Horror movies

"Hey Maka!" Soul 'Eater' Evans walked in the door of his and Maka Albarn's shared apartment.

Maka was sitting on the couch reading a book, as always. Looking up from her book she said with clear annoyance in her voice, "What do you want, Soul?"

"This." He said pulling a movie out of his bag.

He tossed it to Maka, and upon looking at it, she saw that it was some horror movie.

"It's the scariest movie of the year, Maka." Soul walked over to her after tossing the keys to his motorcycle on the counter. "It's so terrifying, even Black*Star didn't want to see it. See, a cool guy like me wouldn't even care about all that horror crap. You howeve, I bet you won't even last ten minutes." Soul had his head facing slightly upwards, giving him an air of superiority, only increasing his arrogance.

Maka just wanted to read her book. She had a mug of tea, and she thought she had a nice, quiet evening to herself. But she also couldn't pass up a challenge such as this one.

"All right." Maka said confidently. "The first person to flinch or even cringe has to do the dishes AND the cooking for a whole week."

Soul, being his cocky self says, "Oh, you are so on." and he holds his hand out for a handshake to seal the deal.

Maka set her book on the table and went to set up the movie while Soul went and made the popcorn. The movie was set up, but the popcorn wasn't done yet, so Maka went to go get an afghan from her bedroom.

"Need something to hide under, Maka?" Soul said as she stepped out of her room with the blanket.

Maka just scoffed at him and sat down on the couch and out the blanket over her lap.

About a minute later the popcorn was done and Soul came over to the couch turning all the lights off on his way.

"You can't watch a scary movie with the lights on." he said as he sat down.

He picked up the remote and pressed play.

They sat there and after a bit Soul put the half of the blanket that Maka wasn't using and put it over his lap.

About twenty minutes into the movie, they both just started laughing at the terrible effects and the terrible attempt at a "plot". They spent the whole movie laughing, until, with only five minutes left in it, one of the monsters jumped out and scared the only remaining character and Soul jumped in his surprise.

Maka just started laughing at him and teasing him for jumping.

"Okay, okay, let's just see if this character actually survives, okay?" Soul was clearly ashamed of himself for jumping at such a pathetic little movie and thus losing his "cool".

The movie ended and Maka stood up and stretched her arms and legs.

"That was fun, but I'm going to bed." she turned around to look at Soul. "Oh, and don't forget to clean the popcorn bowl." She said, clearly still mocking him for jumping.

~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning Maka came out of her bedroom and was surprised to see that Soul was up and making breakfast. Usually, Soul was such a heavy sleeper, and was never up on time, and much less ever up before Maka.

"Mmmm!! that smells good!" Maka said leaning on the counter.

"French toast and eggs, with some delicious peppermint tea." Soul said, very proud of the delicacy he was preparing.

He had prepared a plate for Maka, put a towel on his forearm like a waiter at a fancy restaurant, and handed her the food.

Maka almost instantly started digging in, this being her favourite food, while Soul went to go take a shower.

Maka sat there enjoying the quiet morning, picked up the book she had tried to read the previous day and started reading right where she had been rudely interrupted.

She was reading for a bit when she finally heard the shower turn on. She knew she had about 10-20 minutes before Soul would be done and ready for school so she just sat back ready to get fully wrapped up in her reading.

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH" 

Maka screamed and spilled her grape juice all over her nice white shirt and her book.

"SOUL I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!"

Soul was leaning against the wall laughing so hard. Maka took her book and smashed it on the top of his head, doing her famous Maka Chop.

Soul instantly stopped laughing and held the spot on his head that the book had connected with. "Hey, I'm sorry okay. I just wanted to scare you."

"Well you did. And in doing so, you ruined my book!" she held up the book and watched the grape juice drip from it. It was hopeless and it couldn't be saved.

"Hey, I'll buy you a new book, okay. Now, you might want to change your shirt." Soul said trying hard not to burst out laughing again.

Maka looked down at the purple stained shirt and stormed off to her room to find a clean one.

She came out about five minutes later all ready to go to school, and there was Soul waiting for her. She glared at him some more and Soul says, "Come on, Maka. Just get over it, okay? I already said I'm sorry and I told you I'll buy you a new book. Lighten up."

She just growled at him as she walked out the door, starting to walk to the DWMA.

Soul ran after her and once he caught up he turns around to face her and starts walking backwards. "Hey Maka, I really enjoyed laughing at that terrible movie with you last night. We should do it again sometime. And who knows, maybe next time you won't get scared at the very end of the movie."

"I WASN'T SCARED, IT WAS YOU WHO GOT SCARED, YOU IDIOT" Maka yelled at him

"Hey, there you go, you spoke to me." Maka looked away even more angry. "No, but seriously, it was really fun watching it with you. Maybe we could make that our Tuesday tradition. Watch crappy horror movies and laugh at how stupid they are."

Maka formed a teensy smile, barely even noticeable, but Soul most definitely saw it.

He turned back so that he was walking forwards alongside Maka. He put his arm around her and said, "Come on, pick up the pace. You don't want to be late for school, do you?"

She looked at him and smiled and just like that, they both knew that he was sorry and she forgave him. 

 Maka's smile turned into a smirk as she said "Race ya!" then broke into a sprint

"What? No wager for this challenge?" Soul said calling up to her.

She turned her head around and smirked at him some more. He took up her challenge and started running up towards the school.
