Author's Note: First off, thanks so much for the reviews. I was not expecting them at all. 13?! Seriously? Wow I'm floored. Thanks so much!

Also, I'm sorry for the last chapter. I know it must have been hard to read but for the life of me I haven't been able to figure out how to redo the way sets up paragraphs and all that. It's bothering the hell out of me. So if anyone knows how to fix this problem, it would help So much! :)

Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Soul Eater. If I did I wouldn't be writing these because it would already happen!

1. Head

Soul always used to tell Maka to 'put her head into the game' when something hard came up. He didn't exactly mean for her to take it literally however as he watched in shock as her forehead and the kishin's came into direct contact.

2. Hollow

Maka knew that a part of her would always feel empty. After all, there was only so much space that could fill the void her papa had created when he and Kami had separated. But if there was someone who could come close it would be her partner.

3. Honor

Soul thought he might never understand Maka's interest in Honor and Virtue. To him they were words used in everyday language and frankly words he didn't much care for. But when she used them to elaborate his redeeming features, he found a little more respect than before.

4. Hope

Maka used words like Hope, Faith, and Destiny like they were going out of style. And god but he loved her more for her conviction.

5. Light

Soul loved her best in the sunlight. Because her eyes sparkled and her hair shone, and it was then that he mused that she really might be an Angel.

6. Lost

Sometimes when the black blood edged too close for comfort he could feel the start of something he feared he might not get back. He feared the sickness of the blood in his veins, knowing one day it might consume him. But the one thing he feared most was the effects it might have on Maka. He feared for her soul; to him that was infinitely more important than his own.

7. Breathe

Every breath taken was another sign of life. And as Maka watched Soul's chest rise and fall as he lay there on the stark white sheets, she thanked the skies and ground and anything else she could that he was still alive.

8. New

This feeling wasn't new as much as unexpected. He had acknowledged a long time ago that he might be (just maybe, even a little) in love with her. What really surprised him was that in her eyes he could see it too.

9. Old

"Will you still love me, even when I'm old?" Maka asked one night, a far off look on her face as she questioned him, heart open and old scars revealed. Soul smiled and grabbed her face in his hands as he breathed out, "Yes and even longer."

10. Peace

Days where they could be together and just revel in everyday life (cleaning the apartment, playing sports with their friends, or sharing hot chocolate and apple pie) were the days they could truly call peace.

11. Poison

Maka mentioned once that sometimes a certain smile on Soul's face was like poison in apple cider. Sweet but obviously tainted with something not quite as innocent.

12. Pretty

Soul refused to call her pretty. Maka had asked him sullenly one day if he even found her attractive. He scooped her up into his arms and replied with a quiet, "No, but no other word compares to how beautiful you really are."

13. Friendship

Yes sometimes she hated his guts. He could be rude, sarcastic and over-all jerkish should he be so inclined or in a bad mood. But he was the kindest when she was sick, gentlest when cleaning her wounds, and said just the right things to make her monsters go away. So yes, she could hate him, but he was her best friend and she would never trade him for the world.

14. Regret

If she wasn't bleeding to death right now she would be laughing and hugging Soul so hard they'd both feel their heartbeats through each other's chests. At least she thinks she would anyway. It's hard to think when the pain in her chest is blocking all coherent brain functions and the air in her lungs feels like its burning holes through her skin. So yes, if Maka could laugh she would.

15. Roses

Soul wasn't the flower and candy giving kind of guy. Apparently it wasn't cool enough as he would put it. But when Maka was faced with a brilliant red rose (like the color of his eyes on a particularly good day) she had to smile and bite down the joke on the tip of her tongue. His cheeks could rival the rose for its color and that was enough for her.
