Chapter 4

Soul settled down after Black Star and them left, and after he set Maka down in her bed. He let out a sigh of relief, finally able to relax. But just when he started getting comfy Maka called. Of course Maka being the meister, and in this state Soul was going to listen to her every command. He quickly made it to Maka's room, she was in bed curled up with a small wet towel over her head.

"you called." said Soul as he stretched, while walking toward her. Soul removed the towel off her head and put his hand on her forehead. "you're head is still hot." He put the towel back on her head and was going to leave the room. "you hungry? or thirsty?"

Maka removed the towel from her head and weakly sat up 'um...bath, I want to cool off. Can you help me." Soul froze by the door, he turned looking back at Maka trying to understand her request. Maka slowly tried to move her feet off her bed and held her head. "I-I want to cool off." Soul turned and knew that what he heard before was what she just said.

Soul walked toward Maka helping her make her way to the bathroom. He let her sit on the edge of the tub, walked out, and got her clean towels, and a wash cloth. Maka was already setting the bath, but when Soul saw the steam rising he went to stop her. "Maka...thats not how you cool off. You're just gonna make yourself hotter." said soul as he turned the nob more to the cooler side. "here don't make it too hot, i'll make it a little colder than warm."

Soul began to walk out the bathroom thinking Maka was strong enough to care for her self when she requested "h-hey Soul...can you help...me" she was already stripping but she was so weak that she had a hard time removing her shirt.

Soul blushed at the sight "um...Maka are you sure that you want me to help. Your gonna be um, naked and stuff..." But Maka nodded weakly, and motioned for him that it was fine. She even made a remark that he shouldn't care because he said that she was flat chested. "you better not Maka chop me later, cause i'm taking your word that it's fine!." He turned with an arm over his eyes trying to navigate his way to her.

Maka weakly grabbed his hand saying "I thought y-you were a cool guy, and cool guys always s-see naked women..." That left Soul speechless, because she had burnt him twice. Soul tried not to look at Maka but her body was calling for his attention. As Soul helped Maka remove her shirt, his hands felt her skin, her soft hot skin.

Soul had feelings for Maka but, that was his meister. And he wasn't sure if she would like him the same way back. But all this exposure of his meister, and in places he's never seen of her was driving him a bit crazy, I meen Soul can't resist a naked lady but his meister. Double win. "oh my god, her skin is so soft, so this is what Stein was talking about during that fake battle shit. And it's so hot, what am I doing...Keep it together !" thought Soul as he helped Maka remove the last peice of outer clothing, all that was left was her under wear.

Soul was a bit surprised by the size of maka's breasts. They looked flat with her outer clothes on but without then, they looked a bit bigger. Maka weakly then began to strip of her underwear. Soul spun around "Okay Maka seems like you've got the rest covered, i'll be leaving." But Maka groaned, not because of his answer but because the water was cold. Soul turned seeing her fully naked, but only from behind. His pants grew tight.

She finally sat in the water but stayed curled up. Her teeth began chattering, and she started to reach for the nob and turn the water warmer. But Soul stopped her, still trying not to look at her even if the water coverd over her body parts. "b-but it's s-so cold. I d-don't l-like it." Maka chattered as she tried to move Soul's hand.

"Maka, I can't leave if your gonna try and turn the water warm." said Soul finally looking at her, causing him to drool slightly. He wanted her now, but he didn't like that thought because she was weak, and naked. She gave up trying to move his hand and pointed to the shampoo.

"W-well then d-don't leave. a-and since you're probably n-not g-going to leave, c-can you wash my h-hair. I-i don't feel too g-good to d-do it myself..." said Maka with her face growing a bit red, but not as bad as Soul's. It was like Maka was asking Soul to go mad. Maka was now just realizing how awkward she was being, but the fever was delaying her senses. But of course, struggling he agreed.

Maka looked so...sexy. Her wet hair was clinging to her face, and her body was all exposed but hidden by the soapy water. She was shivering but not as bad as when she first got in. Soul scrubbed her head gently, once in a while Soul would accidently pull Maka's hair which caused a cute noise to emit from her throat. Again Causing Soul's pants to get a bit tight.

Finally after all that suffering Maka asked Soul to leave because she was ready to get out. That bath actually set her to her senses, and to realize that a guy was in the bathroom with her naked, her roomate, her...friend. Soul lastly said that he would be cooking soup and it should be ready by the time she gets out, but he was wrong. Soul was okay at cooking, but he couldn't even open the can of soup. In other words he didn't even know how to use a can opener, so he just made sandwiches and poured the two a glass of ice tea.

Maka walked out of the bathroom with shorts and a tangtop and her hair a bit wet. She notice sandwhiches on the table instead of soup. "I bet Soul couldn't even open the can.." said Maka, she was feeling a lot better but still hot. She walked out to see Soul angerly biting on the can, hoping his sharp shark like teeth would cut through the tin. Failing and noticing that Maka was watching he smiled and quickly put the can down.

Maka smiled and quietly whispeared "baka.." For once she had forgotten about how bad she felt...and her depression. She sat at the table staring at the food. Soul was able to feel calm, and cool now that Maka was clothed. It;s been four hours since they saw medusa so Soul handed her the pills.

"The nurse told me to give these to you every 4 hours. They'll help with the fever." said Soul as he sat across of Maka. She easily swallowed them with only a sip of the ice tea. After that soul started to eat his sandwich, and Maka didn't. "whats wrong Maka, don't like the sandwich?" asked Soul as his Meister just stared at the food.

Maka looked up and shook her head. "I don't want to eat, and then barf it up." She pushed the plate toward Soul. soul looked quite shocked. He pushed the plate back and told her to not worry about that, but she pushed it back to him again.

"Maka if you don't eat your not gonna get better. I know you probably hate the feeling of having to barf but, just think of it as a step closer to not having to barf." Soul said trying to act like a know it all, but Maka gave a confused look. Soul smiled "just eat the damn thing, it'll make you better. Having a sick meister is so uncool." That caused Maka to laugh, and finally ate took a bite. And lucky for her she didn't have the feeling to barf, or the need to.
