Epi. 11: We Found Love in a Grocery Store

Normal POV_

Maka walked down the street with her purse in her hand. The sun was low in the sky, and Maka was hurrying to the store to get the groceries for dinner tomorrow.

A breathe of relief escaped her lips as she entered the shop, immediately grabbing a cart and heading towards the vegetable aisle. Along the way, though, she thought she heard a familiar voice. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Black*Star... in the book aisle... reading? Was Maka hallucinating? She rubbed her eyes, only to find that Black*Star was really there, and he was really reading.

His loud laughter filled up the aisle.

He's probably reading something stupid, Maka thought to herself as she was about to leave, but something stopped her. It was her curiosity. What exactly would Black*star read? Was he actually in to reading?

She shook her head, angry at herself for thinking about it. She figured it wouldn't hurt, so she pushed the cart to the side and began to sneak up on Black*star. He was facing the opposite direction. Maka began to think about what he could possibly be reading: Is it a game informer? ... Maybe... Please don't tell me it's an underwear magazine for women.. -_-+

The thought of that being the reality really pissed her off.

But, why would he be looking at that in the store? Well, he is Black*Star, she thought to herself as she slowly and quietly made her way even closer to the young meister. When she was finally behind him, she noticed something that shocked her: no pictures.

She was suddenly nervous, realizing that she'd probably seen enough and that maybe Black*Star isn't exactly who she thought he was. She was about to make her way back to her cart when that familiar voice called her back.

"Hey, Maka," he said.

Maka turned around awkwardly.

"Oh, hi... Black*Star," Maka said with a sheepish smile.

"Uh, you ok?" he asked.

"Oh, yeah I'm fine," she replied.

"Oh cool," he said as he looked at his book.

You can do it Maka, just ask him. She said to herself in thought.

Maka sighed, "Soo... um.. where's Tsubaki?"

"Oh, uh... she's... sick," he said.

"Sick?" Maka asked.

"Yeah, why else would I be here?" Black*Star asked.

Maka looked down at his book. He looked at it too and suddenly hid it behind his back and slid it into his pocket.

"Uhh... It's not what you think. Tsubaki asked me to pick it up for her," he lied, pulling out the other book from his pocket.

"Uh huh," Maka said sarcastically, "Then why were you reading it?"

"Reading it? I wasn't reading it! Gods don't read!" Black*Star said loudly.

"Can I see it?" Maka asked, holding out her hand. He began to sweat. The way she held out her hand, her eyes shining in the store light. Wait, what was he thinking. He shook off his thoughts and handed the book to her.

She looked at the title.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days

Maka shook her head with a smile. She knew he was lying right from the start. (A/N: He didn't hand her the book that he was reading :O)

"I should've known," she laughed.

"Wh- what?" he stuttered. Wait, he stuttered? Maka suddenly found this attractive.

"Tsubaki doesn't read this stuff," Maka smiled, "I know because she's my friend."

"Well, I know her better! I'm her meister AND her friend!" Black*Star shouted.

"Black*Star," Maka said, grabbing his hands, "It's ok if you're into reading. I like reading."

"Yeah, but you're you," he said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Maka pouted.

"Er, nothing!" Black*star said.

"That's what I thought," she replied.

Maka giggled a bit before an awkward silence fell between the two, and then the awkwardness piled on as they both noticed they were still holding hands. Maka pulled away and brushed back her hair.

"Well, I should-" Maka started, but was interrupted when Black*star suddenly kissed her.

Maka pulled away almost immediately.

"B- Black*Star, what're you doing?" she asked.

His eyes widened as he rubbed his arm in embarrassment, "S- sorry... I thought now was the right time..."

Maka stared at him dumbfounded until she broke away from her gaze.

"Maka," Black*Star got her attention, "I'm really sorry. I know I shouldn't have-"

He was then interrupted by Maka, who kissed him the way he'd kissed her. He kissed back. The kiss lasted longer this time, and was more passionate.

Maka pulled away, "Black*star... what does this mean?"

"It means I love you Maka," Black*Star said in such a low voice that Maka could barely even recognize him. Suddenly, a small book fell out of his pocket. Maka noticed it. It was a romance novel, and she knew it like the back of her hand. Heck, she owned that book. It was no wonder this scene felt so strangely familiar to her, except for the fact that they were in a grocery store and not under a willow tree.

Black*star's face turned slightly pink when she saw it. He became nervous and stuttered, "Uh.. Maka?"

She grabbed the book and smiled.

"Th- that's for-" Black*Star started, but Maka interrupted him, "I know you've been reading it Black*Star. It's ok."

Black*Star was silent.

"I've read this book about a hundred times, so I know it like the back of my hand," she smiled proudly.

"... Maka?" Black*Star got her attention.

"Yeah?" she looked at him.

"Please... don't tell anyone," Black*Star admitted, "It's not very godly to read, if you know what I mean."

"I won't," Maka said, "but just tell me this."

There was a short silence.

"Do you think we could make us work? You and me? Together?" Maka asked, taking the words right out of the book.

Black*star played along, "Of course. Why else would I be here, with you?"

Maka smiled, "Then it's official?"

"Wait, you mean it?" Black*Star asked.

"Yeah," she nodded.

Black*star smirked. They walked out of the store together, hand in hand.

"So, how long have you had this crush on me?" Black*star asked as the night grew.

"Oh, shut it," Maka giggled, playfully punching his arm.

Suddenly, Maka stopped in her tracks.

"What is it?" Black*Star asked.

She face-palmed herself as she said this: "D*mn it Black*Star! You made me forget the groceries!"

"What?" Black*Star asked as she ran back. He followed her closely, "It wasn't my fault you got distracted by my awesome self!"

"Makaaa CHOP!" Maka shouted, chopping him on the head with one of her books that she randomly pulled out of her pocket.

And the story ends with Maka running down the street in the dark towards the grocery store and Black*star trying to catch up to her.

MusicMaker87: Well, there you go! I made this one cute :3 I'm so proud of myself. Hopefully you liked it too! AND, if you didn't like it, don't worry.

EPILOGUE:

Normal POV_

Black*star caught up to Maka and helped her shop for the groceries at a quick speed. When they got back to her apartment, he gave her a long kiss goodnight and watched Maka head up the steps before heading back to his house.

Maka entered to the sound of snoring.

"Did Soul stay up for me?" she asked herself out loud as she brought her bags to the kitchen. She smiled. Then she thought of Black*Star.

She and him grew up together in the academy. They used to play under a willow tree near a pond, where several failed attempts made by Black*star to use one single vine to swing into the water made Maka giggle at the memory.

She knew instantly, that's where they'd have their next date.

Maka walked over to the couch and rested Soul's head on a comfy pillow and wrapped him in a blanket before heading back to her room. She leapt on to her bed and stared at the ceiling.

~~~:3

When Black*Star got back to his house, he decided to sneak in from the back. He was almost to his room when he heard a small laugh.

He turned around to see Tsubaki.

"You're supposed to stay in the shadows, not out in the open," she smiled.

"Oh, right," Black*Star scratched the back of his head.

"So, did you get my book?" she asked.

Black*Star face-palmed, "D*mn it, I left it at the store!"

"What? How could you forget?" Tsubaki asked curiously.

"It was Maka," Black*star said, "She... distracted me..."

Tsubaki laughed quietly, "It's alright. I'll get it tomorrow. Diary of a wimpy kid won't sell out in one night."

"Haha, yeah," Black*Star laughed, "But you should really get some sleep."

"Yeah, you're right," she nodded, wiping her nose with a tissue and taking the box to her room.

"Goodnight, Black*Star," she said before going into her room.

"Night, Tsubaki," he replied, going into his room.

He laid down on his bed and stared at his ceiling. He smirked as he thought about Maka. He knew he did the right thing.

They both fell asleep and had good dreams that night.
