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.
