Connected || Soul x Maka

introduction

When their friends went home and were finished up cleaning. Maka and Soul sat on the couch taking a break, they sat in silence for a while. Maka was happy that they had finally kissed, with each other's permission, it was something they both secretly craved before but too scared to do it.

"I'm going to crash in for bed, I'm really tired" Soul yawned and began to stand up

Maka hesitated for a second not sure why, it felt different asking Soul to sleep with her compared to when they were just friends. She wondered if it would feel any different or better. She reached for his hand but couldn't seem to be able to speak from how curious her thoughts made her feel

"Are you alright?"

"Um... can you sleep with me tonight?" Maka said shyly

"Of course" Soul said, they went into Makas room, they got comfortable in silence while the only noise was they shuffling of the bed covers and their clothes

Soul laid on his uninjured arm and Maka was facing him. They looked at each other for a moment not sure what to talk about but they really wanted to talk about what is next in their relationship.

"I want to date you" Maka started "I just didn't want to say yes at that moment because I wanted it to be more privet and special, and not rushed just because of our friends" Maka explained

"Yea, and I don't want to rush into it either. I like how we are now, let's just let time do it's thing okay?" Soul said

"Perfect, also I am sorry if I'm awkward as fuck some times. Im just terribly shy, I've never been on a date or dated someone. Im not really likable" Maka said covering her face

"I like you" Soul said

"Yea but.. why? I mean you've said it before I'm not that great on looks" Maka said remembering how Soul would say she is flat chested among other things that she isn't like Blair

"It was to get your dad out of my ass, but even when I did call you flat chested he got mad at me that I haven't made a move" Soul rolled his eyes

"When did you start liking me?" Maka asked

"I'm not sure, I think it was when we first met Kid. When Black Star and I tried to fight him, and he tried to use me as his weapon but we couldn't resonate at all" Soul said

"That was pretty funny, but it's not like I was doing anything. I was standing there with Tsubaki and Stein watching you fight" Maka said as she replayed the memory in her head of that day

"It was after the fight. I was on the floor and you helped me up, holding your hand wasn't like before. When I looked into your eyes suddenly my new favorite color was green, your voice made my irrational thoughts rational. And fighting with you made me stronger"

"It made you stronger?... wait" Maka turned her body and laid on her back

The pink color, the lightness of his weight, the sharpness... was the technic that we used... love?

"What is it?" Soul asked a little more worried

Shit shit shit I said too much

Is Soul... in love with me..?

"I'm trying to figure it out like how our emotions for each other made that technic back at the flower shop. The one where you became really light and sharp" Maka said turning back facing Soul

"Possibly" Soul said hoping Maka could just keep it as a mystery

"I think it's cool" Maka said "it saved us, whatever we did. But what's even more exciting is that you're finally going to be a death scythe!" Maka cheered
