This is so weird...Soul has never done something like this before.
He's been gone for a while now and I'm actually worried about him. What am I saying? He's fine and can take care of himself. He should be fine.
But why do I get the feeling that something is going to happen that I don't want to happen? This nervous feeling.
I should just shake it off and get back to what I was doing. I need to focus on the mission that Lord Death has given us. He says that he has already informed Soul so he should be home soon so that we could leave as soon as possible to get it done. But knowing Soul, it would be much later before he comes home. I wonder where he is.
Because...I kinda miss that jerk right about now.
"So are you going to tell me?"
"Tell you what?"
"Don't act stupid. You know what I'm talking about."
Soul was siting at a diner that was not far from the park that he was in for the walk that he went on. He was trying to think of things on his own but soon figured that was not going to work for him. If he was going to figure out what was biting at Maka, he was going to have to go to someone that knew a little more about her than he did. Someone that she truly told everything to and not almost everything like she did with Soul.
Tsubaki.
She didn't want to be there because she felt that he was going to eventually talk his way into her saying one thing and he would have figured everything out. She didn't want to stab Maka in the back after she has been such a good friend to her. Se was going to try her best to get out of this, even if she had to lie her way around it and not let Soul know how Maka feels about him.
"I don't. All you said was you needed to talk about Maka. What about her?"
"What the hell is up with her? I know that she can be mad about things, but now she is seriously being uncool about things. Not only that, but when I told her that I didn't mind if she dated Kidd, she got so pissed at me that she was silent. She didn't have to say it but I knew that she was. Did...did I do something to keep her so distant from me?" his voice was soft and sounded so apologetic.
Tsubaki knew that he was worried about her and that he would do anything to help her, but she was not going to risk what they had just to tell her that she was upset about he told her, because she was in love with him. She was thinking of so many things that she could have said that would make him think that it was true. But she had to think of something quick or he would know that she was lying to him.
"She been...stressed out lately is all."
"From what?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"You never know with Maka sometimes. But she does whatever she can to keep busy." she said taking a sip of her tea.
"What does that have to do with me telling her to date Kidd?" he exclaimed. But Tsubaki kept her cool.
"How many people have told her that she needs to start thinking about getting married and starting a family? She's been hearing it for years, and you really think she wants to hear it from her partner now too? Did you think about that?"
Soul slowly shook his head as he lowered it. Now that he thought about it, she was being pressured to get married and start a family. To him, she was still pretty young and still could go a while without getting married. But to people like her father, she was close to being an old maid. Even though she wasn't, to others, she was.
"I guess I didn't think about that. That wasn't cool of me at all. I need to apologize to her as soon as possible..." he put his head on the table and looked really upset about it. Tsubaki now was going to go into a panic because she didn't want to make him feel guilty or anything.
"Umm...I'm sure that she's going to get over it! She exclaimed nervously while waving her hands in front of her." Maka is a strong young woman, just don't worry about it."
"You know I can't do that." he said while raising his head from the table. " I worry about her and care too much to let it go. I want to be her everything. Her rock, the one that she needs when she can't go to anyone else, the one that she can be herself around. Everything. "
Tsubaki felt her face form in a smile. This is what she wanted to hear. This is what Maka should hear right now. She would have been so happy to know how he feels about her. She used this chance to see how Soul feels about her before she got too excited and would it without giving away how Maka feels about him.
"Soul, can I ask you something?"
"Yeah."
"Would you be completely honest with me and not lie or anything?"
"Yes. Completely."
"How do you feel about Maka?"
He looked at her and gave her a side smile while folding his arms on the table.
"Why do I get the feeling that you have been wanting to ask me that since we got here?" he smirked.
"Why do I get the feeling that you are going to try and avoid me and not answer the question? Be honest. Just you and me. I won't tell Blackstar either. I promise."
Soul let out a long drag of a sigh and sat back. He ran his hand through his hair and licked his lips. Tsubaki was hoping that while he as stalling, he was going to give her the answer that she was wanting to hear. She wanted him to have the same feelings that Maka has for him. Sh wanted to see her happy and not have to worry about how this guy felt about her.
"Honestly I-" his phone started ringing cutting him off. He didn't have to look at his phone to know that it was Maka that was calling him. He just was her. He pulled it out of his pocket and smiled at the fact that he was right. He stood up and looked at Tsubaki and smirked and said "Guess you won't know now." before answering the phone and leaving her there to wondering what he was going to say.
A/N: Awww...what was he going to say?!
So I decided that Tsubaki was going to be a huge part of this story and maybe more of Blackstar too. If anyone was going to pour their feelings out to someone that they trust, it would be her. She seems to be the character that everyone trust and she knows how to keep a secret and help her friends out as well.
I think that eventually Kidd is going to be a big part of the story but not til much later in the story and eventually, Soul might pour out his feelings about how he feels about Maka...or she just might take her chances with Kidd...who knows?
Well, that's all I have for now! Hope that you enjoyed this chapter! Until next time readers!
