A sigh escaped her lips as she sat down in the sand. Her eyes looked out to the sea, sadly watching the waves. Lucy wondered if Natsu would ever love her as she did him. Watching the sea she did not hear the quiet footfalls behind her until a warm body was pressed against her back. Warm arms snuck around her waist and a chin rested lightly on her shoulder. Lucy turned her head to see the telltale pink hair of her bestfriend and teammate.

"What are you doing here Natsu?" Lucy whispered scared and nervous her voice shaking.

"Coming to keep you company. What are you doing down here all by yourself?" Natsu replied voice laced with concern.

"I'm thinking. Recalling the mission today and how we almost died." Lucy said tears forming in her eyes.

"But we didn't and that's what counts right?" Natsu nuzzled her neck in affection to calm her calm down.

She sat still with him still sitting behind her holding on to her.

"Lucy-I think i love you." Natsu mumbled against her neck almost too quiet for her to hear him.

Lucy gasped afraid that she was dreaming when Natsu spun her around his lips crashing onto hers. She hesitated for a moment before kissing him back. His tongue darted out to lick her lips, causing her to gasp and giving him the opening he wanted. He kissed her more urgently as if he was afraid he would lose her.

After what felt like hours but was only minutes they broke apart flushed and breathing heavily.


~time skip two days later back at Fairy Tail~

Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Happy burst in the guild doors shouting excitedly. Natsu dragging Lucy behind him raced to the bar where Mirajane was washing glasses.

"Mira! Where is Master?! I need to talk to him!" Natsu asked his voice on the verge of shouting.

"He is in his office." Mira replied sending Lucy a knowing glance.

Lucy blushed as Natsu dragged her up the stairs and knocked on Masters door.

"WHAT?!" came the angry shout from within.

"MASTER WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU RIGHT NOW IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT!" Natsu yelled excitedly.

The door opened and Master came out looking confused.

Natsu pushed Lucy in the room and raced in himself slamming the door shut.

"Master I want to ask permission to mark Lucy as mine! Please!" Natsu begged earning a shocked look from both lucy and Master who had never heard his voice sound so desperate.

"Well I give my permission. Lucy do you accept Natsu's offer?" Master turned to Lucy.

"Y-yes I do. I love him so yes I accept Natsu's offer to become his mate." Lucy shakily replied.

"Alright then done. NOW GET OUT OF MY OFFICE YOU IDIOT!" Master shouted at Natsu.


~Time skip few hours later~

"Natsu!" Lucy screamed.

Natsu just grunted in response to focused on his task of claiming his mate to respond. (AN if you can't figure out what they are doing then...i'm sorry)


~time skip four years later~

"MOMMY!" a little girl with pink white hair and golden brown eyes called running up to a busty blond by a sakura tree.

"Yes Layla?" Lucy answered.

"Iggy tried to hit me with his fire magic!" Layla cried burying her face into her mothers pant leg.

"IGGY!" yelled Lucy her voice terrfiying to the little four year boy who looked like his dad.

"Y-yes mommy?" Iggy asked his voice trembling.

"Don't ever use your magic on your sister!" Lucy replied angry.

"Y-y-yes mommy." Iggy said.

"Yay! Daddys back!" Layla cried distracted by a blob of pink hair in the distance.

Natsu saw his twin children running up to him while his mate walked slowly behind them belly swollen with another child.

He grinned in contentment thinking that life could not be better.
