A Resonance of Love

Chapter 2

Maka's POV

Crona. He was all I saw in the blood-red room. "Crona!" I yelled. Instantly he melted into a pile of black blood and turned into a shadow. Then I saw Soul without his scar standing next to Crona's shadow. "Soul! Run now!" I screamed. "Shut up, Maka." He said rudely. Crona's shadow grinned and cut him, making his large scar reappear. I opened my eyes. I was breathing heavily and had tears rolling down my cheeks. "Don't worry, Maka, it was only a dream. Stupid Soul and his movies." I whispered to myself. I was covered in a thin sheet of sweat and tried going back to sleep, but I couldn't. I was still too scared to sleep alone.

I got up and opened my door and came face to face with Soul's door. I turned the knob slowly remembering what happened yesterday. I openee his door but he was staring right at me. "Soul?" I asked in a tiny voice, "I'm awake. You screamed and I was about to go check on you." He said kindly. "Oh...Thanks. Can I sleep with you tonight? I had a nightmare again." I asked. "Sure." He simply replied, rolling to the other side of his bed so I could get in. I climbed in bed with him and he wrapped his arms around me. I snuggled into his chest so I knew that I was safe. Instantly his tensed his chest up. "Soul, relax. We're in bed." I said calmly.  He relaxed again and sighed.

"What was your nightmare, anyways." He asked with a concerned tone that sounded like it trying to be covered up. I already felt the tears roll down my cheeks. "Y-You... g-got cut o-open again." I whimpered. I was crying into Soul's bare chest at this point. He rubbed my back and calmed me down. "Don't worry, I'm fine." He said reassuringly. I pointed to his long scar and sobbed. "No, you aren't!" I screamed. "I-I'm s-orry, S-Soul..." I said with tears pouring out of my eyes. I looked at his scar and kissed it where it crossed his heart. Then I hugged him and kept repeating,"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." He pulled me closer to his chest and calmed me again. "I really am fine, Maka. Plus it makes me look cooler. It shows I'm a good weapon." He smiled. I smiled a little bit then frowned. "Please stop calling yourself my weapon. I feel like that's all you feel we are, weapon and meister. You are my best friend, Soul." I said while rubbing where the scar was. "I know. I just always want to make sure you are okay. Like I said before I am ready to lay down my life for you." He laughed. I hugged him tighter. "But I don't want you to die, Soul. I couldn't go on without you." I said with tears welling up in my eyes. He placed his hands on ny cheeks and whiped away my tears with his thumbs. "Then we will have to get stronger and fight for each other." He grinned his toothy grin. I smiled and layed back down into his chest.

As I lay there I thought about how Soul is so kind. Even if he is a cool guy, he always makes sure I'm fine. Even if it means going he extra mile. I wish I could pay him back somehow. I know! I will make him his favourite breakfast tomorrow morning! Pancakes, bacon, and boiled eggs. Just a little reminder that I appreciate him. My bubble of thoughts was bursted when I heard Soul in his sleep. He had a scared expression on his face. "Maka... ahhh!" He screamed. "Soul! Soul, wake up!" I held his hand in mine and placed my other hand on his shoulder. His eyes shot open and he breathed heavily. I rubbed his chest, slightly. "It's alright it was just a dream." I said softly. He hugged me. "Don't ever leave, Maka. No matter what. Got that?" He asked with an aggressive voice. "I won't. I promiss. I'm right here next you and I always will be." I said reassuringly. He pulled me on top of him. "S-Soul?" I said confused. "Sleep on me tonight. I need to know you're here even if we are asleep." He said. I nodded and he wrapped his legs around my waist so I couldn't get off of him. I sighed and layed my head down on his chest. He put his arms on my back and I put my hands on his sides. "Goodnight, Maka." He said with a calmer voice. "Goodnight, Soul..." I replied sleepily and drifted off into a soft and calm dream.
