We're Not in Love (soul x reader) |Discontinued|

Madness

"Welcome home." Soul smiled. You sighed.

"I'm sorry guys.... I'm out of it today." You said holding your music box. "I can't cook dinner... I promise I will tomorrow."

"Ha?! But that's not fair!!" Black star shouted.

"Black star, stop for a moment." Soul said.

"Her soul isn't lively right now..... It's frightened." Maka mumbled to the table. "Her aura changed completely."

"Y/n, tomorrow we're off on another extra credit mission." Tsubaki smiled. You turned around and looked at the map she was pointing to.

"......that's far from the school." You sighed. "Again."

"It'll be fun! I'm sure!" Black star smiled. You gave a weak smile.

"Everything is fun on this team." You giggled.

"That's better, it's odd not seeing you happy when you're around the mighty black star!!" Black star hollered. "Now how about that food?" He asked almost as if begging. You laughed.

"God, how'd I know that's be the first thing you asked me for." You shook your head. "I was gonna keep this for myself since there wasn't much but it's the leftovers of what I made for dad." You said. "It's really just a soup." Black star opened it and looked almost as though he had been sent to heaven.

"It smells so good!!" He said. You laughed.

"It was the first homemade thing I learned to cook, it was my favorite as a kid, my mom used to make it." You smiled.

"What type of soup is it?" Maka asked.

"It's a loaded potato soup!" You smiled. "It's really filling and yummy!" You suddenly felt like you had been stabbed. "Ow." You said holding your stomach.

"Huh? Are you hungry?" Black star asked.

"No, it's the black blood." You mumbled. "I'm ok, just give me a second."

"You're still having physical problems with it?" Soul asked.

"Yeah, well I mean, it's trying to infect all my blood... Here look." You took a small knife and cut open your palm. The blood was a mix of red and black. "Science lesson here." You laughed. "When exposed to air, the black blood will over rule my normal blood always, but when concealed my blood fights much easier against the enemy, it's.... Like how crona uses his blood, unless exposed to oxygen he can't use it as a weapon." You explained.

"Cool." Soul said.

"That's not cool!! It means she's struggling at facing the black blood soul!" Maka shouted.

"It's actually not that bad. Just tiring, and that's why I need sleep." You yawned. "Wait before I go to sleep in my room, tsubaki, black star are you sleeping over?" They nodded. "Oh so I have to sleep in the freezing cold room." You looked at soul.

"It's not my fault!" He said. "Blame black star and tsubaki."

"I'm going to sleep, if you guys get hungry and don't have the money to order pizza wake me up ok?" You said. "Alright goodnight." You took your music box and left. Wounding it up as you walked to soul's room. When you opened the door you saw he organized a bit. You closed the door and walked over to his desk he was reading something. You set the music box down and grabbed his blanket, wrapping it around your shoulders. You started reading, it was a comic book. You kept his page and started at the beginning, by the time you made it to his page you were super sleepy. You rewound your music box and laid your head on the desk letting yourself sink into slumber.

"Ugh, this girl is hopeless." You heard soul mumble. "And we have a mission tomorrow." You felt warm arms pick you up and set you on the bed. A second blanket was pulled up over you and the one that was slumped over your shoulders slid off as soul wrapped his arms around you. You opened your eyes slightly and looked up at him.

"M..." You said. You reached over to the desk and grabbed the music box. You wound it and placed it back on the desk. The gentle tune played and you could almost hear your mother humming.

"Welcome back." The devil said. "Am I allowed to speak about what you two are hiding now?"

"Absolutely not!!" You and soul shouted.

"Ugh, you two are no fun." He groaned. "are you sure you two are not in a relationship?"

"....nope." you mumbled. You could hear the music box.

"Where'd you get that music box?" Soul asked.

"It was my mother's... When she left... She gave it to me, it's the same tune she'd hum to me as a child when I wouldn't sleep." You yawned. "It makes me tired to this day."

"Why'd you fall asleep on my desk?" He asked.

"I was reading your comic, I only made it to the page you were on when I started reading." You smiled. "What'd you guys talk about after I left?"

"......random stuff, a bit on why you're acting a bit strange."

"Hmm, strange indeed for the Soul Slayer." The devil said. Your eyes shot open and you turned around grabbing the collar of his suit.

"Where did you learn that name?!" You growled.

"I'm a fabric of your mind, you've been thinking of it quite a lot lately, your dad doesn't even know about that right?" The devil asked.

"Shut up..." You mumbled.

"What a unfaithful daughter he has." The devil mumbled. You clenched his collar as tears welled in your eyes. You dropped him and covered your eyes, falling to your knees. "Weak." He sighed.

"Hey! Stop it! That's obviously a sensitive topic." Soul said hugging you. "She'll probably tell him when she's ready, it's not something to make fun of her on."

"You don't understand soul, had y/n said this you wouldn't feel bad about your second Meister getting hurt, because she's so scared of her identity to even have protected herself from the demon sword."
