It was about eight a.m when Maka's allarm clock went off. "Time for school" she thought. As per usal Soul was still asleep so Maka went to wake him up. "Soul get up or we'll be late again!" she shouted.

" I dooooonnnnn'tttt cccccccccccaaaarrrrreeeeee. I'm tired can't we just skip or something?"Soul complained.

"You know why we can't do that Soul. We have a test today." Soul looked worried all of a sudden. "You forgot and didn't study again didn't you?" her answer was a defeated look from Soul that said everything she feared "You know how important this test is! it decides it we graduate Soul! And both Mister and Weapon must pass or we'll have to spend another year training with Dr. Stine ."

"Maka I know. Somehow I'll pass just have faith." she gave a trusting smile witch he returned.

"I'll always believe in you "she said. And with that they were off to school.

" For this test you will be separated from your partners. Weapons stay here Miesters go next door to Sid he'll proctor your test I'll do so for the Weapons." Dr. Stine explained and with that Maka left Soul's side and went to the other room.(a/n when theres no " its the charas thinking)

Soul's pov

When Maka got up to leave i had the strangest sensation in my chest, like a longing for her nearness all of a sudden. It was strange I had never felt like that around her before. Mabye you like her Soul . That danmed deamon was invaiding his personal thoughts! Then he concitered what it said and told it , No! I don't think of Maka like that! I think if you looked closer at your feelings you wold see that deep down you want her to be yours, and only yours .Its rather pathetic that you cant see that on your own and need someone to gide you, its not cool at all. He knew exactly how to hit Soul where it hurt, so instead of obssessing over what was said he focused on the test.

Maka's pov

It was weird right before she left she could have sworn Soul was about to say something but he looked confused and stayed quiet so she left. The test was over now and she wanted desprately to see him and ask how he did, but then she remembered every time they were given overflow time, he took it and rite now she was very thankful for that fact. So in her fashion she took out a book, it was a new one she had just started so she eagerly began to read. Not too long after she had read about 100 pages Soul walked out of the room and snapped her out of her book world. " Soul! How did it go? Do you think you did well?"

" Yeah I did fine. I know I at least passed."

" Thats great! Cummon lets go home I'll make somethin' special for dinner to celebrate." she shot him one of her rare secrative smiles letting him know she was up to something. His reaction to her smile caught her off gaurd thou. He blushed, lightly but she saw his cheeks go from their usual pale to a barely noticeable pink color."Whats wrong Soul?"

"Huh? Nothings wrong" and suddenly she started to cough uncontrollably."Maka! Are you alright?"

"Yeah im fine, but im deathly allergic to bullshit, now tell me the truth Soul, wats really the matter?"

"I'll tell you when were alone, there are too many people around right now."

"Ok, we'll talk later."

That little bastard deamon was right he did have feelings for Maka, he had just ignored them 'till then. This was bad and she was noticing something was off . He would have to do the unthinkable- tell her he was in love with her, and maybe before she ran off screaming he would kiss her to show her he wasn't shitting her. Now looking back I've always thought she was cute, and even sexy at times. Even way back when she was flat as a bord. He remembered the first time they met, it was his first day at the DWMA and her's too, he had found her on the steps to the school reading and said " Reading before school thats so uncool." she just stared at him and said this, "And who are you to decide whats cool and uncool?" that had caught him off guard enugh to say this "You know your the first person to ever question me on that and I'm Soul by the way." he showed her his pin and said " I'm a Weapon" she responded with a simple "I'm Maka a Sythe Miester." He was facinated by her so he sat down next to her on the steps and said " Well its your lucky day I'm a Sythe and your gunna be my partner. Maka? Wasn't it?"she looked at me like I was insane then said, "Well I dont have much of a choice do I?" he shook his head "No not really ." she sighed "Alright, but if you get into a fight dont expect me to help you." she said "Deal."he agreed. Thats when we really became was when they were eight, now they were sixteen and living togather as partners and friends. As he finished thinking they arrived home and went inside Maka pulled him over to the couch and started to ask him what was wrong again when he interuppted her and asked her "What would you do if i told you that i liked someone?"

" I would ask who the lucky lady was."

"And what would you do if i told you that the lucky lady was you?"

"I would tell you to close your eyes." so he did, and much to his supprise a pair of soft, lush, lips met his own and then Soul decided to open his eyes and found Maka with her eyes closed leaning into him to kiss him more deeply. Then, breaking the kiss suddenly, she pulled back and told Soul the one thing he wanted too hear most, she had said the words "I love you" to him. This had made him pull her back to him and kiss her hard and deep holding the back of her neck with his hand so she couldn't escape, but instead of struggling like he thought she would, she wrapped her arms around his neck and they slid into a lying position on the couch, just holding eachother and kissing for what seemed like hours, when Maka's dad walked in and saw us. It all went to hell from there. Maka saw him first and reluctantly broke free from Soul's grasp to calm her father who practicly had smoke coming out of his ears. Soon it was Soul's turn to explain he had told him about confessing to his daughter, and along with a few snide comments on the side said that he'd like her father's permission to date was when Maka interveaned and said that although he was her father she had seen him cheet on her mother so many times that he couldn't have a say in who she dated or what she did, and asked her father to please leave and not come back uninvited again. after a long scilence he did as she requested and left them alone. Soul decided to give Maka a surprise and piked her up by scooping up her knees and back and carrying her to her bed and laying her down "Soul what are you doing ?"

"I'm putting you to bed. Don't worry i won't do anything."he turned to leave when she grabbed the back of his shirt and said,

"Don't go."

"Want me to stay in here tonight?" he asked. She nodded yes.

Thats it! sorry its a cliff-hanger but it was a natural stopping point to make you wanna read the next chapter. I don't own Sole Eater or its charicters (but i really love Soul) c ya next time! sorry for any grammer mistakes you find i did proof read this many times.
