YAY! A chapter I like! I'm proud of myself. :D Oh yeah, I don't own Soul Eater.
Soul shoved the foxish boy to the ground. Lord Death stood before them, his head tilted in confusion as he had no face to convey emotion with. "Hi. Hi?" He reached a white hand to the boy, hearing Soul growl at the clearly all to kind offer. "What's going on?" 'Faust' just looked at him before looking at the group standing behind him, "I slipped up. They know. Everyone knows." He wouldn't look at the insanely tall thing before him, just knelled on the ground, waiting for his punishment. 'Faust' knew it was going to happen and happen sometime soon. But why now? Why when he had finally fit in?
Tensing as he felt the handing coming toward him, he was shocked when he received a pat. "Might as well tell them what's going on, yes?" The small group of formally clad teenagers tilted their head, what? 'Faust' took a deep breath before starting his long tale. The group didn't speak, even the overly excited ninja was quite. This was getting interesting.
"My mother was a witch. A fox witch to be exact. She fell in love with a Halfling, my father. See, his mom was a fox witch as well. So yes, I am a quarter human and 3/4ths witch. Seeing as how males usually don't inherit magic. Since that one KIND of magic runs so deeply on both sides of my family, I got some small portion of magic. I can turn into a fox or a human but my human form is very hard for me to hold, ya know since I'm not all that human." He paused and took another breath, this was a bit tiring for him.
"So anyways, when the coven found out about me, they had a holy fit. See, a male with magic is a very good thing, the only problem is I didn't show any signs of swaying." 'Faust' growled suddenly, "So, they killed my mother. They said if she was going to have a Halfling child, it had better function correctly, and I didn't. So, I came here to avenge her. Oh yeah, my name is Todd. Faust is a bastardized version of my last name."
Ada whispered something to Mickey about him saying the bastard word and stifling a giggle. She looked to her tech, feeling something off with her wavelength. Kiyre looked mad. Really, really mad. "Liar." She choked out before baring her teeth at Todd. "You lied to me. Everything we had was built on a lie." Her voice was soft as Ada perched next to her, patting her softly. With a huff, the blonde tech turned and left, leaving before they could see her tears.
Kiyre flopped down on her bed, rubbing her reddened eyes. "Stupid." She sniffled, "Liar." Rubbing her head in her pillow, she started to sob more. Not because he was a witch or whatever he was, not because he had scared her, not because her boyfriend had lied to her, but because he hadn't trusted her enough. She waded through her thoughts, trying to figure out what had happened. Then it dawned on her. He didn't know her that well and she didn't know him. They acted like two love struck puppies because that's what had happened. It was just puppy love. She growled, how ironic.
She could hear the door ease open then shut again, footsteps approaching her room. The soft rapt of knuckles on her door made her jump even though she had been expecting it. "Go away." The grumble was barely audible through the pillow. It was only reasonable she didn't want to be messed with in a time like this. The last month had drained her mentally and emotionally and she decided it was about time for her to let it out.
Ada sighed, knowing she could nothing but listen to the soft cries of her partner. "Maybe we can talk tomorrow." She shuffled off to her room where Kid was waiting for her. And no, they weren't going to do anything. She was fixing the buttons on his jacket, apparently one had fallen off and it was killing him.
Soul growled as he shrugged off his formal wear. He hated dressing like he did back then. He wanted to leave it all behind. He heard his door creak open and he turned to see Maka's very red face staring at him. He tilted his head and chuckled softly, "What? Am I too sexy for you?" Stupid move. The book came down on his head with a sickening crack. "I just wanted to know if you wanted to finish our dance." He nodded slowly, pulling on the loose t-shirt he planned to sleep in.
"Only for you my Master." He bowed and she hit him again. He'd do anything for her but it was fun to tease her and even more fun to make her beg for it. With a sadistic grin, he followed his pajama clad partner into the living. She turned on the same song they had been dancing to before and shifted towards him. They were still a bit awkward with each other at first, trying to find a comfortable distance between their bodies.
Both of them wanted to stand close to the other but when the other got closer, they would ease back a little bit. Somehow though, over the course of the song, the two began to listen to the music and forgot about going to bed anytime soon. One song began and ended and they were just a few inches apart, by the chorus of the next song, they were pressed lightly together.
From around the corner, Blair looked down at the cd she had just put in the player and smiled. "Heart and Soul." The cat rubbed her face, musing about how the man ensured her it would enhance resonating. Apparently he didn't just mean the soul kind.
Somewhere in the back of Soul's mind he made a mental note to teach Maka how to play Heart and Soul. He wasn't sure why, that wasn't even what was playing on the radio. He shrugged it off when he felt her head rest against her shoulder. Red eyes glanced over to see her eyes closed, he realized how tired she looked. He pulled away from her and she looked at him, sad almost, "Let's go to bed. I have to show you something tomorrow."
Black Star nuzzled into her neck, muttering something sweet and very much not like him. She giggled and he paused to look at her. She pressed her lips to his, very much not like her. He couldn't help but smile as she pulled away. "Tsubaki," his voice was oddly soft, and she tilted her head causing him to chuckle, "Don't change. Not for me, not for anyone." His eyes widened when she smiled, it was very devilish, very much not like her. "Who said I had changed?" And with that, she attacked his neck.
Liz gently tucked her sleeping sister in. Liz loved Patti the most when she was asleep. It wasn't because she wasn't being psychotic or because she finally looked like a normal human, it was because once upon a time, Patti didn't sleep well. She was terrified to be asleep, she never let anyone know but Liz knew. The taller gun would lay there at night listening to her sister whimper, wishing to comfort her but knowing she wasn't supposed to know. But now, Patti slept like a log, no longer worrying about anything. And for that Liz was quite grateful.
A slightly taller figure leaned against the door frame, waiting for the girl had worked so hard to come with to finish whatever she was doing. It was dark, he couldn't see. All he knew was that she was doing something important and he didn't want to impose. After all, he had been watching her at school. Admiring her from afar. He knew nothing would happen that night but there were other nights. Always other nights.
Kid fidgeted as she stitched the button back on his sleeve. "There." Ada bounced on her toes before sitting down next to him. "I stitched it eight times, just like you asked." Kid looked over at her, "Why do you hate symmetry?" Ada just looked at him, "Mm, I think it's because of my parents." Kid snorted before ruffling her hair then fixing it back the way it was. "Sorry, I can't help myself." The weapon just laughed and nodded, "I know." As she leaned back on the bed, Kid looked at her, really looked at her. Not just how she looked but who she was. By day she was a spaz but at night she seemed relaxed, then again, it might just be because she's home, in her zone.
"Um, will you," He choked a bit, "Be my, um, girlfriend?" He felt the bed shake, was she laughing at him? "Mkay, sure." The fragment of Death turned to look at the girl. He smiled and she smiled back. With that, he kissed her cheek, "I'll be over tomorrow, Liz is going to slaughter me if I don't get home soon." Ada walked him out and then locked the door. As she passed Kiyre's room she was relieved to find the sound of tears no longer there. So, Ada lay in her bed, trying to figure out how to tell Kiyre. Maybe she wouldn't, not yet.
Kreig slowly opened his partner's door, "Hey?" Softly, gently he prodded for some response but got none. The redish haired tech lay on her bed, reading some random manga, ignoring him. The battle axe sighed, "I'm sorry but I can't promise I won't do it again." He could FEEL her burning a glare into his back but he didn't turn to look at her, he just shivered as he closed the door. They both knew that she would wake up and cook him breakfast and they would chat about some off the wall topic before settling down to either train or study or just be complete idiots. They both knew she would watch him more closely, let him slip away less.
It had happened before. But he lived up to his name and she to hers. He was war. She was peace. He could make her rage and she could calm him. He shook his head, manly men didn't think like that. Then again, how many manly men lived with a girl whose closet consider of normal clothing and a giant faux turtle shell? Or a girl that insisted he dress up like Ash because she was Misty? One day he would understand her, until then he was perfectly content to sit back and try not to be shoved into too many ridiculous outfits.
The yellow eyed canine watched her sleep before slipping off into the darkness. He had caused her enough pain. He would avoid her until she came to him. He would smile at her and hope she returned it. Maybe they would both move on, it's not like he loved her or anything. The fox paused and took one last look at the sleeping girl. Yeah, he didn't love her. They were too young. But maybe one day…
A/N: Tsubaki is a horn dog. And Heart and Soul makes me think of Maka and Soul. Not really sure why though...
