She took a novel out of the shelf and placed herself next to Soul on the sofa while she opened it and started reading. Soul sighed next to her. "One of those romance books again, isn't it ?" Maka turned to his voice, to notice he was a little too close, glaring at the hundreds of words that filled only two pages. Maka nodded. "Mh" She lost herself in the words once again, but when she was about to flip the page, Soul grabbed it and held it above his head. Maka looked at him with angry eyes. "Soul, give it back" He grinned, then shook his head. "Come on" she nagged, and stuck her arm out, desperately trying to grab it from him. He shook his head again. "Please ?" she asked, as she raised her eyebrow. She sighed and watched the tv for a few seconds, then quickly turned around and stuck out her arm as far as she could, leaning on her other arm, her hand almost touching the book. Soul sat up so he could hold the book higher, but was kind of shocked at how close they were. Maka realised it too, but for some reason she didn't feel like pulling back. They stared into each others eyes and Soul's mind ran crazy again. Should he kiss her ? No, it was Maka ! But, she didn't pull back ? Maybe she wanted it too.. He had thought about it a lot the past couple of days and had to admit he was extremely curious about how it would feel like. Once again, his thinking took too long and she was starting to back up a little. No, he couldn't let this chance slip away. Soul quickly leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers, earning a surprised gasp. He could've swore he felt his heart stop for a second, but when she kissed him back, even though she was hesitating, it started beating harder and faster than ever before. He dropped the book and softly grabbed her neck with his right hand, to pull her a bit closer. After a few seconds of just their lips touching, Soul pressed his tongue against her lips, asking for entrance. He wasn't sure about his Meister's reaction, but she carefully opened her lips and their tongues found each other. Suddenly something hit him. He was giving Maka her first kiss, no doubt about it. She never had a boyfriend and she wasn't the type to toy around with somebody, so he was quite sure that this, right here, was her first kiss. That in the back of his mind, he felt even better. He was the one to give her her first kiss, and now he was very well aware of it. His thumb assisted her jaw as his tongue gently stroke against hers. "Ma- Maka, I'll just get some water, can I ?" They rapidly broke the kiss and looked up in a shocked manner as they saw Crona appear in the doorway, staring at the couple. "Oh.. I guess I'll-I'll just go to bed again" Maka blushed like crazy while Crona returned to his room, Soul's hand still on her neck. She jumped up and ran to her room. Oh Death. Had she really just kissed Soul ? And it wasn't even a pathetic peck on the lips, no, it was a real kiss. She never imagined her first kiss to be anything but a small peck, but she had to admit, she liked this scenario way better. She fell on her bed and lightly touched her lips with the tips of her fingers. She couldn't help but giggle as she remembered how he took the lead, and how it felt when his lips touched hers for the very first time. Maka felt like a typical, giggling teenage girl but she couldn't care less. This was the best feeling ever.
Soul stared at her while she ran to her room, then laid down on the couch. He did it, he finally kissed her. He finally knew how it felt to have her lips on his. And she kissed him back. Everything was perfect, except for one thing. Soul didn't know what he actually felt for her. All this time he had just been blaming his hormones, and to be honest, he still was. The thought of liking her, maybe even loving her kind of scared him of. He just wanted to know how it felt like, an now he did, no special feelings involved, right ?
Maka woke up with a smile on her face. Surprisingly, Crona didn't have any nightmares that night, or at least he didn't wake her up. She yawned slightly, got up with more energy than ever, and dressed in her uniform. It might be a weekend, she still wore her uniform. She liked it. Maka did her hair in her trademark pigtails, then looked at the clock to see it was 10:23, later than she usually slept. After she washed her face, she took a look in Soul's room, where Crona was still in a deep sleep. He must be exhausted from Medusa possessing him two times already. She carefully closed the door again and then made her way into the kitchen, where she opened the fridge and grabbed some milk. "Morning" Maka jumped up when she heard Soul's voice behind her, and she turned around to face him. He yawned while he rubbed the dirt out of his eyes and sleepily walked past her, opening a cabinet and taking out a box of cornflakes. "Oh, morning" Maka responded as she took 3 bowls and spoons and set the table. They both sat down and started eating. Maka shuffled awkwardly on her chair while she shoved a spoonful of cornflakes in her mouth. Why weren't they talking ? This is so awkward. They had kissed, but now what ? Soul watched Maka who was clearly uncomfortable. But what could he do ? He didn't know either. What do you say after you've kissed your best friend ? His thoughts were interrupted by Crona, who slowly walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. "Good morning Maka, Soul" he said quietly, almost whispering. "Good morning Crona, I hope cornflakes is good for you ? I can make pancakes or eggs if you want" "No- no, I don't want to trouble you again. Cornflakes is fine." Soul simply greeted him with a nod. When they were almost done eating, Maka started the talk again. "Do you want to do something today, Crona ? Maybe something to get your mind off of things" Crona smiled. "I'll just.. Go out for a walk myself. I kind of want to be alone for a moment" Maka nodded and smiled weakly while Soul placed himself in the sofa. "Okay. Be careful" Crona grabbed his jacket and walked out of the door, which left Maka alone with Soul. She washed the dishes quickly and then sat down on the smaller bench, looking at the tv. She wasn't following the show that was on, though, her mind was thinking about every possible thing she could say to him, but nothing seemed good enough. After a few minutes she realised the show was extremely boring and she leaned back, sighing. "Do you want to watch something else ?" Soul's words quickly got her to sit up again and look at him. "Uh, no. Could you just give me my book please ?" She nodded to the book that she had started reading yesterday, before Soul took it and.. Yeah you know what happened. "Sure" He grabbed the book that laid next to him on the sofa and threw it in her direction. Maka caught it before it could hit the couch that she sat on, and quietly started reading. God this is so awkward.
