Your Soul Belongs to Me (Soul & Maka)

Chapter 2--Soul and Maka

Maka's Point of View

----------

I didn't know whose lips had found mine, but I didn't care, the sudden alertness I felt was astonishing. I don't know what had happened, but I felt like I was waking up after sleeping for a long time.

Before I know what I'm doing, I was kissing him back, even though I didn't know who it was. My eyes snap open to find Soul above me, his lips moving with mine, in sync. I gasp against his lips, a blush spreading through my cheeks. Soul, the idiot he was, let a smirk spread across his lips, somehow sheepishly; he looks down.

"Soul?" I ask, still shocked, "Why did you kiss me?"

"I wanted to wake you up," he says, a pleading tone in his voice.

"You could've shaken me, thrown water on me... Anything to wake me up, why did you have to kiss me?" Because now I want you to do it again, I think, why do I want you to do it again?

I find myself looking at his lips in wonder, wanting the feeling of them on mine again. I sit up, rose petals falling from my hair and chest.

"Maka, we tried all that," he says. "Please don't be mad at me, Professor Stein was the one who suggested it. I didn't want Black Star or Kidd to do it, I wanted it to be me. It was only to wake you up."

Only to wake me up...

"Did you do it?" I hear Liz's muffled voice through the closed door.

"Yeah," Soul says.

Tsubaki and Liz bust in the door, both grinning ear to ear, they kind of looked like the moon... Calypso's eye flashes through my mind, I remembered everything, I remember everything. The only thing that I can't recall is after I fell asleep, where was I when I was asleep?

"Really, you guys?" Soul says, back to his normal 'cool' self. "You can't let her get back to normal before you have to crowd her?"

"No, we have to have a girl talk!" Liz squeals.

"Yeah," Tsubaki says quietly, "We have to talk to her."

"So get out," Liz says to Soul.

I watch him leave the room, he saunters to the door wordlessly. Please don't leave, I think, please kiss me again. Soul...

Liz's grin impossibly widened, "How was it?" She asks, drawing my attention away from the closed door, Soul left.

Soul's Point of View

----------

"Why did I kiss her?" I speak out loud to myself, the empty hallway offers little answer except a repetition of the unanswered question. "She probably hates me now and all I can do is think about kissing her again," I punch the wall violently.

"Soul?" Professor Stein speaks from behind me, "I hear Maka is awake." He smiles, proudly, "I knew it would be you."

He looks worriedly for a moment at the hole I had created in the wall, I shake my head. "What do I do, Stein?" I ask insistently, knowing that if he can't answer that question, I'm stuck. "She's my Meister, I'm not supposed to... to... Love her, like this." I love her.

He lets out a puff of smoke that he has been holding in, "I don't know," he empathizes. "It seems feasible that something like this would happen considering how connected your souls are when you become Weapon and Meister," he ponders the thought for a moment. "There is a special connection you two have, this is it, I'm sure. She feels it too, everyone has seen it, that's why Black Star said it would obviously be you."

"Everyone sees it?" I ask, blinking incredulously. My mind wanders to all of the battles we have fought hand-in-hand, figuratively anyway.

"Why, yes," he smiles, the cigarette ash falling from the glowing butt. "It seems the two in the center of the observation are the last to know, this is why I must ask... Did she kiss you back?"

I look at Stein with so much surprise, his smile grows to a grin, "She did, didn't she?" He insists.

Maka's Point of View

"I..." My brow furrows, not sure what to say. "I kissed him back."

"Of course you did!" Liz says, "You two have been teetering on the edge of that cliff forever."

"What are you talking about?" I ask, "He's my weapon, we don't feel that way about each other; or, at least, he doesn't feel that way about me."

"Look, Maka," Tsubaki speaks up. "Stein suggested a Sleeping Beauty approach for this specific reason; everyone has seen the way you two fight together, how in touch your souls are, the way you seem to speak telepathically while in battle." She shrugs, "Who cares if this is the school's rule? There is obviously something there if Soul was able to wake you up, the whole idea of true love might not be as stupid as we think."

My breath catches in my throat, can something like this really happen? I shake my head to avoid the thoughts entering my mind, Soul can't really love me, can he?

A/N

That's my second update, not sure how to continue, comment your thoughts, I can either point it in a sexual direction after they reach an official relationship or I can continue it this way.
