Rated: M
Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater!
Kid sat down for breakfast with his weapons in distress after thinking about his father. The girls looked over to see him in this unusual state when they changed the subject.
"So how is your relationship with Soul going? From what I can tell it looks great!" Liz said making Kids head shoot up from looking at his plate.
"Y-You really think so?" Kid said in a blissful state of mind.
"Yes, you two look so cute together walking around town. It makes me jealous!" Liz said just trying to change the depressing aura in the house. Patty on the other hand was patting Kid to keep him in his cheery mood. He gleefully skipped out the dinning room without the slightest hint of depression filling the air until he was stopped in his tracks by a portrait of his father. He sighed, wobbling back slowly to the dinning room, stirring the food on his plate. Liz sighed, placing a hand on the shinigami's shoulder.
"Kid, this is your decision to make, not your father's. You be with whomever you choose that will make you happy." Liz said making Kid remove her hand from his shoulder.
"That wasn't what I was worried about. It's his concern with the next heir to be shinigami after me." Kid said making Liz a little distress from Kid's problem until she came up with an idea.
"Kid, as long as the heir has shinigami blood, you can have someone bear your child and still be with Soul." Liz excitedly pointed out, making Kid more confident with the next decision he is willing to make.
"I'll talk to my father right away." Kid said rushing towards the door.
"Wait, what about us?" Liz said removing her apron and rushing to get Patty ready.
"Fine I'll wait." Kid pouted and sat down on his sofa, anticipating seeing his father as soon as possible.
Soul POV
"I don't know when to give him this gift. I saved up a lot after working back at the club again. Maybe I should show it to him tonight after school if he isn't too busy.
I tapped the pencil on my desk, sitting in the classroom next to the ash blonde girl, waiting to see Kids face. A couple of minutes later, other students entered the room except for Kid and his weapons. Maybe he's speaking with his father again or on a mission. Hopefully this isn't a bad time to present this gift to him.
Time flew by as I got ready to leave the premises of Shibusen. I walked with Maka back home to get ready for tonight's performance. Slipping the box in my bag, I headed out the door to see the sun dozing with its golden light streamed with various shades of orange, shinning across Death City, creating silhouettes in my path. The place was still setting up as I began to prepare myself as well. I took a look at my phone, and called his house number. There was no answer. I called his cell phone. Still I received no response.
I haven't heard his voice all day and I became a little troubled by this moment of silence. I text him the invitation to meet me tonight, hopefully he'll see the message. I sighed with relief and closed my phone, stuffing it into my pocket and walking out to the stage.
Kid's POV
I just arrived home with Liz and Patty after purchasing a few items for the house. Getting settled in my room, I noticed I left my phone here for the entire day. I hope Soul isn't disappointed about not hearing from me today. I have to admit I do miss the sound of his voice and piano playing. Looking at my phone, I opened it to see I received a new message from Soul.
"If you're not busy tonight, I want you to come down to see my performance. I have a surprise for you."
I lit up with joy, tossing and turning on my bed with curiosity of what the surprise may be. I notified Liz and Patty that I was going to be late coming home tonight and ran out the door. I had good news to tell Soul after talking to my father. Finally he sees it my way and not his own. Liz was right about me making decisions for myself.
I entered the place seeing a lot of people standing around talking. There wasn't anyone at the piano. I guess he isn't playing just yet. Suddenly warm hands were placed over my eyes, startling me horribly. I can tell these soft hands from anywhere after spending months and nights with the one I love, especially the cologne that I picked up from his scent.
"Soul, quit it. Stop joking around!" I chuckled softly, folding my arms.
"Soul? Who's Soul?" he teasingly joked as we both laughed together. Finally I heard his voice as it sent chills down my spine. He smiled, escorting me to my seat for tonight's performance as it was about to begin. Soul stepped onto the stage and began playing. It was just like last time when we first got together. Memories started playing back in my head as he played before me once more. The way his hands danced on the piano reminded me of all the nights we spent together with his soft hands dancing upon my body. It's been a day since we spent the night together. The performance ended and Soul bowed when I applaud along with the audience. After leaving the place we walked back to the fountain where we sat at a day before when we talked about my father.
"I wanted to do this the right way, but I didn't know how so I'm going to do it now." Soul said sitting down on the bench with me.
"Hold out both of your hands." He demanded as I followed. I became excited as the surprise was about to be revealed. Watching him I saw him pull out a box from his bag. I couldn't believe it as my eyes widened by the precious jewels he removed from the box. The amber gemstones resembled the color of my eyes as he slipped both rings on my ring fingers. I was in shock as I sat before the one I love that was giving me such a gift. He smiled, gazing at my expression. I couldn't help but cover my face in disbelief. I violently shook my head. This had to be a dream. I couldn't think straight. Soul pulled my hands down, planting a kiss on my lips. Clasping my arms around his neck, I furthered the kiss, slowly believing that this was actually reality. Soul pulled back and held my hands.
"Let this be a night we both remember in the future." He said planting a kiss on the back of both my hands. I couldn't just break the news to him so soon that I will be able to be with him and have an heir to the throne. I need to see if this is official before saying anything.
Third POV
The night ended as the shinigami and the white haired boy returned to their homes. The shinigami entered the mansion only to be greeted by both his weapons.
"You guys are still up?" Kid scratched his head when Patty was the first to notice the amber colored rings on the shinigami's fingers.
"Onee-Chan look at these." She called her sister over, grabbing his hands when she leaned in to see the rings.
"Did he really? No way!" Liz was impressed as they continued to look at the rings.
"They're so pretty!" Patty said amazed by the color. Kid could only just smile to the girls. He didn't know how to feel. He was just awed by what he experienced today. He walked upstairs into his room and pounced on the bed. He held both his hands high, gazing at the rings. He rubbed the smooth surface of the gem and thought to himself.
"Maybe this will be official." He said with a smile.
