**Maka**
After class, Maka hit the training room with Soul. Their wavelengths always matched up perfectly, but to her, there was never enough practice. Even though most practices consisted of Soul laying down and refusing to get up until Maka got frustrated and left him alone. "Maka, what if we practice too much? Then fighting won't be any fun. We should be allowed to be lazy." "Well fine, if you aren't going to get up, then I'll just go to the library." She grabbed her stuff and pushed her way through the metal door, leaving Soul alone with his thoughts. She headed up the stairs wondering where Crona was. "We always seem to bump into each other." She'd noticed how he seemed to accidently run into her, or how their hands sometimes brushed when they were walking. She blushed and heat ran from her head all the way to her toes.
Once she got to the library, she grabbed a book and headed out to the balcony. She stood close to the edge and looked out over Death City. The sun shone on her blond pigtails, showing the different shades of her hair. "The city is so peaceful." Crona said. Maka turned around. "Oh, Crona. I didn't see you when I came out. " "I was just…sitting and reading." He sheepishly held up the book. "Didn't I return that yesterday?" "Yes… I was cleaning the library…I thought that I might read it." "You like to read?" "Well…yes." Crona's skin turned a shade darker than his hair. "He looks so cute when he blushes." Maka thought. She started thinking about what it would be like to kiss him. "I bet his lips are soft." They both leaned forward hesitantly, each ready to back off if the other changed their minds. They leaned closer together until their noses were touching. Their lips pressed together in that final, blissful moment. Maka put her arms around him, drawing him closer.
They parted a little bit after, each looking at one another with wide eyes. It was as if they were seeing each other in a new way. Maka slipped her arms around him and cuddled in close. He looked at her uncertainly as he put his arms around her. "Maybe he's worried he's doing it wrong. Well, it doesn't feel wrong." She cuddled closer to him.
*BlackStar burst in. Maka and Crona parted immediately, but stayed side by side, brushing fingertips as they listened to him ramble. "Come on guys! I don't know what you're doing out here looking at the view, but we need to go! Tsubaki is making dinner and I'm not missing that!" They all hurried out, ready to head to the house for the evening.
