Chapter 1: His butterflies

Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater!

(This story is a little bit a head of our current season, its not Christmas yet! ^_^ but it's on its way.)

Enjoy.

The sweet aroma of cinnamon and chocolate filled the air, as the young scythe meister decorated the room with small bright. Outside of the house was a beautiful white wonderland. In the far, right of the apartment sat a small green tree waiting to also be decorated. There beside it sat a small box filled with tiny bulbs, lights, and a shiny golden star.

"Soul is suppose to be helping me decorate the place…..He promised me he'd do the tree" Maka sighed, hopping from the small stool.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

"They're done!" She chimed, scurrying over into the kitchen, throwing on the oven mitts. She carefully pulled out the lower oven rack and slowly took out the tray of warm chocolate chip cookies. Next was the crispy and warm cinnamon apple pie. She had learned the recipe from her mother. She used to make it for Maka and her Papa every holiday. "These smell great! I better go wake Soul. Everyone should be over pretty soon." She smiled, placing the desserts in the center of the table.

The clock read 11:30pm. Soul was lying on his back, thinking about the upcoming holiday. More importantly today, how was he going to react when everyone arrived? No, Not everyone. How was he going to react when HE arrived?

Soul's heart began to pound and his palms became moist. This would only happen he thought about his crush, Death the Kid.

Not only was he worried about how nervous he would get when he was in his presence, He also thought about today's guest list; Black*Star, Tsubaki, Liz, Patty and of course the apple of his eye

A deep sigh escaped from Soul's Lips.

"….Should I tell him? "

Knock. Knock.

"Soul? Are you up?" Asked Maka from the other side of the onyx colored door.

"Yeah, I'm up." Answered Soul, Sitting up.

"Great. Can you come decorate the tree then? Everyone will be here soon."

"Sure thing, I'll be out soon." Soul stood up.

"Thanks Soul" Maka smiled, walking away from his door.

Soul shifted over to his dresser, and grabbed a pair of blue denim jeans, along with dark blue long-sleeved shirt, with a similar logo to the one on his white headband. He quickly dressed and was now standing in front of his mirror, trying to decide if he should go without his black hair band or no headband. He ran his fingers through his spiky snow white hair and shook it out a bit, to get it just how he it liked it.

From there he walked into his bathroom and began his daily dental hygiene routine.

Finally finished, Soul made his bed and exited from his room.

"HEY SOUL!" Shouted a group of familiar faces.

"Heh. Hey guys" He smirked.

Liz and Patty were decorating the tree, while Kid was standing over them supervising, making sure everything was absolutely symmetrical. Soul's cheeks lit up.

"Hello Soul" Kid turned to the scythe boy.

"Hey Kid." He mumbled, avoiding eye contact with the meister.

"HEY! SOUL YOU GOTTA TRY THIS PIE!" Yelled the loud mouth blue-haired meister, waving a forkful of the delectable pie.

"Black*Star, Don't eat all of the pie!" Maka growled.

"The cookies are delicious, Maka!" Tsubaki complimented Maka's baking skills, as she took a bite from hers.

"Thanks Tsubaki!"

"So wrong Soul?" Asked Kid, placing his hand on the scythe's shoulder.

"Um no its nothing." He lied, blushing and smiling at Kid. "You should try Maka's pie, it really is good. She makes it every Christmas holiday season" Soul added

"Um...Thanks...I will..." Kid removed his hand and dropped it back down to his side. He could tell Soul was lying. He knew something was bothering him and he wanted to know.
