Rating: T… May change.

Pairing: Soul x Maka

Hey guys! So, it's me! MusicSoundsMySoul 14, and yeah, ANOTHER story. I should really stop thinking up great idea's when I'm in the middle of like, 3 stories already XD

Anyways! Well, you guys are the judge for this story! You tell me what to write, and I write it for you. Yeah! I'm taking suggestions! So for example, if you wanted me to write complete and utter madness, well let's face it, I'd do it for you. Just tell me ANYTHING that you want me to write! But, just, make sure it'll at least make sense!

But if I think of some good ideas myself, of course, I'm gonna' write them out for you, but still! This is YOUR story!

Well, on second thought… Just ask me to write anything if you want. So long as you give me something to write about, I'll do it. I'll split it into different sections and what not. YEAH! DO THAT! I'm so smart! XD

Well so on after that, you've read the summary, which is sorta' what it's gonna' be about, but it'll probably progress with the one-shots. So guys, stay with my on another journey!

Here, we go!

Charm…

How does he show it…?

~O O~

Soul woke up early one morning, which is a change, and just lay still in his bed, hands behind his head and watched as his breath appeared and disappeared in front of him in the crisp, winter morning air.

He yawned and stretched, thinking about what he was going to do that day.

Maka isn't up yet… He thought to himself. He stared at the ceiling above him, then looked out at the shivering and frowning sun, it not beings its usual chuckling self, Soul clicked his tongue and reached to pull his warm and cosy blanket down off his body, when the cold air hit his bare arm and made him hiss from the contact.

On second thought… He pulled the blanket back over himself and sighed contently at the warmth, but remembered that it was a special day. Maka's birthday.

He groaned and, without thinking, whipped the blanket off his body and a chill went down his spine. He sighed and swung his legs over the edge of his bed and stretched again and stood up and cracked his neck and yawned again and walked over to his drawers and pulled out some socks and underwear, and then he walked over to his wardrobe and opened it to pull out a pair of black, baggy jeans and a blue t-shirt with his name on it. He set the clothes over his chair at his desk and walked out of his room, walking past Maka's door to hear her soft, light snores coming from her room. The Death Scythe smiled and walked to the bathroom.

Soul turned the hot water of the shower on and waited for it heat up, as he took off his pyjamas and threw them in the wash basket and brushed his pearly white teeth.

Once he was satisfied with his regular morning routine, he hopped into the shower and grinned at the soothing and relaxing, hot spray coming from the shower head. He dipped his stark white head of hair under the running water and it ran in small rivers down his face.

Picking up his shampoo and lathering it into his hair, he started to think about what he could do for Maka's special day. She was turning 16-years-old after all. It's a big day.

He ran a few ideas over in his head before one that agreed with him clicked in his head and he nodded, deciding how to play out the day. He rubbed the soap in his hands and over his body, and by instinct, dragged his fingers lightly over the scar he had across his chest from all those years back in Italy from the battle with Crona.

He also remembered that Maka was absolutely devastated for days while he was in the 'Dispensary' unit in Shibusen. Just remembering the state she was in… She… She thought it was her fault… She wanted to become stronger… She-

"No!" Soul growled and dug his nails into his chest and shook his head. "I can't think about that… Not on Maka's special day." He stated to himself and sighed, ducking his head under the water again and leaning against the cold, tile wall, making him twitch with the sudden change of temperature towards his body.

"And to think, Maka made me a Death Scythe not even three months ago…" He sighed. "God, that girl is definitely the coolest partner ever." He grinned and turned the water off and pulled the shower curtain back and cold gust of wind made him shiver and he grabbed his towel and wrapped it round his body, small droplets of water dripping off the ends of his hair.

When he walked back into his room, he took out deodorant and gel and dried off his body and hair. He ruffled his soft, white hair and grabbed his boxers and pulled them on, his socks on after and then put on his jeans along with a leather studded belt and lastly, his t-shirt.

He walked over to his mirror and got a little bit of gel and gelled his hair slightly, not too much and not too little, just how he liked it.

When he was satisfied with himself, he walked back out of his room and threw his towel in the wash basket and walked past his meister's bedroom again and cracked the door open slightly to find her still sleeping peacefully, a small smile graced on her lips and blankets tucked up to her chin.

Soul chuckled lowly and walked back out, closing the door behind him and went in to the kitchen to start on Maka's special breakfast. Her favourite too… Chocolate chip pancakes with orange juice.

He took out all the ingredients he needed and started up on the pancakes.

Not long after, he was finished. He grabbed a tray and a plate and stacked the pancakes on top of one another and added a tiny bit of chocolate sauce to the top so it dripped down the side and put her glass of orange juice to the side.

He quickly ran to his room to get her birthday card and present, but put the small box in his back pocket, and set the card on her breakfast tray and picked up the delicious breakfast and carefully carried it to Maka's bedroom.

He knocked on the door gently, knowing it wouldn't do any good, but opened the door slowly and walked into her room, carrying her breakfast carefully and walked over to her.

"Hey Maka… Wake up sleeping beauty," He said loudly, yet softly.

And it must've worked, for Maka slowly opened her eyes and yawned and looked up at Soul and smiled. "Good morning Soul," She spoke, a little raspy.

"Good morning princess," Soul smirked and walked closer to her and Maka sat up and Soul set the tray down on her legs, Maka's face lighting up instantly.

"Soul! You shouldn't-"

"Save it. Happy Birthday," He grinned and leaned against the wall beside her bed, looking down at her as she studied her breakfast and looked back up at him, still grinning from ear to ear.

"Thank you Soul. That's really sweet of you," Her grin died down into a soft, gentle smile and Soul grinned back at her, showing off his razor sharp teeth.

"No problem, enjoy it while you can, 'cause it's not every day that you're getting this," He laughed as Maka rolled her eyes and spotted the card and she picked it up and looked up at him with sceptical eyes.

Soul grinned again and went to sit on the edge of her bed beside her, pursing his lips.

Maka opened the envelope and pulled the card out. It was handmade that's for sure… And it was amazing! It had her name written in graffiti in her favourite colours – green and red – and glitter covered sections which, in the background, came to look like a soul. She smiled and opened it, and the first thing that fell out was the most shocking thing she'd ever seen. 100 dollars slid into her lap.

The girl almost screamed. "SOUL! Wh-what did you – I-I mean! Why! I mean -"

Soul covered her mouth with his hand and shook his head. "Just take it and accept it, alright? It's your birthday. You deserve it." He stated.

Maka narrowed her eyes and pulled his hand down from her mouth. "No, I don't. This is your money Soul! I can't take it from you!" She squeaked when Soul shoved a bit of pancake in her mouth, but her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she chewed and savoured the taste.

Soul grinned as she swallowed and she licked her lips and looked back at him. "They're amazing…" She sighed, looking down at the pancakes and then back at him.

The weapon nodded. "Well duh. I made them. Why wouldn't they be amazing?" He smirked as Maka swatted him lightly.

"Oh, I got you something," He said and reached into his back pocket and took out the box.

Maka stared at the box and blinked a few times before looking back up at him, mouth agape.

Soul swallowed and looked down at the box. "I, didn't know if you'd like it or not… So I can get a refund, but… here…" He hesitantly gave the box to Maka, and she stared at it for a minute before slowly opening it.

And when she did, her eyes widened, and her jaw fell open. "S-Soul!" She squeaked.

Soul looked down. Shit… She hates it…

"It's… beautiful…" Maka said quietly, making Soul look back up. "Soul, I… Where did you get this?"

It was a white gold necklace with a trinket that had, 'S+M… Partners' engraved in it, with tiny emeralds and rubies jolted in.

Maka's mouth slowly recovered and it morphed into a smile. "It must have cost you a fortune…" She shook her head and took her eyes off the beautiful piece of jewellery.

Soul merely shrugged and took the box out of her hand and took out the necklace. "It's your birthday, so I thought, 'what the hell?' Besides, it can keep me in mind," He mumbled the ending and unhooked the clasp and put it gently around Maka's neck and clasped it shut again.

Maka looked down at the trinket and smiled again and set her tray of food to the side and got up and hugged Soul tightly. "Thank you," She said quietly and Soul chuckled in response.

"Not a problem. Happy Birthday," And hugged her back.

~O O~

By being sweet to her on her birthday…

~O O~
