Hey there! Shadowmistx98 here!

"I need to tell you that... I can't be your partner..." Maka said to Hiroshi.

"Why? Did I do something wrong?"

"N-no! You didn't... It's just that... please understand..."

"Is it... Soul?"

Maka sighed. "I can't leave him... He needs me and I need him..."

"I understand..." Hiroshi paused and smiled. "If that makes you happy..."

"I'm so glad you understood!"

"You... do love him... right?"

"Love him? N-no! He's my partner, nothing else besides that!"

"C'mon, Maka... it' obvious... judging by the way you two act... you really care for eachother..."

"That's because we're partners!"

"Is that it? Are you sure?"

"I-I-I..." Maka stuttered.

"Sorry for injuring him earlier, I kinda suffer from a mental disorder... I hope we still remain friends..." Hiroshi smiled gently. Maka smiled back. "Of course!"

"You better go back... Soul might be worrying about you.."

"Yeah... right..." Maka slowly walked away.

Maka closed the door to her apartment sighing facing the door. "What am I doing? I'm like a fool..."

"Maka..." Maka turned around to see Soul.

"u-uh, S-soul!" Maka stepped backward.

"Maka, I.. I'm sorry about earlier..." Soul apologized. "I didn't know what I was doing that time and let my anger get the best of me..."

"It's ok Soul, you don't have to say anything..." Maka bowed her head. She didn't want to look at Soul. Then, she was surprised when Soul suddenly hugged her. "Soul..?"

"I'm really sorry, Maka..." Soul apologized again.

"Soul, you don't need to apologize again and again.." Maka laughed weakly.

"Maka, there's something I need to tell you..."

"W-what is it?"

"I've always wanted to tell you this... I... I-I..." Soul took a deep breath and hugged her tighter.

"I Love You!" Maka's eyes widened and some tears fell.

"I just realized it now... I've always loved you... Please Maka... please..." Soul then realized Maka hugged him back tightly.

"Soul! You're so stupid!"

"Eh? What?"

"Why did you just say that now...?"

"Maka..." Soul slightly glanced at him.

"I love you too, Soul! Very much!" Soul's eyes widened.

"Earlier I was too confused... I didn't know why I felt like that when you and I had an argument... It's like my whole world crashed down..."

"You know, I felt like that earlier too... Maka, I'm so happy.." Soul smiled gently.

Maka closed her eyes and felt the warmness of their hug. "Me too, Soul.." they broke the hug. Soul smiled at her and leaned close to her face. Maka closed her eyes and leaned as well. Their lips where almost touching when all of a sudden.

"Hey~! I'm home you guys! Whoa..! Did I miss something?" Blair opened the door and stared at them. Maka and Soul immediately pulled back and turned red.

"Blair! Why didn't you knock! You stupid cat!" Maka snatched a book and chased Blair out of their apartment. "Wait! Don't be like that Maka! Nya!" Blair's voice could be heard as Maka chased her outside. Soul looke at the door swinging.

"Man, that cat..." Soul scratched his head. "That was close, you know that?" Soul smiled.

xXxThe Next MorningxXx

Soul and Maka climbed the stairs of the academy then Maka stopped. Soul who was three steps ahead of her stopped as well.

"What's wrong, Maka?" Soul asked. Maka looked away.

"Are you worried on how people would react about us?" he asked again. "Yeah..."

Soul smiled. "C'mon Maka, we're in this together." Soul stretched out a hand. "and those partner-request letters? They'll get tired of it.."

"Are we going to walk or are we going to sit out of class again?" Maka smiled back at him and grabbed his hand. They walked. Maka then ran up making Soul almost trip.

"H-hey! Slow down Maka!" Maka faced at him as they both ran.

"You know Soul? I love you! I love you very much!" Soul smiled at Maka.

"I love you too, Maka! Very much!
