'What the hell am I doing!? I'm kissing somebody! Not only is he a somebody, but he's SOUL EATER EVANS! I'M KISSING SOUL EATER EVANS! HE'S KISSING ME! WE'RE KISSING!' So many thoughts race through my head as I wrap my arms around Soul's neck pulling him closer. He moves his hands from my face and to my waist, also pulling me closer. Let's just say that right now there is absolutely NO space between us.
I still have no idea what I'm doing, sure I've read almost every romance novel and watched pretty much every romance movie out there but I'm just going on impulse and adrenaline. We just kiss for a few more seconds before I feel something run across my bottom lip begging for entrance. I curiously open my mouth a little to see what it was when out of no where his tongue is in my mouth! I never thought I would like this kind of thing but It felt amazing.
I moaned into his mouth, and I felt him smirk against my lips and I giggled a little. He put one of his hands on the back of my neck and pulled my face closer than before. His tongue ran over my gums and on the roof of my mouth and every now and then it rubbed against mine which sent hot shivers down my spine.
I didn't know if I was a good kisser or not so I thought I would experiment a little bit. I pushed my tongue into his mouth skillfully avoiding getting but by his shark teeth. At this Soul groaned loud and hard at this and it was my turn to smirk. 'Bingo.' I thought to myself. After a few more minutes of that he pulled his tongue out and just nibbled on my bottom lip breathing heavily.
He pulled away and laid his forehead against mine. I opened my eyes and met crimson. All the blood from my body rushed to my face, my lips were on fire and swollen big time. "How * was that * for * your* first kiss." Soul smirked at the squeak that left my throat. "Is that how all kisses feel?" I asked stupidly and he threw his head back and laughed. "Only if there good kissers." He smiles. "Oh well, um" I fidget nervously with my fingers looking at the ground. "Well, was I you know, bad?" I whisper quietly. I hear him chuckle but I don't look up.
I feel his thumb and it index finger tilt my chin up and makes me look at him. He leans down and kisses my again. This time it's slower, probably what a regular first kiss would feel like, short and sweet. Don't get me wrong, that was probably the best first kiss in the whole world.
He pulls away and flashes me a bright smile. "You are absolutely amazing at kissing. Are you sure I'm not your first?" He raises an eyebrow and I laugh. 'I'm positive." I smile. "Good, you know how long I wanted to do that Maka? How long I've waited to feel that spark, I felt when we were kids?" He asks me and I shake my head nervously. "I've wanted to do that since the first day I met you, the very first time I saw you in class sitting in front of me. The time I saw you giggling when your red soda landed on me, when I tripped you on your birthday, I swore you were the cutest girl ever when I saw you pout. But the day you left literally broke me Maka, I didn't sleep or eat for days." He tells me and I get this bubbling feeling in my stomach.
"You want to know how I knew it was you that night at the bon fire" He asks me and I nod eagerly. "Your Eyes." He says. "What?" My breath comes out shaky still a little whipped from the kiss. "Your eyes gave you away. You are the only person in this world with that color of green eyes, I never forgot that color, and it's been my favorite color since 2 grade." I blush and he chuckles darkly.
"You know now that I think about it," I start, looking up to meet his gaze. "I think I've liked you too, for a long time really." I say and he leans in closer. "How so?" He asks. "Well, When I moved all I could think about the whole drive was the look on your face when I told the class I was leaving, of coarse I thought about all my friends and such, but I just couldn't help it. And then whenever I text Tsubaki she would either say, I'm taking care of Black*Star and Soul, they got into a drunken fight, or Just hanging out with the group, listening to Soul's music. I always felt this pang of jealousy, but I never really acted on it. I just thought that you never wanted to hang out with my friends until I left, and when I did you guys all became best friends." I say sadly and watch guilt wash over his face.
"It was the closest thing I had to you, and after Tsubaki and Black*Star became a thing I was dragged along with him. They told stories about you, and whenever Kid or someone got a text or call from you saying that your at the beach with some friends, or Drake took you to the library, or you know whatever else you did down there. They would always tell each other and I would listen, wondering if you forgot about me or not." Now it was my turn to feel guilty.
"To be honest, I thought about you a lot more then I should've. I always told out stories to my friends down there, told them that you put worms and rollie pollies in my peanut butter sandwich before lunch. And how that one year on Valentines day, you sent Ox that 'Love' letter telling him that I loved him and that he was the smartest boy in school, and then saying it was from me!" I stomped my foot and he laughed hard. "Oh I remember that! The look of disgust on his face was priceless!" I smack his arm.
"The thing is, is that I think I've liked you to, and when I mistakenly told them about the little thing that happened in the woods, they would never let me live it down, so whenever they caught me glaring at my phone they immediately guessed it was about you." I sighed.
"Well, where does this leave us exactly, because you just told me you've been madly in love with me for the longest time?" Soul exaggerates. And I punch his shoulder, "I did not say that." I cross my arms stubbornly. "Well it was pretty close to it, I on the other hand am not afraid to admit it. Here I'll do it right now." He grabs my shoulders and pulls me closer to him, resting his forehead against mine, looking right into my eyes, and saying.
"Maka Angel Albarn, I'm pretty sure I know you better then anyone else you know. You hate you middle name with everything you've got, your favorite color is red because you like that it can mean more than one thing. Your favorite book is 'Peter Pan' by J.M. Barrie. You say your favorite animal is a giraffe to avoid getting yelled at by Patty but you really love sharks preferable great whites. Your favorite flower is a white rose. Your favorite fruit and vegetable are strawberries and tomatoes. You love the ocean, and you are a total bookworm, you don't like rollercoaster's but you love Farris wheels and marry-go-rounds. You've never had a boyfriend because you're afraid you'll end up hurt and heartbroken. And this right now," He stops and kisses me slightly. "Will be your third kiss, by the same person who gave you your first kiss tonight." He breathes heavily and closes his eyes for a minute. A few tears drop from my eyes as I blink.
Soul chuckles and looks back up at to me, moving his hands from my shoulders and to my rosy cheeks rubbing away the tears. "So Maka, what I'm trying to say is that, I'm not sure what love feel's like, but if I'm not already madly in love with you, then I know that I'm pretty damn close. Because whenever I'm around you, I have the urge to smile like an idiot and show off my shark teeth because of that one time Wes was making fun of them and you stood up for me and told them that you love my teeth and wish I'd smile more often so you could see them." I blush brightly at the memory. "My heart skips a beat whenever you catch my eyes, my stomach does this weird flipping thing whenever I hear you laugh, and at first it scared the hell out of me but now, I like the feeling. I love watching you read books I could do it all day honestly. So yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm in love with you Albarn, what do you say to that?" He smirks.
I gulp loudly and think in my head. 'I cannot believe what I'm about to say, I'm about to tell my worst enemy that I love him, my enemy from 2 grade.' I take in a deep breath and start to word my thoughts.
"I really don't know how to say this, because I've never said it before and never in a million years did I think I'd be saying this to the boy I've known practically my whole life, the same boy who picked on my every day, made me eat bugs more times then once, hung my bra on the flag pole when I was 13, sent love letters to people I absolutely hate. And I can't believe that the same boy that would've taken my first kiss 5 years ago, took it tonight." I stop for a second thinking it over one more time before meeting his beautiful deep red eyes.
"What I'm trying to say is that I'm in Love with You. There is no 'pretty sure' or 'maybe' but I know that I love you, and I've loved you for the longest time." I say and Soul chokes on his spit before shouting out in joy. "I love you to Maka, God I love you so much!" He picks me up by the waist and kisses me again. The same kind of kiss as my first one, but this one is filled with more love and passion, I couldn't describe it, and all I knew is that it definitely made my toes curl.
After we pulled away, we were both panting hard trying to catch our breath. "You are the best kisser, like ever." Soul pants and I laugh. "You aren't to bad yourself." "YO SOUL GET A ROOM!" We heard Black*Star yell over the music from the club. "WAIT IS THAT MAKA? HAHAHA PATTY, KID YOU OWE YOUR GOD 100 BUCKS!" We laugh when Patty, Kid, Liz and Crona, along with Tsubaki's jaw drop to the cement. "Your God knew it all along; you guys would've taken each other right here if I didn't show up! It's a good thing a God like me respects the law, NO PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION!" Black*Star shouts with a crazed laugh.
Soul just stares at me for a minute before he speaks up. "So does this mean, you know that you'll be mine?" Soul asks and I giggle. "I wouldn't have it any other way, as long as you'll be mine?" I raised an eyebrow and he smiled the biggest smile I've ever seen him do. "I've wanted to here that for so long Maka!" He picks me up and spins me around, I wrap my legs around his waist and kiss him, ignoring the hoots and hollers from our friends in the back ground.
"I love you Albarn." Soul whispers against my swollen lips. "I love you too Soul Eater Evans."
