"Like what you see?" Soul smirked. I realize that I was just checking him out. "H-hell no! Just leave me alone will you?!" I stomp my foot and he raises an eyebrow, "Did you just hear what I said?" he asks and I nod, "What about it?" "Maka I just told you that I liked you." He tells me. "Soul that was 6 years ago, we're not kids anymore. For Gods sake your 20 years old Soul!" "So what, do you have a boyfriend?" He asks. "Why the fuck is everyone asking me that?" I ask him and he chuckles. "I lost you once Maka, I was a stupid kid who didn't know how to act around a girl. Then one day I realized, 'I'm never going to get you unless you know I like you.' So that's why I dragged you with me that day. I was going to show you." He says and I stare wide eyed at him and gulp loudly.
"I'm sorry Soul; I never liked you like that." I whisper to him. "Bull shit Maka. I know you felt something that day, you felt something between us. Just like I did." He steps closer and I back away, making sure to leave some room between us. "Ever since you left Maka, I can't help but remember what I felt when I brushed my lips on yours, I felt that spark and I know you did to. I've tried to find it again I really have but I can't find that spark with anyone else, Maka I need to feel that spark again. It's something I need to do." He gets closer again and I'm frozen, because I felt it to, but I wasn't going around kissing random people trying to find it again, that just made me pissed.
I snap out of it and glare at Soul. "I do have a boyfriend." I state bravely and he looks at me as if he doesn't believe me. "Really who?" he crosses his arms. I think for a second and say the first name that came to my head, "Josh." I say, Josh was like my best friend in California, he always said he'd do anything for me so why not pretend to be my boyfriend until Soul backs off.
"Who the hell is 'Josh' he says. "M-my boyfriend, I met him in California." I say. "Fine then I want to meet him." He glares at me. "No, you don't need to meet him; I don't need your approval." I say and he chuckles. "Than how do I know that you're not making him up to scare me away?" he has a point. "I have to go. If you want to meet him then meet me and him at that park tomorrow." 'Shit what am I doing?' I think to myself. "Fine, I'll see you then Maka." Then he reaches down and grabs the alcohol and storms off. "Shit, shit shit shit." I say once he's out of hearing range. "Guess I better call Josh. Why the fuck do I even care what Soul thinks, I hate him and I'll always hate him! He ruined my life!" I keep talking to myself as I pull out my cell phone and find Josh in my contacts. Its midnight he's probably asleep, but I don't give a shit right now.
He picks up on the 4th ring. 'Hello?' I hear him yawn. "H-hey Josh, I'm sorry if I woke you." I tell him. 'Naw, it's alright. What's up?' "U-um do you think you could maybe drive up here tomorrow I really need you." I ask him and there's along pause before he answer's. 'Why are you alright?' I smile at his worried voice. "Yeah, I'm fine but I kind of need you to be my boyfriend." I say quickly. 'What all I heard was me and boyfriend.' I sigh. "I told Soul that you were my boyfriend." I say and hear him laugh. 'Soul's the jerk you always talked about right?' "I don't always talk about him, just when one of my friends told me about him, you were the only one who listened to me rant about him and I NEED you to come prove to him that you're my boyfriend!" I beg and there's another pause.
'Why what did he do this time? You just got up there today. Did he ruin your new dress or something?' I hear him smirk. "Shut up, and no he didn't, something worse." I say and hear him fake gasp. 'What could be worse?' He chuckles. "He said he likes me." I flinch when I say it. 'So why do you need me?' "Because I don't want him to like me so if I have a boyfriend, he'll back off." I say and he laughs. 'How long do you need to use me?' He asks and I immediately feel guilty. "I'm so sorry Josh; I don't want you to feel like I'm using you, I can just pay some guy up here to go out with me." I pout. He laughs louder, 'Maka you don't have to pay anyone. I'm sure you've been asked several times already if you have a boyfriend. You don't look like you did 6 years ago.' I smile he knows me so well. 'I'll be up there by noon tomorrow.' He sighs. "Thank you so much! You have known idea how much this means to me Josh! I promise I'll make it up to you somehow." I say and he chuckles. 'Any time Maka. Where do I go?' He asks. "Oh just meet me at GibbonsPark, look it up on a GPS or something." I say and I hear him grunt an 'okay.' 'Can I go back to sleep now I have along drive tomorrow.' "Oh, yeah of course see you tomorrow." I say excitingly and hang up.
I walk back over to the bon fire and see Patty and Crona making out on a log, Liz is knocked out resting on Kids shoulder, whose ranting about the symmetry of Patty and Crona's kiss. I look around for Tsubaki and Black*Star and find them talking on lawn chairs. "Hey guys." I say sitting in front of them. "Hey Maka, what took you so long?" Tsubaki asks and I think about wither telling them about my new 'fake' boyfriend. "I was just talking to someone." I decide not to tell her. "You mean Soul right." Black*Star says and I shoot him a quick glare. "He found me after you guy's little rant." He shrugs and I flinch remembering what he said, 'I lost you once.' Was playing back and forth inside my head.
"Yeah well he started it." I grumble. Tsubaki giggles a little. "What are you laughing about?" "It's just like old time with you two, like you never left." She smiles and I feel the corners of my mouth move up a little. "Yeah you right." I say nodding my head. "He said you had a boyfriend." Black*Star says giving me a look and I see Tsubaki's jaw drop. "You said you haven't dated ANTONE since you left." "I know, I know, but I, um didn't know how to tell you guys." I come up with a quick excuse. "Soul was pretty pissed." Black*Star says and I give him a deadly look. "I don't give a fuck what Soul thinks." I growl and see his eyes widen a little. "He's coming up tomorrow, he said he wants to meet everybody, you know all my best childhood friends. I talk about you guys a lot." I say with a smile and look at Tsubaki.
"What's his name?" she asks and I say, "Josh Merow." "How long have you two been a thing?" Black*Star asks. "Um a year now." I say the one that sounds the most believable. He just nods and I know he's going to tell Soul everything I say. "I'm so glad Maka; I can't wait to meet him!" Tsubaki jumps in her seat with a bright smile on her face. "Yeah, he's really great. We've been friends for about 4 years. He asked me out one night after some party and I really like him so I said yes." I'm going to have to remember all of this to tell him to make sure he knows what to say.
"Well I'm tired and I want to go home." I tell them standing up from my seat. "Yeah me to, lets go get the other's I'll drive." Tsubaki says. "Night babe, drive home safe. I gotta go find Soul before he gets eaten by a coyote." Black*Star laughs. "Wait, where's Soul?" I ask and kick myself for sounding worried. Black*Star looks at me for a second before answering. "After he came back from his little 'chat' with you, He stormed out with a bottle of Jack Daniels in his hands. Said he'd be back by tomorrow." "And you let him go, ALONE!? God you're a bigger dumbass then when we were kids!" I yell and see the look on his face. He's wearing a big ole smirk on his face and looks over to Tsubaki who has an evil look on her face. "Whatever you guys are thinking leave me out of it. Tsubaki I'm going to wait at the jeep." I tell them and start to walk off when I hear Black*Star call after me. "Didn't know you cared about Soul so much Maka?" I stop in my tracks and curse under my breath. "I don't." I say and start to walk off again when Tsubaki say's, "What did he tell you when you were alone?" I turn to look at them and see the very end of their hive five.
I glare at both of them. "He said that he liked me when we were little; okay are you happy he didn't say he liked me now." I cross me arms. "What did you say? That you want him just as bad as he wants you?" Black*Star says with a bigger smirk if possible. "He doesn't want me he was drunk, he didn't know what he was saying. And I have a boyfriend I don't want him never have never will." I say and look over to Tsubaki who smiles innocently. "I don't believe it for a second, you might fool everyone else but you can't fool a God. Never say never Maka, I thought you learned that lesson back in ninth grade." He laughs and my face goes red with embarrassment and anger. "I NEVER liked Soul!" I say and he says, "But you like him now, or you just don't realize it yet. But I know that you have some guy coming up tomorrow to make yourself feel better, because deep down you know that you, Maka like my best friend. A God can tell these things."
"That's it Black*Star if you don't stop talking right now I might have to do something I regret." I warn him and he gives me a funny look. "Like what Albarn? I'm just saying that I don't believe you have a boyfriend. But I guess we'll find out tomorrow won't we." he turns around and walks away and I look over to Tsubaki you is staring wide-eyed at me. I head to the car without saying a word all the way home.
Normal POV
The next day.
Josh is almost to the park when he needs to make a quick bathroom break. He pulls off into a gas station not seeing an orange motorcycle in the parking lot. He steps out of his black truck and closes the door behind him. He walks into the small store and finds the bathroom.
Soul needed to get some Aspirin and Sprite to help his migraine fro last night. He pulls into a small gas station a few minutes away from his apartment and heads to the isle where the medication is located.
Josh walks over to the cold area and pulls out a Coke and heads over to the cash register. In line, Josh sees a white headed man having an argument with the cashier. "Hey man I don't have any ID on me, I'm clearly old enough to buy a little bottle of Aspirin." He complains. "I'm sorry sir but I can't sell you this if you don't have any ID." The fat man at the counter says. "Fine just give me the fucking Sprite; I'll just deal with my headache another way. Ugh this is so uncool." He grabs the bottle and walks out of the store. Josh thinks for a minute before buying the bottle of medication for the stranger, he's clearly old enough, maybe older then him. He thanks the cashier and walks out of the place to the white haired man.
He sees him gulping down his drink sitting on his orange motorcycle and walks calmly over to him. "Hey man," josh says and when he looks up Josh tosses the small white container to him. Soul catches it quickly and looks at it. "Fuck, thanks dude. You have know idea how much I need this." He laughs and Josh smirks, "I've had my share of hangovers in the passed." They both laugh for a minute. "Well I have to get going but thanks again," Soul pauses and waits for a name. "Josh, Josh Merow." Josh holds out his hand and Soul takes it slowly. "Soul Eater Evans." Soul says and they both look at each other shocked. "You're Maka's boyfriend?" Soul asks and it takes Josh a second to reply. "Y-yeah, you're the guy that Maka talks about?" Soul smirks a little, "She talks about me?" "Yeah telling me how much of an ass you are." Josh chuckles and Soul glares. "I'm on my way to meet her at Gibbons Park right now." Soul says and Josh smiles. "Me too actually, mind showing me the way?" Josh asks and Soul rolls his eyes. "Sure why not." He says with venom dripping out of his mouth. Pulling on his black helmet he takes off down the road and curses himself for not kissing Maka when he had the chance.
