Pairing= Nalu.

Now I'll start my collection of one-shots based on Taylor Swift's songs, and with this I hope to spread some positivity in the fandom! Each one will be for someone that feels bad, or to my friends. Or maybe someone random. I can't promise how often I'll write them, and they will not be in chronological order. Anyways, I hope you can enjoy them!
Natsu cracked an eye open as soon as the sun hit his face through the window, making him groan and throw his arm over his eyes.
They'd forgot to close the damned curtains, again.
Deciding he was too lazy to get up and close it, Natsu rolled over his back, facing his lovely wife, deep in sleep at his side, on their bed
Ah, she was so beautiful.
With her golden hair a mess, sprawled all over; her delicious lips parted on a quiet snore, which she always denied; and literally everything about her angelic face made his heart beat faster and his cheeks turn pink, even after being married for two years already.
He smiled lazily, still tired from his short sleep. He pushed her hair away from her face gently, caressing her cheek in the proces.
She really deserved the world, and here she was, sleeping at his side. That's why she was such a weirdo. He still didn't get why she'd pick him instead of someone worth her?
Because you're everything I need and want, she'd told him once.
He'd never been happier.
Slowly, she wrinkled her cute nose, and opened her tired eye. Her little frown made him grin.
"What happened?" she asked, her voice croaky and sleepy.
"We forgot the curtains," Natsu answered.
"Your fault," she accused.
He chuckled, slowly gaining a little giggle from her as well.
Ah, her laugh was the best sound he'd ever heard.
"Shouldn't you be getting ready for work?" she asked, rubbing her eyes.
"Maybe," he said. He couldn't tear his eyes apart from her figure, already sitting on the bed and looking everywhere.
She never let him focus -she didn't even have to try. He couldn't stop thinking about her.
She turned around and arched an eyebrow at him, showing no mercy.
"And what are you waiting for?" Lucy asked, trying her best to sound mad. "You have to pay the rent since I can't go to work for now,"
Natsu's heart flipped as every time it did whenever their little, upcoming baby was brought up on the conversation, no matter who was the one to say it. He still couldn't believe they were going to become parents.
He'd always dreamed about having his own, big family, and it was the perfect start.
He sat up on their bed, his eyes fixed on the little bulge that was her stomach, an unstoppable smile on his lips.
"Yeah…" he murmured dreamily.
Lucy smiled, and kissed his forehead. "C'mon, you're going to be late if you don't hurry up."
"But Lucy," he whined, snuggling his face in the crook of her neck, "I don't wanna,"
"Natsu," Lucy chuckled, running her fingers through his hair, like she always did. "You have to."
"I don't want to see Gray's face…" Natsu growled. At the same time, he took in her lemon scent, like that shampoo she liked to use.
He kissed her neck.
"Natsu," Lucy pushed him away, smiling happily. "Go get dressed."
He pouted, "You're so mean, Lucy." Lie.
"Yes, I'm the meanest," Lucy rolled her eyes. "Now go get dressed or you'll sleep on the couch tonight."
"Aye, sir," Natsu sighed, getting up and going to the bathroom.
There, he took a quick shower and brushed his teeth. He dressed up in his suit, but he left the tie untied, because after so many years, he still was unable to do it properly. He exited the little room, and walked in to see Lucy getting up from the mess of blankets. Struggling, she put her foot on the floor, but it got tangled and she tripped.
But before she could hit the ground, Natsu was there, with his arm around her waist,
"Hey, you should be more careful," he said, stabilizing her on the ground. He kissed her forehead, relaxing. That was a close call.
"Sorry," she smiled, looking into his eyes adoringly. "And thanks."
"You know you can fall to me," Natsu grinned. Because every time she smiled, he had to do so. "I'll always be there to catch you."
He enjoyed seeing her blush, her flustered expression, even after so many years. "S-Shut up and let me fix your tie."
Her little, soft hands grabbed the material around his neck and slowly started to do it like an expert. Natsu watched her with all the love.
"Seriously," she huffed. "You should be able to do it by yourself, big boy. You're going to be a father in five months."
Natsu chuckled, trying not to move too much so she wouldn't scold him. "Yes, yes. And you're going to be a mother!"
Lucy blushed, finishing his tie and looking at his eyes. "We will."
"Are you scared?" Natsu asked curiously.
"Maybe. Are you?"
"Maybe."
Natsu hugged Lucy closed to his chest, feeling better. Lucy made him feel better.
"Stop avoiding the fact it's your turn to make breakfast."
Natsu sighed -she always knew what he was thinking.
"And I don't want to eat burnt pancakes. I want something at least edible."
Natsu chuckled. "Okay, okay."
