I am so excited to write my first Soul x Maka! I've been in love with Soul Eater ever since it was introduced to me by a friend around a year ago, and I've wanted to write something for them ever since. I've started a lot of little things, but threw them away after a few hundred words, but here we are now.

Thanks to Flipomatic, who helped with the story idea.

Disclaimer: I, Baxter54132, do not own Soul Eater.

Enjoy!

It was, strange to say the least. The day started like any other, when suddenly, during third period, Soul leaned over and murmured that he would prepare dinner tonight, even though it wasn't his turn.

Without even thinking about why, Maka had agreed whole heartedly, who doesn't love having food cooked for them?

As the day continued to pass, she began to wonder, what did Soul want? Was something bothering him? Did he find another meister? Maybe he turns into a panda instead of a scythe now… To say the least, by time dinner rolled around, Maka had come up with 100 different scenarios, and none of them were pleasant.

However, nothing would prepare her for the truth…

Soul watches Maka and Blaire closely as they examine his cooking job. He made creamy Fettuccine Alfredo pasta filled with shrimp and crab.

Maka twists one noodle around her fork and lifts it to her lips before carefully taking a nibble. She nods, and Soul relaxes in his seat. Cooking is not his strong point, but Spirit had said earlier that "his Maka" loves Fettuccine Alfredo.

Soul picks up his own fork and begins to eat, putting his situation aside for a moment to enjoy the pasta.

"So… What's up?" Maka inquires, curious as to Soul's abnormal behavior.

Soul takes a deep breath, and Maka can see him visibly tense up. "Well… do you remember when I told you about my brother?"

Maka nods. Blaire looks up from her food, sensing that something juicy is about to be spilled.

"He is coming into town tomorrow, and he called around a month ago saying he wants to have dinner."

"Alright, so you want us to clear out for the night?" Maka can't help but feel relieved at this news.

Soul pushes his pasta around with his fork nervously, "Not quite. For a long time, Wes has been bothering me about getting a girlfriend."

"Oh no…" Maka feels a sense of dread wash over her, as she realizes where this is headed.

"So you told him you have one?" Blaire cuts in, a Cheshire grin growing on her face.

Soul nods with a groan, "Yea, and now he wants to meet her."

A moment of silence takes the group, with Blaire beaming knowingly at the two teens.

"After much thought, I have come up with a plan."

Maka sinks into her seat a little, but in her mind, she's accepted the inevitable. Clearly, Soul is going to ask her to fake for him, which in all honesty, she is more than happy to do, but of course, Soul isn't going to know that.

"Blaire," Soul directs his attention to the cat on his left, "Will you pretend for me?"

In that instant, Maka nearly spits out her food in shock, which is covered up by Blaire's heavy laughter.

"What?" Maka jumps out of her seat, but Soul just stares at her cooly, amused by her reaction.

"Yes Maka?" Their eyes connect, and Maka feels her blood boil. He tricked her. Soul knew she would be expecting him to ask her, so he asked Blaire instead, although that might be giving him too much credit.

After a moment of thought, she sits back down and retorts, "I doubt your brother will believe it. Blaire is far too old, and far too good looking for someone like you."

Soul merely shrugs, "I think he will, you don't know my brother."

Blaire cuts in before a fight breaks out, "Actually, I'm sorry Soul, but I can't. I already have plans for tomorrow night. I think Maka would be perfect for the role!"

Maka blushes a dark red and burns her eyes into her plate, "No way!"

Maka can feels Soul's eyes on her, as if they are seeing right into her soul. "That's right… you're a girl. Hmm."

Maka crosses her arms and rises from the table angrily. "I won't be anyone's second choice, just go find someone off the street."

Maka storms off with a huff, leaving Soul and Blaire alone at the table.

Soul lets out a sigh and stands up to clear the plates, "that was so uncool…"

Blaire grabs Maka's plate and passes it to Soul, showing him a smile of encouragement. "It's ok, I think if you go talk to her, she'll come through for you. I'll do the dishes tonight."

"Thanks," Soul excuses himself and goes down the hall to Maka's door, which has been slammed shut.

He gently knocks three times, and can hear some rustling on the other side of the door.

"Go away," A voice echoes out, clearly still angry with the situation.

"Can we talk please?" Soul asks through the door, trying to sound as soothing as possible.

Maka doesn't respond, and for a moment, Soul thinks he is never going to be let in, but then, the door swings open, and Maka turns her back on him to go sit on her bed.

"I'm sorry if I upset you," Soul mumbles out his apology as he steps into the room. "I wasn't being very cool was I? I really do need your help though." Soul rubs one hand through his hair awkwardly as he waits for Maka's response.

"Why me?" She asks, surprising the white haired teen.

Soul sits down next to her on the bed, thinking deeply about his response. "Well, there is no one who knows me better than you, and certainly no one who is cooler than you, plus, your abilities as a meister will impress Wes."

Maka looks up and meets Soul's eyes, "You really think so?"

Soul nods, truly appreciating his amazing meister, "Definitely, and think of it this way. It is only for one night. If we convince him, my whole family will believe him, and they'll get off my back."

"Fine," Maka smiles slightly and places her hand onto Soul's, "One night."

As Wes Evans packs his backpack for travel, he can't help but to feel excited. Soon, he will see his brother again after so many years, and he gets to meet his supposed girlfriend.

He had already made a bet with his dad on whether this girl actually exists or not. He bet yes, his dad bet no. Why not give Soul the benefit of the doubt?

His phone buzzes in his pocket, and he pulls it out, excited to see Soul's name pop up on the screen. He flips it open and raises it to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey."

"Hey there little brother, how are you?"

"Good, I just wanted to confirm everything for tomorrow."

"Alright, I'm coming around 7, and I'll see you and your girlfriend then. What was her name again?"

"Her name is Maka Albarn…"

There we go, this is going to be a two-shot. One introduction chapter, and then the closer with the brother.

Let me know what you think, please review!
