Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious or there'd be waaaay more Bade.
AN: So this somehow got in my head and I just wrote it down. Don't know what it is exactly. The tense and the style (I believe) is new for me so I'd be happy about some feedback. It's not inspired by a Song, but by a update on the slap so I thought it still fit with the title. Working on a song idea too, so it should be up soon. And this is Bade fluff and Cade friendship and a bit of Candre if you squint.
She is sitting at the asphalt cafe enjoying the silence that came with being let out of class ten minutes before the bell and the rest of the class using the time get their stuff into their lockers without having to wrestle the usual mass of people during break.
That is until she hears Cat skipping towards her singing her name over and over again like she's going to tell her she just won the Oscar, or something.
"What", she snaps opening her eyes, just to see Cat in all of her bright glory ,red-hair, neon-pink shirt, green skirt, yellow high heels, right in front of her. How she's able to match all those colors, she'll never know. Not that she wants to.
Cat just smiles at her and then looks at her with her best puppy dog eyes.
"Can I be your bridesmaid? Pretty please?"
To say that she's surprised by this question, is an understatement, but just a slight one, because it's Cat after all and if she's one thing, it's random.
"My bridesmaid? Cat, I'm 16. I'm not getting married. Where did you get that idea?", she tries to be as gentle as possible, but the idea of her getting married alone sounds ridiculous to her.
"I know, but on the slap you said you want to get married in Hawaii, and I just wondered if I could be your bridesmaid then."
Now she remembers. That silly post. It had been more about being able to throw someone into a volcano than the getting married part.
"Oh well, I guess you can be my bridesmaid then." Because it's a long time until then and Cat has a memory like a sieve and even if she'll remember it, it probably won't be that bad. Better than Vega, in every case.
"Yay!", Cat claps, "One time my brother was at a wedding, but he nearly ate the rings, so he had to leave."
"Fascinating!" And the sarcasm has her back.
It's later that day and she's with Beck in his RV, like always, when he sits down next to her starting to nudge her, and stating with that silly sing-song voice of his: "Soooo, Cat is gonna be your bridesmaid?"
She rolls her eyes. "Ugh, she told you? That girl can keep nothing to herself. She read my slap-post and asked. I just didn't want to deal with her crying and begging all day, so I said yes!"
Yeah, like he will believe that. But it's worth a try.
"Yeah, sure! Anyway, she asked me if André could be my best man, so she'd have to dance with him and she could sing a song with him, instead of holding a speech. Looks like she's got it all planned out!"
Gosh, had that damn girl nothing else to do?
"I can still throw her into the volcano.", she growls.
The more she hears, the better that idea sounds, although without Cat she'd probably have to resort to Vega as a bridesmaid. Better not thinking about that.
"Oh, come on, it's cute. At least she thinks that we're going to get married."
"Great!" Sarcasm, obviously.
Not that she doesn't want to marry him. She had thought about his parents and a few fan girls, when writing about people who could object, but it's not like he needs to know that. Not now, anyway.
"So you don't want to marry me?"
Wow, not only does he sound hurt, but also like her, asking if he wants to break up with her.
"Not what I said." That is the closest to admitting that she wants to marry him, he is going to get from her.
Judging by his smile, he knows what she meant. Damn, he is good.
Not that she wants to complain about the kiss the answer gets her. Or what follows.
A few years later
She's sitting on the sofa of their newly bought apartment, enjoying the new living room, that now is officially theirs. And nothing against Beck's old RV, which has been a great home to them, but they needed to move on. Or grow up. Whatever.
When she opens her eyes, she sees Beck kneeling in front of her, with an open ring box in one hand.
Before she can even realize what's going on, he's already talking.
"Babe, I don't know, if you still want to have that Hawaiian wedding, but I sure hope you still want to marry me. So would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
At first she just sits there, paralyzed. This can't be happening. But then she looks at him again and into his eyes and all she can do is kiss him, and somehow the ring, beautiful and black, how cliché, ends up on her finger.
She isn't so sure about the location anymore, though throwing someone into a volcano still seems fascinating, but she's damn sure she better holds that phone far away from her ears when she tells Cat that she's going to get her dance and duet with André.
Please leave a review ;)
