I open my eyes to the bright, shinning sun in my eyes. Taking a look around I find myself in a room that's not mine. I look around for a clock to see the time and I find out I am laying on a bed that is not familiar to me. Looking down I notice someone is in the room with me but on the floor. It is Soul who is laying on the floor which means this must be his room and I am laying in his bed.
Why am I even here? Yosho will be mad at me that I haven't returned since last night. I finally see a clock in the room and it reads 6;30 a.m., no one will be up I should get home now. I try to get up but I feel a sharp pain and yelled out a cry of pain. I cover my mouth because Soul is moving as if I woke him up. He lifts his head up and sees that I am awake and that I woke him up.
"Morning" is all he said to me.
"Morning" I reply back softly. We just stared at each other for five minutes before he decided to say something else.
"You hungry? His vvoice sounds as if he just woke up. His snow white hair is not spiked to the side, but it's not a nappy mess either.
"What happened last night? I ask quickly with a panic voice.
"You fell to the ground and passed out and I would have felt bad just leaving you there. Plus I do not know where you live so I decided to bring you back here, Maka didn't mind it either." I lay down look up at the ceiling for a moment to think. Questions kept popping in my head with each answer he had given me. I sit back up to speak to him again.
"Can I ask why you were out so late yourself?" Once I asked that question it stayed in my head. I know I was out because of my anxiety attack, because I needed to be away from Yosho. Yet Soul was out late too and there is no explanation to why.
"No" Soul lay back down with his back turned to me. I fear I made him angry. It is probably because I did not even say thank you for technically saving my life.
"Thank you, Soul. For what you did, means a lot to me." He stayed silent as if was shocked by what I said.
After 30 seconds of silence he finally replies back "no problem it was nothing really." He stayed where he was on the floor. Thoughts of Yosho kept crawling into my mind and how upset he will be if he finds out I did not home last night. I sat up on his head my feet barely touching the the wooded floor. Hearing my movement he turns around to look at me, "going somewhere?" I could feel pain in my back, probably from when my body hit the ground. The pain made it feel like I couldn't talk but I felt like I could not ignore Soul.
"I uh gotta get home" I mumble softly " before Yosho wakes up." I didn't bother mentioning how Yosho would feel if he knew I was here.
Soul's face went from tired to pissed off, "there is a reason, you got hurt and passed out last night. I bet you can not even walk with how your body smacked against that cement."
A question pops up in my head, if I blacked out then how am I here? "So wait how did I get to your house?"
"I carried you" his tone of voice was annoyed, like I should know the answer. Maybe it was because he had to carry me that was the issue. I mean he never had to he just did it.
"You didn't have to" I whispered putting my head down looking at the dark wooded floor.
"Well no crap" he busted out laughing, this was no joke to me though. "I'll have to carry you home too" he said more serious. "You know because of your back." He looked away at that sentence. I am pretty good at reading people's emotions but with Soul he made it tough so I can't tell if he is truly annoyed or doesn't care at all. I accepted his offer by nodding my head even though he was not looking at me he somehow knew I said yes. He got out from under some blankets and stood up stretching. One arm behind his head griping his other elbow and that arm in the air. He was wearing different jeans then last night and was shirtless. I could see his muscles being kind of flexed when he stretched. I tried to look away but my eyes were glued to him. He walks over to grab a shirt from his draws which is right next to his bed. I looked down when he faced in my direction but I couldn't help but see the scar that started up his right shoulder and went diagonal to almost his left leg. Seeing that scar made me cringe. At that moment couldn't help but look away.
Now that he was fully dressed he walks right in front of me with a bored look on his face. "Well you ready to go home?" I nod and try to stand up without making it look like it hurts. "No" he says sternly "just hold your arms out and I'll carry." I did as he said without another word. He picks me up, I feel like a little kid, one hand was holding my legs and the other is on my upper back. I had my arms around his neck loosely just so he would not drop me. My anxieties are getting to me already, what if people see this and think weirdly by this. What if Yosho sees this and thinks I am dating Soul. What if I am too heavy for Soul to carry.
Soul brought me to the kitchen and sat me down in a chair next to the table. "Maka would kill me if I left without having you eat first so you are eating before you leave." He left the room without letting me argue with him.. Not knowing what to do just sitting in some person's house I check out to see how it exactly looks. It to my shocker is an ordinary kitchen. Even though they are teens living together as weapon and meister.
I begin to hear footsteps in the doorway Soul went to. Maka walks through with her pigtails and pajamas, does she always wear her hair in pigtails? "Hi Iova, glad you could join us " she rubs her eyes as if she just woke up, but has a big smile on her face too.
"No problem, i guess? I hope I am no problem being here" my voice is getting shakey at the thought.
"Nonsense! You got hurt and surprisingly" she gives Soul a glace "this idiot helped you out." Maka did sound shocked as she was saying her sentence, but I ignore it and waited for breakfast to be over since that is all I can do. The pigtail girl made eggs and toast for me, I quickly ate them hoping I could leave right after. I just can not allow Yosho to wake up when I get home. He will have a fit and give a long lecture about how I should not have gone for the walk in the first place.
"Hey you ready?" soul asks in his relaxed, cool guy tone. All I could do was nod, my voice felt lost I don't even know why. He grabs me with one hand on my upper back and the other under my knees once again. "Hold on like before" he sort of commands me. I listen and wrap my arms around his neck. Soul exits the kitchen to a hallway that at the end has a door. Opening the door there is a staircase that leads down to one more door. That is the door that leads to the outside. He walks down the street passing by many different people and not all of them were so respectful. Some people yelled at us saying "cute girlfriend" and others "get at that" or even "lucky asshole", and my least favorite "get it in". All of these comments made me uncomfortable but what put me over the top is the more comments we heard the more aggravated Soul's face got.
He looks down at me and notices that I have a look of worry, "ignore them, they are assholes." I nod my head against his chest and watch the streets as we pass by them. I begin to feel tired realising I didn't really sleep so great last night. My head is still against Soul's chest but my eyes are growing heavy to the point where I can barely keep them open anymore.
"You tired?" Soul asks as if he sensed my tiredness.
"Sorta, I was more blacked out then asleep last night."
"Oh, well go to sleep then I don't care" Soul smiles lightly showing off his sharp shark like teeth.
"You sure? It wont be awkward I mean we barely know each other and-" I got cut off"
"I don't give a crap if I did I wouldn't tell you too" his tone was annoyed sounding.
I did not say a word, I stayed silent and kept my head down but still on his chest. I have to admit I feel comfortable in his arms, laying on him. I never felt this way before. Was I starting to like him? Dear God I can not like him I am not allowed to. I almost fall asleep a few times but I force myself to stay awake. Being in Soul's arm is a different feeling than being in Yosho's arms. Yosho is always so tense and I sense anger in his arms. However with Soul it's just more comforting and it helps me relax more.
"You're home" Soul says to me. I didn't want to be home anymore, I changed my mind I want to stay at Maka and Soul's house. I begin to frown seeing my house in front of me. "What the hell is wrong now?" Soul seemed pissed off yet worried, does he actually care about me?
"I kinda don't want to be home, I mean not yet, I want to stay outside." I sound ridiculous!
"You can't walk you need to rest it" he replies aggravated now.
"Why does it matter if I walk" I ask wondering what he is going to say. I lift my head up so I am staring him right in the eyes.
"Then walking you home would be pointless if you can walk yourself or hunched over walking slowly around." Soul says with an even more annoyed tone then before. Is he really mad I want to walk, that I want to be outside?
"Fine" I give up in defeat. "I won't walk but can you at least put me gently in my room without making noise."
" No, I'm just going to throw you in, what the hell I'm not an asshole or something." The more he talked the more furious he sounded. I didn't even know what to say anymore so I put my head down looking at the ground, closed my eyes and whispered basically to myself "sorry".
He climbed through the window on the second floor. I am not even sure how he did that especially since he didn't bump me into anything. One leg goes in, he ducks to climb through and then the other leg. Soul sits in my bed and slowly lays me down. I feel the bed move as if he got up off my bed. I never opened my eyes but I softly say "thanks" to the wind. Soul was surprisingly still there, he mumbled something under his breath. I imagine he said "no problem" or whatever. Even though it was around 7 o clock in the morning I was exhausted and went back to sleep.

I hear a scream in the distance, surrounded by darkness and the color red. Walls of red that continue for miles. I turn my head to look around to see what the yell I heard was, it was Soul. "Soul!" I yell as loud as possible, running towards him. I observe his body to see he has been stabbed, blood is pouring out of him. "Soul talk to me, are you alright?" Of course not but I for some reason needed to hear his voice.
"Iova" his voice so soft and weak, it brought tears to my eyes. "Come closer" he pauses to cough for a few seconds. "I have to tell you something." He stutters a bit since he is in a lot of pain. I lean in close to him my ear almost pressing against his lips. I am awaiting what he needs to tell me. "I... I..." he is pausing after every word. Come on Soul spill it what do you need to say? "I love you" he finally says with his last breath, he head moves to the side in defeat. He died in my arms after saying a sentence I thought I'd never hear him say.
