A sweet, seductive scent was hanging in the air,
Green leaves and fresh white buds were blooming everywhere.
The streets of Magnolia were covered in pink and rosy red,
But our heroine was still fast asleep within her bed.
Suddenly, a terrible noise broke the silence in the spirit mage's chamber.
It was an alarm clock, ringing to wake the blond Fairy tail member.
Lazily she hit the snooze button and turned to face the wall,
That was when she found something she had not expected at all –
A boy with wild, pink hair lay sleeping at her side,
Lucy gasped horrified; she did not like what this implied.
"Why was her Fairy tail partner there?"
(And was he even wearing any underwear...?)
Then, she noticed, the dragon slayer was still wearing his black vest.
The stellar spirit mage sighed from relief and a heavy weight left her chest.
"I wonder how he got here?" she thought and poked lightly at his arm.
"He must be deep in sleep, I suppose, not to be woken by that dreadful alarm."
The dragon slayer sighed but made no sign of waking up,
So she poked him once again and waited for him to erupt.
Still, he continued just to snore and Lucy lost her patience.
She stood up in the bed and prepared, she knew just how to deal with these kinds of situations.
- Wake up you flame-brained idiot! she yelled while jumping up and down.
- Natsu, wake up! Come on you idiot it's time to go into the town!
The pink haired boy did not react and Lucy crashed onto the bed.
There was just no point in trying any more; that boy was as good as dead.
- I give up, she sighed and went to get some breakfast in the kitchen,
She found some bread and boiled some tea and fried some fire chicken.
- Mmmm! That smells great! a voice chimed from behind as Lucy poured herself some tea.
The dragon slayer walked into the room and smiled,
- Is there any left for me?
- Why were you in my bed!? Lucy yelled and threw the cup at her unwanted guest.
- Hey! Natsu said and ducked. You know that's were I sleep the best!
Lucy felt her anger boiling and then suddenly - BAAM!
Wow, the dragon slayer said while holding his red cheek. That was one great slam…
- Sorry, Lucy mumbled as she put away their plates.
- I guess we'd better get on going soon, the entire guild awaits.
- Oh yeah, Natsu said. There was something special about today?
- Not just any special, Lucy explained. It's Valentine's day!
- Clementine's day? the pink haired boy asked and laughed at his misquote.
- No, Valentine's… Lucy corrected and put on her thin spring coat.
They left Lucy's apartment to join the others at the guild.
Outside the sun was shining but the wind was still a bit chilled.
Birds were singing and some laughing children walked on by,
Red serpentines and pink balloons stood out against the bright blue sky.
- I don't get it, Natsu said and scratched the back of his head.
- If it's called Clementine's day then why is everything red?
- Valentine's day, Lucy repeated once again. Haven't you heard of it before?
- Is it when you dance around a cross and sing and chase after a boar?
- No… Lucy said (and what the fudge is that?)
They stopped just outside the guild, standing still on the welcome mat.
- Is it when you go looking for eggs and you have to search every millimeter?
- No Natsu, Lucy said with a smile. That sounds like Easter…
- So what do you do? the dragon slayer asked. Is this one of those things Mira says you shouldn't speak of?
- No, Lucy laughed and smiled. It's simply a day to celebrate love!
The dragon slayer looked quite confused,
- Lo-ve? he said and frowned.
- People give their loved ones gifts and tell them they're the most important ones around.
The dragon slayer seemed to consider this for a while,
Then he asked,
- Who are you valentining for? with a smile.
Lucy laughed and started nervously tugging at a seam in her coat that had come undone.
- I don't know, she said truthfully. I don't really have anyone.
- Then you can valentine for me! Natsu smiled and busted open the giant doors of Fairy tail.
To none of their surprise the guild was in full chaos, chairs were flying in the air and Gray's snowballs seemed to hail.
- Oi! Flame brain! the usual greeting came.
- Watch it, ice boy, or I'll burn you to a crisp with my flame!
Lucy laughed and dodged a chair,
Now there were furniture flying seriously everywhere!
The stellar spirit mage watched and smiled happily,
Fairy tail was her all; her home, her friends, her family.
As the clock struck twelve Natsu left the party with his faithful exceed friend.
They talked and laughed along the way as they crossed the outmost river bend.
- I wonder where Lucy went? Natsu thought aloud as the two were almost home.
- Do you think she walked home with someone or left all on her own?
- Erza wouldn't let anyone go alone, the flying blue exceed assured him.
- Right… the dragon slayer agreed but his tone was not for a second less grim.
He opened the door, walked in and threw himself at the bed,
Only to realize that his pillow was already occupied by a blond, stellar spirit mage's head.
The blue exceed curled up in his bed and purred under his cover.
- They liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike eachother…
