SoMa One-Shot ~ I Must Confess ~

"Hi Soul." Maka walks into the apartment after a quick visit to the store. She waves to Soul with a somewhat emotionless expression.

Soul looks up and waves back to her. "Hey Maka."

Maka looks down somewhat sadly. "What's up?...."

"Nothing much.. What's with your sad expression?" He asks looking concerned.

"Oh... I'm just bored..." She continues to look down, gripping onto the bag of groceries she bought.

"You look upset. You know, you can talk to me if something is wrong."

"It's fine Soul.... Nothing important..." She mumbles and walks into the kitchen to put the groceries away.

Soul sighs and leans back on the sofa.

Maka finishes putting away the groceries and sits down away from Soul. She takes out a romance book and starts to read it.

Soul looks at her, still worried about how she is acting.

"Please tell me what's wrong." He says looking at her.

Maka looks up from her book and pulls a fake smile. "I'm okay, really.."

Soul shakes his head in denial. "I can tell when something is wrong, I'll listen to whatever you have to say."

Maka sighs. "You won't understand..." She goes back to reading her book.

"How do you know if you don't tell me? Maybe I will."

"I'm not taking that risk... I don't want to explain myself.. and why would you care anyways? You're always mean to me..."

"I've always cared about you Maka, even if I don't always show it... You're the best partner I could have ever asked for and I hate to see you sad."

Maka sighs again. "It's nothing Soul.... don't waste your time worrying about me..."

Soul sighs and stands up and walks closer to her. He looks into her eyes. "I want to worry about you, if I didn't care about you that wouldn't be cool..."

Maka turns her head away from him. "To worry about me every time I feel sad wouldn't be cool...."

Soul puts his hands on her shoulders and turns her back, making her face him. "P-Please Maka... tell me what's wrong..."

"No Soul... I already told you... I-It's nothing..." She looks away again.

"There has to be something."

"Well.... it has nothing to do with you.... so it's fine..." She looks down at her book, placed in her hands.

Soul moves his hands back to his sides. "Are you sure?"

Maka lies to him and nods. "Y-Yeah.. I'm okay."

"You......" He sighs. "I'm going to go make us dinner." He starts to walk into the kitchen.

Maka stands up and dashes to the kitchen. "No, I'll go do it.. What do you want?"

Soul shakes his head. "No, It's my turn. I'll do it.. What do you want?"

"I don't care.... Just call me when it's ready..." She leaves the kitchen and walks to her bedroom, shutting the door.

Soul sighs, still worrying about Maka. He decides to make her favorite meal, chicken, to cheer her up.

Meanwhile, Maka is in her room reading her romance book. She sighs sadly. "I'm so stupid...."

Soul continues to cook, his mind focused on cheering up Maka.

Maka puts the book down and walks into the kitchen. "You need any help? What are you making?"

"Sure, you can help if you want." He smiles. "I'm making your favorite."

Maka smiles back, this time a real one. "Wow....That's so sweet Soul.... Making me chicken..."

Soul nods and smiles again, glad to see Maka smiling. "I knew you'd like it. Here, it's all done." He puts some on a plate and passes it to her.

"Thank you, but... I thought you hated chicken?" She looks at him curiously.

Soul shakes his head. "Nah, I've learned to like it." He grabs a plate and sits beside her.

Maka smiles, rolling her eyes playfully. She finishes her plate. "Thanks Soul, it was really good."

"Yeah, no problem." Soul finishes eating and takes their plates to the sink.

Maka follows him into the kitchen. "I'll do the dishes.. You cooked dinner." She walks over to the sink.

"Alright, you mind if we talk while you do them?" He asks, leaning against a counter.

"Sure Soul!" She smiles and turns on the water; starting to wash the dishes. "So?.."

Soul smiles back. "So, what have you been up to?"

Maka giggles. "That's it?.. Hehe, reading as usual."

Soul laughs. "Yeah, I guess so. What book are you reading?"

"Why do you care? You don't read..."

"Ha, I dunno."

"A romance book, okay?"

He laughs lightly. "Romance?"

Maka blushes slightly. "W-Why do you care anyways...Soul..?"

"I'm just curious who the lucky guy is."

"Why're you being so nice to me now Soul?..." She looks at him curiously, rinsing off the dishes, putting them on a drying rack.

Soul sighs lightly. "I can be nice can't I? Would you rather have me be mean?"

Maka looks at him again and starts to dry the dishes. She then puts them away slowly.

"I want you to be normal...."

"Ha, okay fine." He rolls his eyes.

Maka sighs, walking out of the kitchen, and sits down on the sofa.

Soul also sits down, sitting beside her, turning a video game on.

Maka picks up her book, walking into her room and starts to read it again, and he continues to play his game for about 10 minutes.

Maka pulls out a piece of paper and a pencil. She starts drawing Soul, feeling bored.

Soul looks back at her door, setting the video game down. He stands up and peeks his head in Maka's door, seeing the picture she is drawing.

Maka begins to draw herself behind Soul, off in the shadows.

Soul speaks up and says quietly, "You drawing us?" This startles Maka, she turns around and sees Soul. "SOUL! Get out!" She points to the door.

Soul smirks. "Why? I thought it looked cool.."

Maka sighs. "Of course... with me in the shadows... now get out..." She sighs, pointing to the door again.

Soul sighs. "Maka...."

"What Soul?....." She crumbles the picture of them up and tosses it into the trash.

"Why are you acting so strange around me?" He asks curiously.

"It's nothing Soul... go back to your video game...." She picks up her book again and starts to read it.

"No." He denies.

Maka looks up from the book. "No?" She sighs and turns to him. "What do you want?..."

Soul looks down at the ground. "What are... your feelings for me?.."

Maka blushes. "W-What?... What do you mean, Soul?"

"I mean... Do you like me more than a friend?" He looks at her, putting a hand on her blushing face.

She moves his hand off her face, and refuses to look at him. "Why Soul...Why?..."

"Because...." He says quietly.

Maka sighs. "Get out, that's the last time I'm going to tell you... That's a personal question and quite frankly.. I'm not willing to answer it..."

"What if?... Never-mind..." He sighs and walks out of the room.

Maka sighs again, and shuts her door. She lays on the bed, drifting asleep.

---

After awhile, Maka is woken up by Blair. She had meowed and pounced on her, wanting to play. It knocked her off the bed, and she had bumped her head pretty hard on the side of her bed.

"Ugh..." She groans.

Soul knocks on the door. "Everything okay in there?.."

Maka sighs. "Y-Yeah... I'm okay.."

Soul opens the door, seeing her on the floor. "You look hurt." He helps her stand.

Maka stands up. "I'm fine Soul, you don't need to worry about me."

"Y-Yeah I do.. You're my meister... and..." He takes a deep breathe, bringing her closer. He then closes his eyes, kissing her long and meaningfully.

Maka blushes bright pink and gently kisses him back. "S-Soul.. Why did you do that?"

He looks her in the eyes. "Why else?..."

"B-But why me.. you have always complained about me..."

"I guess I'm not very good at showing my true feelings, am I?..." He scratches his head.

Maka smiles. "Or are they your true feelings?"

"The kiss... that was my true feelings..." He smiles a little shyly. Maka smiles back shyly.

"The picture I drew showed mine a little..Hehe.."

"Why were you in the shadows though?"

"Because you're always the star... but that's alright.. I like being in the shadows.. I guess you get a better view of everything..."

Soul looks at her curiously. "What do you mean I'm always the star?"

"You're better than me." She sits on her bed. "Heh... just never-mind.. " She gets up and walks into the kitchen, looking for something to eat.

Soul follows her. "You know I wouldn't be able to get anywhere without your help. You're the one commanding me in training/battle."

"You would survive Soul.... Remember the fight with Crona and Ragnarok?.... You got hurt... because of me..." She frowns, sighing. 

"That was a long time ago, don't sink into the past, Maka... It's the future that matters.. Our future.. "

Maka bends over, still searching the fridge for something to snack on. "Yeah... sure Soul.." She says sarcastically. Soul stays silent, not knowing how to respond.

Maka sighs and pulls out an apple. "You want anything Soul?"

"Sure." He replies.

"Whatcha want? We have about everything...." She giggles and bends over enough so that her panties were showing. Soul notices and a drip of blood trickles down his nose.

Maka stands up and is about to hand him the apple when she notices the blood. "Why're you bleeding, Soul?"

He quickly wipes the blood away. "N-No reason!"

She raises an eyebrow and hands him the apple, then takes a bite of her own. "You sure you're okay?"

He laughs. "Yeah, I'm fine." He takes the apple.

Maka eats all the apple she can, then tosses it in a garbage can. She sits down on the sofa. "Okay Soul..."

Soul sits beside her, and takes a bite of his apple.

Maka turns on the TV. "I wonder if we should go to Lord Death.. I was supposed to find Kid and Black* Star."

"We probably should go find them then." He replies, turning off the TV.

Maka sighs. "But I couldn't find them...."

Soul shrugs. "Then we go find them?..."

Maka nods. "Yeah, I guess...." She thinks to herself "Or we can do other things. Hehe" She blushes but not enough to be noticed.

"Or... we could do something else?" He says looking at her.

"N-No.. Lord Death is waiting for us."

"Alright."

Maka looks around the room nervously. "Or... we could report in later?..." She blushes slightly.

Soul smiles. "I'm with you on this one."

"It was all your idea." She smirks, giggling a little bit. 

"Yeah so?, I want you to pick what we do." He smirks back at her, poking her cheek. 

"You pick since this was ALL your idea..." She blushes a little further. 

"But I want to do what you want to do." He sticks his tongue out at her. 

She blushes a deep pink. "But I highly doubt you want to do what I want to do..." 

He grins. "Tell me, maybe I want to.." 

Maka places a hand on the front of his shirt. "Oh nothing..." She smirks slightly. " Just a little making out.... nothing much." She blushes dark red.

Soul brings her closer and looks deep into her eyes. "Making out, huh?" He laughs. "Sounds like a plan." 

She looks down, hiding her blushing face. "You want to be the commander of that?... I'm afraid I'll get a little carried away..." 

Soul nods and lays her down on the sofa, and hovers above her. "You ready?" 

Maka nods, still blushing. "Yes, Soul.." 

Soul and Maka close their eyes as he begins to kiss her multiple times. He slides his tongue in her mouth and french kisses her. Maka slides her tongue into Soul's mouth. He begins to play with her tongue, still kissing her. Maka moans and continues to kiss back. 

Then out of nowhere, Blair comes into the room only wearing a towel. She grabs Soul off the soda and rubs her breasts in his face. "Oh my little scythy boy!" She giggles. 

Soul gets a nosebleed and tries to pull away from her. "Let me go, you stupid cat!" 

Maka looks at them both and sighs. She walks into her room, and shuts the door. 

Blair continues to press her breasts against Soul. "But why my little scythy boy!?" 

Soul pushes Blair off him and glares at her. "Thanks!, you've really done it now! You pissed Maka off!" He leaves the room angrily. 

Blair turns into a cat and meows sadly. Maka, out of frustration punches her wall very hard. It breaks her ring finger and pinkie. "Crap.... Ouch..." 

Soul rushes into Maka's room. "I'm so sorry about Blair.." He looks at her, and notices her hand. "What happened to your hand?" He asks worriedly. 

"Punched a wall...." She gently holds her hand. "Not as fun as I planned...." 

"Is your hand okay?... Let me see.." He walks closer to her. She holds her hand out, and it looks swollen. 

"It's fine.... All I need is some medication.... To be honest I don't even need that..." She moves her hand away from Soul. 

"It looks broken. I'm taking you to Professor Stein." 

Maka sighs. "I'm fine Soul.... all he'll say is "Yeah, it's broken." "  

"He can bandage it up." 

She sighs, and nods. "Fine Soul..." 

Soul takes her unharmed hand and starts to walk out of the apartment. 

Maka moves her hand away from him. "I can walk without help..." 

"Well, okay Maka.." He walks beside her. 

She clutches her broken hand and groans. "Man, that was a really stupid thing to do..." 

"It's fine... You were angry, I understand,  Just don't touch your hand." 

She lets go of her and starts to walk a little faster. "You still nose-bleed to Blair but not to me..." 

"That's because she was rubbing her chest in my face. If you were to rub your chest in my face.." He coughs. "I'd get a nosebleed for sure." He coughs again. 

Maka scoffs and continues to walk ahead of him, she looks at her broken hand as she walks. 

"Come on Maka, wait up!" He calls after her, and runs up to her. 

She ignores him and continues walking. He sighs, but keeps following her. 

Maka keeps walking and suddenly feels the courage to say something. "S-Soul... I've been getting mad at what you have been saying now.... because how you used to treat me..." 

"Like?..." He slows his walk down. 

"You used to say... "Look at me, I'm cool. Why would I settle for a flat chested girl like her?" "Things like that.. I may not have shown it, but those things really hurt me.... " She keeps walking.

"That explains why you were getting so angry...." He sighs. "I guess I'm just... maturing.... I'm sorry for all those things I've said... it wasn't cool of me."

She nods slowly, staying silent. 

Soul reaches for her broken hand. She walks faster so he can't reach it and he sighs sadly. 

"Maka... Please... I-I..." He couldn't finish his sentence. Maka continues to ignore him and walk forward. 

Soul is starting to get really frustrated. "Why won't you listen to me!?" 

Maka says nothing. He stops walking and stands. "Fine..." 

Maka walks a little further then stops. Soul stares down at the ground. 

"Why.. are you so upset?.." He questions. 

She looks down at the ground, unable to answer. 

"Maka... is it because of something I did?..." 

Maka shakes her head, lying. 

"Maka.... Tell the truth..." He looks at her. 

"Why should I?..." She looks back at him and starts to walk again. 

"Because...." He takes a deep breath. "I...love you..." He slightly blushes, and looks back down. 

"Y-You love me.... H-How could you?..." She stops again. 

He comes up to her and gently wraps his arms around her. He lifts her chin up. "I wouldn't lie to you, never about something as deep as this... You're the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.... and.. I mean sure.. Blair is really cute.. but she's not for me... You are. You're all I want... I want you happy... and I'll say it again.... I love you...  " He gently kisses her. 

Maka smiles, and puts her arms around his neck. She kisses him back. "I-I believe you.."

He smooths her hair down. "I'm glad you do."
