"Mmm… Maka…" A quiet whisper eased the sleeping meister awake. She giggled at the feel of breath that tickled over her ear; relishing the fleeting moments of her already forgotten dream. She stretched, expecting all of her senses to return to reality, expecting the gentle breath to vanish from her ear, expecting to find herself lying in her bed, covers splayed halfway on her carpeted floor; but none of these things happened. She couldn't even stretch. Startled, she froze, trying to asses the situation. There was definitely breathing against her ear (whether it whispered her name or not, she was unsure of), she was definitely not in her bed and there definitely was an arm around her waist.

Upon further inspection, she realized she was in her living room. Soul? She thought, almost disgusted by the thought. No, couldn't be him. Soul wasn't small enough to lay behind her on the couch like this. She strained her memory to the previous night. Liz, Patty and Kidd came over the previous night… Liz and Patty wanted to have a sleepover and they fell asleep… Maka escaped them and went into the living room with… She almost squeaked in realization and looked down to the hand draped across her waist that bore an unmistakable shinigami ring. Her cheeks flushed a brilliant red. They must've fallen asleep while reading! She mentally faced palmed and let out a sigh. How was she going to get out of this one?

As if to worsen the situation, her sigh seemed to have stirred Kidd, causing him to tighten his grip around the blushing scythe meister. Her eyes widened, but then she relaxed just slightly. No one seemed to be up yet and it still seemed rather early…

Was it really all that wrong to say she kind of enjoyed it?


Sorry for the lack of updates here, it's been far too long and I've been really busy with Beyond Help and some other upcoming fics. I know that's not much of an excuss but it's all I've got.

Suggestions (besides longer chapters) are always welcome!
