soul's pov

'am i seriously treating this relationship like a project?'

"may i be excused." i speak coldly to Lord Death especially after what he just said.

"Soul Eater Evans. You can't always run away from yourself." Lord Death sighed and signaled me to leave.

"I- i know. But i need to be alone right now." I tried to speak calmly even though my thoughts were racing like a jackrabbit in a bush fire.

"Soul," he sighed and then continued, "you may be excused."

"Thanks." I walked out, more like jogged, out of his 'office'.

I immediately headed towards the infirmary getting faster with each step. i needed to see if Kid was okay. I finally reached the infirmary after what felt like an eternity and i saw him. he was bandaged up and sleeping. he looked peaceful. I walked in the room and was immediately met by Stein.

"Soul Evans, hi" he smiled at me and i gave him a look of confusion, "No Soul I didn't dissect your little boyfriend. can you imagine what Death would do to me? cmon now"

"well i mean it's not like it wouldn't be out of character for you. anyways though, how's he doing?"

"well surprisingly he did not break any bones but it's also not surprising, he's practically invincible with being created by a shinigami," he kinda smirked when he said that but his face dropped as he continued, "Soul. i'm honestly surprised Ms. Albarn was able to do this much damage. Death the Kid should be waking up soonish. so i can leave if you want. but no doing anything stupid. or else" he said sinisterly.

"i understand..." and with that he walked out of the room. i sat down by Kid and held his hand gently. scared that if i held too tight i might break him. And though it was light, i felt him holding my hand as well.

"Soul, you know i'll be fine right." i jumped slightly when he spoke. and he chuckled.

"i know. you're a shinigami. you've been beat up by a hammer and ended up being fine. which does make me wonder, why didn't you fight back?" i get straight to the point.

"because a man should never lay a hand on a girl. especially a man who will become the next grim reaper." he kinda smiled and sounded as if it was an obvious answer. i simply looked at him, "yeah yeah okay maybe i should have fought back but i just couldn't bring myself to. i'm sorry Soul. now i look all stupid. in all these bandages. well i guess it's not the first time you've seen me like this." he looked down.

"I'm just glad you are okay."

Maka's pov
—

panic.

'oh god what- what have i done.'

panic.

'i don't think i meant to hurt him'

panic.

'no no no no no why did i do this.'

i ran to lord death hoping to confess my faults. i don't even understand why i did such a thing.

"Maka Albarns. i pray you have a great explanation." lord death spoke coldly.

"Lord death i-" i immediately broke down. i fell to my knees crying "Im sorry"

"you'll be suspended for a week."

"i understand. Lord Death i don't know what came over me"

"Maka, i know. i know you wouldn't do that. but i need to suspend you. i mean you hurt my son. a student. you are reckless right now. and i'm assuming its all because of Soul?" he spoke coldly once again.

"No! okay yes. But it's not fair! he breaks up with me because what? he's cheating on me? of course i'm gonna be upset. He was my boyfriend, my best friend and now he rarely talks to me. ITS NOT FAIR." i started crying and then felt stupid. "i'm sorry"

"I understand your anger. and i do agree that Soul's actions should not be overlooked." he spoke in a much calmer manner now. as if him being calm would help me calm down. which it did.

"so since i'm suspended do i stay home?"

"yes Maka. and i want you to apologize to my son at some point."

"Make sure Soul doesn't try to kill me." i sassed a little.

"Maka. this is serious."

"i know im sorry. i'll be going now?"

"yes you may be excused" he shooed me away.

the walk home felt longer than usual. once i stepped inside Blair immediately greeted me.

"Why so blue" she purred

"i beat up Death the Kid and got suspended." i looked down.

"me-OW! well jealousy does hurt. but damn! i think i would've suspended you too if you hurt my son." She snickered and walked away "imma take a bath now!"

"alrighty," i sighed and sat down on my couch. i immediately got my phone out and opened my notes app. i sighed and then started writing out my apology.

Dear Death the Kid and probably Soul because i'm assuming Death the Kid will show this to you,
   I want to sincerely apologize. for everything. It's been hard. knowing Soul left me, for you. don't get me wrong, you are an incredible being Kid, i'm just jealous. i thought what me and Soul had was perfect until our partners changed. i remember in that moment worrying that something was going to come between us. never did i think i would lose him to a boy. i feel stupid admitting that but it's true. Lord Death said i had the right to be upset. Soul did cheat on me with you, and that, i will never forget, maybe i can forgive, if given enough reason to. but until i'm given enough reason, he will not be forgiven. Kid, i'm sorry for hurting you like i did. there's absolutely no excuse as to why i did so much. i truly am sorry. i honestly don't know exactly why i did it. please forgive me. i never thought i could do such a thing to you. i regret it and it will never ever happen again. if it does, Soul can hurt me. more than he already has. Kid, be careful with Soul. make sure his intentions are true.

~Maka.

i turned off my phone and then headed to my room.

'i hope Kid forgives me'

~To be continued
