Move on, Maka Chapter 2

Maka sat quietly outside of the reception hall, her green eyes full of tears. She looked down at her hands folded in her lap. The scene from earlier continued to play through her head. The soft sounds of high heels clicking on the cement she was ripped from her depressing thoughts.

“Are you alright?” Tsubaki asked softly.

Maka nodded her blonde curls flowing in the gentle breeze. “Yeah I’m alright….”

Tsubaki sat down beside her and put a hand on her shoulder, “I saw what happened with Soul….”

The sandy blond looked back down at her lap as a fresh pool of tears formed in her eyes. She stayed silent as her leg shook, a nervous habit of hers that drove Soul nuts.

“You obviously aren’t fine Maka.” Tsubaki said as she rubbed Maka’s back gently.

“As long as he’s happy I’m happy….” Maka mumbled quietly as she stood up. She didn’t want to talk about it, she was sick and tired of crying and didn’t want to do any more of it.

Maka walked back inside and immediately a fresh pool of tears formed in her eyes. She watched as Soul removed the garter from his blushing bride. She wanted it to be her in that chair. Wanted to be the one that Soul loves forever…. But that will never happen.

Soul threw the garter behind him and stood up. He turned to look at Maka and when his wine red eyes met her forest green ones, a whole new wave of flashbacks flashed into her mind.

~~~~~

Maka stood in front of the stainless steel stove and stirred the stew in the pot in front of her. She still wasn’t over the Soul and Lily thing, she’s been avoiding Soul in as many ways as possible.

Surprisingly, Soul and her were having dinner by themselves tonight, normally Soul would invite his precious new girlfriend over for dinner…. Maka winced at her own thoughts, her jealously slipping out.

“Maka?” A deep gruff voice ripped her from her thoughts. “Can I talk to you about something?”

“Yeah? What is it?”

“Well I’ve been thinking…. and I don’t think we should be partners anymore.”
Maka almost dropped the plastic serving spoon she was using to stir the stew, “w-what?”

“I don’t think we should be partners anymore.” He said easily.

How could he be so smooth about something like this? If it was Maka telling him this she would be falling apart…. but then again… it was already like she didn’t exist in his life.

“May I ask why?”

“Well number one. You have been avoiding me like the plague and the only time you ever talk to me is missions and those ‘conversations’ normally end in arguments . Number 2 we are so out of sync it isn’t even funny. We can’t even complete a mission successfully.”

Maka hated to admit it….but he was right. They can’t even resonate in battle anymore...

“Yeah… you’re right… but who will you be partners with?”

“Well Lily and I have a strong resonance so her.”

Maka felt her recently patched up heart, shatter into a million pieces, “oh…. Alright so…. thats it huh… we aren’t partners anymore?”

“Well we need to tell lord death that this is what we want.”

Maka fought every urge that she had not to interrupt him to say that it’s what he wants. She couldn’t be in a worse situation, “alright we will talk to him tomorrow…”

And just like that the ‘strongest’ weapon, meister pair at DWMA was broken up.
