Chapter 3: What's going on?
Normal POV:
Right after Maka's suggestion, the two of them went into town to some shop called 'Clothes for everyone' Maka looked at Soul and asked "Seems like strange names are popular other here, don't you think?" he smirked "Yeah.. they seem pretty popular." that's when Maka blushed lightly 'Ugh, stop it Maka! Focus on this mission! Stupid Soul... looking as handsome as he is...' "Maka? Come on. We need to buy clothes." Soul, who already waited in front of the shop, broke her out of her thoughts "Ah! Yes, of course. I'm coming." she raced to him and they went into the shop. 'Didn't I see her blush a second ago? Why's that, did she see some handsome guy or what?' he growled quietly 'Great, seriously, why am I getting mad about that anyway? Well, hopefully I just imagined her blushing.' Soul then looked at some male clothes "So uncool..." he grabbed some royal blue colored shirt and black trousers, which were both made out of the same type of cloth. Or it at least looked like it. He turned a few times, looking for a changing room, when he found one, suddenly Maka appeared in front of him "Hey Soul, do I look too ugly to show anyone outside? The clothes are just terrible in this world.." he first was surprised but then examined her body from head to toe, he almost got a nosebleed from the sight before him: Maka was wearing a simple light blue dress, which ended just above her knees. It tightly fitted around her waist and chest area so you could notice, that she wasn't as flat chested as everyone thought, it was also strapless. She wore perfect matching white sandals an her feet. 'Too ugly?! You look fucking beautiful!' he tried to find words "So?" Maka impatiently asked "I-I think you look... g-good..." was all he could think of, he murmured it quietly so maybe she won't notice his dark red painted cheeks, but she could hear him anyway. "T-Thanks..." she went back into her cabin 'That was so not cool...' Soul then went into the cabin next to hers and changed into his new clothes and groaned at the sight of him 'Doesn't look as good as Maka's outfit, but I guess it will do.' he then changed into his normal clothes again and went to the shop owner together with Maka, which already had waited for him in front of the dressing room. They bought the clothes and went back to the Fairy inn. Scarron walked to them before they could head to their room. "And? Did you get some nice clothing?" he happily asked "I wouldn't say nice, but yes we did." Maka answered "that's great to hear! Go to your room now and change, it won't be awkward for a cute couple like you to dress in the same room, wouldn't it?" he laughed.
Maka's POV:
We both blushed furiously at his comment. "Wait! We aren't-!" Soul interrupted, but he was already gone 'How can he seriously think we are a couple?! We are best friends and partners, but nothing more than that! Do we... actually look like a couple...?!' We then just ditched that awkward moment and went to our room, only to sit on our bed in silence. "We... need to get changed, you know..." I shyly told him "Could you... turn around please, so I can change?" he still was red from before and simply nodded "'kay." Soul went to the window and looked out, so I could change. Sadly, I didn't remember he could see my reflection in the window. When I was wearing my dress, I turned around to him and noticed he was lying on the floor, nosebleeding like mad 'Did he see some women with big breasts outside, or what?' "SOUL YOU BAKA!" I Maka-chopped him with some random book, which came in handy.
Soul's POV:
When I woke up from the Maka-chop I was given, I noticed Maka was already gone and I was lying in the bed under the sheets 'Did Maka carry me to bed?' I sat up and found a note on top of my clothes, which laid on the chair next to me I was a bit surprised, because she could have just woken me, but I read it anyway.
'Dear Soul,
I already started to work, you should do that too.
Change into your new clothes when you wake up and come downstairs.
P.S. It wasn't me, who laid you in bed. It was Scarron.
He was worried, so. I would have just left you on the ground.
-Maka'
'Nice Maka..' I thought and looked over at my clothes. "Well, let's go to work." I got changed and went to the others down the stairs. Then I almost got the most intensive nosebleed ever. Maka was standing right there, wearing her work outfit. 'Get a hold of yourself, man! She will kill you, if you get a nosebleed now' I just now noticed, she flirting with those ugly and perverted guys! What the fuck?! I just wanted to grab Maka, kick their asses and tell them, that she was mine! 'Wait... she isn't mine! That's going to be a long night... But I can't keep calm, if she keeps flirting with those scums.' When I passed Maka I gave those guys a glare. I could see in their eyes, that they almost shit their pants. Maka then turned to me and looked at me a bit confused, but immediately begun working again. I entered the kitchen to be greeted by a boy and a girl, which Scarron already introduced us to. She was his daughter Jessica and he was some other guy who worked here. His name was Saito. Hiraga Saito.
