I do not own Soul Eater.
Graduation…
"…congrats!" shouted Lord Death after all the seniors had moved their tassel from right to left. Not too long ago, Maka had done her speech and like she predicted, all the hard-work she did made it almost perfect. Yes, almost perfect. When Maka did her speech, everything around her disappeared and she had all the confidence in the world. Everything was going smoothly until the last paragraph when he came in sight. Soul's red eyes staring lazily, his gown covering everything but his face, Maka paused for a short while until she could speak again. She hoped no one has notice but she'll only knew that questions would start to come after her, later.
For now, Maka had graduated the top of her class and as Valedictorian. If only her mama was here to see this. If only. Maka and her graduating class split from their seat to be surrounded by parents, relatives, or just anybody. The aroma of flowers filled the air, balloons surrounded the graduating class, covering their view of the world from them, and so many sounds appeared. The sound of cried went out, the screams and shouts of underclassmen, and of course the graduates shouts of joy for finally accomplishing the requirements of general education. Maka ran off to find her papa, even if he was perverted. Papa was still papa.
Searching through the crowd, Maka could barely see the faces. The faces were blurry as she pushed, trying to find papa.
"Oh Maka! That was a wonderful speech!"
"You really know how to represent this school."
"I'm glad you were Valedictorian and not Ox Ford!"
Every push or shove Maka did, she could hear random compliments of the graduates. She would say "Thank you" and be respectful but for some reason she felt like she was on a journey. Her brain is telling her to look for papa, but her heart is telling a different command.
Go find him.
But she didn't need to. She didn't need him in her life but if she knew any better, she wanted him. She wanted to feel his embrace, his touch, and his lips. But sometimes, you don't always get what you want.
Maka continued to search but she halted in one spot, using her eyes to find him. There were so many people, so many faces, Maka thought her brain was going to explode. She felt lost. She needed some guidance.
Go find him.
Maka stopped searching and found the person she was looking for. A smile appeared on her face.
" There you are Papa…"
