At that moment, Lucy swore she just made the biggest mistake of her life. First of all, she went off and slept with one of the biggest celebrities that was known to man-kind, and then she gets pissed drunk and marries the guy? What was wrong with her?! How could she let this happen?! She normally didn't drink that much or do such reckless things like this but how did this happen? Why did she end up sleeping and marrying Natsu Dragneel?
What would her mother say? She would kill her!
"Oh my god—what am I going to do?!" Lucy cried out by herself as she look around nervously. "How am I going to get out of this now? And what about Natsu?" She then realized that she was freaking out by herself. "Speaking of Natsu..." she narrowed her eyes to the ground as she looked over to the king sized bed where the said male was sound asleep.
He seemed so careless and peaceful which made her angrier, the blonde stomping over to where he was to grab the pillow beside him and beat him with it.
He immediately woke up, crying out in surprise and confusion.
"W—what the—?!"
"This is your fault!" She screamed making him grab the pillow and yank it away, the look of bewilderment plastered on his face.
"What the fuck?!"
"Don't use that kind of language with me!" She scolded as she grabbed the pillow from him again to cover her naked body. "You have explaining to do!"
"Explaining? What the hell are you talking about and why the hell are you naked? What are you even doing here? What's going on—?" He started to say until he realized where he was and what the situation was. He immediately sat up, making Lucy jump in her spot. "Don't tell me... did you and I... did we—?"
"Yes, we did! But there's more to it than just sleeping with me," she pulled the piece of paper put to shove it in the face of the celebrity. "we're married!"
Widening his eyes and making a face of confusion, Natsu snatched the piece of paper away from the female and read the headline of it. Once he was done, his entire face went sheet pale and he was as still as a statue.
"What are we going to do?! We're married!"
"What even happened last night?"
"How the hell am I supposed to know?!"
"Wait," the rosy-haired male spoke as he looked in her direction. "I remember you telling me you're a news reporter... don't tell me you—"
"What?!" Lucy cried out. "Are you serious right now?!"
"You never know!"
"I can't believe you! I would never swoop that low to get some inside scoop! Regardless, I wouldn't marry somebody just like that!" She shouted in anger and offense as she started to hit the actor with her pillow making him guard himself and snatch it away once more. "Give me that back! I'm not done hitting you, jerk!"
"Hell if I am!" He shouted right back, standing up to make her squeal and turn away.
"Put some clothes on!"
"You don't even have clothes on!"
Realizing she was butt-naked in front of a guy, Lucy shrieked and grabbed the sheets from the bed, trying to wrap herself like a burrito.
With her face furrowed and blazing red, the blonde looked at the well sculptured butt and back of the fallen star.
She never said he wasn't hot.
"W—what are we going to do? Can we go and break off this marriage saying it was a drunken mistake?"
"Shut up for a sec," the male waved her off as he pulled his phone out of his pants pocket that was hanging on his chair. "I'm going to call my lawyer."
Watching the male across the room do what he needed, Lucy just realized how badly her legs were pulsing and how her core was aching. How long has it been since she slept with a guy?
"Crap, it hurts," she hissed under her breath, pressing down on her thighs as Natsu turned around to see what she was talking about.
When he realized she was talking about her legs, he smirked.
"Have fun walking today," he said making her lift her head up and shoot him a glare.
"You know, normal guys would apologize."
"Who said I was a normal guy?" He asked before he turned his back to her again. "Yes, hello, Gildarts? Yeah, it's me. Uh, do you think you can meet up with me like as soon as possible? I'm kind of in a pinch." He turned to eye the woman again as he noticed she was wearing his shirt, the material awkwardly hanging from her lips. He couldn't take his eyes off the woman as he heard almost nothing his lawyer said. "Yeah... uh, the same cafe. Uh-huh... Mmm, yeah, okay, see you later."
"What did your lawyer say?" She asked, looking up at his so innocently making swallow thickly. "Is he going to help?"
"Uh, we're gonna go meet him soon so we should get ready..." He eyed her, taking a good look at her. "By the way, why are you wearing my shirt?"
"It was the closest thing I could find, sorry, I'll give it back—"
"No, it's fine. It... suits you."
"Are you complimenting me Mr. Dragneel?" Lucy teased making him smirk.
"Can't I compliment the woman I've slept with and the woman is now, is my wife?"
Listening to the things he was saying, Lucy felt her cheeks redden as she looked away, scowling slightly. "H—hey, we are not going to mention this... after all, it was just a mistake."
"Mistake or not, you're still my wife."
"Look at me, I'm living the dream come true," she rolled her eyes as she let out a sigh. "every girl must be jealous that I'm married to the Natsu Dragneel."
"Yeah, but, don't forget, I'm also a fallen celebrity." The rosy-haired male snorted as he sat down right next to the woman, grabbing his cushion to place it on his crotch. "So, you're not going to die or anything." He snickered as he leaned against the headboard, a sigh flying out of his lips. "By the way, don't you have work or anything?"
"Maybe later," she eyed his wall clock. "I have to go to my apartment and change clothes so it doesn't look like I'm wearing the same outfit two days in a row."
"I'll take you home," Natsu offered. "where do you live?"
"Why? So you can stalk me?"
"Can't I know where my wife lives?"
"You're enjoying this too much, aren't you?" Lucy narrowed her eyes to the space between him as Natsu let out a snicker.
"Of course," he casually wrapped his arms around his head. "I love seeing you all so flustered."
"Are you some kind of sadist or something?"
"Nah," he smirked in her direction, running his hand through his hair in habit. "just love seeing women effected by me." He said smugly making her roll her eyes and hit him with her pillow, swinging her legs over to sit by the edge.
"Tell me where your bathroom is so I can shower and we can quickly head to my apartment."
"Only if we can shower together,"
"In you stupid wet dreams," Lucy flushed red, standing up to cross her arms over her chest. "where is your bathroom?"
"I told you, only if we can shower together."
"Natsu—"
"C'mon wifey," he gave her a knowing look. "let's shower together."
"I swear to god if you call me that one more time I'm going to hurt you."
"Wife—"
Grabbing the closet thing Lucy could find, she threw his phone that was quietly lying on the night stand right at him making him yelp and guard himself.
"Ow! What is wrong with you—?"
"If I manage to flood your bathroom or mess something up, you better not bitch or whine about it." She waved him off before walking away.
It left Natsu sitting there in complete disbelief as he watched the back of the woman disappear somewhere in his flat.
—X—
"You've been here before? This is like, my favorite coffee shop." Lucy said as the two entered the small shop that was dedicated to coffee. "How come I've never seen you here before?" She questioned as she and the fallen star entered, Natsu giving a shrug while he looked around the room for his lawyer.
"Guess you never tried hard enough."
"Like I would look for you?"
"Why wouldn't you?" He smirked, giving a cocky look. "I'm the best."
"You're so cocky," she rolled his eyes as he snickered.
"But you like that, don't you, Mrs. Dragneel?" He purred against her ear making her flush and nudge him with her elbow, trying to push him away.
"You are so full of yourself!"
"It's because you complete me."
"I am really regretting talking to you..." Lucy let out a sigh as she pressed her palm against her forehead as the male laughed, grabbing her shoulders to guide her.
"There," he pushed her towards a table where a male was sitting. "that's my lawyer."
"He doesn't look like one..."
"Yeah, well, he's one of the best. Hey Gildarts!" He called out making the male look up and Lucy gasp out loud.
"Did you just say Gildarts? As in... Gildarts Clive?!"
"Yeah, you know him?"
"Of course I know him! He's—!"
"Lucy? What are you doing here?" Gildarts spoke in pure surprise as he stood up, eyeing the pink-haired male to the blonde who was also giving him the same look. "Natsu, what are you doing with Lucy?"
"You know her?"
"Yeah, she's my daughter's best friend." He said making Natsu's eyes widen and look at Lucy to see if he was kidding but when she nodded, he gawked.
"Okay, uh, let's sit down, first." He gestured them to sit as they pulled the wooden chairs out and sat themselves down in front of the male. "Now, I wanna ask... what are you doing here, Lucy? I know why this idiot is here but you—? I didn't even know you knew Natsu."
"Well, you see..." she sheepishly smiled as she dug inside her purse to pull a piece of paper out. "Last night, Natsu and I made some kind of drunken mistake and we were wondering if you can help?" She asked as she looked down at the paper while Gildarts gave Natsu a look, mouthing if he got a poke at the female. When Natsu smirked and nodded, the two fist bumped as Lucy handed the paper towards the lawyer, totally missing the small exchange between the two.
"Alright, let's see." Gildarts took the piece of paper from her hands as he put his glasses on. "Da da... Hmm... Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfillia... wait, married?! You two are married?!" He almost screamed in shock as the people around looked to see what the chaos was about. "How did this—?!"
"Gildarts, please!" Lucy hushed him as she glanced around nervously. "You're too loud!"
"How did this happen?! How can you be so dumb, Natsu?!"
"What—?!" The male practically shouted right back. "She's part of it, too! She signed it, too!"
"I don't blame her, I blame you. You probably said something or did something and ended up getting married!" He pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "What am I going to do with you?"
"Don't look at me, you're the lawyer here! You tell me!"
Letting out a deep sigh, Gildarts stated down at the piece of paper. "If the press found out, you would explode—" he started mumbling but stopped when he realized something.
The couple in front of him stared at him in wonder, watching how wide his eyes looked.
"Gildarts—?"
"Lucy, you said you worked for the magazine company, Sorcery Weekly... right?"
"Yes, I do."
"Do you think... you can write about this? I believe this will bring attention back to Natsu and will bring him back since he is, a fallen star." He looked over at Natsu who looked like he got a great idea. "So, do you think you can?"
"I mean, I can't write about something that concerns my life but I can bring this in and let somebody else write about it."
"That is fine, as long as it still gets published."
"But wait... what about breaking this marriage off?" She flickered her eyes towards Natsu who also gave her a glance, her brown orbs adverting to the male in front of her.
"Well you see," he let out an awkward laugh. "erm, I'm going to have to ask you to, uh, stay married to Natsu for a bit."
"Wait... what?!" Lucy screeched, this time grabbing the attention for herself. "I thought I came here to see how you can get me out of this, not bring me into it even more!"
"I know, I know, let me explain," Gildarts let out a sigh as he pulled his glasses off and flickered his eyes towards Natsu before looking back at his daughter's best friend. "you see, Lucy, our dear Natsu here is a fallen star." He gestured towards Natsu who raised his eyebrows at the male. "And to bring back attention to the male, it's going to be hard. That is why if somebody wrote about the fallen celebrity Natsu Dragneel getting married to regular fan Lucy Heartfillia, it'll bring the attention back. They'll wonder about this and that and the more attention it gets, the more popular he will get."
"Oh, I see what you're saying!" Natsu cried out as the two gave him a look before looking back at one another.
"So, you're saying..." the reported swallowed thickly for a moment. "that I need to stay married to this idiot so he can gain popularity and attention once more?"
"As bad as that sounds... yes."
Opening her mouth to start yelling at the man in front of her, Lucy paused in her movement as she remember what her head editor told her just yesterday.
"Well you see, you haven't gotten a hit story in many months and if that doesn't change by the next issue... I'm going to have to let you go."
This was the perfect opportunity to grab that scoop her editor told her to grab. This will bring her back and this will allow her to keep her job she was so upset about that she was thrown into this position. This was God that was giving her the second chance to redeem herself. This was it. She couldn't be angry about it, she was just going to throw herself into a worse position.
Biting down on her bottom lip, Lucy adverted her gaze to the star beside her and back at Gildarts who both seem to wait for her reply.
After a moment of mentally fighting with herself, the blonde let out a groan and pressed her palm against her forehead.
"Fine," she practically hissed out making Natsu sit up straight and his eyes widen. "I'll do it."
"You're the best!" Natsu cried out as he wrapped his arms around the woman and thrust her into his chest making her flush scarlet. "This is perfect!"
"L—let me go!" She squealed as she shoved the rosy-haired actor away. "Stop touching me and I'm not doing it for you," she hissed, fixing her hair. "I'm doing it for me."
"Thank you, Lucy." Gildarts smiled at the woman. "This means a lot to us. It'll most likely be a month or two, after then, you can go back to your normal life."
"Alright." The blonde let out a sigh as she took back her marriage license and shoved it in her bag. "Now, I'm going to go to work and inform my boss about this so," she stood up, sticking out her hand. "I'll see you sometime soon, Gildarts."
"Pleasure seeing you, again. Tell Cana to call her daddy because I miss her!" He whined making Lucy smile slightly.
"I will. Thanks for everything." She turned to leave but stopped when Natsu spoke up.
"Aren't you going to say bye to me?" He asked in mock offense as he raised his arms up as if he was expecting a hug. But instead, he only received a glare from the woman who huffed in annoyance.
"Go fuck yourself."
"Is that how you speak to your husband?!"
"I don't care, it's not like you're my real husband anyways. You're more like a mistake."
"Hey!"
"Actually," Gildarts interrupted their little quarrel making the couple look over. "Lucy, you and Natsu are actually married. You two are bond by marriage which is said in the piece of paper you two sighed and so he really is your husband. Mistake or not," he said making Natsu give Lucy a smug look who merely rolled her eyes. "which means that I need you, Lucy, to move in with Natsu."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Lucy raised her hand up in front of her. "it did not say anywhere that I have to move in with this."
"I'm right here, y'know!" Natsu cried out but got ignored by the two.
"Lucy, what makes a married couple a married couple?" He asked making the her silent and stare. She didn't respond making him continue. "A married couple are ones who do almost everything together. They eat together, they share belongings, they sleep togeyher, and most important of them all, they live together. So, I need you, Lucy, to move in with your husband," he gestured towards Natsu who still gave her that smug look. "to make it seem more believable."
"But Gildarts—"
"Lucy," he cut her off. "please."
Annoyed that she lost yet another fight with the male, Lucy clicked her tongue in disapproval and threw Natsu another dirty look before turning around to leave. "I'm leaving." She said before she was gone.
Once the two made sure she was gone, Gildarts looked over at the pink-haired actor and smirked, giving him the thumbs up.
"I am proud of you for grabbing somebody as hot as Lucy. You did well, Natsu."
Natsu could only smirk and give Gildarts yet another, fist bump.
