Nalu Prompt: Day 1: Gifts 2014
It was another normal night in the Fairy Tail guild. Everyone was being rowdy and loud as usual. Cana was getting drunk and asking anyone who would listen (and even those who were trying not to) into drinking contests. Lucy shook her head and stifled a laugh. She hadn't been an active member of this guild for long, about a year now, and yet it felt like home.
"Gray-sama! Why are you ignoring Juvia" Juvia declared to an unlistening and half-drunk Grey.
"CANA STOP DRAGGING EVERYONE INTO YOU'RE DRINKING CONTETS! HALF OF THE GUILD IS INTOXICATED NOW" Erza shouted at the tipsy mage.
"Aww don't ruin the fun iron girl" Cana said "Lighten up a little and live"
"What did you just call me?! IRON GIRL" Erza ranted as Cana shrugged and laughed harder at Ezra's anger. It looked like Cana might end up leaving the guild in pieces. Lucy let herself laugh and looked around the guild another time. She loved it here. The atmosphere. The people. Everyone was friendly (most of the time) and she had gained so many friends. And to think, it wouldn't have happened if she hadn't run into Natsu. Natsu, even if he was an idot sometimes, out everything he had done for her, saving her butt when she got into bad situations, giving Lucy her first real friend (besides spirits and the staff of her father's house), the best thing he had given her was a place she could call home, Fairy Tail.
Drowning in these nogalistic thoughts she hardly noticed when a box dropped in her lap. Looking up Lucy saw Natsu walking away from her. Raising an eyebrow she looked at the box and wondered what could be in it. The box just a small simple blue colored box. Opening it slowly not sure what to expect. Natsu could be unpredictable at times, like during Christmas he had given her an IOU for one mission she got to pick. It had earned him a hit on the head and her seriously wondering about his thought process for a week. But she was surprised to see a note in the box.
Lucy, I have a present for you to celebrate your one year anniversary (that we aren't in a comma). Meet me outside the guild. –Natsu
Lucy was confused but was wondering what the heck Natsu had up his sleeve and why was he going to give it to her outside. But her curiosity over turned her confusion. Getting up she walked outside to the quiet night. She could still hear some of the noise leaking out into the deserted streets. She looked around and noticed Natsu leaning up against the wall, obviously trying to look nonchalant.
He noticed her and waved her over. Lucy noticed as she got closer she could make out what looked like red on his cheeks.
"I didn't realize it was one year since I joined the guild" Lucy told him.
"Well not technically but it's around a year that you've been ya know active" Natsu replied.
"So you have something to give me" Lucy asked him.
Nodding, he said "Yeah, I hope you don't freak out or anything"
"Why would a freak out" Lucy asked starting to wonder what he was going to give her.
"No reason, just close your eyes" Natsu said, obviously flustered.
"Yeah, okay" Lucy said, closing her eyes. Before she could really think anything else she felt someone lips against her own. Her eyes flew open to see Natsu obviously kissing her. Her brain began to panic.
"Oh god, oh god, oh god, he's kissing me, Natsu's kissing me, NATSU. What should I do, oh god, I don't know what to do" Her brain screamed. But then another voice said "Just be quiet and enjoy it for gods sake". Lucy decided to listen to the second voice.
