54 Souls [Voice Post]

[soul_dissonance]

[The recording function is switched on clumsily, the microphone picking up some extra noise as he fumbles with it in his hands over the next few seconds.]

Ow, ow, ow... All right, all right. I get it. Not getting up.

...Man, I hurt all over.

[...]

Hnn. I wonder if they're having a party back at the house for pop today. Probably. ...Damn, I bet the whole family came over for Mother's Day too.

Swarming the place like ants, and telling me over and over again how "grown up I look" and how they remembered me when I "was only this tall."

They always made us play, huh, bro? But you're the one who always managed to draw the crowds. That was the kind of sound of you had whenever you played that violin. While I was...

... [Sigh] Forget it. I'm not in the mood for this right now.

Actually... That sounds rather pleasant.

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Hmm?

Mm. Maybe a change in perspective makes all the difference in the world.

But those kinds of parties... they never really did anything for me.

[Voice]

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

Normally it does. Everything is how you perceive it to be in the end.

Though while I might agree on the parties, it is the time with your family that I would cherish. Such things are not commodities that everyone has.

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

That can count for a lot over what people decide to talk about here.

...I know. I'm aware of that fact more than you'd like to think.

[CommentLog cause I'm awesome.]

[ineuphony]

[Maka was in the kitchen when she heard her partner's voice through the communicator. She was stirring the pot while she listened closely. Soul usually didn't speak much when it came to his family, which made her more interested. Although, she let out a sigh after hearing his mumble. Typical. This always happened when he was left alone to think. But, she was use to it and besides, nothing that food couldn't cure a gloomy mood. She poured the stew in the bowl before fetching a cold glass of water. Maka then carefully balanced the two as she headed to their bedroom, doing the best that she could to hold the items and opening the door--praying that she wouldn't drop or spill.

But thankfully, she succeeded. She quietly entered the room with a smile on her face.]

Hey. I brought you dinner if you're hungry.

[Commentlog because my Meister is bossy]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

[Soul was just pushing his communicator over to the side of the bed. It was completely silent. He must have switched it off completely; not in the mood to listen to the other frequencies right now either. Apart from what was happening to their friend, there wasn't really anything worth picking up on.]

Aah. [He was getting kind of hungry.]

[Carefully, he pushed himself up on the bed to sit up, letting out a hiss and gritting his teeth as he went. Just something to last a few seconds. That battle was really trying, and a few cuts and bruises didn't make it any better.]

Ouch... I sure hope that this isn't going to last too long.

[Voice]

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

I have started to realize this for a while now.

I'm not saying that you are not aware. Then perhaps I am a bit lucky that I have my own here with me.

[Commentlog :P]

[ineuphony]

[She watched him for a moment with a concern look on her face before approaching closer, setting the bowl and the glass on the table right next to the bed. Chewing on her bottom lip, Maka sat on the bed--her eyes wandering at his bandages. Her voice lull with a hint of guilt.]

Do you...need me to get fresh bandages...?

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Heh. See what I mean?

Heeh... I can't say whether you are lucky for that or not.

[Commentlog because my opinion still stands!]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

[Soul shook his head, and then brought a finger up to scratch along the strip of bandage attached to his cheek.]

I'm fine for now. Just sore.

It'll pass. ...You don't need to make that kind of face.

[Voice]

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it is more like a double-edged sword than anything. I just hope that no more surprises occur.

It's Soul, correct?

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

That's the idea... All you can do is try to protect them, or be a shoulder to lean on. This city can get pretty tough for just about anyone.

Eh? ...That's right, but... Who are you?

[Voice]

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid it is more complicated than that.

Me? My name is Lelouch. I have spoken to Maka a few times.

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

I never said it was supposed to be good advice.

Oh. That explains it. If she hasn't told you already, I'm her partner.

Soul Eater Evans... Nice to meet you.

[Commentlog because loling at you]

[ineuphony]

[Even if he told her not to, the expression was still there. She knew that it was his duty to protect her. He is her weapon after all. But she felt like she could have tried harder to prevent some of those damages. Almost with no hesitation, Maka leaned forward, carefully wrapping her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.]

[Voice]

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

I have heard your voice and have seen your face once. She does speak of you.

Though since you have given me your full name, mine is Lelouch vi Britannia. I am rather pleased to actually be introduced.

[watchthesunsets.livejournal.com]

... maybe you shouldn't let Maka throw you around so much.

[voice]

[beatitlikemj.livejournal.com]

You, too? Damn, man ...

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

You've been looking out for me?

Mm. Same here, I guess.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the thought.

But trust me, that was only a small part of it. ...I'll live.

[Voice]

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

Saying it like that is rather... Scandalous. Though I was interested in speaking with you.

[voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

...

All due respect, but... I don't know why the hell you sound so surprised by that.

I'm Maka's Weapon. I'm used to taking the hits like this.

[Commentlog because >| ]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

[Soul blinked, and his cheeks got a little warmer as his partner cozied up to him like this. It didn't hurt or anything, but it wasn't like he could move around much to avoid it either. She had him right where she wanted him. ...and all he could do was let out a sigh.

He did smile though, and was glancing over at her.]

You doing all right yourself?

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Sorry?

Well, you have me right where you want me for talking. - I won't be going anywhere for awhile.

[Commentlog because <33]

[ineuphony]

[She gave him a nod before looking up at him; still hugging him.]

Mm. Just patiently waiting for all of this to be over.
