Soul ran outside to where the gym class met every other week. He spotted Maka standing with Black Star chatting.
No, No, NO!
Soul quickly approached the pair.
"Maka!" Soul practically yelled.
"Yeah...?" Maka looked confused by his tone and volume.
"Can I talk to you for a sec?" He asked with alarm in his voice.
Maka noticed this and shot him a concerned look.
"Sure. Black Star you'll have to ask me whatever it was you were gonna ask me later." Maka said.
"But..." Black Star tried to chime in.
"Sorry Bro! Emergency!" Soul grabbed Maka by the elbow and literally dragged her away from Black Star.
"Soul, what's wrong?" Maka asked when they were away.
Oh Shit. It was time...Crap! He couldn't whimp out now! But...she was wearing the GYM SHORTS and that only made him more nervous.
"Soul?"
"Yeah, yeah...sorry. I just uh..." Soul's face began to turn red. "I've been meaning to tell you this for a while now...but I uh..."
The sound of a whistle blared in Soul's ear.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Soul shouted, covering his ears.
"Evans, language."
"Oh no..." Maka face palmed.
Soul turned around to see Spirit standing behind him wearing a black track suit and holding a whistle.
"I'm subbing for Naigus today." He said to the many stud
Students who were gathered outside and now all staring in their direction.
"You've gotta be kidding me..." Soul groaned.
"So partner up and start warm ups! I'll be walking around..." Spirit announced. "And watching you all very closely." He glared at Soul.
"Partners?" Maka asked Soul.
"Yeah, okay." Soul nodded.
Maka began to stretch.
"So what was it you needed to tell me?" She asked as she bent over to touch her toes.
THE GYM SHORTS
"Uh..." Soul quickly tried to look at anything but Maka's butt. "So..."
"Evans!" Spirit blew his whistle from across the field. "Get to work."
"Right sorry!" Soul began stretching.
"Ugh, he always has the worst timing." Maka moaned. "We'll talk later, okay?" She said.
"Alright, yeah."
Now he just had to keep Maka away from Black Star...
"Hold my feet." Maka laid down on her back. Soul sat down and pressed on her toes as she began to do sit ups.
The sound of Spirit's whistle echoed once again. "Alright, time for laps. Everybody line up!"
Ugh. Soul really hated P.E.
After a torturous gym class, Soul hit the showers.
Lucky for him, Black Star always took a really long shower. Soul was able to quickly slip out of the boys locker room and go wait for Maka outside the girl's locker room.
Maka and Tsubaki exited the girls locker room about ten minutes later.
"Oh, hey Soul." Maka was putting her damp hair into pigtails. "Ready to talk?"
"Yeah."
He wanted to talk to her alone, it would be easier.
"Mind if we go to the third floor balcony?"
"Well, what's wrong with right here?" Maka asked.
Shit.
Soul gave Tsubaki a pleading look.
Tsubaki picked up on Soul's signal. "Um, I should really go wait for Black Star." She smiled and walked off towards the boys locker room.
"See you later Tsubaki! Third floor balcony it is, I guess." Maka shrugged.
"So uh...Maka..." Soul leaned against the railing of third floor balcony, which over looked the DWMA.
Last time they were alone on a balcony, he kissed her.
"Yes Soul? Come on, what is it?" Maka was growing impatient.
"Well I..." Soul ran his fingers through his hair nervously. "You look really good today."
Shit. Not what he meant to say.
"Oh well, thank you...but is that really what you've been trying to tell me?"
"Yes...and no." Soul smacked his face against the railing. "I'm sorry."
Maka giggled. "What's wrong with you Soul?"
Soul bit his lip. "It's just hard to put into words..."
"Soul..."
"So I guess...if I can't tell you...I can show you." Soul grabbed Maka by the waist and pulled her close to him. She stroked her face gently and then kissed her tenderly on the lips.
"SOUL! What the..."
"Isn't obvious Maka?" Soul interrupted her. "I'm falling for you."
