Confession
Since Soul had been kidnapped for some much-needed time with the boys Maka decided to invite the girls over for some tea. It didn't take long at all for Tsubaki to arrive, she and Black Star did only live about two blocks away. Maka was preparing the tea when Liz and Patty came walking in. Now that the tea was prepared, and everyone was sitting comfortably in the living room, it did not take long to start conversation about the upcoming wedding. The conversation morphed from playing twenty questions with Tsubaki to the men in their lives. Liz had expressed her recent annoyance with Kid over a new piece of art and how it is to be displayed. Patty showed next to no interest in a romantic life, beyond watching the occasional movie with Liz. Then much to Maka's distain the topic of her and Soul came up. It's not that Maka doesn't like Soul, she loves him but that doesn't mean she liked her feeling for him being the topic of conversation.
"How have things been going with Soul?" Tsubaki questioned in her innocent way.
Maka looked at Tsubaki, she was more than a little red in the face. "he's cool, nothing has really changed." Maka could tell looking around, that answer would not satisfy this bunch.
"Come on Maka tell us how you feel!" Shouted Patty.
"Yeah really, it's not like it's a secret. If you can defeat the Kishin you can easily tell Soul." Liz commented in her non-sealant way.
"Your scared" Tsubaki stated, she knew Maka well and didn't need to ask. Still everyone stopped what they were doing to look at her. "That pursuing your relationship further could jeopardize your relationship. That if something goes wrong you will never be able to work together again. Soul residence cannot occur when there is hate or malice between the miester and weapon. You do not want to repeat the same mistakes as your parents before you." Tsubaki took a sip of her tea, a look that could only be love waved across her. "I felt the same way. When Black Star shouted out his feelings for me and asked me out. I asked myself if it was worth the risk. I took that risk and I couldn't be happier with that choice. Now you need to ask yourself that question Maka. Is a life together with Soul, forever, worth the risk? Maka stayed still for a long time, simply looking into her tea. She knew her answer to the question, long before Tsubaki asked her. Now she had to be braver than ever before. Maka had to first admit her feelings to her friends…then Soul.
