Hello there, followers! This is Chapter 2 for my SoMa fan-fic, hope you enjoy it.
Last Time on Fresh Start: I ran to the death room to meet my also out of breath weapon, clearly confused why were both called here the first day. I looked at him again, to see him staring at me also. "Hey, I am sure it will be fine." There was a cool chill in his voice, and I was put at a sudden ease. "Nice pigtails." He smiled, and my heart melted. His teeth were such a unique feature to him, and he grabbed my hand in his, a soft pink hazing over his cheeks. He gestured his head and added, "Well come on, let's go!" and shoved open the door.
The door screamed open with a creepy sharp creek. I winced at the noise and looked down to see my hand in Soul's. A rush of mixed emotions went through my mind and out of confusion I ripped my hand out of his grasping one. My body felt hollow and he glanced at me quickly, and his eyes seemed to say, Why did you do that? But then he remembered he barely knew me and fixated his eyes to the death room and began walking in, ignoring if I was following him or not. My heart hurt, but I retraced his steps anyway. You would never do that if it was Jasper… Whatever. We were side by side by the time we reached Lord Death.
"Oh, hello hello!" he chirped, his high pitched voice screaming in my mind. Why would Lord Death be so cheery? Soul and I forced a smile and I replied a,
"Hello Lord Death, what do you need from us?"
"You two are partners correct?"
"Correct" Soul and I responded in sync, glanced at each other, and then looked back down.
"Soul, you live alone, is that right?"
"Uh… yeah…" he looked awkwardly around, but then sternly looked at Lord Death.
"And Maka, you live with my weapon, Spirit right?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
"I want Maka to move into Soul's apartment immediately, starting tomorrow."
"WHAT!" Soul and I screamed.
"Lord Death, my father would not approve." I stammered.
"Nonsense, I already talked to him."
"But why Lord Death?" Soul asked questioningly.
"I believe it would help you resonate souls in the future, and get along better."
"But..." I hated my father, but moving in with Soul? It was awkward already!
"No buts, now goodbye!" He sang, and turned around, pretending to work on something else in this strange room. With nothing else to say or do, Soul and I turned around and walked out of the room.
"Hey- I am sorry about befo-" I started.
"Don't worry about it, roommate." Soul winked, but I could see a flash of hurt in his eyes again. He gave me a peace sign and jogged away, and gave me another glance and sloppy grin… this look told me he was planning something.
~The Next Morning~
"Ugh…" I stammered, pushing my palm into my pulsing head. I felt sluggish, and knowing I had a lot to do today, didn't make me feel any better. Moving day, eh… I wonder what Jasper would think if he knew I was moving in with a cute boy. Cute? WHAT! I had spent all night packing up my entire room, and peeling Spirit away from my things, and trying to make him quiet down when he was sobbing for so long. How is this happening? I got ready for the day, and moved my boxes to the front door, so when Soul came to pick it up after school, (In a rented Death City pick-up truck) it would be easier. I ran to school with my breakfast, (toast) in my mouth. I really need to get a moped or something.
When I got to school, I noticed all my friends huddled around the table, whispering fiercely, a few of them grinning mischievously. They hadn't noticed me there yet, and I continued gazing them until I decided to walk over, loudly, and as casual as I could. They all looked up and stopped talking then yelled,
"Hey Maka!" my friends stammered in unison. What are they planning? Were they talking about me… making fun of me…? That thought was denied when Liz and Patty grinned and said,
"Wanna come over two days from now? After you are all settled in… in Soul's house?" They said the last part while sticking their tongues out and giggling madly. My face flamed up and I stuttered,
"Uhh... sure…o-o-okay…" they giggled some more, and I saw them start texting each other, but the only words I could glance at were, he'll love it. Uh oh.
"Where is Soul anyway?" I muttered, but it seemed to have caught everyone's attention, and they all stared at me. W-w-w-hat?
"He probably over slept…" Kidd answered, looking a tad nervous.
"YEAH! HE WOULDN'T WANT TO MISS-!" Black Star yelled, and Tsubaki elbowed him in the ribs, offering a small smile.
"I'm sure he just slept in, he may be nervous about you moving in." Liz stated, as the bell rang. What is going on here?
~School Ended, Maka, Soul and the Rest of the Gang Already Got Her Stuff and Dropped It Off~
They were all carrying my boxes of stuff when Soul's apartment came into view, it was a wheel of beautiful colors, and I was excited to get inside, but nervous why everyone was acting strange… Well, stranger than normal… As we reached his front door, everyone was grinning, I reached my pale hand onto the harshly cold door handle, and pulled it open, waiting for the unexpected.
