Connected || Soul x Maka

move

After Black Star and Oden left, Maka put her memory box away and Soul began to clean the dishes. He dissociated as he did the task of other childhood memories before the death of his family, he couldn't seem to think of any good memories besides his father beating him when he did not perform well while his older brother watched with the same emotionless expression.

He never had a close relationship with him but he wondered if it would have been different if he saw him how he is now. Soul tried to push the thoughts away and thought how much his life changed after becoming a weapon. He met a great miester, became friends with great people who he knew he could count on, he likes his job of teaching others.

He didn't think what he would do once he becomes a death scythe, maybe stay by lord deaths side. Take Maka with him to another country and station there fighting evil souls, or maybe... just maybe, play the piano once more. He had not touched piano keys in years.

He played for Maka once only in the hopes of driving her away with a very depressing song that he purposely tried to make it sound bad. On the contrary he ended up making her like him, Soul felt a nudge on his arm. He looked over and saw Maka smiling softly

"Are you alright Soul?" Maka asked in a worried tone, Soul wanted to say he was fine. He was but couldn't seem to be able to say it out loud. He cleaned his hands and pulled Maka into a kiss

It was a pain reliever to his heart, kissing her, hugging her, talking to her. Her. Just her existing was enough for him to leave his past behind and never bring it up again, he was different from how he was a child and was definitely not in the same position he was as a teenager. He was happily moving on from his past

"I'm fine" Soul smiled he pulled her into a hug "Thank you"

Maka hugged him she felt a sudden realization. She didn't know he was Japanese, but realized the full moon, the thank you's. They were all forms to say I love you.. and the technique.

The technique Maka thought it's all love, our technique is love... but should I even say it? Would it ruin everything if I took it out of proportion? Fuck my life honestly, if this was all a miss understanding I am literally jumping off the roof

"Are you tired?" Soul said As he pulled back and looked at her puzzled facial expression

"um yea, I think I am getting tired" Maka turned around and headed for her bedroom, Soul was confused to her actions, he went inside his room to change into comfortable clothes and went to Makas room

Maka laid down and turned to her side as her back faced Soul, She didn't want to talk to Soul about it. She was too scared to say it

We aren't even dating yet, do people say I love you before they even date? I guess those who fall in love at first sight, but this isn't love at first sight!

"Do you mind if I sleep here tonight?" Soul whispered disrupting Maka's thoughts

"Yea you can sleep with me" Maka said Soul laid down next to Maka and put the thin blanket over his body

Good night Soul said

Good night Maka responded

I'll just think it over for a while I guess she said to herself

Did I do something wrong? Soul thought

Maka woke up in a cold sweat and panting

What happened? Did I have a nightmare? I don't remember anything

"I'm here" Soul said as he sat up comforting his partner "it's okay you're home" Soul reassured her he turned on the lamp on Maka's night stand

She looked at her clock it was three thirty AM
