!Warning: slight hunger games fangirling might appear
That evening, when they finished dinner, Maka cleared the table and put the dishes aside. For the first time in about 2 weeks, she had some time that she could spend with Soul and she didn't want to waste it by doing dishes. "What should we do?" Soul shrugged, again. "Come on! We should do something, we finally have some time" Maka was feeling super happy, all of the sudden, and she wanted to do something with all the extra energy she had. "I don't really care. We could watch a movie" Maka blew the hair out of her face. "You're so boring ! We can watch movies all the time, let's go out ? eh ?" "What are we supposed to do outside ? There's nothing. And I refuse to go dancing" Maka sighed deeply. "Fine, a movie it is. But next time I choose" Soul showed a small grin and took a bunch of DVD's out of a box. "You choose which one" While Maka was reading the summary of a DVD, she got an idea. "We can go to the cinema ! That way we watch a movie and go out!" Excited because of her brilliant idea, she threw the DVD's on the couch and put on her jacket. "Come on !" She said as she put Soul's jacket in his hands and pushed him out of the door. "Let's go!"
When they arrived at the movies, they noticed that there weren't that many people. Soul felt relieved, he hated it when they had to sit next to strangers. "Which movie ?" he asked while they were standing in a short line. "The hunger games!" Soul had heard of it, probably because Maka read all the books, but didn't really know what it was. "Okay" was his simple answer. "Two tickets for the hunger games" Maka gave him an angry look. "Please" he mumbled, as he received the tickets and paid for them. They got some popcorn and drinks and took their seats. The cinema was nearly empty, except for 2 giggling girls somewhere in the back, a middle aged woman a few rows in front of them and a young couple in a corner. The girls stopped giggling when the lights went of and the movie started.
The movie was about halfway through, maybe a little further, and Soul had to admit he liked it. Maka was so into the movie that she didn't even take any popcorn, and Maka adores popcorn. Every time this Peeta guy said something, she would gasp or freeze completely. It annoyed Soul so badly, that kid wasn't even good looking. His head is a square. They got to the cave scenes and Maka got even more excited, of course, she knew what would happen. A few minutes later it became clear why she got so excited. They kissed. Soul felt very awkward and thought about his thoughts earlier that day. He still couldn't believe why in Death's name he would think about kissing her. He never, in all the years that they had been Meister and Weapon, thought such things about her. Even though he was sure it was because of his hormones, he felt extremely confused. Maka moved a bit closer to him, and he didn't know if he should like it or hate it. "I love this scene, it's so romantic!" she whispered and she sat back down. Soul rarely saw this side of her. He knew she was a romantic, but that only showed when she was reading, she was quiet violent and never once had a boyfriend in real life. Speaking of that, Soul had had one girlfriend before. A few years ago, and she gave him his first kiss. Although he was only 14 and actually only had a girlfriend because it was 'cool', he had to admit he liked it and it felt awesome to tell everyone about it. 'Now I certainly don't want to let you go' They heard the kid on the screen say and Maka squealed. "He's so cute". Soul let an annoyed sigh escape his mouth and took a look around the cinema. The girls were still giggling, the woman was casually eating popcorn and the couple was whispering things in each others ears.
When the movie ended, Maka's eyes began to water but she quickly blinked them so that the tears would go away. Soul didn't understand. Maybe it was because he is a guy and he this kind of stuff doesn't really get to him. They got up, threw their left over popcorn and bottles away, and walked out of the cinema. While their eyes adjusted to the light of the sun that was slowly going down, Maka started to talk. "I can't wait until the next movie! It was great!" "It was fine" Soul growled, and he started to walk slightly faster. "What do you mean it was 'fine' ? It's better than any movie that we have at home" "Maybe that's because you like this kind of stuff and I, the only one who buys DVD's, don't like it" Maka went silent and followed him home. She wanted to respond, but was afraid that maybe it would start a fight, and she would do anything to not ruin this evening. Crona would probably come back tomorrow and she knew that the tension between her and Soul would return.
When they got back in their apartment, Soul plopped down on the sofa and closed his eyes for a second. It was getting darker, Maka guessed it was around 8:30 pm, but she wanted to fully use every hour they had. "What should we do next ?" she asked, and sat down cross-legged next to him. Soul sighed. "We just went to to movies and you still want to do something ?" Maka nodded; "Well, yeah. Why not ? We still have some time.." She stared at him for a few seconds. "Unless you don't want to, of course.." Soul grinned then opened his eyes to look at her. "Good, what do you want to do?" He asked, and sat himself cross-legged as well. Maka smiled happily. "A game ? We could play a game. Do we have something ?" Maka disappeared and quickly returned to the sofa with a bunch of games stapled up in her arms. She threw them on the space on the sofa between her and Soul and took a look at them. "They look kind of lame" Soul mumbled as he already gave up on choosing one. Maka gave him an angry look then continued to stare at the games. "We could play this" she said and she held up Monopoly. Soul dryly looked at her. "Are you being serious ?" "Okay. Not this" She threw it on the floor and wanted to take another game, but was interrupted by Soul's voice. "Give up already. I'm not gonna play these stupid games" "But there's nothing else to do.." she complained. Soul cursed himself for the thought that crossed his mind for a nanosecond. He seriously had to stop this, he was kind of scaring himself. "I want to play some videogames. You can watch" Soul harshly said and took a controller from underneath the tv. He was confused and convinced himself that doing stuff with her would not do him any good. Maka didn't know what suddenly got to him, but she hated him being this rude and angrily watched while he played some kind of game on the xbox for a few minutes, before she stormed to her room and slammed the door behind her.
