(SOUL'S POV)

It was Monday. A good few weeks had passed since he found out that Maka loved him. He went back to his old self. It didn't really bug him much anymore. He was used to the awkwardness. Used to the fluttery feeling in his chest. He put on the headband and sweater he always wore. Some random jeans out of his closet. He sat on the floor for a few minutes before deciding on his shoes. Some cool black ones. Standing up, he stretched.

KNOCK! KNOCKETY-KNOCK KNOCK! KNOCK KNOCK!

Maka. That had to be Maka. She was the only one Childish enough, besides Patty, to knock in code.

"I'm already up, Maka. I know what time it is. Breakfast is in the Freezer. You can warm it up. Come in if you need to. I'm dressed." This happened every morning for the last week or so. She always checked to see if he was awake by 6:29 every morning ever since he overslept. ONCE.

6 FREAKIN 29 AM! ALWAYS EXACTLY 6:29! NOT 6:30; 6…...29!

"Oh….Okay" Her cheery voice came from the other side of the door. What's she so happy about? He wondered. Did she know something that he didn't. Suddenly he thought of his attire as childish. He threw off the sweater and headband. He pulled on one of his brother's old, torn jackets that made him look way older than he was, and, not to mention, way hotter. After that he soon found a black headband in one of his older brothers hand me down bags, and checking himself in the mirror. A smile spread across his face.

I walked out of my bedroom and into the direction of the kitchen. The look on Maka's face when she saw me was priceless

(MAKA'S POV)

Woah….. My mind was just completely and totally blank. Crap. Did I just say "woah" out loud? I sure hope not.

"Morning, Maka." Even his voice is extra dreamy today…. I blushed a little, but hoped he didn't notice.

"Uhhh…." Say something!

"What's the matter, book-worm" And his insults are cute, too… What is this alternate universe?

"N-nothing, S-S-Soul… Just….. Wow…."

"Wow, what? You think I look uncool? I'll go change." He turned to hurry back to his room while he still had enough time before they had to leave and go to school.

"No!" I yelled surprising myself. Soul turned to face me and before I could stop myself I was already half way through my sentence,"You look really-" I cut myself short before the words that would surely embarrass me slipped out of my mouth.

"I look really...? What? Bad?"

"No… G-good" just to be clear: I let those words come out instead of saying he looked hott. It was less embarrassing. Sorta.

"Think Liz'll like it?" A smile danced on his face. As much as she hated him and Liz Being together, she had to respect that Liz made him happy. Even if she had a crush on Soul, she had to move on.

"Yeah…" Maka mumbled

"Okay. Well, let's get going"

"Sure." I stood up and walked after Soul, locked the apartment door, and headed to the DWMA with a depressed feeling trying to worm its way into my heart. I refuse to let it in. Didn't want it. Didn't need it.
