author note: Okay, so this is right when Stein goes mad and goes missing in the Soul Eater anime. She is Marie, he is Stein. I don't own Soul Eater- if I did then the whole show would revolve around Stein and Marie and how perfect they are together. XD
She was there to keep him from going mad.
It had the complete opposite effect.
Each day, he got slightly crazier.
Did she notice?
Yes, but did she do anything?
No. What could she do?
Tell someone? They already knew.
Every day, she sat by and watched.
She wished that there was something she could do than just wait. Wait for…
She didn't know, exactly.
Even though he was her meister, they rarely talked. It was mostly stuff like, "Good morning!", "I made dinner!", and "Good night!"
Every so often, they would have a conversation. They would smile. Laugh. Talk. Cry. Kiss.
She treasured these conversations.
But then, she could occasionally wake up with a new scar. During the time that they had lived together, she'd gathered a long scar running up her side, her left pinky toenail permanently stained a golden color, and a tiny, crisscrossing scar on her right knee.
Every knight when she went to sleep, she would always worry about it. What if he ends up killing me, she thought. You never know. He IS getting madder and madder.
But still. She wouldn't bolt her door closed so it would be harder for him to enter. She wouldn't run away screaming when she acquired a new scar. She-
One morning, she awoke and found a tiny scar under her eyepatch.
In the shape of a heart.
That day, he disappeared.
Touching the heart scar by her crying eye, she admitted something to herself, something that she hadn't really thought of before.
I love him.
She fell to the ground, sobbing, realizing that it was too late.
