Okay, so here you go. There's gonna be some excitement by Chapter 10. ENJOY:D
Chapter 8 - Will You Marry Me?
SIX MONTHS LATER
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, dear Makaaaaaa~ Happy birthday to you."
Maka opened her eyes to the smell of cake. She sleepily stared at Kid, Liz, Patty, Tsubaki and Blackstar standing over her.
"Thanks, guys!" She smiled big, rubbing her eyes before sitting up in bed.
"Make a wish!" Liz shoved the cake into her face with eighteen colorful lit candles. Maka closed her eyes and blew out the candles, wishing so hard that she and Kid would never be separated.
"Okay, now Kid's turn." Liz grabbed the match box and started to re-light the candles.
"Guys, our birthdays are a week apart. We can celebrate later. Besides. I'm not eighteen." Kid stated.
"Oh, that's right. You came in two years late. Graduated at twenty, and will soon be twenty-one! DRINKING TIME!" Liz yelled.
"Liz, you're not even twenty." Patty laughed as Liz came to realization.
"HA WELL YOUR GOD DOESN'T FOLLOW THE RULES! I DRINK WHENEVER THE HELL I WANT!" Blackstar cut a huge slice of cake and ate it in one bite.
"No you don't. We don't even have liquor in our house, hun." Tsubaki smiled nervously.
"IS THAT ANY WAY TO TALK TO YOUR GOD!?"
"Makaaaaaaaaaaa CHOP~" Maka threw an encyclopedia across the room that just barely missed Blackstar's head.
"HA, YOU MISSED PEASA-" BAM! She threw another one and it hit dead center. The blue haired maniac fell over in unconsciousness.
"Nice one, baby." Kid sat down on the bed with Maka while Liz, Patty and Tsubaki sat on the floor next to the unconscious Meister. When they had finished the cake, Liz and Patty had gone downstairs to escort Tsubaki and a still unconscious Blackstar home. Maka looked at the clock.
"It's only 1PM." Maka looked at her schedule book. "We don't have a mission until Friday. Tomorrow's Thursday and your father is coming over for dinner at five."
"What do you want to do?"
"Hmm..." She smiled brightly and snaked her arms around his neck. She kissed him deeply while his hands found their way to her waist. He guided her down into the bed, climbing on top of her. He took a hand away from her waist to her hair and tangled his hand in the blonde locks. She let herself relax as Kid licked her bottom lip, asking for entrance. Maka complied happily. The spark between them could set the world on fire, they had great chemistry. Kid pulled away slowly, letting their lips graze each other. He looked into her eyes and frowned. He used one hand to smooth her face.
"How dare he make you asymmetrical..." Kid muttered, closing his eyes and kissing the scar.
"Kid..." Maka blushed and looked away.
"I'm glad he didn't hurt you any further. I can live with you being asymmetrical - you're beautiful either way. If he hurt you more, I would've killed him... I want to kill him still... Marring my beautiful girlfriend..." Kid buried his head in the crook of her neck, still on top of her. Maka stared at the back of his head, her heart racing a mile a minute.
"I love you." Maka said, petting his hair.
"I love you too, Maka." Kid rolled onto the other side of the bed. He straightened out his shirt and Maka fixed the blankets in her lap. She scooted over to Kid and curled up against him.
"I have to go shopping." Maka said. "We need groceries for dinner tonight."
"Want me to go with?" Oh, and that's another thing. Kid had finally started to let Maka go out on her own. He figured that Soul was either dead or long gone, so he was able to relax a little.
"I should be fine. We only need the seasoning and some butter. I'll walk."
"Really? Okay, I'll prepare everything else."
"So why is your father coming over tonight?"
"It's something important."
"Can't you tell me?" Maka poked his cheek.
"You'll find out." He held her hand and kissed it lightly. She got up and put on some black baggy sweats and a black tank top. She let her hair down from it's ponytail and put on a pair of black and white Converse. She grabbed her satchel with her iPod classic and Audio Technica(ATH-M50s).
"Alright, I'll be back in about half an hour." Maka kissed Kid who sat up on the bed when she left. He went to the empty drawer and pulled out the velvet box, looking at the ring once more. It was a silver band with a small black diamond in the middle with two smaller diamonds on each side. It was perfectly symmetrical, and that's why Kid bought it. It looked like the wedding band, but Kid knew that Maka would hate it if he spent too much money on her. Which he pretty much did with the new clothes, the new car, the new iPod, the new phone, and now this.
Maka walked down the street with Bring Me The Horizon blasting in her headphones. She walked into the mini market about a mile away and grabbed the seasoning, the butter and the drinks - Martinelli's sparkling apple cider. Someone bumped into her and made her seasoning fall. She pulled off her headphones as she went to get it, but another hand got it before her. She looked up to see a handsome man, who looked about her age. He had short blonde hair and he wore blue jeans, black converse, and a shirt with "Bring Me The Horizon" written on it. He looked at her and handed her the seasoning.
"Can You Feel My Heart." He said.
"Huh?" Maka looked confused.
"The song."
"Oh, yeah!" She laughed. "I love this band..." Maka started to walk with her items to the counter. When she set them down, he spoke.
"So do I." He smiled. "My name's Christian, but you can call me Chris."
"Nice to meet you, Chris." Maka extended her hand. "I'm Maka.
"Wait... Maka as in Maka Albarn?" Christian's eyes widened.
"Yeah. Why?" She gave him a questioning look while handing the cashier the money.
"I'm Christian Lee!" He yelled a little too loudly with excitement written all over his smiling face.
"You're my new weapon?" She asked. her voice displaying pure shock.
"Yep!" He smiled brighter. "When Lord Death assigned me to you, I was so honored. You graduated at the top of your class, and you're rare... No... You're a species of your own. Black blood, mixed with meister blood, mixed with weapon blood. You're a scythe that can change the size of your blade during battle! You're a legend by yourself! You and Soul Eater Evans defeated the Kishin Asura!" He jumped up and down.
"Shhhh!" Maka said. "Everyone knows who I am."
"What happened to Soul? He was your partner. What happened to him? Are you two still living together? Did you end up making him a Death Scythe?" He asked. Maka's eyes started to water. "What happened to your face?" He reached out to touch her face when the slapped his hand away.
"We're no longer living together. No, I did not make him into a Death Scythe. And He did this to me." Maka let a tear slip down her cheek. She walked out of the mini market with her heart breaking. Christian followed her. "Look, it's great you're happy to meet me and all, but I've got to get home and make dinner. You can come by Gallows Manor tomorrow. We'll train in my facility. I hope you're good, kid."
"I'm twenty!" He pouted.
"Yeah, well... I just turned eighteen today." Maka smiled. "See ya tomorrow."
"Wait! How do I know where it is!?" He asked.
"Where does the son of the Reaper live?" Maka yelled, walking away. She slipped her headphones on and decided to take the scenic route home. She walked through the park, listening to Sleeping with Sirens.
"LIZ! PATTY!" Kid called from downstairs.
"What, Kid?" Liz yelled from upstairs.
"Come down here, please." Kid put his hands on the counter and leaned against it while they sat at the bar. "Move over." He said. They scooted over until they were in the center of the bar.
"What is it?" Patty asked, holding a stuffed giraffe close. Kid put the velvet box on the table and motioned for Liz to open it. She put her hand over her mouth and dropped the box.
"KID! THIS IS ALL WRONG!" She stuttered and stammered until Kid shut her up by laughing.
"It isn't for you, dipshit. It's for Maka. I'm going to propose to her tonight." Kid grabbed the box and put it in his pocket.
"Good, cause I'm dating Kyle." Liz said. Kid nearly choked on his own spit.
"Anyways... I need your help. We need to clean the house, invite Tsubaki and Blackstar over for the after-party, and prepare the food. Tell Tsubaki and Blackstar to be here by 8PM. When Maka comes home, you need to dress her up..." Kid walked over to the closet in the living room and pulled out a beautiful black strapless dress with small sequins in the middle( . ). "...in this."
Liz and Patty grinned from ear to ear in the creepiest way possible.
"YES SIR!" They grabbed the dress and ran upstairs to prepare the ultimate pamper for Maka.
"Honey, I'm home!" Maka smiled as she walked in the door. She set the bag from the market on the counter and leaned over to kiss him.
"Ah, I love the choice of drink." Kid said, putting the drinks in the fridge for chilling. He put the butter by the counter and the seasoning on the chicken and in the oven for a slow and thorough cook.
"Well, it's 2PM now." Maka said, looking at her watch. "Should we get ready?"
"I think you should." Kid said. Immediately after that, before Maka could speak, Liz and Patty raced downstairs and dragged her by the arms upstairs.
Maka was kicking and screaming. They stripped all her clothes off and shoved her in the bathtub. The bathroom looked the same as the one in Maka and Kid's room.
"Wait! What is this!?" She asked, thrashing left and right. Patty and Liz held their wicked grins.
"We're getting ready for Lord Death." Liz took one of Maka's legs out of the water and rubbed vanilla body wash all over. She repeated the process with her entire body. Patty washed and conditioned her hair with vanilla scented hair products. Liz pulled her hair out of the water and gave it a small trim. She then let the waist-length hair fall back into the tub. They both pushed her under the water and rinsed her off.
Patty put her in a chair and grabbed the waxing kit. "It says here to heat up, apply, put the fabric over it, and then remove." Patty put her hand to her chin in thought.
Liz started blow drying her hair and straightening it. Patty waxed Maka's entire body. As in ENTIRE body. They rubbed vanilla lotion all over her and did her nails. Now, it doesn't seem like it'd take that long, but it took two and a half hours. They put light foundation on her and gave her a cat's eye to bring out the emerald green pools of beauty. They put small black diamond studs to match her dress and let her hair cascade down her shoulders to her waist. They helped put on her dress and her shoes( . ) which were covered in sequins like the dress. Even with the heels, the dress still touched the ground and Maka was still short.
Liz and Patty put on a small black dress that crossed in the back and strappy black heels( . ). They were perfectly symmetrical, and so was Maka. Liz and Patty strove to make everything perfect.
Kid stood at the bottom of the left staircase and looked at his watch. Five seconds after he put his hand down, the girls came down the staircase. Kid's mouth dropped open and his heart began to race. Maka looked beautiful. Liz and Patty were symmetrical. All was right with the world. Kyle came downstairs to accompany Liz. He looped his arm around her waist and faced Maka.
"Little sister, I feel we should announce we're dating." Kyle said proudly as Liz hid her blush. Maka's jaw dropped open as she reached for Kid's hand.
"So she finally found someone." Patty muttered.
"Maka, you look beautiful!" Kid exclaimed. Maka blushed hard before looking him in the eyes.
"Thank you. You look very dashing yourself." Maka put her head against his chest and he rested his head against her soft blond hair.
"You're still short." Kid teased.
"You're just too tall." Maka pouted. Kid wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her in for a kiss.
"Is that vanilla I smell?" Kid asked, stroking her hair, and caressing her skin.
"Yeah." Maka blushed, looking down at his chest. Kid kissed her forehead.
"I love vanilla." He whispered to her. Maka's eyes immediately shot over to Liz and gave her a wink and an approving grin.
"He'll be here any minute." Kid grabbed Maka and held her close to him, facing the door as Liz and Patty walked over and opened the doors symmetrically. Lord Death entered the home with Spirit in the back. Maka's grip around Kid's hand tightened, and Kid pushed her behind him a little.
"Hello, Father." Kid greeted his father with a heartwarming smile, and so did Maka.
"Hello, Lord Death." Maka bowed slightly.
"Hiya! Hello! Hi Maka, Kiddo!" Lord Death floated into the foyer with his cheery voice. Liz and Patty escorted them to the dinner table and they all sat down. The table was extremely large with only eight chairs(Kid: SYMMETRY IS KEY!). Lord Death sat at the head of the rectangular table and Kid sat at his right-hand side and Maka on the left. Liz sat next to Kid and Patty sat next to Maka. Of course, Kyle sat next to Liz and Spirit sat next to Patty. The other end of the table was empty, with only a chair to fill.
"So Kiddo, what did you call us over for?" Lord Death tried to sound clueless, and to Kid's relief, Maka bought it. Maka got up to serve the food and drinks. She came around with a huge tray in her hand and delivered the empty cups. She took a Martinelli's bottle and poured everyone a glass. She put an open bottle of Martinelli's in the center of the table, one for each pair and an extra for Lord Death. She went into the kitchen and brought out a perfectly symmetrical plate of slow baked season chicken, a small salad with thousand island dressing, jasmine rice with fresh coconut on the top, and a small purple flower on the side of the plate to add color. She set the plates in front of her guests. She nearly slammed Spirit's dish against the table. She walked over to her seat and sat down to eat.
"What a beautiful meal, Maka!" Lord Death exclaimed.
"Kid helped too." She said. "In fact, most of it. I was um... preoccupied." She finished, giving Liz and Patty a small smirk.
"Well either way, it's still beautiful." Lord Death smiled as he ate his food. No one knows how he ate it, or where it went, but he cleaned his plate in one bite.
"Would you like some more, Lord Death?" Maka asked, reaching to take his plate.
"Yes, please." Lord Death patted his mouth with the fabric napkin. Maka plated some more food and placed it in front of Lord Death. He ate it, again, in one bite.
"Would you like more, sir?" Lord Death held up his hand.
"No, that was plenty, thank you."
"Let me know if you'd like something more to eat." Maka smiled as she finished her food. When they were done, Maka cleared the dinner table of plates and placed them in the dishwasher. Kid explained to the table what he intended to do when Maka came back with dessert. Kyle looked over to him with shocked eyes.
"You hurt her, and I'll rip your dick off and deep fry it then hot glue it back on." Kyle said, letting the words flow off of his tongue in the most effortless way, his eyes full of venom and love for his sister.
"I-I unders-stand, sir." Kid subconsciously moved his hand to his crotch and shielded it from any threats.
"Good." Liz said, her eyes fixing on Kid's crotch. "Cause I'll do it too."
"Me too!" Patty chimed in, folding a paper giraffe and then ripping it apart. She looked at Kid with a menacing look that clearly showed her emotions.
"Anything to say, Spirit?" Lord Death asked, cocking his head to the side.
"No." He said simply, looking back in his lap. Kyle resisted the urge to beat him to a pulp, and so did Kid.
"Okay! Here's the cheesecake!" Maka placed a full cheesecake in the center of the table and placed seven plates next to it. She pulled out a knife and cut the cake, giving an even slice to everyone, except Lord Death. Maka secretly made his a little larger and Lord Death's eyes became brighter and winked at her.
"Enjoy!" Maka said brightly.
"Where'd you get this cheesecake?" Kyle asked.
"I made it yesterday." Maka stated, stuffing her face with cheesecake.
"It's good, Maka!" Patty yelled, cheesecake falling from the corners of her mouth.
"Everyone!" Kid stood up and held his glass high, tapping it with his fork and creating a high chiming sound. "I have a toast to make. As of today, Maka is eighteen. This is not only a birthday dinner, but a dinner that will change all of our lives, if Maka so wishes it to be. She is eighteen, no longer under the control of her father, but in control of her own life. And let's face it, she's been an adult since she was fourteen. She's been an adult longer than I have. And today, I'd like to ask her a very important question." Kid set the glass down and walked over to Maka, holding out his hand for her to stand. She gladly accepted it and he held both her hands. He looked into her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Maka. I have only known you for two years, but to me it feels as if I've known you for longer than an eternity. I have fallen so hard for you over these past six months, and I am willing to die for you no matter what. You must know that. Unfortunately, six months ago, even a month ago, I was too scared to permanently make you mine. Although I understand you don't belong to anyone, my heart belongs to you, and I hope your heart belongs to me." Kid got down on one knee and pulled out the velvet box. "Maka Albarn. Love of my life. Beautiful, kind, true, amazing, and perfect Maka. I have never felt this way about anyone, and my heart is yours. Will you do me the honors of becoming my wife?" Kid opened the box and revealed the ring. Maka's eyes filled with tears and she put her hands over her mouth and tears started falling.
"Will you marry me?" Kid looked at her with eager eyes. Maka dropped her hands from her mouth and let them fall to her sides. She looked him straight in the eyes, her emerald eyes clouded with tears of joy.
"Yes."
