Madness is Love

*Do not own Soul Eater...

Chapter 1: Confrontation

*Both madness and love can act as liberation from the mind but they can also act as the shackles of one's own oppression. When you begin to feel LOVE for something you HATE...Madness is born...

Click, click, click...The sound of that ratcheting effect as he turned his screw might as well have been burnt into his mind, among other things. It was late and Professor Stein had stayed after school hours to get some work done in the medical office before leaving; just some guidelines on how to dissect tomorrow's victe-Er-um... Subject, yes that was the word.

He stared blankly at his notes, perhaps smoking in the darkness with the faint light of a desk lamp to leave a glare on his glasses was NOT the best way to get work done. Bright light suddenly poured into the room, almost blinding the doctor momentarily, as his eyes had just become accustomed to the darkness. He spun himself around in his swivel chair to face the door. As his vision returned, he saw the school nurse standing in the door way with a surprised look on her face.

"Oh, Professor Stein..." she began with a nervous smile. "I'm sorry, I didn't know anyone was still here." the tone in her voice showed a hint of anxiety. Her heart nearly burst out of her chest when she turned on the lights and saw HIM sitting there.

Stein took a puff from his cigarette. "Oh that's quite alright. It's me fault for having the door closed with the lights off after hours." he bit down on his cigarette with an odd grin. "Which makes me want to ask we you are still here, Nurse Medusa."

Medusa frowned and tried not to do anything stupid, not that she was capable of anything of the sort but with Stein she had to take extra precaution. Medusa was a witch, a witch that had infiltrated the academy to study the students and get information on the school in general, plus some extra rather unholy things. She smiled to throw off suspicion. "Well I suppose my answer could be the same as yours, Professor. I'm just here for a little late-night cleaning up for tomorrow."

"Oh really..?" he asked a bit accusingly as he took another puff from his cigarette. "Cleaning up what exactly? Everything looks fine to me. "

Medusa just continued to smile. Damn him! she thought.

Stein was on the verge of trying to expose Medusa for weeks now. She might not have known but he had caught her during school hours on occasion sneaking around parts of the academy that a regular nurse would not have much reason to go. Stein rose from his chair and approached Medusa causing her to tense, but she held back anything that might show how nervous she was underneath that innocent smile.

Stein stood right in front of her and spoke without even looking down to meet her eyes. "I think this room is clean enough. Besides...I was just about to lock up."

Medusa dropped her smile. "We're both doctor's, Stein. This is just as much my office as it is yours"

Stein smiled. He could tell she REALLY wanted to get in there. He didn't want to act rude to her, that's just not the kind of guy he was, even if she WAS a witch. But it looked like he was gonna have to play dirty. "Sorry..." he said with a smirk as he closed the door behind him. "But it technically is far past time for anyone to be here. We should leave...BOTH of us."

She looked up at him with a frown. He could definitely tell that she was annoyed and slowly getting mad. He couldn't push it too far, but he had to somehow get her to leave.

Medusa was thinking a similar thought. She wanted to get by him but she didn't want to make it seem like there was something so important in there that she would have to push through him to get to it. "You seem to not want me in there..." she smiled when she thought of something to redirect the conversation. "Is there something your hiding in there?"

"Not at all." he responded nonchalantly.

Medusa aimed her head at the door knob. "Oh come now, Professor. Is it a dead body? I won't tell anyone." she giggled as she tried to reach for the door knob.

Right before she could touch it, Stein grabbed her arm, stopping her. She looked at him and faked a pained look. Shit! is what he thought to himself. Now it probably looked like he was trying to hard. Is mind became dizzy with excuses he could make up, or some kind of lie, anything to keep her from doing whatever it was she was trying to do.

"Um, Professor Stein...?"

When he heard her voice it broke his concentration. He reached up and clicked his screw a few times.

"Your hurting me..." she continued with puppy dog eyes.

By the third click of his screw he let go. Medusa swiftly brought her arm back trying to look as if he had hurt her. But he was still looking away from her. Stein tried as little as possible to ever look Medusa directly in the eyes while talking to her. He knew enough to suspect that she was an evil witch but there was something about him other than her being what she was that bothered him.

Every time he ever looked at Medusa straight on, eye to eye, his mind would overflow with mixed emotions that he was most not used to. It wasn't like he was in love with her; love is a word that simply didn't translate through him. The only woman that he felt the closest thing to love was Marie, but even that did not feel like genuine love to him; he simply felt that she was the only person he could not stand to see hurt.

Medusa was totally different. Stein felt some kind of compassion towards Marie that kept him from letting anything happen to her, But when he looked at Medusa, he saw someone like him. Someone who was also a scientist that understood the horrors of what that science could accomplish. And within that scientist he saw...what was probably the most beautiful woman he had eve seen.

Stein couldn't bare to look at her. Every time he did, he was filled with ideas of sin and lust. He didn't wan't to be attracted to her but he simply was and he hated himself for it. Was this some kind of lust that made him want to tear into her and marvel at what was inside? Or was it a lust that made him crave her body for sexual purposes?...Probably both

"STEIN!" Medusa finally shouted.

Stein had been thinking to himself the whole time, not hearing Medusa's calls. In that split second of confusion as he snapped back to reality, he made a fatal mistake...and looked down into her golden eyes.

She snapped her fingers in front of his face. "Stein, what's the matter with you? Say something."

She waved her hand in front of him to snap him out of his own trance. It was then that he found himself grabbing her arm again. At first Medusa tensed and nearly felt the instinct to kill, but gave a confused look when she felt the lightness of his grip. It was not firm like last time.

She looked up at him still confused.

"I'm sorry, Medusa..." he said a bit politely.

Medusa arched a brow when she heard no sarcasm in his tone but it took her longer that she would like to admit to realize that he just apologized to her. She wasn't quite sure how to respond yet so she waited form him to continue.

Stein began scanning Medusa's body. Every curve, every patch of skin that her clothes did not cover, everything that made her as beautiful as she was. Stein then grit his teeth and let go of Medusa's arm. He felt a small headache start to form in the back of his head and his mind began to wander once more. that is...until Medusa placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Stein..." she began. "I think you should go home. You clearly seem out of it right now" she almost sounded like she was actually concerned about him. An act of course, but even her voice was like music to his ears when she spoke right.

"Medusa..." he finally spoke. "I truly am sorry if I seem like I've been rude to you lately. It's just that..." he thought hard about what he wanted to say so it wouldn't sound suspicious. "You..." he instantly thought of something else to say. "Has anyone ever complimented you on your beauty?"

Medusa blushed. That seem rather blunt and it most certainly felt out of place. She didn't know what to say.

Stein clicked the screw in his head once more. This time, that third click triggering something in his mind, something that made him smile. He looked at her and tried not to laugh from seeing the blush on her face. He put his hands on her shoulders. He felt her tense up in response. "Nurse Medusa..."

She looked up at him. She narrowed her eyes in anger at the damned smile on his face but at the same time, she could see the madness in his eyes and could not help but force an angry smile.

He continued. "Or should I say...Witch Medusa."

Medusa's face contorted into a psychotic grin and Stein's grip on her shoulders intensified. There was an aura between the two. A killing instinct that showed both scientist were ready to murder the first one to make a wrong move. The gears in Stein's head began spinning at full speed, and the next thing he did could either save him or get him destroyed.

Stein came down and locked Medusa into a kiss. Medusa's eyes widened in shock. She was literally one split second away from unleashing her arrows to cut him to pieces. But once their lip met, her killing intent was completely neutralized.

She wanted to push him away but for some reason she could not. It's not like she didn't have the strength, she could easily overpower Stein with her magic. But for some reason she could not break away from him. Perhaps...Stein was not the only one with crazy thoughts...

Ever since she first met Stein, Medusa could see that his eyes were those of a murderer. Every day that past, she knew she would have to keep him off her trail but she couldn't help but want to know more about him. Medusa did not care for anything like love or compassion, they would only get in the way of her motives but she still felt some kind of attraction to Stein. Was it just that she wanted to study him? No, it was much more than that...

Stein finally broke the kiss and took a moment before smiling again.

Medusa looked at him with an unamused face.

He laughed a little. "Sorry...Just kidding..."

Medusa quirked her mouth into an evil smirk. "But you weren't were you?" she asked with an arched brow.

Stein smiled madly and shrug his shoulders as if to say Maybe...

"Did you also know that if you hadn't pulled that little stunt just now, that you'd be a bloodied mess under my feet?" she said still glaring at him with an evil smile.

He smiled back. "And why is it that a simple little kiss made you stop."

Medusa dropped her smile and looked at him pure rage but her smile soon returned. "Okay, Stein, seriously. What the hell are you trying to do right now?"

"Why don't you tell me..." his grip on her shoulders tightened. "What the hell it is YOUR trying to do."

"I don't know anymore."

"What?"

He looked at her rather...normally. It was as if he had become a totally different person for a moment. "I apologize again, I know that was uncalled for. It's just that I thought it would help calm my head."

Now Medusa looked at him genuinely confused. The mood had shifted so drastically. "Wait...Calm your head?" she questioned. "What do you mean by that?"

He took a moment before responding. "I asked you if anyone hand commented on your beauty for a reason. For some reason every time I look at you, your golden eyes lure me in and captivate me."

She couldn't help but let out another blush.

"I'm not gonna call it love but there is something about you, Nurse Medusa, that intrigues me. You peak my very interest."

Medusa continued to stare and blush. She had never been talked to like that before. At first she thought that this was just a game he was playing but even if it wasn't, Medusa was going to play anyway but make her own rules.

"I see..." she began. "That's quite a lot to unload all at once, Stein. First you accuse me of being a witch and now it's like you have some kind of crush on me."

Stein tried not to break the expression on his face. In a way, he was not lying when he said any of that, but he was still on his guard for however she might react.

Medusa turned away and blushed again, this time on purpose. "I have to admit...that I have had similar thoughts...Stein..."

Stein looked at her surprised. He didn't expect her to say that and was she serious about it?

"I admit..." she continued. "that I have had my eye on you as well. I've kept my distance from you because of the same reason that you have kept your distance from my gaze." she smiled. "This is embarrassing, but...I think i feel the same way."

Stein couldn't take it anymore. Every cell in his brain was screaming at him to take her right there and Medusa's last few words were all that was needed to break him. His hands fell from her shoulders. One arm then wrapped itself around her waist and the other hand met at the back of her head. He pulled her in close and there lips met.

Medusa offered know resistance, not that she really did a moment ago, but know she almost felt as if she wanted this. She hated herself for it but she could feel herself becoming aroused and burning fire in her chest. Her arms then wrapped around him and the two backed into the door.

The door had not yet been entirely shut yet, so the two found themselves falling over into the Medical office. They both grunted when they hit the ground. Or at least one of them hit the ground. Stein lifter his head and slightly blushed when he saw and felt Medusa on top of him. She looked down into his eyes, also blushing, and a little surprised by the sudden fall.

They stared at each other for what seemed like hours. Stein tried not to but he could feel himself get hard with beautiful blonde nurse laying on top of him. Medusa felt his growing erection against her crotch. "Stein..." she said quietly.

"Medusa..." he responded.

They brought their faces closer, preparing to once again lock lips. Neither of them could believe they were doing this but Medusa felt twice as bad. She felt as if she was tainting herself, doing this with a simple meister. But she felt even worse knowing that a small part of her wanted this.

Her hands found themselves pulling away Stein's coat. He brought himself up bringing her with and dropping the coat to the floor. He retorted by removing her own coat, her obediently pulling her arms away from the sleeves. Stein's eyes fell on Medusa's long elegant arms only moments before noticing the snake tattoos wrapping around them.

Stein smiled and broke the kiss. "Are those your witch tattoos?" he asked sarcastically.

She smiled evilly. "You seem to be very convinced that I am a witch, Stein."

"That's because I know you are." he responded with a mad grin.

"Fine then..." she brought her hands up and cupped the sides of his face, bringing it back to hers. "Then I guess I'm a witch..." she whispered the words passionately into his ear. Her breath was hot and her voice was endearing.

Stein stood up off the ground bringing her with him. He immediately sat her down on one of the hospital beds, leaning over her and pressing his lips into hers. Medusa slid her hands under his shirt and up his chest. She let out a small purr from felling his perfectly chiseled abs.

He brought himself away and removed his shirt, Medusa mesmerized by the view. He came back down and continued to kiss her as his hands found their way to the back of the collar that kept up her dress. As he began to undo the small string that kept her clothed, she forced his hands away. She looked at him scornfully but her face was beet red.

He laughed at this. "Don't tell me your embarrassed, Medusa."

Medusa wasn't exactly open to the idea of letting her enemy see her unclothed but she couldn't loose her cool now. "Shut up." was all she said. She then looked to the side and blushed even harder, almost looking as if she was about to cry from the embarrassment. "It's just been a while, okay..."

Stein gave her a sympathetic look. He grabbed her chin and had her look him in the eyes. "I'm sorry...we don't have to do this if you don't want to."

When Medusa looked at him, a strange feeling washed over her. For some reason she felt herself filled with the desire to go all the way with him. She closed her eyes and several things came to her mind. She wanted to tell him to get off. She wanted to tell him that she couldn't let this happen. But what came out of her mouth was: "Go ahead..."

Stein nodded and proceeded to remove her dress, unhooking it from her torso, and pulling the skirt from her legs. She sat in front of him in nothing but her bra and panties, blushing more red than ever. Her undergarments were black and her panties had a vector arrow traveling down her bum, wrapping around and conveniently pointing at her womanhood.

Medusa almost didn't want to look at Stein, for the first time in a while, she had felt true shame. Perhaps 'shame' wasn't the best word to describe what she felt but she knew that she put herself in this situation and it was too late to turn back.

While Stein was the one leading this, he too felt a little nervous. If he was going to go all the way through with this, then that would mean sleeping with the enemy! But as he started to think about it, he realized he didn't care. He came to realize that all the things he said were true and whether or not what he felt for Medusa was love, he knew that he wanted her. "Do you want to stop?" he asked sincerely.

Medusa shook her head and finally brought herself to be able to face him.

Stein nodded and slowly got on top of her. One by one an article of clothing was removed until all that remained were Medusa's panties. Medusa stared at Stein's body in awe. It was so perfect with the exception of the stitched scars from where he had experimented on himself, but those only added a uniqueness to him.

Stein placed two fingers under the rim of Medusa's panties and began slowly pulling them down. She shivered as the last article of clothing was thrown to the side. Stein was propped naked above her and Medusa lied naked beneath.

Medusa stared at his erection and gulped. It had been so long since she had felt someone inside her, that man that she used to create Crona with, but that was an experiment void of compassion. But know Medusa felt like she was on fire, each breath a little more nervous than the last one.

"Are you ready?" Stein asked.

Medusa hesitated but then spoke. "Yes..." she said quietly with a small nod.

Stein came down on her slowly. Her eyes screwed shut as soon as she felt him enter her. At first it was a little painful and she had almost forgotten that this is what it felt like. But once he stopped and began to slowly drive in and out, she began to realize just how great it felt!

Medusa panted as Stein drove in and out of her. The feeling was simply amazing. She bit down on her lip to keep herself from releasing a moan.

Stein couldn't believe how great it felt. He had been hounding this witch for weeks in attempt to expose her for what she was but now he finds that he has let himself get lured into her web of evil. He knew doing this would forever taint his soul but he no longer cared. This was just suppose to be a little game to try and make Medusa admit what she was. He knew that doing this would pull him into darkness but if that's what it took to keep her by his side, then he did not care.

This went on and on until the two felt themselves reaching their climax. Stein, realizing the consequences if he came inside her, tried to pull out before it was to late. But as he attempted to get up, Medusa grabbed him and pulled him back down. He looked at her oddly. "Medusa..." he said in between panted breaths.

She shook her head and smiled with her tongue hanging out out of her mouth as she panted in sync with him. "I know what your-ah..thinking...and I-uh...don't don't care."

"But Medusa-" he said in attempt to make her reconsider but she wouldn't let him. She forced him into a kiss and as she broke away, they panted together as the both felt themselves about to cum. They licked their tongues together and eventually fell into another kiss right before they came. Medusa's entire body shivered and Stein threw his head back as he filled her body with his seed.

They were sweating and panting as their bodies began to relax. Medusa couldn't believe she let that happen, but DAMN it felt so good. Stein lowered his head as his breathing started to return to it's normal pace.

"That was amazing..." Medusa hissed as a smile was finally able to form on her face. She lifted her head to look at him and wiped the sweat from her face. "My my...Stein..." she said between breaths. "I don't suppose you've done this before?" she asked jokingly.

Stein didn't respond. Instead he got up, got off her, and off the bed. She gave him a somewhat confused look. Did I do something wrong? is what she thought as she sat up on the bed.

Stein then grabbed her and lifted her from the bed. She barely had time to say "What the..." before he turned her around and bent her over back onto the bed. She looked at him very confused. "What are you doing!"

He smiled and could feel his madness overpowering him. The smile soon stretched into a mad grin that Medusa, for once, found unsettling. "Don't worry..." his voice was somehow soothing he could feel himself becoming an animal. "It will only take a moment..."

He then entered inside her from behind. Her face flushed red and she instantly let out a squeak. "How adorable..." he said almost mockingly.

She turned her head towards him. "Shut...up..." she tried to sound threatening but she couldn't. She wanted desperately to get him off and she was even close to cutting him in half with a vector arrow but for some reason she couldn't. As he drove in and out of her back entrance, she screamed and moaned with pleasure. She couldn't believe she was allowing him to do this. The shame she felt was unbearable but it felt too good to stop.

Stein continued to drive in and out. Bending over her, he grabbed one of her breasts and caressed it lovingly, causing her to moan even louder. The movements of his hand soon became aggressive and he began squeezing her boobs roughly.

Medusa could feel herself becoming wetter and wetter. She bit down on the sheets that her face was forced against trying so badly to stop screaming but she almost did anyway every time she could feel him reach her core.

what felt like hours passed and Stein once again came inside Medusa, Medusa reaching her second climax as well. Stein looked up at the ceiling, feeling his eyes roll back and a satisfied breath escaping his lips.

He carefully pulled out of Medusa followed and scooped her up in his arms, proceeding to gently set her down on the bed, pulling the covers over. She panted slowly and watched as he started getting his clothes back on. She wanted to get up. Get up and LEAVE, knowing the consequences that would occur if she stayed here like this. But she couldn't get up. She was so tired and she soon found her vision blurring away to black, Stein placing a caring hand to her cheek being the last thing she saw.

Stein looked down on her as she lied asleep. She actually looked rather innocent while sleeping but he knew what he was looking at was a demon in the guise of an angel. He obviously couldn't leave her here...

He then got an idea, one that might have mixed results, some probably more bad than good but it was the best thing he could think of for right now. He then began to pick all of Medusa's clothes off the ground, the next step would be a little tricky...

*My own little take on Medusa x Stein. I've done this before but not as it's own fic (or a straight forward one). I'm surprised at how long this first chapter came out to be but if you read it and liked it, do you think you could do me a favor? I would like to hear what I need to improve on to make this story really good. I like how this turned out but I kinda feel like I dragged the beginning and rushed them into having sex. But other than that, I already have how the rest of the story will go, there's still gonna be a lot of hurt to go through before these two can be together, but I can say I'm taking a different path than the real series.
