A/N- Thank you for reading thus far! My last chapter was extremely short but I figured that I would make up for it with a longer chapter this time. It took forever but I've done it! I'm going to wrap up a little with Maka and Soul to switch to Black*Star and Tsubaki. No, this will not be the end of the SoMa! I just wanted to get the TsuStar going and hopefully it will progress faster than the last one…in fact…It WILL progress faster. Everything that's going on in the TsuStar probably happened around a few days before SoMa. I'm not sure but I'll try and stitch a few details together to show what's happening when. If I don't I'm sorry. - I thought of the storyline for my TsuStar after writing my SoMa so I can't really place when it happened.
Disclaimer: I don't own Soul Eater…but if I did, Death the Kid would be mine!
Maka began to wake up, feeling that she wasn't on her own bed or even on a bed. The heat she felt wasn't coming from her heated blanket but instead from… 'Soul?' He opened his eyes a little and smiled down at her, "Finally decided to wake up?" She shrugged, being used to sleeping in similar positions before. She snuggled into his bare chest and asked, "Why do I feel so…weird?" He held on to her and snickered, "Maybe it's because you were asleep on top on me in only a bra and panties?" She jumped up into a straight position and looked at her barely covered body. Her face turned red as the sudden realization dawned on her: they were both nearly naked, "What did we do last night Soul?!" He laughed and pulled her down to his chest again, "If you're expecting that we had a very fun night then you're wrong" He took a deep breath in and sighed, "Last night our resonation went back to normal" Maka could feel it, it felt like a warm blanket wrapped around her soul and it made her feel safe. Or maybe it was just Soul's arms that did that for her. She didn't want to break the peaceful silence that they had but her mind was starting to take over where her soul had been, "What does that mean Soul?" He kissed her head, "It means that we are right back where we were before Stein made us use those candles" Maka liked that answer. It meant that there wasn't any obligation to have a relationship, that they could care about each other like they had before, and that when the time was right, they could have whatever they wanted. Maka wanted to show Soul that she was thankful for his support. He didn't drop her at the first sign of weakness or fear. Instead, he held on to her and faced it head-on with her. She looked up at him and smiled, "Thank you Soul…" Her soul reached out and told him the rest, 'I love you' Soul smiled in total bliss as he could feel their resonation making their hearts beat in sync with each other, "I love you too Maka"
BLACK*STAR & TSUBAKI
Tsubaki woke up extra early that morning to make Black*Star his favorite foods. She didn't have any particular reason for doing so but Black*Star did appreciate it when she did. When she heard her Meister wake up and start his morning exercises, she had already cooked his food, set the table, and had taken her morning shower. When she was fully clothed she went to Black*Star's room and knocked on the door, "Hey Star, I made breakfast this morning. When you're done, it's sitting on the table" She could hear him still counting his pull-ups and making grunts with each one, but knew he heard her. It was nearly impossible for him not to since the chin-up bar was attached to the door and she had learned to knock extra loud for him. Soon as she heard him sigh confidently, he emerged from his room and smiled brightly at Tsubaki. He was about to sit down at the table but Tsubaki hurried over and stopped him, "A God must be clean for his subjects, ne?" She asked in a timid, questioning voice. It was a new tactic Liz was teaching her to get Black*Star to do what she wanted. It was a simple, childish way but it worked. She would simply challenge his 'Godliness' in a playful manner, making it nearly impossible for him to refuse. Tsubaki could see the gears in his head turning as his lips puckered and his eyes went to the ceiling. Soon, his mouth turned up to a large grin and he bragged about himself, "A DIVINE CREATURE AS GREAT AS I SHALL NOT DISAPPOINT MY SUBJECTS!" He held his fist in the air as if challenging the world to tell him otherwise. Where there was no reply other than Tsubaki's usual smile, he made his way to the bathroom and shut the door. When the water was running, Tsubaki let out the breath she forgot she was holding and let her mouth gape open slightly before whispering to herself, "It worked?" She wasn't too sure if he would take the bait but then again Black*Star was more like a child than anything else. She couldn't see him not taking that bait—the more she thought about it. She began grinning to herself remembering just how childish he really was with each and every antic. The range was from jumping out on his stage loud and proud, to trying to peak at her when she was bathing. Her heart almost stopped as she thought about how un-childish his peeping tom habit was. Sure children got curious but they were naturally forward about it, she grew up in a small community complex so she was used to it. Black*Star was secretive—or tried to be since he was always heard. Tsubaki began cleaning the pan she used to cook the food in and let her thoughts wander. 'He hasn't tried peaking lately…maybe he just gave up' She heard the water shut off and her Meister came out with a large grin once again plastered to his face, "Has your GOD pleased his subjects?!" Tsubaki nodded with little enthusiasm, "Yeah Black*Star" She couldn't keep her mind off of her thoughts at the moment. Her meister had been acting weird but she couldn't piece together why. When he sat at the table, her mind came back to earth so she twirled around with a smile, "Is the almighty Black*Star enjoying his meal?" He stopped shoveling the food, mid-spoonful to look over at her with a serious look in his eyes, "Are you okay Tsubaki?" She held her smile, "Yeah, I'm just thinking that I'll go to the bath house today. I need a day to myself" He smiled a little but his face soon went a dark shade of crimson and he lowered his head, "I'msorryTsu, Ihavetogo!" It was all jumbled out so fast Tsubaki didn't get a chance to even comprehend it. He rushed out the door after grabbing a jersey and slammed the door. Tsubaki looked at the plate still full of food and gasped in fear, "He's avoiding me!" She went to the phone and called the only person who she could trust with her fears: Maka. She heard it ringing and ringing and looked at the calendar they had tacked up, "Oh…" She knew that the one day out of the week, Maka went out with her Papa. It had taken his devotion, years of promising and keeping them, along with the Kishin inside the school to be defeated for her to agree to meet with him. Tsubaki didn't want to interfere with her already fragile relationship with her father so she called the next best person on her list: Liz. She had to call her cellphone because ever since they decided to make the trio's living arrangement permanent, Kid was very particular about the time to call and the number of rings that were acceptable before answering. When she heard Liz answer, she went immediately to her problem, "Liz, I think Black*Star's avoiding me for some reason—I can't seem to figure out why, he hasn't been himself lately—although it's a nice change for him not to be peeping at me—but he still isn't being normal!" Liz began laughing at Tsubaki's expense but said through her breaths, "I'll be over in a few minutes"
Liz arrived at their flat and knocked on the door. No sooner did she lift her knuckle for the second knock, did Tsubaki answer looking a little distressed. It was different seeing that side of Tsubaki: confused and hurt. She took her arm and led her to the table but as soon as she sat her friend down to comfort her, she stood up again, "I'll make some tea!" Liz took ahold of her wrist, "I would love a cup of coffee" Her need for coffee that day made priority over her friends since Kid was being anal about her favorite coffee brand. Liz watched her get everything ready with ease but knew something would make her snap again. Her friend was hiding behind a mask, keeping her body and mind busy while trying to calm down. Liz didn't know how she could tell but the more she thought about it, she realized, "Did Black*Star notice how jumpy you are?" Tsubaki almost dropped the pitcher full of coffee when she heard those words but recovered before anything broke or spilled, "Is he worried that I won't be a useful partner?!" Tsubaki always thought the worst and she knew it was her weakest point. Her devotion was something she didn't joke about though. Liz laughed once more but not out of heartlessness, out of the pure obliviousness Tsubaki had of the situation, "Hun, he's not avoiding you because of that. Now sit down with me and let's do our make-up to talk about it" Tsubaki's shoulders began to relax and a small smile crept up on her face, "Alright" She sat down and let Liz take out her make-up kit while asking menial questions, "How was your morning?" Tsubaki thought it over, "I made breakfast for Black*Star" "And what did you make?" Liz asked nonchalantly "Some onigri with the left-over rice from last night?" She nodded and took Tsubaki's hand to start filing her nails, "And what was the first thing he said after eating?" Her eyes lowered and she bit her lip, "He asked me if I was okay" Liz grinned a little, knowing they were getting somewhere, "Were you thinking about anything in particular before he asked?" Liz tried not to sound too interested so Tsubaki wouldn't get scared and over-think her questions. She was relieved when Tsubaki answered without her usual reserve, "How much like a child he is—or used to be" Liz stopped abruptly, "What makes you think he's still not that child?" She went back to her pace but switched hands to cover her sudden stop. Tsubaki shrugged, "Well he always used to…peek at me while I was taking a bath or at the bathhouse. It was so childish but I believe he's grown out of it" Her face was red as she realized how well Liz could get her to say how she really felt. Liz kept her friend's pampering but fought the urge to smile. Instead, she kept her face calm and cool, "Well, if he's not peeking at you, isn't that a good thing?" Liz looked over at Tsubaki to read her reaction but she heard a giggle and even saw a smile, "I know but that signified that he would keep trying for his dreams. Maybe the child grew up a little but lost ambition along the way" Liz shrugged and mumbled, "Maybe….but just because you can't see or sense him doesn't mean he isn't there" It was only a small thought but Tsubaki's mouth gaped open once again, "Do you really think that?!" Liz tried to calm her down, "It was only a joke! You know Black*Star. He's the exact opposite of stealthy" She gave the thought more of a humorous light but Tsubaki still didn't seem to bite, "You really haven't seen Black*Star when he's serious, have you?" Liz only wanted to calm her down, she knew that Black*Star was a Class S assassin and stealth was his best trait as one, "Of course, but as your partner he wouldn't just lie to you! If he really peeked at you, wouldn't he have told you?" She laughed at the thought so Tsubaki wouldn't think too much more on it and she finally began to relax again, "Your right" Liz just finished the second coat of Tsubaki's nails when her cell sent off again playing a circus theme, "Yeah Patty?" Tsubaki stood up and began air-drying her nails to keep herself busy but she heard Liz's end of the conversation, "Just motivate him…yes…yeah duh…" She moved the phone away from her ear during Patty's screaming fest then whispered to Tsubaki, "It's for you" She handed the phone over and Tsubaki answered unsure if it was a good idea, "Hello?" Patty told her, "Here's your no-fun, no-basketball-talent—" "Okay, PATTY!" Tsubaki heard Black*Star on the other end and then his normal inside voice was used, "Hey Tsubaki, wanna play basketball with us?" She looked to Liz to explain why he was suddenly asking her and she just shrugged, "Don't ask me, Patty just told me to hand you the phone" .Black*Star's voice went quieter, "I need to talk to you…" Tsubaki knew that if he needed to lower his voice that much, he was just using the basketball game as an excuse. She tossed over Liz's phone back to her and she hurried up and got out her exercising clothes. She put up her hair and put on the clothes faster than Black*Star could do 5 push-ups. Liz was back on the phone with her sister trying to get some information on Black*Star and why she was at the court with him in the first place. Tsubaki looked at Liz and said in a hurried voice, "Let's go!" She stood up from her chair and pointed to her own clothes. "Do I look like I'm dressed for any athletic activity?" Tsubaki rushed to her room and grabbed the nearest clean shirt and sweat pants then tossed them at Liz, "Let's go now" Liz sighed but followed her friend to their destination.
When they were near-by, Patty waved over, "Sis, Sis!" Liz rolled her eyes, already in a bad mood since she not only couldn't finish another cup of coffee, but she was being forced to attend a basketball game that she didn't want to play in. She called Tsubaki's name and pointed to the nearest rest area, "I'm going to change, go see what your Meister wants" Tsubaki nodded and walked over to him. She was surprised when he saw Soul talking and laughing with him, "Hey Black*Star, Soul. Where's—" He pointed to the bench and said, "Maka said that if she could just sit and referee the game, I would get the night off from the dishes" Tsubaki went to her other friend and smiled, "Hey Maka" She put down her book and sighed, "Hey Tsubaki. Where'd Liz go? Patty said she was coming and I need to talk to her about something…" Tsubaki's mood dropped slightly, "Is everything okay?" Liz walked over to the other girls, "What's wrong?" Maka mumbled, "Soul suggested that I upgrade my wardrobe…" Liz grinned, now feeling that the trip wasn't wasted, "All three of us can go later today. Right, Tsubaki?" She nodded eagerly, thinking that a shopping trip with the girls would be just what she needed. Black*Star yelled over, "Oi! Are you girls playing or what?!" Soul tossed the ball over at Maka but Liz caught it, knowing how athletically impaired she was, "Just a minute!" Patty yelled over, waving her cellphone, "Yoohoo! Someone's on the phone for you!" Liz looked over angrily and yelled back, "If Kid wants to get ahold of me, he can come here himself!" Soul and Black*Star laughed at Kid's predicament, while trying to catch their breaths, "What a wimp!" Black*Star shouted. "Being afraid of a girl's feelings? Not cool" After hearing Soul's words, Black*Star could feel a chill up his back but grinned just the same, "Right. Tsubaki, are you coming?" She rushed to his side while Liz took her time. She counted up heads and frowned, "We need another player or someone sits out" Soul looked to Maka but received a glare from over her book. Soul shrugged, "Either we get Kid here or someone—" Patty giggled and raised her hand, "I'll sit this game!" She sat just outside the bound-lines, and went through her bag while going through her bag. She pulled out some crayons and a notebook and said excitedly, "SCORE!" Liz rolled her eyes and whispered to the boys, "If you're going to get competitive, don't count on her to keep score" Black*Star groaned and Tsubaki was about to go to Maka to plead her to keep score so he wouldn't get too upset but Soul went over to her instead. She watched as he tried to convince her but was interrupted by her Meister, "Hey, Tsu" She jumped, not really used to him sneaking up on her, "Oh! It's just you" His smile widened, "Didn't sense me did you?" She shook her head and he looked to the ground, seeming like he was thinking of something else, "I thought not…" Tsubaki started to worry and put her fears behind so she could talk clearly with her Meister, "Are you okay Black*Star? You were acting pretty weird this morning. You didn't even finish the meal I woke up extra early to cook for you" He smiled, "Sorry Tsu, I didn't think about that too much…My mind's been occupied" Tsubaki kept quiet, waiting for the rest but it didn't come. She tried to keep it going, "What's been bothering you?" He took a deep breath but didn't say anything as he let it out. He tried again but with the same result. Soul came back and said, "I just made another deal with the boss. She'll keep score. It's the only useful thing she can do that has anything to do with basketball" Black*Star finally said something to her, "A deal. I'll tell you if you win. Guys against girls" Liz put her arm around her, "You're on! First to five wins" Tsubaki stuttered trying to disagree while Liz tugged her to get the ball sitting by Patty, "B-b-bbut—I don't think—I h-honestly—" Liz took ahold of her shoulders and shook her a little to get her to look into her eyes, "Do you want to find out or what?" Tsubaki nodded, "That wasn't my problem…Black*Star has been practicing since his last defeat" She whispered the last word in fear of her Meister over-hearing her, "He's a lot better than us on his own, without Soul" Liz smirked, "We'll win. Just trust me and do your best" When Tsubaki was handed the ball, Black*Star yelled over, "HAYAKU! ASOBU HOSHII!" Maka yelled over, "Damare, Black*Star!" Tsubaki checked the ball to him and immediately he took the shot and made it. He grinned with triumph and Tsubaki looked over to Liz and said the one thing she had promised herself she would never say, "I TOLD you so" Liz shrugged and said playfully, "If he really needed to talk to you, he would let you win" Tsubaki sighed and took the ball and passed it to her, "You check then" She took her position closest to the net and watched at Black*Star switched with Soul to block Tsubaki. Soul, she knew she could get past—since it was her that helped Black*Star train for basketball. When it came to Black*Star, she knew she wouldn't be the one to make a shot unless he wasn't there. She looked to Liz when it was checked to her and shook her head quickly and darted her eyes from her meister and back. Liz smiled but shrugged and went around Soul to make a shot. Black*Star went away from Tsubaki just for a moment while Liz was mid-shot. Instead of shooting though, she passed it to Tsubaki, who in turn, hurried over to the three-point line and shot it. This had all happened so fast that the other team of players, were stuck in confusion when it had gone in without even touching the rim. Soul looked over to Black*Star and asked, "What the hell was that?! How did she made that shot?!" Black*Star shrugged, "Probably because she plays with me all the time" Liz took this chance to make the game a little more interesting, "You bet she does. Doesn't your weapon please you?" She said suggestively to Soul, with a small grin on her face. She went over in place again and said wantonly, "That's the perks of being a meister I guess…"Black*Star's face immediately turned a dark shade of red and said, "I would never let my weapon degrade herself and let her think she would have to please me like that!" Soul just stood there with his mouth agape, not being able to actually think about that situation. He glanced over at Maka, and watched as she shut her book and groaned in total frustration, "God DAMMIT!" She slammed her book down on the bench and said, "If you're going to flirt, can you do it some other place? …and take Blair with you!" She added the last part, remembering how much of a horn-puss the cat was. Liz looked to Soul, are you going to play or what? He was still stuck in his own little world but was brought back as soon as she said something. He nodded, "Yeah, but now we know your little secret play" Liz put up her hands to signal a time-out, "Time. Tsubaki, come here" She hurried over and when the boys were huddled up further away, she whispered, "Do you want to make your win all the more sweeter?" Tsubaki shrugged, not really caring about how she would win, she just wanted to hear what her meister had to say. Liz rolled her eyes and said, "This will guarantee our win, you just have to do exactly as I say. Alright?" She nodded, eagerly as her reply and her friend continued, "Take off your shirt and just wear your sports bra" Tsubaki could feel her face reddening already and Liz noticed, "It will distract Black*Star. That way, I won't have to make every shot. Don't you want to know what Black*Star is dying to tell you?" Tsubaki sighed to keep her mind at peace and nodded slowly, "Okay" While Liz was getting back into place, Tsubaki took off her tank-top and placed it next to Patty. She hurried over and went to block Black*Star, "Let's play" She didn't have any other meaning besides the game so when Soul passed it to her meister and she got it instead, her confusion level doubled. It didn't stop her from shooting the ball but it did make her worry. She went over to him when she made it in and bent down to look at his face, "Are you okay Star?" She was about to place her hand on his forehead but realized how dirt they were after throwing and catching the ball. Instead she put her lips to his forehead like she had done many times before when her hands were full. He immediately stepped away and said quickly, "I'm fine" Her feelings were hurt but she knew he wasn't a child when it came to pain. She nodded and smiled, "Then let's play" He looked up at the sky and cracked his neck, "Let's play" Liz passed it to Tsubaki and said, "You check this time" She nodded and watched as the boys switched as well. Liz decided to point it out, "Why are you two on us like a group of mosquitos?" Soul pointed to the other boy, "He said that he could handle Tsubaki so that means in stuck with you" She scoffed at the audacity he had to even say that he was 'stuck with her'. She was pure perfection…at least that's what she was told by her own meister. She shook her head and mentally kicked herself for even thinking about him. She focused on the game once more and watched as Black*Star took his time once the ball was checked. He was grinning so confidently that Liz decided he needed to be knocked down a notch. She hurried behind Tsubaki and smiled wickedly, "Surprise!" She lifted her friend's sports bra up squealed in delight as Black*Star looked away quickly and he dropped the ball while trying to cover his eyes. Tsubaki was busy covering up herself and pulling it back down to see anyone's reaction. She could feel the redness consuming not only her face but the rest of her body as well. Out of sheer embarrassment, tears began to form and she got out part of her sentence as they began to fall, "That was uncalled…" The tears fell but as she closed her eyes and fell to the ground, her meister covered her in a tight embrace. His voice was raised loud and angry, "That was uncalled for Liz! Just because you're moody does not mean you can ruin everyone else's mood!" His grip tightened, "She's not just embarrassed; she's hurt! That was low!" Tsubaki looked up at her meister and looked at how angry he was, "Don't yell at her Star, she was only trying to help me…" Black*Star shook his head, "You wanted to know what I was going to say that much?!" Liz smirked, "She wanted to know what was wrong so badly that she called me to comfort her when you hurt her feelings. She was so worried that she agreed to take off her shirt and play in a bra" His angry features melted to one of worry and he looked down to his weapon, "What's wrong?" She shook her head, "Nothing Black*Star. I'm fine" She wiped the rest of her tears away as she stood up from her place and pointed to the ball that was rolling towards them, "Six, that means we won right?" Liz nodded, "Yup. Tsubaki, you're still going shopping right? I'll buy us lunch" She wasn't in the mood to go, seeing as her breasts were just shown to her meister but she said, "I guess" Black*Star decided to put his foot down, "No, she's not going. You can apologize to her right now" Soul whistled, "If I told Maka that…" He could see Maka motioning him to go over with her finger and he walked over. She knew it wasn't something her or Soul should be in on so she led him away from the area. Liz shook her head at his idiotic words, "For helping her?! She needed my help or else she would still be in your apartment. crying and worrying herself to death!" Everyone was silent, save Patty who was humming to herself a little tune. Then they heard a loud rock song playing and Patty say, "Kid's calling!" She answered it, "Moshimoshi!" Being the only thing that was talking at the moment, everyone's eyes were on her but all they heard was a bright, "Yup!" then she shut the phone and started putting away her crayons and paper. Liz cleared her throat and said expectantly, "Well? Did he ask for us again?" Patty shook her head, "Just me this time" Liz let her smug grin fall as she said, "Then tell him I'm going to the mall…and that I hate him" She gathered up what little she brought and said, "I'm sorry Tsubaki. I guess I went too far…I'll give you a present from the mall. Okay?" Her last word broke but she hurried away before anyone could ask. Tsubaki's eyes softened at the sight of her friend in pain, even if she had just pulled up her bra a few minutes before. Tsubaki looked over to see if where Maka was but soon found out that she and Soul were nowhere to be found. She came to the realization that her and Black*Star were the only ones left on the court so she decided that it was the best time to ask him what he was going to say. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "Star, what's been bothering you lately? Not just today but every other morning" He looked over at her and laughed a little, "Your god made a promise and he intends to keep it…" His face turned a deep red once again and he looked to the ground, "When you were at the bathhouse last week…" Tsubaki could already tell what had happened and she took a step to hug him, "Congratulations Black*Star! You have finally mastered stealth!" He was stuck in shock and Tsubaki sighed, "I was so worried that you hated me or maybe that you didn't think I was a good enough partner or that maybe you grew up and didn't need me anymore or—" He interrupted before he had to hear anymore of her senseless babbling, "How can I forget the weapon that will be in the clouds right next to me? You are an excellent weapon. I've told you over and over that I would be a useless baka without you, haven't I?" He wrapped his arm around her waist and held her tighter, "You are my Goddess—my everything Tsubaki. You will be right next to me ruling beside me as an equal, just as I always believed you have been" Tsubaki could feel a knot in her throat and the familiar stinging in her nose from tears. He put his lips to her ear and whispered, "I even saw you this morning in the shower. I'm sorry but I couldn't help myself…I couldn't stop after the first time" He slid his hands to her hips and pressed her closer, "I love you Tsubaki. I love your devotion, I love your personality, and I love your body covered in water" Tsubaki pulled away, "Black*Star…is this what you've been thinking about that's had me so worried?" He nodded, "I love you so much and ever since I've succeeded in peaking at you, I've woken up with the most annoying hard-on every morning" Her eyes immediately went to his crotch but when she caught glimpse of the proof, she looked away. Her face was so hot she felt like she couldn't breathe but Black*Star went back to holding her against his own body, "I wasn't just doing one handed pull-ups this morning" Tsubaki was feeling overwhelmed with all of the touching and the words she thought she would never hear out of his mouth. Her chest felt like it was caving in and she couldn't take it anymore, "Your scaring me Black*Star" As soon as she said the words she, regretted it. He immediately let her go and the smile he had disappeared, "I'm sorry Tsu…I didn't mean to hurt you" His attitude towards the whole situation made Tsubaki rethink everything she knew about her meister. He was acting so adult, he was acting so mature, he was acting so—" She relaxed her face and let a smile creep up, "Acting…" She took ahold of his hands and nodded, "Are you acting adult for me?" She watched as his breathing elevated slightly and his eyes started to show panic. She let all of her worries evaporate into the sky and hugged him, "You don't have to act adult for me Black*Star, I already care about you" She could see his childish features rising up once more. She didn't know if it was the large grin, his laugh that she knew so well or the look in his eyes, but she knew she had her meister back. Her body felt at ease and her soul, even more so. Black*Star held her and asked, "Did you feel that?" She nodded, knowing that she didn't have to say anything. He sighed contently and continued, "Do you know what this is?" Tsubaki couldn't place the feeling but he shrugged at her silence, "I like it" Tsubaki finally pulled out of their embrace and asked, "Why did you want to be adult for me in the first place? Did I say something that made you want to change?" He shook his head, "I watched you bathe. You looked so mature and beautiful that I just wanted to be an adult for you" Tsubaki laughed a little, "You are my meister and we chose each other for our faults as well as our excellences. You may be like a child at times but you are more man than anyone I know" He shrugged, "Watching how you act makes me wonder if I really can surpass the Gods" Tsubaki held his hands, "You will Black*Star and I will be there next to you, cheering you on. Don't ever doubt yourself again" She gave him one last squeeze in her hug and asked, "Do you want curry for dinner tonight?" He nodded vigorously and she grinned, "Beat me in a basketball match and I'll cook it" He picked up the ball and threw a practice shot. When it when in he shrugged, "I could win that" Tsubaki nodded but gave him a little peck on his cheek, "Good luck Hoshi-Kun".
A/N- okay, I think of this as a starter and a filler chapter. It starts the TsuStar and fills in until I can write a lemon! Next chapter I will…I hope. I wrote most of this is written during the ungodly hours I stay up to so if something doesn't make sense, it was the insomnia I SWEAR! (And Hoshi means Star incase no one got that) TTFN! 3 P.S. I don't think Tsubaki and Black*Star live in an apartment but for the sake of my story don't ask.
