"Natsu! C'mon, c'mon, hurry up!" Lucy said exactly, waiting at the grey door of what was going to become her new home.

Natsu chuckled as he came upstairs, a big box on his hands. "I'm here, geez Lucy, you sure are excited."

Lucy flashed him the biggest of her smiles. "Of course I am! We're moving on together! Aren't you excited?"

"Of course!" he said. He put the box on the floor and looked at her with all the love in the world. "I can't wait to live with you,"

She closed her eyes as he leaned in and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. She couldn't believe it was finally happening, after all that time of dreaming together… they were standing on front of a new adventure, as he liked to call it.

"Together?" she asked, placing the golden key into the latch.

"Sure," he said. He place his big, warm hand over hers and together they opened it.

Lucy jumped on happiness as she entered the small apartment. It was almost empty, with only an ugly couch against the white wall and a fridge on the kitchen, but she found herself already in love with it. If Natsu was there with her, she didn't need anything else.

And who was she to judge it after knowing how much he'd worked for this? For they? Studying and working part time waiting tables wasn't easy. Of course she'd helped him too, selling her art and doing small jobs, even when he told her he had everything covered up.

So sweet he was, wanting her to finish college before she worked.

"Why are you so happy?" Natsu laughed, placing the box inside. "It's small and empty and…"

Lucy silenced him by putting her hands in his jaw and kissing him deeply.

"You're here, and that's what matters to me," she said. "Now, let's go put everything inside!"

Natsu chuckled at her excitement and followed her to the streets, where there were boxes with all their packed things. Lucy carried the small ones while Natsu struggled with the heaviest.

Lucy laughed as she finished placing one over the other, watching him sit on the floor tiredly.

"This was harder than I thought," Natsu chuckled.

Lucy sat next to him on the cold floor. their backs pressed against the box that contained a small table, as she remembered.

"Don't worry," Lucy said, smiling. "This will be over soon, and then we can relax,"

"For now," Natsu pointed, letting out a small chuckle.

"For now," Lucy agreed, until she frowned and punched him in the shoulder jokingly, "Hey, since when you're such a party pooper?"

"I am not," Natsu moaned, rolling his head until it laid on her shoulder. "I am just tired."

Lucy smiled sympathetically at him, caressing his soft pink locks between her fingers.

"I know," Lucy said.

They fell into silence for a good amount of time, Lucy still caressing him softly; his hair, his face, his hand… She was still trying to get used to the fact that it was all reality and not a distant dream, like those she used to have when she was a child and her parents fought…

"Do you remember when we were sitting by the water?" Lucy asked suddenly.

They've been in a little canoe, with the night sky above them and and the calm water around, with the city lights shining in the distance. She remembered how he told her proudly how he'd eaten five pills against his motion sickness so they could be good.

"Yeah," Natsu said. "Nice date, it was,"

"You put your arm around me for the first time," Lucy recalled.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yeah,"

Natsu sat up again and smiled at her, "Ah, Lucy, you're the best thing that's ever been mine,"

Despite so many years of dating, Lucy blushed like a high school girl on her first date.

"W-What are you-"

"So," Natsu continued, suddenly gulping down in nervousness and scratching the back of his neck. "No, wait."

Lucy frowned as he stood up. He extended his hand at her so she could take it, and so she did. He made her stand up so he could knee again on front of her.

Lucy's breath got caught on her throat as he awkwardly pulled out a small, pink box from his pocket.

"Ah, Lucy, you know I'm not good with words, or anything in fact, but you still took your time to love me, and you're so kind you made me fall in love with you, so…. will you marry me?"

Lucy covered her mouth with her hands as her eyes teared up.

"Well… I assure you we'll never make your parents mistakes, or mine for that matter, because that would suck and I want to be with you forever because you're a weirdo and damn, I'm so in love with you."

Lucy chuckled at his rambles, because he always did that when he was nervous as hell. But his words touched her heart and made the tears start to fall because oh, he always did that. Touch her heart and warm it in ways nobody else could.

She fell to the floor on her knees too and hugged him, effectively tackling him down so she laid over him. As he looked at her with wide eyes, she peppered his face in small kisses.

"I take that as a yes?" Natsu chuckled.

Out of words, Lucy nodded and buried her face in the crook of his neck. He drew circles in her back to help her.

"Of course," Lucy said, her voice croaky.

"Why are you crying?" Natsu chuckled lightly.

"You're the best thing that's ever been mine too," Lucy said.

"Now do you believe love can last?" Natsu asked.

She remembered how on one of their first deep talks in the roof of his house, how she told him the story of her parents, how they fought the whole day and how careless her father was towards his family. The way she used to cry in the kitchen as they yelled at each other, until she had enough and ran away, meeting him.

Back then, she believe love never lasted.

She nodded.

Natsu lifted her from the ground in bridal style. He sat down on the uncomfortable couch of their new little apartment, placing her over his lap.

"Can you believe it?" he said.

"Yeah, I can see it now." Lucy said.

"We're on our own now," Natsu said, sighing contently.

"But got bills to pay," Lucy said, a smile slowly appearing again on her lips.

"We got nothing figured out," Natsu smiled as well. "But I think we can make this work out. I promise you,"

"Yeah," Lucy said, intertwining their fingers together and playing with them. "It's always more fun when we're together, anyways."

"Yup," Natsu grinned. "I'm all fired up now!"

"You have to put the ring on my finger yet!" Lucy reminded him, laughing.

"Oh, right." he said. He took it out from the pink box, a little golden ring with a small diamond on it.

Lucy smiled like crazy at the sight of it on her hand. "How did you pay for this?"

Natsu smiled sheepishly and scratched his neck again, "I've been saving some money for years, maybe. Hope you don't mind waiting a little more for a proper wedding,"

"I don't mind a bit as long as you're here," Lucy said, kissing his cheek. "Why is the box pink, anyways? I thought they were supposed to be red or black."

Natsu shrugged. "Black is boring. And you don't like red that much. Pink is your favorite color, so why not?"

Lucy grinned even wider at his reasoning and kissed his little, upturned nose. She loved his nose.

She loved everything about him.
