So this is my newest idea for a couple of one-shots to mostly test out my writing style that is still developing and this also helps me study some of the words I gotta know for the SAT. I don't have to take the test yet (I am going to Grade 9 this September) but I have to start now to become really smart later on. I hope this helps you guys study too ^_^~!

Chapter One: Catalyst

Catalyst: something that causes activity between two or more persons or forces without itself being affected.

SOUL POV

I wake up to the sound of the door closing. Arghh what time is it? I look over to the clock. 12:30 am. Why the hell is Maka coming home so late? And then I remember. She's got a boyfriend now. But, still it's not a good reason to come home so late. I walk out of my room to see if she needs anything.

"Hey Maka, how was the date? Why'd you come home so late?" I ask still trying to fix my messy hair.

I fell asleep earlier while listening to some Jazz but I guess it wasn't much of a rest considering how tired I felt. But, I don't show it on my face. I just look like how I usually do, half asleep and with a smirk on my face showing off my pointed teeth.

"Hi Soul, sorry to wake you up by coming home so late." She says looking apologetic.

She looks pretty nice. She got her hair down and is wearing a light green blouse and some black skinny jeans that really show off her long legs. But, I can't think like that anymore. She has someone that she likes, that's actually not me. I've always liked her since the day we met a couple of years back, but I guess she never thought of me the same way.

MAKA POV

I got home really late tonight. The date was horrible. That stupid guy had to choose the freaking pony movie for our date. To make it worse, we had to sit in the theater for 2 hours with nothing but ads playing because he told me the wrong time. We ended up finishing the movie at 12 and I said my goodbyes fast and just left. It was another failed date.

I've been trying my best to find someone to fall in love with instead of Soul. Soul is my best friend and I love him, I really do. But he would never think about me as more than a friend. I guess I will just have to try again until I meet somebody who'll steal my heart.

SOUL POV

"You want anything to eat, or did you eat already?" I ask.

"No, it's fine. I've already eaten like 2000 pounds worth of overpriced popcorn anyway." She said looking a little annoyed.

"Why? What happened on your date?" I asked feeling that something was wrong. But, then I felt myself feel a little sad at what I said.

Date. I said it. I had to admit it to myself that Maka was dating someone else. But who was the asshole that made her mad?

"Nothing happened really. But that stupid guy scheduled the wrong time to watch the damned movie. After sitting for 2 hours watching dumb ads, we finally get to see the movie he wanted. A PONY MOVIE." She said with a dumbfounded expression that had both exasperation and anger mixed in.

"Wow, talk about a crappy date." I say with my signature smirk. I know it's wrong to be a little happy about what happened to her, but I can't really help it. By the sound of this, it seems that she is now single. Maybe I have a chance now?

MAKA POV

I finally finish telling Soul about my crappy date and the clock reads 1:15 am. When did it get so late? I guess time flies when you're… having fun? I have fun with Soul all the time, even if we just stay in silence. I guess I really can't replace him in my life. He is my best friend and we share a soul resonance, so we don't have any secrets.

Suddenly, the doorbell interrupts the silence that had filled the room. I got up to open the door and there stood my so-called stupid date.

"Hey…Conner… nice to see you again?" I say having no idea why the hell he was at my front door.

"I just wanted to make sure you got home alright sweetheart. You wanna go out tomorrow too? I got seats to this wrestling match at like 2 in the morning and I would totally dig it if you could go with me."

Why the hell would I go to a wrestling match? Watching overly muscular guys tackle each other and hurt each other without reason seems like the perfect thing to ask another guy.

He walks into the house without permission and sees Soul on the couch.

"Who the hell are you and why are in my girl's house?" he says glaring at Soul. You can't really tell though because he is wearing sunglasses. Yeah, I forgot to mention that my date is a total douchebag. (No offence to people who wear sunglasses indoors) I mean, it's the middle of the freaking winter and the sun sets at like 5 in the afternoon. He still has his sunglasses on at 1 in the morning.

"I'm her roommate and weapon, Soul. You must be Conner. I can tell by the way you're dressed like a total loser. I mean, only losers make such huge mistakes on the first date no?" Soul says back with a smirk and glare.

"What the hell are you talking about? Our date is none of your business. You're just a weapon! You don't have the right to talk to me like that!"

That was it. He just crossed the line.

"What the heck is your freaking problem Conner? Soul is my weapon and my best friend. He doesn't deserve to hear those things from your stupid mouth!" I grab a book a Maka-Chop him.

He screams in pain and starts crying. He runs out the house in tears.

"Well… that was lame." I say starting to laugh.

Soul starts to laugh too and in about 5 seconds we are both on cracking up about the situation.

"Did you see his face? He was CRYING!"

"Even you don't cry when I hit you!"

"The sunglasses were so lame. Who the hell wears sunglasses indoors? In the middle of the freaking winter too!"

"He was wearing the damn thing during the movie too. I spent more time thinking about how the hell he could possibly see then the freaking pony movie!"

We finally stop laughing in about 10 minutes. I wipe some tears from my eyes that formed due to laughing so hard. Now, it's just comfortable silence.

"I guess we should go to sleep soon, shouldn't we?" I hear Soul say in the background. But I was already starting to fall asleep. I try to fight the urge to close my eyes but sleep overwhelms me.

SOUL POV

I look over to Maka and see that she was already asleep.

She looks so cute when she is sleeping…

Wait. Soul Eater Evans. You cannot mess up you're friendship with her. She is your best friend and most important person right?

"Even though I love you… I can't tell you…"

"Why can't you tell me?"

I look over to see Maka awake and her eyes open in shock. My cheeks start to turn red and I manage to blurt out "Because you don't feel the same way."

I close my eyes and wait for the "Yeah, I don't sorry." But instead I feel…lips?

I open my eyes in shock and see that Maka kissed me. Oh my god. What is happening? Why is she kissing me? My mind goes blank and I feel my cheeks turn red as a tomato.

She backs and away and looks straight at me. She looks so cute right now.

"I-I uh-uh guess that means that you do-o li-like me t-then?" I say stuttering a little too much. I am acting so uncool right now. But, coolness doesn't matter right now. I look at her back in the eyes for an answer and she responds by hugging me and giggling. "Yes I do."

And I am done with the first out of many. I might update this like every 2 to 3 days. Depending if I feel like writing and studying too. The catalyst was Maka's stupid douchebag of a boyfriend. You know, because he caused Maka and Soul to like laugh and stuff... TT_TT I hope it made sense.

Please Review and tell me what you think of the idea. If you like it, if you don't. Just so you know, the rating might change at anytime due to you know, lemony tendencies. I always wanted to try writing a lemon. Maybe I'll write one just for this story. Like a continuation of some sort. (Lemon fans out there? Anybody? :D)

So again, tell me in the reviews if you like it or not. And if you have any words you would like me to do, please say so too.

Btw my favorite word of all time: defenestration:the act of throwing a person out of a window.
