Piano Retreat (Soul Eater Oneshot)

Piano Retreat

AN: As the description says, this is a little one-shot for a friend. Just some cute feels based off of a headcanon I found on tumblr.

There is, however, a reference to another TV show in here! Can you find it?

Thank you for reading! If you enjoyed, it would be really be appreciated if you left a comment!

Soul was tired. Soul was so tired he was staring blankly at the TV as it illuminated the room. He wasn't even paying attention to his sore eyelids as the young woman on the show tried on yet another dress. Hadn't the sister said multiple times she looked better with straps?

The scythe then blinked his stiff eyes. That reminded him of something Kid would say.

Kid. Speaking of, where the heck was he? He said if anything went right, he, Liz and Patty would be home by 7:00. It was pushing 10:30, and he hadn't heard a thing from any of the three. He had called Maka, Blackstar, Chrona and Lord Death, who said they'd all keep a look out.

Tsubaki had already gone up to bed. She was worn out from her mission with Blackstar earlier that day and helping Soul cook, so he told her he'd wake her up when her fiancee returned.

But Soul was worried. Kid just doesn't be three and a half hours late, not with his love of punctuality.

But he was mostly angry.

Angry because he was promised that his friends would be home; angry that he and Tsubaki had cooked all this food without anyone else to eat it; angry that he'd been waiting without word.

But the worry and the tired kept him from being too angry.

Soul's red eyes were fighting to stay open. He was so tired, he had done so much today....But Kid, Patty and Liz....

He decided to just rest his eyes for a second. He'd let them win and close them for a moment before finding a new, more interesting show to watch...

It had only been a minute before Soul felt someone stroking the side of his cheek.

"Soul."

He jolted, and opened his eyes wide. Liz was crouched on the floor in front of the padded chair he had been sleeping in.

"Hey, babe. We're back!" She said, rubbing his forearm.

Soul stood up, and planted a kiss on the taller gun's forehead before accepting a hug from the shorter one. He then turned to Kid.

"What happened? Why are you so late?"

Kid blinked, surprised at the harsh tone Soul had used. It wasn't very common for him to get this way.

"We had a hard time finding the Kishin Egg. We walked around the California Institute of Science campus for two or three hours, but never saw it. Turns out a meister-weapon pair had taken it out, but offered us the egg anyway. They introduced us to their children and some friends so we all went and had dinner."

Soul looked down at the meister, suddenly glad of how short he was compared to himself.

"Don't you think you should've called me and let me know you were alright?" he asked, voice raising with every word.

"I texted you."

Liz leaned back from the bottom of the stairs.

"I texted you around five-ish." She said again.

The scythe motioned towards the house phone.

"My cell phone died and has been on the charger. You should've called me on the house phone."
