Lucy knew that they were a weird couple, but that didn't matter because she loved him. She still remembered the day they finally got together . . . her and Natsu. It had been about six weeks ago. It had started as a normal day at the guild.
FLASHBACK
Lucy sat at her normal place at the bar thinking back on the last five years. They had just finished the century's quest. It had been surprisingly simple, but anything was possible for the strongest team of Fairy Tail. Levy and Gajeel had started officially dating a week after the war ended. Juvia and Gray taking a year and a half to ease into their relationship. And then there was Lucy, waiting for Natsu to stop being an idiot and show some interest.
Lucy looked up from her daydreaming when Gajeel took the stage. "Oi Shrimp, come join me on the stage." The dark dragon motioned for the smaller mage.
"I am not going to be a back-up dancer for you again Gajeel!" Levy warned as she mounted the stage and the guild quieted down. Everyone but the bluenette knew what was coming next, Gajeel was surprisingly bad at keeping secrets.
"Levy," he started. "I was a horrible person the first time that we met." Everyone winced a bit at the memory. "But, over the years, I have gotten to know you, and you have made me want to be a better person. I have grown wiser and stronger just by being in your presence" He lowered himself down on one knee, making himself the same height as the petite mage. "Shrimp, Levy, will you continue to push me to be better, will you be my wife?" He finally asked.
Levy had tears streaming down her face, all she could do was nod. The guild erupted in cheers and the drinks started flowing. After a couple hours a majority of the guild was at least a little inebriated.
"Okay everyone'" Mira said, with a slightly malicious glint in her eye "time for Fairy Truth or Dare!" she exclaimed clapping her hands together. Everyone made a mad dash for the door; not wanting to get involved in the She-Devil's schemes. Mira stopped as many as she could. She ended up with Erza, Canna, Laxus . . . and her three favorite couples: Lucy and Natsu, Juvia and Gray, and Levy and Gajeel. This is going to be fun! She thought to herself, laughing evilly.
"Okay, here are the rules: normal truth or dare but if you refuse you have to take off an article of clothing." The girls blushed. Lucy didn't like this rule because she wasn't wearing very much to begin with. "Let's start! Erza first!" The red-head scanned the room. Everyone was avoiding eye contact because no one wanted to go first.
"Lucy!" EPPP why me!? "truth or dare?" Erza challenged with a sly smile on her lips. The requip mage secretly had a bet with Mira to see who could get the dense couple together first.
"Ummmm . . . truth? I guess." Lucy blushed and hoped for an easy question.
"Do you like anyone in this room?" Erza asked trying to get the celestial mage to confess.
"Well. . ." Lucy said with a smile "I like all of you" she said trying to evade the question. Everyone groaned and Juvia glared barely concealing a threat. "Fine! Yes I do like someone! There, happy?" she crossed her arms and avoided eye-contact with a certain rose-haired dragon slayer, knowing that her face was bright red. "Okay. . ." she narrowed her eyes picking the next target. "Gray, Truth or Dare?" she thought this might take the attention off of her.
"Dare!" he said, like she knew he would. Lucy smelled an easy victory.
"I dare you to kiss Juvia" she said with a wink to the water mage. The two were never very good at PDA and Juvia still considered the blonde competition, for some reason. Maybe this will get her off my back.
"WHAT… well…I…but" Gray stuttered. He went to remove an article of clothing but found that he was only wearing his boxers. With a sigh he leaned over and pecked Juvia on the lips. Juvia promptly fainted.
"Okay . . ." Gray said narrowing his eyes at Lucy. Uh oh! Maybe I shouldn't have done that! Lucy thought to herself in fear. "Levy, truth or dare?" Levy jumped. She was not sure she liked where this game was headed. Although she was a firm believer in NaLu!
"Truth" she said, with not a little fear. Gray smirked but his eyes were on Lucy.
"Do you think Natsu and Lucy should get together?" Lucy groaned. Not this again, it just wasn't going to happen . . . he was too dense to like her . . . right?
"YES! I think they would be a great couple!" the script mage said with excitement. She was just glad that the conversation had avoided her. She looked up and noticed that Lucy was glaring at her and Natsu was just confused. Levy decided to go on the defensive. "Lucy, truth or dare"
"Dare." Lucy said, sure that her best friend wouldn't make her do something ridiculous. Right?
"I dare you to kiss the person you like!" Levy said with a confident smile, she definitely knew who Lucy would kiss. Mira and Erza had stars in their eyes, while the boys looked confused. Lucy was shocked. Without saying anything she took off her shirt and threw an evil glare at Levy. At least I wore a bra today was all Lucy could think.
"Gajeel!" the stellar mage said with more than a little malice. Gajeel flushed trying not to look directly at Lucy's very large bust. "Truth or dare?" she purred to the iron dragon slayer.
"Uhhh . . . ummmm . . .dare?" Gajeel was a little afraid of Bunny Girl right now.
"Good. I dare you to receive a lap dance from Levy and then hold Levy on you lap for the rest of the game." Levy sighed, knowing that she deserved it. She sauntered over to her fiancé and tried her best at a sexy dance. When she was done Gajeel wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his lap. Not that she minded that much. Gajeel looked around and focused on one of the quiet people.
"Yo Drunkard," Cana smiled at him over a barrel of alcohol "truth or dare?" Natsu was fuming that he hadn't been chosen yet, Laxus was just happy to be left out. He was just here because Mira forced him.
"Let's go with truth because the room is spinning just a little bit." Cana answered with a slight slur.
"Gihi, who would you want to have a three some with?" He already knew the answer because they had had an awkward, for him, conversation about it earlier that day.
"Easy! Lucy and Natsu. I mean look at that rack," all the guys were trying very hard not to look "and I am positive that Natsu can get pretty hot, if you know what I mean" she winked suggestively. The two named mages looked up in astonishment, made eye contact, and then looked away in embarrassment. "Hehehehe, my turn. Lucy, truth or dare?" Why me, well the last dare left me shirtless.
"Truth" she said with defeat.
"Do you love Natsu?" SHIT! Everyone stared at her intently. There was no way she was going to admit that she loved him in front of everyone. But, she didn't have many pieces of clothing left. Without making eye contact with the sudden source of her problems, she shimmied out of her panties without taking off her skirt. There were groans from the girls, out of disappointment, and groans from the guys . . . for other reasons. Lucy looked up to glare at Mira. This is all her fault. She decided.
"Laxus, truth or dare?" everyone jumped, almost forgetting that he was there. Mira narrowed her eyes in suspicion.
"Dare, I guess, whatever." Laxus said with a shoulder shrug. Lucy smiled.
"I dare you to spend seven minutes in the closet with Mira." There was a collective gasp. This meant war. Laxus was red faced, but he grabbed Mira's hand to drag her to the closet.
"I pass my turn to Erza" were his final words before he closed the closet door behind Mira.
"Excellent." Erza drummed her fingers like some villain in a bad movie. "Natsu"
"Dare!" Natsu shouted before Erza could ask the question. Lucy almost groaned knowing where this was going. The red head's smile widened.
"I dare you to kiss Lucy for sixty seconds." Everyone, minus Lucy, smiled. Natsu froze for a second.
"What kinda dare is that, why didn't you fight me?" Natsu seemed to whine. Lucy just rolled her eyes. Of course that is the type of dare he would want to get.
"Lucy dared Gray to kiss Juvia so there is a precedent." The traitorous Levy stated.
"Okay, I guess. Not like it will kill us." Natsu complied crawling over to Lucy.
"Wait, I never agreed. . ." Lust started to protest but stopped when Natsu gently placed his hand on her cheek. Who knew Natsu could be gentle? was the last thing Lucy thought before Natsu's lips touched hers.
It was hesitant at first, but she wanted fire. So, without her brain's permission her hands pulled him closer and she deepened the kiss. Natsu gasped in surprise and gripped her hips, jumping a little when he came in contact with bare skin, because she wasn't wearing a shirt. He jumped again when her tongue ghosted over his bottom lip, asking for entrance. Natsu opened his mouth, but instead of letting Lucy take control he pushed into her mouth. About time he took control was all she thought, this was the kind of kiss she imagined . . . not that she thought about kissing Natsu a lot or anything like that.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1" The others shouted pulling Lucy back to the present. She pushed Natsu away gasping for breath, blushing like she had never before. Natsu was staring at her with his eyebrows scrunched together, thinking deeply.
"Well, I think it is time to call it a night" Cana said with a hiccup "from the noises in the closet I don't think we will be getting Laxus and Mira back any time soon and I am pretty sure that Pinky and Blondie want some alone time." Cana said with a smile. Lucy blushed even more and shrugged her shirt on. "Plus I have a date with Bacchus that I can't be late for." She pushed herself up from her seat and sauntered over to the door. Lucy was already almost through it, ready to go home.
"Bye guys." Lucy shouted over her shoulder as she ran to her apartment. She closed the front door and leaned against it. Her hand went to her lips and she smiled. That was my first kiss. She thought giddily. She stumbled into her room ready to sleep, when she held back a scream because someone was on her bed. Shit! It is just Natsu. Shit, it is NATSU! "Oh!" she exclaimed holding her chest as she slid down the wall to sit on the ground. "Why do you do that to me?" she asked.
"Hey Luce, you forgot these" he said holding up her underwear. She blushed as he threw the lingerie into the hamper. "Why did you take them off, instead of answering the question?" he asked with child-like innocence in his voice, and a slight amount of hurt.
"Umm, well I . . . why did you kiss me? You could have just taken off your vest!" she said trying to change the subject. Natsu looked at his hands sitting in his lap.
"Why would I have done that? I have been waiting for a reason to kiss you for a while, since I realized that I love you" Natsu heard her gasp and looked up to see Lucy with wide eyes. "I guess I should go" he got up to jump out the window. Lucy shot up and grabbed his hand. He looked back in surprise.
"You can't just say something like that and leave you idiot. And who says you need a reason to kiss me?" Lucy whispered the last half, barely loud enough for him to hear. She was looking at the bed with a sprinkling of pink over her cheeks. Natsu slowly left the window and wrapped his arms around his favorite person.
"I love you" was all he said before he pulled her into a passionate kiss. He wanted Lucy now, but he knew that she would want to go slower. The fire mage was extremely surprised when Lucy started to take his vest off, and his scarf. When she went to pull off his pants Natsu pulled back.
"Luce, are you sure? I have never . . . I don't know if I will be able to stop." Natsu admitted blushing slightly.
"There is only one thing I am sure of" Lucy said with lust filling her voice "and that is that I love you" she finished with certainty. Without another word they continued their embraces.
The next morning Lucy woke up with her head on Natsu's chest, his arms wrapped around her waist. When he realized that she was awake, Natsu started tracing random patterns on Lucy's bare back. She purred in contentment.
"We have one problem." Lucy said, finally breaking the happy silence. Natsu tightened his grip on Lucy's waist. "What are we going to tell the guild?" Natsu just laughed thinking about everyone's reactions.
"It won't be too bad; we could always tell everyone that Mira and Laxus hooked up in the closet." Natsu proposed with a smirk.
"Not if we want to live!" Lucy knew that Mira would kill them, bring them back to life, just to let Laxus kill them again. She sighed. "Well, I guess we should get this over with." She started to get out of bed, but Natsu pulled her hand so she had to stay.
"Luce?" he asked with a blush "Will you be my girlfriend?" he continued, looking her in the eye. She let out a breath in surprise and then smiled.
"Of course, you idiot. Now get up, we need to take a shower before we go to the guild." She said with a wink. That was all it took before Natsu sprung out of bed and carried the spirit mage into the shower.
A couple hours later, when they were finally dressed, the couple decided to face the guild. They walked hand in hand to the front doors. They stood in front of the doors knowing that their peace was about to be interrupted. Natsu leaned down and kissed Lucy. "I love you weirdo."
"I love you too, idiot." And with that they walked through the guild doors to much screaming and applause. Mira quietly handed Erza the 3,000 Jewels from the bet, but everyone was happy that NaLu was FINALLY an item!
