:SE:

Soul watched as the minute hand on the clock seemed to drag itself around the surface, ' A watched pot never boils' he thought dryly. Did he really want the pot to boil? For Maka to walk out of this house on another mans arm? No, absolutely not!

"Then why are just sitting around? Do something!"

Soul sighed, stuffing one his large pillows over his head as if it could block out the voice. Did the bastard ever shut up?

"You want me to shut up Soul Eater? Then go out there and make her sense, she is OURS!"

Soul shook his head in silent denial , tunning his ears to the running water from Maka's shower. The demon pounced claws extended as images of him and Maka in the shower together spun rapidly through his tired mind.

"Go to her, she needs us, only us."

Soul gives a small cry of alarm as his body moves on its on accord, getting off the bed and heading towards the small bathroom.

"No! Not now!"

"Then when?"

A small ounce of relief flows through him as his body stops at the bathroom door, and with a exhausted sigh he leans against it. They had never gotten a lock installed for it, he should really put it on his to do list.

"If we don't do something we could lose her, is that what you want want?!"

"No."

He responds brokenly, the thought was to much to bear. She couldn't possibly go off with someone else, he knew her she just wasn't like that. He knew she had hormones, but she would wait, she would, at least till after the kishin was taken care of.

" Are you stupid?! Why is she going on this date if shes supposedly waiting for you?"

Soul stills, the bastard had a point. He tried to recall the last time him and Maka had a outing, just for the fun of it, but came up blank. Maybe thats why she was going on this date, because she just wanted to have a little fun? Or was she lonely? He growled in frustration as his brain came up with so many possibilities, finally he just decided to find out the easy way. Closing his eyes he places his palms flat against the door his forehead also drooping forward, as he hones his senses, feeling ,searching...

A small tingling sensation alerts him to the presence of Maka's soul wavelength, and he does a tentative probe trying to gouge her current emotions. He is surprised at what he finds, he would have expected happiness but instead finds frustration and doubt.

"Don't get ahead of yourself, for all you know she could be frustrated that shes out of conditioner or something!"

Blew that one right out of the water. He totally forgot the downside of soul probing. Even if you can feel your partners emotions, you can't always tell at who or what they are directed towards. So focused on his inner struggles, Soul failed to notice the tell tale signal of the water turning off and the door nob giving a squeak of protest as it is turned. He does notice however, the door swinging inward and he gives a small yelp trying to correct his balance so he does not fall face first into his partner.

"Not that that would be a bad thing ne, Soul Eater?"

'Shut up would you?'

"Soul?"

Said person stiffens and gazes upon the innocent form of his partner, in a towel. He hears the demon growl in longing and feels his hands begin to shake. Not good.

"Did you need something?"

"No."

His answer is rushed and Maka 's eyebrows shoot up in surprise. Before he can make any more a fool out of himself he turns quickly on his heel and starts to head back to his room, but is stopped abruptly by a hand on his arm.

"Soul, are you sure your all r-?"

"It's nothing."

He cuts her off, yanking his arm out of her grasp and quickly heads towards his room. He tries to ignore the feeling of her hurt expression as he closes his door silently.

Ding Dong

Soul wearily opens his eyes at the dreaded sound of the door bell, and he gaze shifts to the clock next to his bed.

7:00 pm., Right on time.

"Oh goody, how wonderful."

The demon snarls , sarcasm heavily laced through his words. Soul grunts and rolls over to try to get back to sleep. However Maka's voice keeps him from doing so.

"Soul could you get it? Tell him I will be there in a minute!"

He sits up in pure amazement. She wanted him to greet her date?! Didn't she know it was hard enough for him to even let her go on this date? To see her have a good time with someone else?!

"Of course she doesn't, because your to much of a fucking coward to tell her your feelings!"

He ignores the degrading yet bluntly honest voice, and drags himself out of bed to answer the door. He weaves his way across the furniture, as he comes to stand before the front door, his hand pausing on the door knob. With a final sigh he turns it and pulls it open. He is greeted by a black haired teen, with eyes that reminded Soul of the chillest day in December. However, that was not what was bothering him. Something was wrong with this brat's soul wavelength. It wasn't prominent, like a busting at the seams, in your face kind of thing, so it was hard to categorize it. It was more like a dangerous undercurrent, hidden, but you could feel it lurking just beneath the surface. Soul did not like it, and what was bothering him more is that he couldn't identify what it was.

"Kill him."

"Quade!"

Both boys turn towards the sound and Soul feels jealousy slam into him once again. Angelic was the first word that came to his mind as she strode towards them. Her hair was pinned up in scarlet butterfly clips that complimented the flowing scarlet red dress that she wore. Why was she dressing like that for another man?

"Because your to much of a fucking coward! Hurry do something! Do not let her leave!"

Again he ignores the bastard and moves towards Maka, intercepting her before she can greet her punk of a date. He engulfs her in a hug and feels her stiffen in surprise, he doesn't blame her. He wasn't the type to imitate these kind of things, but tonight is a exception because Soul can say he is honestly worried for her safety. He leans forward slouching slightly to rest his head on her shoulder instead of her head.

"Do you trust him?"

His lips slightly graze her neck and he is rewarded by his partner shivering. He hears the demon growl in approval, trying to make him turn around and let the asshole at the door see.

"Yes."

He heaves a sigh of disappointment and his arms loosen their grip around her waist to travel up her arms to her shoulders. She shivers again but, Soul is to worried with her decision to enjoy the effect he had on her. He stares at her waiting to see if she will change her mind, but all he gets is a warm reassuring smile.

"Be careful."

He kisses her on the cheek softly, ignoring her startled gasp and swiftly heads towards his room. He slams his door and collapses against it , hearing the faint snap of the front door. He hears the demon shriek in anger.

"What have you done?!"

What had he done indeed.
