37 soma/soul x maka if you have time :)
37: Can I kiss you? ooo soma! let me just *Watches clips to get back into character, sorry if it’s a bit off, i am a bit rusty in writing soma*
Maka pursed her lips unhappily as she stared at the sight of her sleeping partner, his head hanging freely off the back of the couch, a trail of drool dripping down his cheek.
Normally she would’ve been annoyed that soul was once again asleep on the couch instead of getting a proper rest in his own bed, also making a puddle on their nice floor, but something else was weighing heavily on her thoughts.
Maka clenched her teeth as Black Star’s words echoed at her through the quiet of the apartment.
“haha why should i listen to you, never been kissed?”
Maka clutched her fist tightly
Tears of anger pooled in her emerald irises , righteous fury building.
“Last time i try to help that idiot” Maka muttered, unable to keep the venom out of her voice.
“which idiot are you referring to?”
Maka let out surprised gasp, instinctively smashing the thickest book she could find against Soul’s skull.
“WHAT THE HELL!?” Soul yelled, rubbing his aching head “Seriously Maka?”
Maka felt her face flush embarrassment “Well it’s your fault for surprising me!”
of course she wasn’t going to let him know that.
“So what’s got you so riled?” Soul asked cautiously, wiping off the excess of drool from his cheek.
Soul raised an eyebrow: a single harsh nothing? Something was really bothering her.
Silence resumed but Maka felt the rage drain out of her, replaced with fear and nervousness.
Maka faced forward though she could see him out of the corner of her vision.
He was worried despite how relaxed his posture was. His ruby eyes flicked between the turned off tv and her face, little almost invisible traces of concern hidden on his face.
Maka let out a defeated sigh “It’s just Black Star”
“Black Star? I know he’s annoying and angering you is his favorite past time but he doesn’t usually do this good of a job that you’d be mad this late at night.”
“So” Soul asked calmly “What did the loud mouth do this time?”
Maka clicked her teeth “It’s not important”
“Obviously it is If what he said is bothering you. Normally you just shrug it off”
Maka snapped towards her weapon “I SAID IT’S NOTHING!”
If Soul was surprised by Maka’s outburst, he didn’t show it. Instead, he leaned against the couch once more “Tch, not telling your partner what’s wrong is so uncool.”
“….he called me never been kissed…” Maka whispered softly.
“ugh!” Maka growled, reaching for the book again only for Soul to gently catch her wrist mid-grab “I knew this was stupid to talk to you about! You’re just going to make fun of me!”
“Maka, you think all guys are slime and you never cared about that type of stuff before”
Maka could feel her cheeks turn pink at Soul’s touch. She pulled away with him and tucked her legs under her arms
“….he was asking around what was the best way to kiss Tsu” Maka admitted, soul picking up every word despite her attempts to muffle her voice “I guess tonight’s their first date….I told him just to stop freaking out and just kiss his girlfriend.”
“So let me guess, he said why he should listen to you, never been kissed?”
There was a brief paused as Maka breathed in heavily
“I don’t know why it’s bothering me. Like you said, I don’t care about that stuff and it came from Black Star. He couldn’t find water if he was in the middle the ocean.”
“I dunno what to tell you. I guess you’re growing up huh? Thinking about actually dating someone”
Maka rolled her eyes “ You are the last one to talk about maturity soul.”
Soul shrugged nonchalantly “You’re the one hung up about something that doesn’t matter.”
“Soul!” Maka started but the white haired teen pressed on “Seriously, you’re a smart girl. You should know better than anyone you shouldn’t be kissing anyone at random. It’s something special. do you really want that idiot to ruin it for you? i thought you were above his level”
“Soul!” Maka repeated though without the barb. She playfully smacked his arm
“Tch” Soul shook his head “This is what i get for being your cool friend”
Soul could feel his heart beat as Maka leaned her head against his shoulder.
Soul gave a calm shrug in response.
Silence resumed but it was now peaceful, calm, pleasant
Soul glanced downward only to find Maka’s bright green eyes staring directly into his soul with a pleading look that tugged longingly on his heartstrings.
