Soul woke to Maka and Wes being in uncomfortable silence. He sat up in a groggy state of mind; both of them now staring at him. All he could think of to say was, "Wes what are you doing here?" Wes practically jumped out of his seat and took Soul into an inescapable hug.
Wes started to cry as Soul stayed silent, "You scared me so bad. You have no idea." He paused waiting for a response when he didn't receive one he continued, "I promise I'm going to protect you from now on. Like I used to, I should have never stayed quite about my feelings of you coming here."
Soul pushed his brother away from him so that he sat on the bed beside him, "You don't need to protect me! I'm not a little kid and I'm a demon scythe!" Soul felt a pain in his chest from his outburst.
He put his hand over his chest as Maka rushed over to him. "Soul, are you okay?"
Her worried face made him hold in the pain trying not to worry her. "Yeah, Maka. Of course I'm fine." He smiled his usual shark teeth smile. She smiled slightly believing him.
Wes gaped at his younger brother, "No you're not 'okay.' You just came out of emergency surgery because you were protecting her." He pointed an accusing finger at Maka. She looked crushed.
Soul was quick to stand up for her, "It's not Maka's fault she was trying to protect me!" he turned his gaze away from the two and his voice to a shallow whisper, "Wes don't do this, please."
Wes stood up, "Don't do what Soul? What I should have done when your first joined this crazy school?"
He paced back and forth while Soul tried to calm him down, "Wes I'm fine. I promise. I'll be up and out of this bed in no time. You don't have to worry so much."
Wes stared at Soul after the last comment, "Soul if I don't who will. Mom and Dad, no they don't care. All they care about is success in music." He saw Soul's face turn to a hurt contort of pain, ashamed and guilt and back pattled, "Which is stupid because you're a genius and they just don't get your style."
Soul looked down at his opened palm hands covering his bold crimson eyes with his messy bangs, "Yeah."
Wes continued with his rant, "Your partner? No because if she really cared about you not you being a death scythe she would tell you this life is too dangerous."
Soul snapped out of his trance of self pity while Maka started to cry. "Maka does care, Wes! She's my best friend and partner!" Maka smiled at him loving the words his mouth made. Soul gently smiled at her back. She still felt guilty for his pain but somehow he made her momentarily forget.
"Best friend?" He sat back on the bed. "Oh yeah that's right you ditched your old best friend, Taylor when you came here because she objected because she cared!"
"It wasn't like that Wes." Soul said with hurt all over his face.
Wes noticed this and felt terrible about what he had just said. He was supposed to protect not break him. "I'm sorry, Soul. I didn't mean to say that. I just . . . You can't stay here. You'll be killed eventually."
Soul and Maka both exchanged glances knowing what he was implying. Soul spoke up looking his concerned brother in the eye, "I'm not leaving Maka."
"Soul, please? We'll find a new life for you. It doesn't have to involve music or being a weapon. Please Soul, you're all I have." He smiled weakly, "And I'm not going to sit back any longer." He now found confidence; knowing that was the only way to convince Soul.
"Wes?" Soul looked heartbroken that he was causing his brother so much pain. "I'm safe here I promise."
Just as the words came out of his mouth Black*Star came bursting though the door. He jumped onto Soul's bed pushing Wes and Maka off onto the floor. He shook Soul up and down shouting. "Soul it's alright I'm here buddy! Look into my eyes and you'll be in great shape!"
In a second Black*Star had been dragged off of Soul by Wes. "What the hell do you think you were just doing?" Wes's tone was scary and the fact that he could over power Black*Star was as well. His eyes burned into a firry crimson that Soul's eyes couldn't even compete with. Black*Star for a milla second looked shaken and in distress.
Black*Star was shocked at the man's actions and appearance, "I'm the Great Black*Star! The one that will surpass God! And that is my super cool friend right there so move aside."
Wes looked shocked. There was silence until Wes started to Laugh and turned to Soul. "Get a replacement for Taylor much?" Maka had now heard the name Taylor twice and was starting to wonder why she hadn't heard of her before.
Soul looked terrified, "No! I didn't! Tay-"
Wes interrupted him, "Soul, this guy is the male version of Taylor. You know that friend you ditched to come and get yourself killed. So you do miss her?"
Black*Star became furious, "There is no one like me! I'm one of a kind! Right Soul?"
Soul looked speechless. Then caught his footing, "Yeah Black*Star there's no other you."
Black*Star pumped his chest out, "Yeah that's right!"
Wes smirked, "I guess I'll just have to call her and we'll compare the two." Wes went to walk out of the room.
Soul went to go get out of bed and stop him. "No! Wes?" his chest felt like it was on fire and he fell to the ground. Seeing only black and fading with the growing pain. Wes quickly rushed with Maka back to him. He lifted him back into bed and realized he was already back to sleep. Soul was gone with no sign of coming back soon.
Wes turned to Maka as soon as he knew Soul couldn't hear him because of his state. "You should start looking for a new partner because my brother will not be here for much longer."
Maka looked shocked while Black*Star got defensive, "Hey buddy! He'll stay here if he wants to tay here so back off!"
Wes turned to the blue haired boy, "Yes he will but what if he doesn't want to stay here?" Wes smiled having a plan form in his head. "I'm going to step out to make a call, if Souil wakes please tell him I'll be back soon with candy corn."
Maka looked dumbfounded, "Candy corn? What?"
Wes looked shock, "It is his favorite candy/ thing in the world." She looked ashamed that she didn't know and Wes picked up on it. "Hmm this might be easier then I first thought." With that he walked out leaving the two speechless.
