Okay, people who are familiar with these stories: Read. Those who are not you can just read the shit now.
So yeah, you guys may be curious as to why I put all these stories together. Well, kiddie winks, I was getting some reviews and even some PM's asking for updates and shit and it was extremely difficult to take in all the suggestions since all the stories were separate and there were like 10000 million billion back-skillion (6) of them, and so putting them all together as a collection just makes my life so much easier, okay? Okay.
Enjoy lads.

The harsh wind ripped harshly at the Soul Eater's scarf and he growled before yanking it back into place. It was autumn, it was 7:00 am and Soul couldn't sleep. He growled again under his breathe, he hid his mouth behind his scarf as a passer-by gasped as he did so. He clenched his shark-like teeth and rolled his eyes which he hid under shaded sun glasses. Yeah, it was cold and all but the sun peaked over New York's buildings and seemed to aim directly at Soul's eyes.

Soul shrugged to himself. It was convenient. A lot of school kids were heading to school at this time and he didn't want to draw any attention to himself, negative or positive. Sometimes immature school girls will drool over him, the mysterious, 18 year old, delinquent looking man with gorgeous stark white hair that framed his aristocratic face stylishly. As he started growing into his body at 16 he decided if old woman wanted to clutch their hand bags to their chests when he passed, and if mothers wanted to pull their children closer when he made his way passed them then he would give them a reason to. He wore baggy, faded jeans with a plain top and a worn leather jacket over him. He usually wore a black head band to somewhat tame his gravity-defying hair but today he wore his rare, pale brown fedora hat he'd inherited from his father.

He let his scarf fall loose as he made his way into the coffee shop. It was his favourite since it was open all hours of the day and that's how long he seemed to be awake. Suffering from insomnia was a bitch and all but it helps when you have a test to study for and you don't need to worry about nodding off on the job. He nodded in greeting to the couple that sat beside the window as he took off his glasses. They seemed to be here as much as he did. Actually, he believed he knew everyone who entered this shop but offered nothing but a nod. Where they suffering insomniac's also? He didn't know.

Soul placed hi scarf on his regular table and left his sunglasses there also before sauntering over to the counter and ordering his usual black coffee and three sugars.

He didn't hear the door's bell announce someone's arrival as he fought heavy lids. Sucks when you're tired but you can't sleep but what can you do? He took his drink and paid before turning to make his way back to his table.

"Whoa!"

A small body collided with his torso. Luckily, this person seemed to be more than a whole foot shorter them himself and stood just below his collar bone, otherwise he thinks his drink would've spilt all over them. Soul regained his balance and looked down on the person who annoyingly ran into him.

It was a girl. He raised a brow. Maybe a woman. She was small but… cute. He noted with some uncertainty. Her ash blonde hair was hung in a loose pony tail but from what he could tell it was pretty long. Her eyes were something though, which in turn was something coming from him. She had very pretty almond shaped eyes that were looked heavy with eyelashes, they were green. But bright green. They almost glowed and looked so bright he'd mistake them for a cat. He grumbled and looked down at his coffee.

"You're lucky that didn't spill," he muttered, waiting for the flood of apologies or for her to run away. He expected the latter and chose to walk around her before she did. He paused when a sound he didn't expect came from the petite girl.

She scoffed.

He turned around slowly to see her looking up at him incredulously. Almost angrily.

"I'm lucky?" she asked before narrowing her eyes. Her voice wasn't as expected, he'd expected it to be high a shrilly due to her size. Annoying. But it was rougher than he expected, with a gritty edge to it which was very attractive.

Wait, attractive?

He didn't have time to think more before she went on.

"You're the lucky one," she went on. "It wasn't my drink that I so carelessly threw at someone else. Maybe you should watch were you're going."

Soul arched his brow but didn't argue, he turned around to fully face her and eyed her again, before his eyes landed on her face.

"…What?" he drawled. The girl huffed and turned her back to order, leaving Soul to chuckle and make his way back to his table with a shake of his head.

Soul was working over some music scores when she approached again, her expression now more sheepish than challenging, Soul raised his brows before crossing his arms over his work to lean towards her.

"Here to yell some more?" he asked in amusement. She huffed again and he suppressed a chuckle. Since when did a girl make him laugh?

"No, I was here to apologise," she more or less growled. "But you won't receive that apology if you're going to be so rude about it."

Soul released his laugh here, breaking any ice that was left between them. "Okay, okay I'm sorry. You said you were here to apologise."

"Yes," she agreed with a nod of her head.

"And why is that?"

She looked at him incredulously, frowning slightly before shaking her head. "For snapping at you earlier, since that whole thing was, somewhat, my fault too."

Soul scoffed. "Somewhat?"

"Shut up. I've had a shitty day and I shouldn't have taken it out on you. Although you gave me the perfect opportunity to do so."

Soul laughed again. Wow, twice in one morning, had to be a record.

"You've had a shitty enough day to snap at a total stranger and it's only," he glanced at his watch before looking back up to the girl in amusement. "7:45? Whoa, that's gotta be some kind of skill."

The girl sighed before slumping into the seat opposite him and placing her coffee down. "More of a shitty night. I had to study all night for some test I have tomorrow and I need to stay awake. I was out of coffee so I head to trek all the way over to here," she stopped herself before she got wound up again, Soul laughed again before holding out his hand.

"Soul Eater,"

The girl eyed his hand before a smile tugged and her lips and she offered him a tentative grin. "Maka Albarn."

The two sat in the shop together before leaving together. Unaware that a single collision would result in their meeting, friendship and once day relationship.
