Mistletoe Magic
Lucy awoke with a smile on her face. She turned towards her calendar. Yes, today was Christmas eve! Chrismas was one of her most favorite holidays. Friends, gifts, cookies and milk, what more would she want?
After a warm shower, Lucy entered her kitchen to grab herself some breakfast. "Hi weirdo!" A certain pink haired male was cooking something on her stove. "Hi nats—HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE AGAIN?!" Lucy jumped. "Lucy, we were just- "I don't want to hear you! Out! Now!" Lucy pointed to the door. Natsu made a puppy face, slumped and walked out of her house.
Inside the house, Lucy giggled. She was crushing on him for a long time now. But of course, that dense idiot had no clue. But her crush wasn't that big that she would allow him to jump in her house anytime he wanted. She sighed. If there was only a way to see if he liked her back. Lucy brushed off the thought. Tomorrow was Christmas and she needed to buy presents for the whole guild as well as her spirits. She had better get moving.
Natsu Pov
"Merry Early Chrismas everybody!" Natsu jumped from one table to another in excitement. "Get off the tables flame-head!" Gray fullbuster yelled. "Don't tell me what to do ice-princess, why don't ya go build a snowman?" Natsu smirked. "What am i? Elsa?" Gray was getting angry now.
"Well maybe you are!"
"Oh yeah?!"
"Yeah!"
"Bring it on!"
"Ahem ahem." The scarlet haired warrior came between Natsu and Gray.
"Erza!" both of them squeeked.
"Today is Christmas eve. I don't want any fighting today, do we understand?! Now go help Mira with the Christmas party arrangements, Natsu I will kill you if you burn down a single decoration, and Gray, find your clothes!"
"Aye sir!" both of them said together.
After helping out with the party arrangements, Natsu had to go Christmas shopping alone since Happy was with Wendy and Carla.
Natsu walked along the path as he thought about what to gift everyone. Happy, Erza, Gray,Lucy, Gramps, Macau, Romeo, Wendy, Carla, Asuka and the rest of the guild members.
At the end of the day he had bought gifts for everyone except Lucy.
He knew she'd love a key or something, but he wanted to give her something special. Something that she'd forgive all the times natsu's jumped in her house. Something that would always remind her of him. Something that'd tell her how special she was to him. Something that would tell her how much he liked her.
Lucy Pov
After shopping, she arrived at the guild. She was still upset that she didn't get anything for Natsu. She wondered what she was going to do. At the guild, she saw Natsu standing at the Request board. A job on Christmas Eve? She tapped his shoulder. "Lucy I found an easy job for us that pays a lot!" He looked excited. "Natsu, but— "Lucy, I promise, we'll get back in an hour." He assured. She looked at him, his smile, his onyx eyes, and- Natsu snapped in her face. "Lucy, are you okay?" Lucy snapped out of her daze, "yes." She said. Natsu's face lit up. "Lets go!"
Lucy had no clue that THIS was what she had signed up for. Natsu sat in a chair wearing a white beard and a santa suit. Another cute child came on his lap. "And what would you like for Christmas little man?" The child whispered something in Natsu's ear. Natsu's face drooped. But then he forced a smile at the little boy again and hugged him. The boy got off Natsu's lap looking extremely happy. Lucy, dressed as an elf, smiled sweetly and gave the boy a candycane. She smiled. They were finally done. She looked back at Natsu. He had this kind of sadness on his face that she couldn't decipher. "Natsu, What did that little kid ask for?" Natsu hesitated, and pulled off his beard. "He…asked for his father…to come back…" Natsu put on his old vest once again and held his scarf in his hand. Lucy could see him trying not to tear up, and gave him a hug. Natsu held Lucy tight. Lucy felt a hot tear going down her bare back. She too had lost both her parents…she understood Natsu's pain. She then forced a smile. "We will find his dad."
