Soul Eater Evans x Reader ~ She Knew ~ One-Shot

And so I sat there at the top of the hill right after school, fiddling nervously with the note in my hands.

I couldn't reject the anxiety that was swelling up in my head, and oh, I was trying to snuff out the hope that was attempting to overflow as well.

I was wishing and hoping so badly that it was from ____. I don't know why. Dammit, or do I? I don't know! 

I froze as a pair of soft hands came around from behind my head and covered up my eyes.

As soon as the stranger giggled and spoke, I knew who they were. 

"Don't turn cold on me, Soul. I know you're a cool guy and all, but come on." ____ said with what I'm sure was a smile in her voice.

She removed her hands and made her way to sit down in front of me, patting any little dirt off her blue jeans, her knees just gently brushing against mine, as we sat criss-cross.

"Hi~" She simply said with her cute little voice.

And all my dumb, extremely happy ass could mutter was, "...Huh?"

Kill me now.

"Did you finally go brain dead?" She said wryly. 

I snapped out of whatever trance she had me in again and huffed at her comment to which she giggled.

Ugh. I could just feel my cheeks heating up.

"So I take it you're the one who left this for me?" I inquired, holding the note up between our faces, as if it would mask my embarrassment.

"Yup." ____ said simply, her smile never dimming. She plucked the little note from my hand and set it to the side, and suddenly I felt as thought my security vanished with that piece of paper. I wasn't gonna let her know that though. As far as she knows, I'm totally cool. Aloof.

"So, what's on your mind?" I asked coolly, leaning back on my hands that laid in the soft grass behind me.

It's not bad that I did that so I could think properly, right? Nah.

"Nothing really. I just wanted to talk is all. That cool with you?" ____ asked me, her fingers subconsciously twirling a lock of her (h/c) hair.

Hellyeahit'scoolwithme. 

Stop.

"Really? I'm sure something compelled you to strike conversation with me today. You never have before." 

Pfft! What was compelling me to inquire? If it were some other girl, I wouldn't care why because I know it's because I'm one of the coolest weapons ever. But for some reason that my stupid head couldn't grasp, I was enchanted by her.

Fuck, focus.

"Well, I guess for starters, I'd like to declare that I'm curious as to what you think of me." She stated, still twirling one of her locks of hair, her gaze never wavering from mine.

Frick.

"Wh-whaddya mean?" I was straining so hard right now to keep my fucking cool.

"I mean ____ and I noticed that you like to watch our practices. So I was curious as to what you think." 

Y'know, I could describe the feeling I just felt in that cliche way of, "I felt my heart sink 6 feet under," or something like that, and it still wouldn't suffice. 

I feel like Maka just chopped my head a million times a thousand. But on my heart. 

And my stomach.

"Uh, oh. Hahaha. You noticed, huh?" It's all good, Soul. Just play it cool, play it cool.

I was trying so hard to not look away. I did not wanna let my facade drop.

"Yeah, I did." ____ leaned forward, setting her hands on either side of my feet. "So I wanna know. What urged you to watch us practice? What was so interesting?"

What was so interesting?

I mulled the question over in my head as I stared with my ruby red eyes into ____'s (e/c) orbs, and like the idiot that I can be, I finally realized why.

It was her. 

Hahaha. I'm such a dumb ass, really. 

"To be quite honest, ____..." My heart jumped a bit when I noticed ____'s cheeks start to lightly flush pink when I mentioned her name, "You're probably the reason why." 

"O-oh..?" ____ asked, leaning back as I leaned forward, our positions slightly switched.

Call me crazy, because I sure as hell am at this moment, but the little flags that just waved in front of my face told me that ____ might feel the same way I do.

"I might be a little too forward in saying this, but I just realized that you're why I watch your practices." I really wish I could stop myself right now, but the again, I wasn't in a rush to keep the words that flowed out of my mouth at bay, "I just gotta let you know, ____, that I think you're incredible." 

____'s face was flushed red, and when she spoke it was so unbearably cute that it almost made my chest ache, "Re-re-really?" Wasn't she the one who came here ready to take control? Did she not anticipate this? 

I grabbed ____'s wrists and pulled her towards me, so that our faces were within just an inch of each others, and I was sure she could feel my warm breath against her face. "I really like you. Is that cool with you?" 

I didn't give her time to answer though. My lips hungrily pressed against hers. I was pretty sure that if I was wrong about her mutual feelings that this would be the time to discover so, but instead, her lips reciprocated to the kiss. 

It was heavenly. Greedily, we stole more and more, took in more of each others taste, and oh, did she taste delightful. Like chocolate strawberries, in fact. 

I barely noticed as it happened, but soon she was on top of me, my hands resting on the small of her back, and her body sunken into mine with her hands grasping my hair. 

I'm pretty sure at this point we were making out. 

I would be lying if I said that I've made out before, because I haven't. I was as inexperienced as the next guy. If that guy was Black*Star. I had to say though, I was missing out. Every time our mouths briefly parted for breath and her lips would mold back together, dancing once more, every time our tongues slid against one another, how wonderful it felt, how her hands tugged at my hair, but I had to stop.

I was scared.

It was almost stupid, but I didn't wanna do those things yet because I was scared of my teeth cutting her mouth or tongue. I didn't know if I could keep that from happening yet, so for now, I just wanted us to lay here. 

I just wanted to take a moment to assess if this was all a dream or not.

I parted our lips from each other, one of my hands reaching up to cup her cheeks.

____ smiled into my hand, one of the sweetest smiles I had seen yet from her, and her eyes were glowing, a sign of how real this was. 

"Haha. You're one cool kisser." I said lamely with a grin, as if she wanted to hear that. 

"And you're one cool guy." 

My heart warmed when ____ said that. I kissed her once more before letting her roll onto the grass next to me.

I forgot everything that happened before that day. I forgot the lessons I "learned", I forgot about Black*Star and his "Big Show", I forgot about everything. I just sat there and talked with ____ holding on to me for the rest of that day. It was euphoric and almost unreal, but I was so frikkin' happy about it all.

I also completely forgot about that homework I had.
