Me: -laughs evilly-
Soul: What's with the evil laugh?
Maka: Yeah its kinda creepy.
Me: I just found the perfect song that describes the two of you.
Soul: …..what?
Maka: Ok. Out with it. What's this said song?
Me: "Hero/Heroine" by Boys like Girls.
Soul: Never heard of it.
Maka: Neither have I.
Black Star: Oh I have and I completely agree. Hahahaha not even I could have done a better job picking it out.
Me: Why thank you Black Star. Would you like to do the honors?
Black Star: You mean taking the stage from you. Sure. No problem. NOW LISTEN MORTALS AS I GIVE YOU MY AMAZING SPEECH! S0uleaterevans does not own Soul Eater or the song this story is based off of.
Me: You heard the big man.
Maka: Uh ok. So R&R or I will take your soul.
Soul's pov
How did I let this happen? So not cool.
When did this happen? I could have sworn I kept my guard up at all times.
I was my own man.
But somehow. I have fallen for my meister.
But I cant let her know.
I cant ever let her know.
And I don't even know why.
So I keep my hands in my pockets and my head in the clouds.
So that when I'm thinking about her. It only seems as if I'm staring off into space.
And that became my usual stance. So I adopted the lazy, laid back look.
But why cant I tell her?
Oh right. Because of that….
"Hey Earth to Soul. I kinda need you to focus. This kishin is tougher than it looks."
Oh yeah. Forgot. The kishin. Man I gotta stop daydreaming. Not cool at all Soul.
"Right sorry Maka. Sorta got lost in my thoughts there." I said playing the cool, laid back card.
"Yeah I noticed. Look I know something's troubling you Soul but we can discuss it after the mission. So let's get this over with." she said in all seriousness.
"Uh….yeah sure." how the hell does she do that?
I never thought she could break me apart like that. And that easily too.
But that matter will have to wait. We have a kishin soul to collect.
And so we charged.
I the hero.
And she the heroine.
I keep my sinister smile on my face to mask my troubled thoughts.
But that never stopped her.
I kept a whole in my heart. A whole that was once filled by pride and honor.
But she pressed on.
"Soul. What's wrong. You've been really quiet lately." she gave me that worried look that made me want to hug her every time I saw it.
"Nothing Maka I'm fine honestly." I said tearing my gaze from her eyes.
"You cant lie to me Soul. I know when you do." she said matter of fact like.
Damn that woman. You want in that badly?
Who was I kidding. She was already in. slowly she has been filling that hole, replacing the pride and honor I treasured with love and lust.
She's really caught me off guard.
My heart is screaming in protest of the feelings that were welling up inside me.
I suppose there is no getting around it.
But it's not like I gotta get all philosophical on her.
I just looked in her eyes and took a deep breath.
I held my hand out to her.
"Take it." I told her with a stern look.
She seemed hesitant. But took it none the less.
"Soul Resonance." I whispered.
And the link was made.
I poured all my feelings, my troubles, and secrets into her.
"This is how I feel Maka." I said to her.
Her eyes widened.
Yeah it's surreal I know. But you wanted this. You wanted in.
I showed her my closest filled with ghost of my past and their skeletons.
It mostly consisted of thoughts of my family. How I had left them to run away from they're disappointment and my brother's success. The success that I could never reach.
But that didn't scare her away.
I honestly cant fathom why she tries so hard to understand.
But I wont lie. It feels great to share this burden. To share these feelings with a soul so innocent and kind.
In reality. I thought of her as my heroine.
To me her love was the sweetest sin. And I wanted it.
"Soul…." she said as I broke the connection.
"Do you see know Maka? Do you see now why I am the way I am? Why being cool is so important to me?" I asked her with a serious expression.
"And why I've fallen for you?" I added that last one with a bit of strain.
"Yes Soul. I understand. And I'm happy you decided to share this with me."
And without warning I felt her lips press against mine.
I felt a weakness coming on.
She completely broke through my defenses.
I was struggling.
I was staggering.
And I was wrong.
I was wrong to hide this from her to begin with.
I was wrong to keep my heart on lock down.
And it never felt so good to be wrong.
Maka had completely turned me around.
She broke the kiss and gave me that perfect smile.
The same smile that made me feel like a new born child.
She broke me.
To be fair I was jaded for holding this in for so long. It was only a matter of time.
I smiled.
"Heh. You know how to get to me Maka. You always have."
"Well it's not hard to do when you're a girl."
I flashed me my signature grin.
"This isn't cool. My heroine is a small petite bookworm, but I could care less right now."
"And my hero is a lazy, laid back, cool guy." she said teasingly.
"The coolest." I added.
"Yeah whatever."
And those words echoed in my head.
"I feel like a hero, and you are my heroine."
It never felt so cool to be uncool.
**Me: Man I got goosebumps just writing this.
Soul: Man….that scared me almost as much as Crona's poem.
Me: Because it's true?
Soul: …..
Me: What do you think Maka?
Maka: …
Me: Black Star?
Black Star: HAHAHAHA you hit the nail right on the head! Just look at how speechless and red they are.
Soul: SHUT UP BLACK STAR!
Maka: Maaaaaakaaaaaaa CHOP!
Me: I guess that answers my question.
Soul: Poor bastard.
Me: Indeed. Anyways if some of the readers ever get confused with my stories I encourage them to both listen to the song and read the lyrics. You'll get it.
Soul: All in all another cool chapter.
Me: Send me out with a bang guys.
Maka and Soul: R&R or we'll take your soul!
