Getting Closer

"Soul, what are you doing?" Maka asked. The moment they entered the door for walking home from Kid's, Soul began examining Maka's body.

"Looking for hickey's." Maka was shocked that Soul would ever say something like that. She hit him hard over the head with the closest book she had; War and Peace.

"Soul! Do you seriously think Kid would do something like that! I can't believe you would think I would do that after 3 months! Lord Death Soul! This also proves you don't trust Kid, let alone me!" Maka's tiny rant ended as she looked at Soul to explain.

"Well, I'm sorry! You know how protective I am of you! Plus you wouldn't tell me what you were doing and you were flushed bright red just like Kid!" He said trying to explain his reasoning. "Can you please tell me what you were doing?" He asked hugging Maka and kissing her on the forehead. Maka inwardly groaned. She had learned that any kisses from Soul would only be on her forehead or cheek.

"He was teaching memumumumum. (*1*)" She said dying out to a mumble towards the end.

"What?" Soul asked raising an eyebrow.

"He was teaching me how to mumumumumum." She said.

"Can you just tell me?" He asked annoyed pulling away from Maka to look her in the eye.

"He was teaching me how to play basketball!" Maka said aggravated, she looked at Soul who began to snicker, then full out laugh his ass off. "What?" Maka asked her hands itching towards the nearest book.

"Well no offense, but you suck at basketball. It would take a miracle- a MIRACLE!- to make you decent at basketball." Soul said wiping away a fake tear.

"Makaaaaaaaa CHOP! Just because I can't play doesn't mean I can't be taught how to!" Maka yelled at the unconscious Soul. "Watch me beat your ass at your own game." She declared, grabbing her newly acquired books she went to her room for the night.


Maka woke up to the sound of Soul snoring. Typical, she thought as she got up and stretched a little before walking into the kitchen. " Good morning Blair." Maka said scratching Blair behind the ears.

"Meeeoooow, good morning Maka." Blair yawned/ meowed in reply to Maka.

"Can I get you anything? I'm making tea for now then breakfast when it gets closer to 9." Maka said nodding to the clock that read 7:15.

"No tea, but can I have some warm milk?" Blair asked jumping on the counter. Maka nodded as she prepared the warm milk for Blair. "So what was with Soul dead on the floor yesterday? I had to carry him to his room and ruined my nails, LOOK!" Blair said turning into her usual human form and showing Maka her chipped nails.

"Sorry about that, Soul was being an idiot." Maka said ignoring Blair's complaints.

"What did he do now?" Blair asked glaring down the hall.

"He was checking me for hickey's after I was with Kid. WITH KID!" Maka said causing Blair to burst out laughing.

"Isn't he -" Maka shook her head no.

"He dated Liz for like 3 weeks but broke up with her because they thought it' would ruin their relationship." Maka said.

"But still! Why would he be looking when you were with Kid! I mean don't get me wrong I beat his symmetry OCD makes him great in bed, but he wouldn't do anything unless you wanted it!(*2*)" She said making provocative hand movements, her voice going slightly lower before laughing at Maka's flushed face.

"I don't ever want to hear you say that in this house ever again! Especially when I'm dating Soul." Maka said getting the warm milk and handing it to Blair.

"It's not like you two are dating! I mean seriously, it's been months and you two haven't even locked lips! I mean it's like your afraid to kiss him!" Blair said taking a sip of her milk.

"I want to kiss him, don't get me wrong it's just... I want him to make the first move, you know?" Maka said taking a sip of her tea.

"Ok, I can understand that, but I understand where Soul's jealousy is coming from, even if he doesn't want to admit that he's jealous." Maka gave Blair a questioning look. "Well Kid is very attractive, he's kind, he's a gentlemen, intelligent, able to hold his own against Blackstar... Minus the OCD I'd date him nyaa~" Blair said making a kitty face.

"I guess your right, but I would never cheat on Soul, I would never be like my papa." Maka said shaking her head.

"But actually maybe I'd keep the OCD, he'd always have to give both sides of my body equal attention." Blair added as an after thought causing Maka to choke on her tea. Soul was awoken by the screaming of Blair and Maka in the kitchen, following his better judgment, Soul went back to sleep, putting in his head phones to play music, ignoring the taunts from Blair and the death threats of Maka.


"Alright you've almost got it." Kid said smiling at Maka. Maka smiled shyly back before taking the basket ball and going for another foul shot, this time is went in.

"I DID IT!" Maka screamed bouncing up and down pumping(*3*) her fists in the air victoriously.

"And you thought you were a lost cause." Kid said sly smirk on his face like the one he wore when he first versed Blackstar and Soul. Maka giggled slightly then covered her mouth. Did I just giggle? She asked herself. Kid laughed slightly causing Maka to laugh as well. "That's amazing, I can't believe I just witnessed The Maka Albarn giggle like a girl." Kid said teasingly.

"Well, you're not going to see it again." She said grabbing the ball than dribbling, yes she learned that new term, over to Kid.

"Come on, let's call it a day and get something to drink." Kid said snatching the ball from Maka.

"Nope, not yet. I want to see what I can do so far one on one." She said grabbing the ball back. Kid raised his eyebrows in disbelief, even maintaining his symmetry in shock.

"Is that a challenge?" He asked. Maka nodded her head, smirk on her face.

"Check." She said passing the ball to Kid. Kid smiled and passed it back, he was not going to play hard on her yet. Dribbling the ball she first went to her right stopped at the wing and shot. It bounced back at her but her shot was not nearly as bad as the one she took their first time playing.

"Not bad." Kid said after catching the ball. He picked it up and shot a 3 pointer to end the game.


"Here you go, Maka." Kid said giving Maka her water with a small smile. Blair's right, he is a gentlemen and is pretty cute, why doesn't he have a girlfriend. Maka blushed slightly as her mind drifted to the conversation she had that morning with Blair. "What is it?" Kid asked sitting down next to Maka.

"Oh, heh. Well you see Soul didn't believe that we weren't doing anything... naught, so I got annoyed at him and told him that you were teaching me basketball, but he thought that was a lie and began to laugh saying I was a 'Lost Cause' and it 'would take a miracle to make me decent at basketball.' Then this morning Blair told me that she thought Soul was jealous that I was spending time with you and that she understood why Soul would be jealous saying that you are a gentlemen, intelligent, and so on. So I was wondering, why you don't have a girlfriend yet? There has to be someone out there for you." Maka said quickly looking at a confused Kid in the corner of her eye. Kid took a moment to let the slight shock from the question leave him before processing and giving Maka an answer.

"Well, you see I'm just waiting for the right girl to come by, I guess. Although, the one girl whom I think I could relate to the most is way out of me league." Kid said shrugging his shoulder as if it were nothing.

"Please, your Lord Death's son! No girl can be out of your league based on that alone, plus seeing as how you were once able to date Liz, I think she has to be a goddess to be out of your league. If anything you are a league of your own because you're so perfect and no one can touch you." Maka said nudging Kid in the shoulder.

"What if she is a goddess?" Kid asked.

"Oh really?" Maka asked, the sass evident through the way her posture changed. Kid laughed slightly at Maka for a second before becoming serious again, looking into his cup of water, slightly alone in his own thoughts.

"Well, I just don't know if I really like her yet. I really like her as a friend and am afraid to ruin our friendship over something so simple as a relationship, but I just feel like I'm always comparing people to her and that just being in the same room as her makes me content." Kid said scratching the back of his neck slightly embarrassed. "She is an extremely beautiful girl even if she doesn't want to admit it, and she can never see the true gem she is because she is always there to make even the darkest of people shine." He said simply.

"Okay Kid, let's face it, you like her, so come on you can tell me! I can help you out, do I know her? I bet she goes to our school! Is it Tsubaki?" Maka asked pacing back and forth. She came to her conclusion and brought her hand to point at Kid's nose as if she had solved the crime of the century. He simply pushed it aside with a sigh.

"Tsubaki is a great girl-"

"HA!" Maka screamed victoriously.

"But she's not the girl I'm talking about. Maka you wouldn't know this girl so don't try looking all of the globe to make me happy. I'm pretty sure she's still dating that jerk she calls her boyfriend anyway. No matter how many fights they get into, no matter how easily he taunts her and doesn't notice how it affects her, she still stays with him." Kid sighed, but stopped the moment he felt something warm around his body.

"Don't worry Kid, I've been in that position a lot too. How many of Soul's fangirls do you think I had to go through to get to him? A lot Kid, you just need to wait it out." Maka said letting go of Kid. "Come on, your a nice guy I'm sure she'll be head over heels in love with you sooner or later." Maka said smiling reassuringly. Kid let a small smile of his own grace his face. He got up afterwards and held his hand out for Maka.

"I hope you're right, come on I'll walk you home." He said nodding towards the door as Maka grabbed her hand to help herself up. They walked side-by-side talking all the way to Maka's apartment.

1) that is a mumbling noise... do not hate on the mumbling noise!

2)... I do believe Blair would say that Kid is good in bed due to his OCD plus I got this idea from my friend when we were talking about anime characters... STAY AWKWARD AND PERVY KATIE!

3) that was the 888 word mark... YUS! SYMMETRY!
