Realizing True Love

Chapter 2

When they got to Soul and Maka's apartment, Blair was nowhere to be seen.

"It looks like she went out. No matter, you'll have to wear Maka's stuff."

"Ugh! Why do you have to wear that bitch's stuff! You might catch something Tsubaki!"

"Put a lid on it will you? I'm trying to listen here!"

She shrugged. "I Don't really mind." "That must be one of the biggest lies you've ever told Tsubaki." "Shut it twerp!"

Tsubaki and Soul peered into Maka's wardrobe and threw all of her clothes onto her bed. As Maka was still shorter than Tsubaki, most of the clothes were going to be a bit small.

"They're too small!" Tsubaki had a tinge of desperation on her voice. She was freezing now.

"Shut up girl! Why the hell are you whining for?" Tsubaki's conscience was getting really annoyed with her.

"I guess you're right. What are you gonna do?" Soul looked like he really couldn't care less about her clothes problem.

"Hey, that's mean! If you didn't splash her, we wouldn't be here!"

"Well when you get out, I can figure it out." She started to push Soul out of the room

"Hey, hey! That's not a cool way to get out of the room, now is it?" Tsubaki started to laugh.

"You care that much about being cool? Even when I'm the only one here?"

"Force of habit. I'll go and make us some dinner, how about that?"

"Sounds good." Soul gave her his sharky grin and shut the door on his way out.

Tsubaki sighed as she leaned against the door. "I'm grateful I have a friend like you Soul." She didn't know that Soul was still on the other side of the door. "Likewise Tsubaki."

He went off to go and make dinner.

~x~

Just as Soul finished, Tsubaki walked into the kitchen. She sniffed the air.

"Smells good. I didn't know that you cook too." She have Soul a warm smile.

"How does she do that? She's making me melt with smile of hers!"

"That's because you LOVE her! Good thing too, I never really liked Maka."

Soul then looked at what she was wearing. She was wearing a red and black skirt that swished around her knees. Normally the skirt would be around Maka's ankles.

She was wearing a black top with a black jacket. The top was straining around her 34 DD chest. Soul had to try and keep the blood in his nose. He quickly grabbed a tissue so that Tsubaki couldn't see what he was doing.

He then looked at her again and smiled back. "You look good. The clothes suit you better than Maka."

Tsubaki blushed. She was shocked with herself. She was used to a crazy Black Star, that she wondered why she blushed.

"How am I blushing? Conscience, can you tell me?"

"You're smart. Figure it out yourself."

"Thanks a lot." They both sat down and started eating like there was no tomorrow.

~x~

After dinner, Soul and Tsubaki flopped onto the sofa. "That was a nice meal."

"Don't act so surprised. Me and Maka take it turns to cook around here." Tsubaki smirked at him. "So cool boys cook now?"

"Okay, I admit, that's not really cool." They both started to laugh.

They both fell silent as they started to watch TV. Tsubaki then decided to break the silence.

"Hey soul…"

"Mmm?"

"How did you fall in love with Maka?" Soul was silent for what seemed like a decade.

"She was the first to ever show interest in me. The first to accept my talent. She always cared for, even if she was doing it in a near death scenario. What about you and Black Star?"

"I can be my true self when I'm around him. Although he's always a loud and had such a huge ego, he always cared for the right things."

There was an awkward silence between them. "Can we change the subject now? This one isn't cool."

"Yeah, sure." Tsubaki smiled.

"So how does it feel to be a death scythe?"

The two of them started to bicker away until sleep got the best of them.

~x~

When she woke up, she saw that it was still dark. Then she looked around the room and forgot where she was.

"Where the fuck am I?"

"Soul's house idiot! I sometimes wonder what you'll do without me." Tsubaki could hear her conscience tutting at her.

She then stopped feeling tense. She saw that she had put her arms around Soul's waist while her head was on his chest. He had apparently taken off his shirt.

"Wow, I never knew Soul was this ripped." She rubbed her head against his chest trying to get back to sleep. She earned a low grumble from Soul.

"Mmm, Tsubaki…" She looked up into his face and saw that he was still asleep. She then smiled.

"So he's having a dream about me huh?" She started to make circles with her finger on his chest. She continued this until she fell asleep again.

~x~

Soul woke up 5 minutes after Tsubaki fell asleep. He had this amazing dream about some girl, but then forgot who it was.

"And it was a cool dream too! How did I forget it?" He then looked down and saw a sleeping figure.

"She looks familiar. I wonder why."

"Not only is it Tsubaki, but also the girl from your dream dimwit!"

Soul saw that his conscience was right. He saw that Tsubaki had let her loose. He then started to run his fingers right through it.

"She's beautiful, better than a flat-chested Maka."

He started to trace his fingers on the outline of her figure. He earned a tight squeeze from her as she rubbed her head into his chest.

"Oh, Soul…"

Soul's blood red eyes stared down to Tsubaki as he broke into a grin. "So the hot scythe is having a dream about me?"

He continued to stroke her hair as the sleep came back to his eyes.
