Liz and black*star dragged patty, Maka, and a love-struck Tsubaki into the mall and straight to hot topic (don't own) for "cool" clothes for Maka. Black*star and Liz went off to find clothes that they deemed "cool & sexy." Maka searched around the store, but she couldn't really find much she liked, she was not gothic in the least (not trashing hot topic, I love that store.) Maka looked up at the dresses; one in particular caught her eye. "BLACK*STAR! LIZ!" Maka called to her friends, as she stared in awe at the cute gothic Lolita dress.
"what is it Maka?" Liz said, walking over to her friend who was gawking at a- "oh. My. God." Liz joined her friend in gawking.
"your god and goddess are now here. What is it?" Tsubaki giggled at being called his goddess. Maka pointed at the dress. "OH MY GOD! THAT WILL LOOK SOOOO CUTE ON YOU! GO TRY IT ON!" black*star screeched like a little fan girl. Maka grabbed it off the rack and looked at the price before running to the dressing room.
"Maka! Hurry up you have been in there forever!" Liz screamed, banging on the door.
"back up Liz, I don't want to hit you with the door, but I will if I have to." Maka said. She timidly stepped out of the dressing room and did a quick twirl for her friends. Black*star gave her a thumbs up
"you look hot, Maka. There is no way soul will be able to resist you, I guess we can't call you tiny-tits anymore." Black*star said.
"Liz, what say you?" Maka asked.
"I say get it off and get it to the checkout. We can waste no time in this, we still have to shop for patty." Liz said as Maka went back in to the dressing room to change.
"ok, I'll go pay for this, wait for me outside." Maka said walking out of the room.
Liz, patty, and the self proclaimed gods walked out of the store and to one of the booths in the food court. Tsubaki caught a glimpse of white as she passed the Chinese food stand.
"SOUL? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Tsubaki said just loud enough for her friends to hear.
"Kidd and I came to get something to eat. Why are you here, and is that black*star?"
"we just came to shop, Maka is buying something. Black*star is helping us, giving us a guys opinion." Liz answered walking over.
"hey Tsubaki, do you really think he-" Maka walked over and noticed the boy standing there "SOUL EEEEEEP!" Maka yelled, hiding her bag behind her.
"hot topic?" soul asked giving her a questioning gaze.
"i-I just bought you a present… kinda." Maka said not meeting his gaze.
"kinda?" soul said reaching for the bag.
"no touching! You get to see it later tonight." Maka said.
"come on! We still gotta go shopping for me!" patty said pulling everyone away. They walked into kohl's and headed for the junior section.
"ok, based on what I've heard Kidd saying about patty's clothes, he likes skin-tight shirts with low necks, and short shorts. Oh, and he also likes boots. Don't forget to make it symmetrical." Black*star said.
"ok, patty, go find clothes that match that description. You should get black shorts, and a black and white shirt." Liz said, grabbing plain black shorts in her sisters' size. Patty came back a moment later holding a black tank top with white stripes on the shoulders and going down the front, that looked almost exactly like Kidd's blazer.
"perfect." Tsubaki said. Patty paid for her clothes and walked out of the store. They all walked back to the mansion and Maka and patty got dressed in their new outfits.
"Make-up time!" Liz said with a sadistic grin as Maka fixed her hair.
"no." the girl responded
"yes." Liz pouted.
"I said, no." Maka turned her pigtails into blades and stared daggers at Liz. All of the sudden, she was gagged and blinded. She felt something hard wrap around her body, recognizing it as Tsubakis chain. Her gag and blindfold were taken off, but only so the other girls had access to her face. Maka tried to writhe out of the chain, but Tsubaki just tightened it.
"that's my girl." Black*star said.
"if you don't shut up and let me concentrate, you will be next." Liz said putting mascara on the chained up girl. They put red eye shadow and a rich red lipstick on her. After an hour long struggle to put make-up on Maka, she was done. Tsubaki released her and patty walked in from her room where she had been doing her own cosmetics.
At 8 o'clock, black*star went downstairs to find Kidd and soul already waiting for him.
"hey man, what were you doing upstairs?" soul asked
"I just watched Maka go through an hour of torture, chained to a chair by her best friends." Black*star said.
"what? What are they doing to my Maka? I have to go help her!" soul said worriedly.
"relax, they are just doing her make-up. And did you just say YOUR Maka? You are starting to sound like her father." Black*star said. He looked at Kidd, who seemed to be off in lala land, staring at a picture of patty. "earth to the teenage shinigami! Are you there? Come in death the Kidd! I repeat come in death the Kidd!"
"huh?"
"Tsubaki-koi! Send them in!" black*star yelled.
"koi? Since when are you two going out?" soul asked
"a few hours." Tsubaki answered walking in dragging a very embarrassed Maka with her. Maka was wearing the short gothic Lolita dress she got at hot topic. It was black with red lace and triangles on the bottom like he had in his scythe form. It went to half way down her thighs, showing off her long, toned legs. In her hair she had devil wing clips holding her pigtails up, the same red as in the dress. She had a red sash just under her small bust to emphasize it a bit more. The sash was tied in a big bow to the left side. Her make-up was subtle, yet noticeable, matching the dress perfectly. Soul started to get a funny feeling in his stomach, like a hundred butterflies had just been let loose. 'Maka looks so hot. I think I may just tell her tonight, I'm tired of carrying the damn box around waiting for the right moment.' Soul thought.
Patty strolled in and sat next to Kidd, slowly inching closer to him. He didn't notice she was getting closer, as he was staring at her clothes the whole time. her shirt was low enough to show just enough cleavage to tease him, and her shorts barely covered her underwear, teasing him even more. To top it all off, it was perfectly symmetrical. "kiddo? Why are you staring at me like that?" patty said in her childish voice. "do you not like the outfit?" she asked, tearing up.
"patty, you look… beautiful." Kidd whispered, just loud enough for her to hear. She threw her arms around him and hugged him close, muttering her thanks in his ear. Slowly, he started to draw little circle on her back using his fingertips. She shivered and leaned into his hand. She loosened her grip on him so she could look him in the eye.
"Kidd, I think I've fallen in love with you." Patty said, leaning in slowly. He closed the distance and captured her lips with his own. The kiss only lasted a few seconds, yet it somehow left them both breathless. By this time the room was dead silent as everyone watched the two, wondering what would happen next.
"I love you too, patty." Kid whispered, nipping at her earlobe. He licked the shell of her ear causing her to shiver again. "Let's continue this when everyone's gone." Kidd suggested. Patty nodded in agreement, hoping everyone would soon leave.
"soul, how do I look? Do you like it?" Maka asked hopefully.
"you look… cool." Soul answered, still staring at the dress, trying not to get a nosebleed.
"oh, thanks." Maka was disappointed, she went through all of that torture, just to impress him and all he said was she looked cool.
"are you alright Maka? You look down. Are you sick?" soul asked.
"yea, I'm fine. Just… tired." Maka pulled out her mp3 player and turned the volume up all the way, so she couldn't hear anything. Everyone but Kidd and Maka glared at him.
"what did I do?" soul asked. Everyone looked away and ignored him. He tapped Maka on the shoulder. She took out an ear bud. "mind telling me what I did?" she just put the bud back in.
"she is simply mad at you. She worked hard on her appearance today, just for you and you trashed her." Liz said, anger filling her eyes and voice.
"I complimented her. She took it the wrong way. Does she expect me to tell her she looks sexy? No. I refuse to act like a fool in front of all of you. Maka is the only one who gets to see me lose my cool." Soul said to the older Thompson sister.
*plop*
Maka fell asleep, head landing face down in soul's lap. "shit!" soul whispered. He could feel Maka's breath on him. He fought back against his hormones as the others laughed at his predicament.
"just wake her up and tell her to move."Liz said, not worried about her voice level, because Maka still had the headphones in her ears.
"mmm, soul." Maka said in her sleep with a smile, unconsciously cuddling closer to souls body. She shot awake, blushing "soul! Control yourself perv!" Maka got off soul and he ran to the bathroom.
"you talk in your sleep?" black*star asked.
"all of us knew that." Patty answered. "last time we had a sleepover, she kept yelling about panda bears. I personally prefer giraffes, but pandas are ok."
"what did I say this time?" Maka asked.
" you moaned 'mmm, soul.'" Liz answered as Maka blushed. "do we want to know what you were dreaming about?"
"not what you think, he was giving me a back massage. He is great at those."
"want one?" Soul asked walking up behind her, and rubbing her shoulders. She tilted her head up and gave him an appreciative smile. "I'll take that as a yes." Soul chuckled.
"you have magical piano-playing fingers." Maka commented, leaning into his touch.
"I want one after her." Liz demanded
"no, s'mine. You don't get one." Maka said, closing her eyes.
"just wait, she'll fall asleep after 5 minutes." Soul said.
"soul, I think we should go, I think those two-" she pointed to Kidd and patty "would like some privacy." Patty was on Kidd's lap with her legs wrapped around his waist. Their foreheads were touching, as they stared longingly into each other's eyes. Patty was playing with Kidd's hair, and Kidd was running his hands up and down her sides sensually.
"yea, I don't feel like watching my best friend get laid, while I'm getting nothing." Soul said.
Maka walked out of the room and to souls orange bike. He walked out a moment later and sat on the bike, getting it started. "well, are you just gonna stand there?" soul asked looking back at Maka.
Soul felt Maka's arms snake around his waist as he started to drive away. His skin burned where her arms were wrapped. He also realized that Maka was pressing herself against him more than normal. Either that or he couldn't call her tiny tits anymore. 'when will I tell her? I love this girl, but I'm afraid of rejection. I have to do this tonight.' He thought. They parked the bike and hopped off. The 2 young adults walked to the elevator, and soul was relieved to find no one else was there. He slowly reached for her hand and held it tightly in his as the doors started to close.
"soul, Maka! Wait up!" black*star said running up to the elevator and pulling Tsubaki through the doors before they closed. "we were right behind you the whole time! I'm surprised you didn't notice us, with how big we are." he realized then that soul and Maka were holding hands. "so, the plan worked?"
"what plan?" soul asked.
"the plan to get you and Maka together. I see it worked." Black*star smiled smugly
"YOU BAKA! NO THE PLAN HAS NOT WORKED, YOU JUST TOLD HIM ABOUT IT." Maka yelled and ran out of the now open elevator doors and sprinted to her apartment.
Maka rushed into the bathroom and called lord death. "42-42-564, whenever you want him, knock on deaths door."
"hey! Hello, Maka! Why are you calling so late? Kidd told me you were sleeping over at the mansion." Shinigami asked.
"well, I just wanted to schedule a meeting for soul and I in the morning, we have something to tell you."
"ok, but why are you back at your house? Did Kidd throw you out again?" lord death asked in his goofy voice.
"no, but you may want to check in on him. He and patty were all over each other when we left." Soul said walking into the bathroom.
"hey octopus head, why did you just walk in with my daughter in the bathroom?" spirit asked, walking out from behind the death mirror.
"I heard lord deaths voice, so I figured she would be decent." Soul smirked at Maka, giving her a look that told her to play along with whatever was about to happen. "it wouldn't have been so bad if she was naked, I can't call her tiny tits anymore. And besides, we are going out now." Soul wrapped his arms around Maka's waist and pulled her into him. Maka just smiled and nodded.
"Maka! DID HE FORCE YOU TO DO IT MAKA? PAPA LOVES YOU MORE THAN HE EVER COULD!"
SHINIGAMI-CHOP!
Spirit was sprawled out on the floor with a dent in his head and a fountain of blood. "well, you kids have fun, and please, stop harassing death scythe. He is traumatized enough from constant shinigami chops that are mostly caused by you. I'm out, bye."
"soul, you can let go now." Maka said, trying to get out of his grip.
"mmm, I don't wanna. How about we stay like this for the rest of the night?"
"you don't have to go along with the plan. It was stupid of me to-" soul pulled a small rectangular box out of his pocket and got down on one knee. He opened the box, and inside was a charm bracelet.
"Maka, I love you. Will you go out with me?" soul asked offering her the bracelet. Each of the charms said something different. 'I love you' 'be mine' 'you will always be a part of my soul." He pulled one of the charms up for her to see. On this largest charm, it said 'soul and Maka, green and red, opposites definitely attract.' This charm was shaped like a heart, all the rest being the sun, moon, and stars. Each charm had an emerald and a ruby.
"yes"
