Chapter 12 ~ Dance (Part 2)

~ MAKA'S POV ~

I was with Tsubaki, Liz, and Patty. They were all nagging me to tell Soul that I liked him. I mean I do like him, as a best friend. If I tell him what I really feel, it could ruin our relationship as best friends. My friends went off to their dates and I went back outside for some fresh air. I stood on the terrace taking in the night air. Everything that happened was going through my head.

"You should ask Soul out you two would look so cute together." Liz said. "Yeah Maka, why don't you? Soul is sweet and you two are close so you should." Tsubaki added. Patty giggled and nodded at what they were saying. "Even if I do," I started. "It could ruin everything if he says no. We probably won't be friends anymore if I ask him." I said. Tsubaki put a hand on my shoulder. "You never know unless you try…"

Those words kept playing over and over in my head. I really do like Soul, maybe even, more than a friend. But I knew he doesn't feel the same way. I mean all the looks he gets in the halls from girls, who wouldn't like him. I sighed and look up at the night sky. Then out of nowhere, hands cover my eyes and I couldn't see. "What the hell? Who's there?" I asked trying to remove the person's hands. "His name starts with 'S', has white hair and red eyes, and is your date to this dance." He said. I then removed his hands and turned around. "Soul!" I said, still surprised on what just happen. "Yeah that's right. What wrong, you look sort of down." He said coming to stand next to me. I shook my head. "I'm fine." I told him with a smile. He nodded and then took my hand. "Okay, you want to dance again? You know, if you want to." He said a bit of red crossing his face. I smiled and nodded. I held his hand tighter as we went inside for our second dance.

~ SOUL'S POV ~

After I surprised her I thought we should dance again. I was leading again showing Maka moves here and there. I may have been fine on the outside but on the inside, I'm freaking out. I really want to tell her how I feel but, I'm afraid our friendship will fall apart if she says no. I don't want anything to happen to us, she is my first real friend, and I don't want to lose that. I looked at Maka, she was looking around watching our other friends dancing and talking, or stuffing their faces with food like Black Star was doing. 'Dude, that's so not cool…' I thought looking at Black Star. I looked back at Maka, who at the same time looked back at me. She gave a shy smile and I gave on back. I felt my face getting closer to hers and I went with the feeling. Maka was moving in closer to me too. It got to the point where our lips were so close, only a thin wall of air was in between.

'What am I doing?' I thought. 'Our faces are way too close, and our lips are almost freaking touching!' I didn't know what to do. Maka made no movement on moving away, which I took as a good sign. What if I kiss her? Do I want that? I looked at Maka; her eyes were looking at mine. They were the most beautiful, amazing shade of green I have ever seen in my life. 'Of course I want this!' I yelled at myself. 'Would she want it though? What if I kiss her and she hates me afterward?' Right now I was lost on what I was going to do. I looked at her one more time. She was still looking at me, not moving away. 'I guess I'll find out…' and with that I closed the small distance and kissed her.

I kissed her softly. I could feel my heart beating faster and faster. 'Holy crap! I am kissing her!' was the only thing going through my head. I felt her kiss back. It was awkward; I didn't really know what I should be doing, so I just held her close. It felt amazing and I loved the feeling. We kissed like that for who knows how long. After a while, I pulled back because I was starting to feel light headed. I looked at Maka who must also be feeling the same. She looked up at me; she looked confused and a bit lost. "Maka, I…" I was cut off when the song ended and she let go of me. "I think I need fresh air," was all she said before she went back outside. I looked down at the floor. 'Shit! I blew it! Now she probably doesn't want to talk to me.' I thought. I looked back to where she left and decided I that I should talk to her. So I went after her.

~ MAKA'S POV ~

I went outside where it was quite. I was out on a terrace and went towards the railing and sighed. I really don't know why I left, I really enjoy that kiss, but I needed air right now and time to think. 'What should I do? I really like Soul, more than a friend even. But…' I didn't know what to do. Everything happened so fast. I felt my heart beating fast and my palms were a little bit moist. I don't what to do? I don't know what to say? All these questions were bothering me so much. "What should I say to Soul? I'm so confused." I whispered. "Maka," I heard. I jumped at the sound at my name. I turned around to see Soul, out of breath like he was chancing me. "Maka," he said again and came up to me. He came close to where I was looking at him in the eye. I could feel my heart beating faster and faster by the second. We were so close that it felt like we were the only people in the whole world. 'I do love him… don't I… I mean he listen to my past and accepted me for who I was. I did the same for him.' I thought while looking into his crimson red eyes.

"Maka," Soul started, a bit nervous and a little quiet. "I'm so sorry." I was shocked at bit but I let him finish. "I'm sorry I kissed you. You're my friend, my best friend, but I feel something in me that's wants even more. I'm sorry, I know that I probably ruined our friendship, but I need to know if you feel the same way." He said putting his hand on my cheek. I blushed a little at this and tried to look away but he made me look him in the eye. "I love you. I loved you since the day I met you. I was so happy to when you accepted me. I'm glad we're friends, but I want be more. I have to if you feel the same way." He pleaded. I couldn't take it anymore I put my hands on his cheeks and kissed him lightly on his lips. He kissed back and I felt my heart beat even faster. I pulled back and looked at him, a shy smile on my face.

"Me too," I said and his face lighten up a bit. "I felt the same way. I was happy when you accepted me and my past. When you became a friend I could trust. I love you too Soul. I thought if I said something about it, our friendship would fall apart." I felt tears fall down my face and I felt Soul's fingers wipe them away. "I thought that too. I don't want us to fall apart." He said. I hugged me and I hugged back. It felt like the world had stop moving. We were the only two people. "So what does this mean for us?" he asked. "I love you and you love me." I replied. I looked up and saw him smirking at me. He then kissed my nose and which made me giggle. We then heard breaking furniture, Black Star screaming accompanied by Kid's, and laughing. "We should go back." I said. Before I could get away, Soul grabbed my wrist and pulled me close and into a passionate kiss. I kissed back and felt him smirking from in the kiss. When we broke apart Soul was still smirking at me which made me blush.

"Don't think that this discussion is over, sweetheart. My question is still on the table, and I want and answer. So what is the answer?" he said in his cool attitude voice. I blushed but then shook it off and smirked back at him. "Oh don't worry about. Let's just enjoy the rest of night. I think a cool guy like you can wait can't he?" I said. He looked a bit surprised and laughed. He grabbed my waist and pulled me close. "I guess I have to wait, since I'm a cool guy after all." I laughed and felt his hand entwine with mine. With that we went back inside to catch up with our friends. We pretended like nothing happen, though on our way home back to the apartments, Soul pushed me against the door of my apartment. "The answer?" he asked. I shook my head no and he laughed. He then gave me another kiss and he went inside and I went inside. 'I really do love you Soul. Thank you for loving me. And thank you… for being my friend.'

They kissed! Since that is their first kiss I didn't want to make it like that much of a big deal since it was the first. Any way I hoped you liked this chapter update! Spring Break is here so I'll be posting a lot, trust me.
