A/N Hey guys! Double update! Sorry the chaps are short, but that's the consequence of writers block.

SpoonMeister13x8…. I LOVE YOU! You are awesome! I have officially started the story we talked about when Duffy wasn't paying attention in class! I'm going to put it on here soon! Well I'll see ya' later! =D

To everyone else; thank you for reading/reviewing!

All of you Starkids out there—HAVE YOU HEARD THEY MIGHT BE MAKING A THREEQUEL TO AVPM AND AVPS? O_o

-A very excited Gabi!

-Maka's POV-

Totally shocked, I said nothing.

Silence.

Stronger than most words…

It never seems to come across the way you want it to.

In a way… I was better off saying something stupid and irrelevant.

But nope. I had to stay silent.

Just about the worst thing I could do at this moment.

Soul looks up from the ground.

Our eyes meet, my mouth opens slightly.

Silence.

Say something!

Silence.

Just say anything!

Silence.

Anything at all!

Silence.

But what do I say?

Silence.

Ahhh! What do I say!

Silence.

I'm so confused! What do I do?

Silence.

Nothing else in the air but our breaths.

Silence.

I swallow my fear and decide…

Silence.

To run.

-Soul's POV-

Silence filled the air as I just looked at Maka's eyes.

She had her mouth open as if to say something but nothing came out.

Then all of a sudden she bolts to her room and slams the door shut, all in about three seconds.

The same amount of time it took me to realize that today, I might get an answer from her.

I don't move from my position for a while, my eyes a little wide at her reaction.

That was…interesting.

At least she didn't Maka-Chop me or say that she didn't like me the way I do her….

I sigh and walk to my room to go to bed.

I hold onto that little thought as I fall asleep.

I smile despite the bad things that happened today.

Yep, at least she didn't say that she doesn't like me.

-Maka's POV-

I take a breath and lean up against the door, shaking my head.

Did I seriously just hear what I think I did?

I turn and lock my door, so no unexpected visitors decide to barge into my room.

I hope Soul doesn't take this the wrong way….. I just need time to clear my mind and think.

Yeah, that's what I need to do.

I get changed and jump into bed, pulling the covers up to my chin.

And I think.

I think about the weird way Soul has been acting ever since Wes came to Death City.

I think about what he had said about me and Wes kissing.

I think about his attempts at saying sorry.

I think about all of those times that I found myself thinking about him and getting that feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I think about where Wes comes into this whole situation and where we stand.

I think about that for a long time.

Then just before I fall asleep I think about something that has troubled me for a while.

Do I like him?

A tear falls down my cheek.

Or am I simply smitten with the fact that he likes me?

-The Next Day-

-Soul's POV-

Waking up with a yawn, I hop out of bed and eagerly walk into the kitchen where I'll eat the breakfast Maka's made.

But when I enter the kitchen, no one is there. Then the realization hits me.

All of yesterday's events come rushing back into my head like a dam being broke open.

Suddenly, as I sit down in my usual seat with my head in my hands, my stomach loses its appetite.

I hear a door creak open and soft footsteps coming towards the kitchen. I immediately get up from my seat, twitching with anticipation.

Maka then walks into the room with glassy eyes and in her pajamas. She stops short when she sees me and her eyes widen a little, surprised I was up this early. We just stare at each other for what seems like forever.

Then the phone rings.

I mean, of course it would ring, there seemed to always be an interruption at every important moment in the past twenty-four hours.

We both reach out for it and our hands touch a little, sending a slight shiver down my spine. I recoil my hand and she does the same, but then snatches the phone to answer.

"Hello?" She says, her voice a little scratchy.

"Oh, hey. What's up?" She says clearing her throat.

She pauses and her eyebrows come together in either confusion or thought.

"W-what?"

She pauses again.

"But yesterday… didn't you… how come… why…?"

Another pause.

"Well… I have now made up my mind and we seem to be on the same page… um… yes, I… well… you see I…"

More moments pass by of me staring at her shocked, confused and sad face.

She swallows and clenches her teeth a little before saying, "Well, it has been nice to… hang out with you over these past few days… yes I will tell him… g-goodbye." She hangs up and turns away from me for a moment.

"That was Wes. He said to tell you that he's gone back to wherever your family lives." She whispers over her shoulder. She turns back to me. She looks down at her feet, and starts to ramble off random gibberish as I slowly make my way closer to her.

"S-soul. I think we need to talk about last night. I honestly don't know how you could even like me. But I guess you do, and I really hope it's not some cruel joke or something because a lot's happened and I really don't want to feel any worse than I do right now. I actually feel really crappy right now, I know of all times to feel this crappy and it's now, I didn't even feel this crappy when I was fighting the Kishin and I know I'm just spurting out random stuff but I just wanted to say—"

I grab her waist and pull her close so our faces are centimeters from each other.

And I cut her off by putting my lips to hers.

Finally, I am able to kiss her.
