"Italy?" You remark, raising a brow. "That's an awfully long way to go for a mission."

Soul rolls his eyes with a huff. "Yeah, tell me about it." He throws himself onto his bed with an 'oomph' before rolling onto his back to look at you. "But there's still an opportunity to tour the city. Might as well if we're already gonna be there."

You hum, throwing yourself onto his bed so you can sit besides him. "I think you forgot the whole point of this mission is to collect souls, dummy." You flick his forehead, causing him to cry out in pain. "Gotta focus on the task ahead."

Rubbing his forehead, Soul frowns. "You sound like Maka when you talk like that."

Raising your hands in surrender, you grin widely. "Hey, I'm just trying to look out for my boyfriend, okay? Is that a crime?"

You and Soul had been dating for about a year now. You'd met at the academy and were both in the EAT class - you as a meister and Soul as a weapon. At first, you had tried to work together as a weapon/meister duo. Unfortunately, it hadn't worked out. It'd been a bit of a bummer at first, but neither of you had been really upset about. Besides, Soul was flourishing with Maka as a partner... of course, they were doing well until they'd messed up fighting a witch. Well, more of a neko, really. Now, they had to start all the way back over at one.

Soul stretches, popping his joints with a yawn. "Come on, (y/n), you worry too much. Just let me have my fun, alright?"

With a sigh, you ruffle his hair affectionately. "Alright, alright... You better bring me back something, okay? I want a souvenir."

"You've got a deal."

It's pretty boring without Soul around. Throughout the day, you caught yourself turning your head to talk to him only to remember he wasn't there. It was kind of lonely without him.

You sigh, gathering your things and beginning a walk back to your place. School had been dreadfully boring with Soul, and it was weird to have not heard him bickering with Maka or shouting at Black Star. There was this awkward gap of silence that perhaps only you noticed.

'Soul will be back soon,' you remind yourself as you head down the hallway of the DWMA. 'Then, we can spend as much time together as we want.'

"(y/n)!" Your thoughts are interrupted by the sound of someone calling your name. You look up to find Tsubaki heading in your direction with Black Star trailing behind her.

"Oh, what's up, guys?" You greet, flashing them a bright smile. "I was just about to head home. Did you want something?"

"Maka and Soul are back," Black Star explains.
