Day two guys, enjoy!
Best Friends
Best Friend: a person's closest friend; someone's "person"
Maka would have never thought in a million years that her sharp-tooth, aloof weapon partner would be her closest friend. A couple of years ago she met him by simply stumbling upon his piano playing during their meister-weapon orientation. The dark but beautiful melody he played on the piano that day compelled her to his soul. Which in the end caused her to ask if they could be partners. Surprisingly enough, he agreed to be her weapon and the rest is history.
Now, two years later, they have a deep bond that no one could ever sever. They know each other inside and out, from knowing each other's favorite foods to each other's daily mannerisms. Both of them ran combs through every inch of their very essence and soul. They even know each other more than they know themselves.
Although Soul seems to be a deviant individual, Maka still accepts him for who he truly is deep down. Even when she doesn't understand him sometimes. Soul noted that Maka is very studious and possesses a serious nature but he still accepts her for who she is. Even though he thinks she can be an overachiever and a perfectionist.
Soul knows how she likes her breakfast every weekend morning. Scrambled eggs, small waffles, and orange juice with a couple of ice cubes. And Maka knows that Soul simply likes a cup of coffee and one waffle.
Every time Maka snacked on something Soul always, without asking, took a bite out of it or just simply ate the rest. Sometimes Maka just allowed it, other times she would scold him when she was in a really snacky mood.
They were the only ones who saw each other's goofy side. Maka would get little noogies from him, causing her hair to be disheveled. Which ended up her Maka Chopping him moments after. Then there were times when Maka would jump up and down on Soul's bed just to wake him up. As much as Soul would be irritated by it, he would just throw a pillow at her or just let happen. And many nights they would stay up all night, laughing at the silliest things, until one of them falls asleep.
They have their own little inside jokes. Some with just a word with their own connotative meaning. Sometimes when something happened, they simply looked at each other and smiled as they thought the same thing. Their classmates gave them weird looks when they saw them snickering amongst themselves. But Soul and Maka knew that they just don't understand and they were fine with that.
Some late nights they have deep conversations. Over the years Maka noticed that Soul is a deep thinker and reflects on a lot of things. Sometimes she would catch him after midnight thinking deeply and she would ask him what's on his mind. Soul would speak the thoughts that he would conceal during the day, with Maka listening intently. They would talk about their deepest secrets, their troubles, and their daily thoughts to one another. The two both held their nightly conversations deep in their hearts, as it brought them closer together.
Maka would watch Soul play video games when she had nothing else to do. And Soul would listen to her ramble on about novels she finished, even when he didn't understand a word she was talking about.
Besides fighting together and performing their soul resonance, they would hold hands for no reason. One of them would just grab each other's hand and caressed it or hold it tightly. Soul would mindlessly play with her fingers or do little thumb wars with her out of boredom. And Maka would swing their hands up and down playfully while laughing. To others who didn't know how they operated, they would assume that the two were a couple.
When Soul caught the flu and was sick for a whole week, Maka made sure she stayed home so she can take care of him. She made him eat many soups, made him take countless medicines, and constantly checked on him. Even though Soul told her many times that he was doing fine and being taken care of was not cool, Maka persisted and still nursed him. Eventually, Soul just gave up and let her be his caregiver. Although deep down, Soul was grateful that he had someone who worried about him and cared for him.
When it was Maka's "time of the month", Soul would buy her the stuff she needed, even though he didn't really understand how a period operated. He even goes the extra mile and makes her dinner and buys her food that satisfied her cravings. He learned that chocolate ice cream was her go-to. He deals with her mood swings and her small episodes of female rage. Maka was thankful to have him deal with her during her "vulnerable" weeks. Even with him being oblivious about the disgust and pain she felt from her menstrual cycle.
Every time they defeated a Kishin they would do their own little handshake to quickly celebrate. It took them a while to come up with it, but after doing it many times they began to master it. They would high five each other followed with slapping the back of their hands against another. Finishing with taking the tip of their hands and raising it up then down, and snapping their fingers to close it off. They messed up a few times when they first came up with it, but now they perfected it to the point that it comes as easy as breathing.
During their mission at Baba Yaga's Castle, Medusa lied to Maka, fooling her to believe that Crona was alright. Maka punched the floor as her tears fell to the ground. But, as always, Soul was right by her side, silently comforting her. He didn't need to say anything since she just simply grabbed his arm and cried on his black jacket. She could always count on him to be there for her, even during her worst moments.
Soul never left her, even when they had some of their biggest fights, he never abandoned her. When Maka was in trouble Soul wasn't too far away to not protect her. Same for Maka, she never left his side, even when they were at their lowest. Soul couldn't count any moment where Maka betrayed him and was ashamed of him. He was used to his family being ashamed of him and cared more about keeping fake appearances. But Maka didn't, she knew and loved the real him, flaws and all. They never left each other, no matter what tried to stand in their way. Nothing in this world can break their powerful bond.
ooo
Maka stood up from her bed and noticed the picture that sat on her dresser. When she examined it she smiled to herself. It was a picture of her and Soul at a party together. She was smiling and holding up and peace sign and he was wearing a proud smirk while stuffing his hands in his pockets. Maka set the photo back down and proceeded towards the kitchen.
When she walked in she saw Soul busy munching on some cereal. He looked up to see Maka greeting him with a bright smile. Soul furrowed his eyebrows with a confused smile, "Why got you so cheery this morning?"
Maka took her finger and poked his nose, "I'm just happy I have someone like you as my closest friend and partner, that's all."
Soul lifted a brow since he didn't understand what was going on with her today. "You are so weird sometimes..."
Maka giggled as she walked over and grabbed a pan to make her waffles. "I know."
That's it, guys! Hope y'all enjoyed today's theme.
Day 2 complete! :)
