Normal POV

Natsu jogged up to Gajeel excitedly, wanting to make Lucy's present as soon as possible. Gajeel immediately saw him coming and gave him a half smirk.

"Yeah, its done Salamander. Now where's my payment?" Gajeel grumbled.

Natsu rolled his eyes before handing over the joules. He noticed Levy give a scowl from next to Gajeel and wondered what she was thinking. Gajeel nodded before handing Natsu a square of metal.

"I mixed all the metal you gave me together to make it as strong as possible. It'll be damn near impossible to break whatever you make out of that," Gajeel said proudly crossing his arms.

"Thanks. It means a lot," Natsu said smiling before he turned and ran off to sit at a table in the guild and begin his work.

Gajeel stood in awe before Levy was the first to speak up.

"When did Natsu get manners?" Levy said, holding into Gajeel's arm.

"I have no idea. He's been less of a dense hot head lately. I wonder what caused it," Gajeel chuckled his infamous laugh.

"Maybe it has to do with Lucy," Levy said as she kissed Gajeel's arm.

"Hmph, you're probably right shrimp," Gajeel said back before nuzzling the top of her head.


Natsu didn't care who was watching him as long as Lucy didn't see it until he was finished. Natsu immediately went to work, melting down the metal and shaping it into the form he wanted. Cana and Mira watched from a distance, extremely curious as to what he was making. Eventually almost all of the guild noticed how determined Natsu looked and began to watch from afar.

Natsu carefully molded the metal into a key, giving little fine details that swirled about the handle. He nodded to himself before he pulled the gemstones he had bought with Lucy out of his pocket and began to inlay them into the top of the key. He put the largest piece in the center, mimicking the way Lucy's keys had a symbol in the center. By the time he was finished with the key everyone had silently creeped over and was now standing behind him watching.

Natsu then went to work pulling apart the rest of the metal and shaping it into links. He made hundreds of tiny links before he started to piece them together into a necklace. He focused completely on what he was doing, not noticing the fact the entire guild was watching him. He finally finished the necklace and carefully attached the key to it.

Natsu held the necklace up to himself, smiling at his work. He got up to go and check on Lucy and immediately bumped into…well everyone.

"Hey! What's the big idea? Why are you all watching me?" Natsu said, snorting out a burst of flames.

Mira giggled before being the first to speak up, " We all wanted to see what you were making Lucy of course!"

"How did you know I was making something for Lucy?" Natsu retorted looking down.

"Oh come on Natsu, who else would you be making something for?" Macao said laughing.

Natsu let out another puff of fire before he nodded to the entire guild and started to make his way to check on Lucy.

"Natsu wait!" He heard a voice yell from behind him. Natsu stopped on the stairs and spun around to see Levy running up to him.

"I have something you might like. I thought it was a really cool idea," she said shyly, holding up a book.

"What is it?" Natsu said interested. He knew Levy was Lucy's best friend and would have a good idea of what she would like.

Levy walked up to him and showed him the book, " Well you see in here it says that Dragon Slayer's and their mates have a bond that connects them even when they are thousands of miles apart. For instance, Gajeel and I can speak telepathically, even when he's far away on a job."

"What?! Why didn't I know about this? Why can't I do cool things like that?" Natsu said frowning and crossing his arms.

"Well, once you and Lucy have umm…mated…you will be able to do that too. But anyway what I was trying to tell you is that the bond between you and Lucy can be strengthened with tangible objects. You just put your magic into both and you will be able to sense wherever Lucy is and know when she's in trouble," Levy finished, shutting the book.

"Well why didn't you tell me? I've got some work to do!" Natsu said as he raced back down to the table he had been working at, starting to melt and mold the remaining metal.

Once again the guild started to watch, but as they got closer he shot out a giant wall of fire which effectively pushed everyone back at a comfortable distance. Natsu worked the metal into a small circle, sizing it on his fingers over and over again. He added a few delicate details for looks and added a single red gemstone to the center. He nodded at his work and put the ring and the necklace on the table before he placed his hands on them and blew magic energy into them. He watched in awe as magic swirled in the gemstones and left behind the symbol of the starry dragon he had seen before when he gave Lucy his magic energy. He jumped up in excitement, making his way to Lucy, knowing she would absolutely love his gift.


Natsu quietly opened the door, walking over to sit with Lucy. He smiled at Gray and Juvia who smiled back before quietly taking their exit. He watched the gentle fall and rise of Lucy's chest as she laid. He hoped she would wake up soon. He felt bad that the news had overwhelmed her so much but he would make it up to her.

He sat, thinking of how he would confess. He had wanted to make an elaborate plan with flowers and a date, but something told him that wouldn't be what Lucy wanted. Lucy knew he wasn't the clever type exactly and he rarely thought before acting. He decided he would be spontaneous, doing it when he felt the moment was right. He knew that would mean more to her than planning something out.

Natsu sat back smiling, unable to hold in the happiness of knowing they truly were meant to be. He played with fire on his fingers tips, letting it roll between his fingers as he inspected the flames. He half smiled again, the flames starting to grow on him. He didn't care that they seemed more girly than before. They were a piece of Lucy and that was all that mattered.

Suddenly, Lucy started to stir and turned her head to look at Natsu. She smiled big and had a twinkle in her eye that immediately told Natsu what he needed to do. He got down onto his knees, earning a look from Lucy and he grabbed her hand, looking her straight in the eyes. He pulled out the necklace he had made her and began to speak.
