Struggle Between Souls
Chapter: 11
My eyes were heavy as I awoke from a long sleep. I tried to sit up but I felt the pain in my side and laid backdown.
Where am I?
My eyes began to wander around the small room. When I reach to my left, I saw Kid laying in a bed as well, eyes wide open and tapping a rhythm on a small side table.
"Did I wake you?"
"Oh um, no not really." Kid shifted to his side slowly and carefully towards me.
"You feeling okay?"
"Yea I'll be okay. But the real question is are you okay."
Kid cleared his throat and brushed his bangs off to the side.
"Hey, I'm a grim reaper. I can stand up to a lot of things so yes I'm okay."He glanced a small grin at me as I returned a small grin.
In the labratory below the house
"Soul. She's okay. She just needs time to heal alright?"
Soul was pacing back and forth with his hands to his sides.
"I know but, it was my fault!"
Stein walked over to the worried weapon and placed a hand on his shoulder and kneeled down.
"She's fine and it wasn't your help okay? You did your best to help her. But She got shot by a bodyguard alright?"
Soul turned his head away from the professor.
"It was my brother professor. So I could've stopped him."
"Soul. He had to follow orders. But if you just breathe, I know you'll forgive him and yourself alright?" Stein stood up pulling out a cigarette and lighting it.
"Okay. Thanks for the cool advice." Soul then began to walk out of the room.
"No problem."
As Soul was reaching the door knob, he turned and face the professor again," do you think I can visit Maka?"
Stein had just sat on his wheelie chair and shifted his position over to him, letting out a puff of cigarette smoke.
"Soul, I think it would be better to see her in the morning. She's probably fast asleep."
"I guess you right. Night professor."
"Night."
Soul walked out of the labratory and headed from the room he and Black Star shared.
"Sup man. Your still up?" Black had just awakened from Soul walking in.
"yea why?"
"It's like." He shifted over to the small clock that was on his side table.
"almost 1 o'clock in the morning dude."
"Really? Oh god." He pulled his shirt off and put on his red pajama bottoms and flopped onto his small twin size bed.
"Are you worried about Maka?"
"Yeah a little." Soul laid on his back and places his hands under his head.
"She's fine okay? Just sleep it off." Black Star reached for the side table lamp and shut it off.
"Night."
Soul got under his covers and his eyes grew heavier and heavier.
"Night"
With Maka and Kid
"Sooo…"Kid laid flat on his back in the bed thinking about what to talk about.
"Soo…" They laughed a little for the small awkward silence.
"How are you and Soul doing?"
"Well you know. Its good."
"Hm."
"What about you and Liz?"
"Eh. I mean I guess I kinda like her but, there's someone else in mind at the moment."
"Really who?"
I then shifted to my side carefully and looked over at Kid who he then shifted to his side carefully to look at me.
"Um. I kind of don't want to say actually." He chuckled a little as I raised an eyebrow.
"aw please Kid! I'll get out of this bed if I have to, so I can get it out of you."
"Fine. Try all you want but I'm not saying a word."
"Grr." I stuck my tongue at him but he just laughed softly.
"You're so stubborn."
"I get that a lot."I laughed softly and starred into his golden eyes.
"Really who says?"
"Well, for one you just told me that and Soul says that at times."
"Oh really?" Kid raised an eyebrow at me seeming somewhat confused at my last comment.
"It's true though. I'm not afraid to admit it." I giggled slightly as did Kid.
"See. That's one thing I like about you Albarn. You're not afraid to admit things."
"At times I guess, haha." I moved my ashy blonde bangs out of eyes and runed my fingers slowly through my hair to move it to the side and placed it over my shoulder,
Kid began to sit up and swung his legs over to the side of the bed and walked over to my bed slowly holding his waist gently and sat on my bed. I bunched my knees together and sat up slowly against my pillow and looked into his golden yellow eyes.
"Have you ever heard of valentine's day Maka?"
"Well of course I have. Everyone has."
"Well, if I tell you who my valentine is, you have to swear not repeat the name or talk about to others only me okay?"
"Promise."
Kid began to lean in close to me.
"K-kid what are you-" he placed a finger over my lips and his lips came closer to mine.
"Well Maka, you want to know right?"
"Well yea but-" before I could finish my sentence, he placed his lips upon mine and he ran his hand through my hair. I wanted to stop him but, I just couldn't. As Kid broke the kiss, I placed my fingers on my lips and looked at him with confused eyes.
"So Maka." He moved closer to my ears and whispered soft and crisp into my ear.
"Will you be my valentine?"
