Disclaimer: I don't own Soul Eater
Soul looked at the window as the sun started to set. It was the end of the first day of break and all he did was stay inside, eat, drink, sleep, and go to the bathroom. Soul got off of the couch and stretched. He looked down at his phone. He picked up his phone and typed down a text.
Hey, wanna go to the courts tomorrow?
Soul waited for a moment before he got a reply. Sure. I'll pick you up. He smiled at Black Star's reply. Soul walked down to his room and threw his phone on his bed. "I need to shower," He muttered to himself before he walked out of his room and into the bathroom.
"They almost kissed?!" Liz screamed in Nathan's ear. Nathan flinched and Liz apologized. "Wait, almost?" He asked Patty.
"Yeah… I uh, sort of interrupted them," Patty said rubbing the back of her neck. Liz's eyes widened at her sister's words and she face-palmed. "Sis, don't act like you wouldn't freak out and interrupt by accident too." Nathan chuckled and Liz grinned, shaking her head. Nathan's phone buzzed.
"Hey, I gotta go, my mom's wondering where I am," Nathan said putting his phone in his pocket. He kissed Liz before walking to the door and driving home. "Hey sis," Patty started getting her sister's attention away from the fashion magazine and on her. "Has Kid even had his first kiss yet?" Liz stared at her sister for a second before slowly closing the magazine and setting it on the coffee table.
"Maka is his first girlfriend because all other girls either rejected him or he rejected them," Liz said. "He really likes Maka. No, he hasn't kissed anyone before."
"Is that's why he's so serious about Maka?" Patty asked. Liz nodded.
"So what time should I pick you up?"
"Ah, what about six? We could have dinner before like when we were in middle school,"
"Cool, I'll pick you up then," Black Star hung up the phone and sighed. He felt the person beside him shift so that their head rested on his shoulder. He lifted his arm and wrapped it around Tsubaki.
"You and Soul are going to talk." Tsubaki stated closing her eyes. Black Star nodded his head. "Don't physically hurt him. Despite what he did to Maka, the two may still be friends, whether Maka denies it or not." Black Star looked at Tsubaki with a confused look on his face.
"Maka and Kid may be going out, and Soul may have beaten her, but I've seen the way Soul looks at her; when she's alone, with Kid, or with friends. He misses her. When she danced with him at the Halloween ball he looked really happy. I know that ever since Maka moved out of Soul's apartment and into Kid's house that her and Kid have bonded; but I also think that she has grown to accept what happened. Maka is an accepting and forgiving person, so I think that she may have just accepted it.
"That doesn't mean that she still has feelings for Soul, I know they're done, but Soul still has feelings for her and is very self-loathing right now. I know he hates how he treated her, you can see it in his eyes, also that he envy's Kid, but he wants Maka to be happy, and I think you stomping in and hurting him won't do anything, I highly doubt he'll even fight back. I know he regrets everything that he's done. He's been quiet ever since he noticed Kid and Maka getting closer. At first he was mad when she left, but now I think he's just depressed. Just talk to him, but don't be too harsh." Tsubaki opened her eyes and looked up at Black Star. "Kay,"
"Kay," She shifted her position again and pecked Black Star on the lips before getting up. "I'm going to take a bath." And with that she walked away.
"Hey Kid, where's the bread?" Liz walked into the living room with her arms crossed.
"I think you used it up making those sandwiches for the sandwich eating contest you had at the beach." Kid said turning the page in his book. "Do you want me to go out and buy some more?" He said book marking his place in the book.
"Please," Liz clasped her hands together in front of her. Kid rolled his eyes. "Fine," He walked to the door, grabbing his car keys on the way.
"Thanks Kid," Liz yelled. Kid just waved his hand in response before ling the door and walking to his car.
"Where's Kid?" Patty walked into the room. Liz looked away from the television and at her sister. "You just missed him; he went to the store to buy more bread." Patty made a pouting face.
"I just gave Maka a makeover," She said walking over to the couch and flopping down next to her sister. "Maka come down here," Patty called. A few minutes later Maka walked down the stairs grudgingly. Her hair was curled and her bangs were brushed to the side. She was wearing a faded-looking pink dress that hugged her chest and torso, but puffed out a bit at the skirt and ended right below her knees. Patty had put light-emerald eye-shadow on her, along with eyeliner and mascara and some rose colored lipstick. Liz gasped.
"You look so pretty," She said, her eyes sparkling. Maka thanked her, walked over to the couch and stood by where the Thomson sisters were sitting. "That was the point of the makeover," Patty said grinning, proud of her work.
"Where's Kid?" Maka said looking around.
"He went out to get bread," Liz said. Maka sighed and sat down next to her.
Kid parked his car in front of the store, and got out. Why'd they have to use up all of the bread? He asked himself in his head. Before he could get into the store, a hand firmly grabbed his wrist. E looked to see who it was. He raised a brow. "Spirit, what are you doing here?"
"Yur that Kid, kid, righ'?" Spirit slurred. Kid wrinkled his nose. The man smelled strongly of vodka and other alcoholic drinks. He was hammer drunk.
"Yeah, why?" Kid asked. Spirit stumbled forward, and let go of Kid's wrist.
"I uh, need... need a ride back to my house," He said leaning on Kid's shoulder. Kid stumbled a bit at the sudden weight. The bread was going to have to wait.
"Hey, Black Star," Soul said with a grin as he opened his door. "What's wrong, you look mad." Black Star was glaring at Soul and his fists were clenched and shaking.
"Anger does not begin to describe what I am feeling right now," Black Star whispered. Soul stepped back a bit, and his eyes widened. "How could you do that to her?" Black Star looked Soul dead in the eye. "You abused her, and threatened her t not tell anyone. She didn't tell out of fear,"
"I know you hate-"
"I thought you were my friend Soul. Is that what friends do to their girlfriends, their other friends little sister. Even if we aren't blood related, she is still like my little sister, and I warned you that if you ever hurt her I would feed you to the hungry sharks in the ocean," Black Star didn't break eye contact.
"I know. I don't know why I did it, but every day since she left I've regretted it. I thought pl-"
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHY YOU DID IT?!"
"I've thought plenty of times about how happy Maka and everyone else would be if I just disappeared." Soul was breathing heavily and he was starting to tear up. "I've thought about it many times, and every time I stared at the razor I thought about how easy it would be to just go away. I thought about how much you would hate me I you knew, how much Spirit would hate me if he knew," Soul now had tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Razor…?" Black Star whispered.
"Yeah, razor; I haven't actually done it, but I thought about it. How easy it would be. But then I saw how happy she was with him, and- and I thought about it again. She looked so happy, and that made me happy. I've been sleeping on the floor in her room, and I realized that I wouldn't make her any happier if I just- just,"
"Soul calm down," Black Star slowly walked toward Soul who was shaking and gripping his hair.
"If I just disappeared," Soul finished quietly looking up. He let go of his hair. Black Star stared at him for a moment. "Is she happy?" Soul looked passed Black Star and at the moon. "Maka, is she happy with him? It's okay if you say yes,"
"Yeah," Black Star slowly said. He stepped inside the apartment and looked at Soul. "Are you okay,"
"I-" Soul didn't get to finish before Black Star's phone rang.
"Hello?" Black Star's eyes never looked away from Soul whose eyes were clouded with emotion. Black Star listened to the person on the other line and his eyes widened at what they were saying. "Calm down, I'll be right over,"
"What happened?" Soul asked as Black Star hung up and started to walk out the door.
"An accident, I need to drive Maka to the hospital. Don't hurt yourself while I'm gone." Soul's eyes widened and Black Star's rang through his ears after he closed the door
"An accident, I need to drive Maka to the hospital,"
"What happened?" Soul muttered to himself.
Haha, I left you with a cliffie! My friend's life has turned into a romantic love-triangle manga. So cool, right? I hope you liked that chapter, thanks for reading, and sorry about any errors in the chapter.
