Hey guys ! This was originally a one-shot for Natsu x Lucy x Loke but considering I can't stop writing , I'll make it into about four to five chapters XD . Before I continue , I will only warn you once . If you have a virgin mind and virgin eyes , do not and I mean do not read the chapters that are about to come . They contain smut , so if you are very sensitive to this sort of things , I suggest you don't read it . Thank you and have fun reading it ! ;)

Regrets

Chapter 1

Lucy was taught from a young age that we have to live with our own decisions . To be exact , Layla Heartfilia taught her that one day when young Lucy was given the choice between getting a bar of chocolate or a toy doll . Obviously Lucy chose the latter and later regretted it . As the blond mage make her way down her street to her beloved guild , she began to revisit all the memories she has had over the years in Fairy Tail . Her favorite moment was when Natsu Dragneel brought her to her now home . Natsu . His name and face was like a tatoo in her heart , like she has gotten it after the Phantom Lord incident . Yes , eventhough it was painful to admit it , Lucy Heartfilia was in love with the Fire Dragon Slayer who was dense , crazy and destructive . She sighed as she thought of all the opportunity she had to confess her feelings to him but she chickened out . Her excuse ? Lisanna Strauss . Lucy would constantly deny the fact that the pink-haired mage might actually have feelings for her , just because of Lisanna and Natsu's past together . She would always get jealous when she caught them engaging in conversations that didn't include anyone else but themselves . But after the white haired take-over mage got together , surprisingly , with Bixslow , it was evident to Lucy that there was nothing , ever going on between Natsu and her .

Obviously when this realization hit her hard , she has already moved on . With who ? She smiled at that before looking down at her belt . Her eyes lock on her set of keys , no , not her house keys . Her set of keys that held immense power from her Celestial Spirits . Though she considered all of them as her equal friends and not her servants , she can't help but give that one spirit of hers more attention than the rest . Leo or now known to her and her guild mates , Loke was her one savior , just as she was his . She saved him physically and mentally when she faced the Spirit King bravely , demanding that Loke was pardoned of the crime he was falsely accused of doing . He was on the verge of disappearing forever but because of the love she held for all Celestial Sprits and the bond they shared , he once again lived to see another day . While Loke , saved Lucy emotionally , the orange-haired spirit knew that his master was in love with a dense rock and eventhough it pained him to see the only woman he ever loved love another , he still was by her side , like the mighty lion he is . After going through a phase and overcoming the barrier she had always tried to cross , she couldn't thank Loke enough . Soon after , their friendship bloosomed into something even more when the infamous playboy stopped flirting and playing around . He was serious . Serious about Lucy .

It has been over half a year since Loke and Lucy started dating . It was certainly a shock to everyone but all of their guild members acknowledged their relationship quickly when they realised that Loke and Lucy meant business . Heck , even the mighty Titania , who was always protective of Lucy and thought of her as her sister , gave them her blessings . Lucy laughed at that thought , finally she had someone who loved her just as much as she loved him . Before she realised anything , the blond mage was already in front of her guild . She pushed the two doors open slowly before taking a step in . Lucy's eyes widen when there was no one in sight . Did all of them go on a mission she didn't know of ? Loke asked me to meet him at the guild , presuminly to go on a mission . Oh well , she closed the guild doors and walk towards the bar where one of her best friends worked at , Mirajane . Surprisingly , the elder sister of Lisanna wasn't there . How odd .

The blond slowly walked all around the guild , looking for any signs of life . No , not a single soul . She was so caught up in looking for someone or someone that actually moved , she didn't notice the setting of the guild . The tables in the guild that were usually bare were now lined with red fabric and on the red fabric , stood a single vase and a red rose . Each legs of the tables were tied with either a pink bow or a few pink carnations . From the ceiling of the guild hung a strings of different colors with end tied to each other . If you looked closely , you will notice that the strings joining together formed the shape of a heart , not the part of our anatomy , of course . Concentrating back to the table , the Celestial wizard realised that there were balloons with a letter tied to the seat . Was it Valentine's Day or something ? She turned her head to the bar and noted that the calender stated it was only January the 23rd . Was it the guild's anniversary ? Was it somebody's birthday ? Many questions formed in her head buther train of thoughts were cut off by a small envelope on one of the tables . It was addressed to her .

My dear Lucy ,

I know you are probably wondering what is going on but let me give you a hint . Form a few words with the letters on the balloons . We both know how crazy you get when there is a word puzzle . Oh , and don't kill me once you've gotten the sentence .

.P.S. There are only four words

Love always , Loke .

Lucy blushed at the fact that he remembered how she would get frenzied over a word puzzle she could not solve . Okay , let's see . I took out the magic pen that Mira gave me , the one where you can write in the air . O , L , A , Y , E , M , W , L , U , R , I , R , M , Y . A few minutes gone by and she still can't figure it out . This was getting on the blond's nerves . Okay , calm down , Lucy . Knowing Loke , it is probably a four word phrase that is a complete cliché , she told herself before thinking of all the clichés she could think of . No , not that , what about ? No way . It cannot be , can it ? She hurriedly grab her pen and wrote quickly in the air the four daunting words . No . Freakin' . Way . The blond mage could feel drops of salt water pouring from her eyes . She reached her hand up to feel whether the tears were real or not . Yeap , they were . Not wanting to fall down because of her blurred vision , she took a seat at one of the tables . The Celestial wizard leaned her head against the table and let the red cloth on it soak up her tears .

After what felt like a few minutes of crying , she felt a pair of arms wrapped around her waist . "Hey , why are you crying , sweetheart ?" , a voice as smooth and sweet as honey asked before Lucy felt herself being lifted off the bench and onto someone's lap . She quietly opened her eyes before staring into those pair of familiar eyes . Lucy felt a slight bit angry , so she used both her hands to bang against his chest , attempting to make him feel pain but not a lot of it . "It's not funny anymore , Loke . It's not . I can't keep doing this anymore ." , her voice cracked now before she felt his hands capture her fists . Lucy was now crying to the point that if she did cry some more , her eyes will be red .

"I am not kidding , Lucy ." , he said in a serious tone .

She was about to protest and tell him he was not funny anymore when he pulled a small velvet box out of his pocket . The Celestial spirit gently place his lover back onto the bench before he stood up . The blond now only took in his attire , ever since they started dating , he would wear his old green jacket and jeans but now , he was wearing the suit he would normally use when before he became hers . But his suit now looked brand new , there were no creases anywhere and this time he wasn't wearing his usual blue glasses . Lucy turned her attention back to him as he was kneeling on one knee , left hand holding the now opened velvet box to reveal a diamond ring . She was shocked , never would she thought he was serious . Yeah , they were seriously dating but she didn't think he was this serious .

Noticing his master and lover was speechless , he took the opportunity to take hold of her left hand . He was about to recite the speech he has prepared a month earlier . "Lucy , I know I am not worthy of you . You are more than just beautiful and intellingent , you are kind , pure , generous and so many other adjectives I cannot think of . Everytime I look at you , your golden blond hair reminds me of the Sun . And that is what you are to me , you took a no-good stranger in and you gave him new life . You didn't even know me and you sacrificed your own life just to save me . If that is not love I don't know what it is then . I know that I may not habe the right to tell you what love is considering the fact that I used to play around but I love you . I loved you ever since you gave me another reason to live and that reason is you and our friends . This is fast I know but would you do me the honor of making me the happiest man and spirit alive by marrying me ?" , he said without a pause or hesitation .

"Loke..." , was all Lucy said . She was so touched by his speec , never once did anyone do anything this amazing for her . No one . After a few moments of silence , she recovered and nodded slightly with the biggest smile on her face , "Y-Yes , I will ." . She could feel her eyes tearing up again she she stared down at his shocked expression . He didn't need her to tell him her answer again , he quickly slipped the ring onto her finger before standing up . Loke could feel his own eyes tearing up too , he used both his hands to cup her face . He looked into her eyes and wondered how did he get so lucky to have a woman like her in his life . "I love you so much , Lucy Heartfilia ." , Loke said as a tear rolled down his cheek . She smiled and replied , "I love you too , my lion ." , he then leaned his face forward and captured her lips with his . Unlike most of their other kisses , this was passionate yet gentle . Lucy then wrapped her arms around her fiancee's neck and pulled his face closer to hers as their kiss deepens .

She could hear cheers from all around the guild hall , the loudest was surprisingly , Erza , Levy and Mirajane . But Lucy and Loke didn't care about the noise in the background , all they cared about now was each other and they did not even break their kiss when they heard the male population whistling . But alas , they could not very well keep kissing , once they broke away , their swollen lips were noted by everyone in the guild . They laughed as they were being teased at while Master Makarov begin opening the champagne bottles and surprisingly , Cana didn't take one sip as she wanted to enjoy the fact that her close friend , who helped her through tough times was now engaged , without getting drunk . Lucy was overwhelmed with joy and she did not once leave the grasp of her Lion's hold , she liked the celebration but what she loved more was Loke . The blond was enjoying herself but she did feel the slightest bit of sadness washing over her when she realised that a certain pink-haired best friend of hers was just sitting by the corner of the guild . His usual friendliness and spirit to turn everything to a fight was not there at all .
