I just want to say this right now. Black Star, I love you. I really don't mean to abuse you so much in these! I really don't! You just make it way to easy!

Also, there be a few other couple hints in here, for anyone who ships them. :D

Soul Eater (c) Atsushi Okubo


Shocked

"You have a what?"

Kid sat at the end of the table, looking proud. "You heard me. I have a date this Saturday."

Maka, Tsubaki, and Soul sat there speechless as Black Star spluttered, pointing at Kid, trying and failing to comprehend what the shinigami had just told them. Liz and Patti watched in amusement.

"When the hell did that happen!" Black Star howled.

"None of your business. It happened, and that's all that matters."

"It's true." Liz said. "Kid actually found a girl who can put up with his OCD. I didn't think it'd happen in this lifetime."

"Oooh! It's an actual girl! I thought he figured out how to date the number '8'." Black Star said.

To that, Kid grabbed the back of Black Star's head and smashed it into the assassin's banana split.

"W-Well, what's she like? Your, um, date, I mean." Maka asked as Black Star howled about ice cream getting up his nose and freezing his brain.

Kid's face changed from anger to one of pure happiness as he recalled the girl in question. "She's perfect!" He swooned. "Everything about her is perfectly balanced. Even her name is symmetrical! She's like a goddess on earth!"

"Well that's... good... I think."

"She's so shy about it though! She always wears a little hat that hides her symmetry. I couldn't understand it at first. But whenever I come to see her, she takes it off and..." He stood up, his "I-Can-Has-Symmetry-Plz" face beaming. "I can't believe someone like me was so lucky! I'm not worthy of such perfection!"

"O-Okay, Kid, calm down..." Liz said, trying to push the shinigami back into his chair. Patti just laughed.

"Its good you found someone, Kid!" Tsubaki said, handing Black Star a couple napkins. Maka nodded, beaming.

Soul nodded, pushing what was left of his ice cream away from him. (He couldn't bring himself to finish it, not after watching Black Star blow ice cream out of his nose.) As the scythe watched the shinigami continue to swoon over his 'goddess', he couldn't help but think about all the recent relationship changes they had seen in the past few months.

First Professor Stein had been seen going out shopping with Miss Marie more often (what Miss Marie saw in Stein, Soul didn't want to know).

Then Kim had finally gone out with Ox, if only to shut him up, but they had been on more than one date (incidentally, Ox still had not shut up).

And now Death the Kid could have been on the verge of getting a girlfriend.

So where exactly did that leave him?

"You better hurry up, Soul Eater, or someone will snatch up your pretty little partner."

He groaned. The last thing he needed was the little demon in his brain giving him dating advice.


I love that little brain imp.
