Chapter 7 has arrived! I am very happy with how the readers of this story like it so much! I really appreciate it. This is my first Soul Eater story and I am very happy with it! So keep on keeping on! I love you all. Please know that I don't own any of this!
All throughout the night, Maka's phone was ringing. She finally just cut off her phone altogether. A couple of hours wouldn't hurt him.
After Maka thought that everyone was asleep, she pulled her phone out and turned it on. And just as she turned it back on, Soul started calling her. She sighed and answered it.
"Give me one good reason why I should hear anything you have to say." Maka said quietly but harshly.
"Because I'm the stupidest, most idiotic person on the planet! And I would be so grateful if you would just listen to me! So, please just give me a chance!" Soul replied. Maka sighed again.
"Fine. But I don't want to talk to you tonight." Maka replied.
"Then can I at least take you to lunch tomorrow?" Soul asked. "Anywhere you want."
Maka paused for a minute. "Okay. I'll give you two hours to explain yourself tomorrow. Let's see if you can convince me."
"Okay. I will convince you." Soul said with what Maka assumed was a smirk.
Maka rolled her eyes and snapped her phone shut. He could be so annoying sometimes. She looked at her phone again and sighed. This was ridiculous…
"You couldn't sleep either?"
Maka jumped before she looked beside herself. Kid gave her a slight smile.
"Are you hungry?" Kid asked. "We can have ourselves a midnight snack. What do you say?"
Maka nodded and followed Kid to the kitchen. He got a tub of ice cream out and took out two bowls and an ice cream scoop. Maka took it from him.
"Mind if I scoop?" Maka smiled. "No offense, but it might take all night if you do it."
Kid nodded as Maka scooped out the vanilla ice cream. She put two circular scoops in Kid's bowl and tried to make it as symmetrical as she could. She did the same with her bowl, and closed the ice cream tub back.
"Here you go." Maka smiled, handing Kid the ice cream scoop and the tub of vanilla ice cream. Kid took them, and pulled out two spoons. The two then relocated to the living room.
"So," Kid started. "What are you going to do tomorrow?"
Maka sighed. "Soul and he was gonna pick me up and take me to lunch so he can explain himself." She replied. "But I don't wanna talk about me. I wanna talk about you."
"Me?"
Maka nodded. "Yeah, you. We never talk about you. Do you like anyone?"
Kid smiled softly and nodded. Maka bumped him and smiled. "That's great! I bet she doesn't go to out school. You seem to like the type to date a mature college girl."
"No, she goes to our school. But that's all I'll tell you." Kid said. "Unfortunately, I have the feeling she's more fond of another guy."
"Aw…" Maka replied. "That's too bad. Would you ever tell her?"
Kid paused for a moment. "I don't think I have found the right time or words to tell her."
"Well," Maka said after eating a spoonful of ice cream, "she's missing out on one hell of a guy, I can tell you that."
"I don't know about that…" Kid said with a blush. Maka smiled and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. He turned even redder.
"Well, I do. You'd make someone a great boyfriend. I'll even admit, when we were younger, I used to have a little crush on you."
"Really?" Kid smiled softly. Maka nodded.
"Anyways, don't worry. You'll find someone, even with that OCD of yours. And no matter what happens, I'll always be there for you." Maka smiled. Kid felt a warm feeling in his stomach. Maybe she was right. Maybe he was trying to rush himself with her. Maybe he just needed to pace himself. The only question was, did he have the time to pace himself?
"I guess… I should just be patient…" Kid smiled. Maka nodded. Then she looked at her ice cream.
"It melted…"
Kid looked at his too. "Mine melted as well… Let's just pour it down the drain."
Maka nodded and after they did so, they went to bed.
The next morning, Maka woke up to see that no one was in the room with her. Also, there was a burning smell.
Maka came downstairs and found Liz and Kid frantically running around the kitchen, while Patty was laughing hysterically.
"What's going on?"
"Liz and Patty wanted to make you breakfast, but it turned into a mess." Kid replied. Maka just giggled.
"You don't have to do that. But thank you very much." Maka smiled with a smile. "I appreciate it."
In the end, Maka made them breakfast. For the rest of the day Maka hung out with Liz, Patty, and Kid. It was definitely a change of pace, but it was a good one. Before she knew it, it was noon. Soul came about thirty minutes later.
Kid called Maka, and she took her time coming down the stairs. She looked at Kid and gave him a hug.
"Thanks for everything." Maka smiled. Kid just nodded. She turned to Soul.
"Well, let's get going." Maka said icily. "If you recall, you're on the clock." She walked past him and gave him the cold shoulder. Kid just smirked.
"Have fun in Antarctica." Soul sighed before the door was closed in his face.
"So, uh, where do you wanna go?" Soul asked, walking up to Maka.
"As long as it has an outdoor eating area, I don't care." Maka replied. Soul nodded and got on his bike to start it up. Maka reluctantly swung her leg over the bike and they drove off.
The drive was very silent. Maka didn't want to talk to Soul, and Soul was too busy getting his thoughts together to make it to the restaurant. Soul became the perfect gentleman, even going so far as to pull Maka's chair out for her. A waiter got to them quickly and the ordered their drinks. They were quiet until their drinks came, and when they placed the order for their lunch, and the waiter left for the second time, Soul cleared his throat.
"Okay, Maka." Soul said. "I'm just gonna cut to the chase: I'm so incredibly, ridiculously sorry for what happened. But I give you my word that it wasn't my fault! I would never, ever think of doing that to you, not even in a hundred million years." Soul said. He watched as Maka simply took a sip of her drink, then looked at him.
"Go on."
Soul gave a relieved sigh, happy that she decided to his side of the story.
"Okay," Soul sighed. "last night you said that you'd be home around 7:30, so that was the time I was expecting you. At around 7:35, someone knocked on the door. I thought it was you. That maybe you forgot your keys, or that you had bought something and take it with you." He said looking straight at her moss green eyes. Never had he wanted to prove something so much in his life. Maka looked back into Soul's blood red eyes, and nodded, telling him to go on.
"Do you remember at Prom, when I told you about my ex? The one that only thought about sex?" Soul asked, pausing for Maka to answer. She nodded, and he continued.
"She found out about you and got jealous. She had been stalking us for a while, I'm guessing. And when she was sure you weren't home, she attacked. She took advantage of me, Maka."
Maka just looked at him. Before she could reply, their food was delivered. She waited patiently while the waiter finished putting the plates in front of them.
"Soul," Maka said after the waiter was gone. "I am going to tell you this one time, so listen very, VERY closely."
Soul nodded, preparing himself.
"If I EVER catch you in that situation again, I'm leaving. No questions, no explanations. I'll find my own apartment, and I promise I will be moved out in 24 hours. No more second chances. I'm so tired of handing those out on a silver platter." Maka said before taking a bite of her lunch.
Soul smiled widely. "Thank you so much Maka! You are the coolest girl ever. And it'll never happen again."
"Oh," Maka said, "and one more thing. The next time you see that slut, tell her I'm not an A-cup. I'm a C-cup."
You guys…. I really liked how that Maka and Kid scene worked out! It made me smile as I wrote it! I hope you enjoy it too! And now I kinda wanna change the ending. I'm gonna go ahead, and make and Alternate ending! But since you don't know how the regular ending is, you will just have to see what happens, okay? Bu it's fine. Please Read and Review!
