Nalu Week 2019 – Day 7 : Chance

" Hurry up, Lucy ! " A cheerful voice called out to a blond woman.

" Yeah, yeah... " Said blond answered tiredly.

" You're so slow. You should more sport. "

" Hey ! I do sport. I just don't go hiking on a big mountain for fun. " Lucy exclaimed in frustration.

Why would Natsu want to go hiking out of the blue like that. Lucy have no idea why and, frankly, she didn't care. All she wanted right now was a full bottle of fresh water. Sadly for her, it's her idiot boyfriend who carries the bag containing the prized bottle of liquid. As the woman was ready to call her boyfriend, the young man stopped at the end of the path. He turned towards her when she reached him. The blond gasped at the scene before her.

A beautiful meadow stood before the couple. The grass was so green and flowers of all colours were scattered across the landscape. A few trees provided shadows for those who didn't want to burn from sunburns. That's exactly where Natsu lead her. As soon as they stood under the tallest tree, Natsu took off his bag and took out a blanket he spread on the grass. It was at this moment Lucy understood what Natsu wanted to do.

" Natsu, you wanted to have a picnic with me. " Lucy gasped.

" Of course, Lucy. " Her boyfriend grinned. " Plus, we're all alone up there. "

" Thank you ! " She jumped into his arms and kissed him.

Natsu blushed slightly at the action of his girlfriend. It wasn't everydays that Lucy was initiating the kiss. After kissing and cuddling a little bit more, Natsu and Lucy set up the picnic. All their favourite foods were neatly packed inside their bags, courtesy of Mirajane obviously. Natsu was a culinary disaster, he must have asked the white-haired woman to cook for him. Lucy was greatly appreciative of this gesture. Life has been hectic lately.

The both of them had entered their fifth year of living together, three of them as a couple. Lucy has just been engaged as a full-time journalist and it was a new load of work for her. Natsu had been nothing but supportive. He always tried to make her relax. This picnic is the last kind thing he had planned for her. They peacefully ate their food while talking to each other and enjoying the weather.

" Oh ! Lucy ! Look, look ! "

" What ? Natsu... Kyaaah ! "

The pink-haired man fell onto her in his excitement. Natsu lifted himself from her with a big grin on his face. Lucy prepared herself to scold him when the words stuck in her mouth. In her boyfriend's hand stood a four-leafed clover.

" Oooh ! A four-leafed clover ! You're so lucky, Natsu. " Lucy exclaimed happily. " I never had the chance to find one. "

" Really ? That's so bad. " Natsu frowned, looking at where he found his clover. " Come on, Lucy ! We will look for another one. "

Smiling eagerly, he gripped her wrist and lead her to the spot where he found his clover.

" You search here and I search here. "

" Okay. "

Lucy started looking at the ground. Many clovers were sprouting but there were only three leafs on them. Lucy sighed. It was discouraging. Natsu seemed to have found one so easily. A twinkle caught suddenly her attention.

" Natsu ! I found something ! "

The young man smirked when his girlfriend called him. He wiped the smirk off his face and took a surprised look.

" Really ? What is it ? "

" It looks like... a ring ? Did someone lost it ? "

The blond observed the object in wonder. It was a small golden ring with a pink diamond at its center. It was beautiful. It looked like it hasn't been here for long. A large hand interrupted Lucy's train of thoughts. Natsu's hand covered hers. She looked curiously into his eyes. He gazed lovingly at her.

" Natsu ? "

" Nobody lost it, Lucy. " He smiled softly. " It put it here for you. This ring is for you. "

" You ? Me ? But... What ? When ? "

Lucy totally lost it. This ring meant only one thing. Tears welled up in her eyes. Natsu grinned at the obvious state Lucy was in. She was overwhelmed by love and happiness. She jumped into his arms for the second time that day.

" Hey, Lucy. I didn't even say anything. " Natsu chuckled, hugging his now fiancé in his arms.

" Don't care. Snif. Just... Yes, yes and yes. " She laughed in happiness.

The two of them spend the rest of the day admiring the ring on her finger for one, and admiring the person who hold his heart for the other.
