1. Motion
The pre-kishin’s too fast, much too fast, and it’s going to get her, going to - a nimble swerve to the side and Maka is able to swing her scythe down, tearing the monster apart; Soul lets out the breath he had been holding.
2. Cool
She’s much better at being it than he is, but that doesn’t mean he has to tell her - he doesn’t want a repeat of the whole angel fiasco.
3. Young
If she thinks about it, really thinks about it, it must have been hard for her parents to have only been teenagers when she was born; she looks at Soul, wondering how they would cope if it happened to them - then freaks out, because why the hell did she automatically think of him?
4. Last
When they’re first partnered Soul is convinced that he’ll switch to someone else within a week; little does he know that he’s going to stay with that small, pig-tailed girl for the rest of his life.
5. Wrong
The first (and only) time he beats her in a test she doesn’t come out of her room for a week - he’s a little offended when he discovers that she’d spent the whole time desperately studying, mortified by the result.
6. Gentle
He would be jealous of the wary way Maka always pays close attention to Crona, carefully making sure that everything is as non-threatening and harmless as could possibly be - except that, he realizes with a small smirk, he wants her to be much rougher with him than that.
7. One
‘Well, bookworm, seems like your obsessive studying paid off.’
8. Thousand
She needs to apologize, she needs to beg for his forgiveness, she needs to do so so much to make up for her weakness, for her inadequacy, but he just holds out a hand and pulls her up, and that says more about their relationship then any words ever could.
9. King
‘I think you’re overreacting, Soul - no, put the cross down - I’m not some kind of monster just because I don’t like Elvis!’
10. Learn
‘It’s like Pavlov and his dogs,’ she says, waving a thick book around as she talks, Soul glaring up at her through his fringe, one hand on his throbbing skull ‘you just need reinforcement.’
11. Blur
When he starts to play she can’t follow his fingers at all, and she feels a strange sense of awe usually reserved for her mother.
12. Wait
Sitting outside the infirmary is the worst part.
13. Change
There’s something about the Black Blood dress that really gets to Soul, something about how different she looks in it, yet how undeniably Maka she is at the same time.
14. Command
Lying on his back, her calves pressed against the sides of his bare chest, Soul awaits his next orders with impatience.
15. Hold
As he offers his hand to Maka, sprawled out on the floor of Envy, Soul can only hope that she buys his excuse about not wanting them to get separated; what he really wants is the touch of her hand in his and the assurance that she’s there and not going anywhere.
16. Need
She can hardly stand, let alone walk, so as much as he longs to half-transform and join the battle he stays there with his arm around her waist, because he’s her Weapon and he’ll never abandon her.
17. Vision
Sometimes, when she thinks he isn’t paying attention, he sees her eyes lose focus and gaze at his chest; the weird feeling he gets tells him that she’s watching his soul.
18. Attention
The cat will never admit it, but the real reason Blair spent so much time shoving Soul’s face into her cleavage wasn’t because she was attracted to him - please, she could get any guy she wanted, she didn’t need some inexperienced adolescent - but because it was just so fascinating watching his partner’s reaction.
19. Soul
‘What kind of a name is that, anyway?’ Maka asks him absent-mindedly as her gentle fingers sift through his hair, his head warm on her lap.
20. Picture
Even though she rants and rages and throws the skimpy underwear into the bin with unparalleled ferocity, Soul still notices that she puts the photo album carefully into a high spot on the bookshelf, and it breaks his heart a little.
21. Fool
Maka has never had the misfortune to go seeking Excalibur, although she knows all about his legend and his powers - she figures that if her Soul isn’t an Ultimate Weapon, well, she’ll just have to make him one herself.
22. Mad
Giggling and gasping, Maka thinks how strange it is that the boy’s hair is so white, she wants to run her hands through it, under the skin of his skull and then peel it all off, but the boy seems unwilling to go through with it, trying to hold her hands back - silly, silly, the Black Blood gives her more than enough strength to snap his arms like little tiny toothpicks; his roars of pain are the most hilarious sounds she’s ever heard.
23. Child
He’s about to nudge her shoulder and mumble ‘Your turn,’ but she glares at him a glare that clearly says I gave birth to her, my part is over until at least 8am, so Soul sighs and reluctantly leaves the warm bed to follow the piercing wails of their baby.
24. Now
Shinigami-sama calls them for a mission just as Soul’s head is about to dip down in between her legs; they glance at each other and seriously consider not responding.
25. Shadow
No matter how much his life changes, no matter how much he grows, the Little Demon is always there, watching him from the corner of his mind, mocking his every move and whispering in his ear - ‘This won’t last, you know, you can’t hold me back forever - sooner or later she’ll leave you anyway, may as well just give in rather than face that pain.’
26. Goodbye
Still half in shock from seeing his brother again after nearly two years (although he knows it wasn’t really him), Soul finds himself trembling, although whether it’s from fear or rage he doesn’t quite know, Maka’s unusually monotone voice from the chair telling him that something’s not right, something’s happened to her, although maybe it hasn’t, maybe she really does want to leave him - somehow that seems almost worse.
27. Hide
‘Well well well, looks like I was right all along,’ smirks Liz, the light spilling into the linen cupboard revealing a very flustered and disheveled Maka and Soul; their vague hopes of being able to bribe Liz into silence are shattered when they hear her call for the others to ‘Come see what I found!’
28. Fortune
His house is ridiculously large, and Maka has never felt more out of place anywhere ever; he scuffs his shoes along the polished floors as though they were cheap linoleum, not high-quality marble.
29. Safe
His whole body is shaking violently and his arms are wrapped around her so tightly, face pressed hard into her shoulder; she’s shaking too, still reeling from how close she had come to losing everything.
30. Ghost
‘Come on, Soul, Hallowe’en is a big deal for Death City - you could’ve done a little better than two holes in a sheet.’
31. Book
‘Hm, Papa, I know you want to see me but you’re going to have to make an appointment -’ she just manages to slam the receiver down before Soul is on top of her, the look on his face as she grins and begins to unbutton her shirt conveying his gratitude that the four hour phone conversation is finally, finally over.
32. Eye
The first time she picks him up in scythe form she is so surprised at how light he is that she swings him round her head, forgetting just how long his shaft is - a cry of pain, and Black Star calls ‘Hey, watch it Maka!’
33. Never
‘That’s not happening,’ she says coldly and calmly to Shinigami-sama after he suggests changing Weapons to avoid being tainted by the black blood, and Soul thinks that this is the fiercest (and the sexiest) that she has ever looked.
34. Sing
He never actually says that it’s their song, but he plays it so often and with such a fond smile on his face that Maka figures it must be; her suspicions are confirmed when one day she feels his hand slide over her mouth - ‘Just because I wrote it for you, doesn’t mean you can mangle it with your lack of pitch and timing.
35. Sudden
It was too quick for it to be real, much too quick, so it must not be happening, and Soul, lying there in a pool of his own blood with the Demon Sword standing over him, is definitely OK and not dead because that is just ridiculous, that is just impossible.
36. Stop
He morphs back into his human form and grabs her hand as she starts forwards, his eyes fixed on the smiling woman in front of them - ‘Something’s up,’ and she knows him well enough to trust his judgment, to trust him.
37. Time
‘Blair’, he says groggily, warily eyeing the cat sitting smugly on his bed while noises of a frantic Maka banging various items around drift in from the kitchen ‘I know that you think you’re doing us a favor, but turning off her alarm is one sure fire way to get yourself kicked out of the house.’
38. Wash
Their first ever argument is over the dishes; Soul, brought up with cooks and cleaners and nannies, has never done any housework in his entire life and simply doesn’t know how; Maka runs on practicality and doesn’t want to hear his excuses; she wins, and it won’t be the last time.
39. Torn
She’s in danger and he’s not with her, she’s in danger and he can’t do anything about it, because a broken Weapon is of no use to anyone.
40. History
‘You know, I sometimes think I prefer the old days,’ says Soul, crouching slightly to allow her to climb up onto his back, ‘back when not every bad guy was personally out to get you specifically.’
41. Power
Not as strong as Black Star, not as talented as Kirikou and his team, and nowhere near the same level as Kid, Maka still somehow manages to be the first out of their group to create a Death Scythe; he doesn’t tell her, but Soul isn’t surprised in the least.
42. Bother
His legs are cramping, his feet are numb and the couch is uncomfortable, but all worth it for her soft-breathing form draped over his.
43. God
‘Seriously?’ he asks her when she first introduces him to Shinigami-sama - she just shrugs, half-embarrassed, half-resigned.
44. Wall
Sometimes there is just too much to say, and it ends up preventing them from saying anything at all.
45. Naked
It was inevitable that sharing an apartment together would eventually lead to one of them seeing the other nude; what surprises him, though, is that she simply rolls her eyes and says ‘Whatever, it’s not like I can’t see everything when you’re in Weapon form anyway.’
46. Drive
He never felt true motivation until he met her.
47. Harm
‘Well, his brain damage seems to have occurred due to numerous violent blows to the head,’ says Stein, eyebrows quirking at her curiously, ‘just what exactly have you been doing to young Soul?’ and Maka wakes up in a cold sweat, completely petrified.
48. Precious
He undresses her delicately, checking her face every few seconds to make sure she isn’t having any second thoughts; eventually Maka tires of this, throws off her shirt and pounces, watching his bewilderment slowly transform into a devious grin.
49. Hunger
When she gave him free reign to do whatever he wanted, she hadn’t quite known just how much he had been holding back - not that she can exactly talk, furiously bucking against his hips, hands clawing at his back as his hot mouth moves steadily downward from her lips to her collarbone to her chest to her stomach to her … oh.
50. Believe
Afterwards Soul wraps himself around her, face tucked into the hollow joining her neck and chin; he can feel her chest vibrate as she laughs and says something about cool guys and being clingy, but he doesn’t mind because he thinks - he knows - that she’s the most incredible person he’ll ever meet.
