Your soul is mine.

Still..the mall

Souls POV
In some way, that fall had seen to have gotten us closer as partners..no, more than partners..I had no idea what but sooner or later, I'll find out.

A blast of fresh air flew through past our bodies as we walked in the store, as our hands intertwined with each other's. Suddenly I couldn't feel the warmth of Maka's hand anymore. She dashed off to one of the clothing rackets. And finally got busy looking for clothes, knowing that she wanted to get it over with. Shopping with a girl for girl clothes is not cool. Especially if you're the only boy. Vise versa, having Maka helping me shop wasn't so embarrassing. Leaving the thought, my mind began to think about my legs. Standing made my feet hurt, especially at the mall. Luckily, there were some chairs. So I just wandered off to an adjacent seat.

Sitting slumped with hands in my pockets, I watched Maka find some clothes. She snatched a dress here and there, holding it up once in a while, debating on wether it'll look good or not. To my surprise her expression didn't seem as glum as before we entered the mall. I think we had almost forgotten that we were shopping to steal Sapphire back. But did a book worm like her actually enjoying shopping? But I was too distracted to even put more thought into it. She looked so cute shopping. Her facial expressions amused & pleased me at the same time... did I just call my Meister "cute"? To be honest she was, extremely cute. My own thoughts shocked me as I shook them off. Now realizing she was holding 5 hangers on each arm and eyeing a dress with a glare. Her nose scrunched up, her thin eye brows narrowed downwards, and her pigmented emerald eyes began to get smaller. This was my cue to help.

I felt my spine crack every inch I slowly got up, and then looked down at the butt mark I've left on the cushioned seat. When I was fully up, and smirked along the short walk towards Maka. I cupped my hand on her shoulder, still seeing she had that look on her face. Her ash blond head whooshed around. Which made her handful rackets of clothing rattle steadily. She quickly glanced up at me, too concerned with her clothing. Now facing me, I joked,
"Never seen a bookworm so focused with shopping before."
With a little bit of annoyance she replied
"Shut up Soul!" Barely, looking up to face me.
"Calm down, I came her to help you, not annoy you."
Still annoyed, she claimed with relief
"Ok good, don't joke around with me when I shop. Start looking in the sale racks"
"Woah, when did my little bookworm get serious with shopping?" I laughed.
"Just start looking already." She rolled her emeralds.

Just as she said, I got my ass to move and sluggishly picked up some sale items. I chose some that would fit Maka's style. But being the cool guy I am, I decided to play another little joke on her. Just for the hell of of it.
I scurried to the bra section and grimaced a little.. picking out the most revealing ones. I got a big cup size, with black lace, including full attire. I giggled at the thought of handing it to Maka. After I received it, I casually said, "Here's some suggestions Maka"
With a cheerful smile she said,
"Thanks Soul, I apreciate it."
She took the pile of clothing from my hand and started scanning through each one... She finally came to the bra and she just stood there. Her smiling expression changed and I couldn't help from laughing, so I bubbled my cheeks in to keep it in. Beginning to annoy her even more, I giggled "Can you even fit in them?" Yet, my laughing broke out to the point where nothing came out of my mouth. Just as I did, out of the corner of my enclosed eyes, Makas face began to redden. Not with blush, but with anger. She immensely snatched a thick book out of thin air and implanted it my head.
"M҉A҉K҉A҉ C҉H҉O҉O҉O҉P҉P҉P҉"
HOW TF DO YOU FIND A BOOK IN FOREVER 21?! With extreme levels of pain rushing through every nerve on top of my head, blood gushed out. Every inch of the upper part of my body ached. This was probably the strongest Maka chop I've been beaten with before.
"WTF MAKA?! CANT YOU TAKE A DAMN JOKE?"
Maka stood there with her thin, pale arms crossed, stilling having the clothes dangling from her arms. She did her snooty "know-it-all book worm" signature expression after every chop she's killed me with.
"You're just lucky it wasn't a malignant Maka chop."
I scoffed. She looked adorable when she was mad, I thought. Not even realizing my own thought, why was I complimenting my Meister after she practically killed me? I wasn't actually starting to get feelings for her..was I? My thoughts were interrupted by Maka's voice. She told me she was ready to try some on. Great. As if she'd forgotten that I'm still in utter pain after her deadly chop.

We rushed to the dressing room, stating that this shopping spree was almost over. After these occurring events between me and Maka, I began to forget even more why we were shopping at all. And that was to get Sapphire back. I couldn't wait to wrap my arms around her once again. With her intense, yet beautiful eyes staring into mine, and my Crimson ones staring back and hers, I physically & mentally smiled. A part of me felt that it was wrong to go back to Sapphire.. And I couldn't put my finger on it. A mumble of words came from Maka's mouth as she..hid behind the door? I couldn't tell where she was since I was drowned by my own thoughts.

Maka's POV (finally)

I had just finished trying on one of the dresses I've chosen from the clothing rackets. It was a black strapless summer dress that hung from at least to 3 inches from my knees, with only a little amount of ruffles to have the poof effect. Which perfectly fit around my thin torso. It was silky and draped down my skinny thighs which was very comfortable. The cups weren't completely flat, but it was 2 sizes up from what I've been since I've defeated the Kishin. It was sweet and simple. Just like me. Except a tiny red ribbon "lord death" skull, located in the middle between my oh-so-called breasts. Directing my hands over then bottom half of the dress, I smoothed them, getting ready to show Soul. I was to distracted by the beauty of the dress to even remember I was gonna show it to Soul. I didn't hear a peep out of his mouth since I began to change. How strange. The usual Soul would complain for me to hurry up. Maybe he was just still in pain after my Chop. I grinned at the thought, at the same time stepping out of the dressing room and saying, "Soul?" I eyed him curiously as I realized he seemed a bit dazed out. My heart began to race as I awaited his response. And a line of pink bestowed upon my pal cheeks.

Souls POV
Soul! Snap out of it! I thought to my self, now seeing that Maka was right in front of me. Setting aside my thoughts, I began to see a clearer view of Maka. My blood red eyes were greeted by something intensely pleasing. The beautiful image loomed into my eyes as I began to thank myself for leaving my day dreams. There she stood in a black silhouetted, strapless dress. Which was perfect for use of any regular day. My jaw dropped slowly as I stood there awestruck. My fangs began to show the dripping drool as I tried to regain my coolness. What a perfect dress, and Meister. We just stood there looking at each other. Some what similar to what happened when I tried on clothing. My Eyes were pleased with simplicity and beautiful essence to even give my opinion. When did I even think of the words "simplify and beautiful essence"? Breaking the silence, I finally spoke, "Maka.. You look.. Amazing. That dress is perfect for you" I stupidly had to add, "you look so amazing that you don't even have to try on the rest of the clothes" her expression changed once more as I reluctantly said, "not meaning I don't want you to, because that would be cool aswell, only if you want to, but what I meant to say was..you'd look beautiful in any clothing." STUPID STUPID STUPID. THAT WAS SO NOT COOL SOUL. I SCREWED UP. After that, my cheeks flourished with red blush, almost the same color of my eyes. Thank the lord she said with a cheerful, warm smile, "Awww Soul, thank you. That's just what I wanted to hear." Her checks met up with her eyes and her smile grew bigger by the minute. I sighed quietly with relief and gave her a smile back. My thoughts began to jumble up again as she went back in to change her clothes.

Long story short, Maka had shopped for 3 long hours and got tons of clothes. She looks amazing in them. And we all know my vocabulary doesn't go high enough to describe how beautiful she looked. I was thankful for a such a success in shopping and Maka and I walked out of the Mall, next to each other at a closer distance than we usually were. I wasn't quite sure yet but I think I did like Maka...my heart dropped as she said, " Sapphire will totally be seething with jealously now! Only part of the plan has been completed, Soul." She grinned at me. What a great Meister. Still.. I had no idea why my heart dropped when she said that. Wasn't Sapphire the one I wanted to get back anyway? I've got more thinking to do. We hopped on my motorcycle and ended the day with a peaceful afternoon.
