Chapter 3

I shifted into a comfy position on the couch while Soul held out two movies for me to choose from.

"Aw come on, Tsubaki! Just pick already! It's either Zombie City or Battlefield: Tokyo," he said, putting on a pouty face.

"Um, well, I don't really care. Which ever you want," I respond. I don't really want to watch either, but all he had were horror movies.

"Fine. Zombie City it is," the white haired scythe said, popping the disc into the DVD player. He sat himself down on the couch next to me, grabbing the remote and pressing PLAY. The movie was slow at first, Soul was explaining what was happening. Obviously, he had watched this many times before.

"And then, the nurse turns into a zombie, but no one notices at the beginning, until her finger falls off during a surgery," Soul says, even though I'm not listening.

When the action starts, Soul stops talking. He chuckles softly when I scream at the young woman on the screen that her son is a zombie. Naturally, she can't hear me as little Timmy bites her hand off.

When the popcorn runs out, Soul pauses the movie to get some more.

"So, are you okay," he asks.

"Yeah. This movie's not that bad. I mean, zombies aren't my favorite," I say, and he laughs.

"No, I meant are you okay about what happened with you and Black Star. You must feel pretty bad."

Blushing at my foolishness, I respond.

"Actually, I think I'm okay. I think some time apart would do us good,"

"So you're breaking up?"

"WHAT? No! We were never, where did you get that?"

"I don't know. You guys, just seemed," Soul stops, embarrassed, and the microwave dings.

ooo

At 12 o'clock, Soul and I are watching Kill Thy Neighbor. It's supposedly about a man whose wife is cheating on him with the neighbor, sending him off the edge and making him go crazy.

When we get to the scene where the man finds his wife and the neighbor in bed, Soul yawns and puts his arm around me. It's kind of uncomfortable, but yet, it is. When I don't push his hand away, Soul scoots closer to me.

By 12:30, we're snuggling. Soul is actually quite the gentleman. He's not rude, even when I fall asleep for twenty minutes and he's forced to stare at the main menu screen until I woke up. Soon, my eyelids begin to grow heavy again, and it's getting harder and harder to keep them open. Soul notices this, and not happy to repeat the previous dilemma, he talks to me.

It's just about the movie at first, but then he begins to ask me questions. Not really deep questions, just like "Did you have any pets as a kid?" or "What's your favorite restaurant?"

By 1:30, we're both delusional due to lack of sleep, and we are playing 20 Questions. When he guesses my item, which is a pineapple, he pulls me closer and looks me in the eyes. I know he can feel my heart racing, but hopefully he can't see how red my cheeks are. I've never been this close to a boy.

Before I can start the game again, he kisses me. Just a quick one, to make sure I feel the same way.

I smile, and return the kiss.

He cups my face in his hands, and our lips smash together. He smells oddly of peppermint. I twirl my fingers in his spiky white hair, and he's rubbing circles on my back. We kiss like this for a while, and then we stop, both of us out of breath.

"That was perfect," I say, unable to form sentences any longer than that. My head is spinning.

Soul smiles, and I know that we belong together.

"You're perfect."

I blush, and rub my arm. We reassume our previous snuggling position, and I'm taking in everything in this perfect moment.

"So, I suppose we're a couple now," He says after a while. I grin.

"I suppose we are," I say, and lean in for another kiss.

Hey guys! Hope you liked that! If you didn't know already, I have two fan fics I am working on right now. This one, and one for Legend of the Seeker. Since it's a lot to update both at the same time (plus keeping both fan sides happy) I will alternate updates. Next week, I will not be writing, so the next week, I will write for this fan fic. The next week, I'll update the other one.
