where they couldn't be seen or heard by Soul.
Once they were out of sight she began asking him questions. "What is up with you today?" Black Star barely noticed her question. He was too busy trying not to kiss her. Their lips were so close. All he had to do was move forward a bit. "Black Star!" Still trying to keep her voice a whisper she yelled at Black Star. "Hn? What?" "What is wrong with you?" Ugh why do I always lose my cool around her? "Nothing Maka ok." He tried to get free from her grasp, but she pushed him back against the wall. "You lie. You were going to tell me something earlier... what was it?" He just stood there. "Black Star!" She moved in even closer, not purposely, it just happened. He couldn't take it any longer. He moved in until his lips were pressed to hers. She didn't dare move. When he pulled away he looked into her eyes. "I-I'm sorry... I don't know where that came from..." He lowered his head but Maka brought it back up. He searched her eyes, but found nothing. She moved in and pressed her lips to his again.
Black Star was shocked but still responded. She put her hands up around his neck, and he put his hands around her waist. She traced her tongue along his bottom lip. He parted his lips and began fighting for dominance against Maka. This kiss went on for a few minutes. But Maka finally broke it. They were both breathless. Black Star could only look at her, which made her blush. "What?" "Why did you do that?" "You started it." "True... So then you do like me?" "Black Star, I've liked you since we were kids, I've just never known how to tell you, especially with how you act." "I'm sorry." "Black Star, do me a favor?" "Ah sure?" "Don't become a softy... It doesn't look good on you." He laughed. "Ok, I wont." Maka looked at Black Star before kissing him again. She put her arms around him and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her.
When Maka and Black Star walked back to the living room again Soul was asleep. "Black Star... I do like you... but you know it wont work out right? "Yeah I do, Soul needs you more then I do." He smiled. "I think Tsubaki needs you." "Yeah, I think so too." She hugged him again before he walked out. Right before he closed the door he turned around. "Maka. I'm sorry for hitting you." "It's ok." She smiled and he walked out.
Once he was gone Maka walked over to Soul and pressed her lips to his. He pulled her on top of her. "What did I miss?" "Nothing Soul." She laughed before pressing her lips to Soul's again.
