I feel like this chapter is kind of boring, but don't worry it's only the beginning of the story.
Enjoy ! ^^
When her alarm went of in the morning, Maka was surprised she didn't wake up earlier. Normally she would've woken up at least 10 minutes before her alarm went of. She yawned and stretched her arms, then noticed how tired she was. She knew it was because she comforted Crona last night, but she couldn't bring herself up to blaming him for it. He had a really hard time these days, and she felt the need to help him in every way she possibly could. Maka stood up and quickly put on her everyday skirt, white shirt and and long, blazer-like vest. Her hair she did in the usual cute pigtails, and then slowly walked out of her door, rubbing the dirt out of her eyes while forcing herself to be energetic and enthusiastic. She believed that would affect the people around her and would make them feel better as well. She walked over to Soul's room, to discover Crona still sleeping, and a small smile appeared around her lips. Maka decided that she would let him rest for a few more minutes, because he didn't need that much time to dress and a little extra sleep wouldn't hurt him. The smell and sound of popping bacon made her turn around, as she wonderingly walked over to the kitchen. Surprised, she stopped walking when she saw Soul behind the stove calmly shaking a pan filled with bacon in his left hand, and a pan with scrambled eggs in the other. It was obvious that he was still very tired, him not being used to waking up earlier than ,well, anybody, but he continued making himself, Maka and Crona breakfast. Maka felt very thankful, as this was probably the first time in his life that Soul made someone other than himself breakfast. Her mouth created a huge grin as she almost hopped in Soul's direction. "Making breakfast ?" Soul almost dropped the pans he was holding, when he unexpectedly heard Maka's voice. He turned around, but immediately changed his surprised look into a cold one, trying to maintain careless. "You better enjoy it because I'm never doing this again" he growled in his low voice. Maka ignored the growling, because she knew he only acted this way to be a 'cool guy'. "It's done" he said without much tone, and Maka immediately started dressing the table, afterwards running to Crona's room to wake him up. Soul turned of the heat, put the food on the plates and sat down at the table. He didn't wait for Maka and Crona to come, that would be way to uncool. Maka dragged Crona, who was still sleepy and had dark circles around his eyes, to the kitchen. They both sat down and they quietly ate their food.
"Come on, we have to leave for school" Maka said loudly, but she didn't scream. Ever since Crona came she stopped screaming, afraid he would get anxious. Soul came outside, followed by Crona, and they started walking to school. Normally they would take Soul's motorbike, but since there were three of them now, that wasn't an option. Soul kicked a small rock all the way to school, and when they arrived he kicked it somewhere in the bushes. They said goodbye to Crona, because his classes weren't the same as theirs, and to be honest, Soul enjoyed not having him around all the time. He didn't have as much patience as Maka, and sometimes would really get tired of Crona being afraid of everything and everyone, having his annoying nightmares everynight. Maka let go a small sigh, as they saw Crona disappear between the other students. Soul looked up to her, noticing the dark circles that had formed around her eyes as well. He didn't say anything about it, though. He hated it when people started thinking he cared about their problems. Maka was his meister, and probably his best friend, but he thinks that he should always act cool and careless.
When they arrived in class, Tsubaki, Liz and Patty were already there. They sat down next to each other, and Maka curiously asked Tsubaki where Black Star and Kid were. "Black Star said he wanted to enter as last, so everyone would notice his new, 'live-changing' entrance, as he calls it. I don't know about Kid." Maka nodded, and attempted to turn away when Tsubaki called her name. "How about Crona ? Is he still having the nightmares ?" Maka opened her mouth to answer, but Soul answered in her place with a big sigh, followed by an annoyed "Yeah, every damn night". Maka gave him a short death glare as she turned to Tsubaki; "Yes, but I think he'll get better. He told me his dreams are still terrible, but every time they get less scary. Maybe in a few weeks he will stop having them" Tsubaki let a sigh escape her mouth as well. "I sure hope so, poor Crona" "Yeah, me too" Their conversation came to an end and at that very moment, Black Star barged in, yelling his usual stuff about surpassing God, as he did some 'impressing' tricks, but was soon thrown to his seat by Dr. Stein. A few seconds later, Kid calmly walked in and sat down. After the lesson, that was almost exactly the same as every other dissection lesson, the small group of friends walked through the hallway towards their next lesson. At the end of the day, Maka left Soul with Black Star, and without saying a word, went to look for Crona. Soul could take care of himself, she thought, as she found Crona being his timid self and approached him. "H-hi Maka" he smiled. "Hi Crona, had a nice day ?" she asked, as she locked arms with him and they started walking home. "Uhm, yes. Good, and-and you ?" Maka smiled, she liked how he finally began to learn how to keep a talk going. "Me too. What do you want for dinner ?" Meanwhile, Soul and Black Star walked around the school for a few minutes. "So, how's Crona ?" Black Star asked, as he gave a quite hard punch on his shoulder. Soul growled, showing his sharp teeth. The more he thought about it, the more he realised how much he started hating Crona. "He keeps having these nightmares. Maka wakes up every night to comfort him, and it's clear that she's getting exhausted. On top of that, he wakes me up too when he starts yelling or crying" Black Star chuckled, which made me look at him. "Looks like someone's mad that he has to sleep on the sofa" he poked me in my stomach and I cringed for a second. "It's not funny, dude. He annoys the heck out of me" "Yeah, I know what you mean. But think about it, he's been having a hard time. Anyways, I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow ?" He didn't wait for a response and ran off. Soul sighed, again. Black Star was right, Soul was just being an immense jerk. Crona's mom tried to kill him and he's here crying about having to sleep on a sofa. So not cool.
