Welcome to the long awaited Holiday Special! I hope everyone enjoys. I have had a lot of fun writing it. It has been well wanted.
I want to thank everyone who has been following the story so far. You guys have really made my year. Between those of you who found me on Instagram or those who found me here. Or word of mouth. Thank you for being here. This is a gift from me to you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
Another meeting.
Another meeting. That is all we seem to be doing now, but there keeps being more and more people. We have three new faces from our time in Texas. Yancy, Captain Magnum, and Illinois who are settling in well into their new world here. They seem to be getting along with everyone. Mark's adventure has made its way onto the internet. It seems to have created a lot of success.
There are also a few new what we found out are called egos. There is Chef Iplier who is a chef. He is a little snobby, but he claims he is a really good cook. There is also a father and son duo here now. There is Derik Derikson who is some kind of salesman. Then there is his son Erik Derkison. He is constantly moving and looking around like he is nervous about something. He also seems to be missing his lower legs. They are replaced by prosthetics.
My mind wanders as Damien talks about some statistical stuff. I am not really paying attention. I only ever talk in these meetings when I am directly asked something. I am wearing a black suit with white undershirt. While looking around I also found something called a binder. It hides my chest more.
It is getting close to the Holidays… should we have a holiday party. Should we have it at our house. It would be fun for everyone to get together. My thoughts are interrupted by Warf jumping up out of his seat.
"We should do something special!" Warf exclaims as Damien finishes saying the last number.
"I was thinking the same thing. We should have a party at our house." I speak up. Damien glances at me and sighs. Some of the others pipe up in agreement. Damien looks a little irritated at the outburst but something seems to be on his mind.
"Alright. It is settled then. We will have a party on the 24th at our house." Warf exclaims and writes something down. Damien nods and writes something down as well. He looks over back at me and I can see him take a deep breath.
"Alex… I wanted to ask you something."
"Anything. What is it?" I question as I watch him shake. Is he nervous about something?
"Well… I know our relationship has been… difficult." His eyes flicker over to Warf who seems to be giving him a thumbs up. "And I know we still have some ways to go in fixing it… but I wanted to ask…" I can feel my heart starting to beat faster. "Would you still like to marry me?" He gives me a small smile.
"Y-yes. Of course." I manage to get out before I can feel tears starting to form in my eyes. I lean forward and hug him tightly. I can hear the cheers from the others around us, but it seems to be muffled. My mind is too focused on Damien.
"Then we shall have an actual wedding." I can feel my heart racing.
"We will have it at the house. On Christmas." Warfstache's voice calls from the other side of the room. I pull away from Damien with a smile.
"It does not give us much time to plan…" I glance at my phone checking the date. It is only a week from now.
"Well I am sure if everyone here helps out it will go by quickly." Warf says and pulls us into a hug.
"Yeah! Alex I wanted to help you!" Yan runs up and pulls at my arm. I pull away from the boys.
"Of course you can help Yan-chan. I would have it no other way." I smile and hug her.
"Who all should we invite?" The Red Shirt Google questions as he walks up. He pulls out a device and starts typing.
"That is up to Alex. I do not know anyone else outside of you guys." Damien comments after thinking for a second.
"Oh… I do not know many others… The only two people I would invite are probably long gone…" I say with a small frown. Ben and Chef…
"Then it will be just us. That is alright." Damien wraps his arm around my waist. I smile again and feel a little better.
"Alex and I should go dress shopping before too many places close." Yan-chan suggests and grabs my arm. I look over at Damien. He nods and smiles.
"I will go with you. Help keep everything organized." Blue Shirt Google says and walks with me.
Not long later we find ourselves in a bridal shop. There is a sea of white all around me of all kinds of dresses. A man eith slicked back black hair is helping us look through the dresses. Nothing seems to be jumping out at me.
"I just do not know… I am not sure how I will feel that day…" I say as Yan holds up a long dress. "These are beautiful but…" Nothing feels right…
"Hmmmm. I have an idea." The man helping us says and disappears into the back.
"What about just wearing a suit?" Yan asks and puts up the dress.
"I am just not sure Yan…" The man walks back in with a bag.
"I think this will be just right for what you are wanting." He unzips the bag and reveals a white dress. It is not just a dress. The top part is like a suit top and the bottom part is a long dress.
"This is perfect!" I exclaim and take the dress gently. Walking into a changing room, I go to try it on. After a minute I walk back out to show off the dress.
"You look beautiful!" Yan says in amazement. "Damien is so lucky!" She smiles and walks me to in front of the mirror. The dress seems to be almost made for me. It fits perfectly.
"Thank you." I can feel my face heating up.
"I think you found your perfect dress." The man says with a smile.
Not long later we buy the dress and walk back outside to the car. The next stop is to a bakery where we can design the cake. After the bakery we go to a flower shop and pick out a beautiful bouquet of white end up spending the rest of the day preparing for the wedding.
The next few days seem to just fly by very quickly. I find myself getting ready in our bedroom with Yan. She is doing my hair for me. Damien is with Warf in Warf's room getting ready as well. I can feel my nerves starting to get to me.
"Hey you okay?" Yan questions as she puts the comb down on the nightstand. Yan is wearring a long blue dress.
"Yeah just a little nervous, but I am very excited. I have been waiting for this day for almost a hundred years." I smile and take a deep breath. There is a knock at the door. "Come in." Warfstache and Blue waks in.
"Damien is ready when you are." Warf says with a smile. He is wearing a black suit with a pink bowtie. He is smiling brightly for the first time in a long time.
"Thank you. I will be ready in a few more minutes." I stand up and give him a hug.
"You look so beautiful. I am happy for the both of you." I feel him kiss the top of my head. I smile and gently pull away.
"Thank you for helping us and being with us the entire time." I smile and wave as he leaves. "Did you need something?" I ask Blue shirt Google who is wearing a blue suit.
"There is a few guests here who wanted to talk with you." Blue says and motions to the hallway.
"Okay let them in." I have a feeling I know who it is… He nods and walks back outside. A few seconds later sure enough Mark walks into the room. I can feel my anger rising a little, but I manage to control it.
"You look beautiful Alex." Mark says as he steps fully into the room. His eyes are wide as he looks at me. I narrow my eyes. He is wearing a red suit with a black bowtie.
"What do you want? You are not welcome here." I say and motion for Yan to leave who has a knife out. "It is alright Yan-chan. I can handle this idiot." She nods and walks out of the room.
"Well you were a guest at my wedding, so I thought I could be a guest at yours." Mark says and walks around in front of me. "And I also wanted to give you a gift."
"Damien will not want you here." I walk away from him and look at myself in the mirror.
"This is your day. It is up to you." He walks up behind me and places a hand on my shoulders. "Do you not want your gift?" Mark questions and runs a hand through my hair. I smack his arm away.
"Fine what is the gift?" I give in and ask. I look at the mirror and at his face. His dark and cruel smile meets my eyes.
"You can come in now." Mark looks at my door and calls. The door opens a reveals a man standing there.
"Ben?!" turn to him with wide eyes. Benjamin is standing there. He is wearing a suit. His curly brown hair has grown out a lot more than when I last saw him. "How are you here? How are you alive?" I run up and hug him tightly. I feel him hesitate for a moment and then hug me back.
"I am not quite sure exactly. Things are very complicated now. I do not know how to explain it, but I go by Tyler now." He smiles down at me and pulls away gently. "I am so happy for you. Is it alright if we stay here?" Tyler asks with a smile.
"I suppose. Damien will not be too happy about it, but he will have to deal with it." I cannot stop smiling.
"Thank you. I am glad we could make it to your special day." Tyler says and looks over at Mark.
"You two head outside. The ceremony will be starting in just a few minutes." I say and motion for them to leave. "If anyone tries to make you leave just tell them I said you could stay." The duo waves as they walk out of the room. Yan walks in and gives me a look.
"Is it safe for Mark to be here?" She questions and watches them as they leave.
"Not really, but that is Ben and I never thought I would see him again." I take a deep breath. Looking out the window there is a fine layer of snow scattering on the ground. It is currently lightly snowing, which is odd for this area but it looks beautiful and perfect. We walk down the stairs and slowly walk outside.
Outside is a few rows of our fellow egos. Mark and Tyler are seated in the back. I can see Damien giving Mark a hateful look. Waves of red seems to be coming off of him, but the moment his eyes meet mine he seems to change immediately. All signs of his anger disappears and a blue aura surrounds him completely. I smile and blush a little. Beside him is Warf who is officiating the ceremony. Yan walks up to and takes her seat beside a man with green hair on top of his head. I think that is her senpai that she keeps talking about.
As the others see me they stand up. They turn and watch me as I walk down the aisle. Usually I do not like this much attention, but right now it feels like Damien and I are the only ones in the world. I walk up beside him and take his hands in mine.
"You look absolutely stunning." Damien whispers just for me to hear. I smile and stare into his dark eyes. I hear movement and can only assume that everyone sat back down. Looking over at Warf he pulls out multi-colored ribbons. Instead of a traditional wedding ceremony we decided on doing a ribbon binding ceremony.
"Thank you everyone for coming here today. We are here to join these two in marriage. Would you two like to say some words?" Warf questions and looks between us.
"I will go first. Alex, when I first met you I knew that I loved you. After everything that happened I thought I had lost you. Our relationship changed, but we have grown it even stronger than before. I am so happy that we have been able to mend this bond that we have." Damien says with a big smile. I blush a little.
"It must have been fate when we first met, but I knew that my life was going to change. We had a very rough relationship. When I had lost you I swore I would never lose you ever again. It has taken some time but here we are." I smile and close my eyes in thought.
"Now." Warfstache starts to say as he starts binding our two hands together. "I bind you two together. Your hearts and souls are intertwined forever from this moment forward." He finishes wrapping the multi-colored ribbons.
"I love you Alex." Damien says and squeezes my hand gently.
"And I love you Damien." I gently squeeze back. Leaning forward I gently kiss him. A warmth surrounds me. A feeling of home. I am home again.
So I cut it a little short but I hope you liked it. I think I wrapped up this chapter pretty well. Do not fear. This story is still nowhere near over. See you next time in "A Date With Markiplier".
