MusicMaker87: This is probably the hardest short love story for Soul Eater I've ever written considering Gopher literally hates Maka's guts, but I'll try. I apologize if this is no good.
This is a GoMa ~ Suggested by MinaBlahBlahBlahAnimeFan
If you have no idea who Gopher is, you can look him up on google. Some info on him, he really hates Maka because her soul is what Noah is focused on killing, but what makes Gopher most angry is simply the fact that Noah is focused more on Maka then on Gopher. Gopher looks up to Noah and wants to make him proud, but Noah tends not to pay much attention to him, causing him to be furious most of the time. I honestly have no idea what happens to Gopher or Noah in the end because I didn't read all of the manga, but I'll try my best.
Disclaimer: When I own Soul Eater, love will be an easy thing to find.
Epi. 12: Falling for an Enemy
Setting the scene: So let's say Noah is gone or something happened to him where he couldn't return, and that made Gopher depressed. So, he's wandering the streets without a purpose in life, until he runs into an old enemy, Maka Albarn.
Normal POV_
Gopher paused. He recognized her. It was her. Maka Albarn. She was the one Noah wanted him to kill.
Oh, if only Noah was still here, he said to himself in thought.
Maka was only a block away, talking to a silver-haired boy. Suddenly, she pulled out a book from who knows where and hit him in the head with it. Gopher's brows furrowed. Maka pouted.
"Now's my chance to finally show Noah what I can do," Gopher said to himself, "Even... though... he's... not here!"
Suddenly, he fell to the ground, covered his face, and sobbed. Maka took notice and immediately recognized who he was.
"Soul," she said, getting Gopher's attention, "Let's go."
"Yeah," Soul replied. They escaped. Gopher hit himself on top of the head in anger.
"HOW DID I LET THEM GET AWAY?!" Gopher shouted. Then, the idea to follow them popped in his head. He smirked evilly as he dashed in the direction they went. His signature angry look disappeared when he saw Maka, standing on the top step to her apartment looking out at the stars, alone.
His mouth fell open. Then he saw Soul come out and bring her inside. He shook his head and asked himself aloud, "What am I thinking? What the h*ll is wrong with me?!"
He fell to his knees.
"I'm so sorry Noah! I've failed you yet again!" he screamed to the skies, "But don't worry, I'll try again! I'll do it for you Noah, just you wait!"
~~~The Next Day~~~Normal POV_
"I'll get that flat-chested b*stard this time!" he said to himself as he hid behind a brick wall. They were in a market. Maka and Soul were looking for good deals, so Gopher had the idea that they wouldn't be on alert. Unfortunately, he was dead wrong.
Maka suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"What's up Maka?" Soul asked.
"I sense... A soul... It feels familiar," she said.
Oh crap, I forgot! She's able to sense souls! he said to himself in thought.
"D*MN IIIIIITTT!" Gopher yelled at the top of his lungs as he ran away. Maka and Soul turned and watched him run with big question mark signs on their heads. They just shrugged it off and went back to what they were doing.
Gopher ended up crying in an alley way. There was a black cat who sat there and watched him cry.
He looked over to the cat and asked, "What? Are you disappointed in me too?"
"Why should I be disappointed?" The cat suddenly asked.
Gopher fell back into a bunch of garbage by the startle.
"Y- y- you can talk?!" Gopher asked loudly.
"Of course I can!" The cat laughed, "So tell me... What's wrong?"
"Why do you wanna know?" he asked, wearing his signature angry face.
"I'm curious," she said.
"But... curiosity killed the cat," Gopher said.
"Yeah, but..." the cat said as purple mist surrounded her. Suddenly she was a woman with purple hair and dark yellow eyes. "Satisfaction brought her back," she smirked.
"Wh- what? Are you a witch?" he asked.
"No, I'm just a cat with an incredibly large amount of magic," she smiled.
"Well... what's your name?" he asked.
"Blair," she said, "Now tell me."
"W- well... There's someone I need to kill, but... it's just so hard!" he almost started to cry again, but she shushed him.
"It's alright," she said, "What's the person's name?"
"M- Maka Albarn," he said.
Blair's brows furrowed, "You wanna kill Maka-chan?"
"It's not that I want to, it's that I have to," he replied.
"Why?" Blair asked.
"What? Aren't you supposed to be satisfied?" he asked.
"Not yet. Tell me why," she said, leaning against him and making him nervous.
"Err.. ok! Noah-sama wants me to kill her! Well, he wanted me to, when he was here still..." he said, "And she took his total attention! It just wasn't fair!"
"But, this Noah guy... he's gone?" Blair asked.
"Mhm," Gopher nodded.
"Then you don't have to listen to this guy anymore. You can be your own person and live your own life," Blair said.
"But... I... I just-" he started, but she interrupted him, "Think about it. If you kill her, where's your reward? If he's gone, then who's gonna tell you that you did a good job? You'll live in shame for the rest of your life!"
"But I'm already living in shame!" he shouted.
"Listen to me," Blair calmed him down with a hug, "Just erase your past, and focus on the present... Don't worry about the future, ok? Don't kill Maka, it isn't worth it. It's not what he wants you to do. Right now, I'm sure, he just wants you to live a normal life."
And with that, purple mist surrounded her, changing her back into a cat. She tipped her hat at him and trotted away.
Gopher was speechless. No one had ever spoken to him that way. No one had ever believed in him. She was the first.
~~~In the market area thingy~~~ Normal POV_
"Hey, Soul," Maka got his attention, "Save this spot for me, I'll be right back."
"Uh, alright," Soul replied.
Maka wanted to find out who this person was. She felt a familiar soul's wavelength, and she was determined to find it.
When Maka stopped suddenly, she could feel the soul's wavelength quiver and shake. It was nervous.
She went into the alley. Suddenly she stopped. It was... him?
"You," she said angrily.
He looked up at her. The girl he'd felt hatred towards for so long... he didn't have to kill her anymore.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I-," he started, but she interrupted him, "Are you trying to kill me again? 'Cause it won't work. You're pathetic!"
He looked at her, and strangely... she reminded him of Noah. He smiled.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked.
"Noah-sama!" He jumped up and hugged her.
"Agh!" she fell to the ground with a thud. He was on top of her.
"I miss you so much!" he cried.
"What the-" Maka started, but his cries interrupted her.
"Please! Tell me what to do! I'll make you proud!" he shouted.
"Wh- what?" Maka asked, completely confused.
"Maka," he said.
The way he said her name sent chills into her spine.
"Y- yes?" she asked.
"Thank you. You're back," he smiled, hugging her tighter.
"Err, you're welcome?" Maka replied.
Maka looked at him, "So... what are you doing here, if not to kill me?"
"I would never kill you , Maka-chan, I just need you to tell me what to do. I'll be anything you want me to be. I'll be your servant, your butler, your slave. Anything!" he shouted.
"W-" she started, but he interrupted her again, "I love you, Maka-chan."
Maka was silent. Her mind was still trying to process all of it.
"What do you want me to do first?" he asked.
"Get off me?" she said.
"Yes, mam," he said, getting off of her.
She stood up and brushed the dust off of her clothes.
"Listen," she said, "I don't know what's going on inside of your head, but... I'm Maka Albarn, you know, the one you wanted to kill?"
"I don't want to kill you, Maka Albarn," he said.
Again, she shivered at her own name rolling off of his tongue.
What's wrong with him? What's wrong with me? Why is this so... attractive? Maka asked herself in thought.
Suddenly, his eyes were hazed in a mixture of lust and passion.
"Uhh..." Maka stuttered.
He brushed away some of the hair on her fragile face.
"Are you alright?" Maka asked nervously.
"I'm fine, and you?" he asked in a low voice, "Maka..."
Maka didn't know what to do. Half of her wanted to stay and see what happened next, but the other half wanted her to run out of there as quick as she could.
He pulled her into a hug.
"I'm sorry, Maka-chan," he whispered into her ear.
"Huh?" Maka said/slightly moaned.
He held her tighter, "I'm sorry for everything. I don't want to hurt you. I want to make you feel happy."
"Um, ok?" Maka said.
He smelled her hair.
So sweet. I don't know what's taking me over. I'm falling in true love with my one true hate. How strange, it's almost like Romeo and Juliet. He smiled as he thought this to himself.
He brought her face close to his and smiled.
Maka's eyes were a mixture of fear and uneasiness.
"I do love you, Maka Albarn. I just realized it," he said, "I'll do whatever you want. Just tell me anything."
Suddenly, he pulled her into a soft kiss. It was slow and passionate. Maka was stiff at first, but somehow, she found herself melting into it and... enjoying it.
~~~Meanwhile~~~
"What the hell is taking her so long?" Soul asked himself as he sighed and shook his head.
~~~Back to the alley~~~ :3
She felt butterflies in her stomach. It felt amazing. Kissing an enemy, what has she turned into. One thing was for sure, she didn't want to stop. She felt his soul. It was sincere and true. He really did love her.
She finally gave in. Maka realized she loved him too, in a strange yet wonderful relationship.
That day changed Gopher's life for good, and it was all thanks to Maka Albarn and that magical cat, Blair.
He soon became a meister in the DWMA, and he trained with Maka almost everyday. Sometimes it would be just the two of them, and sometimes it would be them and their weapons. It didn't matter. Just as long as she was there, she reminded him of someone who was near and dear to his heart. Maka was his Noah-sama. He'd never let her go. He would make her proud, no matter what.
He was her Gopher.
MusicMaker87: THAT WAS SOOO HARD! MRAAHHHHHHH! I hope you enjoyed it MinaBlahBlahBlahAnimeFan! I worked hard on it, and if you don't like it... that's ok. You and I will just have to deal with it. I know it's kinda fluffy, but I tried.
The next couple of short stories will be weapon-meister love, and then I'll get back to the suggestions! That doesn't mean you can't suggest until then. Keep suggesting! The more I get the better!
Thanks you guys!
