So... I wanted to insert some of my cute BROTPs in the seris, and it came up well. in the future I will definitely add more. Maka is putting affort in dressing up in cute outfits for some reason *cough* dark & skull themed *cough*, Kid is showing he cares, and Soul is trying to tell Kid to back off his crush. Dream on, you poor thing.

Maka's point of view
"Home..." I sighed and followed the Thompson sisters out of the train, followed by Tsubaki and the boys. "Maka! Maka dear!" I froze to the voice of my annoying papa.
Breathing deeply, I turned around. 'He's just here to give me a present or something' I allowed myself to drop my guard, bad choice. "We've planned the celebration while you were away!" his eyes sparkled in excitement. The moment was of course ruined by a random lady that suddenly walked up to us, slapped him and ran away.
"Who... Never mind. Forget I asked. I don't want a birthday celebration! I went on a mission so-" I jumped in surprise to feel a warm hand on my mouth. "Black-" I struggled in his hands, trying hopelessly to escape. "What are you, stupid? More presents!" Black*Star whispered in my ear. "Thank you very much Mr. Death Scythe Sir, Maka will love to have a birthday party with as many people as possible!" Black*Star continued. I spotted Soul at the edge of my eye, shaking his head in amusement. I signaled him for help.
Is this my punishment for not wearing the stupid headband? Well, as much as I hate to admit, he had a point there. I couldn't bring myself to get the ring off. I worked so hard to keep Kid sane; putting off planned symmetry was out of the question if I wanted him to stay this way.
"I hope you are pleased." I growled at Black*Star, being finally released after my papa left the station. "I'm sorry, I have a car full of, uh... stuff, so you will have to take the bus. I do have one spare place if-" were his last words. I hurried to decline.
"I think it would be nice, having a party as well as a smaller get together." Liz said as she laid her back against the wall of the underground train station, near Soul. "Will there be giraffes?" Patty raised her head from the animal coloring book she carried anywhere in case she'll need it. "I doubt there will be, but we can arrange some giraffe patterned maps and curtains." Tsubaki answered kindly.
"When are we going shopping then?" Kid's voice asked, making everybody laugh. "You can take Black*Star, I'm not investing money in this joke." Soul made his opinion clear. "Of course you need new suits! How can you surpass god with only one suit? I must look better than Kid at all times." Black*Star continued to ramble. Kid moved uncomfortably.
"I'm not really sure how to respond to that." He spoke eventually, causing me to shake my head in laughter. "I agree with Soul. You guys shouldn't dress all fancy for me." Kid choked on some air, an unsettled expression on his face. The girls returned to their chat. For a second I caught a small blush spread on his face when noticing both mine and Soul's piecing glares. I turned my eyes to face Soul, but he has already started walking in the direction of the bus station. "Let's go before we miss the buss!" He yelled. The group quieted down, following wordlessly.
Kid's point of view
"Hey Kid!" Maka magically appeared on my doorstep. "Maka? What are you doing here?" I stepped back, suddenly smiling as I saw the ring on her finger. I didn't expect her to wear it all the time, but for some strange reason she did.
"The fact only yesterday we returned from a mission is not an excuse to stop the treatment. What if your OCD will come back? We will both fail. Besides, I like sticking around." She smiled and handed me a box. "It's... a puzzle?" I asked, confused. "Yes. Do you mind playing?" I nodded and started walking toward the living room, suddenly realizing Maka already passed me and ran to it. Since when have she known my house so well? Most guests would get lost.
"Is it symmetrical?" I asked, feeling guilty for being bothered by such small details. "I can't promise you that. The Idea behind the puzzle is to see how well your reason can control your OCD- you see, because in puzzles no part is exactly the same in shape and looks, and even if you try making a symmetrical picture they won't fit. If you want them to do so, you need to accept the fact that they won't look the way you wanted." I felt a small shiver going down my spine as she poured out the pieces. "Well, let's start."
...
"I'm so worthless!" I dropped to my back and covered my eyes with my hands, not wanting Maka to see me cry. "Maybe it was a little too advanced for you." Maka sounded a little amused. "It's not funny! What kind of a god is defeated by a puzzle? The pieces... they just won't fit." I opened my eyes, feeling strange warmth around me. I took a deep breath, returning the hug. "Say, Kid, have you ever thought about your dad, his madness? I think his madness is getting overly attached. Maybe that's why he closed himself in the death room, and watched everyone through a mirror... the ones he did let closer to him betrayed him, or died, so you are his one exception- and he's always watching you. It's a dangerous madness considering his duty, all of the deaths around him must hurt badly, but he sucked it up, didn't he? He knew it was essential, even bringing Asura, his son, down." I frowned, knowing she's probably right. "Failing won't make you a bad Shinigami, giving up after one try will." She deepened the hug. "OI, get a room." Liz stepped into the living room, holding a bucket of popcorn and a big cup of fruit shake.
We parted, both blushing in sync.
Maka's point of view
Her warm hugs were one of the things I missed the most. I wrapped my hands around her, cuddling in the dream made fog.
"Maka?" I suddenly felt insecure, as If I've been forgetting something. "Mom?" I called, looking up to an unexpected pair of eyes, as pretty as first sunshine. At least that's what it felt like, looking at pure gold.
I sat in bed, opening my eyes in panic. "No! I want back!" The alarm clock picked the right time to set off, didn't he? I wished to get back to sleep, continue dreaming, but the lingering fingers of the dream slipped away too fast for me to grab. Besides, that will get me late for school, and choosing dreams over real life was not a wise decision.
**She learned that herself after her parents divorced- got way too into anime and dragged Black*Star down with her. It affected them both, only that she got better with time, and he still believed he could be like those guys- better yet, becoming a god. Oh well.**
I stood up, shaking my head. "Soul! It's your turn for breakfast!" in return I got a shout back. "I'm asleep, and I'm not gonna get up just to serve you food. Make it yourself or you'll have to wait till I'm up."
I groaned, picking up my outfits for the day. Of course, I could just go with the normal coat, but today I felt... inspired. I stretched for the upper shelf, grabbing an old, big black sweatshirt. Thinking quickly, I picked up a pair of scissors and cut the top to reveal the shoulders and back. I then threw on a pair of short jeans and a gray strapless, eventually putting on the sweatshirt, taking spatial care for its symmetry. I walked in the bathroom, brushing my teeth and hair. I then tied it in two low pigtails and clicked a skull pin on each side. I'm ready to take on this day! ~not yet~ my tummy made a loud, inconvenient noise. "Soul, are you up yet?"
Kid's point of view
Today I've woke up early. Maka said I must start getting to school on time or even a line of straight A's won't help me. Since I've never really got an A, that scared me pretty bad. What kind of a Shinigami fails at school? Especially DWMA. Besides, it was a part of the challenges Maka set for me: first, get up before eight O'clock. Second, brush your teeth for less than eight minutes, and not make eight swipes on each tooth. Third, I needed to eat a giraffe shaped toast, because Maka wanted something asymmetrical and Patty wanted a giraffe. When I'm done, I should leave, -without checking on my house-, and fly to school with Patty and Liz, without trying to fix my hair. I don't know why she insisted on the last one, entering the school with a messy windblown hair made me look like one of these adored rock stars, and it was quite embarrassing.
Then again, she seemed to be pleased by the way I handled this particular task, so it was worth it, wasn't it?
"Sup?" Soul was first to welcome me. I must admit, for some reason the two of us didn't really get along lately. Black*Star was a whole other story. The newly achieved self-awareness brought me to like him more, finding him to be like the little brother I always kinda wanted. Looking up to me and trying to beat me at everything, we ended up challenging each other to every subject and having a lot of fun. The only thing I couldn't get used to was being called "bro" and "dude", but that was fine.
"Hello Soul." I replied, smiling to Liz and Patty as they ran off. Hopefully Soul got over whatever it is that brought him to dislike me in the first place. "Say, Kid, can I talk to you somewhere else? I know the lecture is about to start but it's no big deal, right?" I thought for a moment. Whatever that was, it didn't look too argent. "It's... Not a good time. I've just decided yesterday that I'm going to start coming at the right time to class to raise my grade. Maka's Idea." he looked like I just hit him with a stick. "Well, that's part of it." I crossed my arms. "It will have to wait." Even if it were to repair our friendship, I rather let it wait than disappoint Maka. "It's not anything critical, is it?" He nodded slowly, retreating into class.
"Hey Maka! I'm here early, like-" I was about to put down my bag when Soul slipped into my seat. "Actually, Soul, We planned on practicing writing today, so..." Maka said softly. "No, its okay, we can work on it at the mansion later. I'll be fine sitting here." I putted my bag on the seat next to Soul. Tsubaki and the sisters were sitting on the line underneath us. "Hey bro, do you feel spacial yet? I chose to sit next to you today. See yourself as blessed by the presence of the great me." I grinned. "Why aren't you with Tsu?", I asked as Stein entered the class. "What about you? I saw you weren't with the sisters so I came to check up on you." from his speech I got that he felt insulted I chose Soul and Maka over him and Tsubaki. "I was supposed to practice writing with Maka, but we gave it up, since I've already improved this much." I explained. Black*Star's started to look pumped up. "Oh yea? I bet ya I can write twice as fast as you do, privet lessons or not!" I raised an eyebrow, summoning a pen out of my hand. "You're on."
