I know… it's a short one. Calm down. I ripped this off from one of my other stories, but it fits perfectly! Just so you know, this is in Soul's POV.

37. Eyes
They were calculating, mesmerizing, and brilliant. When you look at me, the world freezes for a moment and my breath stops for a second. I can't get enough of you and your eyes. The way your emerald eyes shine in the sunlight, and when they twinkle at night, it makes me feel happier than I've ever experienced in my entire life. As I sit next to you, I can't help but notice the way they open just a little more when I'm around you. I give you that all-knowing smirk, and you respond with a small smile. And when you cry, my heart stops. I feel as if the light you bring in my life has been blown out like a lone candle. When you blink, your long lashes move up and down, temporarily hiding the glimmer in your eyes for just a second. But when you open them, my heart skips a beat, because just knowing that you only have eyes for me gives me a feeling of something I've never experienced before; Something that I've always kept hidden in the deepest, darkest corner of my thoughts. Love.
It came as no surprise to me when you looked in my direction on the battlefield and called my name for me to transform. Your eyes were full of drive and courage. Those eyes are what motivated me to become your partner and fulfill out destiny as the greatest weapon and meister duo in the history of Shibusen. The beads of sweat cascade down the side of your pretty little face, but the only thing I see is on the battlefield is jade; Beautiful jade eyes that are filled to the brim with passion and desire to become stronger. This is what attracted me to you in the first place, Maka. This is what makes me want to try harder for you, and protect you for the rest of my life. You continue to show your feelings and emotions through your eyes. They tell so much, and yet, you don't even speak a word.
When the battle is over, the kishin soul is suspended in the air, waiting for me to devour it whole. I transform back into my human form and reach for the red, gooey soul. You watch me with those calculating eyes as I put the soul into my mouth and watch as I swallow it down with ease. I look at you and smirk because that is what we always do after every fight. But a tradition can only last so long. Instead of reporting back to Shinigami-sama, you walk towards me and lean your forehead against mine. Here I am, once again, looking into your beautiful eyes. I feel as if the world is at peace and nothing can harm us. I close my eyes to savor this moment, and… you lean into me and place a chaste kiss on my lips. Right then and there, I knew we were meant to be together.
It's two in the morning. I always get my inspiration around this time. Weird.
