A-yo! Sorry for the looooooonnnnngggg break. Yeah, I know it was cruel of me. What? You think I won't do anything to make up for it? Well, bwahahaha, you got it wrong! And since wrong things turn right in this story, yes, you are right. I didn't do anything special… well, except that I have a surprise for you guys and that is! Well, Maka will tell you in the story. It's kinda an author's note that I made Maka say so, you should read it carefully. And, if you're wondering why I've been reviewing in your stories when I should be writing my own… I was procrastinating, I admit! My head nearly exploded with this chapter and I don't even think its good enough!
Anyway, you've waited long enough. Enough yapping for me here! Also, you should definitely answer the AUTHOR'S POLL at the end of the story and, by the way… TO THOSE WHO GAVE A RANDOM WORD LAST CHAPTER, I will be posting the first story together with the next chapter of When Wrong Things Turn Right but, the posting of next chapter all depends on your answer on the AUTHOR'S POLL IN THE END OF THE STORY so please, tell me whether yes or no in your review.

MAKA'S P.O.V.
You know what's wrong with gold fishes? They don't shut their mouths! Every single time they swim, they move, they blink, their mouths keep on closing then opening, then closing again and opening then closing and opening all over and over again! Why do they do that?! And, did you know that the sun is a star? "And men are assholes and cheaters!" Hahaha! That's right! Capital A! Assholes! "Can you imagine? I gave him my fudging virginity! Then, what? He's kissing his ex-girlfriend two days later! Asshole, right?! Is it because she's prettier?! Because she's sexier?! Because she has big tits and I have tiny ones?!"
You know? I feel like drowning right now. Maybe I should tell you a story about a prince and a princess. Do you know about that? What do you mean there are lots of princesses and princes stories?
No… way.
Are you serious?
Then. I've been living a lie all along?
I knew it. I shouldn't trust anybody.

TSUBAKI'S P.O.V.
Uhm, hello. Author-sama is sorry about that.
I will be the one narrating for a while because if we wait for Maka-chan, we'll take forever. So, as you've witnessed, Maka-chan is drunk. She never drank before which is why I'm worried. Liz-chan and Patty-chan are tipsy already. As for me, I think I've got a high alcohol tolerance. But back to the story. You see, earlier, Soul-kun was asking us if we saw Maka-chan. We said we did but that was before she left for wherever she was going. Soul-kun said they had a bit of misunderstanding and asked us to help. Liz-chan, Patty-chan and I tried to look for her but, we didn't find her. We also asked Kid-kun and Black Star to help but still no luck.
After a few tries of calling, I managed to contact Maka-chan and Liz-chan volunteered to get her. But Liz-chan saw her with Hiro-san. Maka-chan said she'll explain when they got here and, they bought some sake.
Maka-chan did explain about what happened. She caught Soul-kun with Blair-san, kissing. Then, she bumped into Hiro-san, you know the story about that. And now, she's all sober here.
"Tsubaki! Don't you think that Soul's an ass? Hurting our Maka like that!" Liz-chan slurred as she slammed that shot glass on the table. We're all on the floor since my house was Japanese-styled.
I simply nodded but, I feel like something is not right. Soul-kun... he has some explanation about all of this, I'm sure of it. I know he loves Maka-chan. He'd do anything for her. I've been one of the people watching the two of them and how their relationship is turning out intently. I knew Soul-kun loves Maka-chan even when Maka-chan herself didn't realize it yet. That's the reason why I had to drop her hints during the time Black Star and I went to their house to tell them their grades.
Maka-chan rest her head on the table. She wasn't moving anymore and we figured that she fell asleep already. Liz-chan sighed while we looked at Maka-chan. "We haven't heard the rest of this." She mumbled, patting Maka-chan's head. Patty-chan was just pouting. Even if she seems hyper all the time, I know that she cares for her friends so much. "There's got to be a reason. I don't believe Soul did that just because he wants to." Even if her words were slurred, she has a point.
I nod at Liz-chan. At least I'm not the only one thinking like that. I'm sure Maka-chan would realize that herself once she is proper. Everything seemed too... movie material. Like a script was being followed. Soul-kun being there and, of all people to call, Maka-chan had to be the one to go there. It's like someone set it up. Blair-san wasn't even from College of Business Management. If I remember right, she was from College of Tourism so, why didn't the president of the Tourism institute go instead of Maka-chan?
Liz-chan and I were in deep thought. Something was definitely wr- oh, Patty-chan took Maka-chan's phone, which has been vibrating non-stop since earlier -ong. Wait a minute. "Soul-kun! Maka's here at Tsubaki's! Haha~"
"PATTY!"
"PATTY-CHAN!"
Liz-chan, being just next to her sister, grabbed Maka-chan's phone and ended the call. "Patty! Why did you do that?" Liz-chan hissed at Patty-chan.
"Sissy! You have questions. Soul-kun has answers. Problem solved!" Patty-chan gave a thumbs up at her sister. While Patty-chan has a point, I'm not sure Maka-chan would appreciate waking up only to see Soul-kun. She did not go home so she would not see him after all.
"Wait." A realization just hit me. "I don't think Soul-kun knows where I live." I mumbled, not knowing if I should be relieved right now or disappointed. Of course, I would like to know Soul-kun's side but, Maka-chan might not want to see Soul-kun. He was very worried earlier and he looked so lost. Even his voice sounded weak and sober. Soul-kun has the right to know where Maka-chan is. Who knows what might be running in his mind. I understand Maka-chan for not answering his calls, not replying to his messages and not telling where she is. She's hurt, devastated even, to see the man she loves with another.
"Oh well. At least he knows that Maka's safe now. That ass. Making Maka cry this much." Liz-chan wiped the tear that escaped from Maka-chan's closed eyelids. She's crying. Even in her sleep, she's in pain. "To think she looked so lively earlier this morning, telling us about her night with Soul." She heaved out a large sigh.
Patty-chan nodded. "Soul-kun should be fed to the giraffes." She said in a dangerously low voice. I rarely see Patty-chan angry but when she is, it's horrifying.
Maka-chan's head shot up, looking around. She grabbed a bottle of sake and drank straight from it. "Damn thing can't put me to sleep." She groaned. We stared at her. Isn't she asleep earlier already?
"Sissy, I didn't think Maka-chan could be a drunkard. Hahaha~" Patty-chan laughed as she continued watching our friend.
Liz-chan and I tried to get the bottle from Maka-chan but, she refused to give it. "Guys! Cool your asses!" Maka-chan started waving her free hand in front of us. The way she spoke clearly says she's drunk. "I can handle it! I'm Maka Albarn! Top of the class since preschool up to now! President of CBM! Heiress of the Albarn Group of Company!" She drank from the bottle. "And I'm going to be an Evans soon! There's nothing I can't handle!" And so, Maka-chan started laughing.
We all stared at her. "Remind me not to get her drunk next time." Liz-chan whispered by my ear. "This girl has a teaspoon-sized alcohol tolerance."
Earlier, she was crying. Now, she's laughing. A second wave, perhaps? I shrugged. "Don't worry, Liz-chan. I might stop her the very moment she lays a hand on any drink that is alcoholic." I mumbled at Liz-chan.
A knock came from the door. I stood up from the floor and saw Black*Star out the window. I opened the door.
"YOUR GOD IS HERE! HAHAHAHA!" Black*Star... loud as ever, shouted the very moment the door opened.
"STAR, DUDE! SHUT IT!" Another one shouted. Soul-kun...
"Chill, bro." Black*Star grinned at Soul-kun then placed an arm around my shoulder. "Soul here asked me where you live. Told I'd be glad accompany him. ISN'T YOUR GOD INCREDIBLY KIND AND AWESOME?!"
I nodded, smiling at Black*Star.
"Where is Maka?" Soul-kun asked, ignoring Black*Star.
"Well, if isn't Soul Eater Evans."
=/=
SOUL'S P.O.V.
I looked at Maka. Her eyes were half closed and she had that smile on her lips. "Maka..."
She laughed, approaching me. Even from afar, I could smell alcohol wreaking out of her. She's drunk... what the hell? "So, how's Blair? Did you two get back together?" She asked me. I felt my heart clench and stop beating at the bitterness of her voice. "We should celebrate!" Maka pulled me by the wrist. I didn't move. Everyone was staring at us. Even Black*Star's silent, for once. "What's wrong, Soul? We're going to have a celebration because you finally got Blair back!"
"Maka, I don't want her back." I said to her. She's drunk though. How could I explain?
"Well, let me guess. You're leaving me? You got what you wanted from me, right? Sex! I knew all men are the same." She let out a bitter laugh. "But I honest to shinigami swear, Soul." She went near me. "I trusted you 'cause I really love you." And she pulled me into a kiss...
...only to faint in my arms afterwards.
"I would be so disgusted if she wasn't drunk right now, bro." Black*Star decided to break the silence. I glared at him. Maka was asleep and I held onto her tightly. "But I see you two have been bangin'."
"Ugh, dude... quit it with the jokes first." I groaned at him.
I saw Patty at the corner of my eye and before I knew it, she kicked me on my shin. If I wasn't holding Maka, I'm pretty sure I'd let myself free fall on the ground. "That's for hurting Maka!" Patty shouted.
I guess I deserve that.
"So..." Liz started, her eyebrow raised at me. "Care to share your side of the story?"
I have to explain myself well or else I might not get out of this house alive. "Its a long story but, to cut it short, its possible that we've been set up so we'd break up."
"Who would do that, Soul-kun?" Tsubaki asked me.
Getting reminded that it was my own father who wanted it done, I felt my blood boil. "My Dad."
"Bro, isn't your Dad the one who wanted the whole marriage thing in the first place?" Black*Star asked me.
"Yeah, but Blair offered to help Dad's company through investing. Apparently, she's an owner of a famous clothing line now. In exchange, I have to date her again. As for the partnership with Maka's family, they want Wes to be the one to marry-" I stopped explaining when Maka moved.
"Soul-kun, it's nearly midnight. Maybe you and Maka-chan should spend the night here. I have futtons that you can use." Tsubaki offered.
"SLUMBER PARTY! Hahaha~" Patty pumped her fist in the air.
The older Thompson sighed. "Good thing we brought our sleeping bag." Liz said.
As much as I wanted to take Maka home, walking would definitely be hard since I'll have to carry Maka on my back. "Thanks, Tsubaki." I grumbled and she went off to get the futtons.
"What about..."
"You can sleep here too Black*Star." Tsubaki said, smiling at the blue-haired monkey. He obviously was waiting for this opportunity. Surely he just used me as an excuse to come here. He's been ranting stuff about Tsubaki not giving him attention lately. I seriously doubt that since with how loud he is, its impossible that he doesn't get attention.
Anyway... I'm just glad that Maka's here with me already. I have to stop thinking of how she'll react to seeing me tomorrow. For now, I'm just thankful I found her. I kissed her forehead. "I'm sorry, Maka."
=/=
"Soul, bro. What do you plan to do with your Dad?" Black*Star asked.
The girls were asleep already. Black*Star and I were drinking that sake that they didn't get to open. "Who knows? I might want to punch him on the face for being the selfish bastard that he is." I replied, drinking my shot of the sake.
I poured sake on Black*Star's shot glass. "Yeah. Can't believe your Dad's being an ass for money." He drank. "But you know, I've never seen you so worried for anything before. Can't believe that of all the hot and sexy girls you dated, it's Maka you end up falling for."
I smirked at him. "Dunno, dude. She's different from others." I glance at Maka who's sleeping peacefully. "Plus, she's not the type who only wants to get in my pants."
"But, she already been there, huh?" Black*Star laughed. Damn it. Maka just had to mention that we've done it already. "I'm thinking she's gonna be in there again soon. Nothing like a good make-up sex." Black*Star patted my shoulder.
I shoved him away, scowling. "Oh we're going to make up alright." I said, drinking the sake. "What about you, dude?"
"What about your God?" He grinned, tapping his nose with his thumb.
Geez, this guy. "When're you gonna ask Tsubaki about it?" I asked him. His face turned red all of a sudden. Heh, the guy gets silent when talking about his feelings. "You know, Tsubaki won't be available forever. Who knows? Maybe she'll meet some guy somewhere then, they'll get along, be together, get married, have some kids, grow old toge-"
"Shut up bro! That'll never happen!" Black*Star growled, holding me by my shoulders.
I groaned, calming him down. "Chill dude. M'just sayin'." I pushed him back down to sit on the floor. "Make your move already, dude."
Black*Star smirked, lying down the ground. "Bro, you should worry about your problem first before you mind mine."
I sighed. He's right. I've got my own problems to face.
Skipping Black*Star's fucktard moments, he finally fell asleep. I went next to Maka. She still wreaks from the sake. I should never, ever, let her drink without me. What'll happen tomorrow? Would she forgive me? "Don't let them break us, Maka. Trust me, I swear its just you." I lied next to her. "Love me. Don't let go." I held her hand and let myself fall asleep.

MAKA'S P.O.V.
My head hurts... what the heck happened? Oh, hey. Good morning. 'This is supposed to be a new chapter but, meh... let's continue', author-sama just wanted me to say that.
Uhm, moving on...
Ouch... what is up with this headache? I think this is err... hang over? Anyway, is it just me or, are these arms around me? And this masculine scent... I know this too well.
I looked up to find Soul, asleep. What is he doing here?! Oh my Shinigami... I'm pretty sure drinking with the girls and everything else that happened isn't just a dream. This headache more than proves that it isn't.
Then... why is Soul with me? Soul stirred and I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep immediately. He moved and I had to fight the urge to push him away when he kissed my forehead. "I'm sorry, Maka." He said.
"It would be better if you tell that to her awake face." That voice... Liz? Where are we? "I'll wish you luck now though. She tends to get violent."
Soul probably sat up since I don't feel him next to me anymore. I felt him pat my head though. "I'd deal with anything to be forgiven." He told her.
Is it just me or do I feel Liz staring at me? "I know, it's weird to ask you this but, you better answer this question. I don't care if you're an Evans and that Maka loves you 'cause I'mma make you bury your own grave and push you in it if you try pulling stunts on Maka." Liz paused, probably giving Soul a death glare. "You do love Maka, right?" She asked.
Another pause. "I do. I fucking love her so much that I'm mad at myself for making her cry. I'd do anything for her, Liz." Soul said. "And this is so uncool, telling you this."
I hate the fact that he makes my heart skip beats and flutter so easily. I hate it that with just a few words, the barrier I've been trying to build came crashing down. It's stupid since he might just be lying. My mind's telling me not to believe but, my heart's plea to listen to him and believe his words are stronger.
"It's worth it." I heard Liz mumble. "I hope that enlightens you Maka. And girl, you better take acting classes if you want me to believe you're asleep. Get'cha ass up when you're done eavesdropping." And, I heard footsteps.
THAT LIZ! Oh my Shinigami... I decide to just continue to sleep. I may be a bad actress but, I stick up to it. "Maka, don't drink ever again. You wreak alcohol." Soul whispered. Way too embarrassing!
"Good morning, Soul-kun." That's Tsubaki's voice. Did we all sleep here? I was too drunk and I can't remember. What did I do? What if I did something embarrassing or said something that's not meant to be said? This is just too much. Remind me never to drink again.
"Hahaha~ Black*Star looks funny while asleep!" Patty laughed. Black*Star's here too? What is going on?
I heard Soul groan. "Don't wake him up. He's not a morning person. Trust me, I know." He muttered.
I wish I could just sleep again. Please put me to sleep! I tried relaxing but I just can't. I feel like sinking into a hole right now just so I won't have to wake up to this awkward situation.
"I'm still mad at you for making Maka cry. Don't think we're okay, buddy... we're not." That's Patty's 'scary' voice.
"I'm guilty, okay? But how many times do I have to explain myself? I told you, she kissed me an-"
"REASONS!" Patty shouted and, I heard a gasp from Soul.
Wait, that's not gasping. "Haah... P-Patty... Do... Don't k-kill me!"
He sounded like he's being strangled and knowing Patty, she has the capability to do that. She might choke him to death! "Patty!" I sat up, looking around only to see Patty holding Soul by the neck.
As soon as I shouted, she let go of Soul. "Now you can talk since Maka's finally stopped fake sleeping, hihi~." Patty laughed.
Liz sighed, rubbing her face with her palm. "Well, since your act's over, maybe we could go buy some food for breakfast since we already missed the morning session of our graduation practice anyway." She told us. "Tsubaki, can you grab Black*Star too?"
AH! No, no, no, NO! "I'm going with you!" I raised my hand before stumbling to get up. Guys, don't do this to me, please!
"Albarn, your ass will stay in this house." Liz glared at me. I saw Soul standing up but then, Liz glared at him too. "You too, Evans." She pointed him. He immediately sat down on the floor again. Liz really is scary when she's mad. Patty is too. The Thompsons are great friends but really bad foes... I'm glad I'm on the 'friends' side.
And so, Liz, Patty and Tsubaki left. Since Tsubaki couldn't wake Black*Star up, Liz decided to drag him out of the house.
Another 'and so', I'm left. With Soul. Just. The. Two. Of. Us. Dear goodness, HELP!
Soul wasn't looking at me. He was still sitting down on the floor, his gaze on his hands which were clasped together on his lap. "I know, I shouldn't waste the opportunity that Liz and the others made for me but," He stopped, running a hand through his hair. "I'd rather you hear it when you're really ready to listen. I don't want to just insist my explanation to you for you to accept with doubts, Maka. I want you to accept it wholeheartedly." He said, breaking the silence. "All I want to say is that I love you. Only you." He looked at me, our eyes meeting. I saw honesty in his eyes that moment. Also, I saw pain, sadness and guilt.
I'm thankful that it came from him though. I didn't want him pestering me about listening to him because I'll only question him and he won't be able to talk because I'm on a roll. I have to let my anger subside a bit. I looked away since I felt like I was glaring at him.
"I figured you might have a hang over from your drinking session last night so, I got you some pain reliever and medicine for it. Its on the table." Soul wasn't looking at me anymore. He was back at staring at his hands. "I also asked Tsubaki if she could lend you some clothes so you can change. She said you have some of your clothes here from your past sleepovers. She also said that you should take a shower. The clothes are already in her bathroom."
To think that he's being responsible to even prepared everything, how can I not see his sincerity? Maybe I should forgive him?
But then, there's my brain who keeps refusing to give in. Why do the brain and the heart always have to oppose each other?! My head hurts even more now and it's not just because of my hangover anymore.
I stood up from the futton and went to the table to drink the medicine Soul prepared for me. I watched him from the corner of my eye. He seemed so down, I had to fight the urge to hug him. I shook my head and went to the bathroom.
I'm glad I left some of my clothes here in Tsubaki's house. I smell bad. I'm never, ever, drinking again. Well, maybe I would but... not to the point that I'll be drunk. What did I do last night?
Stripping my clothes off, I heard a loud sound that seemed like something hit the wall. What was that? I was about to peek when I heard Patty's laugh and Black*Star's rant.
"Easy, dude!" Was the next thing I heard from Black*Star.
"Looks like it didn't go well." Liz said. "Where is she?" Soul didn't answer but I figured that he pointed the bathroom. "Oh, I see."
"Let me get the first aid kit." That was Tsubaki. What happened?
"Bro, that is not cool." Black*Star said.
I felt tears rolling down my cheeks. I want to be the one to scold Soul for whatever stupidity he did. I want to be the one to treat him. I want to be there for him. I stepped in the shower and as soon as the cold droplets of water hit me, I couldn't hold back my cries anymore. If only it was easy to forgive. I hope you don't blame me for being like this. I'm traumatized by my Papa's womanizing that I fear that Soul might be just like him. Especially now that I saw him with Blair. I'm scared of being betrayed, of being hurt, of being left behind.
I have to face him somehow.

It was silent when we ate breakfast. Well, nearly lunch since it's 10:30 already. I couldn't help but notice that Soul's right hand was bandaged. "So, do you plan on going to school for the graduation practice?" Liz broke the silence.
"No. A GOD LIKE ME DOES NOT NEED TO PRACTICE!" Black*Star laughed but since he saw Liz, Patty and even Tsubaki glare at him, he covered his mouth to stop his laugh.
"I'm going home." Soul stood up. I only looked at him as he stared at the floor. "Thanks for the help, guys." He looked at me and our gazes met but he looked away immediately. "Take care." He mumbled before turning his back on us and heading for the door.
And he was gone.
"He's really mad at himself." Black*Star said, sighing. "I gotta make sure that my peasant does not do any stupid stuff! THAT'S HOW AWESOME OF A GOD I AM!" And, he ran out the door.
But, he came running back in then grabbed his unfinished burger and Soul's unopened one. He noticed that I haven't touched mine. "You gonna eat that?" He asked me.
"No." I'm pretty sure I'm looking at him with the most dumbfounded expression I ever had.
"Cool." He smiled, stuffing his burger in his mouth so he could hold on both Soul's and my burger. "Thee uw wapuh!" He said, running out again.
Everyone was silent again after that random Black*Star moment. I sighed. "Sorry for the trouble guys." I apologized.
They just shrugged. "What are friends for?" Tsubaki smiled at me.
"Soul's really sorry, Maka." Liz looked at me. "Hear him out."

SOUL'S P.O.V.
"Bro, you're not thinking straight. YOU SAID YOU'RE GONNA GO HOME AND YOU'RE HERE! LET YOUR GOD ACCOMPANY YOU!" The fuckin' fucktard shouted, chomping down his third burger. I don't know where the fuck he got the idea that I'll commit suicide.
I was sitting on the edge of the wall dividing the basketball court from the park when Black*Star shouted at me saying that I shouldn't give up and that I should get down because there's still hope. When I asked him what the fuck he was talking about, he said I shouldn't kill myself.
"Dude! I'm not trying to die! I just want to think! Quit shouting that I'll commit suicide! This is uncool!" I growled at Black*Star since the people in the court stopped playing just to see what the commotion's about. "Besides, this wall is fucking not the best place to commit suicide! Even if I fall from here, I won't even break any bone!" I added.
"You'll see how dangerous what you're doing is! I'll prove it!" And, you know what the fucktard did? He jumped and pushed me off the wall forcefully.
"FUCK, STAAAR!" I landed face first.
"See how dangerous it is?! YOU SHOULD THANK YOUR GOD FOR MAKING YOU REALIZE! HAHAHAHA!" Great brain this guy has. Sometimes... scratch that. Most of the time, I wonder why he's my bestfriend.
I sat up and wiped my face only to wince at the pain on my right cheek. "Fuck you, Black*Star." I gritted my teeth when I saw blood on my palm. I got cut on my cheek.
"Quit whining, slave! It's just a cut!" The things I go through in just a day... Patty kicks my shin, my knuckles are bruised since I punched a concrete wall, Black*Star pushes me off the wall, I got a scratch on my cheek from falling face first and the most painful of them all: Maka's still angry at me. That sucks the spirit out of me. The way she glared at me earlier, she looked so angry, disgusted even, at me.
I just stood up. The will to beat the living shit out of the blue-haired monkey gone. All I wanna do is go home and wait. "Whatever, dude. I'm gonna go home." I grunted, ruffling my hair to get the dirt off.
"Maka's just hurt, bro." Black*Star said, making me stop walking off. "She loves you. Just give her time. You'll work it out. Don't worry, I'll make sure she'll go home."
Why is Black*Star my bestfriend?
"Thanks dude."
Because of times like this.

Cloud's the only one who welcomed me home. Well, I'd be surprised if there's someone else.
This house seemed too big when I first got here but, it actually felt like home when Maka's here. Now that its just me, it feels so big, like it's going to eat me up. Cloud barked at me. "I know, boy. You must be so hungry. Sorry 'bout that." I picked him up and went to the kitchen. When I put him down, he sat in front of his feeding bowl. I poured the dog food and some milk on it and he started to eat it.
"The house feels empty without Maka, don't you think?" I asked Cloud. He only looked at me and whined. I pat his head and he continued eating. "I'm going upstairs." I sighed.
My body felt so heavy as I climbed the stairs. When I got in the room and sat on the bed, I couldn't help but think. Would Maka come home today? Will she listen to me? What if she wants to break up with me? Will I let her go? If I do, will I get to move on?
Too much negative thoughts. Gotta get 'em off my head. I was about to stand up when the door opened. I was caught in between of feeling happy and feeling nervous. I looked by the door and saw Maka, panting.
"How could you do that?!" She shouted. Oh no... She looked so mad.
"Maka, I can expla-"
"Jumping off a wall?! Commiting suicide?! Do you know how worried I was?! Do you think I can forgive you if you die?! What were you thinking, jumping off a wall like that?! If you died, I swear I'm gonna get you from hell and bring you back to life and I'm gonna kill you for trying to end your life!" Maka's mouth went rapid fire. Suicide? Where did I hear that before?
Right.
Black*Star.
He's so gonna get his godly ass beaten.
"Are you insane, Soul? Do you really like hurting me, making me cry, huh?!" Oh, great... Maka's crying because of me again. I stood up and she leaned her head against my chest. "I hate you!" She started hitting me on my chest. "I hate you! I hate you! I really, really hate you!"
Now Maka's beating me up. Oh well, at least she's talking to me again. I felt hesitant to wrap my arms around her but, I still did. Her hands dropped to her sides then, later on, wrapped around my waist.
I've never felt so content in my life. "Maka, I don't know what Black*Star told you but, I wasn't trying to kill myself." I mumbled. She raised her head to look at me. "The fucktard pushed me off the wall to prove his point that sitting on the wall by the basketball court was dangerous." I explained to her.
"UGH! THAT STUPID GOD-WANNABE!" She groaned. "Saying that he stopped you from jumping off the wall! He's so anno- what happened to you?!" Maka held me on my cheeks. I flinched when she touched my wound. "Soul, you're cut!" She pushed me to sit back down the bed. "Wait here. I'm going to get something." She instructed, leaving me on the bed.
Eh... now, I don't know what's running inside that genius brain of hers. It seems like she's too worried about me that the whole Blair issue subsided.
Maka returned carrying a white box and a cup of water then, sat on her side of the bed. "Face here." She ordered. I just did what I was told. "You're so troublesome, did you know that?" Maka sighed, opening the box. She got a cotton and dipped it slightly in the cup with water. She gently damped it around my cut on my cheek. She was looking intensely at it. "Seems like your wound's not that deep." She mumbled before withrawing her hand. She placed the cotton on what seemed like a small cap. Then, she got the tube of antibiotic cream, squeezed it and placed the cream on a finger. Maka leaned closer, one hand on my lap.
She carefully touched my wound with her finger with the antibiotic cream. "Ouch!" I yelped when the sudden sting assaulted me.
Maka slapped my forehead with her palm. "Don't shout like it hurts so bad!" She scolded. "That pain is nothing compared to what I'm feeling." Maka grumbled, looking away for a brief moment then looking back at me.
I fell silent after that. Leave it to Maka when it comes to guilt-tripping. She continued applying the antibiotic cream on my cut. We were both silent. The only thing that can be heard were our breathing and my occational hiss when Maka applies too much pressure on my cut. "The girls insisted I hear you out." She started, still damping the ointment on my cut as if she's poking me repeatedly. Was it necessary to put that much? I think not. She's probably daydreaming but, I guess, I'll just let her do what she feels like doing to at least, lessen the awkwardness. "So, I'm ready to listen." Maka said in a quiet voice.
Sighing, I closed my eyes. "I didn't want Blair back. She wanted me. She made a deal with Dad and, Dad... the selfish ass... he wants us to break up." I explained as I watched her get a band-aid from the kit. "She kissed me. I didn't kiss her. Maka, it was all a set up. Please, don't let them break us up. Maka, plea- OUCH!" I hissed when she reached out and stuck the band-aid on my cut.
"That's what you get for keeping secrets from me!" Maka shouted before running a finger on the band-aid harshly so it would stick. "And that's for thinking I'll leave you!" She glared at me. "I hate the fact that I also get hurt just from getting angry at you! I hate that every word you say makes my heart flutter! I hate it that I can't stay mad at you! It hurts, Soul!" And again, Maka's crying.
I gathered her in my arms and kissed her forehead. "I'm so sorry, Maka." I whispered, tightening my arms around her. "I love you." I kept on whispering repeatedly in her ear.
"Soul..." Maka held me by the collar of my shirt. I looked down on her and she pulled me down for a kiss. It was a brief moment but the relief I felt was priceless. I've never felt so thankful in my life. "Don't hide things from me, please. I don't want to regret trusting you."
Trust...
I tried telling her but, I guess I was the one who lacked the trust. I didn't trust her enough in trusting me. I was scared that she'll doubt me and in the end, it went bad. Too bad, that it almost tore us apart. I nodded, pulling her down with me so we'd lie on the bed.
"And, in return, I'll do the same." Maka seemed hesitant. She's clearly not finished yet. "I was with Hiro-kun yesterday."
"WHAT?!" I almost sat up but Maka pulled me back down.
"It's not like I did something that I shouldn't do with him. Unlike a certain guy here." She mumbled the last part but I easily caught it.
"Are you planning to guilt trip me for the rest of the day?" I scowled at her. "Seriously, Maka, if you want to beat me up with a book, I'd take it. Just don't do this to me."
"I'm just saying."
We both fell quiet after that. Maka just stayed in my arms. Then, after a while, she broke her silence. "Hiro-kun was nice. He made me smile and brought me to the arcade then, got me some ice cream." As she said those things to me, I felt my arms around her loosening on their own. Why is she telling me these? Is she going back to him? Fuck, it hurts... "I was happy with him yesterday." I distanced myself but Maka wrapped an arm around me and pulled herself close. "Still, I couldn't get you out of my head and thinking about you leaving me hurts so much. I trusted you when I promised myself I'll never trust a man ever."
As soon as she said that, I tightened my arms around her. Like what I've said earlier, its not an issue of whether she trusts me. The issue is that I didn't trust her when it came to trusting me. I thought she might doubt me, that she might get mad. What I didn't figure out was she really gave her trust to me and I screwed up. I'm the only one to blame. "I'm sorry for not telling you about it, Maka." I kissed her on the forehead. "You should know that I won't leave you for Blair or for anyone else by now, Maka."
"No more secrets, please." She pleaded, looking into my eyes. I nodded, leaning my forehead against hers. "And, I've never opposed my parents or yours until now. I think its time they stop trying to control us. Please, don't let them break us apart, Soul."
I kissed her on the lips. "Never, Maka. I promise."
I know, I know... She forgave me too fast. That only proves that she trusts me that much. Damn Dad for trying to break us up. Damn Blair for kissing me.
Still, the most damned one is me. Damn myself for falling for their trap. I'm weak.
"I love you, Soul."
But Maka, and her forgiving heart, still accepted me despite me being weak. Sometimes, I wonder if I deserve someone with such a kind soul as Maka. Deserving or not, I'll fight for her because,
"I love you too, Maka."
and that's the greatest reason of all. Love.
She kissed me and I kissed her.
You know what happens next.
Make. Up. Sex.
