So... Here comes chapter 8! ( I should think of something else to begin with...)

Last chapter there was a word missing it was :' BORING! '

I do NOT own Soul Eater... (Seriously why would I be on FanFiction if I did?)


Chapter 8: On a bubbly cloud

For a moment I even forgot to breath... which I have to say was painful. I made a half choking sound, like when you come up from under water and I just stared at him. No... He didn't just...! Or did he?

" Um.. Uh.. I uh..." I had no idea what to answer, my mind somehow became blank

I was completely at loss of words, my mind was as empty as it has never been.

One part of me wanted to jump in his arms and another one told me I should stay put. What should I do?! I want to hug him so bad, that it almost hurts... though I don't want to look too needy or anything... HEEEEELP!

I sat there... Unable to answer. My throat felt as if I had a big knot inside of it. We were like this for about five minutes. Me trying to choke an answer out, Soul waiting patiently... though looking everywhere, but me, with the most flustered look ever. ... Then...

He finally looked at me, but just for about three seconds, then turned away and got up. His bangs shadowing his eyes, in a way I was unable to see his entire face and know what happened.

" It's okay... If you... Don't feel the same way..." oh no! He misunderstood!

He started to walk towards to door, leaving me in a dumbfounded silence. When I heard him open the door, my body moved on its own and got their way to the clearly disappointed albino.

" NO!" I ran to him, then felt my body slam against his back

"D-don't go! " I embraced him from behind and I felt his body stiffen

I held him as tight as I could possibly manage, trying to silently drop a clue about my feelings towards him.

" Why... Uh.. Why didn't you answer?" he asked, his voice shaky because of embarrassment or... was he crying?

" Because...because...!"

And of course I couldn't finish my sentence. Great. I was unable to get anything out of my mouth, as if I became mute. I felt sweat drops roll down the side of my head, but I still couldn't manage a single sound out of my throat. I looked like a fish, opening and closing my mouth. I then buried my head in his shirt closing my eyes, trying to gather up the courage.

" Um... You know what? I-if you don't want to, you can answer la-!" he began but I stiffly shook my head against his back

" No. I won't back out. I don't know if I will ever have a chance like this. I NEED to tell you this." I heard him gulp and I finally breathed out

"... I... love you too, Soul." the words slowly dripped out of my mouth, like it wasn't me who was talking

This was the ignition to his movements. He twirled around and grabbed my shoulders. He pulled me closer and stared in my eyes. His mouth hung open and his eyes were wide. His face was flushed and I felt his hands shake on my shoulders. His eyes were wider then mines and now, just so you know, that's a record. His breathing was irregular and he somehow looked like he was going to throw up... I seriously wondered: why? What did I say for him to act like this? ... Did... did he want to have an... an unrequited love, or something?

" Please, Maka! I'm begging you! Maka-Chop me to be sure I'm not dreaming!" he blurted out, almost shaking me back and forth

I giggled. So this is why he was like that!

" Stupid! You're not dreaming! Or you wouldn't feel this."

Without even registering what I was doing, I got on my tiptoes and planted a kiss on Soul's cheek.

His face instantly went from tan to red. And I also felt the heat on my owns.

He reached to his face with his hand, as if to make sure it really happened and looked at me with the exact same expression then earlier... though, now, he had a different reason. He started to mumble something I didn't quiet understood... but it kinda sounded like he was just saying whatever, so I just smiled and kissed his other cheek. Making him even redder.

" I really like you, Soul."

A wide smile grew on his face and... He leaned down to my level and put his hands both side of my head. Then, he softly kissed my cheek. A bubbly feeling invaded my whole body. A feeling that made my toes curl and my heartbeat quicken.

The kiss was soft against my cheek and I could feel the hot breath of Soul in my ear. It tickled a bit and I somehow closed my eyes.

I hope this feeling never goes away.

He then leaned his forehead against mine and smiled at me. One of his attractive, genuine smiles that made my heart flutter. In the semidarkness, his eyes were a gentle and soothing burgundy color and were gazing aimlessly in mines. As if he was mesmerized by what he saw.

It was at this moment that I finally realized how close we were. Soul most have just noticed too, since his eyes widened and his already furious blush just became wilder than it already was.

He somehow came even closer and I already knew what was going to happen. On instinct I tilted my head. One of his hands moved on the back of my head, pulling me closer to him. I slowly closed my eyes and already felt his hot breath against my lips. Then, when we were just about to connect...

A loud BAAAAAANG! resonated the whole room and Nygus came running in.

" SOUL! YOU KNOW HOW late it-!" we jumped apart and Nygus just understood that she came at the worst time possible " Oh, bad timing. My bad." and she turned on her heels and left the room

We just stood there, not daring eye contact.

"Uh... we sh-should probably go too..." we muttered the same time

We turned to the other, then looked away.

...

The day after, I felt refreshed, but not less uneasy. I felt like I was a new person. I felt like I was the happiest girl on Earth... Maybe I was. ... then I remembered our almost kiss, and it made me feel weird inside.

Arriving in my first class I went to see Soul, who now was... Uh... My... boyfriend... Man! This is even embarrassing when I think about it! We talked and laughed together until the bell rang... though the atmosphere between us was kind of strange, my heart still felt light, and, I guess, Soul felt the same way too.

The day passed in a flash and we were already walking home. No. Soul was walking me home. Hand in hand. Like couples.

His hand was so much bigger than mine! I felt like a five year old holding a grown up man's hand!

" Um... Maka I was kinda wondering... Do you want to... Uh... go somewhere one of these days?" Soul asked, scratching the back of his head

I looked up and smiled at him.

" Yeah, let's go somewhere! I'd love to go!" his face seemed to blush and he tightened his grip on my hand

" We could go see a movie..." he said

" Cool! What are we going to see?"

He smiled and we continued our way.

Arriving home, I instantly went in my bedroom, only to be greeted by the one and only: Blair.

" I feel sooooo good!" I shouted, jumping on my bed

" Well... Good for you, sweetie!" shouted Blair, jumping on my bed, beside me, like some kind of teenager

" Soooooo~? Will you guys go on another date? "

" Yeah! Tomorrow we're going to see a movie!"

" Cool! Have fun!"

" Thanks!"

We talked about a few things, then Blair went out and I went to take a shower.

When I came back. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell asleep.

I smiled in my dream. I was dreaming of Soul. Soul holding my hand; Soul hugging me; Soul smiling at me and everything about Soul. I might sound like one of those girly-girls talking about their boyfriends, yet... I. JUST. DON'T. CARE. I'm WAAAAAAY too happy to be bothered by it.

My weeks passed in a big blur, yet I remember every single moment of it. I spent most of my time with Soul. We were going to lots of places and I felt the best I've ever felt. My days were filled with smiles and laughter...

And...

Soul.


I didn't really know what to write about their dates, what they did, since... I'm not sure what couples do...
