Soul has found himself in really difficult situations. Ones that can even be consider ridiculous as to how dangerous and twisted they are. But never would he have thought that teaching Maka how to play the piano was one.
She had been asking for some lessons for quite some time now. So he agreed that today he would finally teach her. Since Maka had no knowledge whatsoever of the instrument he will just teach her the basics such as the scales and a few songs. 'It would be easy' he had said…
Right now he was teaching her how to play the C scale with both hands. His fingers slided ever so softly over the notes at a very slow pace. Maka , who was sitting right next to him ,watched with uncanny eyes as if to remember his every move. When the piano became mute Maka positioned her fingers to start playing. She took a deep breath as her fingers started moving shyly over the white keys.
The piano faltered but it wasn't until Maka stumbled for the fourth time that it became mute once again. She turned to look at Soul and when her green depths found his crimson ones she searched for some sort of reaction, any. Her attempt was fruitless as she realized that all she was doing was staring into intense scarlet orbs. Embarrassed by this she looked away and after sometime she mustered up a little bit of courage to asked the question that had been bothering her for awhile
"Am I that horrible?"
That was the only reason she could come up with to explain the utter silence he produced. And coming from Soul it was either too good or too bad but with her earlier display of skill she settled herself with the second option. And she wasn't expecting him to make a sudden change either, such as when his solemn face broke into one of his lopsided grins or when he took her hands into his nor when once again both of them were locking gazes.
He placed her hands over the keys with his lightly over them. Their eye contact never breaking.
"Oh yes you are…--- his taunty grin soften into a simple smile--- but I believe I can change that"
And so he guided her through the whole melody. And right there and then he decided that maybe just maybe he believed he could complete this so difficult task.
