Hey there sexy. So uh *bites lip in seduction* do you come here often? ;) Hey guys I don't know how many times I'm going to apologize but uhhh...Gomennasai! *puts hands together and bows repeatedly* This time I have an excuse though! I have family members in the house and they have been here for literally all of summer so, of course, I had no chance to write because my parents kept telling me 'YOU NEED TO SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY YOU PEDASO DE MIERDA. GO HAVE SOME FUN INSTEAD OF HIDING FROM THE SUN AND BEING ON THE COMPUTER ALL DAY! YOU NEED THE EXCERCISE YOU GEEK! *FLIPS TABLE*' Well, they weren't really like that but in my head they were. Anyways, I am here now even though nobody cares, yay! So, I present to you Chapter 3 of "As Long As I'm With You" *magestic*
I do not nor will I ever own Soul Eater. All rights go to Funimation, Atsushi Okubo created the manga, and Takuya Igarashi directed it.
The only thing that could be heard on the silent, Saturday morning was the sound of Maka's heavy footsteps hitting the pavement. Ever since she left the house, running after Crona, she hasn't even stopped to take a breath. She lost track of him after a while or so, but that didn't stop her. She continued to search for him. She would search all throughout Death City if she had to, her memory of Crona's dissappointed face had already burned through her mind. She was determined to find him, no matter what it took. And once she's grabbed a hold of him... Then what? Still, her legs kept running. When Maka began to lose hope in ever finding the boy she suddenly came across the idea of checking his room in DWMA. Once again, her feet were hitting the stoned floors until she finally reached the entrance to Crona's room.
As she leaned her head against the door, trying to catch her breath, she tried coming up with something to say to him, anything. But time ran out as her breath finally steadied. Just say to him what you actually feel, apologize, be honest, just say anything to fix this. It's your fault he's crying, use that for motivation. Maka took a deep breath as she slowly opened the heavy door. He was where she had guessed, in his little corner on the left side of the room. Not only was he sobbing but Ragnerok was taunting him again. "Ya see, what did I tell ya? I knew little miss pig-tails was gonna dump your sorry heart. I knew it you loser, I knew it, I knew!". He smacked Crona's head repeatedly as he tried to prove his point. But, the fragile boy was too hurt to fight back. Ragnerok's teasing was interrupted by Maka's dictionary hitting him upside the head immediately sending him back inside Crona without another word. Of course, Crona didn't even bother to look up, it seemed as though he had brought his knees even closer to his forehead, if that was even possible.
Maka studied him before falling down to her knees, almost bursting into tears at the sight of his crouched position. "Crona...". Maka tried to approach him in a sympathetic way, but she received no answer. She had no idea how she could actually apologize to her broken hearted friend, so, she sat down next to him. Not another word was spoken during their five minute silence. Maka understood that Crona needed his space for a while, after what he just witnessed it's a bit of a lot to take in. "Crona... I know you probably won't listen and/or talk to me", she looked over at him then stared ahead at the grey wall, "But, I really am sorry. I know what I did was stupid and immature, I never meant to hurt you...", Her eyes closed as three warm tears rolled down her cheeks. Things will never be the same between the two of them, Maka knew that, but she just wished she could make everything all better...
"Maka?". Her eyes slowly opened in response to Crona's voice. "I... I forgive you...". She couldn't believe he had forgiven her already, why so quick? Did he just say that so she can hear what she wanted and leave? Was he so depressed that he didn't even know what to say anymore? Did Ragnerok's fists damage his brain? But this is what she wanted, wasn't it? She wanted his forgiveness and she wanted to make everything right. Then, why didn't everything seem so right?...
Maka grabbed Crona's shoulders and made him face her. His face was... Sort of crushed. Like when a toddler drops his ice cream for the very first time. His eyes were puffy, from all the tears. His nose was stuffy, from all the wiping. His cheeks were red, from all the attempts to wipe away the water that fell from his eyes. She knew it, she knew everything wasn't alright. "Crona". Maka whimpered. "I'm sorry Maka, I tried to stop. But, once you start crying, you can't stop. Not even if you wanted to". Crona wailed as he tried to wipe away his tears. Maka smiled softly and hugged the boy with the pink hair as comforting as she could. Crona was quiet for a few seconds until he finally decided to bring his arms up and wrap them around her, again sobbing. Maka was surprised, for she found herself crying as well. They weren't tears of sadness, but they were tears of joy. She thought her friend would never want to talk to her again, she thought he would hate her, she thought so many things would change. She was wrong, which made her overwhelmed.
"Crona, I'm so sorry!", she cried, "I'm such and idiot for hurting you like this, you are my friend. And...And friends don't hurt their friends like this. I really do love you Crona, I don't know if my feelings towards you are romantic or friendly, all I know is that I do love you. And I- and I-". She was interrupted by the collision of Crona's lips against hers, immediately shutting her up. She left her eyes open in surprise, staring at the boy's closed eyelids. After a while she eventually gave in and closed her eyes to take in the warmth of his body. His tears falling on her cheeks awoke her from her trance and she pulled away, hands placed on his chest. She couldn't stand to look at him, not while her face was feeling this hot. Although, the boy didn't care because his face was just as flustered as hers. Once he finally gained enough confidence to embrace her, he pulled her body against his. Of course, Maka didn't resist. She liked hugging Crona, it was calming and it made her happy. She was happy to know that he actually did forgive her. She was happy to know that things between them weren't ruined. She was happy that she didn't lose someone special to her...
She... She was happy.
She didn't think that she was going to be involved with neither Soul nor Crona, but she was definitely going to stay best friends with the both of them. Because, strong feelings don't always mean that you are in love with a person, but it could mean that you would do anything for that special someone. In this case Maka has two special someones, and fortunately, she will always have a place in her heart especially for them~~
...Um...Yeah...A couple of things...I'm sorry that this ended up being only 3 chapters when I promised 5. I was running out of ideas for this fanfic and I always wanted this ending, since the beginning. If you stayed with me ever since chapter 1 of "As long as I'm with you" then thank you so much! Cookie for you! *hands cookie* But yeah, on a serious not I was actually really excited when I first started these fanfic chapters or however you call them and I'm just as happy now that I actually finished it, and I'm actually really satisfied with the last chapter and the ending. Again, thank you all for reading my fanfic and I hope to see you soon. Actually it'll probably be really soon because I have a lot of new ideas that I wanna try out on you guys and I'm super excited for these too.
