I'm stressing and this is my outlet. Sorry I haven't been updating. My life turned to crap recently. And I think I may have some issues that desperately need to be sorted out. Anyway, I tried.

This does not connect with the previous chapter. I'll let you know otherwise.


Slip Of the Tongue

I'm such an idiot.

Why the hell would I say that out loud?! I must've been tired. Couldn't sort my thoughts, so I spoke them aloud. But why that one? So not cool. She's gonna say we can't be friends. She's gonna try to get rid of me. I freaked her out. What do I do? What do Ido?

She hasn't spoken for over a minute! That's a bad sign. I wanna run, but I can't move. I'm already sore from the kishin we fought earlier, I am on the verge of collapsing. But I'm frozen, unable to look away from her bright green eyes. I can only wait for her to say something.

The silence feels so thick, I can barely breathe. C'mon Maka talk to me.

"Please say something." I didn't realize I spoke until I heard her gasp. She looked confused, dazed even. I regret every word, but I can't say I didn't mean them.

"Wh-What did you say?" Her voice is barely a whisper. I was unfortunate enough to hear it. The question I desperately wanted to ignore. But she knew I heard. She knew I heard every word. Fuck, I'm in trouble now.

"Uh…Well, I uh.." Stop stuttering like an idiot! Just get it over with! Okay, okay, I can do this. Just breathe, maybe she won't deck you across the room. "I said…You're lucky I'm…in love with you…or I…wouldn't be doin' this crazy…shit." I mumbled the last word. I could get hit twice as hard for that.

She stood completely still, and I waited for her to do something. Anything really! It was freaking me out how quiet she was. "H-how…How long?" She took a moment to phrase the question. "How long have you felt...this way?"

How was I supposed to answer that?! I don't even know myself. I just realized I felt this way towards my meister one day. Hopefully no one noticed those few days I couldn't stop staring at her. No, someone noticed. There's no way our observant group of friends missed that. I'm just glad they haven't said anything. "I-I don't know. I just…you know, fell in love with you I guess." That sounded weird. "I guess it happened so gradually I didn't notice until I wanted to ki-…uh." I grumbled hoping she didn't catch that.

"Wanted to what, Soul?" I didn't answer. There's no way I'm answering that. "Soul?" Way to go Eater, you royally screwed yourself over.

Screw it, dammit! "Kiss you! I wanted to kiss you! I still do!" Shit, that last part wasn't supposed to come out. What the hell is wrong with me?!

"R-Really?"

"Yeah. For a while now." It got quiet again. Okay, abort! Time to run! "Well uh…I'm pretty tired s-"

When did she..? She's kissing me. What? I can't move. I can't believe this is happening. What are you doing?! Kiss her back before it's too late!

Before she moves away I return her kiss. Finally. I bet that's what our friends are saying. My thoughts steadily turn to mush when the kiss gets more heated.

Her skin is soft. So smooth. I don't know how she keeps it that way, considering the amount of falls she's taken and the cuts she's received. But that thought trails off into another. Her hands are going through my hair in the most enticing way. It makes me dizzy, but also excited.

When we pull apart, I give her my sharpest grin. She only smiles warmly in return. And it makes me feel warm inside. I didn't know my tired mumbles could get me this lucky.

Cool.


I know the ending is strange. At least it felt weird to me. Short. A little rushed too. This came off the top of my head so, this is what you get. I think I'm gonna make this my stress writing bucket. Don't hold your breath, but I'm gonna be plopping random stories here. Woo. I'm really not excited right now, sorry. Later dudes.
