Hey there :) so I'm here sitting in my grandparents' house waiting for some really shitty news so I thought that maybe writing a new chapter would make me forget about everything bad in general so here you go guys ^^
In the past years he has known Lucy in, Natsu has always heard her say that one's wedding day is a day to always remember and never forget-etched forever in the deepest parts of the mind.
Later on, farther in the future, the fire mage would realize with a smile that her words were and always would be true.
It has been a very hectic day, full of movements and action. Girls were running all over the guild hall trying to organize things over and put everything in place (notably Erza, Lucy and Mirajane). Although they were closely followed by Wendy and Lisanna because they wanted to contribute on preparing such a happy and joyful day!
In the span of a week they transformed the boring hall of Fairy Tail's guild into a supreme and magnificent ballroom that was ready to greet a wedding ceremony. Everyone pitched in some way or another.
It was not every day that Fairy Tail had a wedding ceremony welcoming them so when such rare occasions occurred the whole guild would show their enthusiasm by helping with the preparations (even Cana who would be usually found dead drunk by this hour of the day was engaging herself in making sure that the food preparation was happening without any problems!)
Tables were placed in a way so that there could be some space for couples to dance latter during the night. They were enveloped by white pieces of cloths that were adorned by fine and small pieces of fake blue jewelry and plenty of glitter. Medium sized vases were placed in the center of each decorated table. Filled with various white and blue flowers, Lucy and Mirajane thought it would be a great idea to pour a small quantity of silver glitter inside the water of the flowers so that it could match the theme they chose for this special day.
They had all agreed after a lot of hesitation and reluctance to stick with winter and snow as a theme instead of fire. Not to mention that they had not regretted their choice after they saw the flash of affection that took place in their pink headed friend's eyes. He seemed to be satisfied with their decision and simply grinned when Lucy told him about her plans as he told her words that made her so happy.
"When I trusted you with the organization of the wedding and everything it wasn't so you take it upon yourself to come make sure that everything happening satisfies me. It was because I wanted you to do it and besides, I trust your judgments in these things way more than my own opinion! To me, as long as you don't force me in a dress I'm cool with anything you do. Like this I'll always remember it as something even more special since it was done by my closest friends for my happy future! Doesn't it sound more special like that?"
The blond celestial mage remembers hugging him tightly after he uttered that touching confession (in her opinion) and a warm smile played on her lips as she happily bounced towards the room that kept her best of friends.
Natsu was sitting inside a room that was on the second floor of the guild building. He was facing a mirror as he adjusted his unruly tie when he heard a knock on the wooden door.
"Natsu~ I'm coming in!"
"Sure thing Luce!" he yelled back.
He saw the door open in the reflection of the mirror to reveal a gorgeous blond and he grinned when he saw the smile that was stretching from ear to ear on her features and the happy sparkles on her eyes. He let go of his tie and turned around.
"Hey! Wassup Luce?" His voice was full of giddiness and the smile he had was so bright it would put the sunshine to shame!
"I can't seem to settle down! And look at me! I'm just the bride's maid! I can't imagine what you're feeling right now!" She stepped into the room after closing the door behind her and walked towards Natsu to fix his crooked tie.
"Haha! I thought it would be obvious by now that I'm too happy and excited by how bouncy and hyperactive I am!"
"It's a given! It's your wedding day! I can't express how happy I am for you!" Lucy let go of his, now, fixed tie and took the liberty to sit on a chair in front of the door, "Who would've thought that such a day would occur so soon! I always thought that I'd tie the knot before you!"
"Well aren't we sad that I'm the lucky person who got to go first onto that path," replied Natsu as he playfully smirked at her.
"Technically speaking Juvia and Lyon were the lucky winners and got first place on this amusing race," she leaned forward as she smirked back with the same hint of amusement as the dragon-slayer, "So that leaves you in second place."
"Ahun, yeah, ok! But because Lyon's not a part of Fairy Tail it doesn't count so Gray and I are still number one," he retorted nonchalantly yet haughtily.
Both mages stared at each other before bursting out in loud laughter as they leaned forward and slapped their hands together, smiling wildly.
The day went by so fast, they had decided to have the guild members party all day and have the heart of the party come in and show themselves when night time came. Many protested and found it weird but a glare from Erza and an overly sweet smile from Mirajane made them shut up and never question their purpose anymore.
The altar made specially so that the priest would stand on it was placed in the backyard of the guild where a sliver of the moon was hanging clear and brilliant in the nearing dusk above the various trees and gorgeous flowers planted around the huge pond that was reflecting every detail of the sky, thus creating an extremely romantic setting for the engaged couple to vow their eternal love in.
Different dots of light were connected here and there by Lucy to add to the setting and she made sure there was enough two create to lines of light so that a path would be made for the husbands to walk through.
Under the demand of a scary scarlet headed woman, the busty blond mage told her friends to not come out before midnight. When Gray looked at her quizzically and demanded an explanation she replied with a sigh that she was told to do that so it could hold some sort of resemblance to Cinderella's story (whoever that might be…) and when Natsu stared at her confused she simply said Erza and they were satisfied with her response.
Midnight struck and bells rang as the whole of Magnolia attended this wedding (seeing that the couple in question was very popular in Fiore). When the sounds of the bells quieted down, the back doors of the guild opened and from them Gray came out with all his glory. He was wearing a black suit and tie with a royal blue undershirt. He walked through the path Lucy created and stopped when he reached the altar where the priest already stood.
He held his hands in front of him and stared around him at the guests. A smile crept itself on his lips when he spotted his friends and family as they smiled back when they made eye-contact. At the sound of musical instruments, the ice mage straightened his back and fondly stared at the door he came out of.
Lucy stepped out accompanied by Wendy (while the exceeds flew above them) and reenacted the same steps as the raven head had previously done while throwing (with the aid of the sky dragon-slayer and flying cats) some flower petals on the path behind her. When the girls reached the aisle, they stepped aside indicating that the so-called bride can come out as well.
Gray saw his soon-to-be husband come out of his hiding place with a tiny blush and wide smile on his face. He was so enthralled and happy he was unable to control his excitement. He cared less about his image and started bouncing on his heels while grinning like an idiot as he saw the fire mage head his way.
Natsu was being handed to the other party by the eldest dragon slayer-Laxus Dreyar- who felt abnormally joyous about being chosen but he would never admit such a thing. Right now, he and Natsu were busy not staring at any guest from how embarrassed they felt to hold hands. They were both holding a light blush on their cheeks as they tried to ignore their embarrassment while they crossed the path towards the awaiting ice mage.
As soon as the ice devil-slayer saw Natsu being brought to him he had to restrain himself from widening the smile on his lips, but it was to no avail! His lips formed a 1000 watts grin and his eyes were burning him for no reason. It was when the fire dragon-slayer reached him and held his thumbs next to the rim of his deep blue eyes to wipe something off that he realized that he was crying.
Tears kept overflowing non-stop from the burst of emotions he was feeling. He gave up on making them stop a long time ago even thought he was feeling quite embarrassed and conscious about his surroundings. Crying in public was a hard thing for him to do but right now he did not care about such small details. He stared at the fond and bright olive eyes that were watching him amusedly. He could see the mix of emotions that were swirling inside as he took a deep breath to calm down even if for a little bit just so the priest could go on with the most important part: the vows!
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sign of God, and in the face of this company, to join together this man and this wo-ahem! Sorry!-man in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honourable among all men, and therefore is not, by any, to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together," the priest took a deep breath and continued, "Let them speak now or forever hold their peace."
Fortunately, no one uttered a single word to disagree besides, even if they did want to go against the whole ceremony a certain white haired and red haired demons would have made sure to shut these people forever…
Relieved beyond belief, the priest continued with the following words, "Now then, do you, Gray Fullbuster, take Natsu Dragneel to be your husband in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, through good times and bad, do you promise to love and cherish him, console and support him, forever and ever, until death do you apart?"
Gray spared a glance to the priest then redirected his gaze towards the pink headed boy in front of him. When he looked at the emerald green orbs that were shining under the, now, full apparent moon he felt so overwhelmed. It was like a chain of memories was unleashed in his brain. He felt so full of love by just being next to the fire mage and he did not mind. He would never change what he was feeling right now for anything in the world. With such strong beliefs and conviction he uttered the two words that will change his life forever.
"I do!" thus causing Natsu to hold back some tears to fall.
A smile made its way on the priest's lips as he faced the pink headed teen, "And now I ask you the same, do you, Natsu Dragneel, take Gray Fullbuster to be your husband in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, through good times and bad, do you promise to love and cherish him, console and support him, forever and ever, until death do you apart?"
Natsu did not hesitate at all when he repeated the same words as the man standing in front of him. Nothing could describe how elated he was feeling at the moment. He did not think that there was possibly anything in the world that made him feel happier than right now. He gave his signature grin and allowed his tears to fall loose.
"Yes…I do!" he said the first part almost in a whisper from all the emotions that was invading him.
The priest closed the book in his hand with a thump and ended the vows with a final, "You may now kiss the bri-ah! My bad!- the husband!"
Gray did not need to be told twice. He nearly jumped when he went to give a full of energy kiss as he held on to his husband really tightly while the tears that were falling from his eyes were not under control anymore. They became unstoppable when Natsu hugged back with twice as much force and closed his eyes to retaliate the kiss when tears of his own started flowing from the rim of his eyes to his chin. All that while ignoring the cat-calls and cheers they were given by their family and friends. Especially Erza, Mirajane and Lucy who were taking picture like the fangirls they are.
When they reluctantly separated from their kiss they still kept the close distance as Gray whispered while sobbing heavily a tiny but honest thank you. Causing Natsu to rest his head on the other's shoulder and squeeze his arms around the raven head's shoulders as he grinned brightly.
So? Your thoughts on this? Bad? Good? So-so?
