Soul isn't having a very good day. She received bad news from home in the morning, something which ruined everything to come. A comedy of errors at lunch had led to her not having anything to eat, which enforced the bad feelings. Later on at basketball, Black*Star had decided to tease her for being a girl, something which hasn't upset her since she was twelve. However, since she was already in low spirits, she powwed him right on the nose and got a scuffle in return. He didn't actually care if she was a girl; when it came down to it, he'd beat her up all the same.

Soul opens the door to the apartment very gingerly, wanting to try to sneak in without alerting her roommate. She knows if Maka sees the state that she's in, she'll get yelled at and booked to the head and all sorts of things. Not an enjoyable experience to cap off that already terrible day.

Sneak in, sneak in, channel Tsubaki and be a ninja because she's the coolest and Soul's cool too.

"Anyone can make time for romance if they really want to," Soul says. "It's just a matter of finding someone who inspires you." She studies Maka's face and finds it very hard to repress a smile. "Why are you blushing?" Does Maka find the idea of liking girls to be appealing or just embarrassing? Soul hopes not the latter. That would be a let down in more ways than one, though she'd never admit such a thing.

Maka opens her mouth to retort, again to find that her usual complaints don't seem to apply anymore. Who would want to make time for a man who would inevitably be unfaithful? Well, if it isn't a man, then... Maka had always lived under the assumption that she had the power to make time for something worth prioritizing. School, reading, music, meister practice, even friends.

She'd never imagined herself putting the time into romance. But she had also never imagined romance happening with a girl.

"I'm not." Yep, good old-fashioned petulant denial. That'll get her far. Maka puffs her cheeks a bit and crosses her arms. "Why are you bringing all this up anyway? I'm not exactly the love guru."
