Day 2: Reunion

Life was great.

Natsu munched happily on Fire Chicken as the guild celebrated their Magic Games victory. They were the number 1 guild in Fiore again. It had been hard, and the dragon attack hadn't helped, but they'd done it.

His heart still ached when he thought of the future Lucy's death. She was always so full of light and life. Seeing her unseeing eyes had caused him to lose control. It also made him realize some things he'd been denying since Tenrou.

Facing death with his blonde partner on multiple occasions had brought forth feelings Natsu no longer wanted to suppress. At first, he'd been afraid of hurting their friendship, but Natsu knew that wouldn't be the case. Whether Luce returned his feelings or not, they'd always be best friends. Nothing could change that.

Now that everything was settled, he planned on talking to her about it back in Magnolia. The Rainbow Sakura festival was coming up again. She loved those rainbow colored trees. It was the perfect place to ask if she'd do him the honor of mating with him. He had a feeling she'd say yes.

Like everyone from the Tenrou team, Natsu had felt immense guilt over the hardships his nakama had suffered during their absence. It should never have happened. Four dragon slayers hadn't been enough to slay Achnologia. The thought terrified him, though he'd never admit it to anyone but Luce. If the First Master hadn't cast Fairy Sphere...

He tried not to think of it.

Natsu let his thoughts move away from the depressing as Lucy sat next to him. Putting his arm around her, so that she could lean against him, they watched the guild in silence. He knew it wouldn't last, he'd be drawn into a guild brawl soon enough. He was getting fired up just thinking about beating the Ice Princess.

They'd come back after 7 years of absence. They'd won the Grand Magic Games, taken back their number 1 place, and gotten back the guild hall.

Natsu couldn't think of a better reunion present.
