Chapter 4- Hello Tomorrow
A/N- Hello Earthlings. Have any of you noticed that I name my chapters after songs? Yeah, well this chapter name doesn't exactly fit. Well...maybe. Listen to it and tell me. Hello Tomorrow by Zebrahead. ANYWAY, this chapter is mostly from Maka's POV. EnJoY! XD
(POV- Soul)
Mornings. Gotta hate 'em. I mean, it has the word MORN in it. Anyway, I woke to the smell of the best thing in the world: eggs, waffles, butter, and a ton of syrup. I dragged myself out of bed to find Maka in the kitchen with a pink and white check apron on. She was humming a light tune, cheerfully frying eggs. She was all dressed up, hair in ponytails and all. Maybe mornings weren't that bad.
"Oh," she turned and found me staring at her. Oops, "Good morning, Soul!"
Strange, I thought. "G'morning…"
"I hope you don't mind that I made waffles and eggs."
I raised an eyebrow. She knew that was my favorite breakfast meal.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Okay? Yeah. I'm fine. Great, really!" She rambled.
What was up with my partner today?
(POV- Maka)
God, I must sound like such an idiot to him, I thought as a babbled about how 'wonderful' I was feeling this morning. Don't get me wrong. I love mornings. The sky looked so beautiful with the sun breaking through the clouds. Plus, after a good nights sleep, you feel so fresh.
"Sorry," I mumbled. Why did I always embarrass myself in front of him? Why couldn't I just be normal? I glanced at him for a moment. Even through his baggy shirt, I could see his broad shoulders and well developed biceps. He was leaning against the fridge, looking casually…hot. There! I said it! Soul Eater Evans is hot.
Memories flashed back to a few nights ago…
"Soul..." I moved closer, my voice so low, he probably couldn't hear me, "I love you..."
"Maka," my thoughts broke, "Are you sure you're okay? If you're still tired, you could go back to sleep…"
I successfully hid a blush, "No, no. It's okay. I'm fine, trust me."
Serving him breakfast, I wondered if he remembered anything from four nights ago. I hope not. Maka Albarn, an average book worm in love with Soul, the coolest guy in Shibusen? Not cool, Soul would probably say. I'm sure if he ever found out, he'd just laugh his head off. Then, he'd tell Black Star, and well…The whole world would know and I'd just be a big joke.
I looked at him again. His crimson eyes intensely focused on the food. Lots of people found his eyes eerie. But, I found them amazing. They were so easy to get lost in. And his hair; it looked so soft. I sighed inwardly. At least I could admire him from a distance.
"Oy, Maka," I tried not to giggle at Soul, whose mouth was stuffed with food, "This is really good. Why aren't you eating though?"
I blushed slightly at his first comment. He was just so sweet sometimes, "I already ate," I added a smile, just to make sure he didn't think I was blunt or anything.
"Oh, okay."
We sat in silence. Well, as silent as it could get with Soul's noisy eating.
"Hey, what's today?" he asked.
CRAP! I thought desperately, I didn't forget his birthday, did I? No..That's in December. Wait. What month was it? Ugh, I'm loosing my mind. I hope your happy, Soul.
"Saturday?" I asked more than answered.
He flashed his signature grin, making my heart flutter a little, "Cool. No school today."
I tried my best, I really did, not to scowl.
"What?"
"Nothing, never mind," I replyed, "Just eat."
And with that, I got up and went to my room.
Stupid Soul. He makes me do stupid things. Stupid love.
A/N- Hm..I think I write better in Maka's POV...Maybe cuz I'm a girl...And I kinda relate to how she feels...And cuz I love Soul to bits XD
