A/N: I saw this prompt on onetruepairingideas on Tumblr, went, "that sounds funny", was hit by a streaking plot bunny, then parked my bum and wrote this in about 30 minutes. I hope you like it and it makes you laugh. Leave a review if it did, yeah?

Prompt: This is probably a bad time, but marry me?

"Look, this is probably really bad timing, but will you marry me?"

Lucy could barely hear Natsu's shout over the sound of the screaming mob. But she heard him.

And nearly keeled over from shock.

He saved her from a rather messy and unpleasant death and continued to drag her along, not noticing how much his words affected her. It was like he had asked then forgotten to wait for an answer! Honestly, the man was infuriating! And Lucy was going to make her feelings on the subject known!

The way she normally did.

By yelling.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Lucy screamed at him, her voice rivaling the mob's clamor. Natsu cast a grin over his shoulder and winked.

"YOU HEARD ME!" He shouted back.

"NO I DIDN'T, YOU FLAMING, INFURIATING, STUBBORN IDIOT! SAY IT AGAIN WHERE I CAN HEAR YOU!"

Natsu skidded to a halt, whirled around, and dropped to one knee, grasping her hand tightly. It was like he didn't even care about the mob behind them. The mob that was out for blood. That was right on their heels.

Lucy stared at him. Was he really going to…?

"LUCY HEARTFILIA, I LOVE YOU AND I HAVE LOVED YOU FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE KNOWN YOU AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD FOR ME AND I WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH YOU. I KNOW THIS IS A BAD TIME TO ASK, BUT WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

Oh Mavis.

He really…

He really just asked her to marry him.

Natsu Dragneel had just asked Lucy Heartfilia to marry him.

Someone call the press.

And possibly an ambulance. Lucy looked as if she may die.

Or spontaneously combust.

Or burst into tears.

Or all of the above.

Behind them, the mob had stopped and grown silent, unsure of what exactly they were seeing. As one, they all rubbed their eyes, blinked, and rubbed their eyes again. Because it looked an awful lot like Natsu kneeling on the ground and then they heard it. Natsu's shouted, heartfelt confession/proposal.

It was enough to soften the most hardened mob. But what was Lucy's answer? They didn't have to wait long.

"OF COURSE I'LL MARRY YOU, YOU IDIOT!"

A chorus of awwwws went up from the watching mob. Natsu and Lucy, who had been wrapped in an embrace, turned scarlet faces on their guildmates.

"What are you staring at!" Nastu barked. "Aren't you guys the ones just chasing us for not telling you we were dating this whole time? Get out of here!"

Howls of laughter burst from them as Natsu swept Lucy up and began running again.

They kept laughing until a thought struck Mirajane.

"Wait, Natsu just proposed after telling the guild that he and Lucy were dating. You don't think he and Lucy would go get married right now, do you?"

They hadn't thought about that.

"NATSU! LUCY! GET BACK HERE!"
