Disclaimer: Yea don't you know I don't own Soul Eater by now?
This is normal ages again so enjoy remember I love reviews.
Soul POV I walked on the sidewalk in my new very cool jacket in the direction of Maka's house. I arrived to the door and looked up to garb the doorknob, but to my suprise the door was left swinging open. What the hell? I thought as I stepped into the house, I looked into the kitchen first, then the living room. Nothing. I turned and started to walk toward the closed door of her room and pressed my ear against it. My eye brows furrowed in confusion as I heard quiet sobs and paper crumple. I didn't bother knocking but instead just opened the door. There was Maka leaning against her bed tears flowing in a steady stream down her face.
"Maka. . . What's wrong?" I inquired, concerned for her. She did not utter even say a single word but instead handed me a crumpled piece of paper that lay next to her. I straightened it as best I could and read it silently:
Dear friends and family of Kami Albarn,
We, the Death Weapon Meister Academy, would like to sadly inform you of (Weapon/Meister) Kami Albarn disapearence. She was tracking the witch Arachne with Stein,Marie, and Mikuru when the team went missing. We will keep you updated if any leads show up.
Sincerely,
The D.W.M.A
How could this happen? I thought rereading the note. This was definitely not cool! I sat down next to Maka leaning my back against her bed, crap.
"Get it now?" Maka snapped now only a few stray tears ran down her face, but her viridian eyes looked so depressed.
"It'll all be okay, Maka." I stated comfortingly.
"What do you mean, 'okay'? She could be dead!" She screamed in my face.
"Calm down, jeez. Look she is just missing, she'll be back before 'ya know it." I said smirking. The truth was I really wanted to cry and hold her close to me, but I couldn't do that now. Right now I just had to make her feel better and not be selfish. "Come on, I have a surprise for 'ya." I said getting up and offering her a hand, she held it forcing a small delicate smile.
"Okay" The frail blonde said getting up and following me out of the house.
"Where are we going?" She asked after a while.
"You're not a very good listener, I said it was a surprise, and a surprise it shall be." I turned down an old alley and Maka followed hesitantly, jumping out of her skin as a cat popped out of a rusty trash can. "Calm down. chillax a bit." I said walking out of the small alleyway and across the street.
"Hey, wait up!" She said sprinting out of the alleyway and across the street. I waited for her then walked into the small music store. "This is the surprise?" Maka whispered barely audible.
"Hey Al' what's up?" I said to the friendly looking man behind the counter. He wasn't that old but still had salt and pepper hair, that was always kept very neatly.
"I'm good. 'Ey who is the lovely lady you got there?" He asked looking at Maka, "Don't tell me my little Soul has a girlfriend and didn't tell me."
"She isn't my girlfriend, but if you wouldn't mind can I use the piano in the back?" I asked.
"Sure, by all means." Al said gesturing toward the back of the store.
"Thanks, owe 'ya one." I said running to the back of the store and swinging open the perfectly white door. In the corner of what proably used to be a office room lay a beautiful grand piano.
"Soul you play?" Maka asked excitedly. I nodded and walked over to the bench.
"Big Al' taught me how to play when I was young. Apparently I have a really knack for it, considering that I started to compose at only four." He stated shrugging.
"So that's why he called you his 'little Soul'," Maka said sitting next to me on the rather small bench.
"Yea, he calls me that to make fun of me sometimes."
"So are 'ya gonna play?" Maka asked tilting her head to the side a bit. I said nothing but started to play the beautiful notes that graced the page infront of me; I had composed this song for Maka and it was my best one yet, I think. I looked over to see her reaction, I watched her as she read the lyrics and started to sing:
When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
But darling, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
But you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof, it's not a dream, oh
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
The song ended and the last note started to fade, I took my hands off the the polished ivory keys and laid them on my lap. Thats when I felt her arms wrap around me, has she lost it, or something?
"Thanks Soul," she said getting up off the bench. I turned to watch her leave, but she didn't, instead she froze as if caught by some thought and walked back to me. I must have looked stupid and confused because she giggled and bent down to kiss me on the cheek."You're right everything will be okay."
