Disclaimer: I don't own Soul Eater

Summary: Soul did something uncool: he kissed Justin by accident! And it was just because he misread the signals...

Pairing: Justin/Soul

Warnings: Yaoi, few bad words, possibly OOCness

Yeah, don't ask. It was just a random idea that I had for a while and now I finally wrote it. It may seem short and a little rushed but I hope you will enjoy this story anyway.

And before you ask: yes, I ship Justin/Soul. Don't judge me. I don't know why I like this pairing, I just do. If you don't like the idea of Justin and Soul as a couple, please leave the story and leave no flames.

Soul sighed. He was bored, so he decided to take a walk in the city. So far, there aren't any mission for him and his meister yet and there was nothing to do at home. He could have visited one of his friends but they were all out for a mission and wouldn't be home until tonight.

Damn, what a boring day. A cool guy like me shouldn't be bored. Soul thought, annoyed with himself. Unbeknownst to him, Soul was in so deep thoughts that he didn't pay attention to where he was going and accidentally bumped into someone, causing the person to drop all their wares on the ground.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Soul apologized.

"It's okay. It was me who should apologize. I didn't pay attention to where I was going." the person assured and got down on their knees to gather the wares.

Soul recognized the person. It was Justin Law.

"Hey, aren't you that priest who once saved Maka, Crona and I from that crazy chainsaw guy? Justin, right?" Soul asked. Justin didn't reply, he was busy gathering his wares. Oh right, the earphones. Soul thought, remembering the earphones the priest was wearing. Soul sat down on his knees. He took out one of the earphones to get the Death Scythe's attention. It worked. Justin looked curiously at him. "Should I help you with that?" Soul offered.

Justin smiled at him. "Thanks but that won't be necessary." he replied and continued gathering his wares. When he made sure they are all in the plastic bag, Justin rose up on his feet. He put the earphone back to his ear. "You look familiar. Have we met before?" Justin asked, trying to remember where he had seen the albino weapon from.

Soul grinned. "Yeah, it was during that fight with the chainsaw guy." he explained and rose up on his own feet.

"Oh, that's right!" Justin beamed.

"I did mention that earlier but you didn't hear me because of your earphones."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I tend to ignore people by accident."

"Do you ever consider stop wearing them?"

"Huh?"

"It was just a suggestion though. You don't have to if you don't want to." Soul quickly added. Little did he know that at the moment he said it, a little ladybug fly randomly by and landed, for some reason, on Soul's snow-white hair. Justin noticed the ladybug and leaned a little to the boy - he had to because of their height difference. He moved slowly his hand to Soul's head to gently remove the ladybug from the scythe's hair. But unfortunately, Soul took it the wrong way.

His eyes widened and a light blush appeared on his cheeks. Oh my God, what is he doing? Is…is he going to kiss me? I barely know that guy! Okay, just relax, Soul. Oh Death, he's getting closer! Do something!

In a quick moment of desperation, Soul closed his eyes and leaned himself closer to Justin and their lips met. Justin blushed and his eyes widened in surprise of the sudden kiss. The kiss lasted for a second and Soul pulled himself away from Justin, his cheeks heating up.

The priest stared at him in utter surprise. "Why did you do that?" he asked. He wasn't angry, he was just confused. "Wait…you didn't want to kiss me?" the scythe asked, coming slowly to a realization. "Um…no, I was just trying to take the ladybug out of your hair." the priest explained. The scythe's red eyes widened in realization of his stupidity. Shit! I can't believe I did something so uncool! he thought and ran away in embarrassment.

"Hey wait, come back!" the priest called after him but it was too late. The albino scythe was already gone. As for the ladybug, it couldn't hold on Soul's hair any longer when he ran and fell out, then it flew safely away.

"You kissed Justin?" Maka asked after Soul told her what happened. They are in the park. "I misread his signals! I thought he was going to kiss me!" Soul defended himself, blush still showing on his cheeks.

He can't believe that he did something so uncool by mistake. He kissed a boy by accident and not just any boy. No, that boy was Justin Law! One of Shinigami-Sama's Death Scythes.

And it was all because he mistook Justin's actions.

"Please, I'm begging you! Don't tell this to anyone. My status as the cool guy will flush down the toilet if they finds out what I did!" Soul begged. He usually wasn't a guy who would beg but he was desperate. Maka held her hands up in the air. "Whoa, whoa, calm down. I promise I won't tell." she assured him.

"What do you think I should do, Maka?" Soul asked when he finally calmed down.

"How about apologize to Justin next time you see him?" Maka suggested. "I'm sure he'll forgive you. I mean, it was just an accident."

"I don't know if I can right now... I mean, I did something really stupid. What if he doesn't want to talk with me?"

"Oh, there you are."

Hearing the voice, Soul froze. He slowly turned his head to see Justin approaching him. "You've been following me?" Soul asked him when Justin have gotten close enough.

"Yes. I wanted to see how you are."

Soul looked annoyed at his feet and stuffed his hands in his pocket. "What do you think? I feel like a fucking idiot because I made a stupid mistake." he said angrily and kicked a pebble away. He looked up at Justin again. "Look…I'm sorry. I was just being an idiot and misread your signals." Soul apologized.

Justin smiled. "That's okay, I forgive you. Everybody makes mistakes."

"So, you're not mad that I kissed you?"

Justin shook his head, still smiling. "Not at all."

Soul smiled. "Well, I'm glad that everything is okay again." he said with a relief. Maka smiled too. "Yep, that went well." she agreed. The two partners turned their heels and was about to leave until Justin stopped them.

"Wait."

The scythe partners turned to the priest, both of them looking curiously at him. "What is it?" Soul asked. Justin didn't say anything. He just closed his eyes and placed his hands on the scythe's shoulders. He leaned to the smaller boy and kissed him on the lips, surprising both Soul and Maka. Soul blushed furiously. Just like the first time, the kiss lasted for a second before Justin pulled away.

Justin smirked. "I guess we're even now." he said teasingly before turning his heels and left.

"What just happened?" Soul asked when the priest was out of their sights.

Maka smirked. "I think that was his payback for misreading his signals."

It's funny how a ladybug can cause so much trouble.
