Yes, I am a complete liar who deserves to be burned at the stake for making you guys wait. Q A Q but I have found a path, a way, and this summer, I shall finish this story. This is again another filler and I feel so bad about that, but I promise next chapter there shall be some plot development! So review to tell me what to think, motivational messages would really help right now, but more about that in the comments. Enjoy~ ^_^
Maka POV
"I think this one looks nice."
"Liz, I look like a stripper."
"You look pretty Maka-chan."
"Tsubaki, you know this isn't what I like to wear!"
"Oh shush Maka, you look cute."
"But it's so... so short!"
"It's halfway down your thighs Maka, you're just a prude."
"It's not my fault that I like to be reserved."
"Why would you want to be reserved at a time like this? This is one of the biggest chances you'll ever get Maka, don't you understand?"
"What do you mean Liz? Chance for what?"
"Chance to seduce Soul, DUH."
I stare at Liz like she has 3 heads.
"What?! What makes you think that I would even want to seduce that pervert?!"
"Well Maka-chan, you two do get along quite well..."
"You too Tsubaki? Is everyone here trying to set me up?"
Liz stares at me sternly.
"Now look Maka, we haven't known each other for too long, but I know you well enough to see that you have the hots for him. I've known Soul for a long time, and he isn't just that friendly with everyone. You actually have a chance!"
I feel my face flushing from the embarrassment. I can't believe Liz figured it out!
"Maka-chan, I'd hate to see rude but you're not exactly hiding it very well..."
AND TSUBAKI KNOWS TOO. OKAY. TIME TO GO JOIN MY GREAT-GRANDMA IN THE AFTERLIFE.
"Is it really that obvious?" I say, about to cry. This has to be the most embarrassing moment in my entire life.
"Yes, but don't worry. We're totally supporting you on this." Liz says, giving me a firm pat on the back for support. "Now let's go get you dressed up and pretty so you don't make him run away from you instead."
Soul POV
"This one looks pretty cool right?"
"Hm... quite. It's nice and symmetrical too. Let's just go with that."
"Haha, I bet the girls are trying on every dress in Maka's closet."
"What makes you think that?"
"We're talking about Liz here you know."
"Sigh... indeed, you're right."
"So what do you want to do for the next 2 hours?"
"Hm... you got any games?"
"Do you even need to ask?"
-After playing for a while-
I drank my water as Kid and I took a break from our game. It's actually draining to play a video game for a long time, contrary to popular belief.
"So how's it going with Maka?" Kid asked.
"Maka? We're cool I guess. Sometimes we fight but it's not a big deal."
"Have you made a move yet? I don't want to invade your privacy, but she is one of my best friends after all."
I nearly spit the water into his face but I stopped myself by chocking on it. Classy Soul, classy.
"What? What do you mean 'made a move yet'? We're just friends, as I told you last time."
"But I thought you liked her?"
"Like her?"
Well, she is pretty cute, but she's young and I don't even think she likes me. Always hitting me with books and calling me a pervert. I'm sure I'm just a big brother to her... which somewhat disappoints me for some reason...
"She's like my little sister, you know." Kid interrupts my thoughts. "She went through some tough times in her life, especially when her dad left... but I'm glad she's happier now. She seems happier here with you than I've seen her in a while."
"Really?
"Yeah... no matter what happens, just take care of her for me okay?"
"Of course, that's what cool dudes do after all."
-Magical time skip wheeeeeeeeee to about an hour later-
Maka POV
This dress is so tight, it feels like I'm going to throw up. Luckily the bottom half is loose but it's kind of short. I feel so... feminine. Maybe it's the years of being surrounded by lewd men, but I feel so... weird. Oh gosh, Liz and Tsubaki went full out with the makeup didn't they? Oh gosh, I hope hope Soul doesn't think I look weird...
Soul POV
This suit in pretty cool, if I do say so myself. I'm actually kind of excited to see what Maka looks like, I've got to admit that. Kid and I went to the party first to greet some people before the girls do since we actually have business to talk about.
These people are boring, talking about unicorns with middle aged men is really not exciting at all. What the hell are bronies? They literally sound like they have nothing to do with classical music. I can see why people are worried about my generation because the past one is already going bonkers as far as I know.
"Liz just texted me saying they're here."
"Aight, then let's go escort them in I guess. Gotta be a classy gentlemen around these folks after all."
"Well, you got that part right."
And then we finally saw the girls and all I can say is that Maka looked extremely fucking hot.
Whee so back to the author's note down here. So I decided to cut it off there, because I had too much to write to put it in one chapter and I like my chapters feeling like a single chapter, y'know?
But anyways, please review if you want more and liked this ^_^ I know I'm so inconsistant but this year has been stressful and a complete pain but I got through it.
I would say I didn't have the time to write, but it's more like I couldn't will myself to get creative since I was pretty bummed this entire year. Or several months. You know you don't update when you don't remember the last time you updated. Ta-ta loves ^_^ you guys are always so supportive of me and I would really like to thank you guys for that. I promise to write lots for you since I have time now so please continue to give me your support!
