Chapter 4
It had been almost a year since Soul and Maka had admitted their feelings and gained the title of couple. Maka smirked as she walked beside Soul on their walk home from yet another mission. He seemed lost in thought as they made their way to his bike. "You okay?" She asked, nudging his side.
He snapped from his thoughts and looked at her. "Yeah, just thinking about something."
"Anything you want to talk about?" She asked concerned.
Soul gave her a smirk making her raise a brow. "I don't know." He paused. "I was just thinking about what's going to go on with the academy and Kid and us." He trailed off. "I mean if Kid needs to send me off somewhere he might need you to stay as a teacher at the academy and being just partners is kind of hard to argue for you to go too."
"Is Kid talking about sending you away?" She asked, stopping and making him look at her as she looked terrified that they would be separated after everything.
"No." He shook his head and gave her a smirk. "Though it would be easier to argue anything against him and the others if we got married." He watched as it filtered into her brain and she realized what he said.
"Soul? Are you suggesting…?"
Soul gave a nod. "I know it's not some cool romantic thing but… Would you want to?" He shrugged, slightly worried that she would be upset. He looked at him a moment, fear crossing her face before a bright smile settled on her lips.
"Of course I want to, stupid." She watched as he smiled at her. "You didn't need to make it fancy or anything, that's not us." She smiled at him again before he smirked and pulled a ring from his pocket and slid it onto her finger before he pulled her into a deep loving kiss. "It's beautiful, Soul." He pressed his lips to hers once more.
"We better get home before your dad starts sending search parties." Soul joked making Maka roll her eyes but laugh softly. The two got back to his bike and made their way home to give a mission report and to announce to their friends that they would be getting married.
