In the apartment, the sun shined through the curtains waking the sleeping Soul, the white haired scythe boy looked around and saw it was around 10:00 AM, he sat up rubbing his eyes looking around the room until his blurred sleepy sight returned to normal, the apartment felt so empty, even though Blair the Cat was still in the building, it was just because Maka wasn't around, he was so use to her waking him

"I should go look for her." Soul said to himself, he found his black leather jacket slipping it on, he was just about to put on his shoes when he heard a knock on the door, he forgot what he was doing and walked over to the door and unlocked it jolting it open.

"I'm sorry...I shouldn't have left like that." Maka said, she was clutching the sleeves of her jacket, she looked at the ground and then up at him, she was shocked when she was scooped into a tight hug.

"You don't need to apologize, I'm just glad your home." Soul says.

"Are you going to be this sweet all the time?" Maka questions, when they pulled away from the warm sweet hug, she walks into the apartment, Soul closed the apartment door behind them.

Soul chuckles. "You idiot, you could have frozen out there, you are so lucky I didn't call the cops to look for your ass."

Maka laughed shortly. "There's the Soul, I know and love." She smiled softly, her green eyes lighting up.

"Wait...You said 'all the time' but we don't have much time...Unless?" Soul questions, his crimsion eyes gluing to her green orbs, her smile only grew wider.

Maka nods with a smile on her face as he looked at the questioning Soul. She knew this was the right thing to do, there was no doubt about it.

"You're staying?" Soul replies.

"Of course, I mean...I do need to stay for school, along with being with my scythe to make it a death scythe, I can't do that in Rome. Plus I don't care what my dad says, I love you and want to be here with you." Maka answers.

Soul grabs Maka hugging her again more tighter, he pulled away and planted a kiss on her lips. "Just the words I wanted to hear, Maka Albarn."


After Soul had called Spirit, they had been waiting and within minutes of waiting for Spirit and Maka's mother to arrive, finally there was a loud knock on the door, which of course had to of been Spirit. Instead of waiting for someone to answer, Spirit barged into the small apartment, right away he had a death glare that was direction at Soul, only his gaze had softened seeing his daughter.

"Maka!" He shouts running to her about ready to hug her only for Maka to hit him over the head with a huge thick black book.

"Nope." She replies.

"I'm so glad your okay honey, I'm so sorry about Spirit if I would have known he would have ran you off I wouldn't have had him come with..." The mother said entering the room, tears streaming down her cheeks she pulled her daughter into a warm hug.

"I'm sorry I worried you, mom...I'm also sorry that you had to come out for nothing, I'm not going, I have loved ones here, I hope you understand." Maka answers pulling away tears spilling from her eyes.

"Of course I do, It was worth it to see you...Your Father has a weird way of acting like your Father, I guess he was trying to look out for you, Don't give up on him no matter how much of an idiot he is, give him a chance. It may not of worked for me and him but he is a good guy." She says.

"I can try, but I can't promise anything." Maka replies.

The blonde woman smiles before pulling her into a tighter hug. "A bond between meister and weapon is the greatest bond you could ever have. That Soul is a keeper, I can see how much he loves you."

"I know, he's not bad." Maka replies looking over at Soul who was far away giving the two space, she gave him a huge smile.

"Come on Spirit you can give me a ride to the airport, Maka I am so proud of you, I love you." Maka's mom says.

"I love you too, Mom. I hope to see you again soon." Maka replies.

And with that Maka's mom dragged spirit out the door leaving the two along in their apartment.

"Well that went well." Soul says walking up to Maka.

"Yeah...It did." Maka replies.

"Do you regret not going to Rome with your mother?" Soul questions.

"Not at all, my home is here with you and with our friends." Maka replies wrapping her arms around Soul's neck, their foreheads pressed together, Maka kisses Soul passionately as he wraps his arms around her waist.

"Get a room you two." Blair comments, making a quick appearance before disappearing into the bathroom.

Soul and Maka pull away from each other with laughter at the awkward interruption from Blair, their noses still touching. "I love you My greatest weapon, Soul."

"I love you too, Meister Maka." Soul replies kissing her again.
