Author: I needed to write a story! I had gotten this idea after seeing this beautiful dress that was designed for a Masquerade so enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Soul Eater cuz a genie took it away. POOF!
It was like any normal day. We both walked to our apartment silently. Only this time there was something different. Maka had been acting weird ever since the announcement of the Masquerade. I really didn't care. The whole thing was silly in my eyes. The whole wearing a mask and not knowing whom you were talking to. I didn't like that sorta thing. Maka on the other hand…
"Hey Soul, are you going to the dance with someone?" she asked, her forest green eyes looking up to meet my crimson red ones. The question had shaken me. Why would she be asking? Her cute curious look made me smile. She really was beautiful… wait what am I thinking?! Though she has developed somewhat of a chest, and the fact that she got more curves doesn't mean she was attractive to me! …Was she?
"Umm… no why?" I asked. Well really I didn't. It slipped from my lips as I kept wondering why was she asking me this question? Did she possibly want me to escort her? A smile spread across her face.
" I was just asking," was her response. I couldn't stop myself from asking the next question. "Are you going with anyone?" it slipped from my mouth. Her forest green eyes focused on me curiously. Another smile spread across her face.
"No one has asked me so far," she answered. This was my chance. I had to ask her before any other basterd did.
She looked back up to me, her forest green eyes hypnotizing me. My mouth just drooped there. No words came out. She giggled at my facial expression as we kept walking. I started to blush a scarlet red. Why was it so hard to talk to her?! She has been my partner for years already! (A/N: yeah they're about 16 & 17) This was so uncool.
"Soul were you going to say something? Or do you want to catch a fly with your mouth wide open?" she asked giggling. Damn she was down right CUTE!
"Umm… yeah… I was wondering…"
"Yes?"
"If you wanted to go to the Masquerade with-"
"Maka!" a familiar voice yelled from a distance. It was Kid running over where we stood. Somehow I knew what was coming. But I couldn't stop it.
"Hey Kid. What's up?" she asked in a casual tone. No excitement, no annoyance. Just casual. He slowly stopped running and got to the spot where we stood. He smiled at Maka looking a little flushed.
I just knew what he was going to say.
"Umm… I was wondering if you wanted to attend the Masquerade tomorrow with me as your escort?" Kid asked almost as boldly as Blackstar had been when he had asked Tsubaki. Maka looked at me for a while waiting for a response. I said nothing. If she wanted to go with him it was fine with me.
Her eyebrows furrowed as I gave her no response, but she quickly pulled a façade and nodded. "Sure Kid… its not like anyone has asked me anyways."
"Great! I'll pick you up at 8:00pm since the dance doesn't start 'till 8:30pm." Kid had responded. A HUGE smile was now settled on his face. Not mine.
Maka quickly nodded and waved goodbye at Kid. When he was out of our sight, she huffed and walked away. I simply kept walking in a slow pace. What did she want from me? Obviously if she wanted to go with me she would have said 'no'.
I caught up to Maka as she slowed down. I could tell she was upset. The way her eyes looked told me everything. Her eyes slightly looked at me then turned around. I knew she was upset with me.
"Why are you so quiet Maka?" I asked breaking the silence. She looked at me as if I were a dumbass retard. What did I do? I didn't do anything that's what made her upset. This was so uncool. "Maka?"
"What the fuck do you want Soul?" she spat angrily. When did those cuss words enter her vocabulary? Obviously I miss interpreted her. She was not upset. She was pissed. You could tell by the way her nose scrunched and her eyes looked straight at the concrete floor. I had to make this right, but how?
"Maka, I'm sorr-"
"Sorry for what? What did you do that can possibly make me so freakin mad?"
"Maka I know your upset, but Kid was right there askin-"
"Soul, don't give me such a crappy excuse! You would interrupt anything!"
"Maka you're making this harder than it is-!"
"Why is it so hard to ask me to a dance?!"
"Because I would really like to take you, but-"
"BUT WHAT SOUL?! IS IT BECAUSE I'M NOT COOL?!"
"NO OF COURSE NOT-!"
"THEN WHY DID YOU JUST STAND THERE AND SAY NOTHING?!"
"BECAUSE I COULDN'T, KID WAS ALREADY ASKING YOU!"
Her eyes dropped to the floor. I felt my heart stop when I saw her eyes. They were hurt. I wanted to comfort her, but right now she needed her space.
" You could've but you didn't, and now I'm going with Kid," she said never looking at my face. "The time you were suppose to stand up, but you stayed down… and now you lost your chance…" she said as she walked away.
My heart started to throb.
What have I done?
