Early, December in Death City, under a foggy Sunday morning. A boy stirred from his slumber. Soul could hear the light pitter patter stirring around his window sill as the rhythm of nature filled his warm room. There was no school today; he could just lie there in his bed. Sink in the comfort, andnot worry about school.

A small squeal on the door hinges interrupted his thoughts

'God damn it Blair…' he sat up to see what she was up to this time to realize it wasn't Blair.

"Maka?"

"I thought you were Blair for a second… What's the matter."

"Can't sleep much." She strolled to his bed side and looked at him.

"do you mind if I sleep here?"

He choked a little. Did she just ask that? How uncool… no it certainly wasn't cool at all …. It was however 'adorable.' He thought while shifting over to half his bed.

"Thanks."

She plopped herself upright then ruffled her way into his sheets.

"Its warm in this spot" She giggled.

Soul couldn't answer. She was so beautiful when she laughed… and it doesn't help when her face was just inches away.

"G'night" She lightly breathed out her last word then drifted to slumber.

The feeling sank in over time he thought to himself 'When did she get cute.' He felt the air waft of her scent. She always smelt like warmth, It was sweet. Like wispy bubble yum. He could get use to this.

His arm unknowingly was wrapped around her waist pulling her in close.

"I'm so glad you're not Blair." He whispered to himself and lightly pecked Maka on her forehead.

The light splish and hymn of drizzling rain filled the room once more.

In the morning that same day.

Maka woke up three hours later. Tangled in him. His face lightly placed a few centimeters from hers. She couldn't help it , she traced his features with her hands. Maka wandered her fingertips to his cheeks and found their way to his lips. She left her fingers there to rest wondering what he saw in her.

'….flat…' She sighed out in shame.

She noticed her other hand had rested right over his chest. She felt the rise and fall of his chest as he kept each breath steady. That's when she remembered 'his scar..' The very thought rammed her full of guilt. 'I shouldn't be doing this' She blushed and burrowed out of his grasp. Straightening herself out and lowered her tiny feet on the bare cold ground she wished she could stay with him for a few savory seconds. But she knew herself… she wouldn't be able to control herself.

She drifted to the door and took in one last moment to glance over his sleeping figure…

'when did he get so handsome.'

With that last thought she gently squeezed herself through the door and pulled it shut.

She walked up to the fridge to pull out some eggs powder sugar and other essentials for making breakfast. She was in the mood for some comfort food. She had realized by this time she was taking a step she no longer wanted. Her mother took her way cautiously through this path and wound up betrayed.

Would she be the same?

Love was dangerous. It took hold of one of the most skilled technicians of all the world and crippled her. Maka could remember her mom's tears as she would wait up until the dead of night wondering if her papa was with another woman. But she knew he was always playing her off saying I love you, I'll always love you and mama he best.

Lies

Ugly lies that had burrowed deep into Maka's child hood and now scared her deeply as a young woman.

'Soul' she thought to herself. As she thoughtlessly started mixing ingredients and turning on the stove. She already had her answer. Had she not willing tried to reach out to him the first time they had met in the elegant piano room.

'I've loved him from the start.'

And her world was shattered, the barriers were gone before she could take back and sink into the realization.

A light breeze tingled up his arm where he had placed it against his meister.

'Maka?' Her scent gone; and her warm presence upright and left around with her. He smirked to himself as he smelt the sugary rich linger of French toast sinked into his room.

He waltzed out of his door and eased his way into the kitchen. 'I wouldn't mind if every day started this way. The word home was described by this. He never really noticed in her composed subtle way how she transformed this emotionally dead rich boy and shaped him into something deserving of a life.

There she was. Just watching over her fluffy concoctions. The smell was making him high, and he oddly liked the way that sounded.

"good morning."

She was startled and glanced back at him and quickly took notice how much French delight she had made. What made him chuckle was she didn't even know it was taller than herself by then.

"lost in thought?"

"sort off…OH DEAR HEAVEN ON EARTH IM GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" Maka yelped as she scanned he time reading on the over.

"Chill, at least have some of this breakfast. Clearly I'm not going to finish this off myself." He gestured to the plate.

"After shower and cloths!" Maka ended up botching her sentences over her hurry.

He just laughed his way to the mount of toast and whispered. "There's no school today."

He hummed to himself as he finished his third piece of toast.

"SOUUUUUUUUL!? What day is it today!?" He heard her from the shower.

He got up and leaned his body against the door "Sunday, I thought you wouldn't notice?"

"BAKKKKKKa!" She screamed through the rushing water.

"hey you're the one who assumed. I just went along. Great food by the wa-"

The door flew inward sending soul falling back towards a barely covered Maka. Everything happened too fast. Wide eyes met souls face as he tumbled on top of her.

There on the bathroom floor he was on her.

It was too tempting. Her fresh scent. The defenseless off guard expression that was oh so inviting. All and all she was covered to the bare minimum.

That's when her brain kicked in "MAKKKKKKKA CHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Soul just sat there on the couch flipping aimlessly through the channels…

Hours had already passed since Maka had stormed out of the house…fully clothed of course.

"Damn it…." He huffed as he rubbed his forehead. The perfect morning ended so uncooly.

Maka had left the house to get away from "the number one pervert of all time" as she had put it. She was over Tsubaki's house and told him to not wait up for lunch.

"She didn't have to take it that harshly…" he exhaled bitterly. The morning was too god to be true.

" FAG NUT OPEN THE DAMN DOOOOR AND ENTERTAIN YOUR GOD!!!!" Black star pounded and pounded at the door furiously.

"damn monkey get in here before the zoo finds out you escaped" Soul huffed in amusement at his old friend.

"you, will . NEV-ER GUESSS! What just went down at my crib!" He sang in amusement.

Wow this is the first time he ever wanted to talk about anything other than himself. Must be important. 'W-wait'… soul just remembered Maka was over there right now…

"You'll never believe it! Maaaaka-chan is actually wearing A SLINKY get up! Tsubaki said she should go out tonight, something about it being for her own good!!!! BWAHAHAHAH DAMN YOU GIRL ACTUALLY HAS SOME SWAG!" Black star howled in a blushed amusement.

Souls eye twitched "what did you say." Soul knew that them going out was nothing special what made it different now?... save the fact of Maka's supposed new look.

Black Star caught on to his questioning stare. And bluntly spat " I think Tsubaki's going to leave her In a club tonight…. Or something"

"no Tsubaki I don't think I – ugh- it's a little short. The fronts a little loose… My chest um… But my sports bra….I-I just don't feel like me without my wrap…" Maka timidly tried to reason with her friend

"Nope what's done is done and I won't hear any excuses." She trailed Maka into the darker bits of death city down town….

"THIS LOOKS LIKE SOMEWHERE MY PAPA WOULD BE !!!" She pleaded.

Get in there!

Tsubaki look back towards her friend "BON VOYAGE!" She stated clearly while shoving Maka ace first into a mob of sweaty horny teen.

'Great I'm in a club' She blandly tried to find her way to an exit. Without anyone noticing her.

"Hey there? Where are you going?" a huge man approached her.

"no where I'm going to meet my boyfriend…" She laughed off awkwardly still shoving her way through the massive rhythm filled chaos.

He grabbed onto her thigh and wrist. And breathed in heavily.

"I'm not letting a sexy little thing like you get away that easil-"

"Maka get down!" That voice… Her body moved accordingly to the demand.

As she ducked she could see a shiver of white fly over her.

Soul Rammed the heel of his foot right in the gut . even though he was twice his size. The impacted caused a stir and people were quickly pulling out stares

Soul scooped up Maka into his arms and dashed to the doors.

He threw her firmly on the edge of the bike parked outside the bar. The street echoed as soul revved the metal horse, and before long they were already flying past down town

"PHEW IM SAFE!" Maka sighed as they were whipped through the city on souls Motorcycle.

"MAKA don't test me!" Souls voice came to a growl.

"W-what?" Maka squeaked.

"I don't want you wearing those cloths, I DON'T WANT YOU IN CLUBS. Men are animals." She grasped his words bitterly.

"I'm so, sorry…" ' What was Tsubaki thinking?' Maka trailed on.

-some where amongst the shadows, and assassin and his weapon were talking. "YAHOOOOOOOOOO! Tsubaki ne, ne how'd it go!" The crazy boy pranced in joy.

"Better than we planed!" She giggled.

"Watch out soul your god has plans for you!" Black star chucked. Unknowingly rubbing the spot over his gutt. ' Soul man has a good kick' Black star thought….. 'not as good as mine though…'

The door slammed shut as Maka trailed souls foot steps into their home.

"Maka"

"wha-UGH" Her words jumped with her as she was slammed against the door.

Wide green spheres gazed into his red gleaming eyes.

She understood now.

He was scared. Not of himself, not over the situation that had previously occurred. But he was terrified of her?

"I've been holding it in for too long. I've known my feelings for you steadily throughout our partnership. I know how your scared of me because of your father, BUT IM SCARED OF YOU TOO. I stepped out of my tiny world for YOU. I'd still be in my brothers shadow if not for you! Do you have any idea how terrified I am of being rejected by the one person who saved me from MYSELF!! "

They just stood there gazing at each other. For what seemed for eternity.

"What I'm trying to say is I love you Maka Albarn. And that shit you pulled scared me."

Soul couldn't process anymore. His mind went blank .

But now she understood what exactly had to be done.

Maka cupped his face briskly into her warm hands and pressed her lips to his.

The kiss only lasted a good few seconds but it lifted the heavy atmosphere and soul was still in a state of awe and disbelief but he soon took it all in. And excepted the reality.

"I love you too idiot." She hummed lightly as she melted into him.
