Tsubaki flitted nervously around her apartment making sure everything was in place for when Black Star and Soul arrived, the party wasn't for another couple days but she had offered them to stay for a while instead of spending money on a hotel. Black Star had agreed to Tsubaki's offer immediately but Soul had been a little reluctant when she had talked to him over the phone. She was tempted to call Maka over to help calm her nerves when the door bell sounded.
She rushed to the door knowing if she left it too long and it was Black Star, he would knock it down, opening it revealed a short tan man with electric blue hair sticking up to look vaguely like a star. He was wearing a dark blue muscle shirt that showed off a star tattoo and a deep scar running across it, baggy black pants hung loosely around his hips and covered a little of his thick black and silver combat boots. A monkey like grin appeared on his face when his aquarium eyes saw Tsubaki, "TSU! YOU'R GOD HAS RETURNED!" He shouted dropping the ridiculous amount of bags and boxes he was carrying.
"It's nice to see you too Black Star," Tsubaki greeted kindly, "Do you need help with your bags?" She asked.
"HA! THE GREAT BLACK STAR NEEDS NO HELP!" Black Star continued shouting.
"Okay, Black Star but inside voice please." Tsubaki pleaded shyly.
"OKAY TSUBAKI! I mean okay! Anything for you, MY GODDESS!" Black Star said, his voice rising and falling in volume. It was still loud overall but probably the closest thing to quiet anyone's going to get with Black Star. Tsubaki moved out the way a little to let him drag all his bags into the apartment, a sudden thought struck her as she was about to close the door.
"Um… Where's your friend Black Star?" Tsubaki asked quietly.
"Soul? He said he wanted to get some things and look around for a bit, I gave him your address so I'm sure he'll be around later," Black Star assured Tsubaki, dumping all his bags in the middle of Tsubaki's neatly done apartment, turning back to her with a mischievous look in his eyes he said, "At least that gives me time with my GODDESS!" Tsubaki blushed at what he was implying, but smiled and giggled a little as well, slowly leading him to her bedroom.
A lean handsome guy with shaggy silvery locks slouched along the sidewalks of Death City, his lazy red eyes seemingly bored were actually anxiously looking over every person that passed him and making sure they didn't try to talk to him or look too long. Sighing he stuffed his hands into his leather jacket pockets, covering a grey shirt that was quite loose on his board shoulders. Tight jeans hugged his legs and hips in just the right places; the silver studded, thick black belt he wore with a relatively large skull belt buckle was mainly for show. Busted up, orange converse dragged along the dirty and cracked cement. The young male known as Soul Eater Evans, looked around thinking, 'how many skulls does this city need… Then again this place is called Death City so I shouldn't be surprised'. Sighing again he looked around trying to find a coffee shop or fast food place where he could eat and hopefully talk to his soulmate. Soul shook his head a little; he was still not used to calling his mystery friend soulmate and still got a little nervous thinking about it. He finally spotted a small café on a corner near what looked like the local College or University.
Walking in he wondered what she… or he… would think about meeting up, after crashing his motorcycle and almost dying Soul decided to try and find his soulmate. Soul had never really thought of finding ones soulmate was a priority but after talking to his soulmate when he had finally woken up, he couldn't stop thinking about how worried they were, all alone thinking the worse, it made him feel so bad.
The café was small and rather crowded but he spotted s free chair across from a small blonde girl in pigtails reading a book, after ordering some food Soul walked over to the table fidgeting slightly not sure if he should break her concentration or not. Taking a deep breath and schooling his features into total boredom he coughed lightly drawing her attention, large green eyes looked up at him curiously. Soul was momentarily taken aback by her beautiful eyes, but he quickly recovered asking, "Um all the seats are taken so can I sit here?"
They mostly sat in silence, her reading and him eating, Soul casually rolled up his sleeve a little wondering if he could get away with writing to his soulmate in front of this girl. When he came in here he was hoping to get a table in the corner or one where people couldn't see him so well so he could talk to his soulmate, Soul thought about it for awhile considering the pros and cons of risking it. The girl in front of him seemed to be too in grossed with her book so he doesn't really need to worry about her too much.
He was slightly startled when she closed her book putting it away in her bag and taking out her phone to seemingly text someone, for some reason this action irked him, Soul didn't really understand why it annoyed him that this girl, who he doesn't even know is ignoring him. After some thought he reasons it's probably because he is so used to random girls throwing themselves at him whenever he leaves his house. "You know you could talk to the person in front of yer instead of bothering someone who could be doing somethin' important." Soul rudely said.
An annoyed look crosses her face before she scoffs and says, "You know maybe you should actually know the person across from you before given them 'advice'." Soul scrunched up his nose at her tone forgetting he technically started this.
"You could also work on your attitude." Soul murmured sneering a little at her, the girls green eyes seemed to flash with a kind of fire the angrier she became, Soul thought this was quite amusing.
"Well maybe you should stop being an ass and my attitude will be better." She shot back now giving him her full attention.
"Who is being an ass? I was just sayin' yer can actually talk to the people around you instead of going on yer phone." Soul lightly accused.
"Who would want to talk to you," the girl rudely said making Soul gasp slightly, then she carried on with, "And what's your problem with phones, don't tell me your some kind of hipster?"
"Hipster! I am not a hipster!" Soul denied.
"Really? Then what's with the look you've got going on. I mean white hair? Red eyes? Seriously?" She said amused.
Soul just managed to growl out, "There real!" She raised a delicate eyebrow, rolling her deep green eyes she said disbelieving, "Right and I'm the Queen of England." Soul growled at her again this time sneering more revealing his shark like teeth, the girls eyes widened slightly then she started sniggering making him raise an eyebrow. Most people are scared of his teeth but this strange girl is laughing at them, 'what the hell' he thought until she managed to get out, "Shark teeth too? You may not be the most hipster person I've met but you're still a hipster."
"I keep tellin' yer they are real and before yer say anythin' else so are my teeth!" Soul practically screamed drawing some people's attention, he blushed a little moving his head lower and more into his arms. The girl had finally stopped sniggering instead looking around the café then back at him; probably realising he had been telling the truth about his looks. "Alright let's say I believe you and you are some kind of weird albino that still doesn't excuse your attitude towards me." She said
"All right princess." Soul gruffly said rolling his eyes and looking out a window.
"Don't call me princess." She said lowly in a kind of warning tone.
"Why? Yer definitely actin' like one." Soul growled looking back at her.
"I am not acting like a princess! You! You! You hillbilly!" She shot back, flustered.
"Hillbilly?! Where yer getting' that?!" Soul asked, or more accurately shouted.
"Oh jeez I don't know maybe your posture, that huge belt buckle, ripped shoes, that sorry excuse for a jacket and the fact yer talk like this!" She said pretending to be him at the end.
"Really… Well at least I'm not some stuck up little girl!" Soul said.
"Little girl! LITTLE GIRL! I'm 19!" She shouted drawing some attention back to their table.
"You could've fooled me! I mean what 19 year old still wears pigtails and yer not the most developed 19 year old I've met." Soul said with a satisfied smirk.
She was quiet for a moment looking down at her chest, a furious blush painted her cheeks as she looked back up at his smirking face, "H-how dare you! You p-p-pervert!" She screeched.
"Hey stop screechin', it's not like I wanted ta look anyway." Soul said his smirk growing.
"Your such a f*cking ass!" She screamed causing some of the patrons to gasp and one mother to cover her children's ears.
"Ooooo! The princess knows a bad word!" Soul taunted sarcastically. The girl grabbed his jacket collar and with a surprising amount of strength dragged him across the table so their faces were just a hairs width of space between them. She growled lowly saying, "There are a lot of things you wouldn't believe I know." Soul gulped at the threat laced in her words.
He was about to say something back when a nervous employee coughed to attract their attention. They turned to look at the new comer, the blonde still holding onto Soul not losing her grip even a tiny bit, the employee fidgeted slightly under their gazes. He or she, it was hard to tell with the long black dress and their light violet hair was choppy and uneven, not helping to define their gender, "Umm y-y-you're a-annoying t-the o-o-o-other patrons a-and I've b-b-been asked t-t-to t-tell you, y-you n-n-need t-t-t-t-to leave." They said in a voice that could have been a high man's voice or a low girl's voice.
The girl let go of Soul, picking up her bag she stormed out of the small café, knocking over someone coming into the café the same time she was leaving. Soul rushed to do the same making sure he walked away in the opposite direction to where he saw the blonde haired girl went. Walking down the street he hoped he wouldn't have to see her ever again but strangely there was a little part of him that hoped he would see her again. She was one of the few girls that didn't throw herself at him and actually argued with him, she was also fun to mess with. Walking around a corner he didn't realise his little he may be meeting her again a lot sooner than Soul thought.
Maka stormed down the street, she had been enjoying her day until that jerk opened his big stupid shark mouth! 'What was his problem?' She thought to herself, sighing she took a calming breath to try and calm down; Maka would admit she had a little problem with anger but at least she hadn't hit him with her book. She smirked a little at that thought; maybe she could go back and hit him just because it sounds fun. 'No, no Maka you aren't some crazy violent person and anyway he might not even be there anymore', Maka thought to herself.
She was a little surprised at the twinge of disappointment she felt at the thought of not seeing him again, as much as she hated to admit it their argument was actually fun. Shaking her head to try and banish her ridiculous thoughts, there was no way she would be seeing him again even with his strange looks making him stick out like a sore thumb.
As she walked nearer to her apartment she thought about Tsubaki and Black Star, Maka hoped he wasn't giving her a hard time and remembered Tsubaki was also housing Black Star's friend, 'What was his name again… Oh yeah Soul! Huh weird name but then again I can't say anything '. Maka thought to herself, she also wondered what type of person this Soul was, 'Hopefully better then that guy I met in the café', Maka thought to herself, entering her apartment and starting her nightly routine and getting ready for the next day. Not realising she will also be seeing him a lot sooner then she wanted.
