Hi there, Ophiuchus 13 here~
This time around, I'll be focusing on my favorite couple from Fairy Tail: Natsu and Lucy. These one-shots will come whenever I don't have writers block c:
Here we go!
"Why do you even bother putting make-up on?" The rose-haired boy scrunched his nose as he watched his blonde partner applying mascara to her blonde eyelashes.
"'Cause I like the way I look with it on, ok?" Lucy Heartfilia replied, adding her final touches to her eyes before placing her make-up back in her bag and leaving it on the counter in her bathroom. She left the room without another word, shutting the light off behind her and leaving the Dragon Slayer in the dark. He gave a light whine and followed, trotting behind her easily. Lucy merely rolled her eyes at her companion and moved to her dresser to search for some clothes to wear.
Once she found the right outfit, she pushed Natsu out of her bedroom without much difficulty, shutting the door in his face with a muffled 'sorry!' coming from the other side. He huffed and turned away from the door, moving to plop down on the couch with his currently sleeping Exceed, Happy. Lucy emerged from her room a few minutes later, completely dressed and now running her manicured fingers through her blonde hair. She hummed happily as she tugged her favorite boots on and slipped her keys onto her belt. Turning to Natsu, she spoke with a smile. "Ready to go?"
The response she got was a grunt accompanied by a nod and, gathering the still sleeping Happy, Natsu got to his feet and moved to her side. "I still don't get why you wear make-up," He frowned at her, onyx eyes peering into her own chocolate brown ones. She only frowned back, shutting off the lights to her apartment and closing the door behind them.
"I've already explained this to you, Natsu. I like the way I look when I'm wearing make-up," She spoke as she walked, the pair well on their way to Fairy Tail, their beloved guild. Natsu's frown only increased and the blonde kept glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, refusing to face him for those intense eyes would only make her heart skip a beat.
"You look pretty without it, Luce." His reply was simple and blunt, yet she couldn't help but breaking into a bright grin. Most girls would want to be told something a little sweeter, but she was content with Natsu's completely serious compliments. They truly meant the world to her, even if they were hard to come by. Hell, he was normally insulting her instead of complimenting her. She felt a blush heat her cheeks and quickly stretched up, turning her face to catch his cheek with a quick kiss.
The fire mage made a soft, surprised noise and turned to look down at the blushing girl. "What was that for?" He questioned, his tone curious. Her grin grew even bigger at his question. "You really don't know, idiot?" Lucy paused, taking a moment to look at his bewildered expression. She laughed lightly before continuing. "It was a thanks. You know, for calling me pretty," She smiled at him as she reached up to ruffle his unusually colored hair. He made a happy noise and she giggled.
"You don't have to thank me. I was just stating the obvious," Natsu flashed her one of his infamous lopsided grins, amused when she returned it easily.
"Still, thanks. Now, come on! Let's go!" The blonde exclaimed and quickly took the hand that wasn't holding their sleeping Exceed, tugging him forward with a dainty laugh. He chuckled and followed her, happily looking down at their intertwined hands as they moved. He couldn't help but think that he was pretty lucky she had decided to wear make-up today.
Hope you enjoyed this one, guys! Don't forget to review if you liked it~ c:
