If I Were A Boy
They made it towards Soul's house, he settled her on the couch and they had a small argument that Maka didn't insist in sitting because she was dripping wet. And it was settled with a chop on the head. "Alright, go and take a hot shower or something" Soul said while rubbing his cranium.
Maka crossed her arms before unbuttoning her long sleeves. Soul suddenly regained his senses and he tried to remain them closed. Even if he wanted to. It took all his willpower to avoid nosebleeding, because her long sleeves was see-through especially when it's wet. Maka, suddenly glared at him.
"What?!"
"W-why are you unbuttoning your clothes?" Soul asked a bit shaky and nervous. Maka cocked an eye brow before sighing and then continued unbuttoning her sleeves and Soul continued buttoning them back. "Well, I'm gonna take a bath. Isn't it obvious?"
"Well, you can't just strip here in the living room. You can strip inside the bath room" Beads of sweat started forming on his forehead. And Maka realized how paranoid Soul was, so she started nodding slowly with a devilish smirk on her lips. She started unbuttoning her sleeves once again. this time Soul noticed her smirk. Something snapped inside her, something different.
"What? Soul can't handle this? I'm your girlfriend now, right? Or..." Maka sat on his lap when he fell on the couch. With his mouth gaped open. Did Maka just flirted with him? Or is he just... Not himself? Did she did it with Kid? Soul snapped that particular question away before he could do anything stupid.
"The kiss was not enough" She whispered as she slid her sleeves away. Her creamy-painted skin was exposed with beads of water from the rain. She wore a black bra, Soul in particular realized that Maka was indeed sexy. Her breasts weren't really big but they were perky. Her curves were on the right places and the skin amazed him. Like, if he touched it, would it react?
Instead, Maka stood up and cackled a laughter. "Dude, your face was priceless. And, I know you hate flirting. I was just playing, anyways... I'll go and take a shower" Then, she got back from being Maka. The way he likes it. Soul sighed in satisfaction as he watched Maka hum her favorite song while walking towards the bath room. She surely is a limited edition.
Soul found an old shirt of his and some sweat pants, he knocked on the bath room until the water stopped rushing. He nervously sighed before Maka responded with a groan. "Maka, here's some clothes for you to wear" But he didn't heard any reply.
"Uh... Maka?" He knocked twice, before perking his ears on the door. The other side was silent, which was strange for him. What if she got hurt? Or, she's unconscious? What if she's not inside? Soul's brain started to turn wild with insane questions that he instinctively opened the door.
He stopped worrying when Soul was facing her back, Maka was busy draping the towel around her body and her pins were on her mouth, that's why she can't respond back. Soul was speechless, her back was very creamy and smooth. When Maka finally noticed, she hurriedly wrapped herself with the towel and threw her tooth brush on Soul's face.
"PERVERT!" She yelled before slamming the door closed. Soul slowly stood up, his cheeks turning red from the sight. He realized more and more how sexy Maka was, with all those clothes she wore, her curves were hidden. But not until today. She was indeed sexy, maybe even sexier than Blair. Imagining her right now, gave him a nosebleed.
"Shit" He cursed under his breathe before rushing towards the sink to wash his nose. He tried calming down and slowly it worked. He will soon be used to Maka, the one he felt that he belonged to. He never experienced being nervous before, this was the first time. Sure, he felt excited whenever he sees Blair but not like this. Like the feeling of excitement and fear at the same time, that you don't know what to feel anymore. That's what he's feeling right now.
The next day followed and Maka felt nervous about school. Especially when they are NOW walking hand in hand inside the campus. Mostly, students were shocked and whispered rumors about them. Soul didn't gave a single fuck about them but Maka was smiling nervously to everyone. It was normal that they are shocked but it wasn't normal that they're holding each other's hand while walking. Maka couldn't blame them.
Soon, they reached the hallways where those different kinds of groups were. The anorexics, the bullies, the jocks, the cheerleaders and many more. Maka's heart moved in her throat, she felt a bit embarrassed. "S-soul, this is embarrassing" Maka whispered, her cheeks red from the attention they were getting.
Soul chuckled in response and turned towards her. "Maka, there is nothing to be ashamed about. So what if they think we're not cool together? I don't give a shitting fuck... All I care is what you think... Do you think we should continue?" Maka bits her bottom lip in case she says anything stupid. Soul always found that gesture cute.
"Fine then" As usual, Soul grabbed her hand and then they continued walking. They both stopped walking when a girl stood up in front of Soul. She has a short bob hair in red, her eyes were pale green and she wore a cheerleader's uniform. Maka snuggled behind Soul's back like a child.
"Are you... Dating Maka?" The girl narrowed his eyes with a questioning look. Soul cackled a laughter before replying. "Isn't it obvious?" He raised both his and her hand laid together. The girl hesitated for a second before flipping her phone. "I need to tell Sadie about this-"
"Oh no, I'll do the honor" Soul grinned before he wrapped one arm around Maka's waist. "Soul, what are you doing?!" She half whispered and half yelled. Soul ignored her question.
"EVERYONE! STOP MUMBLING SHIT ABOUT THIS, I'M TELLING YOU THIS RIGHT NOW... MAKA AND I ARE DATING. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING WRONG WITH WHAT I SAID OR I'LL KICK YOUR ASSES" Everyone weren't believing them. They were giving them looks like 'Really? You're kidding'. Maka finally decided to control Soul's words of announcement.
"Don't give us that look, we're both dating... See?" Maka held his hand and showed it to everyone. Soul was enjoying Maka's company that he only watched them. The crowd was silent and they did that look again. When someone from the back yelled "PROVE IT!". Maka stopped convincing and her cheeks turned pink.
"That's what I've been waiting" Soul smirked before grabbing Maka by the waist and pulling her closer. Maka started breathing abnormally as Soul placed a hand on her cheek. "Errr" Was Maka's only reaction. Until Soul leaned forward and closed his eyes. He slowly placed his lips on hers, he kissed her softly before turning back to the crowd. Maka remained on her position, still stunned.
The crowd turned silent and then slowly nodded. When a nerd started clapping, then a cheerleader followed, then another and another. Until the whole crowd applauded. Finally, Black Star walked in and popped out of the crowd. "Soul and Maka, what did I miss? And what's with all this creeps?" He pointed towards the crowd he walked into.
"Well, they're congratulating us that Maka and I are dating" Black Star laughed so hard that Maka stepped on his foot. He yelped in pain before giving them the same look with the crowd before. "Seriously, what's with that look?" Maka asked while Soul shrugged his shoulders.
"Soul and Maka, I know you two... Are the both of you pranking the school again?" Black Star asked as if it was the most obvious question ever. Maka gave up trying to convince Black Star, she walked with Soul in hand inside the classroom. They sat on their seats, both were on the back. An empty seat beside Maka while Soul was on her right.
Maka and Soul were talking, when Kid walked inside the classroom. His golden gleaming eyes staring at Maka pleadingly. Soul noticed how Kid begged by his eyes, Soul glared daggers at him. His red wine eyes piercing in a different shade of red.
Kid didn't mind Soul's glares and mental notes of killing him, he even sat beside Maka on the left. But before Soul could say anything, the teacher walked in just in time. He greeted everyone a short morning before everyone greeted him back. Maka felt a bad feeling about this. Instead, she turned silent with the dark aura building around her.
The teacher started discussing his lesson and Maka pretended that she was listening. But out of the corner of her eye, Kid was staring at her. Wanting to get her attention. "Maka" He whispered. Maka closed her eyes and then started scribbling random notes inside her notebook. She thought, school would be okay. She thought Kid is okay with Misa.
"Maka" Kid called her again. She restrained herself to reply back but she couldn't. Instead, she did reply. "I thought you're okay with Misa"
Kid sighed in sorrow. "I broke up with her, Maka-I... I was wrong. There's no reason about this fault. It is really my fault. You haven't done anything wrong-"
"Kid drop it... I-I'm sorry too. I-I used you. L-let's just forget about it. I'm with Soul now"
"But Maka-"
"No, you're supposed to be with Misa. Kid, I'm not mad at you... I-I honestly felt relieved"
"Maka, I love you" Maka stopped herself from talking. Soul suddenly stood up from his seat with his hands fixed into fists. His teeth clenched tight and he glared at Kid. They drew too much attention that the professor stopped writing on the board.
"Mr. Evans, sit down. Unless you want to share something to the whole class" Soul didn't said anything. He sat back on his seat with his face darkening into rage.
Then, they all listened back to the teacher. But Soul couldn't bare the thought of Kid pleading for Maka to get back to him. After what he did, Maka told him. After he cheated on her, he still had the nerve to plead for her. Soul swore to himself that he'll kill Kid. He'll get through those troubles even if he has to.
And when the time comes, it was Lunch. Soul immediately took a fist full of his shirt and slammed him against the wall. Maka tried her best to restrain Soul but he won't listen. A few of their classmates, circling around them. "You piece of shit, after what you did to her... You still won't stop! Don't you get it? She doesn't like you anymore" Soul tried to make himself clear, silent.
Kid stared at him grimly, his golden eyes gleaming and flashing a spark, he tried to remove Soul's grip but he couldn't.
"I know that. I noticed my mistake, I know that. I've been wrong and there-there's no reason beyond that. It's my fault" Maka was close to tears, she doesn't know why. Why was she crying? Is she crying because of what Kid's doing?
"Soul, I don't want to cause any problem. I just... Words can't tell how I regret everything. I don't love Misa. I was... I was seduced" Soul punched him on his jaw, he groaned in pain as his knees wobbled like jelly. Maka couldn't take it anymore. She ran away from the both of them. As fast as she could go.
Soul didn't removed his grip on his collar, his eyes directly glaring at his. "Pull that shit again! Kid! Can't you see? We're both happy? She's happy! Why can't you just let it go?" Soul's voice trailed softer when he asked the last question.
"Soul... Maka is very special. She's everything a true lady is like. She's sweet, kind and very caring. I-I don't know if I could find someone as special as her" Soul removed his grip on Kid's collar, he staggered away. Turning ninety degrees from him, Soul spoke.
"Just... Don't pull that with Maka. Not my Maka" Soul looked for Maka. From libraries to classrooms. From the school roof top to the laboratories. He was almost gonna give up when an idea popped in his head. He knew Maka too well. He immediately ran away and turned to one place he knew she'll come. The hill far from the campus.
The figure cleared when he reached the top. Maka had her eyes closed, thinking deeply. The breeze of the wind playing with her hair. Soul sat down beside her and when Maka noticed him, she opened her eyes. They both stared towards the school's building.
"Why did you ran away?" Soul asked as softly as he could.
"I don't know. I just... I couldn't take Kid anymore" Then, it was silent. Soul had had this feeling, a bad feeling. Like, if he's going to ask a question, things will go completely wrong.
"Maka... Do you love me?" Soul asked, this time he turned towards her with a serious look in his face. Maka hesitated for a while. She knew she does. But why is her voice stuck in her throat? Why did she hesitate? She loves him. From the moment, they became friends.
"Of course"
"Do you love Kid?" Soul started playing with the grass all over them. Maka didn't know what to answer. She loved Kid because of her passion for Soul that she couldn't give when he was in a coma. But she knew she stopped.
"I... I d-don't know" His chest was heavy and was like shot fifty times. He thought, she fully loved him. But what was it? Is she in love with two guys at the same time? Or is she just infatuated?
"Maka, I can't handle a competition. I want just only us" Maka couldn't speak. Like, her throat was acidic.
"Is it too much to ask?" He asked. He couldn't even look at her in the eye. He didn't want to see what she's feeling for him and Kid.
"Maka, I-I can't be a martyr and share you with someone else. I-I just can't. And if you can't handle being with one person, let's just end this" Soul walked away. He doesn't know if he was crying or he was sweating through his eyes. But he felt what truly is to be heart broken.
