I do not own Soul Eater or any other character (hahahah get the punn?)
What is this guy thinking? Maka panicked.
He inched closer, until he was standing right next to her. His smile had disappeared, and he was looking down on her with an uninterested expression, his mouth frowning a little. Maka looked up at him with disturbed eyes, filled with frustration and fear.
"W-What are you going to do?" She asked.
Without answering he looked up at the handle where her dress was stuck. He moved his hands towards the entanglement. She watched him quietly as the boy attempted to do what she could not. He untangled the dress, easily might I add, and let it fall down, finally covering her underwear. She slid her head under the gap, her whole body finally in the room.
"T-Thanks…I guess." She forced herself to say.
He shoved his hands back down into his pockets, a habit he'd grown quite used to, and turned around to walk back over to the couch.
"I don't get why you snuck in, the main entrance is inside the lobby." He grabbed his wine and sat back down, crossing his legs the guy way and placing his free hand over the back of the couch. He smirked. "Unless, you're not supposed to be here."
"H-Huh?" Maka laughed uneasily. "W-What are you talking about of course I'm supposed to be here! I-I was invited but-"
"Whatever, it has nothing to do with me, so I don't care why you're here, invited or not." He stated, taking a sip of his wine.
"Hey, are you old enough to drink that?" She nagged.
"No." He smirked, then took another sip.
What's with this guy? He looks like he could be on the VIP list, yet he's not doing anything to stop me.
"What are you still doing here." He pressed.
"I don't understand." Maka told him.
He took another sip. "I know you didn't sneak in here for no reason, so go do whatever it is you're going to do, there's no point in hanging around here." He tried to take another sip, but it was empty. "Damn, ran out."
Maka sighed. It's true I should be meeting with Liz and the others, but I'm supposed to wait here for them. But I can't tell him that. She looked down, trying to thinking of an excuse, when one faithfully appeared before her. She noticed that she was still carrying her shoes, and that the strap on the shoe that had gotten caught was ripping. Feeling a slight sense of panic, she sat down and placed the shoe in her lap, trying to tend to it before it completely split in half.
"Shit, if this breaks I can't wear it….!" She whispered to herself, desperately trying to hold the 2 pieces together. Then I can't go along with the plan. She sighed and I was looking forward to it too.
"Huh?" The boy looked over. "You're still here?"
"Shut up." She commanded, looking around for tape or something like that.
"What's wrong?" He asked blandly.
She ignored him. She finally fixed her shoe, tying 2 small strands of thread to keep the strap together, but after the she noticed the bottom of her dress was ripped.
"WHAT?" She began getting depressed. "You've got to be kidding me…" She was almost to tears.
"Sheesh you make a lot of noise." The boy just sat there and watched her struggle.
"My…dress…" She sighed. I can't go out there with my dress like this, they'll know I snuck in or think I don't belong.
He began to get annoyed and decided to walk over. He got off the couch, dragged his feet over to Maka, who was sitting on the ground in defeat, and kneeled down, resting his elbows on his knees. He looked at the ripped cloth that was in her hands, Maka didn't even look up to see that he was hovering over.
"You're worried about that ?" He asked, dumbfounded.
"Of course I am!" She yelled, finally looking up at him with determined eyes. "I can't go out there like this!" Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki are going to be so disappointed. Speaking of them, where are-
"Maka?"
The door flew open quietly, as to not make a scene. The blonde and the boy beside her looked over to the door to see 3 figures, moving their heads left and right, looking for her, then finally looked down to find her sitting on the floor, the white-haired boy hovering over her.
"We found you!" Tsubaki exclaimed.
"Oh? Who's that?" Liz asked.
She ignored the question, since she herself didn't know the answer. "Liz, Patty, Tsubaki!" She stood up and walked over to them.
"Sorry it took us a while, some blue-haired creep was trying to follow us." Liz confessed.
Blue-haired creep… they boy thought. He sighed. What an idiot.
"It's okay." Maka smiled. "Actually, I should be the one apologizing. My dress got ripped and my shoes about to break, even though I fixed it, so I don't know if I can go out there."
All 3 of them looked down as Maka showed them the recent flaws of her outfit.
"I see." Liz replied.
"Are you sure you don't want to go? It's actually a lot of fun I'm glad we came!" Tsubaki encouraged.
"She can't go out there looking like that, the people out there'll realize something's up." The boy stated, standing up.
Liz, Patty, Tsubaki, and Maka looked at him, surprised at what he just said. Then Liz leaned in to whisper.
"Maka, does he know we snuck in?"
"Yeah k-kind of." She replied uneasily.
"Aw, we were caught~" Patty sang.
"Sorry, he saw me coming through the window." Maka apologized. Now they were all whispering to each other.
"What should we do?" Tsubaki asked.
"Hmmm." Liz thought. "I guess we should escape now that someone knows."
Maka chuckled. "You guys don't have to do that, for some reason he doesn't want to turn us in. Well, me at least." She admitted.
"For reals~?" Patty sang.
"I'm glad we can stay!" Tsubaki exclaimed.
"But Maka." Liz told her.
"It's alright, there'll be other parties for me to crash. Just make sure you stinkbomb in the right place." Maka winked. Tsubaki smiled, happy to finally see Maka hadn't lost her rebellious attitude just yet.
"Yeah, got it." Liz said, winking back. All four of them turned to look at the boy, who was watching them the whole time. "Hey kid, watch over her for us while we're gone kay~~" She told him.
"Huh?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Well then bye bye Maka!" Tsubaki said.
"Bye!" Maka yelled back.
"Try not to have too much fun~!" Patty winked.
"P-Patty…" A sweatdrop appeared on her head. Maka turned around, walked past the boy, and took a seat on the couch.
"Geez, I have to babysit you now? How uncool." He complained.
"How about you just leave, I don't need someone to watch over me I can take care of myself." She shot back.
"Yeah, the way you untangled your dress really proved that." He teased.
"L-Leave me alone!" She turned her head away from him.
He walked over and took the seat next to her, sitting as far to the edge as possible. "Did I hear you say stinkbomb earlier?"
She felt her rebellious side shoot through the roof. Just the mention of how they were crashing the party nearly gave her an adrenaline rush. "Why? Interested?" A mischievous smile appeared on her face.
He smirked. "What if I am?"
Her smile turned into a smirk as well. "Ha not likely."
He burst into laughter. "You know, you're not half bad."
She began to laugh too. "Really huh?"
Just as they were laughing, screams were heard on the other side of the door. Immediately, they stopped, looking at the door to try and figure out what was going on. Right before they were about to stand up, the door burst open, breaking off of its hinges, as a black haired boy with 3 stripes on his hair ran into the room, tripping, then falling on his face, soon followed by that blue-haired boy.
"Black Star!" The white-haired boy shouted in surprise. He stood up and walked over to the 2 boys, leaving Maka to sit on the couch.
"Hey Soul! Look who I found!" He moved his head up to look at the so called boy Soul's face, smiling from ear to ear. "Look!" He poked the black-haired boy who was laying under him on his head.
"Ow. Ow. Ow. Stop…Black Star." The boy's golden eyes were twitching, as he spoke through clenched teeth.
"Haha why Kid? It's so fun!" His pokes became more aggressive.
Suddenly, the boy so-called Kid slipped out from under the so-called Black Star and kicked him.
"DISGUSTED DASH!"
"Ouch! What was that for?"
His eyes were still twitching. "If you're going to poke my head, poke the other side too in a symmetrical way you fool!"
Symmetrical…? Maka's mouth was wide open, a sweat drop appeared on her head. What's with these guys…?
Suddenly, that overpowering smell entered the room.
"Shit! The stench has found us!" Kid screamed.
"Don't worry! The great Black Star will protect-" He stopped in the middle of his sentence, as the stench suffocated his head and he too fainted.
Maka laughed, and the 2 boys who were conscious looked over at her, surprised at her reaction to the situation.
The white-haired boy smirk. "Let me guess." He never meant to finish that question.
She looked into his red eyes and winked. He chuckled.
"Maka! Let's scram!"
Three more figures appeared at the door, rushing in with their fingers squeezing their noses to keep the smell away.
"What's going on in here?" Liz asked. Tsubaki's eyes traveled down, looking at one of the boys, namely, the unconscious one.
"EH? IT'S THAT CREEPER FOLLOWER!" She yelled, pointing at Black Star.
Geez, I knew it. Soul sighed.
"A-Are we leaving now?" Maka asked, completely confused by the sudden mash of multiple events occurring at once.
"Yeah, almost forgot, let's get going!" Liz said, walking over Kid and Black Star towards the window, followed by Patty and Tsubaki. Liz opened the window wider, giving them a bigger gap to sneak in through. "Let's go Maka we can't get caught!" Liz's body was already halfway out of the window.
"O-Okay." Maka grabbed her shoes and ran over to the window. Once Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki got through, she was the last one to escape through the window.
She let both her legs slip through the gap, so now she was sitting on the windowsill, lower body outside and upper body inside. Maka took one look back at Soul, who was watching her leave, their eyes met. He stared into her green eyes, and she stared into his red eyes. Neither one was smiling, they both had a blank expression on their face, trying to look deep within each other.
"Come on Maka!" Tsubaki tugged her leg and pulled the rest of Maka's body through the window.
They never stopped staring at each other until Maka was completely out of sight.
"Huh? What just happened?"
Soul moved his eyes from the window, which he was still staring at, to the floor, Black Star finally waking up.
"Did I miss something?"
Soul smirked.
……………….
The 4 girls took a cab back to their apartment building. Before heading into their separate apartments that were right next door to each other, they said their good nights and last comments about how fun the night was, even Maka had fun.
Back in their apartment, Maka and Tsubaki had already showered, and were sitting on the couch together, watching TV. That's when Tsubaki decided to ask.
"Say Maka, you saw that blue-haired boy right?"
Maka looked over at Tsubaki, surprised at her question. "Yeah I did."
Tsubaki smiled. "He was kind of cute don't you think?"
Is she serious? No, she's got to be kidding, liking him? Maka thought. "Well, I just know his name is Black Star." She said, trying to avoid the question.
Tsubaki smiled wider. "I'd like to see him again."
"T-Tsubaki…" Maka said uneasily. "I don't know if that's possible."
She changed the subject to Maka. "What about you? How did things go with that boy?"
Maka looked back at the TV, pondering over the question. "Well it wasn't bad if that's what you mean."
"I'm glad." She was way too sincere.
"W-Well, I'm going to sleep. Night Tsubaki." Maka didn't want to go any further with the conversation about the boy named Soul she had just met that night.
"Night." She replied.
……THE NEXT DAY……
"Thanks for letting me sleepover guys. Your mansion was…more symmetrical than I would have thought."
"I hope that's a compliment."
It was the next morning, the day after the gala last night. The story of the stinkbombs was put into the newspaper, and still no one knew who the culprits were, but they were putting up rewards for anyone who could catch them. In his mind, Soul felt slightly badass he knew who caused the stinkbombs but wouldn't turn them in. That would be uncool. Just knowing a secret like that made him feel special enough.
"I left my filthy tuxedo here, if that's okay." Kid said.
"Sure, I don't mind." Soul replied.
"Yeah yeah yeah enough talking let's get some grub!" Black Star shouted, rubbing his stomach.
Now they were all changed out of their tuxedos. Kid was in his black suit, being the president's son he needed a good image. Black Star was in a loose tank top and pants. Soul was wearing pants, a t-shirt, and a black jacket over it. For two rich guys, they definitely didn't dress like it.
"By the way, where are we going to eat?" Kid asked as all 3 of them headed out of the door.
Soul shrugged. "I saw this café down the street from the hotel so I guess we could check that out."
"Hmmm a café, sounds good." Kid said, completely in agreement.
"Who cares where we go! Let's just go already!" Black Star ran outside ahead of them. Once they were all outside, he turned and declared war. "How about we race to the café!"
"No way." Kid said. "I'd be setting a very bad example if I were to participate in that."
"Lighten up Kid, don't be a party pooper." Black Star said.
"No."
"Hmmmm." Black Star was thinking. "A ha!" He had an idea. "Look Kid!" He walked over to a statue in the front yard of Soul's mansion, which was completely symmetrical, until he broke one of the arms off, making it asymmetrical.
"AHHHH!" Kid freaked.
"Oh my, what are you gonna do now!" Black Star teased, waving the statue arm in front of Kid.
"BLACK STAR! FIX IT! HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITH SUCH AN ASYMMETRICAL STATUE!"
"As if!" Black Star shouted, then ran away from them. "Catch me first Kid!"
Kid grabbed a skateboard, and began chasing after him. "GET BACK HERE! AS SOON AS I CATCH YOU I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU FIX THAT HORRIFIC SIGHT!"
Soul sighed. "Not one of your best plans." Then he smirked. "But you did get Kid to join the race, in a way." He walked over to his motorcycle. "Guess it's my turn." He turned the handle, revving the engine, then sped off after the other 2, going towards the café.
…….
"Maka! Table 3 is ready!"
"Coming!"
Maka walked over to the kitchen, greeting Tsubaki as she gave Maka the freshly cooked food. Tsubaki was wearing an apron, and Maka was wearing a waitress' small apron that wrapped around the waist. She had her hair up in pigtails. She picked up the plates and walked out of the kitchen to the dining part of the café.
"Here you go, enjoy your food." She said happily with a smile as she placed the food on the table.
"Thank you." The customers said.
Maka walked back into the kitchen to get coffee for a second table she was waiting. Looks like today's going to be another smooth day at the café.
…….
"Yo Soul! Finally caught up you slow-poke!" Black Star greeted him loudly.
Kid was hunched over, hands rested on his knees, catching his breath. "I never managed to catch him in time." He started making fun of himself. "I couldn't even do that, I don't deserve to be a president's son, I'm nothing but useless garbage, how vile of me!"
"So this is the café?" Soul looked at the sign.
"Yeah! So let's go!" Black Star burst into the doors.
"Sheesh, be a little more subtle will ya?" Soul commented, walking into the café.
……..
Maka looked towards the entrance happily. Ah! More customers!
"Welcome!" She greeted them.
So in this i'm making it possible for it to be kind of like royalty, where Kid will be the president's successor instead of another voting or vice president (:
Please keep reviewing!
