Thanks to everyone who reviewed! The last chapter got a really good response; I'm very happy about that. This is the second day of fluff, but I can't promise that there will be a lot of fluff after this (there won't). NaLu week prompt, day 2: Fairy Tale.


"But our friends are back, so let's raise a cup, 'cause I found someone to carry me home." -"We Are Young," FUN


"Stop fidgeting, you'll be fine."

Natsu attempted to straighten his tie, his hands shaking. "I can't," He ran his hand through his unruly hair, chewing his lip. "It's nerve-wracking. You've never been in this position; you wouldn't know!" The scarlet-haired woman rolled her eyes, placing a hand on her hip. "Excuse you, Natsu, but I've been a bride. That's much more stressful. Now, I'm the maid of honor, which means that it's my responsibility to make sure everything is perfect. And when I say 'everything,' I meaneverything. Including you," Erza gave the younger man a pointed look, jabbing her finger into his chest. "Now stand still; you made the tie worse." She adjusted his tie properly, making him flinch. "This is going to be the best day of both of your lives. I'm determined to make sure of that. Now, get out there and get married."

Natsu nodded, clenching and unclenching his fists. "Okay. Okay. How do I look?" Erza smiled in a motherly manner, placing a hand on his shoulder. "You look great. Now, go!" She swatted her hands as if to shoo him, watching as he scurried out of the room.

Erza chuckled good-naturedly, shaking her head. That boy—or man, she should say, since he was twenty-three now—was excited, no doubt. But he was nervous as hell. The Titania was sure he'd be just fine. His bride-to-be was twice as jumpy, after all.

"But if he messes this up," Erza thought, "I'll have his head."


Natsu stood at the end of the aisle, his hands shaking. This was it. This was the part where his life changed forever. Just a little while now…

First came Erza and Gray, the maid of honor and the best man. They were arm-in-arm, Erza carrying a small bouquet and wearing a soft blue dress, while Gray wore a simple black suit with a dark red tie. Natsu barely registered Erza smiling at her two-year-old daughter, who was waving at her, before Jellal sat the little girl down in his lap and whispered something, causing her to look down the aisle excitedly. After them came Gajeel and Levy, dressed in the same attire, and lastly, an all-too-enthusiastic Mirajane with a bored looking Laxus. Behind them, Asuka skipped down the asile, tossing flowers merrily as she went. This was it. Mere seconds left…

"Calm down."

Natsu jumped at the sound of Gray's voice. "I am perfectly calm," He hissed in reply. The ice make mage laughed. "Stop lying, you flaming moron. No one is calm on their wedding day. I certainly wasn't." Natsu glared at his friend. "Best man. Pfft. More like worst man, ice ass. You're no help."

Gray didn't retort, but smirked as Natsu turned to look back at the aisle and his jaw nearly hit the ground.

Lucy was approaching the alter, a broad smile on her face. Her dress was floor-length and strapless, with a lace design going down to her waist, leaving the long skirt plain white. Around her neck was a chain with a small pendant shaped like a flame, which he'd given to her on her eighteenth birtday. She wore her blond hair down, and he briefly recalled saying that he liked her hair down because it made it easier for him to run his fingers through it. Her makeup was natural, except for the light yet noticeable pink painted across her lips. Natsu stared, a tiny smile gracing his face. He always thought Lucy was gorgeous, whether she was all dolled up or in her pajamas. But "gorgeous" couldn't evenbegin to describe how she looked now. Now, she was absolutely breathtaking; she had everyone staring in awe. Lucy Heartfilia, soon to be Dragneel, was practically glowing.

Before Natsu knew it, Lucy was standing in front of him, smiling brighter than he'd ever seen. He took her hands in his, still taking in the sight of her. "Wow," He breathed. "Look at you. You look…I don't even have a word for it. Wow." Lucy giggled, a light blush dusting her cheeks. "Thank you. And you look very handsome. Like you might be my knight in shining armor." He grinned, placing his forehead against hers. "Well, if you're okay with your knight in shining armor being more like a dragon, then I could be, if you want."

"Hey, kid! Did I say you could kiss the bride yet? I don't think so!"

Natsu groaned, unsure whether or not he could call this a pleasant surprise. "Alright, who gave Gildarts a marriage licence?"


After the ceremony ended ("you may now kiss the—" "Oh, shut up and let me kiss my wife already, you old fart!"), the reception began. At first, it was fairly civilized, until after they cut the cake and Lucy jokingly smashed some in Natsu's face, which prompted him to yell "food fight!" after smashing a bit in her face as well, at which point everyone else started throwing cake at each other (luckily, Lucy's dress was not ruined, and it was fun until Juvia and Levy started pointing out pieces of cake in everyone's hair). Then, the speeches started, which was a complete disaster ("I never thought flame brain would actually find a girl…" "WEDDINGS ARE MAN!" "I've had way too much champagne to remember what I'm supposed to say…" "I won all the bets; everyone here owes me money. Oh, and congratulations!"). Not to mention when Lucy's celestial spirits arrived on their own to add to the chaos ("I'm a little sad that you picked Natsu over me, but congratulations you two!" "Well, look at that, you finally got a man." "I suppose you want to punish us for barging in, Princess?"), and things got really out of hand. The dancing was just fine, until some of them got a little too drunk, which resulted in Cana plowing into Gray and the two of them knocking over a speaker, both giggling like five-year-olds.

A while later, when everyone was tired and the reception had come to a close, Lucy threw the bouquet, which all of the girls except Erza, Bisca, and Lisanna dived for. With some effort, Evergreen caught it, and spent the next five minutes o the receiving end of excessive teasing from Freed and Bixlow and a smug look from Laxus, all the while standing very far away from an equally embarrassed Elfman. In the end, Evergreen was pouting, Freed was spitting out flowers (she shoved the bouquet in his face), Bixlow was keeping his distance, Laxus was laughing, and everyone seemed to be wondering how those four were friends in the first place.

Needless to say, the day in its entirety was extremely entertaining.


"So, what did you think of our guild's..um…contribution to our wedding?"

A low laugh escaped Natsu's lips. He and Lucy were lying in bed, his arm around her and her head resting on his chest. "Well," He started, twirling a strand of her hair on his finger. "I don't know about you, but I liked it. It wouldn't have been the same without them." Lucy sighed contentedly, looking up at her husband of a few hours. "Yeah…and I'm surprised you only got involved as much as you did."

Natsu looked down at her, resting his forehead against hers. "Yeah, well, wouldn't want to ruin our fairy tale wedding, right?" Lucy laughed. "Oh, I wouldn't have minded. I'm used to your unruly behavior. I wouldn't have married you if you were any different, because you woudn't be you." He smirked at her as if to say she was being a sap, and she giggled, kissing his cheek. "Besides, we got a Fairy Tail wedding instead. That's much better, don't you think?" Natsu grinned and leaned in to place a kiss on her lips. "Yup. Way better."

Their guild was wild, yes, and they made sure their wedding was equally as crazy. But that was Fairy Tail. Even a day as special as that wouldn't have been the same without their antics, they knew, and they wouldn't have had it any other way.


So what did you think? I love writing the guild being crazy; their ridiculousness has to be my favorite thing in the world. Just for fun, bonus points to whoever can guess who all of the speeches were (some of them are fairly obvious, others are not). Thanks! :D
