Me: I apologize for cutting the last chapter short. I planned on going through the whole date but it was getting late and I was already exhausted from work so I just found the best place to stop. But not to worry. Chapter 4 will make up for it I promise.
Soul: It better. It just wouldn't be cool if it didn't.
Maka: Yeah yeah whatever Mr. Cool Guy.
Soul: Got that right.
Me: Maka if you would please.
Maka: S0uleaterevans does not own Soul Eater or any of it's character's.
Soul: R&R or I will eat your soul!
Chapter 4: Success? Or Failure?
Soul's pov
I led her to my bike and handed her the only helmet I had. Her safety has always been the first priority on my list.
Once I was sure she was holding on tight I kicked the motorcycle into life and we sped off toward the theatre.
Man this feeling again. It's so complex.
I love it, and hate it. All at once.
Her arms around me.
The two of us sharing body heat.
Feeling the wind whip my face and hair in all sorts of directions.
This rush of adrenaline.
Mixed with notions of love.
It felt amazing, and yet terrifying.
But I'm not one to complain. Complaining just isn't cool.
We reached the theatre about 20 minutes before the movie started. Good that gave us time to get snacks and find good seats.
After we got our fill of popcorn and soda we headed down the aisle to our theatre.
Sweet we're in luck. The center seats in the top row are open.
"Come on Maka I found some seats." I said grabbing her hand leading her to our seats.
I blushed a little realizing I just grabbed her hand. Hope she didn't mind.
After we sat down the previews began to play.
Nothing cool really. Just some teaser's and more chick flicks.
I risked a glance over at my meister and noticed she had her full attention to the big screen.
Her guard is down.
Now's my chance to make a move.
I think the old "arm stretch gag" will do the trick.
I stretched both my arms up and went to put my left arm around her…..but then….
"YAHOO! YOUR GOD HAS DECIDED TO GRACE YOU ALL WITH HIS DIVINE PRESENCE!"
No! not now! Not here!
What the hell is Black Star doing here?
Is he into chick flicks?
"Black Star, please be quiet. We are in a movie theatre and I don't want to get kicked out again." I heard Tsubaki scold him. She then bowed to everyone apologetically.
"Yeah ok sorry about that Tsubaki."
I guess he's here for Tsubaki. Ha that softie.
"Is that Tsubaki and Black Star?" I heard Maka ask.
Oh yeah. I'm doing the same thing for Maka.
But then again, my life is on the line. So I'm safe.
"Yeah but let's not attract their attention. I don't wanna get kicked out when we are trying to have a date." I said in my cool guy tone.
"Good point." she said, leaning on my shoulder.
SWEET! -coughs- I mean cool.
I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and watched as the movie started.
"SOUL! MAKA! IS THAT YOU GUYS?" I heard Black Star yelling!
Damn that annoying ninja.
"Just ignore him." I whispered to Maka. She only nodded.
"YOU TWO BETTER NOT BE IGNORING YOUR GOD!" he yelled before jumping over to where we were.
"Black Star you idiot keep it down! Maka and I are trying to watch a movie!" I said giving him a look that read "leave before I kill you!"
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt your little date scythe boy." he said busting out laughing.
And then the worst happened.
"Alright you four lets go. Out of my theatre."
No! damn it.
Behind Black Star stood the manager with a flash light. We were getting kicked out yet again because of Black Star's loud mouth.
"Wait a minute sir. We aren't with him." I said pointing to both me and Maka, and then Black Star."
"Yeah sure, lets go you four." he said dragging Black Star behind him.
I cant believe it. Not only was the first part of our date ruined, but the tickets were not refundable.
"I'm sorry about this Maka." I said looking down at the ground.
She only sighed.
"It's alright Soul. I mean it wasn't your fault." she said before readying her book.
"WHO DOES THAT BASTARD THINK HE IS KICKING HIS GOD OUT OF A-"
WHAM!
Poor bastard never saw the silent Maka Chop coming.
"I'm really sorry about ruining your date guys." Tsubaki apologized.
I blushed a little.
"Don't worry Tsubaki. It's not completely ruined." I said flashing my toothy grin. "I still got more planned for Maka and I today."
"Really Soul?" Maka looked at me bright eyed.
"Yep. I was gonna wait until later tonight, but I got us tickets to the amusement park here in town." I said triumphantly.
Good thing I still had step 5. it's just gonna have to be step 2 instead.
"Soul that's great I can't wait!" Maka exclaimed.
"Well let's get going then." I said with a smirk.
Yes I can still make this plan work out after all.
Once again we got on my bike and drove off.
It took us about a half hour to get to park. But today just wasn't a cool day for me at all.
In front of the gate stood a sign that read "Park closed for repairs"
YOU'VE GOTTA BE FREAKING KIDDING ME!" I yelled in my thoughts.
"Awww. What a bummer." Maka whined with pouty lips.
"Ugh so not cool. Now I gotta get a refund for these tickets. I'm sorry about this Maka. Jeez nothing is going right today." I said sounding a little pissed.
"It's ok Soul. We can just take a walk." she said with a smile.
"Walks aren't cool. How about we drive around the city for a while. You know. Do some sightseeing." I said with a bit of hope in my tone.
"Sure. That sounds nice."
"Alright hop on." I told her. Then I glanced at my watch.
1:30 huh.
So that means we got about four and a half hours to kill before dinner. We should go back home around 5 to give us enough time to get ready.
"We got about 3 and a half hours to kill Maka so where you wanna go first?" I asked her.
"Wait. What happens in 3 and a half hours?" she asked.
"You'll see." I said with a smirk. "Worry about that later. Where to?"
"How about the beach?" she asked.
Death City has a beach? But how? We are in the middle of a desert.
But sure enough. After following Maka's directions we arrived.
Death Shores.
We walked around for a bit. Taking in the sunlight and the smell of salt water. It had been a while since I've been to the beach.
"Ah it's been forever since I set foot on sand." my meister said with glee."
"What are you talking about we are in the middle of a desert. There's sand everywhere."
"MAKAAAA CHOP!"
"Right. never mind. Please enjoy yourself." I said giving her a thumbs up.
I quickly made friends with the very sand she was talking about.
We had walked along the beach for about an hour or so and then decided to just drive until it was time to head home.
Yeah. This is cool. Just me and Maka driving down an open road. Enjoying ourselves.
Once we got home I told Maka to dress in something formal.
"Why? We going somewhere fancy?" she asked.
"You could say that." I said giving her a smirk.
A few minutes later I stepped out of my room wearing my pinstriped tux with red dress shirt and black tie.
Maka stepped out of her room wearing her black dress.
It was like we were in the black room.
"You ready to go?" I asked her.
"Yeah." she said. I couldn't help but smirk when I saw her blush.
I opened the door. "Ladies first."
She only giggled and stepped out.
Maka's pov
This is so much fun!
I've never been on a date before.
Sure we got kicked out of the movie theatre because of Black Star.
And the amusement park was closed for repairs.
But I had an amazing time at the beach.
With just him.
I was finally getting the attention I wanted from him.
If this is a dream, don't wake me up.
"Hey Maka you coming or are you just gonna stand there?" he asked from his bike.
"Yeah sorry." I said.
We both got on the bike and drove off.
Ah I loved this feeling.
The feeling I get from riding on the back of his bike.
Wrapping my hands around his torso and exchanging body heat.
Feeling the wind whip my hair around.
A mixture of adrenaline and fear.
Adrenaline from being so close and going so fast.
And fear of falling off and drifting away.
I lived for these moments.
But they were always short lived.
We soon arrived at our destination.
Oh it was some place fancy alright.
The most fancy place in town!
Death Row!
"Soul! You got us reservations here?" I asked in pure shock.
"Of course I did. Only cool guys like me can get us a good reservation like this." he said with his cocky tone.
I hugged him tightly. "And you are the coolest!" I blurted out.
I felt him tense up beneath me, and I immediately let go.
"I-I'm sorry about that." I said a little embarrassed.
He then pulled me into another hug.
"No Maka it's cool. You just surprised me is all." he said flashing me his signature grin.
"Ok. So let's go inside then." I said.
"Yeah sure." he said extending his elbow out, signaling for me take it.
I did and we headed inside the fancy looking restaurant.
Soul's pov
"Evans. Reservation for 6pm." I told the host.
"Yes of course Mr. Evans right this way."
We followed the host to the window seat that I had requested.
It was the coolest seat I could have asked for. You could see the beautiful night desert for miles.
"Wow what an amazing view!" I heard Maka cry as she marveled out the window.
Soon the waiter arrived.
"Hello my name is…..Soul? Maka?"
Oh you've gotta be kidding me.
"Kid?" both me and Maka said in unison.
"What the hell are you doing here? Do you work here?" I asked him in disbelief.
He looked as if he saw a ghost. Then he gave me and Maka a death glare.
"Ok you two listen and listen good. I took this job as a favor to my father. Nothing more, nothing less. So this doesn't leave the three of us got it?" he really seemed ticked.
"Yeah sure. don't worry I wont tell anyone about your day job." I said chuckling.
"Soul that's mean." Maka scolded me. "Don't worry Kid your secret is safe with us." she assured the OCD shinigami.
"Thank you Maka. By the way the two of you look fairly symmetrical. At least your outfits match. Somewhat." he said.
"Uh thanks Kid." I said.
"So anyways. Can I start you guys off with a drink?"
"Yeah we will both have a glass of alcohol-free champagne." I said.
"Ah good choice." Kid noted. Then he walked off.
"Wow. To think Kid actually has a job." Maka said.
"Yeah. I wonder what he did to get stuck taking peoples orders." I said chuckling.
Kid soon came back with our dinks.
"There we go. Both glasses filled to the same amount of beverage. Absolutely perfect." he marveled.
"Uh yeah cool." I said a little nervously.
Maka only giggled.
"So you guys ready for me to take your order?" he asked.
"Yeah I will have the portabella mushroom chicken salad." Maka told Kid.
"And I will have the 9 oz. sirloin." I told him.
He twitched.
"That just wont do. The two of you have to get the same thing! Or else the symmetry will be lost!" the young shinigami bellowed.
"WHAT THE HELL KID IT'S JUST DINNER YOU OCD JERK!" I yelled a little too loudly.
"Soul watch the volume!" Maka said, looking ready to Maka Chop me to death.
I let out a sigh.
"Fine I will have what she's getting." I told kid in defeat.
"Very good then. I will bring it out as soon as it's ready." he took our menus and then left.
He is so not getting a good tip.
After Maka and I had a few conversations about little things like Black Star's inability to shut up and kid's OCD problem. Kid showed up with our food.
"Alright here we are. Two perfectly symmetrical salads." he stated setting them in front of us.
"Thanks Kid." both me and Maka said in unison.
"Call me over if you need anything else." he said before leaving.
We ate our meal while exchanging more conversations about trivial things.
This was great.
Just the two of us.
Enjoying a good meal while talking to each other like old friends.
But in a fancy place.
In a cool atmosphere.
I lived for these moments.
But they were always short lived.
After we finished eating I called kid over the bill.
I left him a decent tip. More than he deserved in my opinion. But I was in too good of a mood to care.
We left the restaurant, hopped on my bike, and made our way back to the apartment.
I fumbled to get my keys out of the pocket of my jacket.
Maka was hanging on my arm laughing her ass off at the sight of me trying to unlock the door.
We both entered laughing but immediately stopped as we both stared.
There on the couch was Blair…completely naked.
"Oh you guys are back already?" she said a bit shocked.
That was all I heard as I passed out on the floor.
Maka's pov
"BLAIR WHAT THE FUCK!" I yelled out of pure rage.
"Is he ok?" she asked pointing at my now unconscious, bleeding weapon.
"Freaking "a" he's out cold. Why the hell are you laying on our couch naked anyways Blair?"
"It was hot and I wasn't expecting you guys to come home until late. Guess it wasn't all that fun huh?" she said sounding a bit disappointed.
"What? How did you know?" I asked surprised.
"I overheard you guys last night." she said.
"I thought you went out." I said feeling betrayed.
"I did but came back when I saw Soul on his way home." she stated.
"Ugh whatever put some clothes on and help me get Soul to his room." I said. Man he's heavy. How can a teenage boy be this heavy in human form, but light as a feather in weapon form?
"Okie-dokie." she said.
She chanted some words and her outfit appeared on her.
She then helped me pick Soul up off the floor and we both carried him to his room.
"Ok I got it from here Blair. Go take a shower or something." I told her.
"Yeah ok I get it. I've caused enough trouble right?" she giggled. "I think I will head out to the town for real tonight." she winked.
And then she was gone.
Ugh that cat gives me a headache.
I cleaned the blood off his face with a wet rag.
He looked so hansom unconscious.
I'm not sure how long I was staring at him. But I realized I was as soon as his eyes opened.
"Hey Maka." he said lazily.
"Hey sleepy head." I replied.
As soon as he realized what had happened, he quickly glanced around.
"Is Blair still here?" he asked worriedly.
"No she left. Your safe." I said giggling.
"Good. That wasn't cool of me at all. Death that cat brings out the worst in me." he said scratching his head.
I smiled at him.
"Thank you for the awesome day Soul. I had a wonderful time." I said cheerfully.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yeah. It was really cool." I gave him a thumbs up.
"Cool." he simply replied.
"Well I'm gonna go get ready for bed. See you in-"
But I was cut off when he grabbed my hand.
"Maka….."
What is he doing?
"Maka there is something I've been wanting to tell you."
"What is it So-"
But I was cut off again.
Except this time by his lips.
And then everything seemed to go dark as our souls resonated involuntarily.
**Me: For some reason I have the song "Sex on Fire" by Kings of Leon stuck in my head now.
Black Star: Bow chica wow wow! Those two are getting it on!
Soul and Maka: SHUT UP IDIOT!
WHAM
Me: Holy crap. Black Star? What did you two do?
Maka: I only Maka chopped him.
Soul: And I hit him with the blunt end of my blade.
Me: Dear death you two just created a weapon more powerful than a Maka Chop. It's….it's…..a double chop!
Soul: Really?…..a double chop…..you couldn't think up a cooler name?
Me: I didn't have enough time.
Maka: It doesn't really matter guys. Can we focus please?
Me: Right. Well review or I will eat your soul!
Soul: Hey! That's my line!
