Soul's Point Of View
I was late, so very late.
"Right on time, as always." Liz laughed as I sat next to her. As of now she was my only friend, and besides- it annoyed Kid. "Obviously I intended to skip the boring part." she rolled her eyes. "How is your session with Ox coming along?" I blinked a couple of times. "we hadn't really meet up more than once. I don't think Black*Star and Crona did, either." Her lips formed into a silent O. "Why? Have you gotten anywhere with yours?" She nodded. "Kim and I made a bet, First one who breaks takes the other to the mall for a day, expenses included." I raised an eyebrow. "With Kim? Cool. What's your thing?" I asked. "Oh, that. I'm kinda, that's embarrassing.. you know, scary, creepy things with too many legs or, just, ghosts and.. monsters... umm, I get... scared.. too easily. I also get mad way too often but that's mostly Patty's fault. Ever since Kid started working with Maka he doesn't annoy me as much! I just need him to stay quiet until Kim brakes. I won't tell you her problem though, it's her businesses." I leaned my chin on my hand. "Maka really did him good, didn't she?" Liz's eyes fell to the floor. "About that... Soul, you two aren't hooking up or something, are you? I know it's none of my businesses, but-" I chuckled, Causing her to pause. Stein stabbed the desk with his knife, glaring at me for a moment before moving on.
"Of course were not! She's-" I stopped myself, realizing on the last second that she didn't know about them. The temptation was there, of course, but Maka was still my friend, and so was Kid, once. I couldn't betray them; it was an uncool thing to do. I hurried to change the subject. "So, there's that movie that is currently at every cinema, 'Planet Red' I think they called it, something about aliens and some random shit. Not too scary," I quickly added. "I heard about it too! Sounds like a nice film. Are you planning on going?" I pulled my shoulders. "Maka used to watch a lot of movies with me, but lately she ditches me for Kid so I'm not sure. Do you wanna go together?" Liz stared at me, stunned. "L- Like, a date?" I leaned back. "Kinda, I guess." I immediately felt Kid and Maka's eyes on me. "Actually, yes. A date." I declared, angry at the two of them for judging me like that. They had no right. "C-Cool! When will you pick me up?" She asked. Too late, I realized she was taking this seriously. "Seven?" I threw a random time. "Okay. Soul? Is everything alright?" Oh god, I just asked Liz out. What's wrong with me? "Yea, it's just... excitement." Oh my god. She smiled, getting up as Stein dismissed us of class.
Kid's Point Of View
I entered the death room. "Hey Kiddo! What a nice surprise." My dad greeted me. "Hello father. Is Spirit back from Amsterdam?" I asked, nervous. Maka wanted to come too, but that was a thing I needed to do on my own. My dad quickly picked up my intentions. "Oh, yes. He should be here any moment." I sighed and sat near him. "You two are adorable, by the way." He added, making me blush slightly. "But it is quite dangerous. You might accidentally kill her." I turned to him, shocked. "What?" I shouted. Father pulled his shoulders. "You know, god and human, tragic romance... all of these. You might be too much for her to handle." My eye twitched. "Couldn't you tell me that earlier? As in, before I started dating her?" He didn't look too bothered. "I don't think you're there yet. Kisses are fine, so don't worry- the problem lays in the more.. forceful, things." I blushed even harder. "When you'll get there, if you'll get there, she will have to become a Shinigami too." I stared at him. Sometimes he was so... insensitive.
"How do you make someone a Shinigami?" I asked, immediately blushing as I realized what I asked him. "It's easy, actually. You just need to link your soul selves before you link your solid selves. For example, get into her dream and make her eat your fingernail." He raised a finger to shut me up before I shouted. "Disgusting, but effective. You just need to make sure her soul consumed a piece of your soul. Of course, there are much nicer ways of giving her yourself."
That went too far.
"Come on kid, how else did you think it could work?" I sighed. Splitting my soul... that is, splitting to pieces while in a dream. The second part, mushing a Shinigami soul piece into Maka's soul… dad was right, that did make sense. But there was another problem. "If Maka will become a Shinigami, she will live for as long we do." I reasoned. "That is correct." he assured me. "There must be another way. What if she'll become a death scythe?" I asked. "Oh, well, I don't know. I never tried it. Are you willing to bet on that?" I bit my lip. "I would never bet on Maka's life." I determined. I guess we'll have to deal with only cuddles for now.
"Hell no you won't. Would you mind explaining me what brought you to this subject?" Spirit stood at the door. "Pretend I'm not here." Dad walked up to Spirit and took the soul from his hand. I took a real deep breath and straighten my eyes to his. "Hello Spirit. Please sit down; I need to talk to you about Maka." He sat on the chair I summoned, looking at me carefully. "Sir, from all the death scythes, you are the one I appreciate the most. You are a truly hard worker, and a great dad. Maka thinks so, too." I felt nauseous at the tremendous lie. "Which is why your approval is so important, to both of us." Spirit crossed his arms. "Get to the point, Kid." I clutched my fists. "I would like to date Maka, sir." Spirit looked at me, stunned.
"Ugh, Sure, go ahead." my jaw dropped. "Better than that weapon of hers. A Shinigami, huh? You'll treat her well. It's not like she will listen to me anyway." I jumped forward, giving Spirit a crushing hug. "I still don't like you." He mentioned. I smiled, running out to tell Maka.
Kid's Point Of View
"I can't believe papa agreed so easily." Maka laughed into the kiss. I picked her up by the waist and spin her in the air. It was then we both realized we were still at school. Random students roamed the hall, staring rudely as they went out of their way so to not bump into us. "Well then, let's go tell everyone. We just kissed in public, after all."
"I already knew." Black*Star pulled his shoulders. Liz turned to him. "AND YOU DIDN'T TELL US? GOD DAMN IT YOU GUYS!" She shouted. "Pick me up Sunday, two o'clock." Kim said, passing by. Liz almost ripped her hair out. "SERIOUSLY, IF I WASN'T SO HAPPY I WOULD KILL YOU ASSHOLES. REALLY, FUCK YOU." I laughed, gently kissing Maka's cheek. Black*Star twitched, quickly grabbing Tsubaki to a kiss of their own. "Do you have cute nicknames?" Patty asked. "He calls me his angel." Maka announced proudly. "Ha! Your angel is nothing compared to my goddess!" I smiled at him. "I thought about it, but I think angel is more suitable for such a pure and beautiful girl like Maka." She blushed. "Really, you two are too cute." Liz informed us. "Oh, and Maka, You better treat my bro here well." I smiled awkwardly. Soul stood at the back, staring at the floor.
"Hey Soul! What about a hug to your best friend? She's in love." Black*Star asked. Tsubaki, being the more sensitive one in the group, squished his hand as a warning. Seriously, she thought. It was obvious that something was off about Soul.
"Oh, he knew too." I informed the others. Liz smiled, rolling her eyes. "So that's why. I feel so stupid that I missed it." Soul took in a deep breath and stepped in the circle of friends, next to Liz. "You're not stupid; they are just two sneaky bastards." I raised my hand to rub the back of my neck. Maka laughed uncomfortably. "Well, Class is starting soon, the cafeteria is somewhat far away and you two must be hungry, so I guess we'll see you later?" Once again, it was Tsubaki who rescued us of our awkward situation. I nodded in relief.
"Tsubaki is awesome." I shared my thoughts with Maka. "And why is that? Should I get jealous?" I grinned back at her. "There isn't a girl awesome enough to make you jealous. Tsubaki is just... very helpful. Today, for example." She blushed at my compliment. "Why are you so incredible?" She asked in a serious voice. "Who knows, maybe just another Shinigami characteristic." She rolled her eyes. "Or maybe it's you and how incredible YOU are. I simply have to match your pace." I whispered the second part in her ear. "Maka... CHOP!" I held on to my head to stop the bleeding. "No creepy whispering! It makes my face hurt from all the blushing."
Soul's Point Of View
I stood in front of the mansion, hardly holding back from pacing back and forth. Who'd think I ever came back here?
I nearly chickened out, going right back to the safety of my apartment. What if Maka opened up? What if Kid did? How did I end up in this position? A date? With Liz? Who am I to even ask her out? But she said yes, didn't she? Does that mean she's into me? I'm so confused.
"Umm... hi." I released my held breath, only to choke on the sight of how beautiful she was.
Liz wore a long red shirt with a black jacket and black skinny jeans. Her hair was brought sideways and she wasn't wearing her hat. "Oh, wow. Hi Liz." She blushed. "You look pretty good yourself. Let's go." I nodded and threw her one of my two helmets. "My hair is so gonna be ruined." She sighed, but her face said otherwise. I sat on the motorcycle and waited for her to join me. It was weird, all of these years I drove with Maka got me used to her touch, but Liz was different, warmer, she wasn't just holding on to my chest, she was hugging me- and I liked it.
The movie was great. Liz pretty much laughed in just the same parts as I did. No ugly stares for laughing at dirty jokes, no sudden laughter in the lame parts only Maka could get. There were parts where she stole all the popcorn to herself, others where she got bored and started throwing pieces at me, making amazed little noises as I caught them in my mouth.
Then came the scary part. It wasn't that scary, it only consisted of the aliens pulling down their helmets and eating the spaceship crew, no blood included. So when Liz dug her face into my shoulder, it was pretty clear she did so just because she wanted to. I couldn't complain, could I? After all she was my date and somewhat of a crush and doing that I forgot all about my latest problems. I hugged her, rewarded by a satisfied purr.
'What would Maka think if she could see me right now?' I thought. 'She would probably call me a womanizer for moving on so fast. Is that it? Am I using Liz to get her off my thoughts? What am I even doing here with Liz when I know she is best friends with my enemy? Do I love her? Or am I tricking myself into that belief?' But then Liz moved and placed her lips on my neck. 'Fuck Maka' I thought to myself as I lowered my face and kissed her.
We entered the apartment. Outside the sun has already set but neither of us gave a shit about getting her back home. Standing in the doorway I realized Liz is still taller than me, but that didn't even matter as she dragged me to the sofa. "That was probably the best date I've had." She declared, closing her eyes. I kissed her, happy for the first time in weeks. "What do you mean by 'was'?" I grinned at her blush. "What do you wanna do?" She asked, a little stressed by my expression. I calmed myself down for her sake.
"Do you want to watch another movie? We have a bunch of DVD's on the right. I'll make us some dinner in the meantime." She looked relieved as I pulled back, stepping to the kitchen. Soon I returned, carrying two balls full of my spacial dish, bacon pasta. I ate that junk almost all the time. "Oh my god, meat! I missed you." Liz shouted happily. I raised an eyebrow.
"It's just... Kid and this veggie nonsense. Bacon is a real treat." I grinned at her. "Hell yea. What are we watching?" She scooted over as I jumped on the other side of the couch. "A classic." She announced. "There's a few. Which one?" She threw the package at me. Apparently she picked "all dogs go to heaven." that one was spacial; I had to convert it to a DVD myself from the PC. "Cool." I smiled, remembering how much I loved this movie when I was younger. Maka never really got it at all...
Liz loved it too, apparently.
"I think my eyes are burning, time to go to sleep." Liz stretched at the end of the movie. I reached over, kissing her eyelids to cool them down. At this point of the evening I forgot all about Maka, which was refreshing. Liz giggled and walked tiredly into my room. "Can I sleep here with you? I'd fell weird if I'll stay in Maka's room." I nodded in excitement, closing the door.
We kissed, laying on the bed in the complete darkness. She threw the blanket on both of us. "Hey Liz," I parted for a moment. She looked at me, confused. "Let's make music together*" I grinned, teasing her. "Idiot, come back here." She laughed and pulled me on top of her. "How did you know," She paused, throwing her hand into my hair, "that I like that line so much? You practically turned me on." We made out for a couple of minutes before she started taking off my shirt. "No, Liz, stop. This isn't right. Nobody should do this at first date." I pulled away and rolled on to my side. Liz twisted her nose. "It's okay, in the future, maybe..?" I calmed her down with a kiss to the cheek.
I missed having someone with me in the morning.
*A line out of the movie "All dogs go to heaven". If you haven't watched it, go watch it right now. It's pretty awesome, and really matches Soul character wise. I would love to read a crossover of those!
Don't get mad at soul, he's just a little confused by his feelings towards Liz.
