"No I don't want any fucking ice cream!" Soul exclaimed, about to lose his sanity. Liz shrugged and went into her room, shutting the door very quietly. Soul sighed heavily and plopped down into a blue living room chair. He stared up at the ceiling and listened to the soothing silence that enveloped him. What the hell have I done…? He thought. Why did I do this to Maka? How could I have done this?! He felt like if he knew himself and he was a different person, he'd punch himself in the face. He buried his face in his hands and sunk further down into the recliner. Soul groaned as loud as he could and punched the wall next to him.
Blair slung her arm around Maka and led her home.
"It's okay, Maka-chan!" she comforted.
"Don't screw with me, I'm emotional!" she responded. Blair sighed and rubbed Maka's back. She turned into cat form and sat on her shoulder, her tail wrapped around the meister's neck.
"I can't believe he would do something like this!" Maka exclaimed, "This isn't him! This isn't Soul…This is SO not COOL!" Blair chuckled a little by mistake.
"Blair, I'm serious. I can't believe him," Maka said, crossing her arms. She walked on, staring at the oncoming crack in sidewalk pavement. Blair sighed every now and then, but other than that, there was not a single sound; just the wind in the cherry trees. Maka swore to herself that second that she would not cry. She would NOT cry. They continued to walk to Maka's apartment in the quiet. When they finally arrived at her doorstep, Maka opened the door and let Blair go in. Maka just sat on the porch and stared into the empty yard. Maka sighed. Why did this happen to me? Why did Soul cheat? He's completely AGAINST cheating! Maka felt a tear about to come out of her left eye, but she held it in. She was not going to do this. Not now. All of a sudden, Maka felt dizzy. She lay down on the porch and stared at two roofs moving in circles. She shut her eyes. I hate Soul…
Soul got up, out of his chair and stood up. His soul wavelength was going out of whack and he had to do something about it. He grabbed his jacket and jogged out of Liz's apartment without mentioning anything. Soul jogged down the street until he finally slowed his pace to a trot. He made his way around a corner and peered at Maka from behind a building. She's not crying. Thank GOD. He thought. Then he slowly forced himself to walk over to her. Her eyes were shut and she was turned on her side, facing Soul. Soul gulped when he was at last about two yards away from her.
"M-Maka…" he whispered, trying not to scare her.
"Get out of here," she said, not bothering to open her eyes. She tried to hold her tears back as hard as she could. Soul started to turn to leave, but he stayed facing her.
"I can't, I…I gotta talk to you," he said, walking a little closer to her. He could see her eyes crack open the teeniest bit, but then quickly shut again.
"I don't want to talk to you," she said after a long, awkward silence.
"Please?"
"Away from me."
"Maka!"
"No!" Soul sighed and sat down next to her.
"You don't have to talk to me then; I'll just talk to you," Soul said, staring at her motionless body. Maka grunted in response.
"Maka, I didn't mean for this to happen," he said. Maka said nothing. "I wanted to just be with one of you, but I couldn't make up my mind…" his voice trailed off, remembering how the whole situation with Liz started.
~FLASHBACK!~
Soul walked down the school hallway, gripping his meister's hand. As he passed Liz and Patty, Liz made a face. Soul gave her a look that said, "What's wrong with you?" and continued to walk with Maka. It was like that all day, actually. Liz would get snotty whenever she saw Soul and Maka all lovey-dovey like that and she'd be jealous. After school, Maka had to go out to lunch with her father as a part of losing a bet. Soul was left to walk home alone.
"You wanna walk with us?" Liz asked, an outstretched hand offering to hold his, "Patty's gotta help Black*Star and Tsubaki with some stupid thing, and Kid's still in the library studying." Soul gratefully accepted, for he felt uncool when he walked home alone. He took Liz's hand, not thinking anything of it, and started the walk home. Her apartment came before his, so he would have to walk the rest of the way home anyway, but it was worth it.
"So how are you and Maka?" she asked with absolutely no emotion.
"We're…progressing…" he chose his words carefully, making sure not to give anything away.
"Oh," she said. She was carefully studying her shoes. Soul, feeling awkward now that her hands were getting sweaty, took his hand away and shoved it in his pocket. Liz didn't look, she just kept walking.
"I like you," she blurted, still not looking at him. Soul chuckled.
"I know," he said, "You always get so jealous whenever I'm with her."
"Oh," Liz replied, not knowing what to say.
"I mean, I kind of like you, too, but I'm still with Maka with no intention of leaving her," Soul said, kind of regretting it, but glad that it was finally out.
"Oh," she said again, "Well…you should break up with her, so we can be together." Now he was in trouble.
"I can't…I'm committed to Maka…" he sighed, now staring at the concrete himself.
"Can you just date me now then?" Liz asked, looking up from her studying but quickly looking back when she saw that he wasn't paying attention.
"You mean cheat," Soul said, surprised.
"No, not cheat. Just…date us both at the same time," Liz said, turning to him and smiling.
"I don't think I-" he was cut off.
"Come ON, Soul!" Liz said, "It's not like it's illegal or anything."
"Cool guys don't cheat on their partners," Soul pointed out.
"A cool guy would date me. I mean, just look at Maka. She has absolutely no figure and she's always reading! Wouldn't you rather date someone as hot as me that hates reading?!" Liz exclaimed. Soul had to admit, she had a point.
"Okay then," he agreed, "Just make sure that Maka DOES NOT find out." Liz nodded, kissed him, and walked into her apartment. What did I just agree to? Soul thought as he walked the rest of the way home alone.
~END OF FLASHBACK~
"Well you should have just broken up with me if she's THAT much BETTER than I am," Maka said, nearly bursting into tears at the sentence.
"Maka, I can't help being in love with both of you!" Soul said, hiding his face in his jacket sleeve.
"If you really loved me, you wouldn't have done this to me!" she snapped.
"I'm sorry!" he nearly yelled, then he remembered not to yell at her anymore, "I'm sorry…" Maka sighed and opened her eyes. They were incredibly pretty, he realized. A tear ran down her cheek for the first time in what seemed like forever.
"I hate you," Maka said, her eyes fixed on his. Soul was taken aback by this outburst, and tried to shake it off.
"You can have Liz, because we're over. And I'm never getting with you again," Maka said, arching her brow, "You shouldn't have slept with her, Soul."
"How did you know about that?!" he yelled.
"I didn't 'til just now," Maka countered, her face getting redder, angrier. Soul smacked his forehead and sighed.
"You think you're SO COOL, Soul. But this…this isn't cool AT ALL. You're not allowed back in the apartment. I'll be back in a minute with all your shit," Maka said, getting up and disappearing into the building. Soul sighed and waited for Maka to come back with all his "shit". About half an hour later, Blair came out holding all of his stuff. It actually wasn't that much; just a box of his things and a backpack full of all his clothes. Maka made sure to add all the love notes, presents, etc, etc…
"Maka doesn't want to hear SHIT from you for awhile," Blair said, the she added, "And neither do I!" She dropped his stuff on the ground and walked back into the building. Soul ran his left hand through his hair and picked up his things. It took half an hour to get back to Liz's house. When he got there, he kicked the door open and set his stuff down on the couch. He was surprised that Liz was sitting on the couch…wearing a hot pink tank top and tan booty shorts.
"Is that all your stuff?" Liz asked, not even looking.
"Yup," he responded, rubbing the back of his own neck. Liz got up and carried the stuff to her room.
"We don't have any extra rooms, so I guess you'll just have to sleep in here," she said, setting the box and backpack down on a blue and pink plaid bed.
"Oh boy…" Soul said sarcastically, eyeing the girlish pink-infested room.
"Oh boy," Liz repeated, an incredibly creepy smirk crawling across her made-up face.
