Sitting by the slightly cracked open window is possible the greatest feeling in the world. You can hear the rain falling down and smell the humidity. The breeze is the most peaceful feeling in the world.
Soul comes into the living room with two cups of tea. "Hey maka, I found some tea shit in the cupboard and I made us some" He had such an accomplished look on his face. His smirk revealed his sharp teeth, he's such a weirdo. "Thanks soul" I took a sip, it was disgusting. "What did you PUT in this?" "Just some tea leaf things and some sugar gosh maka"
Sugar.
"Are you sure it was sugar?" "Of course it wa- oh"
he sniffed his cup and drank. "AH GODDAMMIT THIS IS SALT, the hell maka why don't you label this stuff?!"
"Why is this suddenly my fault? You're the idiot here"
"whatever".
He sat by me on the couch I pulled up to sit by the window. Ever since we defeated the kishen we've had less to do. we've also gotten closer with all the free time spend together. "You think black stars done it with tsubaki?" I choked on air. "What the hell soul?!"
"Well they sleep together don't they?"
"Yeah but tsubaki is-is smarter than that." He chuckled and said "Well he needs to make his move at some point." I laughed
"I know, but I don't think a sexually advancement would be the best first move." "Pfft "sexual advancement" book worm."
"It's proper language soul!"
"So...what about you"
"huh?"
"Any girls in your life?"
"Uhhhh..."
He scratched his head and looked away.
"N-no like I would want a crazy bitch in my life"
"MAKAAAA CH-"
"NO STOP I just I don't know..."
He looked up into my eyes. His suddenly looked very irritated. "What you like kid or something"
"NO of course not, I always thought he had a thing for liz."
His face softened but his eyes were still on me. Would it be wrong If I got a little closer? I chucked and looked away to hide my embarrassment.
"What?"
"Nothing"
"Maka tell me"
"No it's nooooothing" I smiled and looked straight at the window. He had his hands clutching the couch cushion to his sides and grunted. I moved my hand closer to his to where our pinkies were barely touching. He sat up straight and looked at our hands; his blush is so adorable.
"Uhhhh so like there's this sushi place pretty close to here..." he paused and scratched the back of his neck " after it stops raining we can go check it out if you want "
Is he asking me out on a date? I mean he already lives with me, does he really have to do that? He looks so nervous, I'll just let it slip.
"Yeah okay that'd be great"
"You're paying for your meal"
I removed my hand so quickly it even startled him.
"SERIOUSLY SOUL!"
"What? I'm not your slave"
I scoffed,
"Such a gentleman"
"Okay I'll pay but ONLY this once"
"Thank you"
And we both just sat there, looking out the window.
