Got a pretty short update for It Takes 4 Idiots To Confess

This one is mostly SoMa sharing a brain cell and then Soul about to make a fool of himself lol

—— ——————————————————————-

“You going to Star’s place to get ready?” Soul questioned while Maka slipped on her shoes.

“Ye-yea, we wanted to get ready together,” Maka explained as her eyes began to gravitate towards the multicolored tiles which they stood upon.

I would have never agreed to this plan if I knew just how…awkward it’d make things between us Maka thought before looking up and meeting the dulled crimson sheen of Soul’s eyes.

“I can drop ya’ off on my way to Gallows…if you want,” Soul offered while grabbing his motorcycle keys from their kitchen table, leaving Maka to stand still in perturbed silence.

“You’d…do that?” the meister questioned, only to regret voicing the statement out loud after noticing how uneasy Soul’s demeanor immediately became afterwards.

“Of course. What, you thought I was just gonna leave you stranded now that I got a boyfriend?” Soul questioned, eliciting Maka to let out a choked hum.

“Huhhhh, of course not! I just…” Maka tried to rebuttal, although the she wasn’t sure why she’d even asked the question in the first place.

I thought this whole thing would be ridiculous enough to give me enough courage to finally confess, but everything just feels so…wrong she noted before filling the silence with a small shrug, only for Soul to slowly nod his head at her and unlock the front door in response.

————————————————————-

“Kid, we need to talk,” Soul whispered as they walked towards the main party hall within Shibusen.

“Can’t it wait until after we’re inside” Kid replied in the middle of fidgeting with his tie.

Soul had expected them to wear matching tuxedos since they were going to prom as a couple, but Liz had been vehement on the fact that matching outfits were considered lame now and a standard jet black suit was more his style while a light gray suit would compliment Kid a lot more.

“Oh, don’t you two look dapper today!” a voice sang from the end of the hall, causing both men to notice Marie and Stein standing right in front of the doorway leading into the party hall.

“Dapper and late as usual,” Stein then added before letting out a low chuckle.

“Hm, well better late than never. Here’s a few party favors before you walk in, food is on the left and activities are on the right, and if you kids need anything Sid and Nygus should be walking around inside ,” the woman then added while handing both Soul and Kid a small box of condoms and a map of the nearest Deathgreens for other sexual necessities .

“You-you think we’re gonna have sex!?” they both wheezed out, forcing Marie to let out a startled gasp at their accusation.

“Oh no no no , I wasn’t thinking about you two specifically or anything. I’m giving out a small pack in case things do get a bit rowdy in there for anyone and they need it. I’m really sorry if it came across-“

“MISS MARIE DO YOU HAVE ANY PLASTIC BAGS? LIZ DRANK TOO MUCH AND CAN’T MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE BATHROOM IN TIME” a voice shouted above the woman’s apology, causing Soul and Kid to pinpoint it as belonging to Black*Star and gape at what they saw afterwards.

“So this is why Liz was so adamant about helping us,” Kid hissed while Soul moved his eyes between the reaper and Black*Star, only to snort at how they were both wearing gray tuxedos that were completely identical down to the smallest studs and pockets.

“It’s ok Black*Star, Kim has it under-“ the group then heard Maka exclaim before she too went silent and allowed Soul a moment to notice how identical their formal wear also was to one another.

The Deathscythe had almost mistaken the dress Maka was wearing to be the one she adorned in the black room.

However, his eyes soon took in the way it was patterned with black sequins that shimmered against the neon flashes from within the party hall and how the garment’s off shoulder neckline seemed to show off just a bit more of her smooth skin.

“HAAH-“ Black*Star attempted to shout as Maka grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back into the party hall.

The action stirred both Soul and Kid back into reality as well, which probed them into giving each other a brief passing glance before walking into the hall themselves and finding Liz hunched up in a corner with Kim and Patty by her side.

“I’m so sorry if my partner ruined your fun Kim. We’ll take it from here,” Kid hummed while Soul took a few hesitant steps backwards due to the sheer bloodlust that had been seeping out of the reaper’s voice.

“No prob. Hope you guys are able to have some fun at least,” Kim added before giving Liz a small pat on the back and walking off towards the dance floor.

“Hm yes, I suppose we’ll see how many of us have fun tonight,” the reaper absentmindedly responded while inching closer towards Liz’s lanky frame.

“ Elizabeth Allen Thompson you have some explaining to do-“

“Pretty funny idea right?” Liz then sang over Kid in a drunken stupor.

“Tsu was the other mastermind here so don’t forgot to give her some credit too,” Patty then chirped before pointing towards the catering table, causing Soul and Kid to turn back and notice the way Maka and Black*Star seemed to be chewing Tsubaki out for their outfits as well.

“Ah, to hell with all that crap! I told you guys to be here by 7:08 not 7:48 . If Sid and Nygus show up now after I worked my ass off to shoo them away, it’ll ruin our whole plan,” Liz added while latching a hand onto Soul’s wrist and pulling him towards a large crowd which surrounded the pole dancers Liz had hired for the night.

It was then that the Deathscythe began to realize just how ridiculous their plan truly was, with his anxiety only heightening to an unbearable degree once he glanced back at Maka in a phantasmic hope that she’d be able to catch onto their plan and stop it from coming into fruition.

Is this really gonna make her want to confess to me? Would-would it even be worth it if this all is just a game to see who can put on a better act? Can we even talk stuff out at this point! Soul noted before feeling Liz loosen his tie.

“Remember to breathe up there and not worry about the steps too much since the point is just to catch Maka’s attention and mhummmm Soul-“ Liz then garbled out while tapping her hand on the slither of tanned skin she’d exposed in order to amp up his sexiness.

“What’s going on in that mind of yours bestie? Ya’ look like I’m telling you to go kick Maka in the kneecaps or something. If-if you really don’t want to do this then-then that’s your decision and your decision only. No pressure,” the woman added before unceremoniously slapping her hand onto his shoulder.

“Well, I-I dunno know Liz, it’s just-“ Soul attempted to relay as he slid one of his sweaty palms against the back of his neck.

No. No I have to do it! I’ve made my bed and I’m sure as hell not aboutta just let things go back to the way they used to be, especially not after gettin’ a chance to see if Maka feels the same way about me the Deathscythe then decided while gently guiding Liz out of his way, tapped a firm hand onto her shoulder, and began to march towards the stage.
