5:30 AM.
Soul groaned and stood up, rubbing his bleary eyes.
It was his turn to make breakfast. Too lazy to get properly dressed, he simply shrugged the apron on and stumbled out of his room with heavy feet. Although he was tired he was more than glad to cook. After all it was his turn and besides he found it relaxing.
He cooked the usual, pancakes, eggs and as a funny joke, he used the ketchup to make a drawing of a soul on the top of her pancake stack. He snickered just as she walked in still half asleep. He grinned and pulled the chair back so she could sit but she only glanced at the food and smiled closing her eyes. She leaned into him wrapping her arms around him. He smiled and hugged her back.
"Morning Soul.." she mumbled stepping back to rub her eyes.

"Mornin'. Foods right there. I'm going back to bed.." he said about to leave. She hugged him again and leaned against him. He stumbled hitting the wall with a small groan.
Her grip on him tightened and he hugged her again, holding her. She looked up at him and he leaned down to kiss her. She looked surprised but didn't mind as she closed her eyes, her face turning bright red. Soul was surprised she didn't push him away and run out of the room. He pulled away slightly and she buried her head into his shirt. "Sorry if you didn-"
"I didn't mind.." he heard her mumble barely audible.
He tightened his grip on her suddenly overcome with emotion for his meister. It was strange for him but he wanted her to know how much he really appreciated her. Without her he'd probably still be unclaimed.

"Thanks.." he mumbled quietly.
"Mhm." She knew what he was feeling and began to cry from the overwhelming gratitude he felt.
"W-why are you crying?!" He asked as he ran and came back with tissues for her. She took them and laughed at his concern.
"I'm happy Soul."
"Oh...well good." He said rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, a light blush on his face.

"You're eating that pancake you put ketchup on by the way."
"W-what?! No that's gross."
"MAAKKAAA-"
Oh god not the Maka chop-
"OK I'LL EAT IT."
