An Old Friend
Chapter 2:
"Well, the day started out normal, but that isn't the important part. At about 5 I went to Soul's job to surprise him and take him to a nice dinner. But when I got there I caught him kissing another woman…" started Maka tears already rolling down her face. Using his thumb Kid wiped away the tears just like how Soul used to. The only difference was his thumb was warm and inviting.
"Take your time" said Kid patiently.
"S-so I stormed in t-there and threw the necklace h-he gave in h-his face and maybe, kind of, sort of, ran over his bike…" said Maka, the tears stopping. Then there was a huge laugh from both of them.
"Haha that's the Maka I used to know. Easy to anger and when you are you practically seep venom!" said Kid laughing. Maka couldn't help but laugh at this because it was so true and Kid knew even better then Soul did. After that there was a brief silence. But it wasn't awkward it was warm and comforting. So much was said in this silence. It was like being in high school again. The two never needed to speak; some believed they could actually read each other's minds.
"Yeah some hot chocolate would be awesome" said Maka, showing off she still had the skill.
"You still can read my mind, and yes I do have marshmallows" said Kid smugly. Kid then walked into the kitchen and started heating the milk on the stove.
Meanwhile Maka was sitting in the living room waiting for Kid's return. Then Maka saw Kid's phone. While she knew it was wrong for her to go through it something just sparked her curiosity. She wondered what her once best friend had been up to recently. She picked the all black touch-screen phone and slid it open. It came to a lock screen that needed a code. She nonchalantly typed in the numbers 8, 8, 8, and 8 and the phone was unlocked.
"Idiot" muttered Maka. Her first instinct was to look at his contacts. Usually whenever someone had a heart next to somebody's name it meant that they were their significant other. Or it meant that they liked that person. When Maka came upon her name she blushed heavily. Next to her name was a heart.
"Can I help you find something?" asked Kid sanctimoniously leaning in the doorway? Maka jumped when he said this and quickly locked the phone and threw it down!
"I'm sorry… I should just ask you how you've been doing lately not look through your contacts" said Maka shamefully. Kid blushed heavily when she said this because he assumed she had seen her name.
"Maka the reason you have a heart next to your name is because… I put your name in when I got this phone in high school. And well… I liked you back then and I never really had the heart to remove it" said Kid looking down.
"Haha awww! Kiddo, when I first met you I had a crush on you too. But you never made a move so I just assumed you didn't like me" said Maka flashing Kid a sad smile. Kid sat down and handed Maka the cup of coco.
"How cliché" said Kid laughing. Maka laughed at this because it was so true.
"So want to watch a movie?" asked Kid taking a sip of his coco? Maka nodded and Kid walked over to his closet. In there the movies were arranged perfectly and Kid scanned the rows to find one. Then he pulled out a scary movie and walked back into the living room. He hit the lights and put the movie in. The two of them each grabbed a blanket and sat next to each other on the couch as the movie began.
A half hour into the movie there was a jump scare that caused Maka to grab Kid's shirt in fear. She quickly released it realizing what she did was inappropriate.
"I-I'm sorry" said Maka, still scared from the movie. Then Kid wrapped his arm around Maka and looked at her wistfully.
"It's ok, I will protect you" said Kid smoothly. Soul would always do that to Maka and it made her feel objectified. But when Kid did it made her feel warm and safe. This caused Maka to become rosy red and she tried to hide it but she knew Kid had seen. He had flashed her a smile that let her know that. She was extremely close to Kid and she only wanted to get closer.
"What is this feeling inside of me? Do I like Kid? No and even if I did I bet he has a girlfriend" thought Maka. She inhaled deeply getting a nose full of Kid's cologne. She smiled realizing that he hadn't changed it since high school.
"Still that same cologne huh?" asked Maka jokingly?
"The only one with a symmetrical bottle" said Kid smiling.
"Secretly I always loved that cologne" said Maka. Kid blushed at this remark and he really didn't know why. And well Maka really didn't know why she said it. She then snuggled up closer to Kid's chest and got comfortable. She ended up falling asleep there and Kid didn't dare move her. But after the movie was over he very carefully snuck away to his own bed.
Ok guys end of chapter 2 and I am having so much fun writing it!
