A/N : What should I do with Soul and Maka? I love the couple but I want them to love each others hearts first. Again, Hiya and Sathi deserve equal credit for the story.

A Cup of Coffee?
'Her hand was so warm' He thought as he pulled away his hand instantaneously. why did he pull away? He knew the reason. Because she pulled away too.
'His hands were warm' She thought as she pulled away her hand. No matter how much she didn't want to,she had to. Men are never trustworthy. So, better safe than sorry. Wait, why was she even thinking about it in that particular way? Soul was her friend for death's sake! Sure she liked it when he made her smile in the playground. Sure she liked the way how he gave that cute smile sometimes without noticing it himself. Sure she liked the way how he gave her privacy when she lied about crying in the playground or today when he didn't ask her why she wouldn't let him walk her home. Or how he managed to make her smile almost whenever she felt like the end of the world every time they were together.
Back to the situation at hand. Umm... it's awkward. Simply awkward. Both of them wanted to stay connected longer but none of them took the first step. Both of them wanted to know more about each other but none of them took down their walls. Both of them were blushing like a red tomato but none of them noticed.
" Um.. Soul, my house is this way so i'll be going now. See you tomorrow." Maka said before walking towards the pointed direction. Or at least she tried to walk towards it. Soul grabbed her hand by the wrist. So she couldn't go as she wanted. "Soul?" Maka looked at him shocked.
" I need to talk to you" Soul hesitantly said. Maka was not prepared for this.
" I can't talk now Soul. I'll talk to you tomorrow,okay?"
"No I want to talk now"
"Soul please try to understand I have to go now. I promise I'll listen to you"
"Promise?"
"Yeah"
Soul hadn't let go of Maka's hand all this while. He didn't want to either but still he let go. Maka said, "Thank you." and dashed off. Soul started walking to his house too. He stared at the hand that was holding Maka's hand in it and kept thinking why her wrist was so small and why her skin was so smooth. Why did he find every damn feature about her adorable. Specially her smiles. Her care for friends as well as funny characteristics never failed to amuse him. Or how she would pout if anyone said she was a bookworm or how she would get dead angry whenever Black star mentioned her underdeveloped body. The way he eats, the she grins, the way she smirks. The best was her worried expression for him. That made him feel like he mattered to someone even if just for a few minutes. He noticed he started smiling unwarily when he started thinking about her. What is this smile supposed to mean?
"No, I will not ruin my friendship with Maka."
"No, I will not ruin my friendship with Soul."
A/N : No italic finish this time,huh? I would like your opinion if I should keep making the story or just end it the way it is with a happy ending.
