"I don't understand, he promised to love Mama forever and then he went out and cheated again and again. Mama gave him so many chances to stop. It really hurt Soul, we'd still be a family if he just quit." Maka leaned into Soul, allowing him to wrap his arms around her.
"Some guys are blinded by their own stupidity Maka. We aren't all that way, some of us, even if we have moments of stupidity, we can appreciate what we have. What he did to you guys is way past uncool." The young miester could hardly believe she had told him about these feelings, she hadn't told anyone how hurt she felt.
Maka had come to think of Soul as the only one she could tell everything to. He proved time and again to there no matter what was hurting her. He truly understood her and she was grateful, yet she couldn't help but worry that one day, her Soul would leave her. Though to the outside world she appeared to be sure of herself, behind closed doors, she was more insecure than she would ever admit.
"Hey Soul?"
"Yeah?"
"If you ever found another miester that you could work with would you leave me?"
"Maka, let's be real here" Maka braced herself for the answer.
"No one can handle me like you do. We're a great team. Just because your dad messed up, doesn't mean I will. I'm a completely different person. Would I ever let anything hurt you?"
"No. I know that, but I still-"
"That includes me. I won't hurt you like that Maka. Yeah we're pretty new to this relationship thing, and I can't promise things won't go wrong at some point, we'll argue sometimes, everyone does. But if It's not working I'll tell you and we'll go from there. You won't ever need to worry that I'm somewhere other than where I tell you. I hate what your dad did to you and your mom. I promise I'll never do that. I'll even make you a deal. If I do that, you can Maka chop me as hard as you want everyday for the rest of my life."
Maka chuckled.
"You're the best Soul. I don't know what I'd do without you."
"Have a really uncool, boring life most likely."
"I mean it."
"I'm not going to let you find out, is that better?"
"Yeah,you really know how to make me feel better."
"I wouldn't be a very good weapon if I couldn't be there for my miester could I?" He gave her an encouraging grin.
"You're amazing Soul, I-I love you."
"I love you too, and if I'm as amazing as you think I am, It's only because you showed me how to be that way." Soul kissed her softly. Maka rested her head on Soul's chest.
The steady rhythm of his heart relaxed her. She sighed now content in his never thought she could love someone so much, she opened up to him so easily and completely, she knew he could never hurt her. He would never let her down. Her heart would be safe with him, and she was more than willing to give it.
