Do I Hear Wedding Bells?

AN: Hello, all! Thank you for your patience. I am still updating this, I've just gotten busy recently because I got a new job! Yay! Enjoy this chapter, friends. :)

"Is that too tight?" Marjorie asked, tugging on the leather harness around your chest and waist. You shook your head and scrutinized your reflection in her shop, With Wind Comes Glory. She picked up your lantern catalyst and placed it on a hook attached to the back of the strappy harness to complete the look. You turned to the side, running your fingers over the red and blue flames Marjorie had embroidered on the waistband, shoulder straps, and the straps going up your chest.

"What do you think?" you asked, putting your arms out and doing a slow spin for her. She stood behind you and gazed at your reflection with you in the mirror. With your new Major's salary, you decided to splurge a bit and have a custom catalyst holder made so you could keep your weapon on you at all times. A Knight had to be ready for anything, of course.

"I think it makes you look phenomenal. I mean, look at those boobies!" Marjorie joked, pushing up your breasts, which were already being lifted by the corset-style waistband, further towards your face. You giggled and playfully swatted her hands away.

"The question is, does it feel okay?" she finished, sticking her fingers in between your shoulders and the leather straps again fussily, testing the tightness.

"It feels great," you said honestly, "I can barely tell I'm wearing anything. How did you get it done so fast?" Majorie laughed sheepishly.

"As soon as I heard you got a catalyst I started working on it," she admitted, "I was feeling inspired, I guess. Plus you know I'd do anything for my favorite customer!" You laughed and blushed a bit.

"It really is perfect," you remarked, turning your back to the mirror and looking over your shoulder at the small, blue flame inside the lantern hooked on your back. A pang of sadness suddenly hit you, but you pushed it away.

"Are you wearing it out?" Marjorie asked. You nodded so the two of you moved to the desk so you could pay.

"I'm gonna need it today," you sighed while handing her the mora, "Since Kaeya and I are on probation, we have to get a shit ton of work done." Marjorie nodded and handed you your receipt, which you pocketed.

"I heard about that," she commented, sounding amused, "You knocked him out in one punch, huh?" You both giggled.

"I'll see you later, Marjorie," you said coyly in response, smiling warmly.

She returned your smile and waved as you walked out the door. You turned right out of her shop and walked up towards Good Hunter where you had left Kaeya sitting at a table eating lunch. His eyebrows raised slightly as you approached.

"Well don't you look... busty?" he remarked, smirking and unable to keep his eyes from locking on your breasts. You rolled your eyes and crossed your arms to hide them, then leaned down to look him in the face.

"My eyes are up here, Kaeya," you snapped in annoyance, "Way to keep it subtle." He shrugged.

"You better get used to it," he told you, still smiling mischievously, "I'm not going to be the only one looking. Your white bread boyfriend is already over there staring at you." You winced and slowly turned around.

Timaeus jolted when you looked at him, like he had been caught, but quickly recovered and smiled at you. You returned his smile weakly and gave a small wave before turning back to Kaeya, your face a dark shade of red. Kaeya smirked at you gloatingly. You glared back until you saw Kaeya's eye drift away from you to something behind you.

"He's coming this way~," he warned you suavely, then turned away to act like he wasn't eavesdropping. You gasped and straightened yourself out, smoothing your clothes and tucking your hair behind your ear. Then, you pretended like you had no idea he was walking up behind you.
