Oh Death, what the hell happened last night? She thought as she rolled over in bed, on top of the body next to her.
"Good morning, Mr Sleepy. Oh my head. You must've come in from work pretty late, you're still in your jeans and shirt" she yawned with her eyes shut tight. She opened them. It took a moment for her to realise "This isn't my bedroom" Her eyes were very wide indeed.
Where the hell am I? She thought. Wait, who the hell am I lying on?
He stretched. She looked up and saw white hair.
"SOUL!" she screamed the place down
"Ahh!" He jumped off the bed "Maka! What the hell!? Scaring me like that!"
"I scared you! How do you think I feel? I barely remember last night! And now I wake up in your bed! Oh my Death! Why am I in your bed!? What the hell happened? I need to call Trisan"
"You really don't remember?" he picked himself up off the floor.
"Do I look like I remember!?" she snapped "We didn't… Did we?!"
"No! No! Death, No! I wouldn't do that to you!"
"Good" she breathed a sigh of relief "So what happened?"
He didn't know where to begin.
"Soul, what happened last night?" she pestered
"You're not going to believe me if I tell you"
"Soul, please"
Okay… You told me you loved me and that you'd call off the wedding"
"WHAT!?"
"You sure you don't remember?"
"Of course I don-" she suddenly remembered. Her hand flew up to her gaping mouth. "Oh, Death! I did say that!"
"Did you mean it?" he dared to ask. He could feel his heart in his throat "Did you mean it when you said that you love me?"
She looked at her old partner. His fists were clenched tight. "Because I love you, Maka"
"Soul"
"If it's not true, please just let me go back to Ocianica. Don't make me sit through your wedding, it would kill me"
"Why would you think it wasn't true?"
"You were pretty drunk last night"
"I know how drunk I was, I'm feeling it now" she laughed a little in an attempt to lighten the mood, but it was in vain.
"Is it true, Maka?"
She took a deep breath and held his fist "Yes"
He looked at her. She was kneeling on the bed at eye level with him with such a warm smile. She meant it, she really, really meant it.
He smiled awkwardly before cupping her chin in his hands and gently kissing her.
"Hey' Soul, you want any- OH MY DEATH!" Tsubaki slammed the door. "I didn't see anything!" she shouted from the hallway.
"Tsubaki!" Soul ran after her. He caught her in the kitchen "Tsubaki, about what you saw-"
"I saw nothing" she was trying to hide her face in the fridge.
"Tsubaki, I know you saw me kiss Maka"
She took her head out of the fridge "What the hell, Soul!? She's getting married in less than two weeks!"
"I know!"
"Tsubaki" Maka followed "Please don't say anything to Tristan or Black Star, please"
"Say anything about what?" she laughed nervously
"Tsubaki, please" Maka pleaded
Their pregnant friend sighed "Alright, I won't tell them-"
"Thank you" the pair breathed a sigh of relief
"But you can't make me keep your secret for long. You have to tell them. You have to be honest"
"I know" Maka's chin fell to her chest "But how can I? 'Sorry Tristan, the wedding's off, I'm actually in love with my old partner who I haven't seen in three years'?"
"I don't know how you're to tell them. This is going to sound harsh, but there's no easy way, you just have to come out and say it"
"We'll tell him together" Soul held her hand. She looked at him. He had a smile that made all the problems disappear. She gripped his hand tighter.
"I better go get dressed" she smiled awkwardly as she realised she was standing in Tsubaki's kitchen in nothing but a giant tshirt. She left.
"Soul? What the hell happened last night!" Tsubaki whispered quite aggressively
"I don't know! One minute she was drunk and hated me so I took her back here to sleep but then she started saying that she loved me. I told her to get some sleep in the spare room and that I'd sleep on the couch but then she wanted me to spend the night with her-"
"Wait, you didn't…. did you?"
"No! I swear, she was twisted last night, I'd never take advantage of her like that!"
"Sorry for jumping to conclusions but when she walked in her in nothing but your tshirt… it looked suspicions"
"It's okay"
"So, what are you guys gunna do?"
He took a deep breath. "I don't know. I guess we'll have to talk about it first. I'm not going to lose her again, Tsubaki.
"Well I'll keep quiet for the next few days"
"Thank you"
"No problem. You want some breakfast?"
Good, Ol' Tsubaki, nothing gets in the way of breakfast :P
