Just a short drabble of slight fluff about something that was in the back of my mind for a while now. It's more in my college AU than the canon story. Also, I may be continuing my village AU (honestly I didn't even think of The Village when I first wrote it, but everyone else did so I kinda just accepted it), but it will be going in a different direction, same concept though. I just need to outline it, but for now enjoy my little fluff drabble. Also, I do not own Soul Eater.

Birthday Present

Maka lead Soul down the stairs of their apartment building so she could show him the birthday present she had bought. Soul had a blindfold tied around his eyes that Maka had placed because she didn't want to spoil the surprise when they went to where it was located. Maka had been saving the money for about half a year now and had bought the present the day before, making her even more excited to give it to him. When they were finally downstairs, for some ungodly reason they were stuck with an apartment on the 7th floor of their building, Maka stood Soul in the perfect viewing spot, bouncing up and down because the moment she had been waiting for about a day now was about to happen.

"Happy birthday!"

"Hmmmm….it feels like we're outside. I knew you were kinky, but I'm not sure how I feel about having sex right out in public like this. What if we get caught?" Soul told her.

"Wait, what does that have to – oh oops!" Maka jumped a little when she saw the reason for why he had said. She had forgotten to remove his blindfold. When Soul was finally able to see his present, he stood there dumbfounded. Sitting in the parking spot that was designated for them, stood his present. Maka had bought him a new bike to replace his previous one after he had been in an accident that left it totaled. This new bike looked almost exactly like his last one, same gaudy design and obnoxious orange, it was the perfect present. Soul felt the warm beginnings of the familiar happiness and love he felt when he was around Maka in a more intimate setting starting in the pit of his stomach.

"Do you like it?" Soul looked over at his girlfriend who was standing next to him about ready to burst with happiness. She must have been planning this for months, or she was just being typical Maka and was overexcited because of a birthday present she knew was extremely thoughtful on her part. It was most likely a mixture of both.

"It's a cool present." Soul stuffed his hands in his pocket and stood in a nonchalant position.

Maka's smile changed into a pout at his reaction. "Why do you always have to act like the cool guy? It wouldn't hurt you to get at least a little excited." She said crossing her arms and turning away from Soul.

Soul gave a small smile to her back before stepping forward to wrap her in a tight hug. "Thank you. I love it and I love you." He whispered in her ear and gave her a peck on the cheek.

She turned herself around in his arms to return his hug, giving him one of her dazzling smiles that made his stomach do backflips. "I love you, too. I'm glad you like it. Just be careful this time. I don't want a repeat of the accident."

"It wasn't even my fault."

"It doesn't matter. I want you to be careful on the road, okay? I don't want to lose you." She placed her cheek on his chest and could hear his heart beating rapidly. Maka had thought by now he would have his heart rate under control, but she was glad it still hadn't changed from the first time they were this close to each other.

They stood in the same position for a while longer until Soul broke the silence. "We should go back inside or the birthday dinner you made is going to burn and we'll have to order take out, again."

"I almost forgot I was making you dinner!" Maka released herself from the hug, grabbing Soul's hand so they could go back upstairs to their apartment. When they got to the 3rd floor, he leaned over her to grab the blindfold that was still in her other hand.

"Can we use this tonight when we have my birthday sex?"

"Who said we were going to be doing that?"

"We always have some kind of special sex on each other's birthday." Soul gave her his best seductive grin, hoping maybe that'll win her over if she had actually planned not to have sex tonight. Which he doubted because she was a sex maniac. He had finally role-played her damn fantasy of the sexy librarian and rowdy school boy who wouldn't shut up so she had to punish him for her birthday this year. It was the most embarrassing thing he had done when having sex with her, even if it did happen to be one of their better sex escapades.

"That blindfold was only so I could actually surprise you with the bike. I have other plans for tonight's activities." She reciprocated his seductive grin as they went up the 5th floor's flight of stairs. Sure enough, the activities she had planned were far better than what he could have imagined. She had gave in to trying a few new positions that were in the Kama Sutra book somebody had bought on their last bookstore run. It had definitely turned out to be one of Soul's favorite birthday celebrations that they had so far.
