What do you mean you're leaving me for Crona?" Soul stood, knocking the chair over in a hurry as he stared at his now ex-girlfriend, Maka, she turned away from Soul, fixing her black coat.
"I just don't feel it anymore Soul, I can't continue on like this…and, maybe it would just be best if we stopped being weapon and meister too." By this point, Soul was seething with rage. His fist slammed into the wall leaving an indention with a few cracks, this caused the blond to jump slightly before reaching the door.
"I'm s-"Soul dropped his head in defeat, knowing he couldn't win this. He loved Maka to death…but if this is what she wanted, then so be.
"Just go…leave Maka. Just. Go." He had never sounded or felt so defeated in his entire life; Maka opened her mouth to say something but, closed it in a matter of seconds. There was nothing to say, the meister nodded and left with a quiet goodbye. Soul slid to the floor, head in his hands as he tried to think of the things that went wrong in their relationship.
~Time Skip~
Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to two months. Nobody had heard from Soul since the day Maka called it off with the near death scythe, apparently everyone had heard of their break up, and the rumors began to spread like wild fire. Such as things like Soul had left Death City, or he committed suicide, it was outrageous.
Kid, Liz, Patti, Tsubaki, and Black Star made their way to Soul, and use to be Maka's apartment, and knocked on the door. No reply, another knock still no reply. Kid brought his hand up to check to see if the door was unlocked, and to their surprise it was. Patti poked her head inside calling "hello!" before being pulled back and being slightly scolded at by Liz.
"Guess he took it really hard." The place was a dump, trash littered the entire living room, along with tied up trash bags that were meant to be taken out, but never made it outside, and in the kitchen the dishes nearly piled to the ceiling, the stench of rotting food filling the entire area. Patti being the bravest, walked inside, apparently the smell not bothering her on bit, followed by Liz who let out a shriek.
"Something touched me! Something touched me!" she clung to Kid like her life had depended on it, Kid sighed and walked inside, the sound of a glass bottle rolling across the floor and he sneered at the disgust of it all.
"Hey Soul! You Here!" The blue haired assassin shouted, causing everyone to nearly jump 10ft in the air, a groan made its way from a blue door in the kitchen. Patti gasped and ran towards the door opening it, to reveal an even bigger mess than the kitchen and living room. Clothes lay in piles and scattered around the room, somehow on the curtain rod too, the younger Thompson sister walked over to the bed and poked a lump in the blanket, which in return grunted and pulled the covers around tighter.
"Time to get up!" the blonde tugged at the blanket, and Soul held on tighter.
"Soul wake up sleepy head!" she tugged harder feeling the comforter staring to slip a bit, she began to tug harder and everyone just watched from the sidelines, after what felt like forever the youngest blonde gave up and decided to let someone else have a go. Kid sighed in agitation, kicked everyone out to go get some gloves, mask, and cleaning supplies while he stayed behind and got Soul up.
"Damn it Soul, we can do this the easy was and you cooperate with me or I use force." Soul had didn't answer, but snored, and this pissed Kid off to an extent. The shinigami ripped the cover from Soul and tossed it aside, Soul was about to protest but shut up when he saw the malice in those bright yellow eyes of his, gulping he nearly kissed his life goodbye.
Liz, Patti, Black Star, and Tsubaki, didn't dare come back into the apartment when they heard Kid yelling at Soul followed by a series of crashes the sound of a…cat? And what sounded like an explosion from within in the small apartment.
"I guess he's up then." Tsubaki gave a nervous laugh, just as the door had opened to see Soul on the floor twitching with what looked like steam coming from his head, and Kid's foot on his back.
"Oh, I didn't realize you'd be back that fast." Removing his foot from Soul's back, he just shrugged it off and began to help clean up.
Half way through, Soul came to, and looked around the apartment to see everyone cleaning up, the death god walked over and handed Soul a duster and mask, reluctantly taking it Soul stood and began to help along with everyone else. And little by little everything in the living room was cleaned as well as the kitchen, Liz, Patti and Tsubaki ran out to the store to get groceries, this left Kid, Soul, and Black Star alone while the washing machine and dryer ran.
"So Soul, what really happened between you and Maka?" Black Star lay on the green couch while Kid sat in the arm chair and Soul leaned in a chair in the dining room, head tossed back in exhaustion, but snapped up immediately at the question.
"Black Star, I don't think that's a good question to ask at this time?" Soul grunted in response before he spoke.
"No, it's alright Kid, it's better to talk about it than later. So I was minding my own business and everything, and Maka comes in with this sorrowful look on her face telling me we needed to talk, my first initial was that she's pregnant but it wasn't, she told me it wasn't working out for her, and she just didn't feel it anymore and that she couldn't continue on like this and dropped me as a weapon too, saying it would be best." Soul had gotten up and sat next to Kid by this point.
"That's pretty low, even for Maka. But there's going to be other people along the way Soul, just give yourself time to recover from your blow and before you know it you'll be back up on your feet in no time!" Black Star reassured his best friend with a slight chuckle.
"Yeah, and as for you being without a meister, I can talk to father and see if I can work something out with him."
Soul smiled for the first time in a month, it made him happy to know that his friends were there for him, even through his roughest hour
"Yeah, you're right, it's not cool to dwell on the past and just look forward to the future I have." And with that said, the door opened to see the girls with an armful of bags.
"We're back" Patti laughed, and began to put things away symmetrically according to Kid, when all was said and done they all sat down for lunch, laughing and having a good time as if everything was back to normal.
