I know it's a little late today but yea here's another chapter for Wishes and I hope you enjoy it! I did have a little staring contest with the story as I couldn't think of anything but eventually the story won as I ended up typing more stuff after recollecting what I planned of course. Do check out my other stories like To Trust, Love is Complicated, One Word Prompt (I'll try to get onto this soon. Neglected it), Different (Working on it and not doing so well) and finally Mixed Enemies which is currently on hold as my co-writing friend can't write with me.
Chapter 3 - Staying home
"Be a good girl and stay at home alright?" Soul teased as he changed the towel on her forehead for the last time before leaving for work.
He had been nursed back to health yesterday but apparently the little stunt that he forced her to pull end up spreading the illness to her and now it was her turn to stay home.
"It's all your fault." The ash-blonde meister pouted as she sat up. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in bed right now!"
Giving his meister a stank eye, he glowered at her. "I don't see how I should care." And the door slammed shut.
That damn albino freak. She growled, gnawing her blanket in an unladylike manner as she fumbled her way out of bed with less success as her legs felt jelly-o. She cursed under her breath as she practically crawled to the kitchen to get a glass of water.
"Lord, this sucks." She murmured as she collapsed onto the couch, succumbing into darkness.
At Death's Back Cafe~
"So first it's you and now it's Maka? What have you guys been doing at your own apartment?" Liz quirked her eyebrow as she cocked her head to the side, imagining weird stuff.
"Nothing much," He shrugged nonchalantly as his tan hid the blush that was creeping up his cheeks. If he gave anything away, his friends were sure to bombard him with a million questions that would possibly get him fired by the constant chatter going back and forth.
Liz and Tsubaki talked animatedly about the mini Christmas party that was going to take place in Kid's mansion as they wanted it to be a small one or there was guaranteed to be havoc being wreaked.
Soul sighed internally as he tuned all their voices out, wishing that Maka was here and how they would joke about wearing some random suits to piss Liz off and make Black*Star do a dare that would maybe ruin his ego for life.
He had got to get his mind off his meister didn't he? He thought it was madness that he was constantly thinking about her milky long legs and her moss green eyes 24/7 which made him seem almost perverted. It didn't take long for him to know he was head over heels for her but only if his weidler would notice the attempts of him making a move on her.
It didn't help the fact that the knew that his meister was not the relationship kind of person due to the tragic fallout of that pervy old deathscythe which he had happily overpowered and her mother who travelled around the world and he had yet to meet.
He constantly heard her talking highly of Kami so it did make him curious what was so good about her mom who abandoned her. It creeped him out to no end that her favorite moment of her mom was the point of divorce.
"Earth to Soul!" Liz snapped, bringing him back to reality and from his weird thoughts. "Our break is over."
Back to Maka~
"3 hours have passed already?"She looked at the wall clock in disbelief as she staggered to her feet, feeling better than she had in the morning. She tested if her sense of equilibrium was good before she made her way to the fridge to check for some ingredients for a certain treat she was planning.
"Looks like we are out with most of the ingredients." Maka groaned as she grabbed her purse and jacket, cursing Black*Star for randomly showing up in their house and rummaging through their fridge like he owned the place. He offered to give back the food he consumed but she definitely didn't want a gooey mess of his puke and asked him to keep it down.
Remember to get a huge bolt for the door. She made a mental checklist as she rushed to the supermarket, purposely avoiding the shortcut that led there but it was too close to the cafe and she didn't want to risk people seeing her and the manager would scold for her ditching on purpose.
Quickly strolling down the aisle and grabbing the things she need as she almost memorised the entire place like the back of her hand, she paid for it and went home, excited about trying something new and hopefully it would come out well.
Back to Soul~
"Souly see you tomorrow!" Patty cheered as she left the shop with the rest of the gang only leaving Soul alone due to the fact he asked to work Overtime so that he could attend the party that was happening tomorrow.
He waved at them lazily and got to work, wishing that time would pass faster such that he could go home and see what Maka was doing. (A/N: I suddenly decided to make him a little stalker like xDDD mind me and my theratics.)
"Soul, you may leave." The manager smiled warmly at him after a few hours of tedious work which only mainly consisted of restocking and serving the customers.
"Thanks." Soul muttered, changing out of his uniform and heading back home.
Walking down the streets as he gave a side glance at the shops, he wonder what he should buy since tomorrow was Christmas Eve and if he came empty-handed, Liz or Patty were sure to throw him out of the house or dunk his head in an entire pile of snow that they accumulated in their backyard.
Maybe some gloves will do. He huffed as he went into the store, looking around as the staff smiled a little too brightly that made him roll his eyes. Why couldn't Maka smile to him like that?
"Is that all you want sir." The cashier, smiled as she made a horrid attempt of flirting as she batted her eyelashes a little too rapidly and tucks a loose blonde strand of hair that fell onto her face.
"Yes." He murmured, avoiding her gaze as her roving eyes checked his figure out.
Exiting the store in a fast pace, he felt annoyed at himself sometimes. He knew his red eyes and white hair was weird but this was way too much attention for him wasn't it?
"I'm home." He said quietly as he locked the door and kicked off his shoes, only to find Maka passed out on the couch. He smiled at how cute and innocent she looked before heading to the fridge, only to find her neat handwriting on a piece of paper.
Do not eat the cake that is in the fridge or you are asking for some serious punishment from me. Soul shivered at that thought of feeling the book being wrenched in his skull and how much those eighteen words could sound so threatening when it didn't even come out from her mouth.
Gulping down some milk, he hefted his meister up bridal style, grunting a little as Maka may looked the most lanky amongst all the girls but she surely wasn't the lightest feather in the pack.
Feeling that she's been carried, she cracked her eyes open a little and tried hard to focus on her albino weapon that was carrying her but she didn't do so well as she was really exhausted from all the decorating and baking of the cake.
"Sleep tight Angel-chan." He chuckled softly as his lips brushed onto her forehead and with that finality, Maka finally drifted into slumber, knowing she would never be able to forget that nickname that he conjured up for her.
