Soul–X-Maka Shadows of the Soul

Chapter two: Memories

(Nobody's POV)

Soul sat on his and Maka's couch or more accurately half sat half slumped on the couch slack jawed and staring off into space with a certain meister muddying his thoughts. He let the fight play back in his head, Crona swinging the demon sword Ragnarok, Maka blocking, Soul transforming into his human form and leaping in front of Maka, Ragnarok slashing through his chest. All for his meister…no…it was all for Maka. It felt strange not calling her by her name in his thoughts at the moment, so… Maka the girl who both irked him to no end and made him feel a certain warmth in his chest. The girl he was in love with. 'So…when exactly did I fall in love with her?' Soul thought. Instead of nightmares he dreamed of her smiling face, his Maka teasing was more flirting and he altogether felt different around her since they had met Dr. Stein. So he guessed he had been in love with her since their 'Extra Lessons'.

(MAKA POV)

"Hey Soullllllll dinner's ready! Soul?" I called as I walked into our living room. Soul….was just sitting there. Staring off into space. 'Weird' I thought. I absently touched my lips where the feeling of our little nothing of a kiss still lingered. I bent down until I was directly in his line of vision, there was no response. "Hey, Soul? Y'in there? "Again no response was given. A small sigh escaped my lips. I sat on his lap and tried whispering in his ear, all to no avail. Before I could think about it I pressed my lips to his, and suddenly he was out of his daydream world and kissing me back, in an absolute fury of lipsteethtongue. I felt myself moan into his mouth and he took the opportunity to sneak his tongue into my mouth coaxing mine to come out and play for a while. We broke apart when we needed air and a long thin silvery strand of saliva connected us still. "Heh, you're a pretty good kisser Maka." Soul chuckled.

My cheeks heated "T-thanks I guess. Wait a minute! Maka CHOP!"

He gripped his head in pain "Geez Maka what was that for?"

I got off his lap and started walking towards the kitchen to grab a plate of food. "Dinners ready Soul, if you're interested." He immediately leaped up and ran into the kitchen to load up his plate. I rolled my eyes. The bottomless pit had returned.

When the two of us had finished eating Soul gave me his signature sharp-toothed grin. "That was the best dinner you've ever made. Thanks. "

I wasn't embarrassed to say that this was probably the first time he'd thanked me for cooking dinner. I was pleasantly surprised.

(Soul's POV)

I grinned at Maka and thanked her for dinner. I could tell she was surprised and my smile widened. "Oh and Maka?"

"Hm?" she asked

"Thanks for the kiss."

She choked and turned almost cherry red "Y-"

"-Retty pretty beautiiiiiifulllllll Ladyyyyyyyyyyyy" Blair sung from the bathroom. We both sighed.

"I honestly think she's tone deaf Soul." Maka said with a smile the redness slowly fading from her cheeks. "Hey Soul? Do you remember when we first met? You said 'This is what my music sounds like' and you played for me, you played a song that was admittedly frightening, but was at the same time elegant and beautiful in its simplicity…. And then… "

"Then the best thing to ever happen to me happened and you became my meister." I finished

"I-I'm the best thing to happen to you?"

SHIT SHIT SHIT! I mentally cursed I hadn't meant to tell her that. I'd meant to say 'And you became my meister.' Besides since when was I emotional? Ah well.

"Yes. You are."

"Thank you Soul. Thank you."
