Note: I know this isn't really my most popular story out there but to be honest I suddenly got tons of ideas to add to this and am considering making it a series if things go well! Let me know what you guys think!

December. The weather was cold. Very cold. Especially in Death City. In fact, it was snowing on this particular day. Sitting in a coffee shop, alone and with a long blue scarf around her neck, was Maka Albarn. Her ash blonde hair was in pigtails as usual and her calm green eyes surveyed the area as if looking for somebody. Occasionally, a bell could be heard dinging as the door to the shop opened but whenever Maka looked over, it wasn't the person she was waiting for.

Glancing over at the clock on the wall, Maka saw that it was 5:26 PM. Furrowing her brows a bit, the young female suddenly began to wonder whether the male she was expecting forgot about their date.

Just then, the door swung open and in ran a young red headed male with his pointed hair being held up by his usual headband. In his hand there was a red heart shaped box. After looking around the coffee shop, the male spotted Maka. Their green eyes met and suddenly both can't help but smile. As he approached Maka, she could now see that his breathing was rapid and he most likely ran to get here.

"You doing alright, Lavi?" the young female asked as she titled her head a bit. Nodding, the male gave a weak smile and chuckled. "Yeah, I'm totally fine! Just ran into a bit of trouble but no big deal! Sorry about being late though…"

"Don't worry about that. I'm just glad you came" Maka said softly with a kind smile as she reached over the table for his hand. Grinning lightly, Lavi nodded and took her hand in his, gently squeezing it. "Of course I came, Maka. I wouldn't miss this for anything else in the world." Blushing lightly, Maka giggles and looks away, embarrassed.

"Oh that reminds me!" Lavi slowly lets go of Maka's hand and reaches for the heart shaped box, then hands it to her. "This is for you. I got it on the way here. Thought you'd like it." Beaming happily, Maka gladly accepts the box and stares at it with delight. "Aww! Thanks so much Lavi!" the female replies happily as she flings her arms around the male's neck, hugging him. Smirking a bit, Lavi hugs her back and gently kisses her cheek. "Hey you know I'd do anything for you babe. How long have we been dating now…five or six months? Of course I'd do this for you."

Nodding, Maka smiles more and gently caresses Lavi's cheek with her gloved hand. "I love you, Lavi." Blushing darkly, Lavi pulls up his scarf and mumbles, "I love you too, Maka…"

Laughing, Maka nearly falls out of her chair. "That was so cute! I can't believe after all our time dating you still do that!" Pouting, the male looks to the side and folds his arms. "I don't find it that funny…"

"I'm just teasing you, Lavi" Maka assures as she finally stops laughing and looks at the box of chocolates happily. Smiling a bit and looking back at her, Lavi rubs the back of his head. "Yeah, I know I know…."

After a moment, a young waitress approaches their table and smiles. "May I take your orders?"

Smiling back, Maka nodded. "Yeah! I'll just have a coffee." The female nodded and wrote that down on her note pad then turned to Lavi and gave him a kind smile. Grinning, Lavi thought for a moment before finally saying, "I think I'll also have a coffee. Oh and a donut too please!"

"Coming right up" the female replied as she turned away and walked back to the counter. Smiling, Lavi looks at Maka to see that she had a displeased look on her face. His smile faltering, the red headed male tilts his head a bit. "What's wrong Maka?"

Folding her arms, the young girl glares at Lavi. "I don't like the way you were looking at that girl. And she was looking at you that way too…"

"H-Huh?" Lavi blinked, giving his girlfriend a puzzled look. "What look? Maka, you know I'd never hit on other girls or anything. Not now, not ever." Rolling her eyes, Maka looked to the side still unconvinced by Lavi's words. Sighing, the male rubbed his neck and looked up at Maka. "If today goes well, I'll show you what's under my eye patch, Maka."

Suddenly, Lavi now had Maka's attention as her eyes darted his way with a burning curiosity. "Really…? You'll show me under your eye patch?"

Nodding, the red headed male smiled. "Of course. I mean its nothing special but I'm sure you'd like to see, right?"

"Y-Yeah" Maka blushed lightly and nodded eagerly. She'd always wondered what hid beneath the male's eye. Was it a scar? Was it a witch eye? Maka had so many questions that ran through her mind. Smiling softly, Lavi chuckles and leans back in his seat. "Alright then, Maka…now you have something to look forward to."

Giggling a bit, the female smiled a bit and tilted her head, looking at Lavi. The pair then spent their morning chatting about their lives in the coffee shop, not even bothering to worry about time. After almost two hours, Maka glances over at the clock on the wall and gasps. "Shoot! Its noon already!?"

Laughing, Lavi smirked a bit and shrugged. "Hey don't worry it was all fun and-"

"Y-You don't understand, Lavi I was supposed to be at the DWMA an hour ago! I'm late!" Maka yelped as she began grabbing her things, preparing to leave. As soon as he heard her words, he quickly stood up as well and began helping Maka get her things. "Crap…! Sorry babe I didn't know!"

"Its fine Lavi…we'll talk about this later but right now I need to go!" Maka replied as she picked up the last of her things and began making her way out of the shop. "Maka, wait."

"Huh-"

As Maka turns her head, her eyes widen a bit as she feels Lavi's lips suddenly on hers. The moment only lasted a few seconds but for Maka it seemed to go on for an eternity. The essence of Lavi's lips sent butterflies to the female's stomach. After he pulls away from the kiss, the red headed male gives Maka a kind smile. "I love you."

"I-I love you too…" Maka sputters out in embarrassment as her face suddenly becomes hot and she runs out of the coffee shop remembering that she had to be at the DWMA.

Chuckling to himself, Lavi slowly walked out of the coffee shop as well, making his way to Maka's apartment to relax for a while since he wasn't enrolled in the DWMA. As he whistled to himself, he wandered up to the apartment and reached under the rug to get the key, then opened the door and walked in.

Hearing a humming coming from the bathroom, Lavi smiled a bit, knowing well enough that it was Blair taking a bath. On his first time coming to Maka's apartment he hadn't known about Blair but it wasn't until he went into the bathtub that he had discovered her.

"Never having that happen again" Lavi told himself as he lay down on the couch and yawned a bit. It took him a while to sleep but once he did, he would start snoring pretty loudly. It wasn't until an odd feeling around his chest occurred that Lavi began to wake up from his pleasant nap.

Smiling happily and sitting on his lap was Blair the cat in her human form. "Nya! Did you have a good nap, Lavi-kun?"

"W-What?" Lavi asked quickly as he realized what was happening and felt his face flushing red. Oh man…if Maka were here she'd kick my ass…

"I asked if you had a good nap! Nya!" Blair purred as she tilted her head and smiled softly at the male. "Well…yeah I did, I guess…but um…Blair?" Lavi asks. "Yes?" the female pipes up excitedly.

"You're…sitting on my lap…" the red headed male mutters quietly pulling up his scarf to hide his blushing face. The purple haired female tilts her head to the side and furrows her brows as if confused by what Lavi wanted. "So could you maybe…get off?" Lavi nervously asked.

"Ohhhhh okay!" Blair said quickly as she smiled and nodded, standing up and giggling to herself. Sitting up and chuckling nervously, Lavi rubbed his eyes and blinked a bit. "Say…what time is it?"

"Time? Hmm…its three forty!" Blair piped up happily as she pawed at Lavi.

Three forty? Three forty…why does that time seem like—

"Ah crap!" the red headed male yelled out as he stood up quickly to Blair's surprise. "What's wrong, Lavi-kun?"

"I gotta go pick up Maka! I totally overslept!" he explained as he ran towards the door and flung it open, running as fast as he could to the DWMA. Lavi could already feel his legs about to give out and he had only been running for about half a minute. He was running that fast right now. As he finally managed to see the DWMA in his sights he came to a stop and held onto his knees, panting heavily as sweat poured down his forehead. "I…I made it…"

Looking up, Lavi's eyes glinted with relief as he noticed Maka. But then suddenly his face went stiff as he saw her walking with Kid and he had his arm around her. The young female appeared to be happy and having the time of her life. He could see Kid whispers something to Maka and she suddenly laughs out loud.

Wincing a bit, Lavi sticks his hands in his pockets and turns away, walking off with his head low.

Giggling happily to herself, Maka turned her head to the side a bit to suddenly see the read headed male she so deeply loved. She could feel herself beam happily as she saw him but her smile soon faded as she realized that he had his back to her and was walking off. "Hey Kid, I'll talk to you later…" she said quietly as she wandered off and began to go after the male. "Lavi…?" Maka called out as she suddenly got closer to the male. He had heard her, she was sure of it, his head had slightly lifted but for some reason he didn't turn around. Growing more worried by the second, Maka picked up the pace and began to reach for Lavi's arm. Why is he ignoring me?...Lavi, what's the matter?

"Lavi!" Maka cried out as she finally grabbed Lavi's arm and gently pulled on it, making the red headed male turn to look at her. It was then that the female had a clear look at his face. The sudden look caught her off guard. It was the first time she'd ever seen Lavi give her such a look.

Maka could feel her stomach tighten as she looked into Lavi's sad and hurt eyes. She didn't even know why he had that look in his eyes, all she knew was that she didn't like it. "L-Lavi, what's wrong?"

"Why don't you go ask your friend" Lavi mumbled as he turned back and continued walking gloomily, trying to get away from Maka. The young female stood still suddenly and watched Lavi walk off, a look of bewilderment and confusion on her face. What is he talking about…? What is he—Is it Kid? Does he mean Kid?

"W-Wait Lavi!" Maka called out as she ran after him, her arm extended towards the male. Ignoring her words, the male continued walking, biting his lip a bit. The young female could feel herself on the verge of tears at this point. "W-Why won't you tell me what's wrong Lavi? Why?" she asked desperately, her lip quivering as tears began to flow down her cheeks.

At hearing her sudden tone, Lavi couldn't continue to ignore her. He turned around suddenly to look at the saddened female. His eyes widened a bit, as he was surprised that she was actually crying. "Maka…" he uttered quietly as the female suddenly sprung into his arms, her head buried into his chest. Standing still from shock, Lavi looks down at the weeping girl who was sobbing quietly into his chest.

Slowly looking up at him, the female sniffs and bites her lip. "I love you…"

His eyes slightly widening from the words, Lavi can't help but stare at her, dumbfounded. Here he was, thinking that Maka loved Kid more than she loved him but now he couldn't help but feel like a complete fool. It only took those three words to make Lavi realize how much of an idiot he was for thinking that Maka really had lost interest in him. With a sigh, he held her closely and nodded. "I love you too…"

"I-I'm sorry" Maka whimpered quietly as she sniffed and wiped her eyes a bit. She still didn't know what she had done wrong but she somehow felt as though she owed him an apology since something clearly had upset him. "Don't be. I should be the one apologizing" the red headed male replied with a guilty look in his eyes as he turned his head away from Maka, too ashamed to look at her.

Suddenly Lavi could feel hands pull on his scarf and the next thing he knew, Maka had pulled him down to her and began to kiss him with a passionate desire clearly seen as her lips moved in rhythm with his. Blushing lightly and with a look of surprise on his face, the male looks at his girlfriend to see her scowl slightly at him. "Stop it, Lavi. I don't care what you think you did wrong or what's going on. What matters is that I love you! And I always will," she told the male in a determined and serious tone. "You're my red haired prince…remember?" she added in a softer and more innocent voice.

Lavi couldn't help but smile at the words. Those were the words that she had told him at the end of their first date, how could he forget? With a warm smile on his face, the red headed male cupped Maka's cheeks and leaned towards her to plant a kiss on her lips. Feeling her face turn crimson, Maka returns the kiss as her eyes flutter shut and she feels the male's soft breath on her.

With a grin on his face, the red headed male pulls back with a satisfied look. "W-What's that look for?" Maka asks as she pouts and looks to the side, feeling her blush get more uncontrollable. "Oh nothing" Lavi replies with a laugh as he smirks and starts walking again with his girlfriend following closely behind.

You always find a way to brighten my day.

Giggling, Maka takes hold of Lavi's hand and squeezes it lightly.

You always find a way to warm my heart.

The red haired male smiles softly, gently rubbing Maka's hand as they continued walking and neared the apartment.

You always make me fall deeper in love with you.

"I love you" the young female whispers to the male as they stop outside the apartment door. "I love you too" Lavi replies as he gazes into Maka's eyes with a glowing passion. For a brief moment, the pair of lovers share a kiss, forgetting about their worries and the earlier incident.

After a moment, the door opens and Soul frowns at the pair, shaking his head. "If you two are gonna do that you could at least be a little bit quieter…I could hear you from all the way in here." Blushing darkly, Maka hides her face in Lavi's chest, while the red headed male nervously laughs. "Yeah sorry about that Soul."

Sighing, the white haired male rubs his neck and rolls his eyes. "Yeah yeah…Just hurry up and come in already."

With a nod, Lavi looks over at Maka and smiles. "After you, my love."

"D-Don't call me that" Maka mutters as she glares a bit at the male, a light blush on her face. As she entered the apartment however, a small smile crossed her face at Lavi's words. "My red haired prince…" she whispers softly to herself.

"Huh? Did you say something?" Lavi asks as he pokes his head around Maka's shoulder.

"N-No I didn't!" Maka blurts out quickly as her blush increases.

"You sure?"

Smiling softly, Maka nods and lets out a small giggle. "Yeah…Nothing at all."
