something more

Maka is in her room reading a book, figures. I pace up and down the hall bored out of my mind. Why does she read so much? Books can't be fun, can it? I walk up to her door and was about to knock but instead I stand there.. What was I doing? Not like she wants to hangout, she's too busy with that book. Whatever, I'm going in there anyway. If I get chopped? I get chopped. I don't care. I'm just so bored, I need someone to talk to. I open her door causiously, she's laying on her stomach kicking her feet back and forth, her eyes not leaving the book.

"I know you're there Soul."

Damnit, now she's gonna hurt me.

"What do you need?"

I walk in and fall across her back.

"I'm just so boreddd, entertain me."

She nods to her bookcase.

"Read, it's not as boring as you think."

I stare at the book case and let out a sigh.
"I don't see how that's gonna help my boredom."

She shrugs.

"It's better than nothing, now let me finish my book."

I get off her back and walk over to her book shelf. Eh, better than nothing I guess. I grab one then walk back to Maka. She smiles.

"If you ruin that book, I'll kick your ass."

I laugh.

"I won't ruin your precious book."

I head out the door and close it behind me. As I'm walking down the hall I open the book to find that the cover has been drawn on.. It was my name.. With some hearts.. My heart feels like its pounding out of my chest, I close the book, and go back to my room.. Does she know she gave me a book with that in it? I sit on my bed and toss the book into a nearby chair. Does she really like me? Well duh of course she does, she wrote those stupid hearts that girls always use when they like a guy, I lay back on my bed and stare at the ceiling. But why me? I'm nothing special, I'm just a weapon. She could go for Kidd, he seems like a nice fit for her. I start to picture her with him and it starts to make my stomach churn. No, I'm the only one for her. I can't watch her date some other guy, that'll tear me apart. I look over to the book again. I don't even think I can read that book now, what's she written in it really has me thinking. I let out a sigh and get out of bed, I guess I could take it back to Maka? She'd get mad cuz I haven't even started reading it. But I have to confront her about this.. I need to know.. I grab the book and leave my room, I take a deep breath. Alright, I can do this. I step up to her door and I knock this time. I hear her movement, then the sound of her turning the door knob.. Oh jeez what am I doing? My heart is pounding again, I think I might pass out... She opens the door and smiles.

"Hey Soul, what's up?"

I try not to turn red, or run away..

"So this book.."

She looks at the book.
"Soul, you just got it. You didn't even start reading did you?"

I look down at my feet.
"It's not that, I just found something in it." She looks confused.

"What'd you find?"

I take the book out from under my arm and open the cover to reveal my name with hearts surrounding it. Maka's face goes red, my face goes red.. Now we're just standing here awkwardly, great.. What do I say? What is she gonna say? She calmly takes the book from me.

"Uh.. I-I.."

She looks like she's going to cry.

"Maka, it's okay... I like you too."

She looks at me shocked..

"Wha-What did you say? You like me?" Before I could say anything she runs back into her room and slams the door.. I stand there for a few seconds.. What just happened? I hear her jumping around, what is she doing? I walk back to my room, and shut the door.. I just said I liked her, how did I not pass out right there? I Iean against the door and slide down the the floor. What am I going to do, I can't face her again.. She probably doesn't even want to see me now. I stay seated on the floor for a good 15 minutes when I hear a noise, sounds like.. Paper? A folded piece of paper slides under my door. I hear fast movement fade down the hall. I let out a sigh, Maka. I pick up the paper and unfold it, in small handwriting it read. Soul, I'm sorry for the way I reacted. I just never thought that'd you'd like me back. Since we both know each others feelings.. Could we.. Never mind that's stupid of me to ask. P.S supper will be ready soon. I look up from the paper, Could we what Maka? I think for a while.. Oh.. She wants us to date, I start to blush. Cool guys ask the girl out.. Right. I stand up and put the paper on my desk. I can do this. I walk out of my room to find Maka at the stove cooking, my stomach grows. That smells so good, I start to drool. No, no time for food. I have to ask her out. I come up behind her.

"Hey..."

She jumps a little
"H-Hey.."

I stand by her watching her stir the rice. "So.. I was thinking.."

I pick with a thread on my jacket. She waits for me to continue..

"Do.. Do you want to go out with me?"

I say turning red.. She stops stirring and turns around smiling

"yes!"

She jumps into my arms crying and laughing.. I couldn't help but smile. I hug her back, twirling her in circles.. I feel so happy, its crazy to feel this much happiness. Then I snap back to reality, "Maka, the food.."

She leaves my arms smiling.
"Don't want that to burn, our first meal together as a couple."

She chuckles. I smile and sit at the table watching her cook.. I must be the luckiest guy ever I thought to myself. Maka comes back to the table with our food.

"When should we tell the others about us?"

She says.

I laugh, thinking about everyone's reaction and shake my head.
"What's so funny?"

She asks with an upset look on her face.
"Nothing, just thinking about how everyone would react."

I start eating my food. Maka watches me eat, looking lost in thought.

"We'll tell them at school tomorrow."

She says, she then starts to eat as well. I nod in agreement.

"Can't wait to see their reactions."

I laugh again at the thought.
