[♡ The Dance ♡]

It was a bright beautiful, sunny morning. The birds were chirping, there was a sweet spring breeze and it was peaceful. It seemed like the most quiet and perfect mornning, just until Maka started yelling at Soul.

"SOUL! We overslept again! We're going to be late!"

She pulled off the covers and dragged Soul out of the bed.

"Maka, cool it. We'll still get there on time."

Maka walked out of the room to let her weapon get dressed.

"Ok, alright but just hurry!"

She put got dressed, tied up her pigtails and made her way out the door and waited for Soul. As soon as the meister saw her weapon, she grabbed his hand tightly and ran for the school. Soul had always felt something for Maka and purposly woke her up late. She had always grabbed his hand when they were late so they can hurry to the school. Just the thought of it made Soul's face turn pink.

Once they got to the entrance of the DWMA, they saw the grim reaper, Death the Kid. Maka let go of the weapon's hand to catch her breath.

"Soul you're going slow. Hurry up a bit, would ya?"

Soul stood there looked at Kid.

"Go on without me, I'll catch up with you in a while. I'm gonna hang out with Kid for a bit." "Alright fine, but don't take too long" and the emerald-eyed meister ran off.

Kid turned to Soul.

"Hi Soul, my father is going to have a dance this Friday evening at 8:00pm to celebrate the defeat of Asura. I was wondering if you and Maka and the rest of the gang could come. I would ask myself, but I have to go make preperations."

Soul stood blankly. He didn't like dances, but this would be a perfect oppurtunity to ask Maka out. While thinking about it, he turned scarlet and imagined him and his meister holding hands, dancing under stars. Kid stared at Soul weirdly and poked him.

"Uh, Soul?"

The weapon jumped and nervously said, "Oh uh yeah, we'll go. I'll go and tell the others. I'd better get to class. Uh, see ya..."

Soul got to class and sat next to his meister. He started to sweat and got nervous. He didn't know how to ask her, and the more he thought about it, the more nervous he got.

On Thursday night, Maka had prepared dinner and placed the food on the table.

Soul thought to himself, "I better ask her now, or it'll be too late."

With his heart beating fast, he stood up. His meister stared and was confused.

"U-uh, um Maka? Well the academy is ha-having a dance tomorrow to celebrate the k-kishin's defeat and uh, I was w-wondering if you would go"

Maka stared at him blankly for a few seconds. She then smiled.

"Well yeah. Why wouldn't I go and celebrate?"

Soul noticed how she didn't understand what he meant

"Cool, but I wa-was kind of hoping you'd go with me. Like as my date..."

His heart was beating so hard, he felt it was going to rip out his chest. Maka, shocked, dropped her fork and couldn't look at Soul. Her face turned a bright scarlet. She began to get nervous and stared at the floor. She had always felt love for Soul, but she thought Soul would never have to same feelings towards her. she tried to speak but no words came out.

When she finally got the courage to say something she said,

"Uh... y-yeah. I'll g-go as your d-date..."

Soul felt a rush a joy, but he and his meister didn't talk for the rest of the evening.

It was Friday. The students didn't go to school because everyone was preparing for the dance. Soul spent the whole day trying to find his best tux. He went to his closet and searched for it.

"Ugh come on, the tux has to be here somewhere... ah here it is."

He heard a knock on the door.

"Uh, Soul, it's almost eight, we should get going..."

"Yeah, I'll be right out."

He put on his tux and went outside.

He walked out the door to see Maka waiting for him in a beautiful red dress with her pigtails tied red ribbons. Soul stared at her, and admired her beauty.

They went to the DWMA. They met up with the rest of the gang: Blackstar, Tsubaki, Crona, Kid, Liz and Patty. They talked, laughed and had an awesome time.

Lord Death stepped at the podium and thanked everyone for fighting.

"Alrighty now folks, now enjoy the evening!"

The music started to play. Maka got out of her seat looked at school and held out her hand. She smiled.

"Come on. Let's go dance."

The weapon stood slilent and held his meister's hand. They went out on the dancefloor and danced the night away. When they got tired, they went on the balcony and glanced at the moon.

"There are so many bight and beautiful stars, huh Soul."

"Yeah, there sure are."

He turned to Maka and layed his eyes on her. She noticed and looked back into his eyes. She began to turn red again.

"What is it Soul?"

He stayed quiet. His body started moving on its own and began to moving towards her. He then wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. She then realized what was happening and leaned in closer, put her arms around his neck, closed her eyes and she gently pressed her lips on to his.

The weapon and meister stayed quiet and looked at the stars.

"Uh Maka, do you want to go dance some more?"

She turned and smiled.

"Yeah, I'd love to" and she pecked his cheek.

He face turned a bit pink and put his arm around his meister's hand. They then danced the whole night.
