MusicMaker87: Hey guys! This one should be interesting. It's also a bit different from what I'm used to, but it shouldn't be too hard. I apologize if this isn't that great!

This is a KiliKa, or a MaKilik. Kilik X Maka ! Suggested by Anna114!

Epi. 14: Taking chances

Normal POV_

Kilik and Ox walked down the stairs in the DWMA. Suddenly, they saw Maka and Soul, talking by their lockers. Kilik sighed.

"What's wrong?" Ox asked.

"It's nothing," Kilik said, "Just a little tired is all."

Ox stopped him, "I'm not an imbecile, Kilik, I know something is up. Tell me."

Kilik sighed again, "It's Maka, ok?"

"What about her?" Ox asked.

"I.. kind of like her," Kilik said.

"Well, then go talk to her," Ox said, pushing him towards Maka.

"No!" Kilik whispered loudly, "I can't. She's probably with Soul anyway. I don't wanna do anything that will mess up their relationship."

Ox shook his head, "They aren't in a relationship, Kilik. Just go and talk to her. It's easy, watch."

Maka was about to leave with Soul when Ox came up behind her and said, "Hello Maka."

"Oh, hey Ox, what do you want?" Maka asked.

"Nothing, nothing... I'm not here to gloat about my intellectuality being better than yours. I'm just here to say hello," Ox said.

Maka just pouted and walked away.

"That was not cool," Soul said quietly.

Ox strolled back to Kilik, who looked even more depressed than before.

"See? It's easy," Ox said.

"But.. wasn't that a bit harsh?" Kilik asked.

"What?" Ox asked.

"Never mind, let's just get to class," Kilik said.

During lunch time ~~~ Normal POV_

Kilik and Ox sat at the table with their weapon partners, but Kilik couldn't help but to stare at his crush as she walked through the door.

"Kilik?" Ox got his attention.

"Wh- what?" he stuttered.

"What makes you so attracted to her anyways?" Ox asked.

"Wait, attracted to who?" Harvard asked as he took a bite of his sandwich.

"Oh, Kilik likes Maka," Ox said. Kilik put his head down in his folded arms.

"Didn't see that coming," Harvard laughed, "I always thought you had a thing for Jacqueline."

"No... I don't even know anymore," Kilik said, his head still in his arms.

"Hey, you don't have to feel bad about it. No one's judging you," Harvard said, patting his back.

Kilik looked up at him, "I know... But... it's probably never gonna happen."

Harvard's brows furrowed, "Man, you gotta give it a try at least. You should ask her out. You can't know for sure until you do something about it."

"But-" Kilik started, but Harvard interrupted, "It's all about taking chances. She's just a few tables down, so why don't you go talk to her?"

"Well..." Kilik gulped, "Ok..."

He got up slowly.

Why the heck am I acting so shy? Maka and I are friends, right? I should act more casual, Kilik thought to himself as he slowly walked over to Maka's table. The room was so crowded, he kept bumping into people as they got up to throw away something or to get another milk.

Once he finally reached their table, the bell rang. Maka immediately stood up and walked right past him. His head sank as he walked back to his friends.

"Today's just... not my day," Kilik said.

In class ~~~ Normal POV_

Kilik sat a few rows behind Maka. He couldn't even pay attention anymore. She was just so smart, so strong, and so beautiful.

Suddenly, the teacher's words ringed in his ears: "... there will be a test tomorrow, so be sure to study all of the notes I've given you up to today. You should do fine."

Suddenly, the bell rang.

"Class is dismissed." Stein said.

School was over. Kilik didn't know what else to do, so he ran straight for Maka. She was almost out the door when she felt a poke on her shoulder.

She turned around and saw Kilik.

"Oh, hey Kilik. What's up?" Maka asked.

"Umm... I was wondering, if maybe, you'd like to... um... study together?" Kilik stuttered.

Maka was silent for a while, making Kilik even more nervous.

Then she smiled, "Sure. I'd love too. I'll meet you at the park in an hour, ok?"

"Yeah, ok, cool," Kilik said.

Maka giggled and waved, "Bye."

"Bye," he replied.

Harvard came up behind him and patted his back, "Just take it slow, ok. No pressure."

Ox smiled and said, "Just remember she is an intellect. Not as smart as I am, but pretty close."

"Ok, guys. I know what I'm doing. I have to go wash up, see ya!" Kilik waved and ran off to his house with his little weapon partners.

About an hour later, the two met up at the park.

"So, I thought we'd start in this section first," Maka said as they sat on the bench together. They were so close, Kilik could smell her hair. He was love drunk.

"Yeah, sure, ok," he said unconsciously.

Maka asked him a question from her notes.

"What?" Kilik asked, being shaken from his thoughts.

Maka giggled again and repeated her question.

He gave an answer.

"Yup," she nodded.

"Cool... so Maka.. I-" he started, but she interrupted him, "I'm glad you asked me to study with you."

"Yeah," he laughed nervously, "Me too."

Then he cleared his throat.

"Maka. I have to tell you something," he said firmly.

"What is it?" she asked.

"I... I didn't do this because I wanted to study with you... I did this because I wanted to spend more time with you," he said.

"Aw, that's sweet, Kilik," Maka said.

"But... there's more..." Kilik sighed.

"I.. I like you Maka... I really like you a lot. I wanna get to know you better. I just..." he started, but then she interrupted him, "Kilik... I know."

"Wait what?" Kilik asked.

"I already know you like me. It's kinda obvious..." she smiled.

"Oh.." he said.

"It's ok, Kilik, I like you too," Maka said.

"But you don't understand... it's not just like... I love you Maka," he said.

Maka blushed.

"I'm sorry.. It's ok if you say no, I understand." he said.

"Kilik... I love you too..." she said softly.

"Really? You're not just saying it?" he asked.

She shook her head.

"I always thought you had a thing for Soul," he said.

"I did... but I have a thing for you now," she laughed.

He laughed too.

Then she grabbed his hands and pulled him into a kiss.

His eyes widened for a moment, but then he closed them. The kiss lasted only about ten seconds before Maka pulled away.

"Now, we should probably get back to studying," Maka said.

"Oh, yeah," he laughed.

MusicMaker87: AGHHHH THAT WAS SOOO FLUFFY AND MRAAAHHH! I apologize if it wasn't that great. I'll try better next time! I hope you guys liked it though, I really tried. I'm also sorry for the OOCness of some of the characters. XP But it was an ok story, right?
