DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN SOUL EATER!!!


"Gahhhh!!! He's just so irritating! Why is he acting so weird? Ahhhh..." Maka told Tsubaki with a very annoyed look on her face. "I mean, why is he being so weird today of all days?? On my birthday?!" Tsubaki listened intently to what she was saying and to the rest of her explanation of what had happened.

"Well, maybe Soul's just nervous about something that's gonna happen?" Tsubaki told Maka at the end of her explanation.

"Yeah, but what is he so nervous about? That's what I'm trying to figure out. I don't know... I guess I kinda overreacted...he was being really sweet actually. He's letting me be with my friends on my birthday, but I guess I was just mad he wouldn't tell me what was bugging him. He's not usually like this. He usually tells me what's up. It's not cool to keep secrets and Soul is big on that." Maka was pacing back and forth in Tsubaki's living room. It was strangely quiet since Black Star had gone out to bug Death the Kid. Maka had a pensative look on her face, trying to put the pieces together. "Ahhh!!! I don't know! I can't figure it out!"

"Ummm..." Tsubaki started.

"What?"

"Have you actually confronted him about acting so weird? Like, asked him straight out?"

"Yeah and he told me he'd tell me later..."

"Well then maybe you should go back there. I'm pretty sure he'll tell you since he thinks you're really mad at him..." Tsubaki said quietly. Maka looked up at Tsubaki.

"I guess you're right. If he doesn't tell me, I have ways of getting it out of him..." Maka said grabbing a book, with an evil grin on her face. "Thanks Tsubaki...see you later!"


"SOUL! I'M BACK!!!" Maka said as loud as she could. She heard some noises coming from Soul's room and wasn't sure what to make of them. Was he....struggling? With what? "Soul?" Maka said approaching his room.

"Don't come in! I thought you wouldn't be back until dinner!"

"Uhh..." Maka said slightly opening the door. She peeked inside. It REEKED of cologne. Cologne?? Once she got passed the smell she gasped. There were clothes thrown all over his room. "Um..Soul...are you...looking for something to wear for tonight?..." Soul blushed a little for what seemed to be the billionth time since this morning.

"Yeah..but it's okay I found something. Now can I change in peace?" Maka looked at him with a shocked expression.

"Oh, um, yeah,uh, okay." Maka stuttered walking out of the room. Okay. This is just weird. When does Soul have trouble finding something to wear? Soul then came out of the room wearing...a suit?

"Alright. You ready to go?"

"Uh..umm..I thought we were going to dinner? It's only 3." Maka replied, confused.

"Yeah, I know. I thought maybe we could go see that stupid movie you've been wanting to see."

"Oh, um..okay, but, uh...aren't I a little underdressed?" She looked down at her simple shirt and pants and then back at Soul's suit.

"Nah, you're fine." Soul said, finally sounding more like himself.

"Well, let me change anyways. I can't be seen next to you if I look so...blah."

"Maka, you never look blah. You're beautiful." Soul mumbled slightly turning red and going back to the weird Soul Maka didn't know.

"What?" Maka asked, knowing perfectly well what he said, blushing a little herself.

"Um, nothing, just go change."


When Maka was done changing into her recently bought purple dress and slightly doing her hair, she went back out to meet Soul. "Alright, I'm ready to go." Soul got up from the couch to go and looked at her. He gasped with surprise and didn't know what to say. "What? Do I look bad? What's wrong?" Soul stuttered, trying to get the words out, not knowing how to describe it.

"You, uh, look....unbelievable." He said staring at her. Maka blushed and tried to regain composure.

"Right okay, well umm, we should go if we wanna make it to the 4 o' clock showing." Soul nodded and followed her out the door. Maka felt a little weird and realized that she was still red. What's wrong with me now? She thought. Then it came to her and upon realization, she gasped. Soul didn't pay much attention and didn't realize that she'd managed to turn even brighter red. I can't believe it...I...like...Soul.
