It's been a whole year since I published my first fic on this site and I couldn't think of a better time to publish my first fic of 2016.
Time really does fly; that's a lesson that Wendy had learned a long time ago. What were really years felt like days to her and it was all thanks to one person, her husband, Romeo Conbolt. They had been married for just about two years but she still felt like a newlywed. The two had so many great memories and whenever she looked back on any of them she would smile. The best part though was the fact that the two of them were going to be parents and Wendy was expecting in a few weeks.
Since his wife couldn't go out while she was nine months pregnant Romeo was in charge of going out one jobs and providing for his family. He had been gone for two days and was expected back soon so Wendy decided to make sure the house was nice when he got back. While she was cleaning an old book shelf of theirs she came across a photo album that's spine read "Memories". She slowly pulled out the book and blew off the thin layer of dust that was covering it. Sitting down on the couch, she opened the album and began flipping through the pages; she was so occupied that she didn't hear Romeo come home.
"I'm home," he announced closing the door behind him.
Wendy looked over her shoulder and gave him a smile, "Welcome home; how did the job go?"
"It went fine; what are you looking at?"
"It's just an old photo album I found while I was cleaning," she answered.
Romeo walked over to where his wife was sitting and leaned over her shoulder to get a better look at some of the photos. He smiled warmly as he pointed out one picture in particular. It was one of the two of them saying goodnight to each other but their cloths were stained and their hair was a mess.
"I remember this; it was taken the night of our first date," he pointed out.
She looked over at what picture he was pointing at and smiled, "You're right; I remember that really well. Do you?"
"Of course, how could I forget? I wanted everything to be perfect but everything ended up going completely wrong."
It was a warm summer day in the town of Magnolia and the local guild, Fairy Tail, was abuzz with its usual energy. Inside people were chatting, eating or fighting but there was one wizard who was a nervous wreck. A sixteen year old Romeo Conbolt was pacing around the guild hall waiting for his long time crush, Wendy Marvell, to get back from a job she took with his idol, Natsu. He had wanted to ask her out on a date for weeks but he always backed out at the last minute every time. Deciding that enough was enough, he promised himself that no matter what he was going ask her out as soon as she walked through those doors. No sooner than he finished going through his plan had Wendy and Natsu walked into the guild with smiles on their faces.
When he saw them Romeo started to feel nervous but before the feeling could set in he decided to take action. He slowly started walking toward the two of them and with each step his heart pounded harder and harder against his chest. It didn't take Wendy long to notice him walking toward them and she couldn't help but be happy to see her good friend. The two of them had started talking a couple of years ago after the Grand Magic Games and they had been close ever since.
"Hey Romeo," she greeted when he got closer.
"Hey Wendy," he said with a very noticeable nervousness in his voice.
"Are you okay," she asked concerned about his odd behavior.
Instead of beating around the bush he just came right out and asked her, "Wendy will you go out on a date with me tonight."
It was like time had completely stopped; nothing was moving as he waited for her to answer. Natsu just stood next to her with a shocked look on his face while Wendy was completely red.
"Sure Romeo I'd love to," she answered her face still as red as Erza's hair.
It took all of his self-restraint not to scream for joy at her response, "Great, I'll come by your place around seven," he said trying his best to keep his excitement hidden,
"Sounds good, I'll be ready."
He walked out of the guild while Wendy decided to go to the other girls to see if they had any advice. When she got to them they immediately began telling her things from how she should dress to what she should say to him during the date. The rest of the day went by quickly and soon Wendy found herself sitting on her couch waiting for a knock at her door. Soon enough it came and when she opened her door she was greeted by Romeo who was holding a rose.
"I know it's cliché but my dad made me bring it," he said offering her the flower.
"It's okay; I think it's beautiful," she said taking it.
"Not as beautiful as you."
"Were you practicing that line?"
"Yeah"
The two shared a laugh before Romeo took Wendy's hand and led her though the streets of Magnolia. Unknown to the both of them they had four pursuers close behind them.
"Okay, I don't think they saw us," Natsu whispered.
"Good we can't let them know we're following them," Gajeel reminded him.
"Why are you two even doing this?" Lucy asked.
"To make sure Wendy's safe," they answered.
"So why did you bring us along?" Levy questioned.
"So in case they see us we can just tell them we're on a double date with you two."
The two girls just sighed at their boyfriends' over protectiveness.
Romeo decided to take Wendy to a restaurant nothing to fancy but it was nice. During their meal, they told each other funny stories about what happened during some of their jobs making each other laugh while the four on lookers were watching from a distance.
"You're serious; your dad really tried to flirt with the client?" Wendy asked in disbelief.
"Yup, and because of that our pay was docked."
Wendy let out a small laugh while Romeo just continued to smile at her.
"Hang on Wendy, you have a little bit of food on your face," he said leaning over to get it.
When the two older Dragon Slayers saw Romeo start to lean in they decided to stop things before they could go any further. Before they could Natsu bumped into one of the waiters and Gajeel bumped into him causing all three to end up on the floor. A fight soon erupted between the two of them despite the two girls desperate attempts to calm them down. The restaurant was thrown into chaos while everything and everyone one was caught in the cross fire. It didn't take long for the two younger wizards to notice the fighting and Wendy wasn't happy when she realized that it was Natsu and Gajeel causing the trouble. She wasn't one to get angry but since they were trying to spy on her during her date all bets were off. Soon all three Dragon Slayers were causing trouble and by the end all six of them had to pay for the damages.
Natsu, Lucy, Gajeel and Levy disappeared soon after what happened and Romeo and Wendy were left to walk home in peace. When they got to Wendy's house before she could enter Romeo decided to say something.
"Other than the chaos that happened near the end tonight was nice," Romeo joked
"Yeah it was," she agreed.
"Maybe next time we could go somewhere without those other guys?"
"Yeah, I think that would be better."
"Goodnight Wendy," he said getting ready to leave.
"Goodnight."
She gave him a small peck on the cheek making them both blush like mad. While both of them were saying their good byes the other four were watching from a nearby alley way.
"Okay this is just way to good not to keep," Lucy said as she pulled a camera lacrima from the bag she was carrying
"Click"
