~Author's Note~

Hey Guys! I'm trying a new style for this one. I liked the other style that I did for the last one but with this plot it would be confusing so I'll be changing which character's point of view it's in. Ok, enjoy! Let me know if you like this style better. If not I'll change it. I don't own any of these characters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Maka~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{Beep!} {Beep!} {Beep!} {Beep!} {Beep!} {Beep!} {Beep!} {Beep!}

Whether I woke up to the heart monitor's beeping or from the warm and gentle feeling of my partner's hand in mine. UWA! What are you thinking? Soul is my partner and more importantly my friend. Well, his hand is warm and gentle. That's not my fault. I'm babbling in my head again.

When I open my eyes I'm blinded by the white light of the infirmary. It wasn't this bright last night. I have to blink five times just to be able to see. When my eyes finally adjust I can make out my weapon and best friend Soul. Aw, he's sleeping. He looks so cute when he's sleeping. Ah! You're doing it again! Wait… everyone thinks this, so it's not weird.

I move to wake him but I'm overwhelmed by a massive pain in my side. "Ah!" I gasp. I didn't mean to be so loud. Soul was up in an instant looking alert. I bite my lip to try and take my mind off the pain and look at Soul.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Soul~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My head darts up to see Maka biting her lip with tears in her eyes. She looks so helpless. But at least she's finally awake. She was sleeping for three days.

I move my free hand to tuck the strand of hair that had fallen in front of her green eyes behind her ear. Her eyes widened and she flinched away from me. Both her hands shield her face from me. Her body starts to quiver in fear as the tears that were fading away start to pour down her face. I quickly bring back my hand, chiding myself for scaring her.

I was hurt, but I understood. She's traumatized. Who wouldn't be? Damn that kishin. I raise both of my hands to let her know I won't do anything to her. We sit here like this for a while. I don't move in fear that she'll freak out even more. Slowly she calms down and sets her pale and slender hands back into her lap. The tears, however, are still streaming down her face. I should say something.

I clear my throat and cleverly say, "It wouldn't be cool of me to make a girl cry ya know." What the hell?! Why? Why would you say something like that?! At a time like this too! Oh god, please Maka chop me Maka. I deserve it for getting you into this mess and then for saying something so stupid!

"Heeheehee… BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Maka busted out laughing. Wait… it worked? What the hell is going on in her head?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Maka~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soul is blushing! Blushing! Soul! This is great! I've never seen him blush before! He looks like a little kid who walked in on his parents! It's adorable in a way… I've stopped laughing at this point because I was so deep in thought. "Did you stay here all night with me?" I ask, remembering what he told me last night.

Soul gave me a confused and worried look. "Maka… I've been here for three days with you." THREE DAYS?! I've been asleep for tHREE DAYS?! How much school work did I miss? I must have asked this last question out loud because Soul answered, "Stein gave you a pass on the homework and the test that's coming up. You lost a lot of blood Maka. You need to rest. You also need to eat. You're dad went to get some food for me and him, but you can have mine. I'm not hungry. I ate a big lunch when Black Star came over."

Black Star came over? Tsubaki must have brought him. It wouldn't surprise me. "I'm not hungry either." I reply but sadly, my stomach gave away my starvation. "Uh-huh, you're eating." He cares. I hope he doesn't blame himself for this. "When can I go home?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Soul~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Stein said whenever you want. Since you've been sleeping you've been healing up pretty fast, which is pretty cool. So you give me the word and I'll take you home." I wasn't lying. Stein said whenever she wants to go home she can. But I did kind of stretch the truth about her healing. It's been slow but it should be ok. I'll change her bandages when they need changing and I'll bring her straight back if she looks worse. I won't let anything happen to her. She will not get hurt again. Ever.

"I want to go home after we eat. You're eating some too. I don't want to be wasteful and I can't eat it all right now." I sigh internally with relief. Black Star didn't bring food earlier. I didn't let him in when he stopped by. He's too loud and reckless. He might hurt her. I haven't eaten in the past three days either, no matter how much Death Scythe offered. I was too worried that she wouldn't make it. "Then I'll take you home, my lady." I say. She giggles the cutest giggle I've heard in my life. I did that. I like hearing it. I'm going to make her giggle like that from now on.

I smile as Spirit opens the door and brings in a pork and rice box. I stand to grab it and head over to Maka's bedside with chopsticks. "You don't have to feed me you know." I remember when she had lifted her arms to hide her face, how she still winced in pain from that movement. "Yes, I do. Deal with it book worm." I say with a half smile. I start feeding her small bites at first so she doesn't have to chew as much. Gradually the bites get bigger.

Halfway through the box she shakes her head to let me know that she's finished. "You're sure?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Maka~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yes," I say and mean it. My stomach is too full it hurts. Out of the corner of my eye I see a familiar red head. I turn my head and see Papa. He's being uncharacteristically quiet. "Hi Papa."

His eyes start to water as he opens his mouth. "MA-" and then he closed it. "Hm?" I look at Soul who is glaring Papa down. He doesn't want me to get worked up. Thanks Soul. "I… I have to go to Lord Death. I just wanted to check in on you Maka. I'll stop by your apartment later. I love you." Papa starts to walk out of the door when I say, loud enough for him to hear, "I love you too Papa." He's not going to Lord Death. He's going to Chupa Cabre's. But at least he came here.

"Well I'm stuffed." Soul states as he burps. Ew… "Are you ready to go home?" He asks as he throws the box out in a nearby trash can. I nod and he comes over to my bed and lifts me up bridal style. "UWA!" I exclaim. "I'm sorry! Are you hurt?" he asked fast and goes to set me down. I shake my head vigorously. "No! I was just surprised. Take me home? Please?" I ask quietly.

He nods and we head out of the infirmary. We head home this way and finally we reach the door. He opens it and walks to the couch and sets me on it. "I'll be back. I gotta take a quick shower, then you need your medicine," he says as he shakes a pill bottle. Thank you Soul. I love y- oh no… great… ugh… I feel my face going red as the sudden realization hits me. I love Soul…
