-Soul's POV-
The telephone rings. It has been 6 months since Maka went into her coma and since then nobody has called. It must be important.
I pick up the phone and Stein's low voice comes through the speaker,"Is this Soul?" He asks.
"In the flesh." I respond.
"She is awake and she is asking for you." He says, a voice so monotone that it is almost robotic.
I drop the phone and take off running. I don't bother with shoes, they take far too much time. I sprint down rows and rows of streets until I finally reach the hospital. I dash up to her room and see her standing by the window. She is wearing a loose hospital gown and the sun casts a golden glow all around her. I don't give her time to say anything before I pick her up and kiss her. She is very tense for a moment. Shit. But then she kisses back. I stand there, holding her slightly off the ground with my arm around her perfect waist. I break it off and she opens her unbelievably green eyes into my red ones.
"I missed you Maka Albarn." I whisper in her perfect ears
"I missed you too Soul Evans." She whispers back. The sound of her voice makes me smile so wide it pains my face.
I set her down and she wraps her arms around my stomach and rests her head on my chest. I put one arm around her shoulders and use the other to stroke her hair.
"How are you feeling?" I ask quietly.
"Amazing now that you're here. I'm sorry Soul, I am so so sorry..." she buries her face into my shirt. "I tried to kill myself, not realizing what it would do to..." I cut her off with a kiss.
"It's okay Maka. I love you and no matter what, nothing with change that." I say reassuringly.
"I love you too Soul. I love you until death do us part.". She whispers, and I kiss her again.
