Understand Me

Chapter 14: I Understand

Soul's POV:

Maka and I both woke up gasping for air. Once I could finally catch my breath, she immediately pulled me in a tight embrace.

"I'm so sorry for making you go through this, but thank you so much for saving me!" She said as her happy tears stained my shoulder.

"It's okay Maka, I would never leave you alone." I said rubbing her back. Maka pulled me away from the embrace and looked into my eyes. She pulled me towards her and our lips met. I was stunned, she loved me back! I smiled and kissed her back. After a while we let go. She smiled and then hugged me.

"I can't believe you love me back!" I said , I pull her back into an embrace smiling widely. I squeeze her tight but she winces in pain. I pull her out of the embrace as my happiness collapses onto the ground.

"All that happened is my fault. I should have been able to protect you and you payed the price." She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms still in a bit of pain.

"Soul, can you please stop blaming yourself for these things." She said acting stiff yet sincere. "To be frank, it's sort of our fault, we both make our mistakes and end up thinking that it's all just one of us but we are both to blame for this." She explained. I nodded and then she gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"From now on lets focus on our strengths. We both know how crazy it can get if we focus more on our weak points." Maka said smiling. I nod in return and look back at her injures still in pain. She leaned her head to the side in confusion.

"I'm just.... I'm so sorry!" I yelled. "I can't bear to see you like this. While you were in a coma I felt so alone and depressed. I thought I lost you for good. Sometimes I couldn't even walk straight. I felt like I was nothing without you." I explain looking into her beautiful forest eyes. She puts her finger on my chest tracing my scar. She looks up at me with a sad smile grasping onto my feelings.

"That's exactly how I felt when you know... That happened. I felt like nothing as well even though Stein told me everything was gonna be alright I still thought there was no hope. I was so alone and all I could do is blame myself for what happened and I still blame myself now.... I know how you feel Soul." She replies.

"I guess we understand each other more then I thought." I said giving a slight chuckle.

"Yeah you're right!" Maka said happiness overwhelming her. "I thought I didn't know you very well but I do. I know your emotions, how you react to things and how to help you with problems. This whole time I was planning on getting to understand you but I already understand you." My eyes widened with shock.

"You were planning on getting to know me better?!" I asked raising my voice.
"I was planning on doing the exact same thing!" I said. I gave off a cool smile to cover up the fact that I was still kind of shocked. "I bet I already know who you are on the same level as you, but I want to know more and I bet you do too." Maka chuckled and put her hand on mine.

"Then let's begin!"
