(Maka POV)

I walked up the steps of the DWMA in the blazing heat. I hadn't worn my signature black jacket today or my gloves. Soul hadn't worn his hoodie.

The entire bike ride to the school was torture. The loud engine hurt my ears and the sun was beating down on my back.

We met the rest of the gang at the top of the steps. Everyone else was dressed in his usual clothes. "Kidd, aren't you burning up in that?"

"Yes, but if I took it off it wouldn't be symmetrical."

His obsession must be unhealthy. I thought. But all the same, it makes Kidd Kidd.

"IT'S SO HOT OUT HERE! I'M COMPLAINIG AND I'M A GOD! WHY CANT SUMMER BE HERE SO WE DON'T DIE OF HEAT STROKE?' BlackStar complained.

"Stop!" Soul groaned. "Your rambling is giving me a headache. We only have two weeks."

"The sooner we get out of this death trap the better!" BlackStar went on.

I wasn't focusing on the conversation anymore. I was trying to hard not to puke. My stomach had started to hurt. It's so hot. I thought. I was starting to feel dizzy. My head hurt.

"Soul, lets get inside."

I collapsed before I could hear Soul's answer.

(Soul POV)

"Maka!" I exclaimed as my meister fell. I caught her before she could hit the ground.

"What the hell happened?" I asked.

"It's probably the heat." Tsubaki said. "We should get her inside."

When we were inside I lay Maka against the wall.

"I'll go get her some water." Tsubaki said.

"I'll fetch Nygus." Liz added.

Forty-five seconds later (Kidd was timing) Nygus and Liz appeared, followed by Tsubaki.

"It's awfully hot today. That's probably all that happened." Nygus said after taking a look at Maka. "She'll be okay."

"Thank you, Nygus." I murmured.

"She's awake." Kidd said after Nygus left.

"Here, Maka." Tsubaki said, handing Maka the glass.

I looked worriedly at Maka. She looked back up at me.

"Soul, I'm sorry. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

I easily scooped my meister off the ground and hugged her. "Don't scare me like that."

I felt Maka pull away, and I let her. Is she blushing again?
