~Holding Hands~

"Hey Soul, Maka?" Patty acknowledged the scythe pair before she continued. "Why do you guys always hold hands?"

The pair stared at her for a moment before they looked at their hands. It wasn't really surprising that her fighting-calloused fingers were intertwined with his piano-calloused fingers. Soul shrugged it off, "I don't know, just comforting I guess."

Maka will admit that when she and Soul first became partners the idea of holding hands was taboo. It was just awkward at first she will admit when she first reach for his hand when they first began fighting for kishen eggs. The fighting had grown fierce over the first few months they had spent at Shibusen, but their awkwardness between them had faded away in that amount of time. Still the option of holding hands had never crossed their minds until their fight against Blair. Her fingers squeezed Soul's ever so slightly, Soul looked at his meister to see her studying their hands, a smirk appeared on his face before he returned to his conversation with Black*Star. She felt the pad of his thumb gently grazing over her knuckles trying to sooth her. The event replayed in her head, she never felt so betrayed but seeing his hand extended towards her she felt her heart flutter for just a split second. She felt glad that he wanted her to take his hand, it made her feel special.

Maka let her head settle on Soul's shoulder to his pleasure, she other hand gently played with their intertwined fingers as she began to talk with the girls. "NO! There is no way your tactics beat what I, your amazing god and my outstanding weapon, can perform." Black*Star shouted as his staring shouting out at Shinigami's son. Some things never seem to change.

He loved the feeling of her small hand in his, though he would admit he was afraid, at first, that if he held hands with his meister he would scare away many of the girls. Now he really didn't care for what they thought he was taken or not. They really didn't seem to notice him until after he had became a Death Scythe, and that was thanks to her. Why should he leave her now? Just because lazy meisters were sending him partner requests, and they didn't want to work in making their weapons stronger? It would be uncool if he decided to cheat his Maka just for the requests. "Hey…" He whispered against her ear. She turned her head to look up at her Death Scythe. "Let's go find a mission."

She smiled up at him as she stood up their hands still attached together, "Sounds like a plan." As she tugged at his hand eagerly, "Let's go!"

Soul let himself being dragged to his feet by the petite blonde. He smugly followed his meister into the academy, why would he give up being with his meister, especially at the thought of someone else holding her tiny hand and the touch of her calloused fingers against someone else's skin.

Liz scoffed slightly to gain the attention of the other five in the group, "Comforting my ass…" She stated as she rested an elbow on her knee, "They definitely like each other."
