Chapter 2: Just a Normal Day?
Disclaimer; I don't own anything!
Summary: Soul suggests they go to California to get away from the city. She agrees. Will there be a spark between the two? Or will some other guy sweep Maka right off her feet?
Paring: Soul & Maka (SoMa for short)
Rating: T, for some body language and colorful language :3 ( nothing major!)
Maka woke up feeling refreshed. She noticed Tsubaki was still asleep, so she quietly stood up and went into the bathroom. She turned on the shower adjusting the temperature before stripping and hopping in.
She kept thinking back to last night. Maka touched the spot he licked and bit ever so gently. Happiness overjoyed her as she remembered that Soul had confessed to her; and her back.
She quickly washed herself up, dried, and got dressed for the day leaving her hair up in a towel. When she stepped out of the steamy bathroom; a delicious smell filled her senses with joy. Maka smiled. She walked into the kitchen to find Tsubaki cooking.
"Mmm it smells really good what are you cooking?" Maka hopped into the kitchen.
"Just some pancakes is all. Want to help me cut up the fruit?" Maka nodded as she grabbed a knife and started to chop fruits that were on the cutting board.
"Good morning girls." A sluggish deep voice came from the 'boys' dorm' (the boys' room). Tsubaki and Maka turned around to meet a sleepy Soul, whose hair was everywhere. The girls bowed and greeted.
"Is Black Star awake yet?" Tsubaki asked kindly.
"I tried to wake him up but I kind of thought he was dead because he wasn't moving when I shouted his name. Oh and sorry if I woke you by the shout…" He scratched the back of his neck.
"We didn't hear any thing. Maybe the rooms are sound proof?" Maka suggested while Tsubaki and Soul shrugged.
After breakfast; Black Star joined later on; everyone gathered in the living room. "So, what are the plans for today?" Tsubaki asked looking at Maka and Soul
"We can go have a walk on the strip and go shopping?" Soul said as Black Star, Tsubaki, and Maka nodded their heads. "Alright the board walk it is. Let's get going then I'm sure the stores have opened up already." Everyone got up, dressed, and met by the door. Black Star wearing white shorts with a dark blue t-shirt, Soul wearing black tripps*/shorts (Gothic/punk shorts with chains) with a white t-shirt, Tsubaki wearing light blue 'booty-shorts' with a purple loose shirt and her hair was down, and Maka wearing blue shorts with a loose green shirt and her hair down.
They all walked down to the lobby together. Wes was there eyeing Maka. He motioned her to come over to him, she did. "Hey Maka, where are you guys headed today?" He said in a peppy tone.
"Just the board walk is all. Do you want to join us?" Maka said completely forgetting about what happened yesterday.
"I would love to! But…I don't think your boyfriend will like that too much." Wes pointed at the boiling Soul; he looked like he could catch on fire at any moment.
"Of course you can come; and how many times do I have to say this! He's not my boyfriend Wes!"
The name caught Soul, 'Wes? My brothers' name was Wes…but he can't be it, he doesn't even look like him and he died in the fire…' Soul thought looking as white as a ghost.
"Whoa…Soul, are you ok? I think you need some sunlight! Ol' Black Star can fix you up! AHAHAHA!" Black Star pushed Soul outside. A few minutes later, Maka and Wes came out laughing; Soul grumbled.
Maka walked over to Soul, "Are you ok?" He nodded looking elsewhere, "You sure? You seem kind of mad… is it because I invited Wes?" He didn't say anything. "Hello? Earth to Soul; come in Soul!" She waved her hands in front of his face.
He grabbed her wrist and looked into her now terrified green eyes. "Look, Maka…" He looked around seeing if the others were looking; "We'll be right back guys!" Wes, Tsubaki, and Black Star nodded. Soul brought Maka around the corner and pinned her against the wall.
"Ow Soul that hur-!" Soul pressed his lips up against hers. She broke this kiss, confused "S-Sou-"
"Maka, I like you very much and I thought you liked me too…but seeing you flirt with that guy, Wes, really pissed me off-"
"We're not even together Soul! You don't own me or anything, as far as I know we aren't meant for each other! If I'm with you…my own scythe, I'll just end up following my mothers' path, alone with a child!"
"So your saying I'm a fricken player like your nasty father? Look I know you're family is split up but…AT LEAST YOU HAVE A FAMILY! I LOST MINE AND IT'S MY ENTIRE FAULT!" Soul's voice cracked; he was holding back tears.
Maka touched his quivering cheek. "Look I'm sorry…just please, don't hold back…I'm here for you and always will be Soul." Maka laid his head on her shoulder; Soul wrapped his arms around her sniffing a little.
"I can't cry in front of you…it's not cool." Maka laughed a little. She planted a small kiss on the top of his head hugging his torso.
Seagulls flew by chirping, waves crashed down, people were heard talking. Soul lifted his head and bent down a little to be brought back to Maka's sweet lips. "There they are! The one and ONLY Black Star, have found the lovely couple making out!"
"B-Black Star!" Tsubaki pulled on the boys' shirt. Maka and Soul quickly pulled apart looking at the two, "Sorry you guys…eh we'll meet up with you later." Tsubaki had her hand over Black Star's mouth trying to keep him quiet.
Maka and Soul blushed still clinging to each other. They let go; Soul rubbed the back of his head. "Um- we should get going with the group," Maka nodded as she walked quickly away with her head down. Soul smiled "And I thought she wasn't shy."
The group walked on the board walk, Soul grumbled seeing Wes and Maka talk about their favorite books and what-not while Tsubaki and Black Star were taking in their surroundings
Soon lunch time had come around; everybody stopped by a restaurant to eat. Wes sat by Tsubaki and Maka while Black Star and Soul enclosed the girls in the small booth.
Everyone gave their orders and was waiting for their food to come out. Soul kept staring at Maka's hand. This hand, which was so delicate, it looked like it would break in his grasp. He began to reach for it; the pads of his fingers brushed against the top of her hand making her jump a little.
"S-sorry…" He pulled back. Maka broke her conversation with Wes and grabbed his hand smiling. He smiled back intertwining their fingers together.
After lunch Maka, Wes, and Tsubaki went into a store while Soul and Black Star waited outside. They spent awhile in the store looking through clothes. "Hey Maka…come here for a second please?" Wes said smiling politely as she nodded and walked away from Tsubaki saying she'll be back soon.
When nobody was looking; Wes pulled Maka into an open changing room. He pressed her up against the wall, while Maka struggled to get out of his grasp. He held her hands up with one hand and the other hand to her mouth.
Soon enough they heard Soul burst through the doors, sensing that she was in danger. "Maka! Where did you go?" Soul said looking frantically around.
Maka bit Wes's hand, which covered her mouth, making him slap her across the face. Her body went limp. "What a weakling." Wes picked her up, holding her bridal style, and brought her outside of the changing room. "I found her!"
Soul came rushing over, "What happened?"
"I don't know she went into the dressing room and then I heard a loud thud like she dropped to the ground!" Wes acted.
"Well...um thank you for being there for her…" Wes nodded.
"I can carry her back to the hotel if you want…"
"Ok, I think we should call it a day and finish the walk tomorrow." Soul walked away.
'I am such a genius! First gain his trust then squish him like a bug!' Wes thought smiling.
