Hello everyone! So for those that are new to reading my work here's a little trivia on me. I love Christmas and it is my favorite holiday. In fact winter is my favorite season. Which is why, along with Magic I'll be writing some short and fluffy one-shots. Just some quick cuteness that will allow my brain a break between writing sessions for Magic. Hopefully I can get the next chapter for that out soon, but as it'll also be long I can't guarantee anything. So without further ado, let's begin my first holiday one-shot.

Lucy finished tying the bow on her final gift and sighed in relief. Winter had grown to be her favorite time of the year since joining Fairy Tail. They always celebrated this time with a large party, which wasn't much different from their other celebrations. The only key difference is that they exchange gifts. She smiled as she stared down at her small pile for her friends. It had taken her awhile to save enough extra money but she had finally collected what she needed to get everyone something special.

"Hey Luce, ready to go?"

She jumped and turned towards her window as Natsu and Happy came through. She crossed her arms and glared at her teammates.

"Natsu, how many times have I told you to stop coming through my window? Use the door like a normal person." She chided, but Natsu wasn't listening. He simply shrugged and gave her his signature grin. Natsu walked over and pulled her into his arms, giving her a quick peck on the lips.

"You know you don't mind me sneaking into your bed to keep you warm." He whispered and her cheeks flushed as she laughed as pushed him away playfully. The two of them had been officially dating for the last three years and yet he still found ways to catch her off guard and make her heart race. She turned and put the packages in their bags, handing them to Natsu so they could go. Happy landed on her shoulder and grinned,

"Maybe you should let her carry them Natsu. She could use the exercise." He laughed and Lucy grabbed him, pulling on his ear and chiding him for being rude. He chuckled and rubbed against her chest, purring to soften her towards him once more. She rolled her eyes and carried the cat out of her apartment with Natsu following behind, a wide smile on his face.

The guild was even louder than usual, but it was also filled with laughter. Lucy smiled as she sat at their booth with her team mates, plus Gajeel and Levy. She watched as Erza opened her present, an envelope holding a special surprise.

"What is this Lucy? Hmm~ a coupon?" The red-head raised a brow and Lucy winked and twirled her finger, indicating that the woman flip the card over. Erza did so and her eyes doubled in size and sparkled brighter than the stars.

"Free cake! F-For a month?" She shouted and launched herself across the table to envelope the blonde in a tight hug.

"Mhm-I-hmtakmm-you-limmh-it?" Lucy mumbled, her face pressed against the warrior's large chest. Erza laughed and released her friend, who took in a large gasp of air. The group laughed and resumed their celebration. Lucy sighed in bliss, feeling that this moment was perfect.

"Hey Lushe! There's still one more!" Happy said flying over with a small package in his paws. Natsu frowned, removing his arm from behind Lucy leaning towards his blue friend.

"Where'd you get that from Happy?"

"It's the one from me and you remember."

"Not really." He mumbled and Lucy laughed as she sat up and took the present from the cat, scratching him behind his ears. His eyes were wide with excitement and he flew above them calling.

"Open it! Open it!"

Lucy laughed at his excitement and pulled on the ribbon, she lifted the lid and her face fell in confusion. She reached in and pulled out a clam. She raised a brow and looked up at Happy.

"This was your idea huh cat."

"This part was, I found it on our last mission! What's inside is all Natsu's idea though." Happy said with a wink and Lucy frowned as she looked back down at the clam. She opened it and gasped. Resting inside was a gold ring with a smooth pearl nestled in the center, surrounded by tiny diamonds. She turned to her right to find Natsu wasn't sitting next to her anymore. He was down on one knee smiling up at her. Her hand covered her mouth and her eyes misted with tears.

"Luce. I've known for some time now that you're the only one for me. You are everything I need in a partner, both on jobs and in life. You are the kindest person I've ever met and I never want to go a day without seeing that beautiful smile. I know that I can be loud and destructive, but I hope that you will continue to stand at my side no matter what. So…Lucy Heartfillia of Fairy Tail…will you marry me?" He whispered. The tears spilled from her eyes as she removed her hand and smiled brightly at her dragon.

"Yes…of course I will you idiot!" She laughed and he took the ring, sliding it onto her finger. She jumped into his arms the minute he stood back up. He caught her and immediately kissed her deeply. The guild erupted into applause and cheers. Natsu pulled away from his soon-to-be bride, grinning like a fool. He kept one arm around her waist and threw his fist into the air,

"Now we really have something to celebrate!" The guild shouted in agreement. Natsu was wrapped in a head-lock by Grey, forcing him to release his hold on Lucy.

"Nice going flameboy, you managed to get through that without screwing up."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Natsu shouted, pulling out of the head-lock.

"You wanna go ice prick?" He added and the boys got into a fight. Lucy laughed as she was surrounded by the other females of the guild for congratulations. She caught Natsu's eye and he winked. She laughed, thinking once more that tonight was absolutely perfect!
