Italics - Means the person is thinking just so you know.

By the way the gang are all around the ages of 18-19 now.

...

"Where were you?" Soul asked Maka as she had just come back to the apartment, and saw Soul standing in the lounge. His arms were folded across his chest, as he raised an eyebrow at his Meister.

"Umm…I just went to see Kid for a bit," Maka answered nervously.

"Did you see Liz and Patty while you were there?"

"Err yeah, why?"

"No reason really, I was just wondering," Soul sighed slightly as he seemed uninterested now.

"Liz said that it was your fault that the camp got cut short," Maka stated as she now seemed slightly annoyed at her weapon.

"The teacher guy was so un-cool, he couldn't even take a simple joke, and besides it wasn't my idea to push him into the lake," Soul explained in his defence.

"You're still the one that pushed him into it," Maka pointed out as she folded her arms across her chest.

"Yeah well…it was just a joke," Soul trailed off, mumbling slightly as he turned away from his Meister.

Maka sighed slightly as she unfolded her arms, and dropped the subject of what Soul had done at the camp.

"Hey, by the way, Tsubaki wants to talk to you about something," Soul said, changing the subject as he looked back to his Meister now.

"Really what is it?" Maka asked, kinda glad that Soul had changed the subject.

"Don't know, she said she wants to meet you and the twins in front of the Mansion, for some reason or other,"

"Okay, thanks for letting me know," Maka smiled slightly before she headed for the front door of the apartment.

"Sure no problem, bye," Soul said as he slumped down onto the sofa.

"Hey, you know Liz will be there, do you wanna come along?" Maka asked as she stopped and looked to Soul, noticing that her weapon seemed a little down-hearted.

Soul didn't reply at first, instead he just stared blankly at Maka, like he was thinking about how to answer her question for a minute, "No I'm alright, you go, I'll be fine on my own here," he replied as he lay down on the sofa, and folded his arms behind his head.

"Okay then, bye Soul," Maka waved to her weapon before she opened the front door.

"See ya," Soul replied, before he closed his eyes and sighed slightly.

'There's something bothering him, it would be better to keep Kid and I a secret from him for now,' Maka thought, before she left the apartment and shut the door behind her.

….

"Hey guys!" Maka called out as she saw Tsubaki and the sisters standing in front of the Mansion, while she ran over to them.

"MAKA-CHAN!" Patty excitedly ran over to Maka and hugged her tightly.

"Patty, I only saw you a few minutes ago," Maka pointed out as she slightly chuckled to the younger twin.

"I know, I missed you so, so, SO much," Patty stated as she hugged Maka tighter.

"Patty you're going to end up squeezing the life out of her," Liz stated as she and Tsubaki came walking over to Maka and Patty.

"You're right sis. I'M SO SORRY MAKA-CHAN! Please forgive me," Patty begged as she immediately let go of the Scythe Meister, and looked to her with puppy-dog eyes.

"It's fine Patty, I forgive you," Maka replied with a smile to Patty,

"YAY!" Patty cheered as she hugged Maka tightly again, while Maka just chuckled to her again slightly.

"So how did Soul take it?" Liz asked as she sighed slightly at her younger sister.

"Well I didn't really tell him," Maka answered with a nervous smile to the older twin.

"Why not,"

"Well he seemed to be bothered by something, so I didn't want to just drop that bombshell on him," Maka explained as she tried to get out of the younger twin's tight hug, but it seemed like Patty just wasn't letting go this time.

"You can't keep it a secret from him forever Maka," Liz pointed out.

"I know, but it's still early days for us,"

"EARLY DAYS?! Early days is holding hands, going on dates, and maybe a few kisses here and there, not secretly sleeping around with each other," Liz stated as she folded her arms across her chest.

Maka just chuckled nervously as she smiled to Liz again, while blushing slightly.

"Umm…what are you two talking about?" Tsubaki asked, feeling a little left out of the conversation between the other three girls.

"Umm…well…" Liz paused slightly as she and Maka only now remembered that the other girl was there, and could hear every word that they said.

"You didn't know? Maka-chan and Kiddo are dating now," Patty stated as she looked to Tsubaki, but still kept a tight hold on Maka.

"Really? Oh that's wonderful I'm so happy for you Maka," Tsubaki stated happily as she smiled to Maka.

"Thanks Tsubaki," Maka replied as she smiled back to the other girl.

"Yeah and they've already slept together," Liz pointed out.

"Really? When did that happen?" Tsubaki asked, slightly surprised.

"It was on the night of the party apparently,"

"So that's where you two disappeared to then?" Tsubaki asked.

Maka just nodded slightly as she smiled nervously to the dark-haired girl.

"And that's not the only time actually," Maka thought.

"Really when else have you and Kiddo done it?" Patty asked as the other two girls seemed a little surprised now.

'Damn it I said that out loud, didn't I? I have got to stop doing that,' Maka thought with a slight sigh, "It was earlier this morning somewhere I think, I came round to see Kid after Soul had left for the camp, and somehow we ended up in bed together again," she confessed as she looked nervously to the three girls.

"Are there any other times that we don't know about?" Liz asked, now more composed.

"No that's it, really," Maka replied with another nervous smile to the older twin.

"How come you didn't tell us?" Tsubaki asked.

"We were going to, but we just didn't know when to tell you all," Maka answered as she now looked to Tsubaki.

"Then how did Liz and Patty know?"

"We saw Maka-chan and Kiddo kissing when we came back home earlier," Patty explained.

Maka just nervously blushed as she turned away from the other three girls.

"Heya!" The four girls turned round as they heard a familiar voice. Maka smiled as she saw Kid walking towards them.

"Kid, save me please," Maka said as she was finally able to get out of Patty's tight grasp (since she was slightly distracted at the moment) and ran over to the Reaper hugging him tightly.

"Why? What's going on here?" Kid asked as he smiled down at Maka slightly.

"They all keep teasing me, make them stop," Maka begged as she looked up at Kid with fake tears in her eyes.

"You're so cute, Maka," Kid smiled as he pecked Maka on her forehead, while he didn't really take notice to what she had said to him.

"Kid," Maka groaned slightly as she blushed deeply, while Kid just smiled down at her again.

"What exactly are you all teasing her about?" Kid asked as he looked to Tsubaki and his weapons.

"We were just wondering why you two had kept your relationship a secret from us all," Tsubaki stated as she smiled to Kid slightly.

"Well that, and there's the fact that Maka hasn't told Soul about you yet Kid," Liz pointed out.

"Well let's be honest, it's not like Soul is the easiest person to tell a secret like ours to," Kid smiled nervously too his weapon, before he looked back to Maka and patted her on her head.

"Still she shouldn't keep a secret like this from her own partner," Liz stated as she folded her arms across her chest.

"That's true, he needs to know Maka," Kid looked down to Maka, and stroked her long hair.

"I know," Maka replied in a mumble as she slightly turned away from Kid.

"But he doesn't need to know just yet," Kid stated as he pecked Maka on her check.

Maka just smiled to Kid as she blushed again, and hugged the Reaper tighter, "I love you, Kid," she said as she pressed her lips to Kid's.

"I love you too, my beautiful angel," Kid replied once their lips had parted, as he cupped Maka's cheek gently.

'Soul doesn't need to know about Kid and me just yet' Maka thought, before she looked to Tsubaki.

"Oh yeah, Tsubaki why did you want to meet up with me, Liz and Patty?" Maka asked.

"Oh umm…I was just wondering if you three could help me out with a few things, that's all," Tsubaki stated nervously.

"This is about the wedding right?" Liz asked.

Tsubaki just nodded slightly, "We've decided to hold it off for another year or so," she added.

"WHAT?! Why?" Liz asked surprised, while the other three all looked to Tsubaki with wide eyes.

"Because, it just isn't the right time for us yet,"

"Okay, but why push it back a whole year?" Liz asked.

"She's right Tsubaki, don't you think that another year is a bit too long for you guys?" Maka added, with a worried look on her face.

"It's fine really," Tsubaki answered with a slight shake of her head, "Besides I think this whole marriage thing is scaring Black Star a little," she added as she smiled to the others.

"Okay, if you're sure," Maka said, not really sounding so sure herself.

Tsubaki just nodded with a smile to Maka, before Liz and Patty started to bombard the dark-haired girl with questions.

"So when did this happen?" Liz asked.

"Well…umm," Tsubaki just turned away from Liz slightly.

"Aww but I was really looking forward to helping you with the wedding," Patty pouted slightly.

"You can still do that," Tsubaki stated.

"Really?" Patty asked with hope-filled eyes.

"Yep," Tsubaki answered with a nod.

"YAY!" Patty cheered happily.

Kid chuckled slightly at the girls, while Maka looked up to him and smiled slightly, 'I know I need to tell Soul about Kid and me, but I'm just not sure how he'll take it,' Maka thought with a slight sigh, before she hugged Kid again tightly, and smiled when she felt him hug her back.
