Chapter Four
So, we went on a walk. She talked to me about the exams coming up, how Black*Star is really getting on her nerves with his surpassing god nonsense, and how we only have 37 kishin souls to collect. We were kinda on a holiday; death decided we needed a break. I soaked in every word she said,as I always do, trying to learn about her more. Forget the school exams, SHE is like an exam herself. If I answer a question wrong, it will either end up with a sad looking girl with hurt feelings,or a Maka chop... Ow...
We finally stopped walking at a hill, which dove down into a valley of flowers, the sun setting on the horizon. 'No no no no no no no no I'm not good with romantic places no no no no...' My brain went into overdrive as she sank to the grass next to me, beckoning me to sit with her. I obeyed. She stared out over the field, the sun gently caressing her face with its warm rays of light in such a way it made my heart pound. The sun looked at me with a devious smile. It did that on purpose... I glared at it, then it slowly turned its back so it looked like a normal sun. ' thank god... It always creeps me out when that thing stares at me...' " it's so beautiful here," I started at the sound of her voice, almost forgetting she was there. Luckily, she still wasn't looking at me, so I kept calm. I stared at her instead.
" yeah... Beautiful..." I sighed. She turned her head to look at me. My cheeks went red. I saw my wide eyed reflection in her eyes. " the sunset! I mean the sunset! I mean... What else would I mean that's what we were talking about and the flowers and the sky and the grass and the... The uh... Uh... Yea..." I averted my eyes, realizing my face was probably beet red. I looked down at my slightly trembling hands. 'STUPID!MORON! Now she is looking at you weird you didn't keep your cool make shy Soul go away!' But he wouldn't go away, so I sat there staring at my hands some more, my blush making no signs of fading. What makes it worse was out of the corner of eye I saw Maka staring at me curiously. Suddenly, felt her hand give a gentle shove on my shoulder. " well duh what else would you mean besides the sunset?! you're so silly!" She smiled at me, but shy Soul still only peeked at her through the corner of his am I kidding?! MY eye... I AM shy Soul, no matter how much I hate it...
" yea I was just... Uh... Clarifying what I... Uh... Meant..." My stupid voice cracked at 'meant'. She pretended not to notice.
