Soul and Maka sighed as they laid down. He snuggled up close to her, breathing in her scent and feeling her warmness. "How could I ever do something so terrible to such a sweetie like you," he whispered into her neck. Maka giggled quietly. "I don't know..." They let the silence engulf them into nothingness besides each other, allowing sleep to soon take over. And as they woke up, there was a sudden anxious feeling taking Maka over. She gasped and bolted up in the bed.
"Maka? You okay?" he asked, worried. Her eyes widened as she looked from her notebook to her textbook to her research paper to her pencil and back again. Soul suddenly knew.
"Shit!"
It was too late now, though. No matter how quickly they worked, what needed to happen was not going to happen, especially because the project was due that day.
Maka held her face in her hands and said, "I can't believe we were literally so distracted with each other and our own drama that we forgot to do it." Soul chuckled.
"Why don't we just stay home today and work on it all day?" he offered. Maka thought for a moment.
"I guess we could go ask my dad," she said. Soul rolled his eyes.
"Go ask," he said, motioning to the door of the bedroom. Maka slipped out of bed and walked to Spirit's room, the same feeling of nervousness she had three years ago when Mini-Maka had asked to stay home to work on a project she had forgotten about.
Only she wasn't the same Mini-Maka that Spirit adored. In fact, Spirit had developed a sort of grudge against her ever since she snuck out of the house to see Soul. If there was a time he would deny her the chance to make up that project, it would be now. And Soul being the one who distracted her only deepened that grudge he had.
Maka knocked on the door to his room quietly before opening it to flash a guilty smile at him. Spirit looked over to her and cocked his head in confusion.
"What do you need, Maka?" it sounded more like a statement than a question. Maka twirled a lock of her hair between her fingers before answering, "C-Can Soul and I stay home today to work on a project that we forgot about...?" Spirit didn't look like he was in the mood to be reckoned with. Having just woken up, he grumbled and slided out of bed in just his boxers.
"I'll drive you two to school at the end of the day to turn it in. Just go to your last two hours, okay?" he said. Maka mentally fist pumped and ran out of the room to tell Soul.
After that, they worked harder than ever to finish that project in time. They were lucky as hell that the project was due the last hour of school. They created the poster board, put an entire report together, and rehearsed their speech about twelve times. Once they were all ready to go, they were just on time: two hours before the end of school. Spirit drove the two to school and dropped them off, making sure that they had everything they would need. Right before Soul closed the backseat door, though, Spirit said to him, "Maka better get an A on that project or you're dead, buddy." Soul just nodded like he didn't care (because of course he didn't) and continued to run towards the school.
The second-to-last hour of school went by pretty quickly, allowing some last-minute panic attacks to slip from Maka as she worried about her grade. When Maka and Soul finally walked into Language Class, they found out that they'd be the last ones to go. Maka mentally face-palmed at the realization of her anxiety. As the clock's hands became slower and slower, she bit her lip and tapped her foot on the floor nervously. It was all she could do to stay calm when her turn approached.
And as Maka was sweating nervously and stuttering and biting her lip as she spoke, Soul was a cool as a cucumber. He leaned back on the wall in a chill way, surveying the class and reading from their report calmly. He smirked at the class when the report was finally all over and they were dismissed.
"How the fuck do you just stay calm like that?!" Maka demanded. Soul shrugged.
"Swag," he laughed. Maka playfully punched him in the arm. They walked down the hallway and to Soul's car, just as they have been doing for the past couple weeks. They got in the car, but before he started it up, a mob of guys attacked him with questions and laughs. Soul waved at them.
"Soul, are you two back together now?" one guy with a blonde afro asked. Soul nodded, smiled, and kissed Maka on the cheek, resting his arm around her shoulders. She blushed as all the guys stared at her. The blonde afro guy gave him a thumbs up and motioned for the guys to follow him to his bright red car. Soul and Maka then sped off, heading towards her house.
It seemed like a new beginning for the two; one that would set off the next level of their relationship that was ten times better than the last. Not only did Maka feel happier, but she could tell that Soul did too. And that made it all the more enjoyable.
YAY HAPPY ENDING JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN :DDD It sucks though because it'll be forty degrees and raining here. -_-" NO TRICK OR TREATING FOR THIS ONE! Nah I'll be laying on the couch and stuffing my face with store bought candy that hasn't been poisoned by strangers. XDD Well, happy Halloween to you guys! :3 I hope you liked the story! x3
