Wow… I can't believe I've been gone for so long! I sincerely apologize for this! I didn't mean to do that, but I've been trying to work on graduating from High School, and I've finally become a graduate! So now I don't have to be dealing with annoying teachers who make you do unreasonable things. I'll tell you about that later! Anyway, I don't own Soul Eater! By the way, this past weekend, I met Todd Haberkorn, the english voice actor for Death the Kid! He was so nice, and he signed my writing note book! Yay! Well, onto the story!
After Soul and Maka finished lunch, Soul drove them home. Maka walked in, and she was hit with the smell of fresh cleaning products. She went to the fridge, where her list of things to clean was, and saw that all of them were checked off. She looked at Soul.
"Did you clean the whole apartment..?" Maka asked, a little touched. Soul shrugged sheepishly.
"I thought… y'know… it'd make you happy…"
Maka smiled. "Of course it makes me happy. I'm touched that you would think of something like that."
"I can be thoughtful when I want to be…" Soul said with a hint of embarrassment. Maka giggled and made her way to her room. She plopped down on her bed and took her phone out of her pocket. She had a new text message from Kid.
'So, how'd it go?'
Maka smiled. 'Good. Everything's fine now. No worries.' She sent it and within minutes anouther message came.
'That's good. I hope nothing like that happens again.'
Maka sent her thanks to him and lay back on her bed. But why did she get so upset when she caught Soul and that girl? She had caught her dad like that so many times before. But when it came to her father, she was numb. With Soul, though, it was different. It honestly didn't take long to realize that she was most likely in love with him. That would probably make the most sense… Maybe she had always been in love with him… She shut her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Maka woke up and looked at her clock. It was around six in the evening. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. She walked out her room and found a note on the kitchn table.
'Went out to get something to eat. Didn't want to wake you. If you need anything, just call me. I'll be back soon.'
As soon as Maka put the note down, She heard keys in the door. Soul waked in with a large pizza box in hand.
"Oh, you're awake." Soul said. "I picked up a pizza for dinner. I didn't think you'd want to cook tonight, so…"
"What kind is it?" Maka asked with a yawn.
"Half pepperoni, and half supreme. Just like always. Unless you want something else…?"
Maka shook her head. "No, this is fine. It feels likee forever since I've had pizza."
"So, do you wanna eat now? Hot pizza is the best pizza." Soul said. Maka smiled and nodded. She got two plates out and handed on to Soul, who had already dug into the supreme side of the pizza.
"Impatient as ever…" Maka sighed. She handed Soul a napkin to wipe his face.
"Hey. I think I'm pretty patient with some things." Soul said, taking another bite of his pizza. He watched Maka pick out a piece of pepperoni and put it on her plate.
"Things like what?" Maka said before taking a bite of pizza.
"You wouldn't be interested…" Soul said before moving to the couch and turning on the TV. Maka sat down beside him.
"Of course I would." Maka said, putting her plate on the coffee table in front of the couch.
"Really?" Soul said. Maka nodded. Soul smirked and turned back to the TV.
"I'll tell you later." He said as he took anouther bit of his pizza. Maka huffed and took her plate back.
"Fine. Whatever…"
Soul snuck a look at Maka. Even when she was just eating pizza, she looked beautiful. Love could do stupid things to you. He wanted to kiss her so badly, it was a physical ache. Maka turned to him and caught him looking at her.
"Is there something on my face?" She asked, a little embarrassed. Soul did catch a bit of tomato sause under he bottom lip. He put his plate down, and wiped it away, but kept hold of Maka's chin.
"Do you really wanna know what I've been most patient with?" Soul asked quietly. Maka kepter her eyes on his, and nodded.
"The one thing that I've been most patient with… is you." And with that, Soul leaned down, and captured her lips. He was surprised when he felt Maka wrap her arms around his neck, making the kess deeper.
Soul pulled apart just inches away from Maka's fave. "I was planning to do that in a much classier atmosphere." He said with a smirk. Maka gave an embarrassed smile.
"That's not your style… And I might not've kissed you back if you did…"
Soul chuckled. "That would've been very embarrassing… Not cool at all…"
Maka smiled before Soul leaned in to kiss her again. She returned the kiss happily. It only lasted for a moment before the door was knocked on loudly.
"Maka, darling!"
Maka jumped and Soul sighed. "Can't we just ignore him?"
"He would just bust the door down." Maka said, unhinding her arms from aound Soul's neck. She was surprised when Soul didn't let go of her waist, why he had taken hold of durning the kiss.
"Soul, you have to let me go." Maka said, squirming in his arms. He just tightned his grip.
"I don't HAVE to do anything." Soul smirked. "And I don't want to let you go, either."
Maka looked around for a book, but couldn't find one. So she put her hands together, intertwining her fingers, and brought them down hard on Soul's head. He only loosened his grip slightly. She slipped out of his arms and went to the door.
"That didn't hurt as much as the books do…" Soul said, a smirk evident in his voice.
"Yeah, well, don't get used to it." Maka replied before opening the door. Spirit stood there with a stupid grin on his face.
"What's up, Papa? And why was it so important that you had to drive out here?" Maka asked after closing the door behind her.
"Well, I just wanted to say that your furniture will come in on Monday."
"And you couldn't call me…?" Maka asked.
"Well, I tried!" Spirit whined. "But you wouldn't pick up!" Maka took out her phone and saw four missed calls, all before six.
"I must've been asleep…"
"Huh…?" Spirit said. "You haven't taken naps since you were five, and I missed it! I should have been there to watch your cute sleeping face!" He yelled.
"Too bad for you." Soul said from the other side of the door. "I see all kinds of her facial expressions. My favorites are the ones full of pleasure…"
Maka turned completely red as Soul chuckled from the other side. Spirit clasped his daughter's shoulders.
"He's lying, right! Tell me he's lying!"
"He's lying, Papa." Maka assured. Spirit sighed with relief.
"Thank God…" Spirit said. Maka removed her father's hands from her shoulders.
"Don't you have somewhere to be?" Maka asked.
"Oh, yeah!" Spirit said. "I was on my way to club Chupa Cabra's! They have a new escoret starting tonight!"
"Maka rolled her eyes. "I really didn't need to know that, Papa…"
"I'm sorry honey… I'll just go…" Spirit said with embarrassment. Maka leaned on the door and watched her father go to his car.
She went back inside, only to be blocked by Soul, who was smirking wildly.
"Now, where were we?" Soul said, leaning down to recapture Maka's lips. She put her finger up to stop him.
"First, a question." Maka smiled.
Soul wrapped his arms around Maka's waist and drew her close, nuzzling her neck. "Yes?"
"Why do you always do that to my dad?" Maka asked. "Y'know, tell him stuff like we have sex all the time?"
"I guess… It's just my way of getting back at your dad for treating you the way he did."
Maka smiled. "You could've just told me whay you were doing. It could've saved you brain damage."
"But it wouldn't have been as fun." Soul smirked before kissing Maka deeply.
So, that was chapter 8! I hope you liked it! Oh, and that teacher I was talking about… He was a creative writing teacher (an elective teacher- The class had no effect on my GPA at all), and out of nowhere, without telling us at all, he assigned us to do a major research paper with 100 notecards, and outline, a rough draft, and a final draft in two weeks. I was pissed and wrote him a letter about it, and he was pretty much like, 'whatever, don't care what you have to say, you're still doing it.' Needless to say, I was pissed! Anyway, hope you liked it, and sorry for the long absense! I deeply apologize!
