Soul slowly opens his eyes, seeing the ceiling of his living room. Why was he sleeping in here? Oh, that's right. That movie Maka brought home. He must have fallen asleep while they were watching it. He moves to stand up, but finds himself anchored to the couch by Maka, who seems to have his left arm in a death grip, still asleep herself. He tries to pry himself loose, attempting to not wake her up, but he can't do it. It looks as if he'll have to wake her.
What a shame, Soul thinks. She's so cute when she's asleep.
No. Stop it. Cool guys don't get crushes on their meisters.
"Maka! Wake up!" He says, shaking her with his free arm.
She jumps awake, immediately relinquishing his captive arm.
"What's going on? Are we under attack?" she says, stumbling over words spoken by a half woken mouth.
"No, you wouldn't let go of my arm."
"Oh. Sorry about that," she says, blushing.
Truth be told, she hadn't seen the entirety of the movie, either. After Soul had fallen asleep, she wondered what it would be like to fall asleep in his arms. Unfortunately, the best she could do was latch on to his arm. She did fall asleep, though, and what a blissful sleep it was. But Soul is an idiot. He'd never notice her. Especially not with someone like Blaire constantly around.
"I'm hungry. We got anything left to eat?" Soul asks.
"A little, but I wanted to save that for dinner. Do you want to go out, instead?"
"Yeah, sure. Hurry up and go get ready, though, I'm starving."
"You should clean up a bit yourself."
"Nah, I'm good like this."
"Soul, do you know how many times people mistake us for a couple? I don't want people thinking that with you looking like a slob. At least go change clothes."
She gives him a hard stare he can't possibly stand up to, and he gives.
"Fine. But hurry up, I need to eat something," he says, walking back towards his room.
Of course she doesn't want people thinking they're a couple. Why on earth would she ever be interested in him? The whole situation is just hopeless.
Good? Terrible? I don't know. Please review, guys, I want to make this story as best as I can.
