Hiya! Back at it again with another story! This is actually only the 1st chapter of a few one shots about the married life of Soul and Maka. I hope you enjoy
The Wedding
Everything was perfect. She was getting married to her best friend, her partner, her true love, today. The bachelorette party was amazing, all of her closest female friends came, the played games, did karaoke, drank and had a wonderful time. Today's the day, and Maka is a bundle of joyous nerves. They were currently in a room in Shibusen, everyone getting ready for the wedding that was to be held in Shibusen's Ball room. Liz was in charge of doing her hair and makeup (of course). The bridesmaids were all ready to go and with just a few more touch ups so was Maka.
"Oh my death I'm so nervous, is this really happening? Is my dress secure? Oh what if i trip and fall down the isle? What if-" Maka's nervous ramblings were cut off with a stern look from Liz. "Maka chill out you'll be fine, you're about to go marry your best friend today and everything is going to go without a hitch" Liz stated, calming the bride. Tsubaki and Patty and Both giggled. "Liz is right Maka, the Wedding is going to be lovely, nothings going to be able to ruin your big day" Tsubaki added.
"Yeah, you guys are right, I'm being silly" Maka giggled out. Just then there was a knock at the door. "Maka, are you ready? Its almost time to go" Spirit sounded from the other side of the door. "Yes papa, you can come in" maka said as the girls turned to go line up with the grooms men. When Spirit laid eyes on his daughter, he smiled wistfully. "You look just as beautiful as your mama was on our wedding day, if not even more so." spirit held out his arm for maka to grasp. "Shall we go Maka?" Maka smiled at her papa. "Yes, I guess we shall" she replied with a soft giggle.
As promised, the procession went on perfectly. The maid of honor and best man, Tsubaki and Black star, made their way down the isle as Liz and Kidd followed suit. When Patty entered with her flower basket, everyone who attended (practically everyone in Shibusen) stood as the bride and her father made their way down. Smiles were shared everywhere as they started down the isle, the song "perfect" by Ed Sheeran playing in the background. When Soul laid his eyes on his beautiful bride, he was amazed, if he thought he knew what beautiful was before, he sure has a whole new meaning of the word now. Her sleeveless white mermaid styled dress fit her curves perfectly with her matching white fingerless gloved hands held a simple yet elegant bouquet of white and pink roses. Her hair was tied up in a elegant princess bun, small white and pink flowers perfectly tangled in its midst. To say Soul was shocked was an understatement. He was in complete awe, so much so he didn't notice the single tear well up in his eye and drop down his cheek. He was gonna marry this woman, and he couldn't be happier. When Maka reached her groom, her papa graciously gave Soul her hand, and made his way to his seat.
"Hello hello, hiya everyone!" Lord Death introduced, causing a few laughs in the crowd. "So, we all here at Shibusen are gathered for the union of Maka and Soul. So then, lets get on with it guys" Lord Death said in a mix of formal speech and casual, making some laugh, and some cringe.
"Do you, Soul "Eater" Evans, take Maka Albarn to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"
"I do" Soul replied with a smile, his eyes never leaving Maka's.
"Do you, Maka Albarn, take Soul "Eater" Evans, to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"
"I do" Maka's also replied, smiling, tears threatening to spill.
"Well, time for the rings!" Lord Death stated cheerfully. Maka giggled as her and Soul retrieved the rings from Black Star, who surprisingly didn't loose them. (As he had said, "I'm a god, and gods don't loose things!") Rings were exchanged and then Lord Death said the words the couple had been waiting to hear all morning.
"I now pronounce you Husband, and Wife! You may kiss the bride!"
Soul and Maka then joined in a sweet, loving kiss and embrace as the whole room erupted in cheers, joyful tears, and laughter. Maka's tears finally shed, out of pure joy.
"Lets get this party started!" Black Star shouted, removing his suit coat and tie.
The newlyweds cut their cake and as tradition goes, slapped each other's face with a slice of cake, causing a huge food fight (thanks to black star hitting Ox in the face with some mashed potatoes). Not everyone got covered in food, it was mostly the boys of shibusen (minus kidd because death forbid he gets 'unsymmetrical' food stains on his suit) who joined in the childish acts.
"Okie-Dokie people! May i have your attention please, its time for the traditional bouquet and garter toss!" Lord Death announced. Excitedly, all the non-married women gathered around behind Maka as they prepared. With a good toss behind Maka's head, the bouquet flew through the air, girls squealed, some trampled others, until finally the flowers made their decent into an awaiting lady's hands. All eyes landed on... Tsubaki!
"Nice catch Tsu! I expected nothing less from my own weapon, your god has taught you well" black star stated boastfully. "Oh shut up Star, it was just a bout of luck" Ox said. "I'm sure if she hadn't gotten pushed, Kim would've caught it"
"Are you askin for a fight baldy?" Black star sneered? "I'll kick your ass any-day" Ox replied viscously.
"Maka-Chop!" Both boys hit the floor. "No brawls on my wedding day" maka said, book in hand.
"Yes ma'am" the boys whimpered from the floor. With that, the wedding continued with the garter. A chair was grabbed for Maka and she sat on it, Soul kneeling in front of her, grinning like a madman. Maka's face flushed. With a tug at her dress, soul dived under her skirt, nipping at her thigh before grabbing the garter with his teeth, the nip caused her to yelp and blush further, guests smirking knowingly. When Soul emerged, garter hanging from his teeth, everyone cheered. The guys gathered to try catching it. Black start may as well have been on fire, determined to catch the garter. The garter was tossed, and then so were the guys, black star flung them all out the way and jumped for the garter, and successfully caught it. Not wanting to fight him for it, no one mentioned the foul play.
Laughing hysterically, black star approached Tsubaki, and flung an arm around her shoulders. "Ya know what this means, right Tsu?" Tsubaki blushed brightly. "You're destined to marry your god in the future!" With that, more laughter ensued at Black stars crazy yet adorable antics.
Once everything calmed down, it was time for the bride and grooms first dance. "A thousand years" by Christina Perry started, and the newlyweds joined on the dance floor for their first dance as a married couple.
"You look beautiful in your dress Maks" Soul stated sweetly, looking into her sparkling emerald eyes. Maka giggled, cheeks pinking at his words. "And you look handsome in your suit, I'm glad you decided on your black and red once. Its my favorite" Soul smiled in response. "I love you Maka Evans" Soul said endearingly, leaning his head on hers. She smiled tearfully at the sound of her new name. "And I love you, Soul Evans" she responded. And with that, Soul closed the distance in a slow, sweet kiss. On lookers whistled and clapped as the song came to a close.
Up-beat music began as people joined them on the dance floor. They did line dances and dance competitions, and had a ball Shibusen style, which was crazy and rambunctious. But Maka and Soul couldn't have imagined a more perfect wedding party.
As the night went on, it was finally time for the newly weds to go onto their honeymoon. Maka had changed into more suitable clothes for riding on a motorcycle and so had Soul. Soul wore his usual orange shirt, leather jacket, jeans and boots while Maka wore a pair of skinny Jeans and a white T-shirt and converse, her hair braided into twin french braided low pig tails.
"Have a nice honeymoon in California! I hope you enjoy the beaches!" Tsubaki exclaimed excitedly. "Have fun fucking like bunnies guys!" Black Star said rather bluntly which resulted in yet another book imbedded into his cranium. "Take lots of beach photos! Its not everyday you get to go!" Liz wished, a sparkle in her eyes. "Go pet some giraffes!!!" Patty shouted, a laugh following after. "Make sure those photos are perfectly symmetrical" kidd added.
Maka giggled at all her friends antics and weird requests. Hugging her papa and saying the last of the 'goodbyes' and 'laters', she and soul finally took off to the airport and began their ride to 'happily ever after'.
So that was chapter one of these series of one-shots, each story corresponds with the next, basically a bunch of single stories about the lives of Soul and Maka. I hope you enjoy them ️️
