Soul Eater
Soul x Maka
Fresh Start: Chapter One
Only one new character this time! Tsubaki!
Maka woke up at about 3 in the morning, but she was woken by Soul. Apparently, he sleep walks. He had come into his room in the middle of the night and tried to get in the bed. Of course, he tried to get in on the side she was. She scooted over to the other side of the bed, to realize that it wasn't big enough for both of them. She laid back down and watched him get in sloppily. She turned over so that her back was facing him, only to feel his face nudge her spine. She then realized that she wasn't in her room. And that Soul wasn't supposed to be there. She sat up and glanced down at him before finding a thick book under his bed and hit him in the head with it to wake him up.
"OW! Wes, what was that for?!" Soul looked up at the person who hit him. "Oh.. Maka? But.. I was in there.." He said, pointing to the couch.
"Well, you sleep walk," Maka said angrily. "And, you are going to explain to me what I'm doing here."
Soul looked at her and was a bit scared that she would hit him again. "O-okay.. We were at the park, and you never told me where you live, and honestly, judging by the way you responded when I asked about your father, I don't want you to go back to that hell hole."
"So.. You brought me here?" She asked.
"Yeah.." He said, blushing a bit and rubbing his neck.
Maka hid here face in a pillow and gave a muffled apology. She didn't want to go back, either, but she kinda had to. Her clothes were there, and she wasn't going to wear the same outfit every day, it would eventually start to stink and get dirty. And Soul is a boy, he wouldn't have girl's clothes. Especially ones that would fit her.
She heard someone at the door. "Soul, you're an idiot, I hope you know that," A voice said.
She turned around to see who spoke, and it was a boy a bit older than Soul, with the same white hair.
Soul looked at him, disgusted and annoyed at the same time.
"Shut up, Wes. Go back to your room already."
"Calm down, little brother. Just making sure you respect her," He smirked.
"Go away!" Soul yelled, getting fed up with his brother.
Wes was about to retort when Maka stepped in and said, "Shut it, both of you! Or I'll stab you guys in the kidneys, got it?"
The boys looked at her, surprised and scared.
"Yeah.."
"Sure thing, Maka.."
At about eight o'clock, there was a knock on the door. Maka got up to answer it, but Soul reached out to stop her. "Stop, I'll get it. You hide." He led her to the kitchen and pointed to a corner before getting a knife and walking up to the door. He got in a position where he could hide behind it after it was opened. He got ready and pulled it open before hearing Black Star yell, "Attention to everyone who is here, your God has arrived!"
Soul stepped out from behind the door and called for Maka to come out.
"Hey, Black Star, this is Maka, the girl I told you about," He said, motioning to Maka.
He turned to Maka and said, "Maka, this is Black Star and... Tsubaki?"
"Hello!" Tsubaki said.
Maka walked up to her and smiled. "Hello! I'm Maka Albarn," she said.
Tsubaki had been informed of Maka's struggle, so she almost immediately pulled her to the couch and started talking to her. Black Star looked at Maka and said to Soul, "I thought she was depressed."
"Well, she is. My guess is that she's stoic."
He looked at Soul as if he was speaking Japanese. "What's stoic?"
"It describes someone who hides their feelings well. Basically, she's depressed, but she just puts on a happy mask and everyone falls for the trick."
