Souls P.O.V
After I got something to snack on from the vending machine out front I crept into our room. Maka was getting dressed. I turned away and was about to shut the door when curiosity bit me. I had wondered for years what she looked like under there. And I contemplated on looking again, but I turned away. I waited a good five minutes outside before opening the door again. I ignored my racing pulse as I walked past her. My cheeks were flushed and my head was spinning.
Why would I even want to look in the first place?! I thought. Clearly befuddled, I laid down on my bed and tried to solve the feelings within me that I had buried for so many years. I remembered the fine touch of Maka's hand and her warm hug that saved me from the madness. I longed for her embrace. I might love her. I did when I was younger, but that was so long ago.
"Soul? Could we share a bed? It's supposed to get pretty cold tonight." Maka was bundled in sweat pants and a DWMA sweat shirt; awkwardly shuffling her feet and shifting her eyes back and forth from me, to the floor.
"Uhh. Sure, Maka." I slid over from the middle to the side and she snuck in too. After all, it is pretty cool to have a girl in your bed. She spooned into me immediately and was out like a light. Our bodies were connected like magnets. I put my hand around her side, holding her dearly. I would protect her. I knew then that I would have to become strong for her, as she did for me.
"Goodnight, my cool partner." I whispered to her. And I kissed her on the temple. And she snuggled in further.
Maka's P.O.V.
I couldn't believe what I was doing. I was in bed with Soul, by choice, and I enjoyed it. I didn't have any nightmares, and I dreamt of Soul giving me a forehead kiss.
And maybe even kissing him back...
I don't know what's going on, I'm talking to Stein as soon as I get home.
We got up early. Around six a.m. and it was absolutely freezing. We layered our warmest clothes and ate in silence. We left, and rented a snow-mobile. I grabbed Soul's abdomen and clenched. Flurries passed our face, and soon we could see the forest. On the line of the forest, stood a figure. He was naked, except for the loincloth covering his unmentionables. This figure was not human, it's fingers were like daggers, it had the feet of a wolf, it's mouth occupied half of its face, there was no soul in it's eyes.
It turned to leave, calling us in, but Soul was faster. We accelerated with perfect timing, jumping in the air in unison, Soul turned into a scythe. I grabbed him and jumped off the kishin-eggs head. It barked in return. I began to use the end of Soul's scythe to hit it repeatedly in the gut. I backed off and prepared to use counter-attack. Sure enough it came after me, roaring with anger. It slashed its claws at me but I dodged and gave it a hard blow to the chest, knocking it back. While it was recovering I went in for the kill. I could hear the faint scream of "Let's go Soul Resonance!" and I could feel our Soul's throwing the resonation back and forth, it was stronger than it ever was before. It was easy. And we cut through him with something stronger than even kishin hunter. It was something different. And it terrified me.
Soul's P.O.V.
Now that was cool. I don't know what are Soul's were doing, but damn, that was amazing. I gobbled the Kishin-egg Soul up and we trudged back through the snow. My thoughts lingered back to why the egg had waited for us, maybe it wanted to die. Maybe it wanted us to kill it. It just wanted peace? Who knows?
We left hurriedly and was back late in the afternoon the next day. As soon as we got back I went to consult Stein, but someone was already in his office. I put my ear to the door and listened. It was Maka on the other end. I couldn't hear much, but I could tell it was bad. She was crying. I couldn't wait any longer and I knocked on the door hard. No one answered. I waited for three minutes until the door opened, and out walked Maka. I hugged her, she was surprised at first, and then she started crying again.
"There's something I need to tell you, Soul..."
