This is going to be just a series of Soul Eater one-shots. They aren't necessarily always going to SoulxMaka they could be any Soul Eater pairing really. I just created this because I would I have small ideas that I would write down so I decided to put them here to share with you guys!
Anyway, I would probably post here on like Saturday or really any day of the week randomly in all honesty. Please continue to support my other stories as well as this one too! Enjoy!
I DO NOT OWN SOUL EATER OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS
Amazing
The strongest partners in the whole DWMA, maybe even the strongest in the world. Soul and Maka were known to be the strongest and amazing partnership the school has seen. Even if it looked like they fought all the time because of how different they both were. Some wondered if the strongest partners could break apart. Who wouldn't want to be partners with one of the strongest weapon or meister in the whole school? Both were so opposite of each other something would split them apart.
Soul was the one where at the end he had so much fan mail and partner request forms that he kept a recycle bin next to it. He thought it was a kind gesture, but he didn't need any of that stuff. He was perfectly content with his life and he was perfectly happy being Maka Albarn's weapon. Yeah, time to time it bugs Maka when she sees it but he has told her before to trust him and she does. Maka trust Soul just as much as Soul trust her. But it does make Soul wonder if Maka gets these letters and partner requests. Before he thought there was no way because Maka was just a nerd, but looking deeper into it Maka was at the top her class and one of the best meisters in class. What weapon wouldn't want her as a meister?
Soul was at the front of the school waiting for Maka to finish up a meister only training class. He waited for her and vice versa because they always walk home together unless the other had to stay late. He preferred walking home together than alone anyway. As he waiting he could overhear people whispering about him.
"Look its Soul!"
"He's so cool!"
"He's so intimidating but such a great looking guy."
"I wish we were partners!"
"Maka doesn't deserve him as a partner."
That always bothered him because to him, he felt like Maka didn't deserve him as a weapon. Soul may tease of Maka, call her a nerd and flat chested, but deep down he truly cares about her and works hard to just be at the level where she is at. If anyone was the cool one out the two, to Soul, it would Maka.
"Did you see Maka," Soul heard and look to see two guys standing nearby. "She did such a great job today in combat."
"She is so amazing," he heard the other boy say. "She scored 100% on the recent test we took. Finished first and scored the highest out of the whole class."
"Sucks tho that her partner didn't do so well," Soul got angry at that statement and wanted to go and punch him in the face.
"What sucks is how her partner is always making fun of her and teasing her. He really doesn't appreciate her and all her hard work," the other said. Soul listened carefully to what was being said. "If I was her partner I would never treat her like that. She is my hero, nothing but respect."
"Dude, you should totally try to ask her to be her partner," Soul's eyes widen.
"I want to, trust me," they both laughed and started walking away. Soul was just about to walk up to them when he heard someone call his name.
"Hey, Soul," he turned around to see none other than his meister, "You ready to go, we need to stop by the store and pick up some groceries for dinner tonight."
"Uh, yeah… I'm ready," Soul answered as they started walking.
"Soul are you okay? You look a little shaken up," Maka asked looking at him concerned. Soul just smiled and patted her head messing up her hair little bit.
"Don't worry about it Maka, I'm fine there's nothing wrong," Maka smiled and nodded as she fixed her hair.
They went off to store and Soul couldn't help but stare at Maka and wonder how many requests she has gotten. He wasn't so worried because she hasn't left him, yet. Nevermind Soul was definitely worried. What if he did cross the line? What if he said something that really did hurt Maka? Soul didn't know if he should let the thought pass or not. He didn't want to admit that those guys were right, but he knew that they weren't exactly wrong either. Did he really no show that he didn't appreciate her.
They were just finishing up dinner and Maka offered to start on doing the dishes. Soul was eating his dinner slowly. He didn't really have an appetite because of today's events floating around in his mind. He looked up to see Maka just quietly humming while washing the dishes and he couldn't help but smile. He stood up and put his plate in the sink but before he could walk away hugged Maka from behind. This caught Maka off guard a bit and she jumped startled.
"Soul," Maka said putting the plate down, "what's wrong?" He was silent at first like he didn't know how to respond. He just wanted to hold on to her, because he was afraid that if he let go she would leave.
"Nothing," He said and let go and Maka turned around to look at him. "Thanks for dinner, it was really good."
"Yeah, you're welcome," Maka replied a bit worried. Soul smiled and headed off to his room. He didn't know what came over him, but he was upset about it. He lied on his bed just staring up at the ceiling just thinking.
He realized that Maka truly was amazing. She displayed so much courage and was almost fearless in any situation they were in. It was because of her that he was able to get over so many of his fears as well. Soul smiled a little. That guy was totally wrong about him because he truly did appreciate Maka.
…
Soul waited again for Maka after her training. He couldn't help that this time, she was taking longer than usual. She usually came out as fast she can so he wouldn't wait long for her. He wondered if something happened to her so he went into the building to go look for her. After looking around for her, he found her by her locker and sighed in relief that she wasn't in trouble. As he got closer he noticed that she wasn't alone. He realized that it was the guy that was talking to his friend a couple days ago about asking Maka to be his partner. He looked to see Maka hold a letter in her hand. Soul tried to get as close as he can to listen.
"...Maka you're amazing meister," the guy said as Maka was reading the paper in her hands. "So I hope… you would like to be my partner?" He then bowed with respect as Maka continued to read the letter.
"That's really sweet of you," Maka said looking up from the letter. The guy stood up smiling. "What you wrote, that's really sweet of you that you think that about me." Soul was nervous. What did this guy even write to her?
"Really?" The guy asked happily. "You really liked it?"
"I did," Maka said smiling but then slowly her smile went away. "But I'm sorry…"
"Why are you sorry?" The guy asked confused.
"I'm gonna have to decline because I already have a partner," She said smiling. Soul's eyes widen and then guy's jaw dropped.
"But why would you stay partners with… with him?!" The guy said nervously. "He's not even nice to you, he treats you poorly and looks down on you, he doesn't appreciate your hard work! He probably doesn't even care about you! Why stay with him!?"
"See," Maka said folding the letter, "that's where you're wrong."
"What?"
"Soul is an amazing partner. He does care about me. He cares so much that he is willing to put his life on the line so I will be safe. He doesn't treat me poorly or even look down on me but treats me as an equal because of how strong we both are. I know he does appreciate what I do because I can just feel it. He doesn't need to say it to me. Soul has done so much for me that I can't ever repay him for." Maka said with confidence in her voice. Soul was taken aback at what she said but also felt relieved and happy. Maka handed him his letter and he took it.
"I'm sorry, but I'm going have to decline. I'm Soul's meister and I'm never going to leave him as my partner." Maka said and walked away leaving the guy shocked and confused. Soul went to go back outside as if to still be waiting for Maka. She saw outside and smiled.
"What took you so long?" Soul asked pretending not to know.
"I was caught up doing something," Maka said catching up to him. "Sorry if it took a long…" Her sentence was cut off when Soul hugged her. "Soul, what's wrong?"
"You're pretty cool you know that," Soul said hugging her. She hugged him back.
"You better not be trying to get out of cooking dinner tonight, it's your turn tonight anyway," Maka said and Soul laughed. He let her go and she looked at him confused.
"Yeah I know, I know, I'll cook dinner." Soul said, "What should we have?"
"I don't know, surprise me," Maka said smiling and Soul nodded as they headed off to go home. Soul wondered if he should bring up that heard the conversation but decided not to in the end.
'You're pretty amazing too Maka… you're really amazing.'
Just something short and sweet for your weekend. Tell me what you think and if I should do more and if you would want to see another paring too.
Have a great day!
