Soul sat slouched on the sofa with his hands stuffed in his pockets. He felt like he was watching one of those cheap soap operas.
"This is so uncool." he muttered before feeling a sharp jab in his ribs. He turned beside him, met with Maka's sharp glare. "Whatever." he breathed out and slumped down even more then before staying silent.
The group of friends sat in a line on Death The Kid's sofa, awkwardly watching the events of the night play out. The group shifted uncomfortably as the tall woman and Kid glared at each other neither giving up the fight.
"Hmph, their the spotlight in the room, must be trying to upstage me!" BlackStar said crossing his arms unhappily.
"Black Star this really isn't the time." Tsubaki said to him quietly. black Star opened his mouth in the attempt to reply but instantly shut it as the stranger's voice echoed in the room.
"I am their Biological mother..."
the same thought went through in all of the couch's occupants minds "Their...Mother."
Kid's voice yelled loudly in the room and it dragged them all out of their daze. They looked over in the direction of the Thompson sister's Mother and Kid to see the women calmly walk out of the door. Now that they thought about it, the women looked a lot like the two sisters. She was tall and lanky just like Liz was and she had, without all of the makeup, a shocking resemblance to them in her features. But the women's hair was the same as Patty's, her face too.
The room was silent again and nothing but the ticking of a clock from down the hall. Moments passed that seemed to drag on and felt like hours. The poor door that had suffered enough tonight opened slowly again.
The group on the sofa groaned together fearing another visit. Two people came around the corner and to much relief it was Patty with a much soaked Liz behind her.
Kid slowly looked up at them his eyes brightening a little. Liz muttered something incoherent as she looked away with a slight blush on her cheeks.
"What?" Kid asked after not catching anything she said.
"I said, that I was..y'know sorry." Liz said back finally looking at him with a casual shrug of her shoulders. Kid smiled sweetly at her moving towards where they both stood.
"You have nothing to apologize for." He told her. He looked down at his carpet there were now stains on it from ashes and a spilled soda Liz crushed. Except my carpet he thought frowning a bit.
Liz then exploded in a fit of laughter. "You just thought, Except my carpet didn't you?" Liz said her blue eyes filled with amusement. A little of her regular self back. Kid straightened and ignored her statement the color deepening on his cheeks.
"You both are soaked, you should go take a shower and relax upstairs." he told them turning completely around from them. Liz and Patty muffled another fit of laughter at his embarrassment.
"OK Kid-kun we'll be upstairs." Patty said to him between fits of laughter she couldn't keep in. The sisters walked upstairs their footsteps fading. When the sound of the showers running could be heard Kid relaxed his shoulders. He looked around the room and his gaze fell upon his friends.
"Oh right, you're still here." he said absentmindedly.
The rest of the group had the same thoughts in mind that day.
He forgot about us! they sat there looking at him in disbelief.
The hot water from the shower spilled over Liz's body relaxing the tight muscles in her shoulders. She had finally let all of the anger she had been feeling for the last couple of days out of her system. The pure relief of it all made her tired but still happy. She thought back to the disgusted look on her mother's face she had seen when they had brushed by each other near the mansion. Whatever Kid had done after she ran out must have been good, good enough to ruin her Mother's mood. She giggled happily at the thought before slipping into some pajamas still warm from the dryer.
Wait a minute she thought. Am I forgetting something...Nah its probably nothing she reassured herself before slipping on some flip flops and going down the stairs.
"Hey Kid, is there anything to eat?" she called going down towards the living room.
"Didn't you eat anything earlier? It's already 8:30."
"Yes I know that I can read a clock, and no I didn't really eat much today." she said back walking in. She then took a sweep of the room. The carpet had been cleaned already, typical, and the couch...
"Oh I forgot you were here." she said quietly looking at her friends.
"So we've been told." they said with a collective sigh.
"Well, the food has barley been eaten, why don't we sit down and have a some?" Kid said.
"Oooooh I want some, I want some!" Patty said coming behind Liz.
"AH! PATTY! you scared me, stop sneaking up on me like that." Liz said shaking a little.
"Sawwwwyyyy" Patty said back with a slight pout.
Everyone laughed, and things had begun to go back to normal. Liz helped Kid bring the food out to the dining room as everyone else set the large table covered in a black cloth.
"Thank you." Liz said to him.
"For what?" he asked.
"Oh, everything." she said cheerfully, walking ahead to her friends before he could offer a reply, and life was perfect.
The next day at DWMA
"Morning guys" Liz said as she took her usual seat.
"Hey, last night was a lot of fun. I didn't know Kid had it in him to cook so, uh uniquely." Maka said from behind the book she had been reading.
"It was so uncool, let the ladies do the cooking man." soul said with his head on the desk.
"MAKA CHOP!, No comments from the peanut gallery."
"That HURT!" Soul said angrily "MAKA! My head isn't built for your brutality!"
"Men like you should just quietly die somewhere." she replied darkly.
"Oh yeah? And brutal Flat chested women like you should go back to whatever planet you came from!"
"You know what Soul!-
"Come on guys, that's enough stop arguing OK." Tsubaki interrupt kindly trying to keep the two partners from killing each other.
"Don't worry about it Tsubaki, those two have been at it since last night." BlackStar said to his weapon.
"Yeah now you mention it they have been." Liz said watching.
"I wonder why." Tsubaki sighed in defeat.
"Who knows, Soul probably did something stupid again." BlackSar said lamely, cleary uninterested.
"What? That's so uncool, not backing me up, man whats with you BlackStar."
"Oh don't mind me." BlackStar said leaning against his chair.
"BlackStar..." Tsubaki turned her attention to him worried.
Meanwhile Soul and Maka continued their argument.
"What is with you!" Maka said quieting down
"What's with me? What's with you!" Soul countered
"Argh, stop doing that!"
"What?"
"Avoiding every little question!"
"I do not!"
"Oh yes, yes you do."
"Really." he said sheepishly.
"Eh? Whats with that change in attitude? You are seriously acting weird." Maka said sitting down depressed.
BlackStar just continued to sigh in the corner.
"And you too! Why is wrong with the both of you, acting OC!" Maka said turning towards Blackstar, standing again.
"Maka, just sit down" Soul said quietly from his slouched position.
"Fine..."
" Sigh~" BlackStar continued to sulk.
"Sigh" Soul continued to stare at the ceiling like it was the most interesting thing in the world.
Kid came over to his seat after dealing with his, as he said it, 'Shinigami stuff', gave out a sigh as well.
Then after a moment as the girls stared at them they all collectively sighed together. But in the middle of all of this the substitute Teacher that day was at the head of the classroom trying to continue with the lesson. "Um...Guys, class is uh in session you know." he weakly said towards the group.
They settled down reluctantly and the girls exchanged glances of confusion. While unknown to them BlackStar, Soul, and Kid were thinking about the conversation they had yesterday evening...
Flash Back.
Liz began to clean up the table and Patty, Tsubaki, and Maka jumped up to help her. They cleared off as many dishes they could and left to the Kitchen. Now a lone the guys began a small discussion amongst them selves.
"so.. "
"That was good"
"Yup."
"So.."
"Yeah?"
"What made Mr. Shinigami put on an apron? Was it because of a certain weapon Huh? spill it." Soul said to Kid with a smirk across his face.
"W-what are you implying?" Kid blushed a little.
"Man, what are you stuttering about, like some school girl?" BlackStar commented. "Should we get a skirt to match that apron? Pink is really your color!" BlackStar teased him.
"Oh shut it!, It was the only apron we had!" Kid said back loudly red tinting his cheeks.
"Nyahahaha what ever you say man! You sure did look good!" Both Soul and BlackStar were on the floor, laughing loudly at thinking about the memory of Kid in the pink apron with frills. Forced on him when he was filleting the chicken breast.
"Well? When are you going to make your move on her?" Soul said the laughter dying down.
"What? I-I don't know what your talking about!" Kid said back.
"Ah c'mon your living with two girls, practically alone? Make move already, you like Liz right?" Soul continued
"Yeah its written all over that cute face" BlackStar said snickering at him.
"You have no room to talk BlackStar! What about Tsubaki! You live alone with her don't you! And you Soul! Both of you haven't made any advances either." Kid said on the attack.
"Well, that's, don't turn the conversation on us!" Soul said back.
"I'm too godly!" BlackStar exclaimed.
"Idiot, you got balls don't you? Then prove that your a man." Soul said to BlackStar.
"HA! Aren't you preaching to the wrong crowd?"
"I guess we all have had no luck."
"What should we do?"
"Who knows."
*Sigh*
"Soul? BlackStar? Kid?, Hello!" Maka said trying to get their attention. "C'mon its time for lunch."`she said exasperated.
"Oh, right." Soul grumbled before the group stood to leave.
The last bell of the day rang as students rushed to leave. Coming out of their state of depression Soul, Kid, and BlackStar decided to take a chance.
"Hey uh Tsubaki?" BlackStar said nervously to his favorite weapon.
"Yes BlackStar?" She replied looking up at him.
"Do you want to go somewhere tonight, y'know just hang around." BlackStar said scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
"Of course I would!" Tsubaki replied with a sweet smile that made BlackStar's heart quicken.
"Oh good, uh I mean follow your great God home."
"Sure." Tsubaki said giggling a little as she followed him back to their apartment.
On the other side of the room a certain shinigami asked a similar question pointed towards his two weapons.
"Well, I guess, but I don't see how it is REALLY necessary to go out to eat." Liz said not really seeing to hidden motive or importance.
"Don' say that sis! It sooounds like sooo much fun." Patty said cheerfully. "I think Kid-kun is trying to be sweet." she finished mischievously.
Blushing slightly from almost being found out by the younger sister, Kid finalized the plans. "That's that, Tonight precisely at, dare I say, six we will go out to dinner."
"Fine, if you say so." Liz replied feeling a little sleepy.
"Good." Kid said before turning on his heal and heading out, the girls beside him.
Across the room young Soul wasn't having as much luck.
"Hey Maka."
"Hey Soul" Maka said back without looking up.
"Ready?" Soul asked as she gathered her books
"Yeah." She replied heading out.
Both of them walked down Shibusen's large stairs in silence. Soul snuck a glance or two at Maka wondering if he really had made her THAT mad.
"So..Maka I think." Soul said stopping. "We should go out tonight." He finished looking at the sky.
Maka stopped a few steps down and took a minute to look up at him, studying his expression. Soul continued to look up a few seconds past, then a minute. Soul closed his eyes waiting to be rejected until he heard her reply.
"Well, alright." She said quietly before jogging down the steps. Soul's shoulders slumped in relief and looking down at her figure slowly disappearing, he began to follow.
Now that I think about it Tsubaki reminds me of Belldandy from Ah My Goddess.
