Maka's morning had started the same for the most part, she had woken up and showered, got dressed, and even made breakfast for her and Soul. everything was normal except for her hair.
Every attempt at pulling her hair up into her pigtails had been a failure. They always seemed to be a bit lopsided, or uneven. Maka removed the hair tie for the tenth time and brushed through her straight ash blonde hair once again. She gave an unpleasant sigh and tried for attempt number eleven.
By the time the partners needed to leave for school Maka's count for pigtails failed was over twenty and she had finally decided that she wasn't having a good hair day and that she should just leave it as it is. She and Soul rode his bike to school, the lack of pigtails meant that her hair was flying everywhere and was only going to be more of a mess by the time they arrived.
Stepping off Soul's motorcycle Maka gave a sharp huff of frustration as she tried in anger again to tie her hair up. Her hair now was even and not lopsided,although to her dismay her pigtails were still a mess. She gave a scowl and her eye were giving a defeated look about them.
"You know if you needed help then you could just ask…" Soul's voice made Maka jump slightly. His large hands carefully pulled out the hair ties. He ran his fingers through her hair to remove her hair from tangles.
A light blush dusted her cheeks as his focused scarlet eyes neared her own emerald orbs. He easily put her hair into two perfect pigtails and her smiled slightly.
"Your hair smells like strawberries." with his words Maka's blush brightened and her gaze glanced at her feet.
"Is that a good thing?" Maka fidgeted as she looked back up at him.
"Yeah, strawberries are my favorite." Soul smiled at Maka, which only made her blush worse.
"L-lets just get to class…" Maka started to walk up the many steps before turning around to face Soul. "Uh thanks for helping me with my hair."
