As Natsu woke up he expected to find himself looking straight into Wendy's eyes, but he was the only one in the bed. Not seeing the point in staying in bed he got up and started to dress. Down at breakfast he finally found her. There was an open seat next to her and he quickly claimed it and he realized that Wend had filled his plate already.

"Thank you." he said and kissed her on her forehead seemingly oblivious to the other mages around the table.

"So I see you slept well dimwit." Commented Wendy and Natsu blushed. He started at his meal as he listened to the others small talk.

"So when are we returning to the guild Erza?" asked Lucy. Gray had left the table as soon as Natsu showed up in an attempt to escape the happy couple as unknown to the others he was dealing with his own relationship problems. Unluckily for him, Juvia of course followed him screaming his name.

"I think we've stayed here quite long enough." Erza answered.

"I talked to the man in charge here and said that we would be out of here by today actually." Natsu groaned, he'd grown quite fond of the place and he had memories that were unique to this place only.

"The grand magic games are held in 4 days and so I think it would certainly be wise to leave for Crocus now." Lucy groaned and mumbled something about still being stiff. Natsu laughed at her before getting smacked by Wendy,

"Don't you laugh at her when you're in no better condition yourself dimwit." she said before kissing him. Natsu thought he saw an obvious pattern: Say something stupid, get smacked then get kissed. He was really tempted to say something stupid again, but he stopped himself.

"So when are we leaving?" asked Natsu while eating his second helping. The mountain of food was so large that even Droy would have had some problems with it.

"Dimwit! We're leaving as soon as you finish up eating!" said Gray who'd just entered and had effectively lost Juvia.

"Hey nobody calls Natsu a dimwit but me!" said Wendy before blushing a bit as she realized her mistake.

"Got yourself a pretty cute nickname there, hothead." teased Gray. Which earned him another one of Natsu's famous fireballs?

"We didn't ask for your opinion underwear guy!" everyone at the table started laughing, even Gray had to admit that Natsu got him good with that last remark.

Wendy and Natsu walked hand in hand back towards the guild free of their luggage which they'd tossed on top of Erza's carriage. She didn't seem to mind because she nodded encouragingly every time Natsu turned around and looked at her.

They didn't stop until they reached the capital late at night and met their guildmaster.

"Yo. You're here earlier than we thought!" Said the old man with little Asuka riding on his shoulders.

"Yeah though I don't think we're in any shape to battle right now." said Natsu still holding Wendy's hand which Makarov found quite weird.

"Not to worry the tournament doesn't start until midnight four days from now." they all let out a relieved sigh and promptly fell down on their butts suddenly realizing just how tired they were.

Wendy found good use of their free time already on their first day in Crocus treating her boyfriend to a fancy dinner in one of Crocus best restaurants.

"You know they have lacrima vision here you know. It's so that everyone will be able to enjoy the tournament even while eating." Wendy informed Natsu in a "matter of factly way". Natsu just nodded focusing a little less on his steak.

"You know, when I joined fairy tail Luc warned me to keep my distance from you when we were eating so that I could escape the so called splash zone. I realized quickly enough she wasn't kidding and I kept my distance until the morning when I kissed you. I don't think I've seen the splash zone ever since that day." Natsu felt sweat running down his forehead, as Wendy reached across the table and grabbed his hands.

"What do you mean ever since that day? It's been like three days." said Natsu, Wendy laughed and kissed him again and Natsu just knew he'd said something stupid. So he'd been right with his guess.

"Dimwit, it wasn't one day in the spirit realm. It was almost two months, you forgot? As a matter of fact today it's been exactly two months two months since that morning. Natsu started laughing and Wendy wondered what was so funny.

"I know all that Wendy, you didn't think that I'd miss two anniversaries right? Of course I got you something as well." He produced a box from his pocket and opened it for Wendy to show her the most beautiful bracelet she'd ever seen.

"I wondered if I should get you a necklace instead, but I guess that's not you at all now is it?" he said taking the bracelet out of the box and helping her with it. It fit her perfectly; it was just a simple bracelet made out of steel links, but along the steel links the maker had made what could only be called a fusion, a fusion of fire and air.

"It's us isn't it?" asked Wendy a single tear running down her cheek. Natsu nodded.

"I thought it would be a good gift just to make sure you never forgot Me." he said as he leaned forward and kissed her. It seemed to last forever, like many sunlit days and yet Natsu didn't want it to end. One of the good things of dating an air dragon slayer there was always more air. Wendy was having similar thoughts as her brain felt like it melted from the heat of the kiss.

"How could I ever forget you?" she tried saying but it came out as something like. "Hmm mhmmm". Natsu tilted his head to the side and smirked.

"It seems like you're just about done for the day Wendy." She nodded and she pulled out the payment for the meal in a daze. He kissed her forehead as she'd done during their first day to kick her in gear. Her dazed expression settled into happy bliss and she allowed Natsu to lead her back to their inn.

"What?" wendy hoped she'd heard wrong.

"Yeah all five of us are sleeping in the same room, it's gonna be real stuffy." said Lucy. Gray and Erza nodded with depressed expressions, clearly not one of them liked the idea either.

"But I wanted to sleep alone with Natsu!" complained Wendy and Natsu blushed.

"Pipe down won't you? Not only do I have to share room with Charle and Happy, but all of you as well." said Gray who'd been in a bad mood ever since he woke up that morning. Even Natsu throwing a pillow in his face didn't trigger the usual fight between them.

"Well you'll still get to sleep together though, or rather you'll have to do it since there are really too few beds." Wendy sighed and went to get changed into her nightgown in the bathroom.

"What are you guys looking at?" Natsu asked. As soon as he and Wendy had gotten to bed everyone's eyes were trained on them.

"You know… you're a couple sleeping in the bed, don't you find that a little bit embarrassing?" asked Lucy clearly curious about this and they all seemed to have given it quite a thought.

"he? What are you talking about, we just sleep in the same bed. A kiss and then we usually fall asleep together." Natsu didn't really get it, how dense could people be it was just sleeping right?

"That's right dimwit. Just kissing and sleeping, at least for now" She said kissed him and closed her eyes with a smile on her face in full blush from their dinner events.

"For now?" Natsu wondered as he too fell asleep smiling and thinking about how Wendy had looked after their dinner.

Sorry gotta end it there for now, gonna be poor quality if I make them too long.
