"Wake up, Lucy!" Natsu pleaded, sitting next to his girlfriend on the floor. He'd been in the library when he'd smelt the blood. Her blood. For some reason, however, he couldn't leave the library not matter how much he tried. It reminded him of when Laxus had attacked Fairy Tail and he hadn't been able to leave the Guild Hall. A while later, he was able to leave the dusty books behind and he stormed into the main guild hall, where he found Lucy on the floor surrounded by the rest of the guild.
"Move!" Wendy yelled, shoving everyone out of the way. She grabbed Lucy's bleeding arm and began to chant. The bleeding stopped and she wrapped a bandage around the wound.
"I have some parfum!" a deep voice boomed and everyone turned to the entrance. Erza, trembling, slowly looked up.
"OH NO!" she cried out, shuddering at the sight before her.
"Go, Sensei!" the Trimen cheered as Ichiya sashayed over to Lucy. He opened a bottle of parfum and held it under her nose. Her eyelid's began to flutter open, much to the relief of the guild.
"Lucy!" Natsu beamed, picking the girl up in his arms. He then proceeded to walk out of the guild.
"N-Natsu!" the blonde yelled," Where are we going?"
"Home," he replied," We need to talk."
…
"Okay, first things first, what happened to you?" Natsu asked as they sat on Lucy's bed.
"Well, um," Lucy mumbled," I formed a contract with Draco."
"Draco… wait, do you mean that dragon spirit!?" Natsu exclaimed, his face turning dark.
"Well, yeah," Lucy grumbled, as she absentmindedly played with a lock of her hair," Is there something wrong with that?"
"Not at all" Natsu babbled, seeing the irritated look on Lucy's face," I was just curious!"
"Don't worry I was fine!" Lucy insisted, touching the bandage on her arm. Natsu's eyes were immediately drawn to this action.
"Why'd you cut your arm, Luce?" Natsu softly whispered," Do you do this with all your spirits?"
"Not at all!" Lucy said, trying to console her boyfriend's worried mind," Draco is an old spirit, however, and I read in Lady Cosmel's diary that she made a blood contract with him when he was created. I felt that performing a blood contract would be the most effective way of making him my spirit."
Natsu bent down and kissed her bandaged arm softly. He smiled.
"As long as your safe," he purred, pulling her into his embrace. They sat like this for a while, each secretly wishing that this moment could last forever.
However, all good things must come to an end. At least, that's what Lucy thought when Natsu pulled away.
"I guess you want to know what I found out?" Natsu said.
"Yes," Lucy agreed, her voice filling with excitement.
"Okay," Natsu smiled," According to the scroll, we need to be purified before the ceremony."
"What?" Lucy asked, slightly confused.
"Basically, we bathe in oils and stuff and let go of any worries or doubts," Natsu explained.
"Right," Lucy said.
"Then we get dressed in ceremonial clothes, which," Natsu said as Lucy opened her mouth," will be a secret until the day."
"Fine," Lucy grumbled and Natsu chuckled at her annoyance.
"While we're getting ready, two of our attendents will set up a stone circle which our friends will sit around. Oh, I almost forgot! You get to pick two attendents, like me."
"Really!? Can I pick anyone?" Lucy asked. Natsu suddenly seemed very interested in Lucy's bedspread.
"Well, you need at least one dragonslayer for an attendent, so that's Wendy and I also thought Levy could be the other one cause she helped me find all this information and Gajeel's one of my attendents," Natsu babbed," Is that okay, Luce?"
"On one condition," Lucy laughed.
"Anything!" Natsu said.
"Romeo has to be the other attendent. You know he likes Wendy. It would be really cute and he looks up to you as his role model," Lucy explained. Natsu nodded.
"Yeah, that makes sense!"
"Great, now what happens next?"
"We go into the circle with our attendents," Natsu explained,"Now this is gonna be awkward but you're going to have to ask Levy if she's a … virgin."
"What!? WHY?!" Lucy panicked.
"The next part is the Maiden's dance. Only a maiden can perform the dance. It's fine if she can't because I know Wendy is."
"HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW THAT?!" Lucy fumed. Natsu realized his mistake.
"It's a dragon thing! I swear!" Natsu pleaded. Lucy calmed (slightly).
"What will Levy do if she isn't?"
"She can help with the music," Natsu explained," That's what Romeo and Gajeel will be doing."
"Do we exchange vows?" Lucy asked.
"Something like that," Natsu grinned," It's a sacred prayer which is a promise we must keep to each other."
"Then, we show of our magic strengths. We then should release our inner dragon souls," Natsu said," That's when you'd use your key."
"Right," Lucy said, looking at her newest key.
"Both the souls and us will dance to signify the union. Then I'll mark your neck and you'll mark mine. Then we feast!"
"That sounds wonderful," Lucy sighed.
"It's only wonderful because of you," Natsu whispered," I can't imagine anyone else being my mate."
"Don't forget that there will also be wedding, Mister Dragneel," Lucy giggled. Natsu smiled and pulled out a small box. As he bent down on one knee, Lucy's mind and heart were going into overdrive. Was he-
"We didn't really do this properly," he smiled, opening the box. Inside was a gold ring with a ruby.
"Natsu." Lucy whispered, tears forming in her eyes.
"I'm sorry it's not a diamond," Natsu said.
"I don't care!" Lucy cried out, kissing her boyfriend," Yes!"
"Hey, let me ask the question!"
"Fine," Lucy said, wiping away her tears as she laughed.
"Will you, Miss Lucy Heartfilia, make the happiest man in the world and marry me?" Natsu smiled.
"And once again, yes!" Lucy laughed, kissing her boyfriend as he slipped the ring onto her finger.
"I love you, Lucy," Natsu chuckled.
"I love you too, Natsu," Lucy smiled," I love you too."
