Author's note: Hey guys! Welcome to the very last day of the NaWen Christmas Special. I know it was supposed to be 12 days XD, but since me and DeltaWing13 are so nice we'll write a 13th day each. Basically there's a One-Shot here and there will also be one on DeltaWing13's account, so be sure to check it out! Also thank you all so much for 1.2k, I never expected you all to enjoy these cheesy-cliché stories. I forgot to say thank you since I hit 1k near Day 9 or 10, so it's a late thank you, but still I'm really happy that you all like these stories. Be sure to send some love to DeltaWing13 too! ALSO THIS IS A MODERN STORY, MEANING IT DOESN'T TAKE PLACE IN THE FAIRY TAIL WORLD.
To Natsuharemfan: I'm so sorry T^T I don't do lemons, I choose not to do them cause it's pretty gross in my opinion, and I'm way too young to be writing about that stuff *shudders*, cause I'm only 13. But if it helps, I hope this One-Shot is better than a lemon, but enjoy!
A New Year's Kiss
It was a cold snowy day in New York, it was also pretty busy outside since it was New Year's Eve. Of course everyone was probably shopping since there are a bunch of sales, or they're setting up parties and getting ready for midnight, they could possibly be watching the football game since it's Sunday, lots of stuff to be honest, depending on how you would spend your New Year's Eve.
But on this cold wintery day are salmon-haired salamander was busy getting reservations at The Martinique Café, he thought it'd be nice to take her there for dinner since it was fancy and delicious, and it was on 33th street, so it wasn't that far away from Time Square, so he could take her to see a play in Broadway. And eventually take her to see the countdown around 11:50.
"Hello there! How can I help you?" The waiter asked. "I'd like to make reservations for 2 tonight." Natsu said. "Well you're lucky cause we just happen to have one last table left upstairs for 2. What's your name?" The waiter said as he checked his list. "Oh that's perfect and the name is Natsu Dragneel! And can I have it reserved for 8:00pm?" Natsu asked once again. "Sure. Who's the lucky girl?" He asked with a smirk. Natsu started to blush at his comment and tried to speak, but was too embarrassed. "It's fine, you don't have to tell me. But I wish you the best of luck and I'll see you and your date later tonight I guess." He said. "I guess so too! See ya later…" Natsu started. "Alex." He says. "Ok! Then I'll see ya later tonight Alex!" Natsu called out. "Same to you Natsu!" He says back.
While Natsu was getting reservations his friends Gray and Erza were helping him out with getting 'his date'. His plan was for Gray and Erza to hang out with her until it was time for Gray to leave so Erza could take her shopping for a pretty dress for the date. But she wasn't aware of the situation, she just thought she was hanging out with Gray and Erza for the day, but boy was she wrong!
"Erza-san, Gray-san, where are we going?" The petit girl asks. "Well Gray always seems to 'lose his clothes' so we're buying him some new clothes. AND HOPEFULLY HE CAN KEEP THEM ON!" Erza said as she turned towards 'the stripper'. "IT'S NOT MY FAULT! IT'S A HABIT!" Gray defended. "Gray-san it's so cold out and you still take your clothes off?" Wendy questioned. "Yeah well I trained and lived in the cold so it doesn't really bother me." Gray explained. "Oh ok." She agreed. "But still at least keep them on in front of Wendy." Erza said. "Fine." Gray pouted while Erza smiled in victory and Wendy just sweat-dropped and they kept walking.
"Well Erza, why don't you take Wendy to Justice while I shop over there at Hot Topic." Gray said with a wink which Wendy didn't notice. "Yeah! What do you say Wendy?" Erza asked. "Sounds like fun! Let's go!" Wendy said excitedly. "Gray-t! See you guys later!" Said Gray. "Bye!" Gray/Gray-san!" The girls said before going to the next store which happened to be Justice.
"Well Wendy pick any dress you'd like." Erza said with a closed-eye smile. "R-Really?" Wendy asked. "Of course! Don't you have something special to do tonight, or have a special someone to be with?" Erza said with a smirk which made Wendy blush. "I wish…But I don't think that 'special someone' has noticed me at all." Wendy said with a saddened expression. "Aw, don't get upset Wendy! We have a surprise for you today!" Erza said. "A surprise? What is it?" Wendy asked. "It's a surprise sweetie, can't tell ya now can we?" Erza said. "Right!" Wendy realized. "Now come on pick out a dress before they close. Remember it's New Year's Eve and most of the shopkeepers and employees want to go to town square, or hang out with their significant other. So they'll close early for sure, so let's not keep them waiting." Erza explained to the bluenette. "Hai!" Wendy agreed.
"How about this one?" Wendy asked while modeling a pretty pink dress with lots of ruffles and sparkles. "Well...It isn't really your color…hm? How about this one?" Erza said while holding up a pretty silver-sparkly dress that fades into a glittery-dark-blue, and comes just above the knees, has a long sleeves and comes with a chain belt, along with a long necklace with a dark-blue feather attached to it. "It's…So beautiful!" Wendy says in a cheerful and happy tone.
"Thank goodness she likes it! It's the one Natsu showed me. Somehow he has good taste and knows just what she would like. Never have I ever thought he'd be a fashion expert." Erza thought.
"Erza-san, I don't know about this, what if my chest doesn't look right?" Wendy said as she came out in her pretty dress. "Wendy look so cute! Don't even worry about your chest it looks great! It'll be perfect for tonight!" Erza said. "Tonight?" Wendy questioned. "F-For the surprise of course!" Erza stuttered. "Oh I almost forgot!" Wendy said. "So is the one you want?" Erza double-checked. "Yeah!" Wendy replied. "Ok then let me pay for it." Erza said while walking out of the fitting rooms. "Y-You don't have to, I can pa- Nope! I'm paying!" Erza interrupted. "Arigatou Erza-san!" Wendy said with a warm smile. "Anything for a cutie like you!" Erza said as she paid for the dress.
"Now to get you ready!" Erza said.
Meanwhile with Gray he was in Hot Topic when he spotted his rival and best friend.
"Yo stripper! How's it going?" Natsu asked. "Stop with the stupid names flame-brain!" Gray said. "Speak for yourself ice princess." Natsu said. "Why you!" Gray started but was stopped by Natsu. "Now's not the time for this rivalry crap, it's 7:00pm and I just saw Wendy and Erza exit Justice." Natsu explained. "Right. Did you get the reservations?" Gray asked. "Yeah, there was one last one, and it was upstairs!" Natsu said excitedly. "Upstairs!? That's like the best spot from what I've heard!" Gray said. "Yeah! Any way how about you and Juvia? Along with Erza and Jellal?" Natsu asked. "The four of us will meet you at Broadway. We're going on a double-date to some sushi place. Totally forgot the name though." Gray said. "Oh, well I guess I'll meet you at Broadway, it's getting late and I gotta be there for my date, see ya later pervy-popsicle!" Natsu called. "See ya later coal-head!" Gray said while looking in the anime section.
When Natsu exited the store he waited for a taxi while he got a text from Erza. He popped a motion sickness pill in his mouth and waited for the cab while replying to Erza.
Erza: Hey Natsu, Wendy and I just finished up at Justice, should I bring her over?
Natsu: Hey Erza, did she like the dress? And did you put it on my credit card?
Erza: She loved it! And no, I ended up paying for it.
Natsu: I'll just pay you back.
Erza: You don't have to.
Natsu: I insist. Any way I'm going to be in the café in an hour, so take her to Starbucks, or something.
Erza: Well I need to get Juvia so we can get ready for our double date. So I'll take her with me so the 3 of us can get ready, then I'll drop her off.
Natsu: Ok that works, I guess I'll see you at Broadway then.
Erza: I would come inside to say hi, but I wouldn't want to ruin the mood~
Natsu: You're smirking, aren't you?
Erza: Hehe!
They finished texting and Natsu arrived at his apartment. Hey emidiatly rushed into the shower after he looked at the time on his phone and started the shower and got in. He kept on twisting the handle to make it warmer since he normally took the hottest showers. A few minutes later after getting out and drying his hair he went into his bedroom and got dressed. He threw on a black tux with a baby-pink button up shirt under it. Instead of buttoning up his tux he left it the way it was to show his baby-pink shirt. After he got ready and put his shoes on he grabbed his wallet and caught another taxi to 33rd street where The Martinique Café is, and of course he didn't forget his motion sickness pills.
While Natsu was on his way to the café Erza, Juvia and Wendy were getting ready at Erza's apartment.
"Erza-san! Juvia is ready, how about you Wendy-san?" Juvia asked. "I just need to put my hair up. By the way where are we going?" Wendy asked. "We're taking you to the surprise which is on 33rd street." Erza said. "33rd? What's there?" Wendy asked. "The Mart-." Juvia said. "SHUSH!" Erza said while covering her mouth. "Gomen!" Juvia whisper-yelled. "The Martinique Café?" Wendy questioned. "Yeah, w-we're taking you there to meet a friend." Erza quickly made up a believable lie. "Oh. Who is it if you don't mind me asking?" Wendy asked. "The surprise!" Juvia said. "Ok!" Wendy chirped. "Alright let me call Jellal and Gray so they can drive us there." Erza said while dialing Jellal's number.
Jellal: Hi Erza!
Erza: Hi Jellal, can you and Gray pick us up?
Jellal: Yeah, we're actually on our way, is the plan working?
Erza: Yep! It's going perfectly, hold on I got a text!
Jellal: From who?
Erza: It's the surprise, they arrived at the café.
Jellal: Ok! I'll pick you up and we'll drop her off so we can have our date~
Erza: Ok Jellal~ See you in a few~
Jellal: Ok Erza, love you~
Erza: Love you too!
They then hung up and the girls walked out of Erza's apartment, when a dark-blue car pulled up.
"You getting in or what?" Gray asked. "Yeah we're coming!" They said.
The ride was pretty quiet other than a few whispers coming from everyone except the petite bluenette. While they were driving to the café Natsu arrived there in his own car since all the taxis seemed to be occupied, I mean it's New Year's Eve so of course they're busy. He ended up calling Erza right after he went to ask Alex about his reservations with Wendy.
Natsu: Hey Erza! I'm here!
Erza: Ok, we're in the car now so we'll be there in about 5-10 minutes, ok?
Natsu: Alright, is there traffic?
Erza: No! Of course not! Why would there be traffic on New Year's Eve when everyone wants to go to Time Square?
Natsu: Jeez! You don't need to be sarcastic!
Erza: WELL YOU SOUNDED LIKE AN IDIOT WHEN YOU ASKED!
Natsu: So cold…Talk to you later.
He then hung up and waited for Wendy's arrival.
"Ok Wendy we're here!" Erza said. "Aren't you all coming in?" Wendy asked. "Yeah! Of course!" Gray said sarcastically.
They all exited the car while Wendy walked ahead of them. Erza then pulled her phone out and sent a text to Natsu.
Erza: She's here! Go downstairs!
Natsu: Got it!
Wendy then entered the restaurant and realized that all her friends had left, then she realized that a familiar Salamander was right in front of her with a bouquet.
"Hi Wendy! Here, these are for you!" He said while handing a bouquet of white roses and dark-blue orchids. "T-Thank you Natsu-san…Are you the surprise?" Wendy asked. "Yep!" He said while engulfing her in a cozy hug.
"You look really pretty in that dress by the way." He said. "T-Thank you! Erza-san picked it out. "No, it wasn't her." He said. "W-Was it y-you?" She asked with a blush. "Mhm. I'm glad you liked it." He said. "You have really good taste Natsu-san, so thank you." She said with a warm smile that could just melt your heart. "Well we have reservations upstairs, so let's go!" He said while grabbing her hand which made her blush even more which could rival the color of Erza's hair.
The 2 dragon slayers ended up having a great first date, they talked, laughed and of course ate. Natsu even played the piano for Wendy. Once they finished they headed back into Natsu's car and drove to the show in Broadway.
"So what show are we going to see?" Wendy asked. "Beauty and the beast." Natsu answered. "That's sounds so amazing!" Wendy said in a cheerful tone. "Erza, Jellal, Juvia and 'the stripper' are meeting us there too. After the show we're going to Time Square for the countdown." Natsu explained. "Oh ok." Wendy agreed.
They all met up and watched the show, Wendy was slowly falling asleep. Natsu could tell since she was leaning on his arm, at some point he picked her up and put her on his lap so that she could fall asleep.
"Wake up cutie, the play ended. So put your coat on and let's get going for the count down!" Natsu whisper-yelled. Wendy didn't wake up, so Natsu resorted to another strategy. He started tickling Wendy until she woke up giggling.
"N-Natsu-san s-stop!" She giggled. "Well you didn't wait up sweetie, so I had to do something!" He said with a chuckle. "Well, I'm up now, so let's get going." She said. After Natsu's strategy to waking Wendy up they made their way to Time Square.
The countdown appeared on the screen and everyone except for Natsu started counting.
"Why aren't you counting Natsu-san?" Wendy asked. "I need to say something really important before 2018. Which is that I loved you ever since I laid my eyes on. I couldn't bring myself to tell you because I was too afraid of rejection, but somehow I found the courage to this. You're so cute and kind that I just wished you were mine. I hate the way all of those other guys looked at you and I always got so jealous. So Wendy what I'm trying to say is, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked hoping for her to say yes. "Yes!" She exclaimed.
"3."
"2."
"1."
"HAPPY NE-" Natsu interrupted Wendy and planted his lips on hers, it was a cozy-warm but soft feeling that they both shared. It's as if they didn't feel cold anymore, to deepen the kiss they wrapped their arms around each other and got closer. But soon they let go.
"Happy New Year's Wendy." He said.
