New update, thanks to the few of you who wrote reviews! Again, I don't want to be a beggar but I would love a review or two;) anyways here is the action I promised you, enjoy!
…..
Maka groggily awoke to the sound of the sharp beeping of her alarm clock. She didn't even have time to wonder how she got in bed before she was grabbing her clothes and heading towards the bathroom to take a shower.
As she passed Soul's room she burst through the door to find her weapon snoring loudly and drooling slightly.
"Soul, wake up you dumbass, we have a mission and we're late!" she yelled. It was at this point when Soul flew out of bed and Maka realized that Soul was lacking… undergarments.
Maka squeaked and slammed his door before continuing to the bathroom. Her cheeks were flushed as she leapt into the shower. She was embarrassed, more so when she realized how big Soul was. And what was this heat growing in between her legs?
The water turned to ice as she tried to purge herself of gross thoughts. She didn't have time for this, they had to be at the airport and they were, of course, late as always.
Maka was shoveling toast into her mouth as Soul shuffled his way into the kitchen. At least he's dressed, thought Maka as she thrust the toast she made for Soul in his direction.
"Soul I packed our bags last night, good thing to," huffed Maka after gulping down her milk. "And we are still talking about what happened yesterday," squeaked Maka angrily as she stomped to her room to collect her bags from the floor of her room.
Soul quietly collected his bag and he went down to his motorcycle to wait for Maka.
….
The ride to the airport was tense and less than pleasant. The only words Soul had said to Maka about last night was a gruff "Sorry."
Maka felt that Soul's body was tense the entire ride, like he didn't want her arms around him. She honestly felt hurt and confused so when they finally came to a stop she hopped off the bike and ran to her friends who were waiting.
"Maka, what took you so long? You know you shouldn't be keeping your future god waiting," smirked Black Star as his partner Tsubaki ran up to hug her best friend.
"Kid, Liz, and Patty are already on the plane. Kid wanted to make sure he got the eighth seat," Tsubaki said sweetly. Maka nodded knowingly and was about to board the plane when Tsubaki placed her hand on Maka's shoulder.
"What's wrong with you and Soul?" asked Tsubaki leading Maka away to the bathroom so they could talk in private.
Was it really that obvious? Thought Maka as she relayed the events of the past night and day to Tsubaki. Maka found that it wasn't good to hide anything from her friend. Besides Tsubaki had a way with words and her advice seemed to ease Maka's mind.
Tsubaki nodded after Maka finished and opened her eyes because she had them closed the entirety of Maka's story.
Her eyes softened as she looked at Maka and said, "Honey, I think you know what is going on don't you?"
Maka looked at her in confusion before racking her brain for different reasons that Soul had been acting the way he did. After a couple of minutes she gave up, "I really don't know. What do you think it is?"
Tsubaki was about to tell Maka what she thought when the announcer said that their plane would be leaving shortly. Panic flashed across Maka's emerald eyes before she darted out of the bathroom to board the plane.
Tsubaki sighed and jogged after her stressed out best friend.
…
Maka entered the plane and saw that Soul had taken a place next to Liz and Kid. He was avoiding her gaze and instead was staring intently at his shoes. His eyes were dark and unreadable and his hand was buried in his frosty hair.
Kid to was busy arranging the magazines symmetrically to notice the tense weapon next to him, but Liz did, mainly because Soul had taken her little sister's seat and her loud voice was mixing with Black Star's as they had a noise conversation.
Liz peered over quizzically at Maka's disheartened expression. She immediately took Maka's side of the obvious argument that her and Soul were having and glared at the slouching guilty party to her left. Feeling her eyes burning him Soul sunk deeper into his seat.
Maka sat down in the empty row in front of Soul and crossed her arms uncomfortably over her chest. Soul had always sat next her on the plane. Sometimes he would give her a earphone so they could listen to music together while she read her book. Maka always liked that he listened to classical and alternative instead of the annoying pop music of today.
Tsubaki gave her partner a questioning look, and as if Black Star and her had a conversation, he gave her a large grin and a thumbs up. Then he glanced at a depressed Soul.
Tsubaki sat down next to Maka. "You should go sit with your partner," Maka whispered. When she said the word partner Tsubaki head her voice crack and knew that the fact that Soul had decided to not sit next to her.
"I'd rather sit with you," Tsubaki said kindly. "Now do you want me to tell you what I think is wrong with Soul?" she asked.
"Yes please," Maka replied turning to face the dark haired girl. Her face had lightened somewhat.
"I think Soul is finally admitting to himself that he likes you, perhaps loves you," Tsubaki said.
"Of course Soul loves me," Maka replied, scoffing. "He is my best friend!"
"No Maka, I think he loves you like, like Peeta loves Katniss," Tsubaki explained using Maka's current favorite story. Maka liked that book because of the strong female role, she had once confessed to Soul.
Maka's eyes widened in surprise and then narrowed her eyes in disbelief and scorn. "Your crazy Tsubaki, that's the dumbest thing I have ever heard," she spat. Then she added more gently, "Why would he like me, anyway?"
Maka was surprised when Tsubaki giggled, and then chuckled, and then guffawed. Their friends and other passengers were openly staring at the pair of girls. Wiping tears from her eyes she said between quiet, subsiding laughs, "Maka, you are smart but sometimes you can be such an airhead."
Maka glared and Tsubaki said, "I mean its obvious now that you told me what happened last night. Besides you can tell the way he looks at you. Your gorgeous Maka, not to mention smart. Why wouldn't he love you?"
Maka still looked skeptical so Tsubaki asked, "Where did you go to sleep?"
Maka replied, "the couch," she replied remembering falling asleep waiting for Soul.
"And where did you wake up?"
Maka blushed angrily before turning her back on the ninja weapon but Tsubaki knew she was contemplating and would be for a while. So Tsubaki leaned back against her chair and began to fall asleep.
Indeed Maka was rethinking her relationship with Soul and her feeling toward him. She goes back to times they touched and how it felt so warm long after his skin had left hers. The way his laugh made her stomach clench and when he lazily props his feet on her lap when they are watching TV makes her head spin. And thought of him playing the piano just for her makes her heart bang heavily against her ribcage.
The rest of the group slowly noticed the tension between Maka and Soul, even Patti. Everyone was glancing between the inseparable two partners who were currently not even looking at each other.
The rest of the plane ride was less than pleasant to say the least. The whole group sat in silence for the most part as the stubborn pair refused to acknowledge each other.
….
When the group had arrived at their destination they immediately dropped of the little baggage they had and set off to the location of the witch. Soul and Maka had stayed quiet and avoided each other like the plague. They walked opposite of one another and refused to look at the other.
Maka was to stubborn to give Soul what he obviously wanted, her attention. And she was afraid of the growing of her feelings in her gut. Soul was angry with Maka for going out on a date and angry at himself for getting upset about it. They were waiting for other to make the first move.
The strain of the two did not go unnoticed by the others. The lack of communication was making life hard for the partners.
They came into a clearing surrounded by oak trees and an old forgotten brick wall was sagging to the left. In the center of the area stood a young woman with large eyes and a long face. She wore a green hat and a tight green dress. Protruding from her arms were two swords. They seemed to be humming with magic power.
Kid told Liz and Patty to transform and they complied switching to gun form. He nodded to Black Star who was holding Tsubaki and they rushed forward to start battling. It was clear to Maka that they would have a hard time defeating this witch; she was powerful, blocking Kid and Black Star's attacks with ease.
"Soul, transform," hissed Maka and Soul grunted his compliance roughly. In a flash of light he was in her hands. But Maka soon realized something was very wrong.
Soul was so heavy, his long blade was tilting toward the ground and Maka heaved him up. There was also a burning sensation in her hands that singed her sensitive skin. It was very familiar to the time when Soul and Maka had fought a certain werewolf. But this battle's outcome would be very different.
….
