Hey there, lovelies. I know it's been a very long time. I am sorry, but I decided I would finally start writing this again. So, here you guys go. I hope you enjoy.

Soul and Liz stood there hand-in-hand confused. They weren't sure what just happened. Had Kid and Maka just broke up? It all happened so fast. They both couldn't move because they were still in confusion.

Kid approached them rubbing the back of his neck and gave a small smile and lied, "I'm sorry that the double date was ruined. I didn't think we were going to break up."

"It's okay, Kid, you didn't know. Things happen. No worry," Liz smiled and let go of Soul's hand and moved to hug Kid.

"So you and Soul, huh?" Kid asked trying to hide his jealously. Even though he tried to hide it Liz could hear it in his voice.

"Oh, is that jealous I hear in your voice, Mister Death the Kid?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"W-What!? Of course not!" Kid exclaimed as he blushed a deep crimson. "I would never be jealous!"

"We're not actually together, we were pretending so Soul could get Maka and I could…" she whispered as she stepped close to him. Her lips were right next to his ear, "get you."

Kid instantly blushed and looked at Soul and stuttered "I-is that true, S- Soul?"

Soul just nodded as Liz took his hand and lead him out of the restaurant. Soul followed after and retreated to his motorcycle. He was ready to go home. Maybe he would try to talk to Maka tomorrow at work. He hoped that she wouldn't be too torn up about her break up with Kid.

XOXOXOXOXO

Soul arrived at the DWMA at his usual time. He sighed as he parked his motorcycle and began to walk to the building. Usually no one else was her at this time, but today there was a person sitting on the steps. As he moved closer he recognized that it was Maka.

Why was she here this early? Was she okay? She must be torn up about the break up. Soul approached her and spoke softly, "Hey Maka, are you okay?"

"Soul!" She chirped as she stood up to greet him. "I've been waiting for you!"

Could he have heard her right? Did she just say that she had been waiting for him? She didn't seem torn up at all now. If anything she seemed a lot happier. "Oh, you have?" was all that he could manage to say.

"Yeah, well I was curious if you would just like to hang out after work today? You know just catch up after all these years?" She smiled as she straightened out her skirt, that skirt that hugged her hips nicely. Actually everything she was wearing was hugging her nicely.

Soul shook his head and smiled, "Of course, that sounds like a lot of fun. Meet me here at the end of the day?"

Maka smiled and answered, "Yeah, sounds like a good idea,"

They walked into the building catching up a little, Soul couldn't help but smile. Her happiness still meant the world to him. He did love her, he loved her back then, but he just didn't want to admit it then. He wished he would have just told her because maybe things would be different now. For all he knew Maka could have already been his.

The day passed by quickly for once. Soul had become more and more excited.

"Soul, before you leave, I want to ask you a question," Lord Death said as he was about to leave.

"Yeah, sir?" He asked as he turned on his heel to look at him, he tilted his head as he waited.

"How did things go with Miss Albarn?" He asked with an odd sense of optimism in his voice.

"Actually, we are going to hang out tonight and catch up. That's actually who I am going to meet," Soul explained as he blushed a little. It was hard to believe that this beautiful woman could cause him to lose his cool.

"Good! I always thought you two would be good together. I am glad to see things are finally looking up for you, Soul." Death chimed as he held up two fingers in the shape of a "V".

"Thank you, Lord Death; hopefully soon things will develop into more than just friends." Soul explained. "Well if you don't mind now. I am going to go have a great night with a beautiful woman name Maka Albarn."

Soul had to stop walking a couple times so he could calm himself down, so he would be cool and collected when he met up with Maka. He didn't want to seem too excited, it might scare her off.

He coolly walked up behind her and poked her sides, causing her to jump. She was still ticklish after all these years. He smiled and laughed, "Hey there Miss Maka! You ready to go and I hope you don't mind that we sit at my apartment and I make dinner for us?"

"Yeah, let's go and that sounds fantastic!" she beamed as they walked toward his motorcycle together. "You still have your motorcycle."

"Yeah, I've had it fixed up though." He smiled as he got on the bike and handed Maka his only helmet. She put it on and made a pouty face.

"How do I look?" she asked as she placed her hand beneath her chin.

"You look beautiful, but get on so we get going." He laughed at the adorable woman.

Maka got on behind him and held onto him. They headed to his apartment and listened to the air whip past their ears. Maka had missed this, them hanging out and being the best of friends.

They finally arrived at his place and he helped her get off the motorcycle and made sure no one could see up her skirt. She had looked extremely beautiful today. He couldn't believe that they were hanging out after all these years. The two could only smile as they entered the small apartment.

Soul shut the door behind them and then pulled Maka into his arms. He took a deep breath and then whisper, "Maka Albarn, I love you, and I always have."

With those few words he leaned down and captured her lips with his own.

There you lovelies go. I finally posted, I am so sorry it took so long. The next chapter will be rated M and I'll be changing the rating, so if you're underage or don't like it then please don't read.
