WOOO It's the next chapter!

Point out grammar and stuff to me if you can ;3

Chapter 2 - The said day has arrived!

Part 2: Maka and Soul.

At Maka and Soul's apartment.

Soul sat in the kitchen, staring at the secret cupboard that concealed the large cake.

Hm… how should I present it? Soul thought.

Maybe I should like, wrap it in a package. Or reveal it slowly.

What would Maka think?

Soul tried to picture her beaming and squealing and hugging him or a girl thing. But all he could think of was her Maka Chop bruising his head for the hundredth time.

Or maybe she would blush quietly and look away and not eat it.

That would suck. I don't like chocolate.

Oh well.

He took a look at the cake one more time, and then decided that he would go and start his little plan.

Soul gently placed it on the round dining table and then walked into the living room, where Maka was currently watching a nature program. Her pigtails were messy and she was wearing some loose clothes – Shinigami-sama had declared Valentines Day a holiday, which is why she didn't bother dressing into her uniform.

"Ahem." Soul cleared his throat loudly.

"Oh, hi Soul. What's up?"

"Uh…"

Wait.

Does she know what Valentines Day is?

Wait a second. She has to know. She's the smartest in the class!

Maybe I should ask her first. Like, just incase.

"Ahem." he nervously cleared his throat again.

Ahem what?" Maka said crossly. I'm trying to watch a show.

"Have you heard of Valentines Day?"

Silence.

"Like, do you know what it is?" he asked again.

Silence.

Oh great, she's going to start blushing and stuff.

Wait no she isn't… What?

"Uh… I think I know it." Maka paused, looking through the information files in her head. "It's the day where you share stuff with each other and confess about troubles?"

Wait a minute… That's… that's wrong! Oh my gosh it's wrong!

She doesn't know?

How does she not know!?

"Maka. For my whole life, I have never corrected you. But today will be the first, and possibly last, day in my life where I tell you that you just answered my question incorrectly."

"What?" Maka looked astonished. "But I thought… Oh well then. If I'm wrong, then what is it?"

"Well first off, Valentines Day is today. So if you want to know, take a look around you."

"But it's so nice here at home." Maka grumbled.

"Well-"

"SOUL I NEED HELP!" Black*Star burst through the door and grabbed Soul's shoulders.

"MAKA CHOP!" Another famous Maka chop from Maka dented Black*Star's head.

"But wait… Tsubaki is in trouble." Black*Star said weakly.

"What happened?" Soul asked.

"I don't know… I gave her my Valentines present." Soul grinned.

"You did it!" He thumped Black*Star on the back.

"Ow… Anyway. So I gave her my present-"

"What was the present?" Maka interrupted.

"I uh… kissed her?" Black*Star replied. Soul burst out laughing.

"Oh, that's excellent." He wiped tears from his eyes.

Oh now what? I can't impress Maka with just a chocolate cake!

Argh… But she'd kill me if I tried the same thing as Black*Star…Maka isn't Tsubaki!

"Anyway, I need your help! She's frozen in time now! Does kissing have any side effects?"

"No… probably not. She'll come back to life soon." Maka said cheerfully.

"Are you sure?" Black*Star looked worried. Maka smiled.

"I'm sure." Black*Star smiled hopefully.

"That's good then… I put her in bed so I guess she'll be okay."

Aww… How cute. Maka thought.

If only… Whatever.

"Hey Soul, wanna hang out with me in Deathbucks?" Black*Star asked.

"Sure!" And off they went.

Maka was left in the apartment, and she was getting hungry. She heard her stomach grumble.

"I wonder… did we buy groceries yesterday?"

And so, she went into the kitchen.

There, waiting to be eaten, was a funny looking cake.

It was slightly lopsided, which was probably why some of the icing from the top had slowly slid down and was created a sloppy looking pile. But other than that, the cake looked pretty good.

She walked up to the cake, and saw her name on it:

Happy Valentines Day Maka! For being an awesome meister.

"Aw… Is this from Soul?" Maka blushed. "It looks… cute."

Should I eat it now? Or wait for Soul later so we can eat it together?

I still don't know what Valentines Day is… Maybe I should search it up.

So Maka went on her laptop and searched up 'Valentines Day'.

"Hm… Valentines day is when people show feelings of love, affection, and friendship."

"So…" Maka stared at the cake.

"Soul wants to show love, affection, and friendship through a cake."

"That's actually very uh… nice."

Maka's belly once again reminded her that it was very, very hungry. So, she took out a knife and fork, and started to eat the cake.

So Soul like… loves me? That's really… wow.

This cake… It tastes really, really-

"Maka?" Soul entered the kitchen.

"MnmumftL?" she looked up and saw Soul's startled face.

WAIT A MINUTE. Soul thought. THAT'S MY CAKE.

Does she get it?

Is it embarrassing? This feels really awkward.

"Sho… Whanht a phieche?"

"Uh... Finished your piece first." Soul mumbled. Maka glared and stuffed the piece of cake down her throat, then downed the food with a glass of water.

"I read about Valentines Day." Maka said after she had finished her piece of cake.

"Oh, ok." Soul stared at the ceiling. "So now you know what it is, right?"

"I love the cake, it's great and all, but showing love and affection through cake isn't going to make me shocked or something – if that's what you're aiming for."

"Well what am I supposed to do to make you smile?" Soul snapped. "I did try to make you that cake, it took a lot of effort!" Maka glared at him.

Why is he being so mean? It was just criticism. She thought.

Gosh, if he wants to do something like surprise me he could have put in more effort. Doesn't he know what I like?

"Well Soul, I KNOW it took a lot of effort, but the least you could've did was, oh I don't know, hugged me or something." she blurted out. Soul stared. Maka stared.

"Hug? You want me to hug you? Fine!" Soul got up and enveloped Maka into the most crushing hug she had ever experienced. It was even scarier than Blairs.

"Uh yeah…" Maka squeaked. "Something along those lines."

"Something along those lines? I'm not doing well enough? Fine!" Soul pulled her head towards his and kissed her feverishly.

"Mehmsumblem!" she turned a bright , bright red. Soul let her go.

"Are you happy now?" Soul was also blushing furiously.

There was silence between the two.

"So uh…" Maka broke the silence. "Was that a confession?"

"More or less."

"Sorry for criticizing your cake."

"That's ok. Sorry for uh…y'know."

"That's fine."

"I didn't ask for your permission though."

"Neither did Black*Star when he kissed Tsubaki."

"Well you're not Tsubaki."

Silence.

More silence.

Soul cut out a piece of cake.

"Hey Maka."

"Yeah?" Maka looked up and saw Soul holding a spoonful of yummy chocolate cake.

"Open up."

AMG Soul feeding Maka...

Hope you like it, read and review?

Maka: This is so weird.
