Hello everybody! I am back with Shade and Velvet and another chapter of RWBY: A Demon's Life!
Is this the chapter?
Yeah is it?
What do you mean is this the chapter?
Are me and Shade finally going to get married?
Oh that's what you meant. Yes it is.
Yay! Thank you! *Velvet runs up to The Burning Ruler and is about to hug him but stops before she reaches him*
You can hug him if you want. If I was a girl I would hug him.
*Velvet continues and hugs The Burning Ruler*
You don't need to thank me for this. It was going to happen eventually.
*She let's go* Does that mean we can't be happy?
No, of course you can be happy. But you really didn't need to thank me.
I don't think she cares.
Yeah. I don't.
Alright. But we really should get to the reviews.
Guest/Valkerix: Thank you but I was pretty sure that you did. Yeah. You have stuck around for the whole story. Yeah of course. Wait what does that next part say? Nothing important. Anyways thank you for sticking around. Hey, Shade look at what he said about you. He says you are everything he wants to be. Awesome. Wait what did he say about Velvet? Thank you. I'm glad I'm your favourite. Um Shade? Are you ok? *Shade starts to go Grim* Oh shit. Valkerix, you may want to start running. Me and Velvet can stop him, but you need to RUN! NOW!
DragoonSensei: Well the wait is over. I hope you enjoy it. So do we. I hope you have a good time.
Anyways, that ends the reviews.
So me and Shade are going to get married soon?
Yep. You may want to start getting ready.
Right. See you at the ceremony Velvet.
I need to get ready too! See you!
*Shade and Velvet leave*
Well then. I guess I need to do this on my own. I only own Shade, Lilian, and Sarah and let's get on with the chapter.
Chapter 28: Till Death Do Us Part.
The next day Shade woke up to Risa shaking him.
"GET UP SHADE!" yelled Risa.
"What is it?" asked Shade, groggily.
"You need to get up! Your wedding begins in a half hour!" yelled Risa.
Shade then jumped out of his bed and ran into the shower. After turning on the shower, Neo and Kami woke up.
"What are you screaming about?" asked Kami.
"I pranked Shade. He might kill me when he gets out, but it was worth it." Said Risa.
"What did you say?" asked Neo.
"I told him his wedding starts in half an hour." Said Risa.
"Um, yeah, Risa. You should know, I don't think he's going to stop at killing you." Said Neo.
At this point Shade came out of the shower and looked at the clock which read noon.
"Um Risa. My wedding doesn't start until 2:00 pm. I have two hours. Why did you-"Shade stopped suddenly when he realised that Risa was laughing. "Did you lie to me?" asked Shade.
"Um. Are you mad?" asked Risa.
"A little." Said Shade.
"Yeah I did." Said Risa.
"If I wasn't getting married today, I would cause you a lot of pain. But I don't want to get blood on me." Said Shade.
"Thank you. Considering I'm a bride's maid that would cause some unwanted problems." Said Risa.
"Point made." Said Shade.
"So this is really going to happen? You really are getting married?" asked Kami.
"I know what you mean. It's kind of hard to believe isn't it?" asked Shade.
"Yeah it is. But I am happy for you Shade." said a voice from outside the window.
Shade looked over to the window to see Emerald sitting in the tree.
"Hello Emerald. Nice to see you again." Said Neo.
"You too Neo. Shade? Maybe you should put on some pants." Suggested Emerald.
It was at this point Shade noticed that he wasn't wearing pants. He walked over to his dress outfit and put on his dress pants. "Sorry about that." Said Shade.
"No worries." Said Emerald.
"Anyways, we should probably get dressed and pick up everyone. But I have to be careful to make sure I don't see Velvet before the ceremony." Said Shade.
"Why?" asked Emerald.
"It's considered to be bad luck if the groom sees the bride before she walks down the aisle." Said Neo.
"Oh. See I don't believe in luck." Said Emerald.
"Neither do I. I just want to be safe." Said Shade, putting on his red under shirt and black shoes.
Meanwhile, Kami, Risa and Neo were putting on their dress clothes. Kami was putting on a traditional white under shirt and black jacket along with black pants and a black bow tie along with black shoes. Risa was putting on a pink dress that went down to her knees and a pair of pink high heels. Neo wore predominately pink dress with black accents here and there. She also put on a pair of pink high heels that weren't quite as high as Risa's.
"Looking good bro." said Neo after Shade put on his black jacket and his red tie. Shade brushed his hair and put some gel in it to keep it neat during the ceremony but still kept his right eye covered with his bangs.
"Thank you Neo. You look good too." Said Shade. He then left with Kami and Risa to pick up Ren, Coco and Blake and left Neo to get the others who weren't involved on the ceremony. They all began walking to the cafeteria as it was the only area in the school big enough to hold the ceremony. (AN- Everyone will be wearing the suits / dresses they wore on the date involving all the couples unless otherwise specified.)
"Ready Shade?" asked Sun.
"You better believe it Sun." said Shade.
"I just have to say, I did not expect this to happen so soon." Said Matt, walking in dressed in a traditional suit, other than his undershirt which was purple and his tie of the same color.
"I pretty sure none of us did." Said everyone as they arrived in the cafeteria.
"I never thought beacon academy would be the setting for a wedding." Said Ozpin, walking in.
"It does seem unexpected doesn't it?" asked Shade.
"Yeah it does." Said Yang.
"Doesn't this place seem a little plain for a wedding ceremony?" asked Weiss.
"I've got it covered." Said Ozpin, clapping twice.
At this point, all the other teachers came in and set the cafeteria up for the wedding. They set the chairs up to face the front and set up a stereo for the karaoke after the ceremony.
"Hey Shade? Can I talk to you for a sec? In private?" asked Kannon, clearly uncomfortable in the dark green suit Coco obviously forced him into.
"If this is about you wearing a suit, yes you have to." Said Shade.
"No. That's not it. It's about the karaoke. You see, I can't sing at all. I sound like a dying cat when I sing." Said Kannon.
"I wish I could help you dude, but maybe you could pretend to be sick." Said Shade.
"No. I don't want Coco to worry about me." Said Kannon.
"Well that makes it difficult. I'll try to think of something else but I might not." Said Shade.
"Ok. Maybe I'll think of something." Said Kannon.
"Hey guys? It's 1:45. Fifteen minutes left." Said Yang.
"We should probably start getting set up." Said Ren.
At this point all the Groom's men and Bride's maids went outside the cafeteria so they could walk in together like they should. Shade stood up at the altar and got ready. 'No turning back now.' Thought Shade.
A camera was set up to record the ceremony. Ozpin also took his place at the altar. Just as the clock hit 10:00 am, music started to play. It started with Sun and Coco walking down the aisle with their arms linked. After them it was Ren and Pyrrha walking down together followed by Kami and Blake, and finally Matt and Risa. Each of them took their place either behind where Shade was standing or where Velvet would be standing. As the music continued Yatsu and Velvet began walking down the aisle towards the altar. Velvet was wearing beautifully crafted white strapless dress made of lace that went down to her ankles. The only thing Shade could think of was how perfectly the dress fit Velvet's form. After Yatsu let go of Velvet's arm she joined Shade at the altar.
After Velvet was at the altar, Ozpin began speaking.
"Friends, Family. We are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Under normal circumstances, a wedding would not be permitted here at beacon academy. However, after seeing the love shared by these two, it was impossible to deny them a ceremony. All of us need and desire to love and to be loved, and the highest form of love between two people is within a monogamous, committed relationship. Shade and Velvet, your marriage today is the public and legal joining of your souls that have already been united as one in your hearts. Marriage will allow you a new environment to share your lives together, standing together to face life and the world, hand-in-hand. Marriage is going to expand you as individuals, define you as a couple, and deepen your love for one another. To be successful, you will need strength, courage, patience and a really good sense of humour. Especially you Velvet, because your marrying Shade." Everyone chuckled, including Shade. "So, let your marriage be a time of waking each morning and falling in love with each other all over again. Velvet, please repeat after me."
"I, Velvet…." "I Velvet." "Take you Shade…" Take you Shade." "As my lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, until death parts us." "As my lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, until death parts us." Finished Velvet.
"Now Shade, repeat after me. I, Shade…" "I, Shade." Take you Velvet…" Take you Velvet." "As my lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, until death parts us." "As my lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, until death parts us." Finished Shade.
"Do we have the rings?" asked Ozpin as Sun and Coco handed the rings to him. He held one out to Velvet. "Velvet, place this ring on Shade's finger, as a symbol of your bond everlasting." Said Ozpin as she put the ring on Shade's ring finger. "Shade, place this ring in Velvet's hand, as a symbol of the love that encircles you forever." Shade then put the ring in her hand.
"Shade and Velvet have made their declarations, and it gives me great pleasure to pronounce them husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Said Ozpin.
Shade moved the veil out of Velvet's face, smiled back at her, and planted a very passionate kiss on her lips as the rest of their friends clapped. As the music started again Shade and Velvet walked down the aisle holding hands. After they exited the cafeteria, they waited for a few minutes until they saw Oobleck wave them back in. When they walked back in, everything was set up for the reception. The karaoke machine was on the stage with a microphone. There were tables set up everywhere. And the head table was right up at the front. Shade and Velvet went and sat down with the rest of the wedding party. Shade began looking around and saw that everyone he invited was there, including Melanie, Miltia and Junior. They sat and spoke for a while until Sun walked up and started his speech.
Sun took a deep breath and began. "Hello everyone. As you know, I am Shade's best man, so it is customary that I give a speech. I have known Shade for years, and Velvet for a few months. Even though I have only known Velvet for a few months, I cannot imagine anyone more perfect for Shade, nor can I imagine anyone more perfect for Velvet than Shade. Even though Velvet wasn't Shade's first girlfriend here at beacon, I believe she is the best. No offense meant to Blake or Weiss. Shade, Velvet. I only have one thing to say now. You two are perfect for each other, and I am sure that if anyone can make a marriage work, it is you two." Said Sun as he finished his speech and everyone began clapping.
"That was a beautiful speech Sun." said Velvet.
"It really was." Said Shade.
"Thanks guys." Replied Sun.
"I think it's almost time we started the karaoke." Said Ren.
"Yeah we should. Let's get everyone." Said Shade, going over to Kannon.
"Anything?" asked Kannon, hopefully.
Shade shook his head.
"Guess we have to wing it." Said Kannon.
"Sorry man." Said Shade.
All the guys gathered up on the stage. "So what song are we doing?" asked Shade.
"I thought we could do Fight for You by Jason Derulo." Said Jaune.
"Good idea Jaune." Said Sun.
"Ready everyone?" asked Shade, just before he saw two people he didn't recognize walk into the cafeteria. There was a man and a woman. From what Shade could see the man was about 5 foot 9 inches tall with short grey hair and bright green eyes. The woman was 6 foot 2 inches tall has long brown hair and bright blue eyes with slit pupils. He looked at all the people sitting down and none of them noticed the two. He looked at all his friends on stage with him before he heard Kannon gasp.
"Mom? Dad? Is that you?" asked Kannon.
"Kannon! How are you son?" asked the man.
Kannon ran off stage yelling, "Go on without me! I need to catch up!"
"Alright then. Everyone else ready?" asked Shade.
Everyone replied with either a yes or a nod.
(Cue Fight for You by Jason Derulo.)
[Chorus]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men, or more, could ever do
Just like the rain, down in Africa
It's gonna take some time but I know you're worth fighting for -
I'd fight for you
Hey ba bum ba eh ba bum ba eh eh ba bum ba eh
I'd fight for you
Hey ba bum ba eh ba bum ba eh eh ba bum ba eh
I'd fight for you
[Verse 1]
Friends are cool but we both know - they don't wanna see us together
Don't wanna lose what I live for - I'm willing to do whatever
'cause I don't wanna see you cry
Give our love another try
I bet we get it right this time
As long as you're prepared to fight
[Bridge]
I don't wanna live another day without your body next to me
I'm not gonna let them break us down
'cause baby I know now
[Chorus]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
I'd fight for you
There's nothing that a hundred men, or more, could ever do
I'd fight for you
Just like the rain, down in Africa
I'd fight for you
It's gonna take some time but I know you're worth fighting for -
[Verse 2]
Lesgo
What they say - It don't even matter
They don't really understand
Without each other, we are barely breathing
Let's get air in these hearts a gain
'cause I don't wanna see you cry - give our love another try
I bet we get it right this time
As long as you're prepared to fight
Prepared to fight
[Bridge]
I don't wanna live another day without your body next to me
I'm not gonna let them break us down
'cause baby I know now (know now, know now)
[Chorus]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
I'd fight for you
There's nothing that a hundred men, or more, could ever do
I'd fight for you
Just like the rain, down in Africa
I'd fight for you
It's gonna take some time but I know you're worth fighting for -
I'd fight for you
Hey ba bum ba eh ba bum ba eh eh ba bum ba eh
I'd fight for you
Hey ba bum ba eh ba bum ba eh eh ba bum ba eh
If you've got someone that's worth fighting for
Don't let nobody hold you down let me hear you say
WOOOOOOAHHHHHH
If you've found someone that's worth dying for
The one you can't live without let me hear you say
WOOOOOOAHHHHHH
[Chorus]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men, or more, could ever do
I'd fight for you
Just like the rain, down in Africa
I'd fight for you
It's gonna take some time but I know you're worth fighting forrrrrrrr
WOAH
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
I'd fight for you
There's nothing that a hundred men, or more, could ever do
I'd fight for you
Just like the rain, down in Africa
I'd fight for you
It's gonna take some time but I know you're worth fighting for
After the song had ended all the guys took a bow on stage as their friends clapped. The got off the stage just as all the girls got on stage and started discussing what song they would do.
'I wonder what song they decided on.' Thought Shade.
As they selected the song, a beat that Shade recognized played.
(Cue Laser light by Jessie J)
In the blink of an eye
I was falling from the sky
In the blur, you took my breath away
And my heart starts beating
And my lungs start breathing
And the voice in my head starts screaming
I'm alive!
You're like a laserlight, burning down
Burning down, on me
You're like a laserlight, burning down
Burning down, on me
You make me feel good,
You make me feel safe,
You make me feel like I could live another day
You make me feel good,
You make me feel safe,
You know I wouldn't have it any other way
(D-D-D-David G)
(Je-Je-Je-Jessie J)
You and me, face to face
And there's so much I could say
On these words, and forever seem the silence
Can you hear, that box bre-brea-breaking
And the world starts sha-sha-shaking
They keep talking, talking, talking
But we're walking, walking, to the light
Tonight, tonight
You're like a laserlight, burning down
Burning down, on me
You're like a laserlight, burning down
Burning down, on me
You make me feel good,
You make me feel safe,
You make me feel like I could live another day
You make me feel good,
You make me feel safe,
You know I wouldn't have it any other way
Stop...please don't stop...I won't stop
We won't stop...
[x3]
In the blink of an eye
I was falling from the sky
In the blur, you took my breath away
As the girls finished everyone began clapping just as loudly as when the guys finished.
"You ready Shade?" asked Velvet.
"Always ready." Said Shade smiling.
"Less than three right?" asked Velvet.
You got it." Said Shade.
(Cue Less Than Three by S3RL)
One and one, you and me
Adds up to less than 3
This time, I'll show you why
It's meant to be (2X)
You and me, less than 3
I was blind, but now I see
I can't live without you in my life
Until now, I always thought I
Could live without you by my side, all the way
And so now, I hold you so close
I'll never let you go, you're my less than three
The beats, the bass
Here we go
The beats, the bass
Until now, I always thought I
Could live without you by my side, all the way
And so now, I hold you so close
I'll never let you go, you're my less than three
The bass, the beats
Now that I have you by
My side all the time
I won't, won't let you go
Ever again, all this I know.
You and me, less than 3
This is how we're meant to be
I can't live without you in my life
Until now, I always thought I
Could live without you by my side, all the way
And so now, I hold you so close
I'll never let you go, you're my less than three
The beats, the bass
Until now, I always thought I
Could live without you by my side, all the way
And so now, I hold you so close
I'll never let you go, you're my less than three
As the newlyweds finished their song, everyone began clapping. Shade and Velvet bowed and got off the stage. Music started to play and people gathered to the center of the room to dance. As a few people gathered Velvet joined them.
"Is it Ok if I go see what's up with Kannon before we dance?" asked Shade. Velvet nodded in reply.
Shade walked over to where Kannon and his parents were.
"Hey Kannon." Said Shade.
"Hey Shade. Come here. Mom. Dad. This is Shade. Shade these are my parents." Said Kannon.
"Nice to meet you." Said Shade, holding out his hand.
"Nice to meet you as well. My name is Carl and this is my wife Kezia." Said the man shaking hands with Shade. The woman then extended her arm and Shade shook it as well.
"It appears that you still show up just before I embarrass myself." Said Kannon, looking at his dad.
"I do have a knack for that don't I?" asked Carl.
"Yeah you do." Replied Kannon.
"Yeah. Remember when he showed up just before-" Kezia was interrupted by Kannon.
"Please don't bring that up in front of my friend mom." Said Kannon.
"Alright." Said Kezia.
"Buzzkill." whispered Shade, upset. "Anyways I think I should get back to my wife. Talk to you later Kannon." Said Shade, walking back over to Velvet. However, just before he got to her, Weiss came up to Shade.
"Hey Shade!" said Weiss.
"What's up Weiss?" asked Shade.
"Blake thinks we should play Mirror Mirror." Said Weiss.
"Really? I don't know. Do you think we can?" Asked Shade.
"If you can get your flute quickly." Said Weiss.
"Just a sec." said Shade running over to Ruby and handing her his scroll.
"Can you get my flute out of my room? It's under my pillow." Said Shade.
"Sure be back soon." Replied Ruby using her semblance to run out of the room. She was back in ten minutes with Shade's flute.
"Here you go!" said Ruby.
"Thanks Ruby." Said Shade, returning to Weiss.
"You ready?" asked Shade.
"If you are." Said Weiss walking towards the stage.
Velvet noticed Shade and Weiss get up on stage and shortly after everyone else did.
"Hey everyone. Some of you may know this, but I recently learned how to play the flute. I also wrote a song to go along with a melody I wrote. Blake has requested that me and Weiss preform it." Said Shade.
Everyone silenced themselves and sat down.
"Let's go." Said Shade, bringing the flute up to his mouth and starting to play. Weiss began to sing along. After they had finished the song everyone cheered loudly.
"Thank you everyone. Back to the party." Said Shade as the music started again.
He got off the stage and fond Velvet.
"Hey honey." Said Shade when he got to her.
"Hi hubby." Replied Velvet.
"We really did it. We really got married." Said Shade.
"I know what you mean." Said Velvet.
Just as Velvet finished speaking, a slow song came on.
Shade smiled and held his hand out to Velvet. "Would you care to join me in our first dance as husband and wife?" asked Shade.
"I would love to." Said Velvet, putting her hand in Shade's and walking with him to the dance floor.
As they got to the dance floor, everyone else cleared a space for them. They began dancing and continued for three songs. After they finished they broke apart and everyone else went back to dancing.
Shade looked over to where Melanie and Miltia were sitting, but they weren't there. Junior was still there. Shade looked around and saw them up at the front looking through the song list. When they found one, they selected it so it would play next. When they began walking back, Shade met up with them.
"Hey girls." Said Shade.
"What, no scare this time?" Asked the two girls.
"I'm in a suit. I have no freedom of movement." Said Shade.
"Makes sense." Said Miltia.
"By the way Shade, you should get ready for your favourite four words." Said Melanie.
Shade was confused until he thought back to the bar. "Shut up and Dance…" whispered Shade.
"Bingo." Said the two girls.
"Alright." Said Shade walking back to the circle of dancers. He waited for the song that was on to finish. After it finished, he heard the familiar tune come on. A large group of people entered the circle, including Shade and began shutting up and dancing. Everyone in a relationship looked to their significant other and entered the circle, including Velvet.
"Hey V-" Shade got cut off by Velvet.
"Shut up and dance with me!" said Velvet, along with the song. Shade smirked and grabbed her hand and they danced together until the song ended.
"That was fun." Said Velvet.
"Probably my favourite song of all time." Said Shade, leaving the circle.
"Really? I would have thought it was Angel with a Shotgun." Said Velvet.
"That song was what inspired me to start a band in the first place." Said Shade.
"Really? Interesting." said Velvet. Velvet and Shade began walking around and talking to everyone at the ceremony, who congratulated them. They partied well into the night. It was 10:00 pm when everyone finally left.
"Alright. I guess it's time to go back and get to sleep before we leave tomorrow." Said Yang.
"Yeah I guess so." Said Shade.
"Alright let's go then." Said everyone else.
Shade was at the back of the group. Just as he walked out, he heard a soft voice say "Congratulations Shade."
Shade turned around and saw no one. He thought back to the voice and after a few seconds of thought he knew who it was.
"Brittany. Thanks Britt." Said Shade, looking up.
After he caught back up to the group, everyone went back to their rooms. After about half an hour, there was a knock on Shade's door. Shade got up and opened it. He saw Velvet standing there in her pajamas. It was at this point that Kami, Risa, and Neo all woke up. When they saw Velvet entering their room, they spoke up.
"Where should we go?" asked Neo.
"Team JNPR's room." Said Velvet.
"Got it." Said Neo, leading Kami and Risa out of the room.
Velvet and Shade both ended up on Shade's bed. They began kissing until Velvet took off her shirt.
"Velvet. I just need to know. Are you sure?" asked Shade.
Velvet just smiled before kissing Shade again. "I've never been more sure of anything in my life." Said Velvet after she broke away.
Shade smiled back at her and took off his shirt.
"I love you Shade." said Velvet.
"I love you too Velvet." Said Shade as the ended their marriage day, with a passionate night.
Alright, there is Chapter 28. Now I'm sure many of you were expecting the lemon scene with Velvet there to which I can only say, I'm sorry. When I tried to upload the story with the lemon scene, it crashed my computer. I don't know if that was what caused it, but I'm not taking that chance. I am not typing out this whole chapter again. Again, I'm sorry, but I'm just being safe. Anyways, this chapter is over, and I will see you all in the next chapter! Goodbye!
