"She wants strawberry!"

"No. Regular."

Maka honestly didn't know why these things always happened to her.

"Who the hell likes regular?"

"I do."

"Well, she doesn't!"

Sure, it'd been sweet, albeit slightly awkward, when all of the boys in Shibusen, even Black Star, had suddenly started acting much nicer to her. The flowers she'd started getting weekly had been even sweeter.

"How do you know?"

"I'm her partner! And that means I know that she likes strawberry best!"

Then Soul had started blushing more often in her presence and had developed a weird twitch whenever a boy looked in her direction. And Kid had started staring at her a lot, which just made Soul's twitch worse.

"There is no possible way to eat a strawberry symmetrically!"

And then her classmates even started asking her out! Which wasn't something Maka had really ever dealt with before (and she still thanked her lucky stars every day that Black Star had excused himself from that little activity.)

"Well she's not the one who loves symmetry, is she!"

"Then explain her hair."

And then Kid himself had asked her if she wanted to get crêpes with him.

"The pigtails keep it out of her face during a battle, and it was the style that her Mom always said looked best on her."

Then, right after that, Soul had asked if she wanted to go to the park with him.

"That's sweet."

"It's still not because of symmetry. And stop changing the topic."

So here she was. In the park, in front of a crêpe stand, with two of her best friends, being argued over like she wasn't there, and neither of them seemed very happy with the other.

"I'm not."

"Are too!"

"Are not."

Frankly, she was really starting to regret leaving all of her books at home.

"We're not on topic right now, because you changed it!" Soul continued stubbornly.

"Well, I think you changed it." Kid returned and brushed imaginary dirt off of his shirt.

"Don't I get an opinion?" Maka asked lightly.

"Two strawberries, one regular." Soul turned suddenly to the vender, who looked relieved that they were finally ordering and may hopefully leave soon, ignoring Maka and successfully changing Kid's nonchalant expression into instant annoyance.

The girl sighed, apparently she did not.

"He meant two regulars, one strawberry."

"No, I meant-!"

"You know what, I feel like ice-cream instead." Maka abruptly reached foreword to grab a stunned Soul's hand, that he had raised to point at Kid, before he could protest, then quickly did the same for the sulky shinigami on her other side. A moment later, bright red spread across both their faces and they looked at bit shamed at their actions.

"O-okay…" Soul muttered first, looking away but tightening his hand in Maka's at the same time.

"Whatever you wish." Kid put in a second later, giving the blonde a small smile. It brightened a bit when she returned it, then faded again when she turned to gave one to Soul as well. Maka was glad that she resolved the argument peacefully.

Of course, she did chose to ignore the way they continued to glare at each other for the rest of the night.

The crêpe vender was just relieved to see the back of them.

Finally! Got! This! One! Done!

Thank you Rozale for reviewing! And to the ones who alerted/favved! *bows*

For the first time ever I'm asking you guys now, please review! Tell me about how much you hate the coupling and how OOC they are! Whatever! It just really puts me down when only one or two people care enough to give some feedback.

P.s. No, I cannot confirm if there is a 'regular' flavored crê pe, I've never had crê pe s.
