Hey Everyone! Sorry for the delay on updating .. you see, I didn't had the chance to update last friday due to school stuffs and all. Anyway, here is Chapter 10, hope you enjoy it.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN SOUL EATER!
Maka's POV
I was surprised with what Soul confessed to me, well more like my world crushed. Of all the people I had to be my rival, why must it be Alice-neesan?
"Yes, Alice-neesan, she is not related to me in blood but I treat her like my own sister since we are alike. She is the only child of her parents too but what's more surprising and what made us so close was that she and I were like twins. She has the same color of hair and eyes as mine. We are often mistaken for each other. We grew close to each other and gradually became almost like sisters but she's more responsible than I do that's why she became the oneesan. She was one of the primary reasons why I chose to attend school here in Shibusen but a month later after I got enrolled, she vanished. Nobody from us knew where she went or is she fine. She just vanished like a bubble. Even I, who she always share her troubles with, doesn't know where she went. That's why everybody concluded her dead, but I know and I can feel she isn't." I narrated to Soul, he listened intently to me as I said everything I know about Alice-neesan. We were descending halfway of the ferris wheel already.
Normal POV
"So, as I was saying-" Soul was cut again when Maka pressed her index on Soul's lips.
"I know Soul, I understand." She said smiling weakly with tears threatening to fall but clearly she was holding it back.
"I-I" Soul tried to explain but stopped when he saw Maka's dark expression. They reached the starting point of the ride. The operator opened it and Maka stood up first and walked to the door then paused.
"It's fine, you don't have to explain, I've already heard enough." Maka said then continued walking out. Soul stood up as soon as Maka stepped out of the ride. Maka froze on her place and was staring at something, he took a peek and saw Liz and Patty grinning and gestured a peace sign then they giggled.
"Wh-What are you-" Soul tried asking but was cut with a loud voice from behind.
"Yo Soul!'
"Bl-Black Star? What are you doing here guys?"
"Well, you guys were kinda boring so we planned this. Aren't your God kind?" Black Star said.
"B-But-" Soul was cut again.
"Liz, Patty, Give me my things. I'm going home already."
"It's in the car, but why Ma-" She was cut when Maka snatched the keys that were on her hands.
"H-Hey Maka!" they called her but she dashed away.
"Maka!" they all dashed to catch up to her. They saw Maka by the car with her things already on her hands.
"What's wrong Maka?" Patty asked.
"Okay, I know what we did to you was unforgivable, but you don't have to go this far, right?" Liz said nervously.
"Please forgive us Maka if we offended you." Tsubaki apologized.
"That's not it at all." Maka said and approached Liz. She gave her keys back and passed by them. She saw Black Star and Soul finally caught up to them.
"Maka." Soul called but she just ignored him.
"Hey Maka. OKAY! I'M SORRY, I WAS THE ONE WHO THOUGHT OF THIS, SO PLEASE FORGIVE TSUBAKI AND THE OTHERS. BLAME IT ALL TO YOUR GOD." Black Star shouted. Maka jerked with his loud voice and stopped still with her heads down.
"That's not it at all." She said turning around and finally lifted her head. Tears were streaming down on her cheeks. Everyone was surprised to see her crying.
"Wh-What's wrong then?" Tsubaki said.
"I- I just want to be alone for now guys." she said and smiled forcefully while crying. She turned around again and lowered her head and dashed towards the exit. She stopped when someone grabbed her arms.
"Wait Maka!"
Maka squeezed her eyes close and struggled to break free from his grip.
"Let me go! Please .. Please Soul, Let me go. I just want to be alone."
"You .. You didn't even let me finish yet." Maka jerked but then tears continued to gush down from her puffy red eyes.
"What for? What for do I need to hear what you still had to say? Do you hate me that much? You know It'd hurt me so much but then you still want to say it? I even mustered up all my courage to confess to you! I know I'm foolish okay? Too foolish to even love someone who took my first kiss when I don't even know him."
"You say you love me but you're avoiding me and know you're telling me you regretted to have fallen for me? You need to know the truth, now that it's come to this. Can you at least let me finish?" Soul exclaimed. Maka stopped and nodded slowly.
"Bu-But please let me go." Maka said softly.
"Promise me you won't run." Soul said.
"I promise." Maka responded but didn't look at him, she kept her head down. Soul released his grip from her arm and Maka pulled it back. Soul let a sigh and ran his hand through his hair.
"True, that I liked Alice for so long." Soul started. Maka squeezed her eyes and wanted to run away again. She was afraid that she'd hear something she didn't want to. But she stayed.
"I really liked her because she was kind. But .." Maka jerked when she heard Soul say 'BUT'.
"When I met you, I really thought you were Alice, but when I looked more closely I found out you were someone else. I thought you were just like the other girls wanting to just do IT with me. That's why *that happened, but when I saw you cry I felt so disturbed with it that it made me restless and worried. I don't know why but it felt painful when I saw you cry. So when you still accepted me and told me that you loved me. I was certainly happy. I felt myself grew deeper and deeper in love with you ever since you smiled at me, you made me happy more than what Alice did when she was with us. Though it may be uncool but.." Soul paused. The gang gasped while Maka stared at him. Soul approached her and planted a kiss on her lips.
"I love you Maka Albarn. I love you more than I loved Alice, so please be my girl." Soul said averting his eyes to hide his embarrassment. Maka smiled with tears streaming down on her cheeks again.
"Wh-Why are you crying?" Soul asked flustering. Maka wiped her tears but it wasn't stopping and smiled at Soul with still tears on her eyes.
"Hehe, tears of joy they say. I love you too Soul Eater. I love you too." then she kissed Soul again. The gang felt happy for them. Maka broke the kiss then the both of them smiled at each other. Black Star cleared his throat, ruining the moment. Maka and Soul jerked upon realizing that they were not alone.
"Why do I feel that I, a GOD, is ignored?" he told the others.
"Yeah, and the air too, from cold to hot? is it an effect of climate change?" Liz followed.
"heehee, kiss~ kiss~" Patty said over and over again.
"Oh My! Guys, you're ruining the atmosphere, look at them, they're as red as an apple already." Tsubaki added.
"Well, were happy for you guys."
"Thanks guys, I couldn't have told him my feelings if not for the Ferris wheel." Maka said and thank them. The gang stared at her confused as well as Soul.
"Why?" Soul asked in behalf of the gang.
"Well, I believe in a superstition that I once heard from Mama and Papa." Maka said and rubbed her cheeks. The gang got the general idea and so they smiled.
"Well, it's just like girls." Black Star said.
"So? Shall we celebrate?" Liz said and held out her keys. The whole gang smiled and nodded. Maka and Soul looked at each other and smiled so sweetly. They linked their pinkies.
"Promise me you won't leave me."
"and Promise me that you won't leave me too." Soul said.
"I promise." the both said in unison and held out their pinkies.
"Let's stay together." Maka said.
"Forever." Soul continued.
"I love you." Soul and Maka said and turned to the big Ferris wheel and the ray of the sunset behind it still binding their pinkies.
"Hey! You LOVEBIRDS, ARE YOU GOING OR NOT?" called Liz. The both of them jerked.
"Coming." Maka said in response and pulled Soul with her towards the car. The gang spent the night together, having fun, singing all night, and drinking their hearts out. Well, that is except for Maka and Soul who don't like alcoholic beverages. Maka stood up and went outside to grab some fresh air, because their room stinks of beers. She closed her eyes and savoured the night breeze on the rooftop. She jerked when someone tap a hot drink on her face, she turned and saw Soul smiling at her.
"What are you doing here?" Maka asked him.
"Well, the same reason I think? I wanted fresh air than a room that reeks of beer." Soul commented as he sat down and chuckled. Maka turned to the hot tea Soul gave her and wrapped her hands on its body feeling its warmness.
"Hey! Don't just stare at it, drink it while it's still hot." Soul said when he noticed Maka staring at it. Maka turned to him and giggled opening the can and took a sip from it. There was silence between them as the wind enveloped them.
"Hey Soul," Maka said breaking the silence between them.
"Yeah?" Soul responded before taking a sip.
"I .. I've made my mind. I will be telling Kid everything and thank him for saving me when he comes back from his errand." Maka said twirling the can and also the liquid inside it. Soul jerked upon hearing Maka's decision.
"He-Hey, aren't you deciding too fast?" Soul asked.
"Well, I can't continue to be like what I always was with him now that I choose you or else It would be too unfair for him." Maka said and turned to Soul smiling with guilt. Soul let off a sigh and took another sip; he placed the can in front of him and turned to Maka.
"I understand how you feel, but please let me settle everything with him first. You do remember that I still have unfinished business with him, when you stood so recklessly between us even though we were still in the middle of a fight, lucky you I was still sane that time." Soul lectured a pouting Maka, while closing his eyes giving more emphasis.
"Mou!~~" Maka said and crossed her arms turning the other way around. Soul opened one of his eyes and took a peek at the annoyed Maka, then chuckled. Maka heard him and tried to turn to him but before she could, Soul wrapped his arms around Maka and rested his head on Maka's shoulder.
"I was just joking, really, well, I do need to settle it so will you entrust it to me?" Soul said and broke the hug. Maka turned to him and brought her hands on her chest and had a worried face on her face and suddenly smiled. She closed her eyes as if inviting Soul to kiss her. Soul blushed and turned away rubbing his cheeks.
"Kiss me and I'll think about it." Maka said not opening her eyes.
"geez, you really are such a spoiled princess." Soul said and smiled in defeat and leaned in closer to Maka. He lightly kissed Maka, and as soon as he opened his eyes he saw Maka do a thumbs up.
"Okay then. I trust you because I love you, so don't you dare shatter my trust in you." Maka said teasingly and gave Soul a tongue-out. Soul smiled nervously and chuckled weakly. Maka stood up and stretched her arms while Soul's expression turned sad, guilty, and etc. Maka then turned to Soul and offered her hand.
"Let's go? Soul." she said as she shone, illuminated with the moonlight's gleam.
"Kiss me and I'll go with you." Soul said and closed his eyes. Maka leaned in but stopped inches away from his face.
"Take my hand and promise to never let go, then I'll kiss you." Maka said smiling so teasingly. Soul sighed and smiled in defeat and took her hand. He stood up and wrapped his pinky around Maka's pinky.
"I promise to never let you go, princess. You know what that means right?" Soul asked and pulled Maka close to him. Maka closed her eyes smiling and nodded.
"uh-huh."
"I'm Glad you know that you can never escape from me ever again, my princess." Soul said and gently kissed Maka.
"Forever till eternity, let me vow to your entirety,
to Love you till I die, never will this be a lie."
they both chanted together and sealed their vow with a kiss. They went home together and parted ways when Soul sent Maka home. Soul leaned forward to Maka to give her a kiss when the doors from Maka's house banged open and out came her DRUNK father. Well, on instinct, Maka's hands moved on its own and landed a punch on Soul's face. They both sweat-dropped as Spirit fell down on front of their door.
"well, I shall see you tomorrow I suppose?" Soul said. Maka blushed when she remember what they were about to do, but her IDIOTIC father just had to do it.
"I-I suppose, see you tomorrow Soul." Maka said as she waved Goodbye and turned around. Soul turned around too and was about to leave when Maka called him causing him to turn around and nearly lose his balance when Maka suddenly pulled him down and kissed him. He stared at her surprised and turned a little red and touched his lip.
"Good night Soul." Maka smiled at him but her face was kinda blur because it was already dark. Maka then turned around and dashed towards her father and helped him up. Soul smiled and started walking back to his apartment too.
And that was 10 .. *that (refer to chapter 2 or 3, I think? their accident! remember?)
