House Decorating

Edited and revised :,)
Maka's POV

Unfortunately, Soul and I moved to a new house due to water pipe problems at the den.

"Soul, hurry up and get dressed; our friends are going to arrive any minute now to help us paint the walls!" I yelled.

Groggily, Soul stepped out of his room in his usual T-Shirt and pajama shorts. "Hold on, hold on. Just give me a few seconds," he groaned.

Knock Knock Knock

"Black-Star, you idiot! Do you not see the doorbell?" Liz's voice could be heard in the house despite the fact that they just stood outside. Opening the door, I wasn't as surprised to see Kid sulking behind the crew muttering something about the number of knocks Black-Star had made.

"F-Five more times—please," Kid stuttered, his voice cracking.

Opening the door wider, I could see Liz, Patty, Kid, Black-Star, Tsubaki, Crona, and Ragnorak. I allowed them inside while thanking them for the help of decorating the new house.

Liz clapped her hands together while looking at the bare walls, "Alright! Our goal here is simple, we paint the walls lavander and come back tomorrow to move the new furniture in!"

Everyone gave signs of approval as we started picking up our paintbrushes.

"Ready? 1, 2, 3! Teamwork!" we shouted in unison. Just then, Soul walked into the soon to be painted living room, and this time, he was in appropriate attire.

"Shut up!"

First, we started paining the living room walls. Skillfully, I dipped my paintbrush into the can and brought it up to the wall. Continuing to turn to my side to gather paint, Soul moved to my portion of the wall since he was completed with his.

When I turned to the side, however, leftover paint from my paint brush brushed onto Soul's shirt causing him to look up at me in horror.

"Are you serious, Maka? You're going to pay," he threatened.

I snickered,"Oh, yeah? How so?"

Tauntingly, he dipped his brush into the paint and lifted it up daring to make a move. Looking unamused, he soon became annoyed and flicked his paintbrush towards me causing little splatters of paint to land on me.

"Aw, c'mon; I didn't think you'd actually do it!" I whined. "But I see how it is. You 'wanna play that way? Game on!"

I abandoned my brush onto the covered floor. Bravely, I stuck my both of my hands into the can and threatened to wipe it all over him.

For a second, his eyes lit with horror, but it soon transformed into a grin.

"You wouldn't dare, you're bluffing," he scoffed.

"Try me." Taking a step forward, he took a step back. As I proceeded to take another step, I felt a hand on my wrist catching my attention.

Looking up, I see Kid grasping onto my arm while the group stared in disapproval, "Before you waste anymore damn paint, go sit in the corner; we'll paint the rest," Liz yelled.

Plopping down in the corner, Soul frowned, "Look at what you got us into, Maka."

Sticking my tongue out at him, we continued to watch our friends paint our walls. After about thirty minutes of watching them paint, the color lavender started to invade the previous beige walls. My eyes grew heavy while tiredness increased within my body.

Lowering my head to lay down, Soul scooted closer and cleared his voice to gain my attention, "Here, you can rest your head on my lap, so you won't have to lay on the floor," Soul yawned. He seemed just as tired as me. I tried to think of a way to avoid being so close to Soul, but my mind's exhaustion wasn't having any of it. Laying my head down, my head was cushioned by his lap. He was really warm. Unknowingly, my mind started to drift; I was unconsciously thinking about Soul—dreaming about him; the feeling was very calm until Soul's voice snapped my back to reality. "You know,Maka. You get us into a lot of trouble, but that's why I love you," he whispered thinking I had already fallen into the oblivion that is sleep, but he was mistaken.

"I love you too," I stated half awake voice dripping with sleep.

Hearing my reply, he tensed, but soon relaxed when he started playing with my pigtails. "I'm glad you heard that," he exclaimed.

Smiling with my eyes closed, I nodded, "Me too."

It was only by then had I actually fallen asleep.
