Chapter Seventeen
I just stood there, motionless, staring at the floor. 'No. No. No. No. No. No.' It seemed like I had thought that word over and over again for the longest time. Wow. Déjà vu. Wasn't 'nothing' just echoing through my head? I began getting very fascinated with the rug. 'The patterns... They intertwine with each other, like a never ending ocean of fabric and color.' I started to count the strands, when I saw a dust speck float by my face. I was completely fascinated by it, and jumped up from the ground where I had somehow wound up, curled in a ball, and stared at it. 'Its amazing how it defies gravity and floats through the air, like a tiny phoenix, waiting for its purpose in life. It's beautiful.' I didn't realize it until I looked away from the speck for a moment, but I was now on top of our kitchen table, walking on it, following the speck. Wait. Wait. OUR kitchen table!
I immediately snapped out of my madness. 'What the hell just happened. Oh my god. I can't even go 5 minutes without Maka. I just literally went crazy. Oh my god.' I started having a little rant inside my own head, arguing about bananas with myself eventually. 'STOP! What the hell is happening?! I have to find her!' I managed a strangled cry before collapsing on the floor, hugging my knees. 'No. No. No. Why is this happening? Why? Why did she leave me? Oh yea, she hates me.' That last thought sent a shiver throughout my entire body. 'Stop. You're having another break down. Stop it. You're going crazy. She'll come back. She has to. ... Right? Soul. Soul. Soul!'
"SOUL!" I realized it wasn't in my head, and snapped my head up, looking around wildly. Nothing.
"He-hello?" I asked quietly, not believing my own ears. I saw nothing. No one was here. Until. Out of nowhere, a girl flipped in midair and landed agilely on two feet and one hand. 'What's going o-... MAKA.'
"Soul! Are you ok?!" I saw that I was once again on the floor, and jumped to my feet, much less agilely than my miester.
"MAKA! Where were you?! I couldn't find you anywhere! I... I thought that you... That...you left... Me..." I looked at my feet and refused to meet her emerald gaze for the rest of the conversation.
"Um... You forgot to look UP... I was straddling the door way...and Soul.." Whenever she says my name I get goosebumps for a minute for some reason..."You should know that I would never leave you... It was just a stupid game... Have you ever thought that maybe you weren't... Um... Very good at it?" I kept my head down, but only moved my eyes to peek at her face. She wasn't laughing; concern was washed throughout her features, but that made me chuckle.
"You're right. I never liked hide and seek..." I grinned at her, weakly at first, but her following smile washed all emotions from my face except joy. She was ok. She didn't leave, and she never will. She doesn't hate me. My grin got wider, and I had to resist the urge to hug her.
Maka yawned, stretched,and yawned again.
"How about we just give up and go sit back on the couch again?" She looked hopeful, so I didn't object. She walked to the couch, then fake fainted into it, sinking deep into the fabric. I sat down at the other end. She rightened herself, then looked back and forth a few times between me and the distance between us, confused.
"Oh... Uh... Sorry..." I muttered, then scooted further away. She exhaled loudly, rolled her eyes, then got up.
"I'm cold, dummy..." She giggled, then plopped down next to me. Like, right next to me. She cuddled into my side, then looked up at me with those big, hypnotizing, emerald eyes of hers. I didn't notice I had been staring right back for a while until she blinked. I quickly looked away, and fidgeted a little. We sat there in silence, which was incredibly awkward to me, until I heard her start to snore very softly. My face went beet red as I realized she was sleeping on me. For the second time. Wow.
I froze, not wanting to wake her up. 'Well, at least it wasn't an accident this time...' She stirred,rolled over so she was facing me, and threw her arm around my waist, which sent yet another shiver up my spine at her touch. I breathed out a shaky breath, then tried to calm down. Eventually I started falling asleep, drifting slowly away into non-existent fantasies about non-existent things.
Maka
I woke up in the middle of the night; felt something stir. As my eyes came into focus, I saw that I wasn't in my room, I was in the living room. I was warm... Very warm. I snuggled up to the pillows,but stopped when I felt that they were harder than usual. I turned around to face the back of the couch and saw that I was leaning up against a sleeping Soul. 'Wow. He sure does look a lot better when he's sleeping...it's one of the only times he doesn't have that stupid, supposedly 'cool' smirk on his face. Except for when he's being himself. I like it when he's shy... It's just... Humph... I can't explain it... When he's the Jerk, he always has to be... Well... A jerk... And when he's not... I always have the sudden urge to hug him, either because he looks hurt, embarrassed, or he was being... *ahem*... Cute. He stirred again.
"M...Makaaaaa..." He groaned. "Don leev me..." I felt my face heat up, realizing he was dreaming... About me... Wow. I snuggled back into him and dreamt about few special little things of my own...
Soul
The next morning, I was... I... I was sleeping with... With Maka... Again... And I was in a completely different position than the night before... AGAIN. My face was buried in her neck. I could smell her sweet vanilla perfume, which made me breath in deeply before realizing what was going on. My face turned into a tomato, yet again, as I took in the rest of the situation. We were laying side by side, facing each other. Her arms were loosely wrapped around my waist, while one of mine was under her, the other resting on her back. And, like I said, my face was shoved between her chin and her chest. Great. No, really... That was how I felt. I didn't want to move... Ever...
She twitched her hand a little in her sleep, her gentle touch tickling my back in the process... (WHY AM I SO FREAKING TICKLISH?!) which caused me to jerk a little. She noticed, of course, so I immediately pretended I was asleep... It would be less embarrassing this way... So I won't have to look her in the eyes... She groaned softly, then froze. I'm guessing she just saw our... Erm... Position...
"Um... S..soul?!" She stuttered.
I responded way to fast, "Er...yea?" Great. I felt her tense after I answered, so I knew that she knew I wasn't sleeping.
"Um..."
"Never mind..." She must have felt my face heat up on her neck...
"Er... S-sorry..." I began fidgeting around, trying to get my face out from under her chin, but my arm was stuck."erm... I uh... Can't get up..."
"...that's ok... You can stay there if you want..." My eyes widened at the offer. She must have felt me tense,
"Or... Not..." Crap... Now she feels bad...
"NOOO NONO! I'll... Uh... Stay here... If you want me to... Uh... Yea."
"..."
GAH! Too much silence! I felt my face get even hotter as the quiet stung my ears like I siren only I could hear.
"Um... Are you running a fever? Your face is getting really hot..." She leaned back her face as much as she could to get a glimpse of mine... And after seeing my wide eyed, red faced complexion, she must have come up with a different conclusion than a fever, because she relaxed her chin back on top of my head and sighed,
"Just go back to sleep..." I made a noise halfway between an 'ok' and a whine. Why couldn't I just get up?! I was so embarrassed I was stupidly frozen in place... When will this stupid shyness go away?! Before I knew it, I had ranted myself back to sleep, breathing in Maka's sweet scent once again.
you're not allowed to make fun of soul cause he want crazy... He just can't live without Maka... So there. Humph. OMG SOO MUCH AWKWARDNESS IN THIS CHAPTER like every other chapter... I guess I just like that kind of stuff... FLUUUFFFF (inside joke don't worry about it if you have no clue what fluff is) BBBBYYYYEEEEEEE! :)
