Soul's True Feelings

"Hey, Maka," Soul said, walking into Maka's room.

"Yeah, Soul," Maka answered. "Is something wrong?"

"Why would something be wrong?"

"You're looking at me strangely."

It's true. I am looking at her strangely, Soul thought. If only she knew. That would make everything easier. "Nothing's wrong. Hey, Maka, you know that I care for you. No matter what, I will be there for you and I will protect you, no matter the cost."

"Soul, what's this about? You have already proved to me that you are here for me. You have scars to show that you will protect me." Her gaze drifted to the scar on his chest.

"I, um, I," for the first time in his life Soul was at a loss of words, so, he did the most reasonable thing. He kissed her. After a few seconds he broke away. "Love you," Soul finished. "I always have. If you don't feel the same way, I understand."

"Soul," Maka looked into soul's eyes lovingly. "I do love you." She kissed him.

She feels the same way. She actually feels the same way, Soul thought. I can't believe that I was so scared. I was scared of nothing. "How long have you felt this way?"

"Ever since you played me that song on the piano. All of this time, I have loved you."

"And how long will that last?"

"Even after I breath my last breath."
