Maka came out of the shower in time to see Soul nodding off to his music, which was the perfect time to plop herself onto his other side and watch his chest rise then fall with every breath. They'd just come back from a mission and Soul had jumped into the shower before she could finish submitting their status report to Kidd using their handmirror. She opened the bathroom for just enough to place a set of Soul's clothes onto the counter and then carefully clicked the door shut before he complained about the escaping heat. When it was her turn to shower, there was plenty of warm water to scrub the grime from her collar bones and the dirt from under her nails. Soul mercifully was reputable for showering quickly, something she wasn't blessed with because of her meister duties. Nonetheless, Soul fell asleep in the short time that passed and Maka wasn't going to let this opportunity pass.
She gently pinched the earbud in his left ear and fitted it into her own. Ah. It was their song again, the song she's caught him humming as he cleaned and the song that drifted through the apartment when she came home just a few minutes earlier than usual. It was the song that he refused to show her the full version of, although, it looks like she's managed to sneak a preview before the unveil. Maka's shoulder met his as she drifted to her dreams of her gentle weapon.
As her breathing evened out, Soul cracked his eye open to look to his meister. Her lips were slightly parted as her hand inched slowly to his. He sighed and cautiously pulled her body closer to his, almost sitting her on his lap as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Now now, if you sleep like this, you're going to catch a cold when you wake up." Soul brushed her still damp hair away from her face, then kissed her temple just before letting her head rest against his. "Usually, when people are sharing headphones, they make it so the wire doesn't get too stretched, dummy. Oh well, I guess it works out."
Their shared warmth lured him back to sleep, and their ever present resonance joined their dreams, creating a gazebo surrounded by acres wild flowers over a clear blue sky, perfect for dancing in their most comfortable pajamas to their song.
