"Hot Topic"
"The Preppy Toddler"
"….."
"Hot Topic" Soul tried again
"The Preppy Toddler" Maka retaliated
The two stopped walking to glare at each other.
It was a cold day, there was snow falling from the sky in gentle puffs and the insane sun was covered by gray clouds.
"I will not have him dressed as a punk" Maka fumed, stomping her foot
"Ya, because it's soooo much cooler to have him dress like you right?" Soul snorted
"Are you insulting me?"
"….Maybe"
Destruction sighed and looked down at the fluffy sidewalk, the two were always arguing. The small boy yawned, he was very tired because Maka had woken him from his nap to come here.
They got into a yellow car called a…tazi, yes that was it. Destruction was in the tazi for a very long time, he looked out the window, enjoying the sights of Death City. Eventually the "tazi" stopped at a place Maka called down town.
Down town was decorated in lights and down town smelled like yummy food. There were hot dog and cocoa stands everywhere, just begging Destruction to eat them up.
Down town looked like a Christmas tree. There were lights everywhere, there were people dotting it like happy ordaments, and the star was a big, bright carousel. It was gold and twinkling with grand, hand carved and painted animals.
Down town was beautiful.
"Oh shut up Soul! Like you know anything about fashion!" Maka scoffed
"what's that supposed to mean Albarn?"
"Well for starters your wearing a headband"
"so?"
"headbands are for girls! Your white one was cool but this black one…did you steal it from Liz?"
Soul clutched his hair angrily "you take that back! I am the king of cool, and no! I got it from Hot Topic!"
"Oh so you-"
"STOP IT!" a small voice cried
The partners looked down to see a seething toddler glaring at them and pulling at his hair like Soul.
"You guys are forgetting about something!" He cried, throwing his arms down and sighing loudly.
"Oh?" Maka smiled teasingly, lowering herself to the child's height and putting her hands on her knees "what's that?"
Destruction grabbed her shoulders with his tiny hands and shook her "Destruction!"
Maka put a hand over his, "I'm sorry Babydoll"
Destruction crossed his arms and turned around "not okay" he huffed
"Aww come on Destruction" Maka wrapped her arms around him but his small body was stiff.
"Well then I guess you don't get your surprise" Soul sighed and teasingly winked at Maka.
Destruction's ears perked up
"Oh yes" Maka said, playing along, "It was a great surprise" she stood up and dusted the snow off her sweat pants.
Destruction turned around eagerly "what surprise? Tell me! Tell me!"
"Well…" Soul looked at Maka and sighed "should we tell him?"
"Tell me what?" Destruction jumped up and down and eagerly tugged on Soul's jacket sleeve
"We will tell you" Maka said with a smile "but you have to help pick out your clothes"
"Deal!" Destruction cried "Lets go!"
*two hours later*
"WEEEE!"
Destruction was squealing happily from his spot on top of Soul's broad shoulders, munching on a hot dog happily.
"How's the weather up there?" Soul asked laughing at the toddler's excitement
"It's snowy!" Destruction giggled through mouthfuls of hot dog "I think I can see our house from here!"
"Oh really?" Soul asked
"Yes!" Destruction looked down "Hey Maka guess what?" he asked the blonde in a muffled voice
Maka looked up smiling "what Destruction?"
"I'm taller than you!" Destruction chewed loudly "I'm even touching a cloud, I think"
The little boy threw his arms out happily laughing to the sky "I'm a giant!"
"yes you are!" Maka agreed, laughing
Destruction was wearing a mini leather jacket, dark jeans, mini converse, and a tshirt with a snowflake on it underneath. His spiky hair was held back by a white, cloth headband that had a badge on it reading "Destruction" in a blue circle, and "Evans" in a bold font on a red rectangle.
They had designed and bought it at a headband shop, apparently Soul got his there too.
Maka had wanted Destruction to dress in a Christmas sweater and khakis but Soul and her had agreed if he picked out the outfit she could buy the books for him.
"So do you want to know your surprise?" Maka asked the little Evans.
Destruction's red eyes widened and his jaw dropped, revealing sharp teeth "yes!" his hands wandered to Soul's spiky hair and he grabbed a fistful. "TELL ME!" he screeched.
"shhh…" Maka said through laughter as Soul cried in pain "settle down, I'll tell you if you let go of Mister Soul's hair"
"oh" Destruction propped his hands on Soul's head and hung his head, looking at Soul's face upside down "sowwy Mister Soul"
Soul laughed and ruffled Destruction's hair "its cool little dude"
"how would you like to go on the merry go round?" Maka asked
Destruction looked at her, eyes gleaming "THAT'S THE BEST SURPRISE EVER"
Maka and Soul laughed as the boy literally shook with happiness
"canwegonowcanwegonow!" he begged
"alright, alright!" the group headed towards the beautiful carousel
They got in a short line until they got to the vendor.
In the box stood a woman who was about 51. She had brown hair the color chocolate sprinkled with white snow, there was red painted on her thin lips and black circling her eyes although she was a raccoon. Red blush was on he cheeks, displaying her thin face. Wrinkles and frown lines scattered her face as though life had worn her down.
"May I help you?" she asked in a hoarse voice, looking up at the trio.
"three tickets please" Soul said, laying money down on the counter.
The lady looked from him, to Maka, to the boy who looked like him atop his shoulders. She gave Maka a disapproving nod and a glare that could curdle milk.
Maka ignored her, she had gotten these looks all day, people could think what they wanted of her.
The three ran to the carousel.
"I want that one!" Destruction cried after much thought, his plump finger pointed to a beautifully carved pony.
It was black as midnight with a blue, shiny mane and a bewildered look on its face.
Soul lowered the toddler from his shoulders and placed him on the horse, buckling him in.
Maka and Soul chose horses nearby, Maka's was light pink with a yellow mane, and Soul's was blue with a white mane.
The music started, it was slow and cheesy carnival music, "hold on!" Soul cried, poking Destruction's full stomach.
The little boy giggled and clutched the horse's handles tightly.
Maka saw a blur of colors and faces, she looked at Soul's face, he was…
Happy.
Destruction, was laughing along with him, this little abandoned boy was showing and emotion more raw and pure than anything on this earth.
Love.
Maka threw her head back to the sky, this is what love was.
Amazing.
Powerful.
She let it spread all the way to her finger tips, enjoying this moment, remembering it forever.
She was in love with life.
