I do not own any of the characters in this story.

Hey everyone its freetobefree136 (obviously). Sorry I haven't posted a continuation of the story in a few years but life gets

crazy sometimes and you just get busy. I'm back now and plan to finish off this story right. Enjoy!

Maka (POV)

The 30 minute walk to Souls and my apartment was the most nerve wracking of my entire life. Need I remind you I took down Asura and it did not feel anything like this.I could feel my hand shaking as it kept its light grip on his arm. If he felt my shaking he showed no signs of it, for which I was considerably grateful for. I've been trained to bend my soulto be able to resonate with others but when Kids around it seems I'm unable to control the simplest of things. The closer we get to my apartment the higher my anxiety rose.

I don't know if I can do this!

Kid (POV)

I feel like I should say something. We have been walking for about 20 minutes in silence and I can tell Maka is nervous.

Her hands are shaking and her chest is rising in quick repetition telling me her hearts racing. Truthfully I am as nervous as she is.

I have never been out with a girl before. I haven't actually spent time alone with any girl other than Liz and Patty and since they are

my weapons they don't count. I will never admit this too them but they are more like family so being out with them is nothing to brag

about to your friends, not that I have all that many.

Maka's different than anyone that I have ever met. She is understanding about my condition where others would scoff and think I'm a freak.

I can not help the way I am and Maka understands that which is one of the reasons why I adore her. I have had feelings for Maka since the first time I

saw her battling with Stine. I could see this strong powerful girl who cared deeply for her friends enough so to put her own life on the line. I thought then

and there that she was the most amazing woman I had ever seen and wished that I would someday be able to get the chance to get to know her.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be able to get the chance to go on a date with her. Which is why I can not mess this up!

We have just arrived at the small set of stairs that leads up to her apartment complex. Maka moves to unlock the door but I stop her by tugging

lightly on her arm, pulling her to sit with me on the stairs.

I look down and notice Maka's confused expression and what looks to be fear hidden in her eyes.

No ones POV

"Maka I was hoping we could talk before heading inside." Kid says without breaking eye contact and grasping ahold

of both her hands that were sitting folded in her lap.

"Sure Kid, what about?"

"I wanted to say that just because you let me in your apartment and I sent Soul to spend the night with Patty doesn't mean

I have any expectations beyond us getting the opportunity to get to know one another. I know I have stolen a few kisses from you

but I want you to know I will be a perfect gentleman if that is what you so desire. I like you a lot Maka, I have for a very long time now.

That night that we kissed in the ally was one of the best moments of my life. Yes you beat me over the head but in that kiss

I felt sparks go off in my mind. I...I felt like what we were doing was...right." As Kid was finishing his speech he found it incredibly hard

to look Maka in the eyes and took to focusing on a small crack in the stairs.

Maka felt that every single reservation she had about being with Kid being wiped away by his heartfelt speech. No one has ever

said anything so sweet to her in her entire life. She knew then and there she couldn't let this opportunity with Kid go to waste especially

now that she knew Liz was after him but Maka felt like she has just gotten a glimpse at a Kid that no one has ever seen.

Kid is usually cocky and arrogant but right now she can tell he has put a side his façade and his being sincere.

Maka releases Kids hands from hers and stands up catching his slightly scarred expression.

"Would you like to come inside, Kid?" With the sweetest smile she could muster she extends a hand out to Kid which

he accepts with a smile so adorable and boyish it makes Maka's heart skip a beat.

They proceed to walk inside hand in hand where Maka then leads Kid into her bedroom.

Wonder what's gonna happen next? You will have to wait and see till the next chapter which btw is why the story is rated M.

Please leave comments and I will be posting again very shortly. Night for now!
