AN: I tried my best not to be bias or insulting to any ships in particular. So sorry if I did that.
Blair and Maka sat peacefully on the couch. The cat read over her shoulder as she sat on it. To be honest, Blair thought this book was boring but Maka kept petting her so it was fine.
"Hey Maka," Blair said eventually. "I'm bored."
"Go play with Soul then." Maka bit her tongue as she said that, seeing how Blair's regular play with Soul turned out.
"Soul went to the grocery store half an hour ago," said Blair.
Maka looked around the apartment. Guess she hadn't noticed.
"Sorry Blair I'm reading."
The cat sighed and hopped off Maka's shoulder then down to the seat of the couch where she was now next to her roommate.
"Could you ever see Kid dating Patty?"
"Wha?" Maka looked over. "Where did that come from?"
Blair shrugged. "Nothing really. I just make up scenarios when I'm bored."
Maka returned to her book but Blair was determined to keep the conversation.
"Would Kid and Liz work better?"
"Probably," sighed Maka, playing along. "Kid and Liz and are more mature but she gets annoyed with him quickly unlike Patty. Kid gets annoyed with Patty however."
"How about Tsubaki and Black*Star?"
"I guess she puts up with him really well. I don't see it but it could be possible"
"What about Liz and Tsubaki? They were the most lustful," Blair smirked as she recalled their time in the Book of Eibon.
Maka squinted her eyes. "That's a terrible reason for them to be together."
Blair shrugged.
Giving in, Maka closed her book. "Okay get this. Black*Star and Soul?"
The girls laughed for quite a while on that one. It would be quite the crazy pairing for sure.
"Maybe you and Black*Star?" said Blair.
Maka stuck out her tongue. "Ew! Don't involve me in this! Besides I've known Black*Star since I was born!"
"All the better reason."
"What about Kid and Black*Star?" inquired Maka. "The serious and the spontaneous?"
"It could be a television show."
"Sounds like one of the terrible ones my dad would watch."
"Oh!" Blair beamed. "We haven't even started with the adults at the DWMA yet!"
Maka gave her a worried glance. Their friends were fun and all but a Sensei? Was that weird?
"For instance," began Blair. "Professor Stein and that eyepatch lady."
"Marie? That's a real thing though."
"Sure but it's an example."
"Well then yeah. Sure."
"Your dad and Marie?"
"Ew. Next."
"Your dad and Stein?"
Maka was disgusted at that one but still couldn't help but laugh loudly. As gross as it was to picture her dad with her teachers, the thought of him with Stein sure would be interesting.
"It would never last if Professor Stein kept doing all those experiments on Papa."
"What's that lady in the glasses named?"
"Azusa?"
"Yeah sure."
"What about it?"
"Her and your dad?"
Maka shrugged. "I don't know her as well as I'd like to. She seems way to serious for a creepy old weirdo like him though. Still, I'd rather he end up with someone who isn't a creepy old weirdo as well...Like Stein."
The girls giggled again.
...
Soul carried two plastic bags in his arms. They were full of food and other supplies. According to the shopping list Maka needed "toothbrushes" which by now Soul had decoded. It didn't take Maka long to figure out he knew. He didn't get them for her. He heard something odd behind the door. Laughing? Pulling out his key, the scythe opened the door.
Maka was on the floor in a fit of giggles and Blair was in the same situation on the couch in her cat form. The two seemed unaware he had entered the room.
"Um. I'm home," Soul said with a confused look.
The girls kept on. He put down his keys and put the groceries in the table.
"What are you two so weird about?"
Now noticing his presence, the girls jolted up.
"Oh," Maka giggled. "Nothing really."
Soul raised an eyebrow but dropped the situation rather quickly.
"I ran into Black*Star at the store. He said he was shopping for Tsubaki because she was feeling sick. So we hung out together for a bit. Sorry I'm late."
"What did you do?" Blair asked.
"Just played around y'know?"
Maka and Blair burst into laughter again. Maka tried furiously to regain herself. Damn this whole pairings talk, it had her thinking all weird. She sat on the floor and looked up at Soul.
"Sorry, sorry," she said out of breath. "That sounds fun."
Soul was very flustered now but decided it was best not to ask.
"Did you get me toothbrushes?" Maka teased. On most situations like these, she would be modest and even embarrassed. Except she knew she could get Soul red in the face on this one which is something she rarely could do.
As planned, Soul blushed. "N-no." He stood up.
Obviously he didn't, she hadn't expected him to. It's not like she even needed them yet, so she'd get them tomorrow. Blair was confused now.
"I gotcha this though. I guess it could help," Soul handed her a little gold box before retiring to his room.
Maka looked down at the package and took off the lid. Inside were a bunch of little chocolates. She smiled.
"Hey Maka," Blair rubbed against her arm. "What about you and Soul?"
Turning red, Maka looked at the cat. "W-what? No. Where do you get that idea? Don't be ridiculous."
Blair tilted her head.
"I told you not to involve me in this," said Maka defensively as she closed the box and stood.
"Maybe you do need those chocolates," Blair pouted as the Meister walked to her room.
Maka grunted. "Just unpack the groceries Blair."
