Soul Eater: Black Blood Epilogue

Soul Eater
~Black Blood~
Epilogue
Aftermath
* * *
In the Crescent Moon class, everyone awaited their teacher, Dr. Stein’s, arrival. Soul and Maka uncomfortably sat by each other. They were still trying to get over what happened the past couple weeks. Even so, neither could wait for Soul’s recovery party after school.
Maka was busy reading a book and Soul had his elbows on the table and tried to space out. He had trouble zoning-out with all the noise so he just there with his eyes looking around the room. He looked back at Maka, who continued to read.
They’ve become so distant. Now, they’re just Weapon and Meister. Maka’s gonna suck at the party, if I don’t cheer her up, Soul thought. But I’m not gonna do some lame joke like her desperate dad.
Maka was looking over the pages of a book she’s read count-less times when her pigtail was tugged on as Soul wrapped his finger around it.
“Ow! Soul, what are you doing?” Maka angrily asked as she lowered her book and tried to turn to him. He put on a fake innocent face.
“What?” Soul asked playfully, “Can’t a Weapon hurt his Technician a little?”
Maka’s anger formed into a grin. He was messing with her. She shut her book and lifted it.
“Makaaaa-” she began. Soul stiffened.
“Wait, wait, wait, wait-” he tried to stop her.
“Chop!” she slammed the book on his forehead and he laid his head the desk. Does she have any idea how much that friggin hurt? Soul thought. He sat up and glared at her.
“What the heck was that for?” Soul yelled. Maka used the same innocent look Soul used.
“What? Can’t a Technician hurt their Weapon a little?” Maka asked and had to smile. Soul blinked then grinned. She was using what he said against him.
“I guess so,” he replied and continued to tug on her pigtail. Even though Soul’s tugging hurt, Maka couldn’t help but laugh.
“Ha, ha-ow-ha, ha-ow-ha-ow-ha, ha, ha!” she laughed breathlessly and tried to hit Soul with the book but he had hold of her wrist and she couldn’t move.
“Okay-ow-okay, Soul. Okay, okay, okay,” Maka told him to stop. He finally let go and the two sat quietly in their seats. They glanced at each other and started to laugh again. Stein rushed in the room riding his office chair but fell at the doorway. Soul and Maka tried to stop laughing and managed to when Stein got up, sat back on the chair then started class.
