I'm back! This is the sequel to Sticks and Stones May break My Bones, but it's the Words that Hurt Me.

Disclaimer: I don't own Soul Eater.

Almost three months had passed by since Maka moved in with Patty, Liz and Kid and it was well into December. "Okay, they are supposed to have really good Christmas trees here," Kid muttered as he got out of the car. Maka followed him into the maze of evergreens.

Since they lived in Nevada, there was no snow and that meant that they were in the hot sun looking for the right Christmas tree. Maka didn't really mind though. She was excited she got to help pick out the Christmas tree.

"Ah, this one looks good, don't you think Maka?" Kid stopped at the tallest tree. It was a beautiful tree, so rich in color, but the problem would be how to get it home.

"It is beautiful, but how are we going to get it back?" Maka said, looking up at Kid. Kid crossed his arms and closed his eyes to think. A moment later he looked up, and said. "We can get Nathan to help. His mom has a minivan right?" Maka hesitantly nodded.

"Great, I'll just call him, and we're ready to go."

It took almost an hour to get the tree, and set it up, but afterwards, the teens got to work to make the tree look its best. "No, put the ordainment a little to the right." Kid said to Maka. She Liz and Patty were being directed to put the ordainments on the tree in a symmetrical display. "Okay that should be the last one." Liz said.

"Patty, get the latter," Patty saluted and ran off to follow her sister's order. Everyone agreed to Liz putting the star on the tree. Patty soon came back with the latter and passed it to her sister. Nathan held the latter still as Liz climbed up and placed the star on top, making it as straight as possible. After she was sure it looked fine, she climbed back down half-way in case it wasn't symmetrical.

"Does it look good?" Liz asked.

"Yeah," Nathan said staring directly to Liz's butt. Liz turned around, and hit Nathan on the head.

"Just because you're my boyfriend doesn't mean that you can be a perv," She said with a smile. Nathan chuckled and smiled as Liz planted a kiss on his cheek. Maka rolled her eyes at the two. They had been like this for the past week they've been dating.

"It looks good," Kid said. He was so concentrated on the star and tree's symmetry, that he hadn't noticed Liz and Nathan.

"Eww, Nathan, sis, get a room," Patty said, covering her eyes as her older sister got hugged and kissed by Nathan. Maka looked away from her friend, feeling uncomfortable near the displays of affection. In a way she was a bit jealous that Soul never really treated her like that for the majority of their relationship.

Liz giggled and looked to the side to see Maka looking away. She could tell that she was uncomfortable. "Sorry Maka," She said causing the girl to look up at her.

"No, no it's fine," Maka said crossing her hands in front of her repeatedly. Liz walked away from Nathan and to her friend.

"It's not fine," She started, "I'm sorry I reminded you of bad times." Liz smiled warmly at her friend. Kid looked at Maka as she smiled slightly back.

"No, it's really fine. I just want the past to be forgotten. I don't want to think of it, and I don't want you guys worrying about it hurting me." Maka said. Kid could tell she was trying to be strong. He had grown to like her, as more than just a friend, but he would never admit that.

"Okay," Kid said. Maka looked at him. "It's time for dinner," Kid smiled at her, and hoped that she understood that it meant, 'We will try our best not to bring it up,'

"Good bye honey," Liz said to Nathan as he drove away. She smiled and walked to the mail box to get the mail. As she entered the house, she heard screaming and laughter coming from the kitchen. She placed the mail on the table, and slowly walked towards the kitchen, getting her phone out, and turning on its camera.

She peered around the corner, and smiled at the sight in front of her. Kid and Maka were covered in flour, and Kid had what looked like egg yolk and white on his head. Maka was laughing as Kid held her back to his chest with one arm, and sprinkled flour on her head with another. Liz was already recording and had already taken all of the pictures she wanted.

They had been having these fights for a while. So far Liz had four videos, and over fifty pictures. She and Patty enjoyed these fights because they were the two having fun, and not fighting out of hate. Maka pulled another egg out of the carton, and smashed it on Kid's shoulder behind her as he started to pour salt on her. Kid spun her around, grabbed her wait and tossed her on the shoulder she had just smashed an egg on fire-fighter style, as she laughed, and pounded on his back telling him to put her down.

Kid walked over to the kitchen counter, and paced her down, so that she could sit on it. She giggled, and glance at the door way to the kitchen, to see Liz with her phone. She rolled her eyes, though her face started to heat up. Kid looked over at the door way, and chuckled at Liz.

Liz stopped recording, and walked over to the two. "This is the fifth time I've caught you two." She said in an accusing tone, with her hands on her hips. "But this was the funniest fight, so I'm not giving in this time this one's pictures are going on instagram."

The past three fights she had mockingly said she would put the pictures on instagram, but didn't because of the two teens' begging. "We're ordering pizza aren't we?" Liz asked. Kid sighed, and nodded. Maka pushed off of the counter, and on to Kid's back, causing him to utter an, "Oof," of surprise.

Liz smiled, and snapped one more picture of Maka smiling at the camera, and holding up two fingers in a peace sign. Kid adjusted Maka on his back and started up stairs. This was how they got out last time, but Liz had suggested it, because she thought it would be cute.

"That's the last time you two make dinner or wash the dishes, or go to make snack together." Liz yelled after them. Maka only looked back and smiled. Liz started to edit the pictures, and after she was done, posted it. After that, she went off to order pizza.

A while later, Soul was staring at the pictures Liz had posted with melancholy, jealousy, and disgust. He and Maka never had cute fights like that. They only had violent and hurtful fights, and she wouldn't even fight back. Soul threw his phone down on the couch and yelled at himself.

"You need to get over her, and find a new girlfriend, or love interest," He said to himself. He was tired of feeling those emotions whenever he saw Kid and Maka together. He needed to get over her.

I really hope you enjoyed that fluff. In this story I'm planning on introducing more of the show's characters, so don't worry if your favorite character wasn't in the last story. Thanks for reading and sorry if there are any errors in the story.
