Author's Note: Okay! Chapter 3 is right here! I don't really have much to say… Hmm… first time that probably ever happened…
Anyway, disclaimer stuff blah, blah, blah…
ON WITH THE STORY!
EDIT: This part is being edited. :D READ THIS! NOOOOOOWW! Well, nothing much, just a sentence. :/ I know, it doesn't seem too important, but, please, just… read it. :D It pretty much corresponds to the next chapter.
-o-o-o-
"Maka! It's your turn to clean up! I'm in my room. Yell if you need anything," Soul said, hands stuffed in his pockets.
"Okay…" the meister said a hint of distance in her voice.
Soul sighed as he opened his door. 'What's up with her? She's blocking out my soul. She's guarding herself. But why is it from me?' The demon scythe flopped down onto his bed, getting ready for some major thinking. And that didn't happen much.
-o-o-o-
'When do I tell him? Let alone ask him? Heck, when am I gonna get the nerves? …Probably never.' Maka was washing the dishes, half her mind focused on Soul.
"Ugh, why is this so hard?! I can face the all-powerful Azura, and defeat him, but I can't do something like this?!"
"What can't you do?"
The meister nearly jumps a foot off the ground. 'When did he get in here?!'
"Soul, you don't need to worry about it. It's just… girl stuff," she said with a shrug, going back to scrubbing the dishes.
"You know you can come to me with anything right? Even the girly stuff?" he asked as he leaned against the door frame to the kitchen.
Maka stilled for a moment, thinking if she should tell him about her… "problems". "Well… It's, um, I'm having some boy problems…" the ashy-haired girl said, blushing as she waited for the teasing.
"What happened?"
Maka was shocked to say the least. "What, no ridicules comeback like 'What kind of boy would ever like you?'? Are you sick or something?" Maka walked over to him and put the back of her hand onto his forehead.
"What? Can't I be worried for my meister?"
"It's unlike you, that's all," she said, pulling her hand away after seeing he was fine.
"Well, whatever. You wanna' tell me what's wrong?"
Maka sighed. 'Might as well tell him. That's the right thing… right? I mean… sure it is about him but…'
Soul grabbed Maka by her shoulders. "Maka, stop that!"
She was shocked. "Wh-What did I do?" she asked, shocked at his sudden outburst.
"Your soul. It's crawling away from me! Inching away deeper into your body! Is there something wrong? Is there something you're keeping from me? Please tell me Maka!"
-o-o-o-
'What the hell is happening? Why does she keep going away? There are more walls forming!'
"Maka, please let me in! What's wrong?"
She just stands there, dumbstruck. '…Is that what's happening to me? I'm… closing him off?' She stares into his eyes. Then, she says something unconsciously.
"I love you Soul."
Both their eyes widened. However, Maka's eyes were filled with tears as well.
Soul stared at her through unblinking eyes. Finally, after what seemed like hours to the both of them, Maka tried to break free of his grip. This broke the scythe out of his trance. He gripped her shoulders firmly, not enough to hurt her, but enough to keep her in place.
"Maka…"
"D-Don't say anything Soul! I know your answer! I shouldn't have even said anything. I'm sorry for blocking you off. I really am. Just, please, stay my friend! Don't let what I said come between us!" Maka was practically pleading at the end. She had tears dripping from her eyes.
All Soul could do was stare. That is, he did something that was as stupid as she did.
He felt a pull on his soul and… and he….
He kissed her.
His eyes closed as her eyes widened, tears stopping from the action. He just kept his lips pressed against hers, trying to calm her down. Soon enough, she responded. Maka closed her eyes and she pressed her lips against his. She wraps her arms around his neck as he pulls her in from the waist. They kiss until they can't breathe anymore.
Finally, they pull apart, gasping for air.
'Why… why is she crying?'
She ran out the door, tears streaming down her face.

Author's Note: Yeah… sort chapter. Sorry guys! I have to get to my choir recital in and hour, and I have to get ready! I wanted to upload a chapter, so this is it.
*giggles* I like leaving you guys on the edge of your seats.
Okay, if you guys can guess who she goes to, I'll give you a virtual hug, a virtual kiss, and you can tell me something you want me to write. It can be anything, but I will be writing it as a one-shot. It can… It can even be smut. *gulps* So, leave a review, telling me the character! :D See ya.
