Yo! Welcome to the epilogue of Soul Eater, Meister and Weapon! Well, actually, I would rather call it the final chapter instead of epilogue. Epilogue makes it sound like an afterthought chapter. Which this one isn't.
Anyway, thanks for reading this far! :3
"Come ooon! Tell me Soul! How'd you do it?" The blue-haired Meister was leaning over the table and was intently staring at the sliver-haired Weapon who had an agitated look across his face.
"Tell you what?" Soul's voice had an annoyed edge to it. His patience with Black*Star was starting to thin. He had been pestering Soul about the whole ordeal that put him and Maka in hospital for weeks, maybe a few months. Soul had lost track of time while in that white wash room.
Black*Star huffed at Soul's dodging of the subject. "How you beat that mad house." Black*Star paused for a few moments between each word, as if talking to a small child. Soul's eyes flickered to the small flinch that Maka gave to his right, without drawing attention to the reaction, Soul rebuked Black*Star for his bluntness before anyone else could.
"Jeez, Black*Star, it's a bit early for that, alright?" Soul added too much harshness to his words but thanks to his thick skull, Black*Star didn't take it too hard. The loud-mouthed teenager slumped back onto his seat and pouted with a ruffled expression. Soul and Maka had been discharged from hospital a little over a week ago but still had a couple bandages wrapped around arms, torsos, etc. The amount of medication that they needed to take had decreased recently, so that's a good sign.
Almost instantly another topic came up the conversation, probably from Kid. Soul was thankfully for the focus to be taken off from him and his Meister for the time being, they got enough attention from the other Meisters and Weapons from the academy.
The bell for lessons soon rang and the group of Meisters and Weapons went through their similar routines, going to classes, etc. When the Sun was becoming sleepy, the clock ticked over the last minute of school and they all made their way back to their homes.
Soul and Maka were walking through the cobbled streets of Death City at a brisk pace. Rose red light was spilling over the sky from the west as Soul and Maka arrived home.
"...oh, that reminds me, do you need my notes Dr. Stein's lesson today? You looked pretty clueless to me." Maka chuckled to herself at that last part as they walked into the small apartment. Soul denied knowing what she was talking about while closing the door. Soul then walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge and was staring at it with tried eye when he simple said:
"Crap."
"What's up?" Maka's puzzled eyes meeting his.
"Out of food."
"...crap." Maka repeated.
Silence filled the room until Soul lazily closed the fridge and asked Maka if she wanted a simple Chinese take-away, which she agreed. Ten minutes later, Maka was half eating her take-away and half teaching Soul about the lessons they just sat through at the academy while Soul was diligently listening and writing it down in a way he would understand and not like Sr. Stein's complex speech. The sun was slowly replaced with the moon as the Meister and Weapon talked until the sky was a deep ocean blue.
Maka was doing her regular routine before laying her head down for sleep but as she was caught a glimpse of the night sky and stared at it in wonder. Tiny white balls of gleaming light littered the deep sky almost randomly. The longer she stared the more shapes and objects she saw in the sky, a flower, a fish, etc but one shape that made her pause was one that looked oddly like a scythe. Maka cast her eyes to her Weapon cluttering about in the kitchen and smiled fondly.
Soul heard soft footsteps enter the kitchen and turned to say something to Maka but his words were completely lost in the soft lips that greeted his. It took a second for Soul's brain to process what was happening but when his lagging mind caught up he gently returned the kiss with pleasure.
"Thanks for being my Weapon, Soul." Maka said breathlessly when they finally broke apart.
"No problem," Soul replied with his similar shark-toothy grin, "and thank you for being my Meister."
Ayyyyyyy! Congrats! We had it! So how was it? Tell me what you thought about it!
Well, I feel like this was a good payoff. I felt like there weren't enough SoMa payoffs here, so then I wrote that little kiss scene.
Soooo... What's next...?
Ah! I've been thinking about writing a Natsu Dragneel x Lucy Heartfilia fanfic. And yes, I know I wrote subtle hints to a Tokyo Ghoul fanfic but I realised my idea is probably the most common Tokyo Ghoul fanfic plot out there. So maybe another time.
Thanks for reading!
