1. Magic

When he first pushed her against their apartment wall and starting trailing rough kisses along her collarbone, Maka thought she recognized traces of it on his soul; the cat giggling behind her paws around the corner just solidified the fact.

2. Lubricant

He would forever deny just how red his face went when she first held up the bottle labeled 'Blade Polish'.

3. Lemon

It was after her fifth sip, and her fifth consecutive puckered-face, that he finally grabbed her cup with a sigh and replaced it with his own, strawberry, drink.

4. Dirty

Soul could only choke and sputter when, after their third mission as partners, she answered his 'You need to go clean that cut on your thigh' with a defiant 'You do it'.

5. Fight

On the whole, their fights were never serious, Soul pointed out; except, Maka returned as he fell into her hands with practiced grace, when they were fighting someone else: "Your soul is mine."

6. Cute/Sweet

Maka could never understand how, in the morning after every mission, she never failed to wake up in her bed with the covers tucked in, despite the fact the she distinctly remembered crashing on the couch the night before.

7. Ink

"Nu-uh, we're drawing the line at motorcycles and leather jackets."

8. Strength

It was funny how, when asked later on, they could never remember who carried who, but they could always remember making it home together.

9. Now

When she held out her hand and her voice hardened into steel, Soul didn't even know the meaning of the word 'hesitation'.

10. Warmth

Soul had never considered green a warm color -it was the color of trees and plants and cool things like that- but, as he looked into her eyes across the quickly closing space between them, he couldn't deny the heat there.

11. Hot Chocolate

If it was the only way to get her to stop take a break once in awhile, then Soul would gladly stoop to bribery: "I've got marshmallows and cinnamon in it."

12. Pictures

After second time that she'd been stood up by her Papa, Maka noticed that most of her photo albums had mysteriously disappeared; it was only after they reappeared full of more recent -and decidedly better- memories that she discovered the culprit.

13. Light

Sometimes in the night, after he'd had an attack from the black blood or they'd skipped that close to insanity again, he'd whisper against her neck that she shouldn't be near dark people like him; Maka would just thread their fingers together a bit tighter and tell him that light was overrated anyway.

14. Again

Heavy pants alone filled the empty training room's silence, until the clang of metal hitting the floor would come and a ragged voice would order 'Again' over and over until they -she- got it right.

15. Hands

Soul would always remember the time when he'd nonchalantly asked why she always wore gloves while fighting, then laughed when she retorted that she liked her hands soft and un-callused; but now, as her hands traced delicate shapes over his bare chest, he'd gladly admit to liking them soft as well.

16. Flowers

Maka had always put up a powerful front around everyone else, but Soul alone had seen her hardened eyes grow misty over a few crushed buds.

17. Time

Maka had always assumed that building a stable relationship took time, but Soul decided that shortcuts were way better the second her lips touched his.

18. Swords

Soul never expected to feel jealous of anything, it wasn't cool, but when he caught Maka staring longingly at the practice swords in the armory, he couldn't help but send them a biting glare as he dragged her away.

19. Darkness

'Why is everything black and red' Maka asked, reminiscing her trip into his soul-scape; 'It's who I am,' he would shrug and reply, wondering about hers.

20. Mouth

Maka was adamant; who cares if his teeth made kids cry and strangers whisper 'demon' behind their hands, she would never dream of having her partner any other way.

21. Leather

Maka would never admit the exact, definite reason why she bought him a new, leather, jacket after the first was ruined.

22. Heartless

No matter how many times he offered, in a growling tone, to check, Maka would always just sigh wearily and assure him that her father was not, in fact, heartless.

23. Truce

"Okay fine, I burned the curry; now can I please move back into the bedroom?"

24. Cocky

Maka would forever deny it; but everyone, Soul most of all, could see the swagger in her step and the way she displayed her three-star meister I.D. a little too proudly.

25. Shorts

Maka met every gasp that morning at school with a confused look, but still didn't find out what was so surprising until Soul quirked a brow and observed: "Nice shorts."

26. Cold

One night in the frozen London streets was enough to make Maka glad that her particular scythe would never frost over.

27. Clean

Usually there was no way Maka would ever go to bed covered in blood and dirt, but this time, as her partner's soft snores ruffled her hair and it was all just too damn comfortable to do anything, she decided to let it slide.

28. Metal

Sometimes, when a familiar metallic weight was resting in her palm and her soul was thrumming happily along with another, Maka was sure that nothing could ever go wrong again.

29. Headache

Soul said that reading made his head hurt, but Maka noticed that he got through comics and bike magazines well enough despite the fact.

30. Winner

"Lottery?" green eyes pulled down into a slight frown, "What do I need that I don't already have?"

31. Break

"But there was b-blood and darkness, then you wouldn't answer and I thought-!" she stopped when he gently took her clammy hands into his -rough, warm, alive- own, "I know."

32. Smooth

Soul had always prided himself on being cool, but he couldn't help but stutter every single time he asked his partner out on a date.

33. Canonize

It didn't take long for Soul to realize that he could lose anything -his friends, his home, his life- except her.

34. Impressive

Soul had always known Maka was flexible, he just hadn't realized how flexible.

35. Mirror

Three months after Soul became the Deathscythe, Maka vaguely realized that the number written on the mirror had stopped being Shinigami's.

36. Beauty

Maka's cheeks still stained red every time she remembered the look in his eyes when he'd first told her that it wasn't Blair he found beautiful.

37. Experience

Soul should've expected the black eye he received after he loudly assured her that: "It's even better the second time" in a public place.

38. Faith

When they got home that night, stripped of all their hard work and weary to the bone, Maka watched Soul go about making dinner and swore never to doubt him again.

39. Eye catch

Despite the masks covering every face in the room, Soul could never overlook the particular green orbs fixed on his own.

40. Library

When they both finally discovered the one place in the school that was big enough for nobody to ever find them, Soul had no problem declaring the library as his new favorite place too.

41. Submissive

It didn't take Soul long to realize that his "yes master" after every command during training was not appreciated.

42. Improper times

As the kinshin's blood soaked the pavement and it's final cry melted into silence, Soul couldn't help himself: "Your sexy when you kill things."

43. Rain

As the pattering rain slowly washed the world away around her, and Soul leaned over to let his jacket cover them both, Maka was content to just stand and watch for once.

44. Essential

Over the years, no matter how many others they worked with or how long they were separated, they'd always wander unfailingly back toward each other, just to twine souls one more time.

45. Reason

Maybe once, just this once, for her he'd study; but there was still going to be hell to pay when he got a hold of whoever made up the concept of 'meister-weapon-joint-grade-averages'.

46. Strategy

Soul, honestly, did not know how writing the plan down was going to help them kill the witch any faster than thinking on the spot would.

47. Cave

When she suddenly stepped closer and pressed her new chest onto his arm, then lightly asked if he saw any bats, Soul had no problem replying through a heavy nosebleed that yes, yes he did.

48. Bike

Even Maka, bookworm extraordinaire, had to loudly admit, over the wind in her hair and the roaring engine, that this was exhilarating; Soul just howled in agreement and pushed the bike to go a bit faster.

49. Water

Maka only gripped that much tighter onto the scythe in her hand when she realized that she couldn't swim with the dead weight.

50. Color

It was safe to say -when asked their favorite- that she would forever reply with a quick 'Red' and he with a firm 'Green'.
