Lucy has always been to like romantic things but the one she is in love with is Natsu Dragneel who is definitely not the romantic type.
Though yesterday the Salamander came up to her looking rather awkward and stuttering he invited her to a dinner date with him and here she was in front of the mirror with 5 minutes left to spare before Natsu came in again through her window.
She was wearing a simple baby blue dress with a sash wrapping around her shoulders and pearls decorating her neck, wrist and ears. Her hair was left untouched except for a white headband on her head and her front hair being curled a little to create soft wavy hairs. An amethyst color purse in her hand.
Lucy decided against make-up today. She simply dabbed a little bit of gloss and face powder wanting to look as natural as possible for her date. Date?! Could this even be called a date? Is that what Natsu even think of it? Lucy wondered idly when suddenly there was a knock on her door. Lucy stood up and hurried over only to be surprised by the sight of Natsu who is for once having manners and knocking the door instead of sneaking in through the window.
A small grace her lips. "You look nice Natsu." Lucy complimented. Though there was nothing different in his attire than the usual. He is still wearing his everyday clothes to the guild. That formal looking clothes with one long sleeved whilst the other sleeveless. The attire might possessed no difference but the aura is somehow different.
"As do you, Luce." Natsu grinned. "You're good to go?"
"Yep." Lucy smiled as she locked the door to her apartment and walked towards Natsu.
Natsu gulped when suddenly his hands came up from their hiding behind Natsu holding a vase with roses. 13 to be exact. "Lucy, I like you!" He said out of sudden. "I know you like romantic things but I'm not good at it. Though as you can see I'm still giving it a shot."
Somehow Lucy giggled at that although her face are a shade of burning red.
"Mira told me people usually gave a number of real roses and one fake roses. Then she told me why and how to do it. She also told me to avoid 13 as it is an unlucky number."
"Clearly you disobeyed her." Lucy replied looking at her roses which was in the shade of soft pink, the hair color of someone whom she knew well too much.
"Haha because I think the story is ridiculous. So hear my speech instead. Not those that have been known by the world or repeated many times. You see all of them are alive because saying my love dies when the last petal falls and the last rose is a fake doesn't that make the feeling of that person too is a fake? 13 because the rose will die one by one. 13 is unlucky but our luck is already rotten." Natsu cracked a smile. "I am willing to go through hardships and wither away slowly with you, the 13th rose."
Natsu didn't anticipate Lucy's next movement though. A kiss on his lips by his beloved one.
"That is somehow sweet and I like it really. I like Natsu since the beginning and you don't have to force yourself. I like the real Natsu Dragneel."
"Lucy Heartfilia, is that a yes?"
Now that was so OOC. 1st NaLu fic ever!
