Wake Up (SoulXMaka)

Wake Up (SoulXMaka)

"Uh, Maka, I'm," Soul says looking at her laying on the couch as he walks in the living room. He slightly laughs to himself realizing she's asleep. So she fell asleep, Soul questions grinning as he walks out the front door. I'll be back before she wakes up, she won't even know I'm gone, he tells himself as he grabs his motorcycle's key. I'll get her something as an apology, Soul thinks shutting the front door smiling. I'm a real jerk, he thinks glumly sticking his hand in his pockets, I can't believe I forgot her birthday and then got into an argument with her....
************************************************************************

I sit up yawning as I stare around the empty room. Hm, I wonder where Soul is I think getting up and walking to his room. For some reason, I have this weird feeling something is wrong with him. I knock on his door, "Soul?"

No response. I open the door to see no one inside. Oh, I think confused, where'd he go? I hear the house phone ringing from in the kitchen.

I sigh walking out of his room and shutting the door. I wonder where he is, I think walking into the kitchen and taking the phone off it's base. "Hello," I answer casually as I open the refrigerator getting the apple juice out. I hear sniffing over the line. "Um, hello," I say again worried.

"M-Maka, *sniff*," someone says through tears, "this is Tsubaki..."

I freeze in my place with the apple juice open in my hand, "Tsubaki, what's wrong?" Tsubaki is crying, this can't be good..... Did her and Black*Star break up or did something else happen?.....

"It's about Soul," Tsubaki sobs, "he got into an accident and died....."

I feel the apple juice slip out my fingers and drop to the floor. "You're kidding," I say as I feel tears welling up in my eyes. Tsubaki answers sobbing harder and I set the phone on the counter, covering my face.

I begin to sob. This can't be real..., this has to be a dream..... I wipe my eyes looking at the apple juice spreading on the floor, he can't be.... I sink to the floor sobbing and covering my head. I never got to say.... I didn't even get to tell him I was sorry for that argument we had earlier!!! It's my birthday and he goes and dies on the same day?!?!? I clench my fists sobbing.

I shake my head, this isn't real!!! this has to be a dream!!! I lay down on the floor sobbing, wake up.... Please let me wake up..... After a while of sobbing and pleading, I finally drift off into sleep from exhaustion.

************************************************************************

I wake up and sit up abruptly realizing I'm laying on the couch. Soul is sitting right beside me and my head was just laying on his lap. I feel my eyes getting glassy.

I look into his peaceful sleeping face. It was a dream....I think with tears forming at the corners of my eyes.

"Oh, you finally woke up," Soul questions yawning as he opens his eyes.

I feel the tears slipping as I abruptly throw my arms around his neck sobbing. He's okay! He's really okay!

Soul hugs me back hesitantly, "why are you crying?"

I keep crying happy tears as I hug him. Eventually I calm down enough that I pull away and begin to wipe my face clean. "I had a bad dream," I say laughing awkwardly as I wipe the last of my tears away.

"About," Soul questions curiously looking at me.

"I'd rather not say," I say blushing. If I tell him it might sound ridiculous....

Soul looks at me annoyed, "Maka you can't just wake up, look at me, cry and the hug me and except me not to ask why..."

I sigh, "fine, I had a dream you died...."

Soul huffs pulling me back into a hug, "I'm not going anywhere and about earlier with that argument, I'm sorry I forgot your birthday... "

I lean my head against Soul's shoulder closing my eyes, "me too...I'm sorry for getting so mad...." I feel myself blushing as timidly begin to speak, "there's something I want to say.... because that dream got me thinking...... if you would have died, there's something you'd never have heard me say...."

Soul pulls away from me and stares down at me curiously, "and what would that be?"

I blush bitting my lip, how is he going to take this?...... "I-I.....," I stammer out blushing furiously, "um...."

Soul smirks pulling my chin towards and gently placing his lips on mine. My eyes widen and I can feel the heat radiating off my face. He pulls away staring into my face grinning, "I love you too."
