"He called you last night?!" He flared at her as he paced in front of the couch where Maka was seated.
Maka eyed her partner. The boy who was always cool and nonchalant always faltered when it came to Maka and it made her smile knowing she was the only one to make him like this or possibly even see him like this.
"It was him who called last night and you didn't tell me?" He said again thrusting his arms in the air.
Maka shrugged. "I was tired." She reasons wanting to lay down again. They were called in for classes today instead of O.R. and Maka was still exhausted.
"MAKA!" He yelled angrily. Whenever it came to Asuko he would always act like this, it was normal.
Ever since Asuko's disappearance 3 years ago Maka would always find notes around their apartment and sometimes inside her locker or even on her desk. The notes were written in blood and mostly it would just say 'i miss you' she knew who it was from and as much as possible she doesn't tell Soul about it because he blows up whenever they talk about Asuko.
Maka yawned. "Why don't we use this time to rest for our class rather than to argue about this now."
Soul ignores this. "I though we had an agreement that you would tell me as soon as possible if Asuko does something."
"That's why I'm telling you right now."
Soul stopped and his expression softens. He blows out a sigh. "What do you think?"
Maka lifted a questionable eyebrow.
Soul sighed again. "What do you think about Asuko's call?"
"I think he's bluffing." She says without hesitation.
He looks Maka in the eye for a moment. "Are you sure about that?"
"Positive." She said with a yawn laying down on the couch again with a huff Soul sits back down with Maka.
The school was deserted aside from Soul and Maka and some other students who were relieved from duty. Dr. Steins class had about 6 people counting Maka, Soul and one of them to Maka's delight was Jackie. Sitting alone just a few chairs away.
Soul could feel Jackie staring at him but he doesn't look back. He does however accidentally glance at her as he was looking out the window in boredom. He couldn't look away fast enough as she winked at him. He sighs as this hopefully Maka didn't see it as she was reading on what looked like a dictionary but a scowl comes out of her saying she saw that.
Kid soon comes in at exactly 8 o'clock looking quite dreadful but still managing to look symmetrical. Maka couldn't blame him all of them 'bout looked the same, tired and fatigued. Just looking at their black shadowy eyes showed how much they've been working for the past week. School has been difficult as they had to do O.R.'s and lesson leaving them no time to rest.
Kid sees her and smiles warmly through his darkening face. It was Soul's turn to scowl. Soul wanted to wail Kid away as he was walking towards him. Just once, Soul wanted to be alone with her Meister in peace without anyone bugging the both of them.
He sprawled onto the their table. Dr. Stein wasn't even in. He's possibly coming from O.R. gliding on his revolving chair.
Kid frowned upon seeing Maka. "Are you feeling well?" He asks concerned. Maka was slimming down. Shw was literally skin and bones. She hasn't had a proper meal since the O.R. started and that's just because she and Soul would be dead tired coming home that they don't bother to eat and just rest until their next shift comes.
Maka smiles at his concern. "Tired but good." Kid looked skeptical but didn't argue with her about it. Knowing Maka she'd probably just yell at him if he pushes the topic.
"Aren't you going to ask me too?" Soul says sarcastically his head tucked under his arms as he lay down on the table.
Maka scowls at him. "So, how are you holding up with you guys?" She asks Kid closing her book.
"Not so well. As much as I hate to say it, we're having a difficult time. Liz is sick and I can't bring myself to bring Patti along with." Kid admits looking down.
Soon they could hear something rolling through the halls outside the classroom sure enough Stein comes in rolling but the wheels on his chair catches into something and he falls off the chair legs in the air.
"Mornin' " Says the adviser pulling himself up and rolling back up to face his 7 students. Maka watched him. He looked just as tired as they have and his lab coat was dirty meaning he had just came from the O.R. "Today we'll be looking into a body of a Death Scythe."
Soul shot up from his chair eyes wide. Maka side ward glances at Soul jaw dropped.
Stein sees this and waves them off. "Don't worry Soul we already have a volunteer." The mad doctor reassures jabbing a thumb to the table. The whole class seems to not have noticed a bulky white drape on top of the table until he pointed it out. The doctor pulled on the drape showing a knocked out topless strapped-down perverted Death Scythe who happens to be Maka's father.
She was going to enjoy this class.
"Asuko called?" Lord Death says as he sipped his tea.
Maka nodded. "Yes, Lord Death and I think he really means it."
"How so?"
Maka stopped and thought about it. "I just sort of know."
Dr. Stein's class was dismissed shortly after the Death Scythe wakes and panics, thrashing himself off of the table and runs away, the mad scientist following pursuit with a scalpel at hand eyes glowing. Hissing how it was just like old times.
Maka soon tells Soul that she has to do something quick while he's at his weapons class and dashes to the Death Room to speak with the Lord of Death.
"Asuko never calls and never fails to give me a letter but when I was just about to think that he's forgotten about me he calls. I just-" She stops. "There's something telling me he'll really come."
Lord Death pauses for another sip and places his mug back on the skull table. "Have you told Soul?" he says casually.
Maka bit her lower lip. "About the call, yes."
"and how about Asuko coming back?" He asks already knowing the answer.
Maka went silent.
Lord Death stands up then and hops to his mirror. "If it were you, you would want to know. You wouldn't like to be kept in the dark." He finally says not facing her.
Guilt surged into Maka. "I know but, I just don't want to worry him." She looks down at her own untouched cup. "Soul's been different. He changes whenever it's about Asuko. I hate to see him when he worries." She mumbles mostly to herself.
"Now, Maka. You can't really blame him. He lost you once and if you were conscious back then you would see how much it tore him apart he won't let that happen again." This silences Maka again. She knew. She's been constantly reminded of how tormented Soul was whenever partnership was on the line or whenever their bond was being questioned. He's traumatized and she could see it. He would even have dreams about it. She knew and it crushed her for giving Soul that kind of pain. "What if he finds out?"
Maka bit her lip. "He'll understand." She paused looking into her cup with green ooze. "I hope."
"It's not wise to keep Soul in the dark. You know how he is. Your partner is an extension of yourself you of all people know this." Lord Death was being really serious about this and it was really creeping Maka. Lord Death was never serious.
"I'll just- tell him when it's the right time." and with that Maka bows and leaves without another word.
Lord Death sips into his cup. "You can come out now." He says his cheery voice back.
Someone walks out from the shadows and stops just in front of the God of death. "Father, is he really coming back?"
There was a pause. "I'm afraid so, son."
