"Maka, you look funny today."

"Shut the hell up, Black Star."

Soul places his arm around Maka's waist reassuringly.

"Black Star, it's because her hair isn't in her pigtails."

"Oh, I guess that makes sense, Tsubaki. But why is your hair down, Maka?"

"I just felt like keeping it down today!"

"You sound a little too defensive about that."

"Why are you asking such weird question?!"

"Because they need to be asked."

Soul growls slightly. "Black Star, fuck off."

Black Stars eyes widen a little. "So, that's what it is isn't it?" He quickly reaches over the table and flick Maka's hair over her shoulder, before she can react, revealing a large purple, almost black, mark.

Maka's hand shoots up, but not before everyone at the table has a chance to see it.

"Well, you guys have been together awhile…but I didn't ever expect Maka to let anyone give her a hickey."

"Maka-!"

"Shi-"

"Chop!"
