Hey all! Here's my first Soul Eater fanfic! It's just a one-shot that I wrote a while back, and it's a rather random idea. It's...kind of AU, I guess. I wrote this when I had read just one of the manga, so...Please don't be mad if anyone is OOC!
Rated-T, for character death
Disclaimer- I don't own Soul Eater.
Too Little To Late
"Maka!" he screamed my name. Intense pain seared through my body and the corners of my vision darkened slightly. I struggled to keep my eyes open as Soul fell to his knees beside me.
"You idiot!" I heard Death the Kid shouting at him. Things had gotten out of hand so quickly…
*flashback*
"Maka, you can't keep going like this," Liz told me. I sighed. Things had never been this difficult. My emotions had been fighting inside me for days, never letting me sleep and making my concentration very off. Liz and Patty had noticed right away. So I confessed, I told them my heart was torn between two guys I'd found myself in love with.
Soul, the way he always wanted to be cool and he endlessly pursued his goals. The way he threw himself in danger and did his crazy idiotic things drove me out of my mind with worry, but I'd fallen hard for him. Cocky, stupid, reckless, Soul made my heart jump every time I saw him. When he smiled at me, I felt like my heart would burst.
Then, there was Kid. With his OCD for everything needing to be symmetrical, it was crazy. But he could also be kind and caring, and sometimes he'd worry his head over whether or not I was alright, 'because of Soul's stupid recklessness,' he said. I could take care of myself, but it was sweet he was so concerned.
I knew in my heart, deep down, whom I loved the most, truly, but I wasn't sure how to tell them without hurting the other one. "Just tell them, they'll understand," Patty assured me. Oh, she could be so naïve. But they insisted, so I told them that night, as they got into yet another fight over who I loved.
"Listen up you two!" I shouted over their fighting. They both turned and looked at me expectantly. "Look, I've thought it through. And I've decided…it's Soul." The look on Kid's face was one of pure agony and torment. Soul ran at me and pulled me to him in a hug. I felt his lips press against mine, and my brain was a few seconds behind, but when it finally caught up I relaxed and kissed him back.
Soul pulled away and he had that cocky grin that always made my heart jump. I knew in that instant, I could never love anyone other than Soul.
*End Flashback*
We went on a mission soon after, Liz, Patty, Kid, Black*Star, Tsubaki, Soul and I, and things got horribly out of hand. This stranger was tougher than we thought, and soon half of us were down for the count. The stranger had delivered a killing blow, and now my world was fading to black. The last thing I ever saw before I died and went to heaven was Soul, tears running down his face as he held me, begging me to stay with him. I wanted to say I loved him before I left, but I couldn't find the words.
I felt his lips press against mine one last time, and I heard him whisper, "I love you." Then, the world was no more, only heaven with no suffering.
...Eh, not my best work. But what do you readers think?
This is my first Soul Eater one-shot. I'm thinking about doing a fanfic about Death the Kid. Would anyone be interested in my idea?
Review please?
