1: valentines day complications
soul
was laying down on the couch his eyes fixed on the t.v. screen, but
his mind was elsewhere. he could hear pots clanging and someone
scurrying around the kitchen. a sweet smell filled the air that at
the moment he just couldn't put his finger on. his eyes shut closed
in irritation, no longer caring at all for what was on t.v., instead
trying to shut out the noise in the kitchen and calm him down.
although he normally loved to hear maka cooking it was way past
dinner, and the noise was getting irritating. his mind finally
snapped back when he herd a large pot hit the floor.
"dammit,
maka!! what the hell are you doing in there!?" soul shouted
raising himself so he could look over in the direction of the
kitchen. he saw maka sitting on the ground, and it looked like she
was nursing a burned hand, the pot sat on the floor next to her. soul
immediately shot up and rushed over to her side. "are you ok?"
"yeah,
i'm fine." she said shaking her hand to cool off her red skin. "
i was just trying to clean up, and i was moving this pot, but it
hadn't quite cooled off yet." she blew on it one last time and
started reaching for the pot. soul grabbed her wrist and held it
close to his face examining the wound. not noticing her staring at
his sharp red eyes or the blush rising on her face. he let go of her
wrist, grabbed the pot using the bottom of his t-shirt to keep
himself from being burned. he set it up on the counter and looked
down at her.
"wait
here i'll be right back." he said quickly rushing out of the
kitchen. when he returned he held in his hands some medical supplies.
he sat down and began to treat her burn. maka sat quietly and watched
him work. but he was the first to
eak the silence.
"what
the hell were you making?" soul said looking at what he could
see of the finished products.
"chocolates.
valentine's day is tomorrow. " she pulled her hand away from
soul and stood up. soul followed. soul looked down at the sets of
chocolate wrapped up. there were five. five bags of small milk
chocolate hearts. " see? "
"who
are they for?" soul said a bit confused. he assumed that he
would be the only one getting chocolates from maka, well they were
partners.
"
blackstar, kid, stine hakasai, shinigami sama, and papa." she
smiled at soul. but he was just staring down at the bags, his stare
was blank.
"right.
well i'm off to bed." he said quickly heading to his room. just
before he closed his door, he turned slightly, keeping his eyes down
avoiding eye contact. " be careful " maka smiled at this
and then continued her work late into the night.
morning
came quickly for soul. he had trouble going to bed last night. maka
continued to make noises in the kitchen and he didn't have the nerve
to actually tell her to be quite. he felt a high amount of anger
toward the five men who today would receive maka's chocolates.
"
she could have at least let me lick the bowl." he got dressed
and headed out to the kitchen which was a mess. the pots stood
unwashed in the sink and left over ingredients were spread out over
the counter. then something caught his attention out of the corner of
his eye, well someone. he headed toward the figure fast asleep on the
couch.
"maka...
you're such and idiot." he sighed and gently picked up the
sleeping girl to go put her to rest in her room. " what would
you have done if we had school today? we would have been late. "
he jokingly whispered setting her down. he pulled out her pigtails,
slipped off her shoes, and wiped a smudge of flour that lingered on
her cheek. gently he pulled a light blanket over her sleeping figure.
he smirked down at the girl. for some reason for the moment he wasn't
angry turned around and walked out the door, smiling in
one more time before he headed off to clean up her mess.
if
soul thought he was agitated before, he was wrong. maka and soul had
gone out to meet up with their friends to spend the day off hanging
out. black star was the first to receive his chocolate, which was a
mistake.
"bwahahaha
of course you would want to give chocolate to the great black star!!
after all i am the man who surpassed god!! and that would mean all
the women would be at my every whim, i commend you on your
avery
maka it seems others are too scared at my greatness, and..."
"here
you go kid, these are for you." said maka handing off her second
bag. black stars face dropped, then quickly picked up.
"well
i got mine first so i'm better! n u m b e r o n e !!" and
that was it black star was off. tsubaki did her best to calm him
down, witch she managed to do in a few minuets.
"
new record" said soul
"anyway,"
maka continued. " i did my best to make everything symmetrical."
"
and you did a splendid job maka. truly amazing." kid was quite
happy with his gift. no doubt he wouldn't eat it because of its
symmetry.
"by
the way i have to drop off the last of these at shibusen so i will
catch up with you later." and with that maka ran off.
"
don't be late for the party!" liz yelled. and to that maka just
waved not even looking back. soul just watched her run off not saying
a word. soon after the girls had waved off to go get ready for the
party leaving just soul kid and black star.
"
so, soul..." black star had made his way over to soul and had
thrown his arm over souls shoulder. " i know you wanna give me
some of your chocolate... right?" he added poking soul in the
cheek.
"
cut it out black star! and for your info i didn't get any." soul
shoved black stars arm off his shoulder and shoved his hands into his
pockets.
"
really? that must be a mistake?" said kid with a questioning
look.
"nope.
i don't have any." soul scuffed. this was so uncool. " it
doesn't matter i don't like chocolate anyway." at this black
star and kid looked at each other. soul was getting more and more
agitated by the second. " what!?!" he finally yelled. the
two looked at him.
