A/N: Here is the first installment of this series in order to celebrate 50+ followers on my writing tumblr (link to that is in my profile). Expect more installments later this week.

First prompt: SoMa AU Maka rescues Soul from getting his ass kicked because he's being a dumbass from professor-maka who you can find on tumblr and also here.

Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater, its plots or its characters. The idea of Black*Star being on the high school wrestling team belongs to aweseomasusual (also on tumblr and here) and you should go check out her stuff. Enjoy this weirdness.

Summary: Soul is an idiot who can't keep his mouth shut. Luckily, there's someone who's gonna look out for him.


In hindsight, it probably hadn't been such a good idea to antagonise someone who had already been pointed out as the school bully by his new best bro. But then, Soul had never been the best at keeping his sarcastic shit to himself. So really, it wasn't much of a surprise when said bully and two of his cronies cornered him after school and told him they were going to beat the ever living shit out him for 'disrespecting them' in the cafeteria at lunch.

And he had then, against all of his better judgement, decided to snipe back with something of the lines of "your faces have already done that, get some paper bags, geez".

He couldn't exactly remember what was said, his face was being ground into the tarmac a few seconds later.

Just as he was about to resign himself to his fate of getting his ass handed to him, going home, getting yelled at for getting into a fight on his first fucking day and then having to deal with all the shitty people in his new high school tomorrow for said ass handing, he heard the sound of the Lord.

Unfortunately, that lord was self-proclaimed and had hair dyed bright blue.

"Oi, fucktards, get your hands off my bro, or the great god Black*Star is going to destroy you!"

Black*Star was standing a little way off, fists raised as though to fight. He looked kinda dumb, standing in his wrestling uniform, but it was better than no Black*Star standing there to save him.

Soul was momentarily relieved, however that relief fled in the face of the bullies merely laughing at Black*Star.

"Piss off dweeb, unless you wanna get pulverised too!" the main bully yelled back. Soul could just about see Star vibrating with barely contained fury.

"Hey!" a little squeaky voice interrupted from behind them. All five boys turned to see a girl, blonde hair done in pigtails, school uniform and all running towards them. Soul recognised her vaguely as someone Star had pointed out as one 'smartass, but a cool one'. "Travis, you shit, the fuck did I tell you about bullying on my watch?"

Soul's heart just about fell into his stomach, kinda worried for the girl and he began to wonder if perhaps the bullies would go easy on her, since she was a girl and all. But the concern was not needed. As soon as the bullies spied the girl, their faces went pale.

"Shit, it's Maka!" one of the cronies yelled. "Run!"

All three bolted.

Soul sat on the tarmac in amazement.

"Oi, bookworm, I had it under control!" Black*Star cried, jogging over to help his friend up as the girl, Maka, ran up to them.

She put her hands on her knees, leaning over as she panted. "Yeah, sure Star. Whatever." He scoffed and she rolled her eyes, turning her gaze on Soul. "So, you're Star's new friend, the one who talked back to Travis in the cafeteria today, right?"

Soul could only nod, mind reeling with the idea that even senior bullies, guys that were two years older than them and nearly twice his body mass, were afraid of this tiny girl.

"What did you do to make them scared of you?" he blurted.

Maka blinked at him as Star started guffawing. He slung and arm round Soul's neck and said, "Now, that is an excellent story. Allow the great Black*Star to tell you all about the Freshman Incident. It's a great story, let me tell you..."


Another little note. If I enough people ask, I'll write a prequel that explains what the Freshman Incident actually is. I've got a few ideas...

EDIT: For those wondering, the prequel is up, called 'The (Actual) Freshman Incident'.
