Hey guys MT here!

I told you I would get it up Monday!

Also, I'm such an enormous nerd! I bought one of those replica wands in the Harry Potter section of Universal, it was AWESOME though.

Anyways, this chapter gets a bit cut off at the end, but that's because I didn't want to keep writing and then rush the ending after getting tired.

I hope you guys like it and ENJOY!

Chapter 7

The next morning…

Maka was awakened by the morning sunlight that entered her room. She groaned and pushed herself up off her bed before glancing at the clock. It was around 10 and she wanted to sleep more but she knew that now that she was awake, she wouldn't be able to fall asleep again anytime soon. She slid out of bed and trudged over to the bathroom to go and brush her teeth to get rid of the nasty taste in her mouth. When she glanced at herself in the mirror, she noticed that her eyes were red and puffy. She remembered what had happened when they got back to the apartment and how she had been crying.

"I'm so stupid…" said Maka to herself. "I should know by now that I'm no good for Soul, so it shouldn't be so painful."

She made her way out of the bathroom and noticed Soul's bedroom door was open. She peaked in and noticed that his room was completely cleaned up, even his bed was made. She was confused by this and began to wander the apartment in search of him. She noticed that there was a blanket and pillow on the couch, meaning Soul hadn't slept in his room last night.

"Dammnit, Soul. You're going to throw out your back one of these days," complained Maka under her breath. She went over to the kitchen, the last place to check, and still didn't find him. She was a bit panicky at this point because (a) Soul never leaves without leaving a note or telling her and (b) he never cleans up his room. She began to pace back and forth around the apartment looking for a note or something that he may have left her to let her know where he had gone and her soul only became more agitated.

"Maybe he went out with Black*Star!" shouted Maka to herself after the thought had popped into her head. She immediately picked up the phone and dialed the obnoxious ninja's number. It rang three times before she heard Tsubaki pick-up.

"Hello?" asked Tsubaki from the other side of the line.

"Tsubaki! Did Soul and Black*Star go out somewhere?" asked Maka, a bit panicky.

"No, they didn't. Black*Star's right here," said Tsubaki, some background noise catching Maka's attention. That sounds like…bed rustling? But Tsubaki doesn't stay in bed until this time…thought Maka to herself.

"Who is it, babe?" asked a familiar voice.

"B-Black*Star?! Why the hell are you calling Tsubaki babe?" asked Maka, frantically. "You know what; I'm coming over there after I find Soul! I need to find this out."

"You better find that dumbass," said Black*Star before hanging up the phone. Maka was a bit shocked. She heard bed rustling, meaning Tsubaki was still in bed, she never sleeps until that time no matter when she went to bed, and Black*Star called her babe.

"HOLY CRAP THEY ARE SLEEPING TOGETHER!" shouted Maka after putting 2 and 2 together. Maka's hype, though, was quickly extinguished when she remembered the issue at hand. She then proceeded to call Kid, Kilik, and even Stein to see if Soul had gone over to anyone's places or talked to Soul that morning. It had now been almost a half an hour since she woke up and she, being the worry-wart that she was, began to seriously panic.

"Oh my gosh! What if he just left? What if he finally agreed to one of those partner requests? What if he abandoned me like my mom? I don't think I could handle losing him," thought Maka in a rush. She slumped down onto the ground, her back pressed to the wall. She clutched her head, holding back tears from thinking about being left by someone she loved for the second time. This time, though, it would hurt a lot more since she loved Soul to a far deeper level than her mother. They were soul mates, partners, she couldn't lose him. After a few minutes of unhealthy thoughts flying through her head she heard the front door open and close, causing her to fling her head in the direction of the door which was directly across from where she was breaking down.

She could see Soul turning around after locking the door and he froze in place when he saw Maka sitting on the floor with puffy eyes. He set the bags he had in hand and ran over to her, falling on the floor next to her.

"Maka! Are you alright?" he shouted as he fell next to her and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Are you hurt? What's wrong?"

Maka remained frozen for a moment before crushing her hand into a fist and throwing it at him. Soul dodged it easily and she threw out a barrage of light punches on his chest.

"You idiot! Where have you been?! I've been so worried!" shouted Maka as she punched him. Soul cocked an eyebrow at her and he reached around to grab her by the wrists.

"I went grocery shopping. We cleaned out the eggs, juice, and ham before we left. I was gonna make breakfast for you. It took longer, though, because my bike ran out of gas on the way," said Soul, calmly. She looked at him, processing his words.

"B-But, you didn't leave a note! You always leave a note," said Maka, the tears slowly stopping.

"I did, I put it on the fridge, assuming you'd go there first to look for food," said Soul with a grin. Maka mentally face palmed herself as that was the only place she hadn't bothered to check. "Why are you crying so much about it? You don't actually think I would leave, would you?"

Maka looked away from him, sheepishly, and the grip of on her wrists tightened, Soul's grin turning into an irritated expression.

"Maka! How could you ever think I would leave you! I am your partner for life and don't think otherwise!" shouted Soul, angrily.

"B-But why...? What's so special about me that could keep you to stay? I mean mama left me so I can't be that special," said Maka, somberly. Soul's grip tightened again and he yanked at her wrists to force her to look him in the eye.

"Maka Albarn," began Soul. Maka was surprised because Soul never uses her last name when he addresses her. "If you say that again I'm gonna tie you down and list off every single damn thing about you that is special. If you think you aren't then I will make sure you do no matter what."

Maka continued to stare into his eyes, inspecting the fierce expression in his crimson eyes. The piercing eyes sent shivers down her spine and they created a small spark in her heart that caused her to perk up a bit.

"W-What about why you stay with me? Is there something in particular that keeps you tied to me?" asked Maka, turning her head away from him but keeping her eyes trained on his. Soul's reaction relaxed a bit and he had a slight blush on his cheeks.

"U-Um…n-nothing in particular, we just mold together really well," said Soul, looking away from her and releasing his grip on her wrists. Maka could feel his wavelength waver a bit, as if struggling with something and she decided to push him to say what he was thinking.

"Soul, I can see your soul and I know you are lying," said Maka, slyly, a small grin gracing her features. Soul groaned, remembering that he couldn't hide anything from the girl who knew exactly how his soul was like when he felt or did anything. "Soul~~"

"W-Well…I mean…anyways, you're probably hungry so I should start breakfast," said Soul, trying very hard to change the subject.

"Soul!" shouted Maka in annoyance, pulling Soul down so that he couldn't escape the question.

"…Dammnit…you're really a pest you know that?" said Soul, with a groan. Maka only grinned in response and nudged him to proceed. "F-Fine…the reason why I stay with you, is well…I guess because I'm…in love with you…"

Soul peeked up at Maka from behind his bangs, his eyes filled with fear at the rejection which could possibly kill their partnership or inhibit their ability to resonate.

Soul began to fidget as Maka took what felt like decades to respond to his confession. He carefully inspected her eyes and could feel her soul going between a flurry of emotions. Their constant subconscious Resonance was so useful when they didn't want to talk, but right now it was just pissing Soul off because he couldn't decipher what reaction she would have.

"I love you, too," said Maka, finally.

"W-Well I should have expected you wouldn't return my feelings but at least I- wait…WHAT?!" shouted Soul in shock, completely expecting the opposite of what she had said.

"D-Don't make me say it again…It's embarrassing having to say it out loud…" said Maka, turning away and blushing, violently. Soul couldn't believe this. The girl he had been in love since they met returned her feelings? What kind of sick thing is that that he had been holding himself back this entire time for no reason.

"How long?" asked Soul, calmly, pushing himself forward with his arms to stare her in the face.

"Um…I guess if I had to really think about it…when we first met, I felt a spark between us and from then on it just kind of grew into how I feel about you now," said Maka, sheepishly. Soul blushed as he thought about how his own love had formed.

"Same for me," said Soul, calmly. Maka turned to look at Soul and he had a soft and loving look in his eyes. He lifted a hand and brushed his fingers along her cheekbone and she loved the warm feeling of his touch. She leaned into his hand when he stopped moving it and they stared into the other's eyes, unsure of how to proceed. Neither of them had had any experience in a relationship of any kind.

The phone interrupted their moment, eliciting sighs of relief as the tension was beginning to build. Maka was the first to get up and picked up the phone. Soul could tell that it was Black*Star as he could hear him screaming through the phone. Maka told him that Soul came home and that they would go over around 3 to talk to them. Maka said goodbye and then hung up the phone.

"So…" began Soul after a few seconds of silence.

"So…" Maka echoed, unsure of what was next. Though she knew what she wanted to happened next. Soul could feel the need for him from Maka's soul over their Resonance. In one quick stride he had her pressed against the wall and his hands were at her waist. Maka was taken by surprise by the act, not thinking Soul would do such a thing. She squeaked when they hit the wall and Soul stared into her in the eyes, just inches from her face. He glanced between her eyes and her lips a few times before closing his eyes and leaning towards her lips. He stopped just before reaching them and Maka could feel his warm breath on her lips. She immediately closed the gap and the two shared a short, chaste kiss.

Soul broke the kiss to look into Maka's eyes and both found lust in the other's eyes. Soul kissed Maka again, this time more passionately than before. They broke again and this time Maka kissed Soul. They continued their onslaught of kisses until it began to get more heated. Now Soul parted his lips and brushed his tongue across her lips, begging entrance, and she complied quickly. At this point, they had entered a battle of tongues, saliva everywhere, and the two began to suck on the other's tongues, eliciting moans from the one being sucked on.

Their moment was once again interrupted, this time to their dismay. Someone knocked on the door, much louder than was necessary, and afterward they heard someone shouting 'Tis I, your god'. Soul groaned before Maka slid away from him to open the door, not wanting to be rude.

I hate Black*Star… thought Soul to himself.


So? What did you guys think?

I finally decided to get them together.

I'm sorry if Maka felt a little OOC during her break down, but I feel like she would actually act like that if she truly felt that Soul was abandoning her. I feel like her mother abandoning her made her a bit unstable, especially when someone she loves might be leaving her again.

Anyways, I hope you guys liked it and please leave a Review to let me know what you think.

Until next time...byeee :D
