So, this is chapter 7~! Lucky chapter 7~! I'm trying to make this chapter as good as I can, to make up for the horrible thing that happened to Maka in the chapter before. So, this is my disclaimer. I don't own~! BTW, the book Maka was reading last chapter was One Day. Good job to talkstoangels77 for getting it right!


That night, Soul took Maka to his room. She didn't want to be alone, and he completely understood. She cuddled close to him, trying to hold her tears back, but it wasn't really working. Soul just held her close to him, placing feather kisses on the top of her head. This was she was planning when she was thinking of her night with Soul. She just tried to cuddle closer to Soul, trying to will away what happened at the club.

Soul woke up and saw Maka sleeping soundly against his body. Whenever he imagined waking up beside Maka, he was expecting to find her lying next to him with the glow that came with the first time with a new person. Not scared, and violated. He gave Maka a kiss on her head, and got up to go to the kitchen.

The clock read 9:30, and usually at this time, Maka was already at work. It was only a matter of time until Tsubaki called either him or Maka. As if on cue, his phone, which he left in his jacket, started ringing.

"Soul, I hate to bother you." Tsubaki's voice came. "But I can't reach Maka, and she's usually here by now. Do you know where she is?"

Soul sighed. "She's still here. She's sleeping. We…" Soul stopped, wondering if he should go too far into the problem. But Tsubaki was trustworthy, and wouldn't do anything irrational, unlike all their other friends. "We had a run-in with Noah last night. And… and he tried to … rape Maka…" Soul growled out the last two words. It got him completely heated all over again.

"OH MY GOSH!" Tsubaki cried. "IS SHE OKAY!"

"She's fine. At least physically she is. He didn't get very far until I caught him." Soul sighed. "But it might be a while until she actually comes to work."

Tsubaki was silent for a minute. "I'm closing the store, and I'm on my way over there, okay?" She said.

"Okay. I'll see you when you get here." Soul said before hanging up. He started making a simple breakfast of eggs, bacon, and toast. He put the meal on a tray, and took it to his room in hopes to wake Maka up.

Maka opened her eyes, and found Soul holding a tray full of food. She sat up and gave him a puzzled look. "What's this?"

"What does it look like?" Soul asked with a smile. "It's breakfast."

Maka looked at the clock, and almost jumped out of the bed. "Why didn't you wake me up, Soul! I'm late!"

Soul put the tray on the bed, and pushed Maka back down to the bed. "It's fine. Tsubaki closed the shop and she's on her way to visit you."

Maka calmed down and relaxed into the bed. "She is…?" She asked. Soul nodded.

"Did… did you tell anyone else?" Maka asked quietly.

"No. I would never." Soul said. "Now eat. You must be hungry."

Maka shook her head, and looked at Soul. "Why are you being so nice to me? I mean-"

Soul placed his hand on Maka's cheek. "Because I care about you. I would never, ever just leave you in any kind of bad situation. I worry about you constantly, for some bizarre reason, and I can never get you out of my mind."

Maka blushed. She had never heard him speak such tender words to anyone before, not even his girlfriends. She stayed silent as he continued.

"Do you know the real reason I made you move in with me?" Soul asked.

"Because you wanted me here to do all your dirty work." Maka said with false contempt. Soul chuckled.

"Close, but no cigar. I moved you here because you living at your house when Gopher and Noah were still on the loose scared the hell out of me. I couldn't sleep at night, knowing you were at your house by yourself."

Maka felt a tear slide down her face. She didn't even know that she had started crying. "Really?"

Soul wiped the tear away and nodded. "I couldn't stand the fact that you were away from me for so long. And I honestly, truly…" Soul faded off. What was he saying? Did he really want to tell her right now? Was right now the best time to tell her his feelings? He honestly couldn't keep it in much longer. It was just eating him alive.

"You truly what Soul?" Maka asked. This was starting to scare her. She honestly didn't know what to expect.

"I think…" Soul said slowly. "that I'm in love with you, Maka. I can never stop thinking about you. And whenever you're with anyone else, I get jealous. It's you I had always imagined myself with. That was probably the reason behind the no dating rule. I just can't stand you with anyone else. And I'm so happy when it's just me and you. Like there's no one else in the world."

"But, why me?" Maka pressed. "I mean, I'm just Maka, the nerd you met in high school. When I first saw you, you were dating the most popular girl in school, AND cheating on her in the same token."

"Yeah, don't remind me…"

"The point," Maka started, "is that you could have any other girl."

"But I don't want just any girl, Maka." Soul said. "I want you."

"Soul-" Maka started. But she didn't know where she was going. She couldn't deny him a response. And what was even more undeniable was that she felt the same way. Maybe it was time to say something. She turned her gaze to her hands, and Soul sighed.

"I guess I should just leave you be." Soul said. "I'll tell Tsubaki to come back to your room when she gets here." Before he could even get up from the bed, his face was being pulled towards Maka's into a kiss. He didn't know how to react, and that was a first for him. But he covered quickly and slipped his tongue into her mouth. They sat there kissing for a long minute, and when they broke apart, they were breathing heavy and looking at each other with flushed faces.

Soul leaned forward and put his lips on Maka's again, leaning her back onto the bed. He started to unbutton her shorts, but looked at her quickly.

"Is this okay…?" He asked carefully. Maka looked at him, and nodded.

"I'm fine."

He smirked and continued to kiss her again. As soon as he started again, his phone started ringing. It was Tsubaki. He sighed and got off of Maka. Taking the tray, he went to the kitchen so that he could talk to her. "Hey, Tsubaki. What's up?"

"I was just about to close up shop, when a bunch of tourists came in. Tell Maka I'm so sorry, and I'll be there as soon as I can, okay?"

Soul smirked. "It's okay. I'm taking care of her. Take as long as you need."

"Thank you, Soul." Tsubaki said. "I have to go now."

Soul hung up and turned his phone off and made sure the door was locked. He couldn't have any more interruptions, now could he? He went back to his room, and found Maka still waiting for him, the blush not leaving her face. He slowly walked back over to her.

"Do you still want to do this?"

Maka smiled and beckoned him over to her. Soul smirked and sauntered over to Maka on the bed. He picked up from exactly where they left off. Soul gently pushed her back down on the bed and started kissing her passionately, letting his tongue roam in her mouth, mixing with hers. He reached down and unzipped her shorts, revealing some black lace panties. He threw them off of her to a place in the room, and took off his own shirt, and tossed it aside. He leaned back down and started kissing down her neck softly, earning little moans from Maka as he made his way down her neck to her collarbone.

It felt too right, Maka thought. That she was finally doing this. She closed her eyes, and felt him remove her shirt. And then she felt him latch on to her left breast while he massaged the right one. This made her moan loudly making Soul get harder. She started rubbing her hot body against Soul's.

Soul moved away from her breast and kissed down her breast bone, down to her stomach. He sat up and looked at her. Her eyes were closed, and her hair was splayed all over the pillow under her head and she was breathing heavy. Her nipples were like little mountains, perked up and waiting for Soul to continue what he had started. She slowly opened her eyes and gave him a seductive look.

"Why did you stop…?" She asked innocently. Soul gave her a smirk.

"I'm sorry. I was just taking your beauty in. You look so hot right now." He leaned down and recaptured her lips. Maka started undoing Soul's pants and, but he took hold of her hands and kissed them.

"Not yet." Soul smirked. He saw Maka started to pout, but he kissed her again. Maka opened her mouth to let him in again. He started to massage her breasts again making her start to moan again. He let one of his hands roam down to her panties and let his hand roam underneath. She was starting to get wet, and that turned him on immensely. He moved his finger to her entrance and started to move it back and forth. She arched her back so that he could go in farther, and bring her closer to her orgasm.

Soul gave a smirk. "Do you like that angel?" Maka gasped and nodded her head vigorously.

"I didn't know you were such a dirty angel…" He said as he pushed his finger in farther, which made her moan loudly. Soul smirked again. "Do you know how tight you are…?"

Maka's breathing started to get faster, and Soul slipped another finger in, making her go up another octave. She moved on his finger, trying to get him to go faster. Soul started to move his fingers back and forth slowly, but that wasn't enough for Maka.

"Faster…" She moaned. Soul smirked, and moved his fluid drenched finger faster. Her breath was starting to get faster, and he took this as a sign that she was about to orgasm. As soon as she felt she was near her climax, he stopped. She quickly opened her eyes, and found Soul sticking both of the fingers that were just inside her in his mouth. She felt herself starting to heat up more.

"Is it time yet…?" She whispered desperately. Soul chuckled.

"I think it's about time." He said as he started to undo the jeans he had slept in the night before, and threw them off to another corner of the room. Then he started to remove Maka's panties. He chuckled a little as he peeled them off. They were soaked.

"You're saying that little old me made you react this much?" Soul teased. "I'm flattered." He said, tossing the underwear to the side. He took another look at Maka, thoroughly impressed by what he saw. She was so hot, spread out in front of him, like a feast just waiting to be eaten. Her breath was getting faster with anticipation, and her heart was beating like a drum against her ribcage.

Soul removed his boxers and in a matter of moments, he impaled Maka with his member. She let out a loud scream of pleasure, which Soul misunderstood.

"Are you okay?"

Maka took a sharp gasp and nodded. "Let me get used to it first." She said. After a moment, her body was stretched enough to accommodate Soul's manhood, and she gave him a smile.

"You can go…" Maka whispered. Soul nodded, and started at a slow pace. He watched as Maka's face got flushed more and more with each thrust. She let out a moan or gasps with each thrust, causing Soul to go faster.

"Almost… there…" Soul grunted as he sped up his pace even more. Maka had gotten louder with her moans of pleasure.

"Keep going…!" Maka cried. Soul complied, and sped up his pace just a bit more before he erupted inside her. Maka screamed at her climax, and Soul gave a loud moan. After he climaxed, he collapsed next to her on the bed. Both of them were breathing heavily. Maka looked at Soul, who was smirking right back at her.

"That was awesome…" Soul said. Maka snuggled into Soul's side and smiled.

"Wanna know a secret…?" Maka asked innocently.

"Sure." Soul said, wrapping his arm around Maka's bare waist.

"I've been waiting for that for a while." Maka giggled. Soul's smirk grew even more.

"So, do you think what Black Star said is going to happen?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" Maka asked.

"Do you think that we are going to have sex everywhere in the house now?" Soul pressed. Maka shrugged.

"Maybe. I mean, we could always have a go at it later…" Maka said with a little smirk of her own. Soul turned to her and capture her lips again. This time, instead of the kiss being filled with lust and desire, it was filled with love and purity. Maka felt her lips tingle from the kiss. This was the spark, she guessed, that all the female protagonists had felt in her books. She had always thought that it was something people made up to make the book sell better. But now… Now she knew that wasn't the case.

"Did you feel that?" Soul asked.

"What?"

"The spark? Did you feel it?"

Maka smiled and nodded. "I was just thinking about it." Soul smiled, (actually smiled, not smirked) and closed his eyes, pulling Maka closer to him. The two of them drifted off into a peaceful slumber.

A couple hours later, they were woken up by a loud banging at the door. Soul struggled to stay asleep, but of course, it didn't work. He looked beside him, to find Maka still naked and still sleeping beside him. So, they had actually done it. Good to know that it wasn't a dream. He gently shook her awake, and she sat up, rubbing her eyes.

"What time is it…?" She asked sleepily. Soul looked at the clock.

"Noon. Now put some clothes on, we have company."

Maka widened her eyes. "You let them in the house!"

"No. There's someone at the door. Put your clothes on so I can answer the door." Soul said as he sat up and went to grab his jeans to put them on. He found his button up shirt, and threw Maka her shorts, which she caught swiftly. She made sure to keep her back to him as she dressed. She looked around for her shirt, and put it on as soon as she found it. She turned around and found Soul staring at her.

"What?" Maka asked.

"You just look pretty." Soul said. "And I like watching you dress."

Maka's face contorted a little. "You're weird…"

Soul crossed the room over to her and wrapped his arms around her. "I just love your body, that's all. I always have."

"I thought for sure you liked the girls with the big boobs. That's all you ever seemed to go for."

Soul smirked. "Yeah, but that was before I really met you, silly angel."

Maka smiled and broke from the barrier Soul had created and went to the door. She stretched and then looked though the peep hole. It was Tsubaki, and she was so happy! She needed someone to dish to!

As soon as Maka opened the door, she was attacked by Tsubaki. She was looked over and hugged as her friend sobbed and cried.

"Are you okay, Maka! What did he do to you!" Tsubaki asked terrified. Maka gave a small smile, trying to push back the memory of that… monster… touching her, and trying to replace it with Soul's touch.

"I'm fine. It's okay. I'm probably not going to see him for a while. Soul beat his face to a bloody pulp so he's pretty much screwed for a while."

"That's so good to hear!" Tsubaki said, still wiping her tears away. "Are you willing to go out for lunch or something?"

"Um… yeah." Maka smiled. Then she looked down at her clothes. "But I have to take a shower and change first. I just got up."

… Which wasn't a complete lie…

"Okay, that's fine. I can wait out here."

Maka gave a smile and rushed to her room to pick out an outfit and the next thing Tsubaki and Soul heard was the bathroom door slamming shut.

"So… what did you mean by 'you were taking care of her'?" Tsubaki asked. Soul sat on the couch and turned the TV on.

"What do you think I meant?" Soul asked smugly.

"I think something happened between you two. I just don't know what…"

"You're her best girlfriend, right?" Soul asked, to which Tsubaki nodded. "Then just be patient. You'll find out within the next couple of hours."

Maka came out of the bathroom in about fifteen minutes, smiled at Tsubaki, and bid Soul a farewell, before the two girls walked out the apartment.

"Perceptive little thing, huh?" Soul muttered to himself.

Tsubaki took Maka to the food court in the mall and bought them both lunch. She put the food in front of Maka, who was staring off into space with a dreamy look about her. Tsubaki smiled and ate a bit of her food.

"So, what happened between you two?" Tsubaki asked knowingly.

Maka blushed. "How do you know something happened…?"

"Because you're not panicked. You're not riled up about the incident. Knowing you, at this point, you would be trying to find a lawyer to sue the pants off of the whole company. But you're not. You're just sitting here with a dreamy look on your face, and a little blush. So what happened?"

"Oh… Well, he told me he loved me…" Maka whispered. Tsubaki smiled.

"It's about time. How did you respond?"

"I kissed him… And then… we did… other things…"

Tsubaki's face turned red. "You two made love!" Maka's blush grew.

"Shh! Let the whole mall know, why don't you!" Maka said harshly. Tsubaki quickly covered her mouth and felt how hot her face was.

"Oh my gosh… I can't believe you just told me that!" Tsubaki squealed. "I knew it would happen, I just knew it! I mean, he would tell you, not that you would make love! But still, this is a pretty big deal!"

Maka nodded with a smile. "And you know when you kiss someone, and you feel the sparks? We both felt that. I didn't even know that could actually happen… but it did…" She said dreamily.

Tsubaki smiled sadly. "That's only happened for me once… But of course, he wouldn't realize it…"

Maka knew who she was talking about. Black Star was always who she was talking about. She teased her about it, but she knew deep down that Tsubaki would always be in love with Black Star. He was her one and only. And she had a feeling Black Star felt a little something for her. He was always nice to her, and always listened to her. And whenever they got drunk, it was always those two that ended up making out, and almost having sex.

"You really love him, don't you?" Maka asked.

Tsubaki smiled sadly again. "I don't know why… He couldn't feel the same…"

"Do you know that for sure?" Maka asked. "I mean, he's dense but you've liked him since senior year. He couldn't just be ignoring it because he's stupid. He might be ignoring it because he doesn't know how to deal with it. He's used to seeing a girl once, sleeping with them, and never seeing them again. But he sees you all the time, and he doesn't know how to deal with it…"

"But…"

"Just ask him. I want you to ask him by the time I come back from New York. That will probably be a month from now. And when I come back, that's going to be the first thing I ask you, okay?"

Tsubaki opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't. "Fine…"

Maka smiled and drank some of her drink.


I told you there would be a lemony scene soon. It was to make up for the almost rape scene last chapter. Actually, no, I just wanted those two to happen consecutively. It was always going to be like that. So, yeah. I just wanted to make Maka have an experience that only Soul could help her with. In his own special way. So, please review. Lots of Love~!
