Natsu skipped to Lucy's house in anticipation. Today was the day he was going to ask her! They had been dating for three years now and he was completely ready to take it to the next level. He approached her apartment and with a sigh, he climbed up to her window. He noticed the shower was running, so he had time to contemplate how he was going to do it. As he fingered the black velvet box in his pocket, she left the bathroom and went into her room. She seemed slightly startled by his presence, but nothing unusual. After she got changed into her day clothes she greeted Natsu.
"Hey, did you close the window?" She asked, to which he responded with a grunt and a shutting of the window.
"Luce, come with me. I wanna show you something." She complied, and they left the house. They were headed for the river, a trail of memories awaiting.
They came up upon the river and he said, "D'you remember this? When you were sick and you wanted to see the rainbow sakura so I uprooted the tree?" She nodded and gave a quick peck on the lips and whispered, "It was very gentlemanly of you." They presumed on their trail, stopping at the sola tree.
"How about when Mira said we'd make a cute couple and you avoided me the while day and I was going to confess to you here but you seemed really put-off by that so I made that lame excuse about how there was a book of secrets under here?" She blushed furiously at that, which she still frequently did even though they'd been dating for so long, and asked, "You- you knew about that?!" He responded with, "Of course I did, Luce!"
They kept walking and landed at the outside of the guild and Natsu said, "Remember when I met that beautiful lost girl in Hargeon looking for Igneel? And I found something much better and I decided to take her to Fairy Tail because she seemed so obsessed about it and hebacame my partner? We shared so many memories, both happy and sad. I loved her since the day I met her and I still do. Lucy, you're the light of my life and the one I want to be with forever. Will you marry me?" At this point, said stellar mage was bawling her eyes out and chanting "Yes".
Natsu gives her a spinning bear hug then sets her down, kissing her with more passion than ever before. With the spectacle that just commenced, they had failed to realized that they were being watched, and at this point several of the guild members had fainted, namely Erza, Mira, Levy, and Gray. They received numerous hugs and shouts of congratulations and from then on, they were officially partners in every sense of the word.
