DICLAIMER: I DO NOT own Soul Eater in anyway shape or form.
Chapter 7
It was the Monday. Soul hadn't seen Maka since the kiss. She was out with Tsubaki all day Sunday. Leaving before Soul got up and getting back while Soul was out with Kidd and Black Star. She was already asleep when Soul got home. Now he and Maka were walking side by side up the stairs to the school. Soul noticed she kept sneaking glances at him when she thought he wasn't looking. He wanted to ask about the kiss, but he didn't have the courage to bring it up. 'Come on you chicken shit! Ask her!' he scolded himself.
Maka looked over at Soul for probably the tenth time on their walk to school. This time though, she noticed he looked as though he was deep in thought. She gave him a confused look before speaking. "You okay Soul?" she asked him.
Soul was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard her speak. He looked to his meister and smiled his usual smirk. "Yeah everything is fine. Just thinking about something," Soul said in response as he looked up to the sky.
Maka gave him another confused look before smiling happily. "Whatcha thinking about?" she asked him happily and genuinely curious.
'Shit. What do I say?' Soul asked himself. "Da. Um. Just about when our next mission will be. It's been awhile since we've been out on one," He said hoping she'd buy it. 'Maybe I should've told her the truth.'
"Oh. Okay. Yeah me too. It had been awhile," Maka says slightly skeptical, not completely buying what he said. Maka was about to speak again until she heard her name being called. She turned around to see Justin jogging in their direction.
"Hey Maka," he said when he finally reached the two.
As he looked over to Soul, Soul noticed the death glare Justin gave him. 'The fuck is his problem?' Soul thought to himself fighting back his urge to say it out loud.
"So. Maka. How about you and me do something tonight?" Justin asked her with hopefulness in his voice.
Maka smiled a smile that Soul could tell wasn't completely genuine. "Yeah sure. Come over to the apartment around five tonight."
"Great. Sounds like a plan," Justin said smiling. "Want to walk to class with me?"
"Sure," Maka answered still smiling. As the two walked away hand in hand, Maka looked back giving Soul an apologetic smile.
Soul let out another sigh shoving his hands into his pockets. "Fucking great," Soul said out loud to no one in particular. Soul then just continued to walk to class all on his own.
XxxxxxX
Soul and Maka just got back home from class. When they got inside, Soul went to his room to slip into some clothes to relax in. He threw on his orange and white baseball tee shirt and a pair of sports shorts. When he came back out he saw his meister sitting on the couch with her nose stuffed in a book. He then leaned against the wall. 'Typical Maka,' he thought with a laugh and a smile.
Maka heard his laugh so she turned around and saw him standing there leaning against the wall. "What's so funny?" Maka asked him.
"You," he said laughing again.
Maka puffed out her cheeks in frustration as she glared at him. "What do you mean by that?" she asked.
He let out another laugh as he looked at her and smiled. "Well you always have your face buried in a book. Even after all the shit we've been through and all the changes in the past few years, that's the one thing that's never changed about you."
Maka blushed slightly at his observation. "And you're still trying to be cool," she said with a giggle.
"Not trying. Succeeding at being cool," he said with a laugh.
"Believe what you wanna believe Soul," Maka said laughing as she went back to reading.
Soul let out a chuckle as he walked towards the couch. "You're so uncool sometimes." he then sat down next to her on the couch and grabbed the tv remote. He turned the tv on and began to watch some sort of sitcom about an oddball family. They sat in silence for a few minutes until Soul decided to work up the courage to ask her about the kiss. "So, Maka. Why'd you kiss me on Saturday?" he asked muting the tv and looking directly at the girl in question.
Maka put her book down and looked over to Soul briefly before looking down. "I don't know. I guess it was just an in the moment sort of thing," she said knowingly lying to herself. She wanted to kiss him. And she saw that as the perfect time.
Soul felt his heart sink as he looked back down. "Oh. I see," he said sounding relatively depressed.
When Maka heard the depressed sound of his voice she felt her heart sink as well. She let out a sigh. "I'm sorry Soul. It was a stupid thing to do."
"No, no. It's fine. It's partially my fault for kissing back," he said as he stood up. "If you need me, I'll be in my room." As he was about to go back to his room he heard a knock on the door. "I'll get it," he says changing his direction to the door. As he opened the door he saw Justin standing there. As soon as Justin saw Soul, his smile became a scowl. "Is Maka here?" he asked with some anger in his voice.
Soul was offended by his tone of voice. "Yeah, but first can I talk to you out in the hallway?" Reluctantly, Justin agreed and the two entered the hallway outside of the apartment. Soul then crossed his arms before speaking. "What the fuck is your problem with me?" Soul asked with venom in his voice.
Justin then grabbed Soul by the shirt and pulled him over to the stairwell. He then pushed Soul backwards into the railing. Still holding his shirt, Justin pushed Soul more so that his feet left the ground and if Justin let go he would fall. "My problem? My problem is you! You arrogant little fuck. Kissing my girl!" he yelled at Soul.
Soul looked down behind him and could see the floor of lobby a few stories down. He looked back to Justin then said "She kissed me first!"
"Oh yeah? But you kissed back," Justin said as he leaned Soul back a bit more. "You kissed my girl!"
"Your girl? Maka isn't an item you can buy off a shelf," Soul spat back.
"Well she's dating me asshole. Therefore she's my girl," he said back to Soul as he pulled him off the railing pushed him to the floor. "Now if you tell her about anything that happened just now, next time you're going over that railing."
"Possessive prick," Soul mumbled as he got back to his feet. He then opened the door to his and Maka's apartment and walked inside. Make looked over to him and asked what was wrong but he already closed his bedroom door with a slam.
Maka looked over to see Justin standing in the doorway. "What happened out there to piss him off so bad?" Maka asked Justin.
"I don't know. He just has a short temper I guess," Justin said with a shrug.
"Okay," Maka said skeptically as she left the apartment with Justin. She looked back to Soul's room before she closed the door.
XxxxxxX
To say Soul was pissed would be an understatement. It had been over an hour since they left and and he was still fuming. Soul walked over to his wall and punched it as hard as he could. He calmed down a bit when he noticed his hand broke through the wall. He pulled his hand out of the hole and looked at it. "Fucking great. Maka's gonna be pissed about that," Soul said with a sigh as he walked over to his bed. He laid down on his bed and just stared at the ceiling. Soul closed his eyes and became lost in thought. 'I need to blow off some steam,' he thought as he pulled out his phone and called Black Star.
"Whats up Soul?" Black Star said through the phone.
"I need to blow off some steam. Can you call Kidd and meet me at the basketball court?" Soul asked as he sat up.
"Yeah sure. We'll be there in fifteen dude," he said back.
"Thanks man," Soul said as he hung the phone up. He then got up grabbed his shoes and left the apartment.
