Soul was giddy all day. He bounced up and down once he heard Maka was coming back. His miester had gone on a miester only trip, which Soul couldn't tag along. It's been about a month and even though that's not long, he missed her.

Recently the weapon and his miester had gotten together, maybe about a month or two before she left. It was the happiest time he's ever experienced, other than meeting her. Ever since they got together the pair were basically tied to the hip. They stayed together and about a week before she left, they would sneak into each other's room at night and cuddle for hours.

Soul nearly knocked over the cake thinking about her returning. His left arm slided along the decorative cake causing the table to rumble.  The weapons got together and decided to throw a small party for their returning miesters. Tsubaki had been in charge of food, but Soul had to decorate the cake, not cool. Patti and Liz had to set up decorations.

"How much longer?" Whined the impatient weapon. Soul positioned the cake before finishing Maka's name on the cake.

"Patience Soul-kun. She'll be here soon." Mused Tsubaki.

"Yeah! About ten minutes now." Patti giggled throwing a balloon in the air to deflate. 

"Yep. Kid just texted me saying they got off the plane." Liz chimed in, reaching on her tip toes to put up one more balloon on the side of the "Welcome Back!" poster. Tsubaki walked over to the cake, gave Soul a sideways smile, trying not to hurt the weapon's feelings on his poor craftsmanship, then took it to the coffee table. There were chips and other snacks as well in the middle of the table. She then made sure there was no messes or anything out of place, cleaning up a small pile of magizines Soul decided not to put back in his room.

"Kid said their at the apartment entrance!" Liz screamed, a little to dramatic. SHe rushed over to the sign flailing her arms and reassuring herself everything was perfect. Soul swears her obsession is a almost as bad as Kid's, almost. Liz had made sure Kid was happy with symmetry so Liz and Patti were on the right side of the poster, Liz on the outside, and Soul and Tsubaki on the left side, Tsubaki on the outside. There were loud footsteps in the hall and some shouting from the great idiot himself. Soul looked over to Tsubaki who smiled and tinted red on her cheeks. It was almost cute how they cared for each other, and Tsubaki was the one to get excited to see him. Soul believes it should be the other way around because they all knew Black*Star is going to end up alone. The weapons heard the keys insert in the lock and jingle. Maka walked in first, ecstatic to see Soul. She jumped a little when her friends yelled "Surprise!" Soul gave her a small wink and in return she gave him a giggle.

"Aww, guys." She walked over to Tsubaki and gave her a hug with Liz and Patti joining in. The guys gave high fives then walked over to their girls. It was ironic how all of them seemed to hook up. Soul grabbed Maka and hugged her tight, she smiled and wedged her head between the grove of his neck. Maka rested against him, taking in his scent that she missed so much. It wasn't that she smelled him when they sometimes crawled into each other's bed at night but because his smell always comforted her. Tsubaki was pulled into a hug from Black*Star who looked like he was going to cry, he would not shut up about his 'goddess.' Liz walked over to Kid who completed her about being perfectly symmetrical. Patti giggled when she leaped on Crona who blushed slightly from her contact. The gang laughed and talked the rest of the night, eating the cake and snacks along the way. It was Soul who brought up the small gifts the weapons decided to give their miesters.

"Oh right! Black*Star I've got something for you too~" sang Tsubaki. Liz and Patti nodded simultaneously before pulling out small boxes. The boxes were all different colors, each their miesters favorite color. Kid and Liz sat across the couch from Maka and Soul with Patti and Crona on a small couch. Tsubaki shared a seat with Black*Star to the left of Soul and Maka's couch.  All the weapons handed their miesters, except Patti who gave hers to Crona, a small box. Maka glanced at the box and back at Soul.

"Go on." He reassured her. The blonde opened the box to find a bracelet saying  'Miester Maka' on it. Soul held up his hand, triumphantly, which had a bracelet saying 'Weapon: Soul Eater.' Maka beamed at her boyfriend before giving him a quick peck on the cheek. The metal was slick and cold to the touch. It instantly warmed to her touch when he placed it on her wrist. Soul and Maka cuddled with each other, a blanket on top of them, while the group talked. Her arm found its way on his chest while his arm snaked around her petite waist, their legs entangled.

"You know I've missed you." Soul said as he played with one of Maka's pigtails. Her hair was slightly curled at the end of her pigtail, letting his finger curl it more. Soul could tell she used the strawberry shampoo he bought her last week. Don't ask why he did errands that day. 

"I missed you, too, but I was only gone for a month." She giggled. He chuckled slightly and rested his head on hers. Everyone was watching the couple, even though everyone had their own partner those two were the ones everyone wanted to see get together.

----------------------------------------------

Soul gave Black*Star a high five in the hall before he left. Black*Star's boots stomped half way down the hall before turning.

"So, you give it to her?" His tone mellow. 

"Of course. I'm just that cool." Soul said and gave his signature smirk.

"What's it say, man?" Black*Star questioned, even though he already knew the answer. Black*Star and Kid both knew about the bracket Soul gave to Maka, Soul had called Black*Star and told him his plan. The other miester's weren't expecting to get one though, a nice surprise to come home to. 

Soul smirked, "On the outside Miester Maka. But on the inside," he paused for dramatic affect, "property of Soul." Black*Star let out an obnoxious laugh before slapping him on the back. His slap lurched Soul a small bit forward, causing him to stumble. 

"Does she know?"

Even though Soul and Maka had only been together a few months they had gotten pretty serious. Soul was very protective of Maka. If a guy even looked at her he would have to resist the urge to beat the shit out of him. The gift was just his way of making hers his. It's not creepy, it's love. 

He smirked again,"No idea."
