Soul Eater: The Next Generation

Chapter 10

Maka’s POV

I look down at the scrapbook in my lap.  There’s Soul and I getting ice cream.  There’s Tsubaki and I sitting at the pool.  There’s me graduating.  There’s me cuddling with a boy.

Flashback

I am kissing Bobby passionately.  We are in a different room then everyone else at the party.  I really like Bobby. He’s smart, gentle and sensitive.  And he’s also a great kisser.  I’m straddling his lap, kissing him, when I hear banging on the door.

“Let them find another room, babe,” Bobby says when I look towards the door.

“’mlright” And we go back to kissing.  But the banging continues.

“This room is occupied,” I yell out and then go back to business.  That’s when the door flies open.  Standing there is a very pissed off Soul.  He takes one look at us and his eyes practically bulge out of his head.  He grabs me and pulls me off of Bobby.

“Soul! What the hell do you think your doing,” I scream.

“What the hell am I doing? What are you doing with a prick like this,” he challenges back.

“Hey, buddy.  What we’re doing is none of your business.”

“Ya, actually it is.  I’m her weapon.”

“And I’m her boyfriend.  I can touch my girlfriend however I want.” Soul punches him square in the jaw.

“What the hell, Soul,” I scream.  The boys are fighting now.  Fists are flying and their getting really rough.  Black Star and Kid run in and pull the two apart.

Soul turns to me, from where Kid is holding him, “Maka…”

“I think you should go home, Soul.”

He looks defeated.  Soul turns back around, punches Bobby again and then leaves the party. 

It takes awhile but I bring Bobby back to his apartment and bandage up where he is badly cut or bruised.

When I get back to our apartment, I’m furious.  I can’t even look at Soul because I know that I will freak out.

“Maka…”

“What the hell Soul? What the hell was that? Why on earth would you do something like that?”

“I didn’t like the way he was touching you…”

“So? He wasn’t hurting me! We were just making out… And it’s none of your business.”

He cringes, “But Maka…”

“What? I’m so mad at you right now Soul.”

“I didn’t like the way he was touching you because, well, I don’t want to see any guy touch you…”

“Well, tough.  I date people.  You date people.  You would be going ballistic if I did what you just did to the person you really like.”

“No, I wouldn’t.”

“Oh, ya.  And why’s that?”

“Because… the only person I really like, is you.”

“What?”

“Please don’t make me say it again.  You know it’s hard for me to express my feelings…”

“But, Soul…” He looks terrified about what I’m going to say next. “I really like you too.”

“What? Then why are you dating that asshole?”

“Because, one, he asked me out and I like him and two, he actually tells me how he feels instead of the guess and check system with you.  I started dating other people, because you didn’t tell me how you felt… And I didn’t want to ruin our meister- weapon relationship just because I’m attracted to you…”
