Chapter 4 Boyfriend ACT 1
A/N: Ebby ru in!
I don't know if it's me, the story so far may or may not make sense. But when does fiction play the role of legit justifyment? :P
Maka: What Ebby ru is trying to say is please inform us if the audience is having trouble understanding the randomness.
Soul: Ebby ru's now just conscious *smirk*
Ebby ru: Am not! (I am…) Am not! Shut up, inner thoughts! Everyone does!
Kid: I want more glorious role.
Ebby ru: Sure! You've been the nicest so far!
Maka and Soul: WHAT?!
Soul POV:
It's Thursay today. Maka and I are going to go on another kishin soul hunting. "Maka! Let's go to school, already!" I called across the living room, "I'm gonna make you walk, if you don't come out of your room now!"
Maka tripped on the way, but made a quick recovery and latch on to me. "Sorry." She goofily grinned up to me.
"You're strange."
"No it's nothing." She giggled and walked out the door first and sometimes staggering.
That wasn't the only strange things I've noticed about Maka today. She's been laughing at almost everything I've said, even at my most un-funniest jokes – and I knew it wasn't funny. If I didn't know any better, these were the symptoms of a girl in love. No. That can't be. It's Maka. If anything, she could be high on something…?
When we arrived at school we met up with Blackstar and Tsubaki.
"I see my friends have come to see the great star here." Blackstar rambles.
"We go to the same school, idiot." Maka spat. "We have to."
I disagreed, "I have come to see you." A smile etched across my face.
He laughs, "I knew one was honest enough!" He tackled me into a hug. I could tell Maka rolled her eyes, and I just chuckled. The day felt normal when the usual scene replayed. We were like friends back in the quad, just hanging. At least, I thought it was all good so far.
"C'mon, Soul. We have to fulfil our duties."
I released Blackstar and nod. "Right, kishin souls." I followed behind her.
While we were walking, I couldn't help but stare at her free hand swaying back and forth. I felt the urge to grab it. I dwelled on whether or not should I grab it.
Just grab it, you wuss.
I hit my head. "Get lost!"
Maka turned around to me. Her face confused, and with a hint of anger.
"I-I was talking to this – that person!" I pointed to some random. I looked at that person and yelled again, "Get lost!"
"… What did that guy ever do to you?"
"Everything! Everything! Just forget it and go!" I grumbled.
She gave me a look and continued walking. I sighed in frustration, and leaped for the grab anyway.
"Soul." Spirit smacked my hand away from Maka's. "You're not exactly the person I want to see right now." He grinned maliciously; He didn't even hide the fact that he hates me.
"Same here." I growled.
"What're you doing here, Papa?" Maka asked.
Spirit smile was broad, "Ohoho, you haven't forgotten our last conversation already, have you?"
"Are you serious?" Her voice sounded like she was about to start something.
"Young lady, you did the crime, you pay the time." He said. "Besides, it's not me who suggested this idea. Lord Death thinks you're a good influence on Kid and haven't I already inform you that you are expected to be Kid's spouse?"
"I'm 16!" She was shrieking.
"Please, I've been in very good terms with Lord Death." Spirit was beginning to sound serious. "And the least I expect you to do is accompany his son, okay? Once a week, that's that."
"Hey, don't I get a say in this?" I interrupted, my voice husky.
The two glared at me as if I was some insect. "This doesn't concern you." They both said.
I backed away, "I guess not."
Fuck.
What is this shit?
DTK POV:
Back in the Gallows I was doing some finishing touches. I've measured frames to frames, counted any used item so they had a set of even numbers and cleaned any annoying specks. Then I looked up to the blue Chinese vase, not broken. Liz and Patty still haven't come back and that was why everything was so perfect.. However, I do miss their presence sometimes. They were part of my family and now everything seems so lonely in this spacious mansion.
"Doesn't matter."
My home phone ring and I picked it up.
"Death's residence." I answered.
"RAWWRRRRR!" It was Patty.
"Oh! You guys coming back, already?" I felt a smile across my face, hoping they'd say 'yes'.
"RAWWWWRRR!"
"Can I talk to Liz?" I said flatly, now annoyed.
I hear the phone being passed around and finally Liz answered. "Kid! Bad news! We'll have to go back to Death's City!"
I was fighting whether to smile or not. What does Liz mean?
"We're indebt to some fad man and now we're running back!"
"I see." I closed the line and swipe my hand. I knew my brow was twitching. They were going to bring chaos.
The phone ring, again. "Death's residence."
"It's us! Don't just hang up!" Liz was mad. "But we need your help!"
"'Kay. You come back, and we'll have a show down with them." I said.
"I knew you'd come to your senses! Actually, I thought you don't have one."
Huh?
"And by the way, how's Maka?"
The phone began to shuffle, again. "Yeah we wanna know!" Patty leered. "Did you make a move?! Did ya?! Did ya, scum!?"
I flushed, "Maka's fine..." I mumbled, "… And I did more than a 'move'"
"Wooowooowooowoo!" Patty was now making the sound of a siren.
I hanged up, again.
What was happening between me and Maka? Well we're in the process of getting married. I swallowed, 'I wonder what she thinks about all this?' This is making me anxious. My doubts are starting to build up, I can't do this! I began to stalk out to the main door and opened it.
"MAKA?"
"Hi, kid." She waved.
"Were you going to… visit me?" Of course, fool. Why else is she here! I bit my tongue for that.
She nods subtly, "It's because I have to."
Oh dear, this doesn't feel right. "Swell kwa ah gu – " My tongue was still swollen from the bite.
"Pardon?"
"Well I was about to go out…" I scratch my head, trying to hide my red face. Thank goodness I can speak properly, again. "… Let's go grab a cup of coffee or something?" I suggested.
She nods. Just nods.
Maka POV:
I hope that was my imagination of Kid speaking in some foreign language…? 'Cause I can't recognize it. I giggled.
"What is it?" He asked, his voice apparently anxious.
"Nothing." I grinned.
Today was a lot to take in from the morning to now. It started with the dream still in-tack with my head. It was about me and Soul. We were walking to the horizon holding hands like some old couple. It reminded me of what Soul has done for me for the last years. He has been there all by my side all the time and I begin to notice something. I liked Soul. However, my father then comes out of nowhere and is forcing me to spend more time with Kid. He wouldn't stop hassling me until I agreed. Now I'm here. I looked to Kid. I have to get him to my side, and break this "arrangement".
"Maka, how's Wuthering Heights?"
"Huh? Oh, I love it. You?" I asked.
"It's a classical Shakespeare story and the ones that is humorous and romantic – yeah, I guess." He said, "His comedic novels always have a happy ending and everyone who belongs to each other always get married."
"oh, you noticed that too!" I can't believe someone did their research! I'm so happy! "His tragedy stories also always ends in misery!"
"Always!"
"The main character always dies, miserably!" Am I hearing myself? I sound like a geek.
"You've read Macbeth?"
"Ah! Don't say his name! It brings bad luck!"
He puts his hands over his mouth. "What do I do now?"
"Run around a field 5 times!" This was starting to become silly, but it was all fun and games. I was enjoying this. "That'd break the curse!"
"Okay!" He began to run.
"Uhm, wait!" I put my hand up to halt him.
He stopped for me. "Want to run together?"
I smiled shyly, and nod.
– To be Continued –
A/N: RR Read and Review! Actually, now I don't mind if there's any. It's just "support support" and ta give me the push to write more chapters *shrugs* No force. Right now I feel lazy and no one's giving mee the push… C: I don't know when I'll come back to this, again. Haha! (Don't worry, I'll come back at least once a month and update more chapters. Because, currently in my life I'm in the middle of becoming something "professional", which require most of my time).
Soul, Maka and Kid: Don't leave us in the dark!
Soul: You left me in this shit situation! Uncool, man!
Ebby ru: Ebby ru out!
