…
(Riku's POV)
I turned around and stared at the blazing cake. It was only on the base, and the fire wasn't spreading, but it wasn't going out either.
"Oh shit…" I heard someone say. I instantly recognized the voice. I got off my knee, walked over to the side of the cake where it was flaming, and saw Axel halfway underneath the tablecloth, his finger pointed toward the cake. It had icing on it, and it was burning.
"Nice one, Axel," I muttered.
"Hey, I didn't want to wait till they cut the cake!" Axel whined. He got up from underneath the table, dusted his clothes off, and estinguished the fire. Everyone kept staring at him.
"What?" Axel glanced at the part of the cake that was burnt. "Oh, right. Sorry…"
"Axel, you idiot! You could've put the whole ballroom on fire!" Kairi shouted. Axel shrunk back and hid behind the cake. "Oh no you don't! I'm not letting you near that cake again!" Kairi chased Axel around the table. She lurched, and fell right into the cake.
I'd like to say I tried to control my laughter, but I'd be lying so bad that Benadict Arnold would look like the God of Truth. I was bent over double, my gut practically falling out. I couldn't stop laughing long enough to breathe. I looked up, and saw Axel was in even worse shape.
"I'm…so…sorry…Kairi," he choked out. Kairi managed to get up, and angrily wiped the cake from her eyes.
"You. Little. Bastard!" she stormed. She ran up to Axel and tore at his hair, scratching at his face with her perfectly-manicured nails.
"Hey, hey!...Ow! That hurt!...STOP!"Axel tore Kairi off of him, and she ran to Sora, messing up his suit with the cake now plastered on her dress.
I turned back to Namine. She was biting on her knuckle, trying to hold in her own laughter. My hand clenched on the small black box in my hand.
If I'm going to ask her at all, I might as well make a big deal out of it.
I grinned. Besides, it'll cheer Kairi up.
"Hey everyone!" I shouted. All eyes were suddenly on me. I felt a dab at my confidence, but I didn't let it ruin me. I walked slowly over to Namine. She looked throughly confused, but gave me a small smile. I bent down on my knee one final time, and said,
"Namine, I love you. Will you marry me?"
Kairi gasped in delight. Sora grinned goofishly. Everyone in the room was staring at us. They might as well have put a spotlight on me. I looked Namine right in the eye. She looked shocked, but not aghast. More like pleasantly surprised. Suddenly, she beamed at me.
"Of course I'll marry you!" She put her arms around my neck and burried her face into my shoulder. "I never thought you'd ask," she murmured. I put my arms around her and held her tightly.
"Awwwh! That's so sweet!" Kairi squealed. She seemed to forget her anger at Axel, for she was jumping up and down and clapping her hands like a child. Namine drew back and kissed me quickly. I slipped the blue-diamonded ring on her finger.
"Namine, we have to talk! There're so many things to do! And so little time, too!" Kairi said. She pulled Namine up and gripped her wrists. Namine blushed.
"Kairi, we don't even have a date for it yet!"
"Oh well! Time is time, and it's best to get things done before times runs out-"
"Coming from the biggest procrastinator I have ever known."
Kairi's smile only got bigger. She pulled Namine through the crowd.
"Help meee!!" Namine laughed, holding out her hand to me dramatically. I smiled and let Kairi drag her.
"Ack! What kind of fiance lets his almost-wife be kidnapped by her sister?!"
"Kairi!" I called when they were almost out the door. Kairi turned back. "Don't torture her too much." She smirked.
"I won't," she promised. With that, the door shut with a BOOM and everyone started cheering. The music went on again, but no one was dancing. They were too busy congratulating me.
"Hey Sora!" I greeted once I managed to get free of the crowd. "Sorry for stealing your spotlight on your wedding day!"
"Ah, I don't care! I never really wanted a big wedding," Sora said. Suddenly, his eyes widen to the point where they resembled large plates. "You need a bachelor party!"
"Ah…Isn't that Kairi's department?"
"I suppose. But still, you need one. I'll get Kairi to plan you one." Sora ran off, probably to find someone who could tell him where Kairi was.
Bachelor party…It couldn't be that bad. What's the worst that could happen?
…
A/N: Once again, I'M SO SORRYY!!!! And I know this was shorter and probably a bit rushed. Ah, well. So, now you know how the cake caught on fire! And how much of a procrastinator I am!
I'm telling you right now, I have absolutely no clue what I'm going to do for Riku's bachelor party…Just, look out for Yuffie. I wanted to put her in this chapter, but I decided not to.
Don't hate me too much for slow updates. It'll get better in the summer, promise! :D
OH! AND, I'm telling you now that I plan to add in a chapter at the end where it's been like five years Riku and Namine are married and they have a kiddie…
So…Bye!
*disappears, and reappears in England*
What the….YES!!!
