Part 1: You Just Know

"Hey, Maka." Soul called from his room. He found his meister in front of the television. She looked like a child, with her feet tucked under her body as her gaze shifted to the glowing object in front of her to her weapon.

"What's up, Soul?" Maka asked with a smile.

"Well… uh… Let's go out to eat tonight." Soul said, hiding his blush. "My treat."

Maka stood up and stretched. "That sounds nice." She looked down at her clothes. "But let me change first. It's not really cool to go out in sweats…"

"Soul honestly thought she looked fine. But who was he to tell her that? She probably just wanted an excuse to put clothes on.

Maka came out momentarily in a red off the shoulder tunic, grey skinny jeans, and black hi tops. Her ever present ponytails rested on her shoulders.

"So, where are we going?"

"Well," Soul said, "there's a place in the middle of the city I wanted to try out."

"Sounds good." Maka said. "I'm in."

"Then let's go." Soul said, holding out his arm for Maka. She giggled and took his arm, and walked with him out the door.

Soul drove them to a new restaurant in the middle of the city that said all kinds of food, from everywhere. Maka got authentic Italian pasta while Soul got something French.

Maka looked up from her food and smiled. "You've been taking me out a lot lately. Are these your versions of dates?"

Soul looked up. "Do you see them as dates?"

Maka blushed and smiled again. "W-well… yeah, kinda…"

"Then they're dates." Soul smirked . Maka smiled and took a fork full of pasta and put it in her mouth. After that, they strolled around the city arm in arm.

The next day at lunch, the two of them made sure to meet up with each other. They found a good spot on the room and sat down. Maka fixed her mini skirt, making Soul grumble.

"What?"

"I can't believe you still wear miniskirts." Soul said.

"Well, I can't just wear my Spartoi uniform everywhere. And since Liz and the girls helped me with my wardrobe, they found a LOT of miniskirts. I can't just not wear them." Maka replied.

"Sure you could. It's pretty simple." Soul said.

"What's with you all of a sudden? You didn't hate my skirts before. I think I look nice in them." Maka said before crossing her arms.

"That's the problem! You look TOO nice!"

Maka puffed out her cheeks. "You are such an idiot! You have nothing to be worried about!"

"And how do I know you won't turn mushy brained by some guy who just comes up to compliment you?" Soul yelled back.

"MAKA-CHOP!"

Soul collapsed right there, his head landing on Maka's lap. Maka sighed, but started running her fingers through his hair comfortingly.

"Hey, Soul."

"Yeah?"

"How would you describe our relationship?" Maka asked. Soul intertwined his fingers with her.

"Well, ours is one of those relationships that are pretty much understood. We know exactly how the other one feels, so we don't need to put a label on it. If we did, it would just ruin what we have" Soul looked at her with a relaxed smirk. "Or something like that."

Maka smiled and leaned over, kissing Soul on the forehead. "Not everything that comes out of your mouth is dumb." She smiled.

"Pfft." Soul replied. "Is that supposed to be a compliment or something?"

"Well I can always take it back, if you want." Maka said, turning her smile to a smirk.

"No thanks. I'm too lazy and comfortable to get into an argument right now. Come back in a cuple hours." Soul replied.

Maka just giggled and started running her fingers through Soul's hair again.

After school, Maka and Soul left the school, hand in hand. Little did they know that the rest of their team was watching them.

"You guys," Liz started. "please tell me I'm not the only seeing this."

"Don't worry, I think we're seeing the same things you are." Tsubaki said, equally shocked.

"YO! HOW DID THEY THINK THEY COULD KEEP SECRETS FROM THE MIGHTY BLACK STAR!"

Patty punched him in the face. "Shut the hell up, you moron!"

"Black Star, you have absolutely no class." Kid said as he watched the couple with burning curiosity. This was so interesting to him.

"Why is my daughter holding hands with HIM?"

The group quickly turned around and saw Spirit with pillars of flames behind him. If loos could kill, Soul would be dead a thousand times over.

"Oh, Mr. Albarn, don't worry." Tsubaki said calmingly. "It's not like he can't take care of her."

"Plus, wouldn't you rather her go out with him than some knuckle head like Black Star?" Liz said. Spirit looked at Black Star pitifully.

"I guess…"

"Well, maybe you should follow them." Black Star suggested. "You know, to make sure they don't do any sneaky business."

"You're right! After all, I am her father! I have to protect her! It's my job!" Spirit yelled, running after Maka and Soul. Everyone look at Black Star.

"What? You wanted to know too!" Black Star replied.

"Yes, but knowing him, he's going to blow everything out of proportion." Kid replied.

"But it also may be funny…" Liz said. "maybe we should follow them…"

"Now THAT'S a plan!" Black Star yelled. "Now, you can all be awesome ninja's like me!" He said, running off.

"I don't think we should…" Tsubaki said. "I mean, what if they don't want people to know?"

"Of course they do! They just don't know it yet, that's all!" Liz said cheerfully. She took her sister's hand, and ran after Black Star. Kid sighed.

"Shall we, Tsubaki?" He asked Tsubaki dropped her head in defeat.

"I think I'm just going to go home… I need to start on dinner anyways…"

"Then I'm stuck with babysitting." Kid sighed. He got on Beelzebub and waved goodbye to Tsubaki as he hovered off.

Spirit snuck around every corner, trying to hide in every shadow behind Maka and Soul. He kept glaring at the latter, who would do little things to show affection, like squeezing Maka's hand, or drawing her closer to him.

"He's a monster…!" Spirit sobbed. "Don't worry princess! Daddy will save you!"

Liz, Patty, and Black Star, and Kid weren't far from Spirit. But in all honesty, they probably could have been behind him in a bulldozer, and he wouldn't even notice them.

"Wow…" Liz stated. "It's like they're an official couple. They're the last people I thought would get into a relationship. Ever."

"Just because they aren't crazy about the opposite sex like you are, Liz, doesn't mean they aren't interested." Kid replied.

"Sh!" Black Star said harshly. "You have to be quiet to be a ninja!"

Maka sighed with frustration. She couldn't hold it back any longer. Soul caught sight of this.

"What's wrong?"

"We have followers." Maka said. Soul turned around slightly and saw Spirit right behind them, and Liz, Patty, Black Star, and Kid behind him.

"Wow… Even Kid…" Soul said, turning back around.

"I think he's just babysitting." Maka replied. "Still, I don't like an audience."

Soul looked around and saw an alley big enough for two people. Or one person with a weapon.

"I have a plan." Soul said. "Just follow my lead, okay?" He said, drawing her closer to himself. She blushed and smiled, and let him pull her into the alleyway. This little act made the whole group gasp and run after them. But when they group got there, there was no one.

"Where'd they go?" Liz asked.

"Up here!"

Everyone looked up in the air and found Maka standing on the handle of Soul's scythe form. She gave them all a smirk.

"Guess you guys forgot about my soul perception. I knew you were following us the whole time."

"But Maka-!" Spirit started. Maka held out her hand to stop him, and took a seat.

"See you later!" Maka said as Soul flew off with Maka waving goodbye.

"Way to make an exit. Very cool." Soul said. Maka swore she could hear a smirk in his voice.

"Yeah, well, it was your plan." Maka smiled. She looked at his wings and her smile grew bigger and softer.

"I can't get over how pretty these are…"

"There more yours than mine, angel." Soul said jokingly. It's because of your soul."

Maka giggled, and closed her eyes, letting the wind hit her face. "We haven't been up here in a while. I like it."

"Yeah." Soul replied. "Me too."

After a while, the two decided it was time to go home. They reached their apartment in a matter of minutes. But before Soul could get into the house, Maka stopped him.

"I think I owe you a thank you." She smiled. She got on her tip toes and placed her lips on Soul's gently. Soul wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. After a minute, they broke apart.

"Well, you're welcome." Soul smirked. Maka just giggled and pulled apart from him to open the door. They walked in to find Blair sitting cross-legged on the couch.

"So, where have you two been?"

"Out." Soul replied simply. Blair pouted.

"Not fair! I'm curious!"

"Don't you know? Curiosity killed the cat." Soul smirked.

As Maka watched the two argue, she felt her phone start buzzing in her pocket. She answered the phone calmly.

"Hello?"

"Maka, I'm so sorry about Black Star!" Tsubaki cried. "I didn't think he'd be that stupid!"

"It's fine. I knew we'd attract some attention." Maka said.

"O-oh…" Tsubaki replied. "About that… Are you two… You know…?"

"Hm… Let's talk about this tomorrow, okay? It's a little complicated…"

"Oh, sure. No problem." Tsubaki said. "And I'll bring Liz and Patty along, too. It was sort of their plan to follow you in the first place."

"Okay. See you tomorrow." Maka said before hanging up.

"So, the questioning has already started." Soul said. "How wonderful."

"Oh, you knew it was going to happen." Maka said, rolling her eyes.

"Yeah, well I was hoping I wouldn't have to deal with Black Star so soon."

Maka just put her apron on. "Well, better you than me. You and Tsubaki are the only people who can deal with him and still maintain sanity."

"But, you've known him longest." Soul said. "Doesn't that count for something?"

Maka smiled sweetly. "It doesn't count for jack." Soul just sighed and turned on the TV. Blair tilted her head in confusion.

"Blair still doesn't know what's going on!"

The next day, during lunch, Tsubaki called Maka over with Liz and Patty.

"Now spill!" Liz said. "what is going on with you and Soul? And don't give me that, 'it's complicated,' bull either!" She said. "You to HAVE to be dating!"

"Well, we are and we aren't. I guess we're going through all the technicalities of dating without labeling it. If we did that, in the end… we'd end up hurting or disappointing each other, I guess…" Maka said carefully.

"That's deep." Liz said. "Dating without dating. I guess I could see how it'd be confusing."

"What's so confusing about it?" Patty asked. "It's really romantic."

"I agree." Tsubaki said with a smile. Suddenly the girls heard a rustle in the bush. Spirit popped out with tears in his eyes, and snot on his face.

"B-but Maka…! Why him! Why not a nice boy like your Papa…?"

"That's the exact kind of person I don't need!" Maka said, throwing a book at him.

Patty fell into hysterics while Liz shook her head. "He will never learn. He'll still be doing these kinds of things at their wedding."

"What wedding." Maka said, crossing her arms. "I'm eloping so Papa can't embarrass me!"

"So, you'd marry him!" Patty said. Maka blushed.

"I'm only fifteen! And I never said who!" Maka said with a playful smirk. Liz looked at her sister.

"50 bucks says 18." Patty said. Liz smirked.

"I say 20's when they'll get married."

"You're on!" Patty smirked. She looked at Tsubaki. "Want in on the bet?"

"Oh, no! I'm not a betting person." Tsubaki smiled. Maka rolled her eyes.

"Unbelievable…" She said before taking a bite of her sandwich.

After school, Soul and Maka started to make their way home.

"So, how did Black Star respond?" Maka asked.

"Just like you'd expect. He cursed a lot, and yelled at me for not saying anything. When he was done, Kid asked all the questions, then Black Star started a bet on when we'd get married. He says $50 for next year." Soul sighed.

"Liz says 20, and Patty says 18." Maka said. Soul sighed again.

"We're only 15 That's the last thing on my mind."

"Me too." Maka said. "But you know, if that ever DID happen, you'd have to say something. I wouldn't just know."

"I'd do it in a cool way. Don't worry." Soul said wrapping an arm around her waist.

"I know. And I'm not worried. But we have to wait until after 21 if it happens."

"Why?"

"We win $150." Maka smirked.

Soul laughed. "No wonder you're the smart one."

Okay, so that's part one. By the way they're all one shots. And for those that are reading, I may actually discontinue the other two stories that are on the backburner… Sorry if you liked them, but don't worry too much because they are still on my laptop, and flash drive. When I actually get inspired to write more for them, I'll put them back up, okay? So please review~!
