Prompt 1: Gifts
Rating: K
On Lucy's birthday, Natsu's gift was rather selfish.
It was July 1, 4:27 PM. He heavily knocked on Lucy's apartment door—usually, he would have simply entered through her window, but she didn't seem to like it very much when he did. It was her special day, so he didn't want to put her in a bad mood.
Lucy opened the door, shocked to find Natsu standing there behind it with a hand behind his back. She cocked her head, and Natsu marveled at how lucky he was to have caught her at home that day. The guild had thrown a big party for her, but Lucy had left early because she hadn't felt very well, unfortunately.
Natsu greeted her with one of his trademark grins. He held out a white box to her in one hand, mentioning that he never got the chance to give her her present.
Lucy gazed down at the small gift, and she took it from his hand and opened it. She gasped in delight, removing it immediately and slipping it over her hand. Natsu couldn't resist buying it for her; the gold bracelet had pretty gems that reminded him of fire and stars at the same time. It was perfect for Lucy, and he hoped it would remind her that he'd always be with her, even if they were apart.
But the real reason he got it was for himself—it had been expensive, but when her face broke out into such a pretty smile as radiant as the sun itself, he had to beam back at her.
Her happiness was priceless and spread like wildfire, and he was greedy and fed off of it.
He'd do anything to see her smile. Jewels were nothing compared to that.
I hope you enjoyed that~ I may or may not write longer stories for the other prompts, depending on my muse. For now, I hope this was a good start for my tribute to NaLu week 2014! c: Please review!
