Swimsuit 2

The loud knocking on the door was what woken Soul up. With an exhausted sigh, he lethargically stood up to answer it.

"Oh. Soul," Liz spoke in surprise. Patty and Tsubaki stood behind her. The trio of girls were all changed into breezy, casual wear and were each holding a relatively large tote bag. Soul raised an eyebrow at them.

"Where is Maka?" Tsubaki asked. They had expected her to answer the door rather than her lazy roommate. The boy shrugged.

"Ah... I just woke up," he explained, casually scratching the back of his head. He cast a glance around the room and shrugged again. "Yeah... I dunno."

Irritation pricked at the white-haired male's insides. He obviously didn't expect his partner to be at his side 24/7 but he didn't like the fact she didn't even wake him up before abandoning him in their extravagant room. The least she could do was tell him where she was.

He ran a hand through his hair. No, that wasn't right either. There was no need for him to be that controlling, was there?

"Well, if she comes back or if you find her, tell her to come to Tsubaki's room. Black*Star and Kid have already gone down to the dining room in the Northern Hallway. We're eating in room A23," Liz directed, before turning to make her exit. Soul nodded and started to close the door again, but Tsubaki held a hand out and stopped him.

"Ah, also, for today only, wear something nice. Nothing too fancy or anything, but the owners have high exceptions for us all," she included. Soul smirked.

"And yet we still brought Black*Star along?"
"Black*Star... They already know him, but I made sure he was dressed nicely before leaving."

"Well, don't worry about it. Maka's probably going to have me wear something stiff anyway," he chuckled.

The trio finally left, and Soul was back in the quiet room.

With nothing better to do, the boy started unpacking his clothes from his suitcase and hanging them up in the closet and the drawers provided in the room.

Then, he heard a heavy door open and close. The sight he saw almost made his jaw drop.

Maka stood in what seemed to be the entrance of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel. As their eyes met, her face flushed a light shade of pink and Soul was sure his was turning red, red, red.

"I-I thought you were still asleep!" she exclaimed, quickly retreating behind the door.

"Sor- I'm sorry for being awake then!" he sarcastically replied, although he looked away feeling flustered. He grabbed random clothes from his bag and quickly stood up. "I have to- I'm going to change!" he declared.

"But Soul, that's a closet!"

The male didn't hear her words because he clumsily stumbled and ran into the door itself.

In a panicked manner, Maka ran to Soul. The white-haired male was on the ground, grumbling about his head and the pain caused by the "stupid god forsaken door".

The female lifted his head up quickly and tried to access the damage done. He had hit the side of the door as he was opening it, but the small dent was nothing in comparison to her infamous 'Maka-Chop's. However, the red surrounding it held hints of a dark purple. One third of his forehead would definitely be bruised tomorrow morning.

"Are you okay? Watch where you're going, you idiot!" his green-eyed companion exclaimed.

"Shut up, I was rushing, okay?" Soul countered. His eyes that had been squeezed shut finally opened, but the sight he saw made him close them again. "What about you? Put on some clothes, idiot!"

"Oh! Right!" The female dropped his head back onto the ground- to which he cursed- and quickly ran to her suitcase to select her own outfit for the night and then went straight into the bathroom to change.

When the pain had faded into a dull pounding, Soul sighed.

"At least she's not ignoring me anymore."
