"Mmmm...ehh..." Maka mumbled as she slowly woke up. She squinted at the bright light. "What— what's with all the light??" she continued as the blob next to her bed slowly turned into Soul, who looked wide awake. "Di— did I sleep in?" Soul shook his head.
"No you didn't. It's 6."
"AM??" Maka nearly shouted before she burst out laughing. "Yeah, right. You? Up at 6AM? ON A SATURDAY?HA!" She tried, but couldn't seem to stop laughing. Soul slightly glared at her before his gaze softened.
"Yeah, yeah. Okay I get it. It's not normal for me to be up at this time of day. I'd be out cold right now, but do you know what day it is today?" Maka looked at him, a little confused, before a look of recognition then awe came to her face. She blinked. It was Soul's turn to look confused. "What? Why do you have that stupid look on your face?" Maka then became slightly irritated, but let it go.
"Sorry.. but... why would you?...wake up so early on my birthday? You never make such a big deal. You ALWAYS sleep in. And I'm not exaggerating. Why this time?" Soul slightly blushed when he realized that this really isn't something he'd normally do. He turned slightly redder when he remembered the reason for waking her up so early.
"I made you breakfast and..." he said cautiously.
"Oh my God, Soul! What'd you burn? Is it finally the end for our dishtowel? Did the flowers in vase's death come sooner than they thought?" Maka began to get up, but Soul stopped her.
"No! I just made you breakfast and I thought you might wanna have some before it got cold!" They sat in a moment of silence and Soul kept his head down, trying to hide the red color once again spreading across his face.
"Oh..." Maka said quietly. "Breakfast in bed?" Soul looked up at her, even more embarrased.
"Oh, uh, no, bu— but I can make it in bed if you want me to!" Maka looked at him in awe once again, not only because he was offering to bring her breakfast in bed, but also because he was blushing so much. Since when did Soul blush so much? Before she could any words out, Soul had gotten out of the room and left her there. What was that all about? What's going on with him? Maka thought about this for a few minutes. "I'm back..." said Soul, trying to balance a tray of food in one hand, while opening the door with the other. Maka quickly caught sight of the food she'd been waiting for. What wasn't burnt? The bacon? Bacon's supposed to be burnt-ish. Maka shook her head a bit and quietly laughed to herself. "What's so funny?" Soul said, looking down at himself and the tray. Maka laughed some more at how self-conscious he seemed.
"Nothing." she said with a smirk on her face. Soul quickly came across the room to gently place the tray on her lap and then ran back out. Huh? Soul dashed back in with another tray.
"Figured we could eat together..." Soul mumbled to Maka, who was playing with her food. "What? You don't like it? I can try to make something else..." Maka giggled and placed her hand on his, trying to make him stop babbling.
"Gosh, what's up with you today? You don't have to make anything else! You've done enough! The food is fine but apparently you aren't." Soul looked down at his feet as he tried to get the right words out.
"Sorry, I know its not like me. Its just..." Soul paused. "..I'll tell you later. Let's finish breakfast then maybe we could go out or something?" Maka was a little peeved. Soul wasn't acting like himself and it was driving her crazy. Sure the breakfast in bed was nice but not when Soul's not Soul. They ate breakfast quietly, and when they were done Soul took the trays to the kitchen. Maka then decided it was probably time for her to get up and ready for the day.
When Maka was fully dressed, Soul decided to change plans last minute. "You know, actually I'll take you out to dinner or something. Why don't you go out with Tsubaki, Liz and Patty? Or Blair?" Maka glared at him. "...What?" Soul said, unsure of what was about to happen.
"Nothing. I'll just go out with Tsubaki, Liz, and Patty. Whatever. You go do whatever you want. Meet me for dinner or don't."
"Huh? No, I didn't mean for you to be offended! I want to spend the day with you, but I figured you might wanna spend it with some of your other friends!" Soul struggled to find what he'd say next.
"Like I said, whatever." with that, Maka walked out the door and was on her way to Tsubaki's. Soul slumped onto the couch. "You don't understand. I'm waiting to tell you I love you..." he said to the closed door. He sighed and tried to make plans for what to do when Maka came back.
