Hey there~! Shout-outs to: SilverCaper, Cherryberry998, Artistic-Resonance, Jacey Wacey 3, RobinReeler, and kaylaanime1492901. As you can see, I've been trying to make my chapters just a wee bit longer than usual. XD So here's the TENTH *squee* chapter of meh story! :D

Maka had left the room to make popcorn and an uneasy silence had fell upon Cyril and Soul. They were having an unannounced staring contest, neither of them daring to look away. You could literally feel the thick layer of awkwardness that clouded the room like a harsh, humid fog, choking the two secretly. Cyril was beginning to feel tense at the thought that Maka might've just left him there to perish at the hands of the tricky albino, but to his luck, she reappeared within mere seconds of that thought and smiled at them both. They turned away so that Maka would be spared of the sight of their brutal glares. If looks could kill...Soul smirked at this thought.

"Getting along?" Maka questioned, sitting down on her bed and crossing her legs underneath her. Soul grunted in response and Cyril just cleared his throat as he watched Soul take a handful of the corn kernels that had been turned inside-out. Maka held the bowl out to him and he took a handful as well. Maka then positioned herself between the two and clicked on the television set across from them.

"Wanna watch a movie?" she asked. "I've got Netflix." Soul nodded and pointed out a few movies that he wanted see as Cyril she shrugged and let him figure it out. They finally settled on a movie that was about a death scythe who had been injured and was near the clutches of death by a kishin. They all watched in silence, and suddenly, Soul had this sudden insane craving for some snuggling. He laid down on the bed and wrapped his arms around Maka, making her lay down too. Cyril just sat and continued to watch, so utterly enraptured in the movie that he was almost drooling. It must have been a pretty swell movie, had it been drool-worthy by the one guy who could never sit still. So that sat, and they watched, and Soul even muttered a few words along the lines of, "I bet Cyril could never make you blush that girl up there." Cyril didn't hear, of course, and Maka thought that Soul was just being a jealous, queer boy. After awhile, though, maka fell asleep in Soul's arms and Cyril fell asleep sprawled across the bed sideways at their feet, sort of like a dog.

When they all woke up in the morning, Maka stretched out and rubbed her eyes, yawning. Her tangled and messy hair was falling out of its pigtails, and to make matters worse, she had two boys over! The boys sat up and yawned as well. Maka shook her head and grabbed a fresh pair of clothes to change into after she showered.

"You guys need a shower?" she asked, hugging the clothes to her chest. Soul nodded and ran a hand through his now greasy hair. Cyril nodded as well, eying the patches of dirt on his leg and desperately trying to scratch them off.

"I'll be back in about fifteen minutes; try not to kill each other, okay?" she said, and she walked over to Soul, dropped her stuff, and gave him a hug. Soul chuckled darkly after she left and laid his head back on the pillow as he kicked his legs up onto Cyril's lap, to which he pushed them off and stood up. He smoothed his wrinkled shirt and fished around in his spacious backpack to find some fresh clothing to change into once he showered.

"So, Cyril," Soul said. Just the sound of his voice saying his name caused Cyril to tense up. "You think my Maka is hot, huh?" Cyril scratched the back of his neck and looked down, keeping his gaze fixated on the floor.

"So?" he responded, trying, but failing, to not sound small and weak. Soul patted Cyril on the back.

"I'm not going to kill you. I just want you to keep your hands off, okay?" he asked, standing up as well. Cyril looked up at him and exhaled loudly, nodding like he had no other choice. Which he didn't. Then Soul noticed that Maka hadn't taken her clothes with her after she had hugged him. But that was just after Maka had come back into her room covered with a towel and biting her lip with furrowed eyebrows. Both Soul's and Cyril's eyes widened as she hurried them out of her room. Then she changed and told them it was same to come in once again.

"Cyril was looking at you!" Soul accused.

"Was not!" Cyril defended.

"Was too!"

"Was not!"

"Was too!"

"Was not!"

"Shut the hell up!" Maka yelled, bringing a dictionary to both of the boy's craniums. They groaned in pain and she held the book in her arms, smirking like Soul did all the time.

"Now one of you go shower," she said, motioning to the bathroom across the hall.

After they had all freshened up, they sat down for breakfast at the kitchen table. Spirit had attempted to make pancakes, but had failed miserably and burnt a hole through his boxers. So Maka was up to cooking breakfast, and she decided that muffins were the only way. They all enjoyed their muffins immensely. After that, it was home time for Cyril and cuddle time for Soul and Maka.

They laid back down on her bed, holding each other and having a serious conversation about why the hell Maka came out in just her towel instead of just calling for her papa or even Soul to bring her her clothes. She shrugged, looking down and blushing slightly. It wasn't like she wanted Cyril to see her in nothing but a towel.

"That towel could have fell!" he complained.

"I was holding it!" she rolled her eyes. He exhaled loudly through his nose as he looked away. maka smacked her lips together to get him to look back at her, but it didn't work...

"I'm sowwy, baby," she said, giving him puppy dog eyes. Soul raised an eyebrow as a smile was just dying to creep upon his lips. So he kissed her. And then everything was all sunshine and rainbows again! Well, not rainbows. Not rainbows. More like...sunshine and chirping birdies. Yeah...that's more like it. Even though her random baby-talk that was unexpected and very out of character was faintly weird, he still thought it was adorable.

That's all, folks! Please, review, follow, or favourite and I'll give you a shout-out! the next chapter is going to be really fun to write...I can tell... :3
