Because I was gone for so long, I will update twice~! Don't own, belongs to Atsushi Okubo and Square-Enix~!

It was more than a simple annoyance. She honestly hated it more than anything evil had ever thrown at her. More than her father's cheating. Once, she had hated it just a little bit more than Medusa Gorgon herself.

It was those stupid underclassmen who would always approach Soul. It wasn't even that they were asking him to leave her. It was that they were asking IN FRONT of her. Didn't even have the decency to wait for her to leave…

And it didn't bother Soul at all. He thrived on the attention even if he SAID it was annoying. Really, the only one who actually found it annoying was herself.

Maka sighed as she sat with the weapons of her team for lunch.

"What's the matter?"

Maka looked at Tsubaki who voiced the question. She puffed out her cheeks. "I'm just upset about those underclassmen! They could at least wait until I'm gone…"

"They're just trying to get a rise out of you. And you know Soul won't leave you for anyone but Shinigami-sama."

"I know. But it doesn't make it any less annoying… Plus why do they need someone who's already a Death Scythe as their partner?"

"I guess I understand a bit. It would be like weapons coming up to Kid just because he's Shinigami-sama's son." Liz sighed. "That would get under my skin, too."

"Right? And Soul finds nothing wrong with it, and always asks me what's wrong…?"

Patty laughed. "Soul's so clueless!"

"He's just like any other boy." Liz sighed. "So dimwitted."

"Why don't you just tell him it annoys you?"

"I have, and he just makes fun of me for being 'jealous'. I tell him it's not, but he won't listen…"

Tsubaki smiled. "I think he wants you to be jealous."

"Why would he want that?"

"Oh, obvious reasons. I'm sure you'll figure it out soon enough. You're smart."

Maka tilted her head in confusion, then took a bite of her lunch.

That evening, Maka and Soul made their way back home.

"So, Soul," Maka started. "do you like the attention you get from the underclassmen at school?"

"Not especially." Soul shrugged. He then gave a smirk. ""Why? Are you jealous?"

Maka thought back to the conversation she had with the girls earlier. "Do you want me to be?"

Soul shrugged again. "Maybe a little. But you do kind of go crazy when you're upset.

"I DO NOT!" Maka said with a blush.

Soul's smirk grew. "Do too. Anyways, what's for dinner? I'm starving."

Maka sighed roughly with puffed cheeks. "Whatever…"

Soul smirked again. It was always fun to see Maka overreact as long as no one got hurt. She did have a bit of a violent streak. If he thought about it, maybe things would turn south if he drew it out much longer.

"Just a little longer…"

The next day, while Maka and Soul were at their lockers, an admittedly cute underclassman came up to Soul, being extra flirty.

"Hey, Soul~!"

Soul smirked. "Hey, there."

"So… I was wondering…"

"Yes?"

Maka glared into her locker. She could not believe this was happening next to her.

"If you would mind going on a walk with me? There is something I want to talk to you about…"

That was it. That was the last straw. Maka calmly closed her locker, smiled at the underclassman sweetly, turned to Soul, and wrapped her arms around his neck, reaching up to kiss him. It was supposed to be a quick kiss, but she was pleasantly surprised when he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. After a blissful eternity, Maka pulled apart and looked at the underclassman who was still there, too shocked to move.

"Okay, listen. Soul is MY partner. He will NOT be leaving me for any other meister but Shinigami-sama. Understood?"

"U-understood…" The girl mumbled. "E-excuse me…!"

Maka smiled, then turned to Soul. "And as for you, Soul."

"Yes?" He drawled.

"I want you to listen very closely…"

"I'm listening."

"You are MINE, do you understand that? And I'm yours. And if you EVER pull that crap again, I'm sending you to live with Papa, do you understand?"

"Yes, ma'am." Soul chuckled. "Now that we're on the same page."

"Hm?"

"I'd like to kiss you again. IS that cool?"

Maka grinned. "It is." She waited for Soul to touch his lips to hers, and when it happened, it was magic. If Maka thought about it, maybe she was a LITTLE jealous….

Hope you enjoy, and please review! They make me feel happy! Love you Always!
