2 YEARS AFTER CHAPTER 2 HAPPENED
"Alright! Let's go Soul, I'm so excited!" Maka yelled happily as she ran around their apartment making sure the radio was off and that everything was good to go.
"Hai, hai Maka. This is going to be the coolest night ever." Soul grinned as he wiped drool off of his chin. He really couldn't help it; it was because of his sharp teeth but, this time he could blame it on a single person: Maka. His crimson eyes followed her every move as she flitted around the apartment making sure things were off and that apartment was good to go. She was absolutely stunning in her red sparkly dress, she was wearing her black heels and had her hair done in long flowing waves.
He couldn't blame her for being excited; things had been stressful for the both of them. Maka still taught at the DWMA and he was still Shinigami-sama's weapon. He did do traveling but he refused to go that far away again after what had happened last time. He let Black Star and Tsubaki take care of those. Maka would kill him herself if it happened a second time, or so she said after she got done slugging and then kissing him senseless.
Soul grinned at the memory and sighed wistfully. He didn't know she even had that red dress until she came out of the bathroom and announced she was going to make sure things were ready for when they left.
"Soul! I'm done!" Maka called from the doorway where she was putting on her locket. Soul nodded and grabbed his keys for his bike and swiftly turned and locked the door. Following Maka down to the bike, he checked to make sure he had a special item in his pocket before revving up the engine and speeding down the road.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Page Break! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Maka was happily humming with nerves and excitement, Soul announced that they were going to the Bronze for a special surprise. They pulled up to the Bronze and walked in through the door hand in hand.
The club was exactly how it was two years ago. The found a table and ordered their dinner.
"Hey Soul?"
"Yeah?
"What's this surprise you wanted to show me?"
"All I in due time my dear meister, all in due time."
After they had finished and were bantering back and forth, Soul said abruptly, "Maka, you do know its karaoke night tonight."
"Oh no…no no no, Soul."
"Oh, yes yes yes, Maka." With the smuggest grin on his face he flagged the attention of the band leader on stage, who nodded and winked at her. "Come on let's go."
"But Soul, I don't even know what song we're going to sing."
"Oh yes you do, you listen to it all the time when you're grading papers."
Soul practically dragged her up to the stage. Past memories taunted them both.
(Owoooooooo!
Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?
Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood.)
(He left at dawn
And as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more)
Giving the band the signal, Soul handed her one of the microphones and took the other for himself.
"Go on Maka you start it off first."
Nodding, Maka tapped her foot to the beat of the bass. Taking a breath, she sang.
I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do headstands for you
Every time I fell on you, yeah, every time I fell
Maka's eyes lit up, she always sang this when she needed something to distract herself from hurting someone or something.
I tried to do handstands for you
But every time I fell for you
I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you.
Soul watched Maka get a twinkle in her eye while she sang and couldn't be happier.
I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do handstands for you
Every time I fell on you, yeah, every time I fell
I tried to do handstands for you but every time I fell for you
I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you-ooh-ooh-ooh
The song lyrics were very oddly truthful. She did almost always have at least 3 black and blue marks on her somewhere. Whether it be from falling, hitting into something, or Soul getting overzealous marking her when they were…well Maka blushed at that last thought.
For you-ooh-ooh-ooh
So black and blue-ooh-ooh-ooh
For you-ooh-ooh-ooh.
Soul grabbed her by the hand and spun her in a circle while the music was playing. Moving himself so he was holding her from behind while she was singing, he took a breath for his part.
I grabbed some frozen strawberries so I could ice your bruising knees
But frozen things they all unfreeze and now I taste like...
All those frozen strawberries I used to chill your bruising knees,
Hot July ain't good to me
I'm pink and black and blue for you.I got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue
Maka remembered the day when she had bought her, at that time, new jeans. She had just come over the threshold of the apartment when all of a sudden she was falling forward. She had tripped over Soul's skateboard and fell flat on her face. Soul wasn't home so she couldn't even throttle him until he got home, 'how many time have I told him to put that damn thing away in his room'. She did end up with a hole in her jeans and needless to say that when Soul got back to the apartment, he always put it away after that.
Got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue for you-ooh-ooh-ooh
For you-ooh-ooh-ooh
So black and blue-ooh-ooh-ooh
For you-ooh-ooh-ooh
Do-doo-do-do-do-do-doo
Do-doo-do-do-do-do-doo
Do-doo-do-do-do-do-doo
Do-doo-do-do-do-do-doo
Do-doo-do-do-do-do-doo
Do-doo-do-do-do-do-doo
Do-doo-do-do-do-do-doo
After her part was finished Soul danced with her on the stage, not even caring about the audience they had sung in front of. Of course the audience knew who they were. They were always there every other Friday. They dressed casual mostly, unless it was a special event like a birthday or anniversary.
Soul turned Maka towards him and kissed her. "Maka, you wanna know what the special surprise is?"
All Maka could do was nod her head.
Soul got down on one knee and took something out of his pocket, a box. A very special box; and opened it showing Maka a ring. "Maka, we've been dating for 5 years now, we already live together and do everything else a married couple would do. So let's make it official, Maka Albarn; meister of my heart, will you marry your one and only weapon scythe?" Soul grinned, showing off all his sharp teeth at Maka.
Maka was speechless, "oh Soul…YES I WILL!"
Soul took the ring out and put it onto her finger. It was absolutely beautiful. A gold band with delicate scrollwork engraved into it, with a diamond in the middle. On the left side was an emerald and the right was a garnet. Both of their favorite colors. Maka admired it on her finger. It was dainty enough for a woman, yet it was also heavy to be a meisters. This way she didn't have to worry about it getting lost while she was fighting.
Throwing her arms around him, she kissed him till she was breathless. The both of them forgot that they were still in fact, on the stage. They heard whoops and clapping, turning they saw everybody was on their feet cheering for them. Maka and Soul both blushed and walked off the stage, leaving the club. As Soul helped Maka onto the motorcycle, he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I'll never leave till forever comes." Roaring the engine, they left the club where everything important happened in their lives. Soul confessing his feelings, Maka singing out her grief of a dead lover and being proved wrong; and now, their engagement.
