As usual Black Star and Soul were getting themselves into trouble, that therefore earned them a detention from Professor Stein. The professor assigned them to clean the library. It never seized to amaze the two, how quickly, and how easily, that room got messed up.
"This is all your fault!" "Hey! Not cool man! It was your idea to sneak into the girls showers!" "Yeah well... If you hadn't had a nose bleed we wouldn't have been caught!" "Ugh whatever... That wasn't cool at all... And it's still your fault." Black Star raised his fist ready to hit Soul square in the face when Stein appeared between the two. "You two be quiet and get to work. And don't kill each other. I'll be back in about an hour. I want this room to be spotless." With that Stein hopped back onto his chair and rolled out the door, closing it behind him.
"I want this room to be spotless. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!" Black Star mimicked Stein in a babyish tone. "Black Star just shut up and help me." The young ninja looked over to his friend who had already started cleaning. "Your actually going to listen to him?" "Yeah... Did you forget our first encounter with him? He almost killed you..." "No he didn't. No one can kill me! AHAHA!" Soul sighed. He'll never get it.
About fifteen minutes passed and less then half of the room was done. Soul was working fast and quickly but felt like he was getting no where. Black Star on the other hand, was sitting at a desk in the room reading comics. "Ahahaha! Soul you should read this comic! Haha!" "Black Star your supposed to be helping me." "But I'm a star, and stars don't clean." "Ugh!"
Just then there came a few rapid knocks to the front door, then two girls appeared, Maka and Tsubaki. "Hey guys. We heard that you were in here." "Hey guys!" "Hi." "What's wrong Soul?" "Oh nothing... Just Black Star here being a jerk!" Maka quickly walked over and placed her hands on Soul's shoulders, forcing him to look at her. "Be cool... Remember?" He took in a deep breath then released it. "Yeah... Cool." Soul smiled to his friend before walking over to Black Star. "I've done half of the work... rest is yours." "Oh no! You can't just leave me!" "Why not? I've done all this by myself." He said pointing to the half cleaned room. "Well... Well... So!" Black Star looked to his weapon and spoke to her this time. "Let's go Tsubaki." "But ah...-" "Come on!" "Okay..." Tsubaki ran after him and closed the door behind her.
"That was so not cool! Now I'm gonna have to clean all of this by myself!" "Soul please calm down. You scare me when your all aggravated." "I'm sorry Maka but... UGH! He just makes me mad sometimes!" "I know... He makes everyone mad. But your cooler then that, right?" "Yeah... But I still have to clean this by myself..." "I'll help you." "You are aware of what we did to get this work right?" "Yeah I know, Stein told us, but I know it was Black Stars idea, you just agreed to follow." Soul didn't say anything as a blush stretched across his face. "Come on, you have about forty-five minutes now." "Okay... Thanks."
After about fifteen minutes, the two managed to clean the room completely. The two were sitting on top of one of the many desks. "So... you got a while still before Stein gets back, what you wanna do?" "I don't know." "Oh..." "Kill Black Star?" "Not an option Soul." "Too Bad." He sighed, and looked over to Maka who was, obviously, starring off into space. She was wearing a bright yellow tank top and a black mini skirt. She doesn't wear her hair down often, but he guessed that today was a 'Hair Down' day. He thought she looked really 'cool' today.
Soul didn't make his types of girl obvious, but honestly, there was only one girl he liked... maybe loved... and that was Maka. Anyone who knew Soul, knew he wasn't a 'Touchy-Feely-Type-Guy', hence the reason why he had never told Maka he liked her. He thought it was obvious, maybe too obvious, but she always kept to herself and never asked him about it.
Maka never understood Soul. One minute she thought he liked her, the next he was pushing her away. She always drempted of being 'Soul's Girl' but obviously that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.
"So ah.. Maka?" "Hm? Yeah?" "You got a date for the dance next month?" "Oh.. I forgot about the dance." "Obviously not then." "Yeah." Maka lowered her head in defeat, but to her surprise Soul cleared his throat, ready to speak again. "How'd you like to go with me?" She quickly lifted her head and searched his beautiful scarlet eyes. Her starring was starting to creep him out. "What? Your creepin me out Maka." "Oh sorry... Your serious?" She could feel the blush forming on her face. "Yeah, why not?" He shrugged his shoulders and shifted on top of the desk to get more comfy. "Ah okay..." She looked away from him to try and lose the blush that now completely took over her face.
"Soul... Can I ask you something?" "Sure." "Do... You like me?" "Yeah, your like my best friend and partner." "No I mean... More then that..." The question caught him off guard. He knew the answer, it entered his mind as soon as she asked. Yes! I like you more then a friend... I think I love you! But do you feel the same about me? But he just couldn't get the words out, and he must have been thinking for a while because Maka's voice brought him out of his trance. "Soul?" "Huh what?" "I understand if you don't, I was just curious." Ugh Maka I do, you have no idea! Why couldn't he get the words out? "Maka I..." Ah screw it! If I can't say it, I'll show it.
Maka was not expecting what happened next. With almost inhuman speed, Soul moved in and pressed his lips to hers. Her eyes widened. She had asked if he liked her, not 'Could you kiss me Soul?', not that she was complaining anyway.
When he let go of her, they just starred into each others eyes. "Maka... I've always liked you..." "But.. I- You always pushed me away.. I thought.. You didn't like me... Like that..." "Maka, your one of coolest people I know, aside from myself." That made her laugh. "Seriously though, do I really look like a guy to give my life over and over for the same person?" "Yeah?" "Ugh never mind, my point is that I do like you Maka." "Well I like you too Soul..." "Good." She got less then a seconds glance at Soul and he had his lips pressed to hers again.
She was having problems grasping what was going on around her. First Soul kissed her, then he put his arms around her, and now they are making out. Maka tried to break free from Soul. The kiss broke but both of them were still breathless. "Soul... I-Why?" "Why.. What Maka?" "Why now?" "I've known you for years, why admit you love me now?" He thought for a second. "Because I'm a chicken." She began laughing. "Serious?" "Yeah..." "Oh Soul..." She wrapped her arms around him, taking in his familiar sent.
The two lost track of how long they sat there hugging. But they were startled by the sound of the doors opening. The two quickly let go and looked to see who was there. It was Black Star, Stein and Tsubaki. "Nice job Soul. You will be happy to know that Black Star has another punishment he must serve." "Good." Tsubaki bumped Black Star and he looked from her to Soul and scratched the back of his neck as he said, "I'm sorry Soul. I was being an uncool jerk." "Yes you were." "Were still friends... right?" "Of course... but I ain't listening to any of your plans again." Soul looked to Maka and winked. "Fine." "Anyway I'm tired, see yea guys." "Bye!" Maka and Soul left the room to head home.
"So Soul..." "Yeah?" "Does this make me your girlfriend?" She was kinda kidding around but also kind of serious, but he ended up answering her question without talking. He entwined his hand with hers and they walked and laughed before saying, "What do you think?" She smiled feeling... whole. "Soul..." "Yeah?" "I love you..." He smiled. "I love you too Maka... But lets not say anything... Just yet, kay?" "Kay." "Oh and one other thing Maka..." "What?" "If you want... I have a surprise for you when we get home." The tone in his voice sent shivers up Maka's spine, and she instently knew what he was thinking. "Okay." She squeezed his hand tighter, now excited to get home.
