Knowledge
Soul was a lot smarter than people made him out to be. Actually he was a lot more intelligent than he made himself out to be. He wasn't the kind of person who knew a lot of book smarts, but his knowledge was based more around common sense and strategy. If it weren't for him, Maka would have wound up dead on one of their assignments a long time ago. She was lucky that Soul crossed the line between a Weapon and Meister and broke the number one law of 'listening to and obeying your Meister's orders' the day he decided to tell her to shut up, turn around and try using a different approach before she got herself killed.
She would look back to her naïve days and laugh at herself after realizing she most likely would have died if he hadn't of done that.
Maka could see her guardian angel sitting over on the couch when she left her room. He had an empty soda can on the table, a few pieces of paper laid out on his lap and his head was thrown back against the back of the chair. He was skipping out on studying again, she figured. She would have to punish him for that later, but for now she'd let it slide. Soul was smart, but he never applied the energy to exercise those brain cells like most other students did.
She gathered his handouts and set them down on the table so he wouldn't end up ruining them during his nap. Then her hand flatly placed itself onto the young man's hair to smooth it out. "Thanks dummy." She could almost hear his voice asking behind a stifled yawn just what she meant. She wouldn't tell him even if he had woken up. Instead, she pressed her lips against his forehead and turned to make her way back into her bedroom. They had a test coming up in Stein's class in the morning, so she would get back to her own handouts to read through. For now, she would let Soul get his rest.
She'd treat this like a repayment for saving her ass so many times throughout the years.
