So this is actually my first story on the website, but not my first Soul Eater story. I made one before, but I didn't really like it. And if didn't like it, I didn't think any readers would like it. I usually finish my stories in a notebook, and then put it on the website, but this one isn't quite done yet, so I might need you guys' help with the ending. Anyways, please enjoy. I don't own Soul Eater. It belongs to Atsushi Okubo, not me…. Oh well… (BTW, this is an AU, so please excuse any OOC-ness or anything.)
"Tsubaki, do yourself a favor and ask him to dance!" A girl with dark blonde hair said to her friend. They were in a dimly lit room with music playing loudly throughout the whole room. The girl was very dressed very well, wearing a red dress, with her hair in curls. The friend named Tsubaki was dressed in a light blue dress.
"But Maka-"Tsubaki protested. The girl in the red dress held up her hand in front of Tsubaki's face.
"No excuses!" Maka replied. "You have liked him since forever!"
"Just go for it." A girl with long sandy blonde hair said. Beside her was a girl who looked like a slightly younger version of the first girl, with short hair.
"Liz!" Tsubaki cried. "You and Patty are in on it, too!"
Maka pushed Tsubaki in the direction of a certain blue haired boy that seemed to be obnoxiously talking to a group of people. Tsubaki looked at him, and then looked back at her friends.
"Black Star looks busy… Maybe later…"
"And when will later be?" Maka said. "Everyone knows that a DJ only plays like 5 slow songs the whole night at Prom. One's playing right now, so just do it!"
Tsubaki sighed, and timidly walked over to Black Star. The girls saw a little interaction, but finally, Black Star took Tsubaki's hand, and they went to the dance floor. The girls squealed.
"One step in the right direction!" Maka smiled. "By the way, where are Soul and Kid? I saw them a minute ago, but now I can't find them."
"I haven't seen Soul all night, but Kid wandered off somewhere." Liz replied.
"Hey, Maka!" Patty laughed. "Did you see Kid's hair?"
Maka shook her head. "Why?"
"He dyed it, so that he could be symmetrical. But he still made Patty and I dress up symmetrically."
Maka noticed that the only differences in the dresses were the color. Patty wore yellow and Liz wore green, but other than that they were the same: spaghetti strapped reaching down to the floor with studs going down the center of the top part of the dresses.
"As opposed to your dress."
Maka looked at her dress. It had an asymmetrical hemline and the only had one strap. She thought about her look more, and realized her hair was pulled to a specific side, too.
"You should've gone shopping with Tsubaki and me."
Liz sighed. "Kid special ordered our dresses. He forbade us to go dress shopping, just in case we found something asymmetrical."
Maka laughed a little. "Well, I'm gonna go find them, okay? I'll be back."
Out on the balcony, a young man looked out to the night sky. His white hair was ruffled by a light breeze, and his red eyes were concentrated away from the dance behind him. He sighed. He hated things like this. He only came for her, the one person he had spent about five minutes with the whole night. He felt a light pat on his back, and found Maka.
"Found you, Soul." Maka smiled. She stood beside him on the balcony and looked out at the horizon. Soul looked at Maka, and noticed how grown up she was. No longer was she 'tiny-tits'. She had abandoned that name long ago. Her figure was that of a young woman now. One that could get any man that she wanted. But that wasn't what he was most attracted to. It was her outgoing personality, and her individualism. Her extroverted nature that opposed his own made her all the more beautiful to him. And never had he met a girl as stubborn as him. In five short years, he had fallen in love with her.
"So, what are you doing out here by yourself?" Maka asked without looking at him. Soul snorted.
"You know I'm not big on social gatherings."
"Well, what about your date? Did "Well, what about your date? Did you just leave her in there?" Maka said, nudging Soul a little.
"Nah." Soul replied. "I came alone."
"What about your girlfriend? You told me you had one, right? What happened to her?"
"I broke up with her." Soul said. "After about a month, I realized my heart really wasn't in the relationship. Plus, she was worse than a teenage boy when it came to talking about sex. We'd have arguments about why we weren't having it, and so on. It was nothing but a waste of my time."
"Very mature, Soul." Maka laughed.
"Hey, are you saying I'm not mature?" Soul asked raising an eyebrow. Maka giggled a little.
"You have your moments."
Soul sighed. "Is there something I can help e your moments."
Soul sighed. "Is there something I can help you with?"
"Dance with me." Maka said, looking at him.
Soul made a face. "Seriously? Last time we danced, you constantly stepped on my feet."
"Well, I got better just for you." Maka said with a smile.
Soul was about to respond as he looked at the other students dancing, but instead caught sight of a young man with het black hair and golden eyes who was coming towards them.
"Good evening, Maka and Soul." The boy said.
"Hey, Kid." Maka said. "I was just about to go looking for you."
"Liz told me." Kid replied. He looked Maka up and down, and smiled softly.
"Maka, you look absolutely breathtaking."
"Even though I'm asymmetrical?" Maka joked.
"Yes, even then, you look beautiful." Kid replied. Soul rolled his eyes. It was just like Kid to come in and try to sweep her off her feet. He was very much aware that he wasn't the only one with feelings for Maka. He heard Maka laugh and glanced at her.
"So, I see you dyed your hair." Maka said. "It's too bad. I like your white spots. They're unique."
Kid sighed with frustrations. "Unfortunately, they'll be back soon enough. This is only a temporary dye."
Maka smiled at them and was about to start a conversation with both, but was approached by a nicely dressed blond boy with a confident smile.
"Good evening, Maka." He said.
"Hey, Hiro. What's up?"
"If I remember correctly, you promised me a dance tonight. If you aren't busy, would you mind dancing with me?"
Maka looked at Soul and mouthed 'help me', but Soul pretended to ignore her pleas. "She would be delighted to."
Maka cut her eyes at Soul as she was dragged off by Hiro.
"So," Kid started, "why didn't you dance with her? I know you wanted to."
"I could say the same thing for you, couldn't I?" Soul replied without looking at him.
"Touché." Kid replied, going to the balcony beside Soul. He sighed.
"How long have we known her?"
"About five years." Soul replied. "And neither of us has made a move yet."
"Well," Kid started. "I intend to change that. I've watched and waited too long. There's only so much a man can take." He looked at Soul. "I suspect you feel the same?" Soul just nodded.
"Then from now on, we're rivals." Kid said before standing up straight. He went back into the big ballroom, leaving Soul by himself. He heard fast music start up again, and soon after he was joined by Maka.
"You're a dick, you know that?"
"But you still love me." Soul replied.
"I guess so…" Maka said with false exasperation.
After a brief silence, Maka looked at Soul. "Hey, can I ask you a favor?"
"Depends on what it is."
"Well, I told my dad that since it was Prom, I was gonna stay out all night. But I don't wanna go to After Prom. So I was wondering if I could stay at your place tonight. I mean, your mom wouldn't mind, right?"
"I'm sure she wouldn't, but I don't live with them anymore." Soul replied.
"What do you mean?"
"I moved out. Got an apartment. But why can't you just go home?"
Maka smiled sadly. "You know my dad. He's bound to bring home a 'lady of the night', and I don't wanna be home during that…"
"I understand." Soul replied. "Well, I have an extra room you're welcome to, if you want." He was surprised by Maka flinging herself at him and kissing him on the cheek. His face turned beet red.
"Thank you so much!" Maka cried. "You're the best!"
"B-but I rode my bike here…" Soul said, regaining his composure.
"I have a change of clothes with me. But you might have to take me home to get my stuff really quickly."
"And if he's home?"
"I lie." Maka winked.
So, that was the first chapter. I hope you enjoy it. And like I said, this story isn't finished yet… maybe I'll make alternate endings like they did with paranormal activity… Yeah… I might do that… Anyways! Please Read and Review!
