Maka's POV  

"Thank god he left, I didn't think I could keep it in any longer! Maka's breasts are so symmetrical, but that cut ruins it all!" I heard Kid say. I felt like I was blushing. I made a disgusting face. No one could see it though. I was unconscious. But why? I've been unconscious plenty of times. It's like your awake inside, but you aren't to the world. Then I heard a bang, and someone being dragged.  

"You can come back in when you get over your damn symmetrical obsession of Maka's chest." I heard Soul say. Then the door slammed shut. I smiled. He's so thoughtful, sweet, protective... 

Then I heard his feet dragging against the ground, and he sat down next to me. I felt his fingers entwine with mine. I felt my heart beat faster. He took a deep breath.  

"Maka... Please don't leave me..." I heard him choked out.  

"I... I need you, Maka..." My heart started racing. Come on body, wake up! I just want to give him a huge hug. Or... More... 

I felt a tear drop and fall on my hand. He's crying? He's never cried...  I tried to control my hand. I wanted him to at least know I was alive and safe. I clenched my fists at hard as I could. I felt my fingers move, and hold Soul's hand. I heard him make a sudden move.  

"Maka..?" He whispered. My eyes fluttered open. I looked at Soul. He looked into my eyes for a second, then he hugged me tightly.  

"S- Soul..." I whispered. I smiled, tears flowing down the side of my face. I felt drops fall on my back. I sat up, still hugging him. Our hug was so tight, it held up the sheet covering me. Then it seemed to get tighter, and pain shot through my chest. I screamed in pain and yanked myself out of his grip. His eyes widened, and he looked at me, surprisingly. I held my hands on the sheet, against my chest.  

"I- I'm sorry..." Soul stuttered. I lifted the sheet up, and looked what was causing me pain. I saw a long cut. I gasped, touching it lightly. 

"What... happened?" I asked. Soul sighed, and he explained everything to me.  

"W-Wow..." I whispered. He nodded. I sat up and I pulled the sheet around my back, and covered myself up with it like a towel. I looked down. Soul got off the chair next to the bed he was sitting on, and sat in front of me in the bed, still holding my hand. I looked around the room.  

"Where's my shirt..?" I asked. He turned around and grabbed my shirts, hanging on the end of the bed. Then my bra fell out of the shirts, and fell to the floor. Soul watched it fall to the ground and then he looked back at me. I felt my cheeks get hot.  

"Are you kidding me.." I groaned. "Sorry!" Soul said. I sighed. "Don't be, it's fine." We let go of each others hands, and I grabbed my shirts. I kept the sheet wrapped around me, and got out of the bed. I grabbed my bra and walked into a bathroom. I dropped the sheet. I looked at myself in the mirror. Then a flashback came to me. When Soul was cut by Crona... It looks almost exactly like it. Stitched up and everything. I felt another tear roll down my face. Now I have something to remind me of that, and I have to see it everyday... I sighed shakily, and put on my clothes. I grabbed the sheet and walked out. Soul was standing by the bed, his hands shoved in his pockets. "Ready?" He asked. I nodded, and threw the sheet on the bed. We left the room, and walked downstairs. Kid and Dr. Stein were sitting at a table, talking. We stayed at the end of the stairs.  

"Yeah... I like her, but... I don't know what I should do." I heard Kid say. Dr. Stein shrugged his shoulders. "It seems Soul and her like each other. So, I don't know. But you shouldn't ask me. I don't know about romance or whatever." He said. Kid... likes me? I looked back at Soul, surprisingly. He was blushing. I most likely was too. Soul grabbed my hand and we walked up to them. When we got to them, he dropped my hand.
