Life in Soul Eater (an X Reader fanfic)

Maka Chop

3rd Person POV

"Maka, I'm ready. Let's go!" said Soul. He stopped when he saw Maka sitting at her desk, face buried in her arms. "I'm such an idiot. I couldn't protect Crona. I-I couldn't even protect you back then. You could've died. Now, I've failed Crona too," she muttered.

Neither of them said anything. What was Soul going to do? Tell her to stop being such a crybaby? Tell her that she was indeed a failure?

Thump!

 Maka looked up at Soul in surprise. Her partner had just hit her head softly with her novel. "Maka, I'll make sure to be there to pull you back up. So don't worry about failing. Cool guys don't let their partners handle it all on her own, right?" he said. 

Maka got up. "Thanks, Soul. Let's go!" she said. As she followed Soul out the door, she rubbed the spot on her head where he had hit her with a book gently. "Is this his own version of the Maka Chop?" she thought, blushing.

Author's Note: I got this idea from the fanart that I chose above. I thought it would be really cute if Soul Maka-chopped Maka gently when she's down. Thank you and please comment!
