Other than that comment the entire guild was completely quiet.
"Are you guys serious?" Grey asked suddenly "You guys finally got together?" He paused and looked around the vast room full of his silent guild mates. "You guys aren't pulling a prank on us or something, right?"
After that question Erza walked up into Lucy's face. Lucy blushed red hot. Why the fuck is Erza so close? Lucy thought to herself. After staring into Lucy's wide frightened eyes for a while Erza pulled back and nodded.
"Congratulations. You guys make an amazing couple." She stated as a smirk slowly crawled onto her lips. She turned to the rest of the guild and then slowly turned to Mira. "Who betted on April 2096?" She asked
Mira walked around to where she was behind the bar and pulled out a worn pink leather book. On the front was written "Nalu Bets" Once Lucy saw the title she turned and glared at the guild. "50,000 Jewel goes to Cana" Mira stated happily.
Cana looked up from her beer at the bar. "Wooo" she cheered before looking down happily at her beer, picking it up, and chugging it. "I beat your asses" She laughed once her giant cup was empty. "Oh Cana you're never going to win that bet that's to late for them." She mimicked her hands flying in the air. "Guess what I won and all you other fuckers lost" Then her right hand flew out in front of her "Pay up everyone"
Lucy just had to giggle at all the grumbling faces of her guildmates.
"What's Nalu mean?" a confused Natsu asked.
"It's the couple name they gave us to keep the title shorter." Lucy whispered.
"But we weren't a couple before yesterday." He stated sounding even more confused.
Lucy laughed. "Natsu, they wanted us to be a couple, so they placed bets to see when we would become one."
Natsu just stared at her blankly. After a while of that she simply just stated "They shipped us Natsu."
"Ohhhhhhh!" He exclaimed finally getting it.
"Yeah" Lucy said nodding her head trying her very best not to laugh at her idiotic boyfriend.
*2 days later*
Lucy woke up next to her new boyfriend. She knew that they were moving quickly but it kinda felt like nothing had changed….. She decided to let him sleep in and headed for the shower.
As the steam and hot water enveloped Lucy she thought about how happy she had been the past couple of days. Sighing she turned off the water and grabbed her towel from her hook by the shower. She shivered after stepping out of the warm comforting steam. She quickly changed and headed for the kitchen.
Lucy was surprised to find that Natsu hadn't woken up and made a beeline for the kitchen.
After quickly eating her breakfast Lucy walked out into the world and headed for the guild. The sweet smells of dew from the grass and flowers drifter up to her nose as she made her way along the path.
Suddenly Lucy turned around. It was too nice of a day to waste inside her precious guild. Instead Lucy headed for the park so she could enjoyed the weather.
As soon as she reached the park began walking in the direction of the cherry blossom trees.
Lucy enjoyed this. She enjoyed the peace and quiet. She enjoyed the beautiful smell of the air. And she enjoyed all of the memories she had made here.
Finally Lucy had reached the trees and made a beeline for her special tree. Laying her head down in the nook of a large root Lucy laid on the droplet covered grass.
She smiled. This was perfect, but quickly her smile disappeared. The chirping had disappeared. Why couldn't she hear the squirlels crawling around in the flourished pink branches above her. All she could hear was the soft nestle of grass blowing in the light delicate breeze.
"BOO!"
Lucy screamed and jumped up. "LUCY KICK!"
"Owww!" A familiar voice yellped. "Why'd you do that?"
Lucy opened her frightened eyes to reveal a certain pink haired dragonslayer.
"Seriously Natsu! You scared the shit out of me!"
"It would have been perfect if you hadn't kicked me." Natsu mumbled.
"I wouldn't have kicked you if you hadn't have jumped out at me!"
Natsu thoughtfully looked up at the sky as if thinking over the argument, then just shrugged, resulting in an eyeroll from Lucy.
"Hey guess what?" Natsu asked, A grin covering his face.
"What?" She asked still a little upset at him for scaring her.
"I got you something." He said, his grin growing bigger with each word.
Mavis Lucy loved that grin. It had never failed to make her smile.
"You did?" She asked the corners of her lips tugging into a small smile
"Yeah, you wanna see it?"
"Of course!" She smiled. It was simple things like this that Lucy loved about Natsu. His speratic gestures of love and kindness.
After walking for awhile Natsu suddenly stopped causing Lucy to ram into his backside.
"He, wud ya stup?" Lucy asked her voice muffled by Natsu T-Shirt.
Natu quickly turned around and covered her eyes before she could see anything. "Dont peek." He whispered into her ear, sending chills to go down her spine.
He slowly removed his hand, making sure that she wasn't peeking as he did so, and slowly led her the rest of the way. As soon as they stopped an amazing smell reach Lucys small nose.
"Natsu," she started with surprise in her voice, "did you make food, and not eat it." To this Natsu started laughing.
"You can open your eyes now." He said. And when she did the first thing she noticed was the enormous grin spread across his lips, then she looked down.
A gasped slipped through Lucy's soft lips.
