What the hell was up with Maka? And why is she acting so weird? Maybe it was something I said or did. But that wouldn't make any since at all. Whenever I do something she usually just shakes it off and moves on and finds something else to mope about. But this seems different. She was only acting weird when she was around me but around everyone else, even her cray dad, she was the same. Normal and just being Maka.
Maybe it was some kind of stress that was getting to her, but why would she let something that I know that she was strong enough to handle bother her.
Dammit...
I feel almost useless to her right now. I know that I'm her partner and all, but, I don't even know how to help her get over whatever is bothering her at the moment. Maybe she has a think for some guy?
That's it!
She's been spending tons of time with Kidd lately and since the two of them have been close friends for so long it only makes since that she would have some kind of feelings for him. But I wonder if she was thinking of a lot of ways to tell him. That would explain why she is so deep in thought only around me. She hates to show any weakness around people. That's my Maka for ya. Maybe, just maybe, I could help the to of them out. Give her the push that she needs to tell him how she feels. I mean, he's always loved how 'symmetrical' she was from the way she dressed to her very personality. Whatever that means.
Yeah that would work. After all. what kind of friend would I be if I did't help her out with this? How hard would it be to put to nerds together anyways?
" I wish for one day that Blackstar was not a complete nuance." Maka mumbled under her breath as she was sitting on the couch next to Tsubaki. She and Blackstar were at Soul and Maka's place just to hang out. Soul and Blackstar were sitting on the floor intensely playing a video game as if they were 10. Soul was being focused and trying to beat Blackstar and Blackstar was Blackstar. Ever since he finally got a deeper voice, he has tried his best to make it boom as loud as possible so that everyone could hear him and his 'awesomeness'. He was now the same height as Soul and the two of them, along with Kidd, were towering over Maka and Tsubaki and made Maka the shortest in the group.
Even though Blackstar has become an amazing ninja and Meister, he was still the most annoying thing ever to the people that were both his friends and the people that can hear his booming voice from miles away.
"Oh he's not that bad. He can be really sweet at times." Tsubaki smiled.
"Yeah but your his girlfriend, of course when it is just the two of you he is a different Blackstar that we see." Maka pointed out. "Pu my favorite moment with Blackstar is when he lost his voice for almost two weeks...but now I hate it tons more than i use to."
"YES! FINALLY! I AM VICTORIOUS! EAT IT SOUL!YOU HAVE BEEN DEFEATED BY THE GREAT BLACKSTAR" Blackstar's voice cried out as he jumped around showing off his victory. Soul just face-palmed in hopes that he would shut up but that didn't work out. Instead, he just restarted the game and began to attack Blackstar while he was not playing attention Eventually, he noticed and began to play again. But that didn't keep him quiet for long.
"Maka...can I tell you something? But you have to promise to not tell anyone."Tsubaki said in almost a whisper.
"Of course is it?"
"Come with me." They both stood up and walked into Maka's room. She closed the door behind her and she leaned on the door with her hands crossed over her chest and Tsubaki sat on her bad.
"So what is it?"
Tsubaki said nothing but then crack a huge smile throwing Maka completely off. She was confused until Tsubaki held out her hand to revel the ring that was on her left hand. Maka wanted to scream in excitement for her best friend but she covered her mouth in amazement instead.
"He asked me this morning. Of course I said yes."
Maka hugged Tsubaki being prod that she was going to marry the guy that she loved. Honestly, Tsubaki might be the only person that was able to handle Blackstar and his attitude. There was no way that anyone else would be able to handle him.
"Congratulations. I'm happy for you."
"Now there is something that needs to happen." Tsubaki said while Maka pulled away from her.
"And what would that be?"
"You telling Soul that you love him."
Maka was quiet. Her gaze feel to the floor and she suddenly felt her heart sinking. Tsubaki was the only one that knew how she felt about Soul. She also has been trying to encourage her to tell him, but in Maka's mind, nothing was going to happen. She knew how everything was going to play out. She would tell Soul, he would be surprised, things would be weird between the two of them for a while, then she would be the one to say "forget it and move on". Either way she looked at it, she was going to be heart-broken either way. She was going to spare herself of the second option and keep her feelings to herself for now.
"Tsubaki...that's not going to happen..." she said softly.
"Why not? You love him."
"It's one-sided. That's a good enough reason there."
"How do you know? Have you talked to him about it?"
"Of course not! You are the only person that knows how I feel about Soul...and I know that he just sees me as his best friend...I can feel it."
"I'm sure that he feels the same about you. You don't seem like you love him either if you look at it from an outside point of view. If anything, he might think that you have a thing for Kidd."
"Kidd?" Maka was slightly surprised by this.
"Think about it, the two of you hug like long lost friends every time you see each other and you just seem like you enjoy every once of his company when your with him. If I didn't know the two of you like I did, I would think that he was your boyfriend." she mused.
"He and I just are comfortable that way. Soul says that he hates hugs and Kidd loves them. Besides, I do enjoy his company a lot because he and I can talk about thinks that I can't talk about with Soul."
"Then why aren't you in love with him?"
"Because...he's like a male version of me...and I never thought about Kidd that way. Ever."
"So what is it that you love about Soul?"
"He's absolutely nothing like me. And I love it so much it drives me wild. He's a good balance of everything I love and hate. But in the end, I love everything about him."
"Congrats bro."
"I was scared to shit. I didn't know how she was going to react but she said yes."
"Well, wish the two of you the best of luck, she's going to need it." Soul laughed. Blackstar gave him a playful punch that had some to little force behind it.
Blackstar told him the good news and now it was his turn to get him to do something that he has been wanting to happen for a long time. Soul being with Maka.
"So, you gonna get with Maka or what?" he asked bluntly.
"Not this crap again." Soul huffed.
"Dude the two of you are made for each other. Just go for it."
"I'm not what she needs. And she and I are only friends. She's my best friend and best friends don't get together."
"What are you saying? Because you are making no since right now."
"She has a thing for Kidd." Soul said with no emotion behind in. Blackstar's mouth dropped and his eyes should have just feel out of his head.
"W-What?! How do you know?"
"Have you seen the way that those two are around each other? It's obvious."
"I guess." Blackstar sighed. "But what do you think about it, Soul?"
"Nothing at all." Soul said again with no feel behind it at all.
Blackstar could always tell when he was lying to him. There was a certain way that he acts when he was lying or hiding something, but right now, he knew that Soul was being honest, but he also felt that he was hiding something, he couldn't properly read him right now at this moment. He hated it because he believed that he and Maka should be together more than anything.
"You're pathetic." Blackstar spat.
"And you're an idiot but I still deal with you."
Hope you enjoyed the chapter! I was wanting to introduce Blackstar and Tsubaki first and I'm not sure yet when I want to introduce others. But, hope that you enjoy the story so far! See ya next chapter ;)
