Description A Confession From Soul!

The Decision Of Our Lives?


"I… I have a crush… On you…"

My heart did that fluttering thing again as my face grew a faint red.

He looked up at me with his crimson eyes, pleading, and said, "Do you hate me now?"

I was stunned with shock. I had no idea what to say. Did I like him back in that way? Do I Maka Chop him? What should I do! I couldn't figure it out…

Soul just sighed and looked away again. "I guess you do…" he said, getting up, "I'll leave you alone for now. If you don't want to cook tonight, I'll order Chinese or pizza, your choice."

He left my room and I laid back in my bed, staring at the ceiling.

'He likes me?' I thought, 'The most flat-chested girl in Death City? The one who keeps hitting him with books every time he does something stupid? The least dependable meister in Shibusen? He likes… ME?'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Around six o'clock, after a few hours of laying in bed, thinking over the past events, Crona had returned home and Soul had order Chinese food. All three of us ate silently, except Ragnarok who ate like a pig. After dinner, Crona started watching television and Soul went to get a quick shower. I retreated back to my room and sat on my bed, still thinking everything over.

'Do I like Soul…?' I thought, staring at the carpet, 'He did save my plenty of times… He's nearly died for me… He still deals with me even though I hit him a lot and sometimes it's not his fault for ending up in a bad situation… He's really cool and fun… He helps me through things… Are there any cons to liking Soul…? Getting hurt… The relationship ending badly… Just like Mama and Papa… But am I willing to risk it…?'

I heard the shower turn off and looked up, waiting for Soul to pass by my open door. After a few year-long minutes, he passed by in his pajamas.

"Soul." I said softly.

He stopped instantly and turned to me.

"I wanna talk to you… About what you said earlier…"

The scythe entered my room and sat next to me, listening closely.

"I… I think I like you, too… But I'm afraid if we get in a relationship… It will end up just like Mama's and Papa's…"

"I would never do what your father did." He said, wrapping an arm around my shoulder, "Cool guys don't cheat. They stay by their girl."

My heart fluttered a third time at the words "their girl" and I said, "But something else can happen…"

"I won't let it, Maka. You're the coolest partner a weapon could have and the coolest girl a guy could date."

"But I don't have a chest…"

Soul laughed and I looked at him, confused.

"Do you really believe I'm that shallow?" he asked, grinning at me.

"But Blair…"

"Yea, sure, I get a nosebleed when she gets in my personal space, but that doesn't me I have a crush on her."

I stayed silent for a moment.

"Come on, Maka." my partner said, hugging me, "You've trusted me as your weapon over these few years. You can totally trust me as your boyfriend."

After a moment of my silence, I finally spoke, "Alright… I'll be your girlfriend."

Soul smiled at me and hugged me again.

"Thank you, Maka."
