A/N: well… here we are. The last official chapter! LADIES AND GENTELMEN, ARE. YOU. READY. FOR. THE FLUFF!!!!???? *crowd goes wild*
I was dreaming of the past…
…And my heart was beating fast…
I began to lose control. I began to lose control…
Soul tossed and turned on his sleeping mat. He didn't get any sleep last night. After his fight with Jason, he had gone directly back to BlackStar and Tsubaki's place without telling anybody. This was because he really didn't want to talk with anybody. When walked in their apartment, he had gone directly to bed.
Soul was tired and decided he wanted time to himself to think things through. He was glad the apartment was quiet for once. Maybe he could rid of his excruciating head ache.
I didn't mean to hurt you…
I'm sorry that…
I made you cry…
I didn't want to hurt you…
I'm just a…Jealous guy.
But in the morning, this dream was instantly shattered when the door bell rang. He groaned impatiently and buried his head into his pillow. Whoever that was at the door better not make a lot of noise or heads would roll.
"Coming!" he heard Tsubaki call from the living room where she was with BlackStar.
Soul didn't even bother caring. All he wanted to do was sleep.
I was feeling insecure…
You might not love me....
Anymore…
He heard Tsubaki unlock the door and open it. Soul covered his ears with the pillow trying to block out the sound of talking. All of a sudden, he felt someone shake his shoulder. He opened his eyes only to see Tsubaki kneeling above him with a happy smile.
"It's for you." She said simply then walked out of the room, back to the living room.
"For me?" Soul asked no one in particular.
I was shivering inside…
I was shivering inside….
Soul got out of the sheets he was tangled in. He walked out of the dining room where he had been sleeping, into the hall way that lead to the door.
But he stopped dead in his tracks when he saw who was standing in the door way.
The one and only Maka Albarn stood there with a pleasant smile.
"Maka…" Soul mumbled out.
I didn't mean to hurt you…
I'm sorry that…
I made you cry…
I didn't want to hurt you…
I'm just a…Jealous guy.
"Good morning, Soul." She said. Her face held no makeup, and her hair was tied in two low pigtails.
"Wh-what are you doing here?"
"Oh, you know, just stopping by for a visit." She said modestly.
"Oh…So, where's Jason?" Soul was afraid to ask for some reason.
Maka's smile stayed but her eyes turned sad as she looked down.
"It seems…Jason wasn't all cracked up as he seemed to be."
"Oh." Soul didn't know what to say to that. He knew he couldn't rub it in her face, but saying he was sorry about that didn't just seem right either.
Maka shook her head a little and looked back up, happy expression back in place. She walked into the home, remembering to take her shoes off first. He caught her staring out of the corner of her eye, down the hall way that lead to the living room. He turned to where she was looking and saw Tsubaki and BlackStar peeking around the corner, when they saw him look, they disappeared behind the wall hastily.
Soul couldn't help the sigh that escaped his lips.
"Do you want to go into the dining room? Maka asked him.
"Yeah, sure."
I didn't mean to hurt you…
I'm sorry that…
I made you cry…
I didn't want to hurt you…
I'm just a…Jealous guy.
Maka started walking into the dining room, Soul following suit.
When they reached their destination, Maka turned to face Soul and they seemed to just stare at each other for what seemed like hours.
Soul didn't know what to do nor say, her gaze was distracting him from all thought. Maka took a long breath and looked down.
"I'm sorry." She said.
"I should be apologizing too."
"No!" she snapped, gaining his full attention. "Don't apologize. This is my fault."
"Don't put all the blame on you, Maka. I should have ended this when it first started, but I just kept running away."
"Well,"
"No." It was Soul's turn to cut her off. "I am just as much to blame as you. Please understand."
Maka bit her lip and nodded.
I was trying to catch your eyes…
Thought that you were trying to hide…
I was swallowing my pain…
I was swallowing my pain…
They stayed in silence for a few moments before Maka shut her eyes tight and took a few steps towards him until she was right in front of him.
Maka wrapped her arms around his back and hugged him tight.
"I'm sorry." She said again.
"Hey, what I say? Don't apologize." Soul wrapped one of his own arms around her back, and one behind her head. "I should have done a better job protecting you."
I didn't mean to hurt you…
I'm sorry that…
I made you cry…
I didn't want to hurt you…
I'm just a…Jealous guy.
Maka merely nodded against his chest and held him tighter.
They stood this way for some time, but to Maka, it went incredibly fast.
The silence was finally broken when Soul scoffted and spoke, "Tsk, Jason was un-cool, anyway."
Maka was sure this statement was supposed to be a serious one, but she could help but burst out in laughter. He'll never change.
She looked up at him, who had on his sly, toothy smile.
"Oh, and I suppose you are?" she laughed out.
I'm just a Jealous guy…
"Hell yeah" He said confidently.
Maka just laughed and hugged him tighter.
I'm just a Jealous guy…
Soul didn't know what just happened, but he wasn't complaining. He had Maka back, and he was going to make sure he didn't let loose her ever again
But, their tender moment alone didn't last long. They were in BlackStar's home after all.
"Aw, come on! Just kiss already!"
"BlackStar! Be quiet!"
Soul and Maka turned to see BlackStar tumbling into the door way. "Ouch…" he grumbled, holding his head.
Tsubaki appeared after. "BlackStar, I said be to be quiet! The 1st rule of the assassin, remember?"
"Oh, yeah…"
Soul's eye twitched as he sighed. But smiled when he saw Maka's laughing face. She looked up at him and a warm smile washed over her features.
"Let's go home." She said.
"I wouldn't want anything less."
Soul grabbed the black garbage bag that was lying in the corner and went back over to Maka.
She took his hand in hers and led him out.
BlackStar and Tsubaki moved out of the doorway to let them pass.
"We'll see you guys later." Tsubaki waved them off.
"Yeah, have fun you guys! And remember to use protection- OUCH! Hey watch it, woman." BlackStar whined as Tsubaki hit him over the head "I was only joking…."
Maka giggled under her breath and Soul just rolled his eyes as they made their way out of the apartment.
Soul couldn't wait to get home.
I'm just a Jealous guy.
