The Proposal

~~~~~Soul Evans~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My hands were shaking and my knee was bouncing uncontrollably off the edge of my bed. I stared at the little black box in front of me.

Why am I so nervous?

"Soul! Kid's calling you. He said something about a mission." Maka's voice called from behind my bedroom door.

We finally moved out of that tiny apartment we lived in when we were kids and upgraded to a nice penthouse in Death City. We can afford it since Maka turned me into a Death Scythe and she is now a 3 star meister. I've always hated her going on missions without me; if something goes wrong, I'm not there to protect her.

Now, I was going to ask the question. We are super close, probably closer than any other weapon-meister pair. Yet, I want to get closer and to call her mine, forever.

A small knock sounded at the door, "Soul are you ok?" She asked worriedly.

I smiled at her concern before slipping the box in my pocket, "yes Maka I'm fine."

I opened the door and pulled her into a hug before planting a small kiss on the top of her head.

"So shorty, can you meet me at the top of the DWMA later tonight?"

"Soul~," she whined, "just because you're basically a six-foot tall giant doesn't mean you can call me 'shorty'."

I chuckled and ruffled her hair a bit before leaving. I slung my leg over my motorcycle and revved the engine.

"Soul wait!" Maka's voice called.

She ran to me and engulfed me in an embrace, "come back soon, ok? And be safe."

I wrapped my arms around her, "I promise I will."

She nodded as we pulled apart. I sped off to meet Kid for our mission.

-------------------------------------------------------
We finished the mission early. It could barely be classified as a mission. All we did was talk about the symmetry of the city. I know Kid is 'Lord Death' now, but that was just ridiculous.

I quickly climbed the steps to the top tower and spread a blanket on the ground. I trew down some pillows and a fluffy white comforter. I pulled a sheet to act as a canopy over the snuggle area. The stupid, laughing sun was beginning to set and I heard a footsteps echoing from behind me. My heart began to race.

Maka emerged from the stairwell and looked surprised at the set-up.

"Hey babe! Happy anniversary!" I shouted.

Her eyes softened, "you remembered."

"Of course I remember! How could I forget the first time we met? You were the cutest meister in the school and I knew that we would be partners; and look who turned me into a Death Scythe?!"

"I did." She giggled.

"That's right!"

She smiled and snuggled into my arms on our make-shift fort. The sky was beginning to turn a mixture of purples and blues; pinks and oranges. I pulled her to her feet as she looked at me playfully. Standing on her tip-toes, she gave me a small peck on the lips before smiling. A tiny blush tinted her cheeks.

I interlaced our fingers together and stared into her beautiful, forest-green eyes.

"Maka Albarn, you are the most remarkable person I've ever met. It's been an honor and a privilege to get to know you for more than half my life! We've been through everything together and you somehow managed to take an insane, albino, octopus-head like me, " she laughed slightly before I smiled and continued, "and turn him into a Death Scythe. You made my dreams come true Maka. Now, I hope that I can do the same for you in the future.

It hurts me so much to see you go on missions without me; where I can't protect you and make sure you're ok. I always want to be there for you which is why I'm asking," I keep one of her hands grasped in mine before getting down on one knee. I pulled the small box from inside of my pocket. She pulled her hand to her gaping mouth as her eyes began to sparkle from surfacing tears.

"Maka Albarn, will you marry me?"

She stood there, shocked as a tear ran down her cheek.

"Oh Soul! Yes! Yes of course!!"

I scooped her up in my arms and twirled her around before slipping the small band onto her finger. I wiped a stray tear away from her face with my thumb before pressing her lips to mine.

She said 'yes'!
